Legendary star

Chapter 410 Congratulations

"Meng, don't be nervous, no matter what the result is, we believe in your choice." 102 to 103, the Pacers trailed by 1 point, with 0.4 seconds left, the Pacers' hopes of winning were slim, but Larry Bird still Without giving up, he called a timeout three times in a row, first to appease the emotions of the players under his command, and then began to arrange the tactics for the last shot.

"Reggie, after the timeout, the Lakers are likely to put all their defensive attention on Meng. Once Meng can't get rid of the defense, you will take the last shot." The time of 0.4 seconds is fleeting, and the Lakers Naturally, Meng Xu, who is the most threatening, will focus on defense. Therefore, in this last attack, under the strict defense of the Lakers, Meng Xu may not even be able to catch the ball. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange a backup to replace him. Meng Xu made the last shot, and Reggie Miller was undoubtedly the best candidate.

"James, you and Jamal pay attention to keeping a distance and creating opportunities for Meng and Reggie! Once Meng and Reggie have no chance, no matter who you two are, don't have any hesitation or worries." In this final In 0.4 seconds, it is meaningless to continue to deploy a blue-collar insider like Lorenzen White, so Larry Bird replaced Lorenzen White with James Posey. Whether James Posey is 3 points or mid-range shots All very threatening.

"Jermaine, I will run beyond the top of the arc later, and then run back to the basket. As long as I turn around and cross the free throw line, you will pass the ball immediately, understand?" After finishing the tactics, when he took James Posey and Jamal Tinsley to teach them face-to-face, Meng Xu also took out a tactical board, pulled Jermaine O'Neal to his side, and communicated with him the specific details.

"Ervin, at this time, reminded me of last season's Western Conference Finals again. It was Derek Fisher's 0.4-second shocking lore that helped the Lakers eliminate the Spurs and reach the finals." When the timeout whistle The sound rang continuously, and when Larry Bird and Phil Jackson were hurrying to arrange tactics, Michaels on the commentary seat was already full of sweat. Michaels could now clearly feel that his hands were already slightly shaking. Trembling, this is excitement, it is excitement, in the face of this kind of passionate fighting, and lore and counter-lore, no one can keep calm.After drinking a glass of water in one breath, Michaels barely calmed down his excitement. Looking at the players from the two teams who had reappeared, Michaels looked at his partner: "Erwin, do you think it's still possible today? Will there be a miracle?"

"If a miracle happens every time, then he can't call it a miracle." After hearing what Michaels said, Magic Johnson subconsciously shook his head, but after a slight pause, Magic Johnson smiled again Said: "The motto of the NBA league is the place where miracles are born. For all young people with dreams, if they have dreams and work hard, there will be miracles!"

Hearing his partner speak at length, but he didn't seem to say anything, Michaels smiled and shook his head, then turned his attention to the court.

Under the constant urging of the technical officials on the sidelines, Jermaine O'Neal, who was sent by the Pacers, walked to his position. Shaq O'Neal happened to be standing not far from him, waving his arms constantly, blocking his sight At the same time, it also distracted him by the way.The rest of the players on both sides were all gathered in the small area near the free throw line and the top of the arc, dragging and tearing each other, especially Meng Xu, who was sandwiched between Kobe and Rick Fox like a sandwich biscuit. .

Just after all the players on both sides had settled down, the entire Staples Center fell silent. Everyone stood up and waited quietly for the last 0.4 seconds.When the referee on the sidelines put the whistle in his mouth and Jermaine O'Neal held up the basketball in his hand, the 0.4 seconds that decided the game, and even the title of this season's championship, were finally about to begin.

When the referee's whistle blew, the players from both sides who had gathered near the free throw line immediately dispersed like a swarm of bees. Jamal Tinsley sprinted towards the nearest corner, while James Posey and Ray Jimmeller and the two went straight to the left and right sides of the 3-point line. As for Meng Xu, what is surprising is that when Meng Xu pushed away Kobe who was tearing him, he stopped immediately after stepping on the top of the arc. Footsteps, and ran towards the basket in the opposite direction.

"Robert, protect the basket!" After seeing Meng Xu turn around and go straight to the basket, Phil Jackson subconsciously said something bad, because when he was arranging the defense, he never thought that Meng Xu would go to the basket. The Lakers' defensive attention is all focused on defending the Pacers' mid-range and long-range shots.Just when Meng Xu ran back, James Posey, who had already run far beyond the 3-point line, suddenly turned back, not only getting rid of Robert Hawley who was defending him, but also blocking Kobe behind Meng Xu , now Phil Jackson can only pin all his hopes on Robert Hawley, who is on defense.

"Meng, catch the ball." When Meng Xu rushed into the paint with Robert Holly, who was on defense, Jermaine O'Neal on the sidelines immediately exerted all his strength and threw the basketball out of his hand. The basketball thrown by O'Neal passed over O'Neal's head and flew towards the basket with a very high arc.

The basketball flew very high. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the flying basketball. At this moment, the entire Staples Center was as quiet as suffocating.

When the basketball flying in the air began to draw an arc and land, a player in a white striped shirt also flew up.

. . . . . .

"Meng, congratulations." Seeing Meng Xu hanging on the basket with one arm on the TV, and Duncan watching the live broadcast of the game in the Virgin Islands, he picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and pointed at the TV on the TV. Meng Xu raised it, and then said a few words softly.Last season's Western Conference Finals has always been a pain in Duncan's heart. Duncan also knows that not only himself, Popovich and Meng Xu, but even David, Sean, Mario, everyone on that Spurs team, They are all brooding over that 0.4 seconds.Perhaps without that 0.4 seconds, the Spurs would have established a dynasty, and that 0.4 seconds was also the trigger for the Spurs to fall apart. Sean and Mario retired after the season, Meng Xu chose to leave the team, and the Spurs, who won two consecutive championships, ended collapse.

He raised his glass and drank it down. On the TV screen, the Pacers players had already started to celebrate wildly. Everyone on the court and on the sidelines rushed into the court. Behind their crazy celebration, the Lakers players They were still standing there blankly, and countless audiences on the scene put their hands on their heads, as if they couldn't believe everything in front of them.

While the Pacers were celebrating wildly around Meng Xu, Reggie Miller quietly sat on the sidelines at some point, leaning against the billboard on the sidelines, clutching the jersey on his chest with one hand, tears, It slipped from the corner of his eyes uncontrollably. 15 years of hard work and hard work finally paid off. The oath he made when he entered the league was finally fulfilled today.

　Appreciate the monthly pass to Sparta Booth, thank you.

　　Thank you kimchi for the monthly pass, thank you.

　　Thank you for the monthly pass of Shengchao Yongchang, thank you.

　　Thank you for the monthly pass for walking alone in the rain, thank you.

　　I saw some book friends talking about hacking sharks in the book review area. I will also briefly talk about shark hacking tactics here. The current rules of the league are modified from the rules for intentional off-ball fouls introduced in 08. The current rules are In the last 2 minutes of the quarter, as long as there is a foul on players without the ball, it is two free throws and one throw. The previous rule is only valid in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter and overtime. Years ago, there was no such rule, which is why the hacking X tactic prevailed at that time, and the shark hacking tactic was used when the team was behind. No one will kill the Sharks, especially when they are only leading by 2 or 08 points. After all, no matter how bad O'Neal is in free throws, he still makes 1 of 2 free throws. If O'Neal makes both free throws, who do you cry to?
