Chapter 312 The last minute!

Last 3 minutes!

The tense atmosphere before the decisive battle tightly choked the hearts of all the fans, not only the Rockets fans at the scene, but also the Warriors fans in front of the TV. The fans watching the big screen in the Oracle Center stared nervously at the big screen , for fear of missing a little detail.

The fans of the Golden State Warriors are especially loyal. Even if they can't go to the away game to support the Warriors, they still have to go to the Oracle Center to watch the big screen with everyone and cheer for the Warriors!

"Hey, Teacher Su Qun, who do you think can win the game in the last 3 minutes?" Ke Fan asked Su Qun.

"It's really hard to say. There are too many influencing factors. Both sides have superstars who decide the game. The Rockets have James Harden, and the Warriors have Zhang Xin. Harden's critical moments are very powerful, let alone Zhang Xin. Alright, the king of the final quarter, as long as the game enters the last 3 minutes of the final quarter, his performance will definitely surprise you, but today is the home court of the Rockets, so it depends on how the Rockets resist Zhang Xin." Su Qun said with a smile.

"Although it's difficult for Mr. Su to say, there is already a prediction between the lines. Mr. Su is more optimistic about the Warriors, right?" Ke Fan teased.

"Haha, that's true. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors reversed the Rockets' good situation in the first three quarters. At the highest point, the Warriors even trailed by 25 points. Under Zhang Xin's crazy performance in the fourth quarter, the Warriors froze. The 25 points were brought back. The morale of the Warriors is now high, and the Rockets are already working hard, then decline, and three times. When you look at the shots of the soldiers of the Rockets, their expressions are different, but you can see None of them looked like their morale was high, but looking at the Warriors, they all talked and laughed at Yan Yan, showing strong confidence in the game, which has already been judged, of course, the result still depends on the performance on the court." Su Qun said .

"Okay, the timeout is over, let's continue to watch the game."

The Rockets got the ball, Jason Terry dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, Harden came out to catch the ball, Terry ambushed the three-point line, Harden beckoned Howard to the high pick-and-roll, Howard rolled down the first block, Harden sent the ball over the head In the past, Howard worked up his courage, and under the interference of Green and Iguodala, he dunked the ball into the basket abruptly!
Howard's tough performance ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the Toyota Center, and the cheers like a tsunami resounded through the Toyota Center again.

"Hey, Howard played the ball tough. He overwhelmed Iguodala and Draymond Green's blocks and dunked the ball abruptly. It was a shot in the arm for the Rockets. The Rockets led again by 2 Now it depends on how the Warriors respond."

The Warriors are not in a hurry, there is still a long time, just play steadily.

Zhang Xin passed the halftime under Ariza's entanglement, Zhang Xin carefully observed Ariza's footsteps, well, it was too slow, Ariza was tired!
Zhang Xin dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, didn't even call a high screen, and directly attacked Ariza. Zhang Xin passed Ariza directly with a crossover and went straight to Huanglong. Josh Smith on the flank rushed to defend, Zhang Xin sent the ball to With a throw from the sky, Iguodala dunked successfully!

The cheers at the Toyota Center couldn't help but stagnate.

"Hey, Harden passed a lob to Howard, Zhang Xin responded immediately, and passed a lob to Iguodala, a gentleman's revenge, can't wait for a moment!" Ke Fan said excitedly.

Harden directly dribbled the ball across the half court, broke through with the help of a screen, and then passed it to veteran Jason Terry. Terry shot a three-pointer, but it was a little short. It seemed that he was really tired. Thompson took the rebound and rushed over quickly In the frontcourt, he didn’t make a shot, and gave Zhang Xin at the top of the arc. After Thompson passed the ball, he didn’t stop. A V-cut movement made a little space, and Zhang Xin’s ball returned to Thompson’s hands. , Thompson hit a three-pointer with a knife in his hand!
"Awesome! Thompson's running position is really clever. A simple V-shaped air cut can get a shot. Zhang Xin plays very clearly. He knows who to attack and how to attack. He knows who to attack the ball. The strength and timing are just right, and running to catch and shoot is like slashing the water, in fact, it’s just a short moment, if you miss it, it’s gone.” Su Qun said.

The Warriors took another three-point lead, and now the pressure was on the Rockets, with less than 2 minutes left.

Coach McHale was on the sidelines with his hips on the sidelines. Although his face was as heavy as water, he couldn't see how he was feeling, but the habit of akimbo not often appearing on him revealed his nervousness.

When Harden dribbled the ball at halftime, he and McHale looked at each other. McHale nodded in encouragement, and Harden nodded in greeting. Both the master and the apprentice saw the pressure in each other's eyes.

Thompson pestered Harden after halftime. Harden didn't try to break through by himself. Thompson's footsteps were solid, and he could break through him when he was physically strong, but for this sake, he no longer had the strength to break through. You can only let your teammates come over to block it.

Ariza hurried over to block Harden, but Zhang Xin let go of Ariza, and Thompson flanked Harden from the high position. Harden was exhausted and his reaction slowed down, so he asked Zhang Xin to take the ball out. Let's go, the flank attack is successful at the high position, and it is more convenient to switch offenses. After Zhang Xin started, there was no one in front of him, and Zhang Xin dunked successfully!

The point difference is 5 points!
The fans of the Rockets looked sad and mournful, and the cheering and cheering sound fell down.

Coach McHale hurriedly called a timeout, and had to adjust his tactics quickly. There was only 1 minute left. If the Warriors delayed the time, it would take two normal offensive time. If they couldn’t score all of them, today’s Rockets would kneel again .

Back from the timeout, McHale's tactics hit the nail on the head, and for the first time, he was initiated from the inside. Josh Smith singled Iguodala with his back, attracting Zhang Xin's help defense, Josh Smith passed the ball to Ariza on the outside, and Ariza took the knife Fall, hit the corner three-pointer!

Now the fans at the Toyota Center became active, cheering one after another, and the whole venue was immersed in joy. Zhang Xin smiled, you are still behind.

Green served the ball quickly, but Zhang Xin was not in a hurry. He dribbled the ball across the front court and stopped near the logo. The rest of the Warriors consciously dispersed. After about 10 seconds, Green went up to give Zhang Xin blocked it, and Ariza dared not let Green go, so he could only be taken away by Green who was running down.

Howard was exposed to Zhang Xin's muzzle!
Without hesitation, Zhang Xin made a breakthrough with his right hand to attract Howard's center of gravity, and then quickly changed direction in front of his body and switched to a breakthrough with his left hand, which left Howard behind. Pass the ball to Barnes in the bottom corner, and Barnes hits a three-pointer with his bow and arrow!
The cheering fans at the Toyota Center were poured with cold water, from head to toe to heart, they were completely chilled!
