With 1 minute and 59 seconds left, the Mavericks were 90:93 and had already chased the gap to 3 points.
Now, it’s the Hornets’ turn to frown.
Their defensive strategy didn’t work out during that timeout, and not only did the trap fail, but they also allowed the Mavericks to shoot an open three-pointer.
Judging by the results, this defensive strategy is undoubtedly a failure.
Pei Yun, a rookie player, not only appears sophisticated and calm in attacking with the ball, but also has a level that young players do not have in the overall situation.
He read perfectly the holes in the Hornets’ defensive formation and crossed multiple players to get the ball into the hands of Terry, the weak bottom corner.
Such a delicate passing method, few people in the league can have.
For the first time, Chris Paul’s originally unfazed handsome face showed an incredulous expression.
However, this expression was fleeting, and immediately, he returned to normal, cheering his teammates on: “It’s no big deal, play well and attack, we will still win the game!” ”
Paul is confident, and that confidence comes from his strength and talent, as well as the suppression of the Mavericks for most of the five games.
They only have 1 timeout left and obviously won’t call a timeout at this time, Chris Paul has his own problem-solving ability on the field, which Scott trusts very much.
The Hornets attacked, and Chris Paul began to control the tempo, although for most of the series, they used the strategy of increasing the pace of the game to bring down the Mavericks.
But in the last two minutes, with the score ahead, the success rate is the wisest choice.
The choice was the Hornets’ most efficient high-end blocker.
David West’s cover for Chris Paul at the three-point line was perfect, and the Mavericks could only let Kidd and Buss delay Paul at the same time to free the pulled West.
Not being able to let Paul break inside is something the Mavericks understand.
They don’t put a traditional frame guard on the court, and under the basket is Dirknowitzki, and if Paul is allowed to go deeper, he will take points as he wants.
However, emptying David West is not a good thing, his mid-range shooting is very accurate, and he has suffered many times for the Mavericks before.
In fact, the Mavericks often face the problem of trade-offs on the defensive end, just like the Hornets in the last round, whether they included Pei Yun or not, it was the same situation.
Paul decisively returned the ball to West, who shot straight away.
Rise!
It was the sound of a basketball hitting the neck of the basket, a heavy goal.
Such a sound may not be as pleasant as the hollow net sound of the basket, but it is also reassuring.
90:95
Paul and West smiled and high-fived as they returned to defense, and they became the best partners in this series, and even this past season, and this combination has been tried and tested, and no team can take them.
The score was extended again, leaving a range where the ball could catch up.
There is 1 minute and 38 seconds left.
The young general John Xun still did not call a timeout, their attack was smooth, and they could not interrupt their rhythm at this time.
The Mavericks attacked, and Pei Yun controlled the ball over the front court.
It was still Stojakovic who defended, but this time, the bag did not arrive immediately.
After the last round, the Hornets’ defense was a bit of a rat thrower, and they didn’t dare to let go of the far end, because it was clear that Pei Yun had an extremely good ability to handle the ball.
In contrast, letting Pei Yun play alone may be a better way.
Everyone knows that no one can be accurate all the time.
However, Pei Yun did not choose to single, but passed the ball to Dirknowitzki, who was already in a good position in the 45-degree free throw area.
Dirk, who managed to get the ball, faced David West’s defense, and he was ready to single with the ball.
If the Hornets don’t pack it, he’s superior in height and weight, and there’s no reason not to play alone.
Now, the Hornets are having trouble again.
Is it a clip or not?
If Pei Yun singled Peija, they would not be so difficult to decide, because after all, Pei Yun was just a rookie who appeared for the first time.
Perhaps, as Scott said, some rookie players are extremely excited to debut, and maybe they will play at a high level.
Then, Pei Yun may lose his extraordinary feel at any time and return to normal.
But Novitsky is different, he is the league’s offensive killer, and any team facing him, when there is no other threat, will almost always choose to pack.
Now the situation is different, and Pei Yun has become the second threat point.
Do you want to wrap it or not?
Paul immediately made a decision and yelled, “Peja, bag! ”
Having received the order, Stoyakovich immediately left Peiyun and rushed to Novitsky.
Nowitzki returned the ball to Pei Yun before the bag formed.
After Pei Yun received the ball, he immediately made a three-point shooting gesture.
Time had entered the final decisive moment, and the three-point shooter Peja used almost all his strength, and he struggled to come back again, desperately jumping up to cover Pei Yun’s three-point shot.
Even if it is just a disturbance, they have a good chance of winning the game with a five-point lead.
However, Pei Yun’s three-point shooting posture is another feint.
Peja’s vigorous jump in the air could not contain the momentum at all.
When he approached Pei Yun, Pei Yun deflected his body slightly, crashed into Peja, and shot three points!
Beep!
The referee whistles, shoots a foul!
It was a three-point foul that the Hornets players were dumbfounded.
Swish!
Even more desperately, the goal went in.
It’s a chance to play 3+1!
