The Basketball Court Swordsman - Chapter 737

Steve Kerr and his players are unwilling to give up the championship, and none of the Pacers players want to play abnormally in Henson’s most important game.

Both sides are determined to win, and both sides played very well. As a result, the game was very anxious.

From the very beginning of the game, Henson took his ultimate lineup. It can be known how much he desires to win this game.

The final lineup has only appeared twice in the playoffs this season. Once was the first round of the Pistons, the final lineup wiped out the opponent in just five minutes.

The second time was the last game, desperate fourth quarter, the ultimate lineup helped the Pacers equalize the 12-point difference and stage a lore.

Today, for the first time in the playoffs, the ultimate lineup has played from the beginning of the game. Henson was very fortunate to have made this decision, because the Warriors’ performance today is too good. If not for the ultimate lineup, his career might really be prolonged.

In the first quarter of the game, Stephen Curry’s magical three-pointer made double serve difficult to separate. In the second quarter, Klay Thompson stood up. His excellent off-the-ball cut, coupled with Cousins’ tacit support, allowed this top off-the-ball attacker to play like a fish in water.

In the third quarter, Green and Cousins, two highly questioned giants, joined forces to play a beautiful game. Green and Cousins’ cooperation in the pass and the defensive end have prevented the Pacers’ offensive momentum.

In the fourth quarter, as always, Kevin Durant began to control the game. In the last game, Durant scored 31 points and hit a key three-pointer. If it weren’t for Antetokounmpo’s dunk lore, yesterday should have belonged to Durant’s night.

So today, the No. 35 forward does not want to leave any chance to the Pacers. If the points difference is opened in advance, there will be no so-called critical rounds. Without a critical round, there is no chance to kill!

It’s rare to see that the five superstars of the Warriors performed very well. But when the Warriors came down with a devastating wave of attacks, they found that the score difference was still only 3 points in the last minute of the game.

“Nice three-pointer, PJ Tucker, this is already his second three-pointer from the corner in the fourth quarter! Antetokounmpo’s offensive rebound is beautiful, I don’t know this is today’s walk It’s the first few times that the Zhe’s team completed a second offense because of offensive rebounds. Their lineup is too balanced to find any weaknesses!”

Mike Brin waved his arms excitedly, and the Pacers escaped again.

As he said, the Pacers’ lineup is too balanced to find any weaknesses. Because of this, the Warriors have not been able to kill the game.

Whenever the Pacers are about to fall into a cliff, they can always come back to life in a variety of ways.

Tucker’s three-pointer put the Pacers behind only 3 points in the last minute of the game. The next defense is extremely important for the Pacers.

But the Pacers players are not nervous, because Henson has arranged everything.

Curry had just been in possession of the ball just past half-court, and Siakam was guarded against it. It has to be said that Siakam’s physical condition brought Curry to a very strong pressure. Although Curry has made 5 of 7 3-pointers today, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants.

Seeing that he had no chance, Curry chose to pass the ball. Use Siakam to lead Curry, this is Henson’s first line of defense.

Subsequently, Antetokounmpo and Tucker put great pressure on Cousins ​​and Green, respectively, not allowing them to get close to the basket. Tucker and Antetokounmpo are both forwards, but they did not lose the wind in the fight against the inside of the Warriors. This is Henson’s second line of defense.

Curry, Cousins ​​and Green were not given a chance, and basketball naturally went to Durant’s hands. The defending Durant is still Paul George.

Although Durant’s score is still not low today, George still played a certain limiting role. In the face of a scorer of Durant’s level, as long as his scoring efficiency can be appropriately reduced, it is already grateful.

Durant was holding the ball and preparing for a singles, only to find Klay Thompson ran out. Compared to fighting alone, naturally, the chance of deriving a chance to score a goal is greater!

Defending Clay is Kuzma, who is considered the biggest hole in the Pacers’ defensive end.

And the reason why Henson let the weakest defensive Kuzma stare at Clay is not unreasonable. Although Clay scored 8 points in the second quarter, most of the points were actually obtained by easy layups after the cut. His shooting touch today is actually very ordinary, especially in the second half. So far in the fourth quarter, Clay has missed three consecutive shots.

Either it was because of the huge physical consumption that affected Clay’s accuracy, or this guy didn’t feel good today. Regardless of the reason, Clay’s three-point shooting rate today is not stable enough, and this is the result.

Therefore, Henson can safely ask Kuzma to target Clay.

What’s more, under the effect of Henson’s progress acceleration badge, Kuzma’s defense is actually not as unbearable as people think.

Catch the ball, adjust, shoot. Klay Thompson’s shot was very decisive and he didn’t procrastinate.

But Kuzma blocked it in time, after all, this guy’s enthusiasm was there. And at the end of the fourth quarter, Clay’s stamina was almost exhausted.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to make a long shot. As a result, this three-pointer that could kill the game knocked out. P.J. Tucker received today’s 13th rebound, Henson used the last timeout!

“Bogdanovic, you replace Kyle Kuzma! For a three-pointer, we need to chase a three-pointer! Tucker makes an off-the-ball screen, and then rushes to the corner to attract the defense. George breaks through, Ade Tokumbo responds. After they forget Bogdanovic, bang! We can equalize!”

Henson used every minute and every second of the timeout to the fullest. This was his last game, but when the game started, Henson found that he didn’t have so many distracting thoughts in his heart.

He just wants to win, which is what he thinks is the most fascinating thing in basketball.

Henson’s arrangement worked. When George broke through with the ball and Tucker ran to the corner, everyone in the Warriors thought that George had to give Tucker the ball. After all, the “inside player” who is less than 2 meters tall has caused the Warriors to suffer in the fourth quarter.

But in the forgotten right horn, Bogdanovic received the basketball. This anti-aircraft turret, which has maintained a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40% in the playoffs, aimed to fire and made three-pointers into the net.

When the game was about to end with 39 seconds left, the Pacers equalized and successfully landed!

At that moment, the whole banker’s life arena shook, and Steve Kerr covered his head with his hands in annoyance.

Once again, his team once again missed the opportunity to end the game. And such mistakes are often unforgivable and costly.

“Go in, Bojan Bogdanovic, hit a key three-pointer as soon as he played! Or we can say that Coach Henson’s tactics and personnel adjustments have achieved results as soon as he played! This is a great coach. The ability to control the game!”

At this time, neither side was suspended, so the Warriors’ next offense was a little flustered.

The Pacers followed Henson’s instructions and insisted on the strategy of unlimited defenses. In this way, the Warriors’ pick-and-rolls and empty cuts have become useless.

Finally, Durant wanted to end the game with a strong shot. But he failed again, and Paul George would not allow this to happen.

In the last 7 seconds of the game, the two sides still tied. In the stands, the fans are already excited and ready to raise a sign that says “Thank you, Henson” to bid farewell to the legendary coach and usher in the championship.

But don’t forget, the Warriors’ desire to win is also very strong!

At the last moment of the game, Antetokounmpo’s breakthrough layup was blocked by Cousins ​​flying out of bounds. No one knows when Cousins ​​came in. He is one of the few players who can block Antetokounmpo in the playoffs this season.

Although basketball is out of bounds, the ball still belongs to the Pacers. But at this time, with only 1.3 seconds left before the end of the game, the Pacers players must shoot as soon as they catch the ball.

Cole’s heart was beating wildly, as if he was riding a shuttle train from **** to heaven. Hell in the first second, rebirth in the second.

At this point, Henson still has several ways to end the game, but he has no time to pause. He wanted to repeat the old tricks, so he walked to the sidelines with a glass of water, ready to let the players hit him to interrupt the game, and then took the opportunity to deploy tactics.

Unfortunately, the referee noticed Henson’s behavior and gave a warning. As a result, Henson’s small actions had no choice but to stop.

In the end, under the close defense of the Warriors, the Pacers made a sideline ball error.

The moment Green completed the steal, the electronic buzzer rang. 108 to 108, the two sides drew, and this year’s finals reached overtime for the first time!

The signs that the fans had to hold up were put down again, and no one thought that this would be the result in overtime. Both the Warriors and Pacers are in great shape, and the performance of both sides is indeed indistinguishable.

Steve Kerr did it, and he did extend Henson’s career.

Henson pouted. The Warriors’ willpower is really tenacious. The ultimate lineup started, but they failed to kill them.

It seems that my mission is not over yet.
