Chapter 342: Uppercase Awesome (3/4!) )

During last summer's draft, Don approached Matthews and said the team was going to sign him, giving him a taste of what it was like to go from hell to heaven.

The Rockets led by 22 points at this point and were chased to 1 point in the blink of an eye, and the fans at the scene experienced what it was like to go from heaven to hell.

The same thrill!

The timeout came back to the Rockets' offense.

There was less than one minute left in the game.

This offensive round is crucial for the Rockets.

Yao Ming fell low, and O'Neill used all his strength to squeeze him out.

Seeing that there was no chance, Billups gave the ball to Maddy, who borrowed Battier to block and kill the basket.

Maddie made a nice pull-out to shake James away and make a jumper from close range.

"Bang!"

The physical exertion was too great, and the ball that was originally nine out of ten also popped out of the frame.

The scene was in an uproar.

But Yao Ming showed the strength of MVP at this time, pressing O'Neal to grab key rebounds.

James retracted the basket, and Yao Ming made a second pass to Maddie.

Maddie jumped up and was about to fly the buckle.

James turned around again at this time and directly used his body to block the gun's hole.

He's really fighting.

"Bang!"

Maddie shoves the ball into the basket across James.

The ball flew off, but James was also whistled for a blocking foul.

Maddie's two free throws.

All eyes on the room were on the free-throw line.

At this time, if Maddy makes both free throws, there are less than 20 seconds left, and the initiative of the Rockets is very large.

Tang Tian got up at this time and called Brown up and asked him to come on the court to replace Green.

Maddie's two free throws.

The scene quickly fell silent.

Maddie took a deep breath.

He didn't stop for a minute in this game, although because he was black, his endurance would be better than Yao Ming's, but it was almost to the limit.

First penalty.

"Bang!"

The ball was a little shorter, but it rolled into the basket.

The audience fell together, and their hearts felt like they were going to jump out.

"Whew!"

Maddie took a deep breath.

"Rebound!" Tang Tian shouted on the sidelines at this time.

The moment Maddie made a move, she added some force.

"Bang!"

This shot is heavy!

The ball leaps high and the basket scrambles.

At this time, Brown relied on his broad body, turned around and reached out to grab the defensive rebound.

Yi Jianlian pounced, and the two of them fought together.

Basketball IQ played a decisive role at this point, with Brown making a timeout gesture to the referee as he rolled over.

The referee reaches out and points to the backcourt.

Cavaliers' timeout.

There was a stirring at the scene.

At 112-110, the Rockets led by 2 points, and the Cavaliers had one last chance to attack.

Familiar scores.

Familiar scenes.

The members of Team Rocket unconsciously looked up at the scorer.

A year ago, they had their first game against the Lakers.

Maddie's three-point shot is still vivid.

Now, however, their manager is on the other side of the pitch.

"It's a miracle, it's a miracle." On the commentary seat, Barkley sighed again and again there.

"What do you think Team Rocket will choose?" Barkley sighed and turned to look at Smith.

"As is Don's habit, he's probably going to pick a three-pointer, but it seems to be back to the point where it's hard for us to guess, and we don't know who will execute the last shot." Smith said with a smile.

Barkley smiled and nodded, Tang Tian's choice was really difficult to guess.

Green hit two three-pointers before, Louis Williams also scored one, and Matthews also had three-point ability.

Everything can only be known when the game is really compared.

Returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers made substitutions, with Novak and Green coming on for Louis Williams and Brown.

Novak is all on the field, this is a clear bet on three points!

Thibodeau didn't call a timeout when he saw it, turned around and called Salmons up, asking him to replace Yi Jianlian, who was about to go up.

In the final moments, he also used a small lineup to defend the Cavaliers' three-pointers.

The Cavaliers sent the ball out of the backcourt, and James dribbled to the frontcourt to start pressing the time.

Novak gave Green a pick-and-roll, and Green blocked a pick-and-roll for Louis Williams.

The Cavaliers' three-point tactics are flying, and the Rockets are also desperately following people.

The Rockets' defense was almost perfect, and the Cavaliers still didn't have a chance to run as the clock entered the penultimate five seconds.

The Rockets' defense looks like it's about to be!

At this moment, James suddenly took the ball and dribbled in one step, accelerated and rushed directly to the basket.

This came down too suddenly, and the attention of the entire Rockets team was all on the three-point defense, and no one expected James to come this way.

Battier's reaction couldn't stop James' breakthrough.

James rushed to the basket and almost made a dunk at the whistle.

112 to 112, the two teams were tied.

The Rockets were left with only the final 0.9 seconds.

Thibodeau called a timeout and set up a play, and Maddie's buzzer-beating three-pointer missed.

The two sides went into extra time.

"The Rockets did a good job defensively, and although LeBron scored a little easily, they blocked three-pointers." Barkley spoke from the commentary box.

Smith didn't echo this time, but turned his head to look at the Cavaliers bench suspiciously.

Over there, Tang Tian had already begun to arrange tactics, and the Cavaliers were also listening carefully.

Was that really a three-point shot just arranged?

"It's just like that, and when it comes to extra time, it's best for us, and then add the last push." Tang Tian said to his teammates.

The arrangement he just made was a score of 2.

Those three-pointers, including Novak, who came on the court, were just a façade.

How to choose needs to be based on the situation on the court, the main force of the Rockets is exhausted, and playing overtime is obviously more beneficial to the Cavaliers.

A few minutes later, extra time began.

The Cavaliers are still full of physical strength, but the Rockets duo are obviously not physically strong.

Yao Ming also relied on free throws to score points on the inside, Maddie was purely iron on the outside, and Billups and Battier didn't have a chance to shoot.

In the end, the Cavaliers beat the Rockets 10-4 in overtime, reversing the Rockets 122-116 to win the first win of the Finals.

James had 39 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, Matthews and Artest each scored 16 points, and Green hit four 3-pointers, two of which were in the crucial fourth quarter, scoring 12 points.

On the Rockets' side, Yao Ming made 36 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists on 12-of-23 shooting, and Maddy scored 29 points in the whole game, but he only made 12 of 33 shots, and almost the whole game was playing iron after entering the fourth quarter.

When the final whistle blew, the fans at the scene still felt incredible, the Rockets lost?

Leading by 22 points, it was overturned?

And you didn't have a temper at all when you were beaten in overtime?

At this time, Smith unconsciously gave Tang Tian a thumbs up in the direction.

After the game, he could more or less guess Tang Tian's choice for the last attack in the regular season.

I have to admire the choice made by Tang Tian under high pressure.
