Chapter 294: Fatal Blow!
Eleventh hour!
The 2011-2012 NBA regular season finally entered its final moment.
In the Eastern and Western Leagues, the top-ranked teams have already determined the qualification for the playoffs, the results of each other's games, etc., which determine who owns the home advantage in the playoffs, and the last few games are still fiercely competitive.
And the teams that are hovering on the edge of the playoffs are desperate one by one, squeezing their heads and trying to squeeze into the door of the playoffs.
After all, for players, reaching the playoffs is also one of the goals of their careers, and being able to enter the playoffs, even if it is just going up to play soy sauce and paddling and accompanying the prince to study, can be regarded as having seen the real big scene.
And for the team, the significance of being able to make the playoffs is even greater.
In addition to being able to increase the team's exposure, lay the foundation for the next season, attract more sponsors, and more advertising revenue. It's hard to say that the ticket revenue from these games increased by the playoffs, as well as the revenue from live TV broadcasts.
"The playoffs are the real basketball ......!"
At home of the Sacramento Kings, the final game of the season is underway.
"There's always a saying in the NBA that we've reached that height, we've fought against the world hegemon at the time, and we've almost reached the top stage. But after that, we sank all the way, traded, rebuilt, drafted...... We've been through so much, our players, our team, our fans, and the city! ”
“MOVE-MOVE!”
On the court, players from both sides are still battling, and the margin is hovering between 5 and 10 points, and the Kings have a lead, but not too solid.
"Today is the last day of our game for the Kings, but tomorrow, our two biggest opponents in the playoffs — the Jazz and Mavericks — still have games!"
The on-site commentator grabbed the microphone with some excitement and said: "At present, our record is exactly the same, and all three teams still have hope of entering the playoffs." In terms of the head-to-head rankings, we are ahead against both the Jazz and the Mavericks. So as long as we win this game, we will not only ensure that we will make the playoffs, but also ensure that we will be the No. 7 seed in the West! ”
“…… Swish! ”
“NICE——!!”
On the court, Gu Yu bypassed countless covers, trekked through mountains and rivers, and finally found a good opportunity near the bottom line, received Evans' pass and hit a shot, stretching the difference to 9 points.
“YEEES——!!”
"Good ball, good ball!!"
The fans on the sidelines were already going crazy, raising their eyes to look at the scoreboard, there were about 3 minutes left in the game, and Gu Yu's goal hit greatly relieved the pressure on the Kings.
"At the same time, if we lose this game and tomorrow the Jazz and Mavericks win, then we're going to be kicked out of the playoffs and become lottery champions."
The commentator is still briefing fans who don't know much about the NBA rankings: "To take our destiny into our own hands, we have to win today's game, and we can't afford to lose!" LET’S-GO-KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS——!!! ”
"Whoop——!!!
A shout from the commentator sparked a frantic cheer at the Sleep Train Arena, and fans got up from their seats, all looking forward to another trip to the playoffs in many years.
"Bang!"
"Well done!!"
On the court, the team competing against the Kings is the Warriors, who have long missed the playoffs. After an air-cut dunk hit, the Warriors players also cheered up and encouraged each other.
Originally, the Warriors had a bad record this season, and if they lost the last game, they lost, it's not a big deal, in the eyes of Kings fans, your Warriors' "adult beauty" can send the Kings a victory, and at the same time, they can also send the Kings into the playoffs, why not.
But fans who are familiar with the NBA know that the Warriors team has had its glory and many lows in history. When it's rotten, it's rotten, it's called an earth-shattering ghost god, and when it's a cow, it can sweep the invincible opponent of the alliance.
But no matter what the team is up and down, no matter what the situation of the players on the team is, the last thing the Warriors lack is one word:
Courage and uprightness!
"Defend and defend!!"
The Warriors players returned to defense with all their strength, and there was no intention of giving face to the home team, even if the game had come to the last moment, they were still stumbling and not relaxing at all.
"Don't stop covering! Standing still is the greatest sin, have you forgotten??? ”
Westphaal could see that the players in the team were a little slack and tired, and immediately roared to refresh the players.
Although he was ruthless, Westphaal could understand the feelings of the young lads.
After 82 games in a season, it is not easy for the Kings' weak and young lineup to win nearly 50 games in the extremely competitive West.
These victories were won by young men who were inferior in some aspects, with their own blood and tears, as well as countless sweats, one by one, one section at a time, and one ball at a time. At this closing moment, it is normal to have some slackness in physical fitness and mentality.
But the most dangerous moment is precisely this time.
"We're better than them! We're going to hit a 50-win team, and the 50-win team in the West is the one you guys look like? What are you doing lazily on the field? Do you walk birds?!! ”
“…… Offensive ——!!! ”
The old man's "serious" words activated the fighting spirit of the king's young people, and the wolves led by Gu Yu were about to start to be congested, and the momentum when attacking was as terrifying as if they were going to devour the other party alive.
"Whoosh——!
In the frontcourt, Evans broke through to the middle distance with a cover and then passed the ball from behind, and Thompson received the ball under the basket, attracting the moment of defense, and the hand passed around the defender's waist and sent the ball to the other side of the basket.
DeMarcus Cousins, took off with a bang.
"Bang ——!!"
Hands buckle!
"Good Ball!! Optimus Prime on the inside of the Kings, Cousins' beautiful offensive !! ”
It's still a 9-point gap, but time continues to pass.
On the sidelines, the Warriors coach couldn't sit still.
"DeMarcus get the ball, you guys go up and pack me, you guys!!"
The coach said a word, and the Warriors players were stunned.
Bag clips?
We want to too!
But the bag clamp also has to be in accordance with the Basic Law, and you also have to see what kind of position is on the opposite side, right? ?
"Hahahaha! The hairstyle brother has always been ambushed on the side where Cousins is, and the Warriors players don't dare to let him go to trap Cousins, this move is really easy to contain! ”
That's right, pinning.
Gu Yu's scoring explosiveness is already well-known in the league, and after winning the AMVP in the All-Star Game, Gu Yu's fame has risen all the way on the rocket, and once became a hotly discussed figure among fans all over the world.
This season, Gu Yu's scoring stability has also increased significantly, and he is out of control after the All-Star break, and he is currently the most popular candidate for the most improved player, and even some fanatical Kings fans believe that Gu Yu is qualified to enter the best team for three teams.
It is not mentioned whether Gu Yu already has that level of strength, but his growing fame and level have indeed affected the defensive strategy and focus of every team against the Kings.
The game continued, the two sides went back and forth, and the Warriors' offensive touch was also explosive on this day, and all kinds of fairy balls could be thrown in.
However, the Kings' offense has a rich structure, clear layers, and Gu Yu's huge containment power on the outside gives Cousins and Evans enough space to score. Evans' breakaway hand-to-hand juggling layup, and Cousins' half-turned-back jumper helped the Kings maintain that delicate lead.
"Huh!"
In the last 45 seconds of the clock, the Warriors hit a three-pointer from the outside, narrowing the gap to 4 points, still maintaining the suspense of the game.
"Call a timeout!"
Carlil got up and anxiously suggested to Westfale: "To lay out a strategy with a high success rate, you must score points in this round......"
"No, you don't."
The old man calmed down a little, clasped his hands in front of his chest, nodded his chin and said, "Look." ”
"Huh......?"
Carlil looked up and saw Evans dribbling forward, Cousins striding forward to get ready, nothing out of the ordinary.
Only the big back, while running to the front, looked at Westfaal, and said a sentence with his mouth:
"No, to, temporary, stop, old, son, bring, you, fly!"
“…… Got it! ”
Westphal also couldn't laugh or cry, nodded and smiled, without saying much.
This kind of ball is the most workout.
The old man knew very well in his heart that Gu Yu's proposal was not wrong, and Carlil's proposal was not wrong.
Calling a timeout can indeed set up a good offensive tactic and increase the likelihood of scoring goals.
But at the same time, it also gives the opponent a chance to breathe, so that the opponent can arrange a more targeted defensive strategy.
Gu Yu still wants to score points quickly.
"Bang bang!"
Dribbling the ball under the crotch, Evans swept his eyes and saw that Cousins was turning under the basket to wipe the reasonable collision area, and his hands were raised just about to pass.
With a "bang", a figure came out of the shadow beside Cousins.
"Hairstyle brother ......!!"
The perfect feint, Cousins' false air catch completely attracted the Warriors' defense, and the player opposite Gu Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and stepped forward to go to Caskinsins' position.
Gu Yu took the opportunity to sneak to the flank.
“…… Sou!! ”
Passing the ball with both hands, Evans made a wonderful pass without looking at people, and the basketball led Gu Yu to continue outward with an advance amount, and the moment he received the ball, he stood just outside the three-point line.
Open your hands and shoot.
The sculptural shooting action was beautiful, and the fans in the audience instantly held their breath and watched the basketball cross a perfect arc and fall fiercely in the direction of the net.
“…… Swish! ”
Critical Blow!
"Whoop——!!!
Pitch, boiling!
