"The last attack, we must press until the last second, and press the whistle to shoot."

What Cheeks said, how could the Philadelphia players not know that now that the two sides are tied, Philadelphia has 12 seconds of offensive time, which is definitely enough time to make more than three tactical combinations, and the key is the choice of shooting timing.

Philadelphia no longer has an ace like Iverson in the team, and it is conceivable that when the basketball is released, whoever has the ball will definitely encounter Denver's tightest defense.

While the initiative is still in its own hands, Philadelphia's challenge is no less than Denver's, and even more complex.

On Denver's side, the way to deal with it is very simple, to keep an eye on your opponent, and not to let anyone have a chance to make an easy move, interfering with every movement, pass, and throw, in short, two words, stick to it.

And what about Philadelphia? 12 seconds, there are too many routines to choose from, if the first time can't be cooperated, there can be a second and third time, but will this make the players think too much and fail to grasp the fleeting small opportunity?

Looking at the tired faces of the lovers, Cheeks knew very well that if this shot did not go in and went into overtime, Philadelphia's chances of winning would be very low.

Whether it is personnel reserves, firepower thickness, or physical strength, Philadelphia, which almost relies on the starting five and Carney six to fight the world, is much more expensive than Denver in terms of consumption.

Overtime is unacceptable, and being counter-lore is naturally even more unacceptable, and there is only one choice.

That is to press the whistle and shoot and directly complete the lore.

Who is this task to be entrusted to?

Korver's explosive hand will definitely become the focus of Denver's defense, Miller has just completed a super difficult goal, and Denver will no longer let him and Iverson go one-on-one. Iguodala still has a big flaw in his mid-range shooting, and even if he has a killer heart, it is difficult to take on such a heavy responsibility for the time being.

Choose. It seems that only Carney and Chen Mu are left.

"Chen is the first choice, Rodney has to find a way to make a fuss around Chen, and if Chen is blocked, he is ready to catch the ball and shoot directly."

Cheeks gave the final set-up, and this tactical choice was not difficult, and I believe that Denver's Karl must have thought of it. Chen Mu does not have the ability to hold the ball and dribble for a long time, so how to hand the ball into Chen Mu's hands at the right time is the key.

How will Karl respond defensively?

Cheeks racked his brains and couldn't understand the coach's thoughts, so he could only take one step at a time, relying on the players to improvise.

this game. Chen Mu's hand has not been very good, coming and going, except for a few beautiful singles when facing Evans, there is never a good way to face Martin. But at the moment, Philadelphia has no choice but to believe in the Chinese kid, and continue to turn things around and create miracles.

"Alright, it's time."

The referee prepares to blow the whistle and the timeout is about to end. Cheeks stood up, clapped his hands and said, "After serving, Miller controls the ball and controls the time, Andre is ready to respond, and Kyle tries to open up the inside space as much as possible." Chen was ready to catch the ball in the final moments, and Rodney was a backup option and couldn't relax. ”

“1、2、3、BUZZERBEATER！”

The Philadelphia players shouted in unison, moving their bodies that were slightly tense from nervousness. Step onto the pitch.

"Gotta win......!"

Cheeks prayed behind the generals in the hope that a miracle would happen.

The referee's whistle blows, serves.

Chen Mu receives the ball outside the touchline. Martin couldn't stop jumping in front of him to block his view, and the Philadelphia players ran a starburst strategy, and after a few runs, Miller made it to the sideline with Iguodala covering.

Sending a pass, Miller didn't dribble immediately after receiving the ball, and only began to dribble slowly after his teammates were in position and the Denver defense was formed.

Iverson's center of gravity is extremely low, and he is well aware that Miller does not have three-point range, and as long as Miller does not make a smooth single in the low post, his personal offensive threat will be greatly reduced.

Korver was really pestered by Anthony, Carney also had no chance under JR's marking, Iguodala was still half a position empty, and Denver's defense was extremely targeted.

Chen Mu has come to the basket and covered Carney and Iguodala several times in a row, both sides know that this is just a trick, and the focus of the attack must be on the Chinese kid.

Philadelphia has broken down what the superstars of other teams have done by themselves, and the only way to do this is to pray that nothing goes wrong in all aspects of the game, and at least complete the offense.

As for whether or not you can score? I'm afraid only God can know the answer.

After another cover, Carney and Iguodala switched positions, and Chen Mu quickly lifted up to make a block for Miller.

"No more hand-to-hand handovers!"

Iverson knew very well in his heart that Chen Mu's position almost reached the three-point line, which was beyond the range of Chen Mu's conventional attack, if he passed the ball with his hands at this time, Chen Mu had no way to dribble and advance under Martin's interference, so Philadelphia must be using the success of the last attack as an illusion to confuse himself.

Iverson was not fooled, Martin was not fooled, after Miller rushed out from the other side, the basketball was still in his hands, Chen Mu ran to the basket, Martin blocked the route fiercely, and Miller had no passing space.

5 seconds.

Chen Mu and Miller were blocked on both sides, and because of this blocking, the two were instead divided into two sides of the court, and between them were Iverson and Martin's steal net, and it was very difficult to pass the ball.

4 seconds.

Iguodala, who had just come to the strong side, stepped forward to meet and quickly returned to the top of the arc after taking the ball.

3 seconds.

Chen Mu reluctantly chose to lean on his back, Iguodala sent a pass, and Chen Mu's position was still half a step away from the three-second zone.

2 seconds.

Chen Mu received the ball, Martin's defense was not flawed, Chen Mu turned around to face the basket with difficulty, and Martin's arms interfered in front of him.

1 second.

On Chen Mu's side, Carney did not go far according to the instructions, but JR also seemed to see through Philadelphia's routine, and just stood on the passing route, and Carney could not receive the ball.

Chen Mu began to make a move.

Seeing Chen Mu's movements, Martin jumped without hesitation and pounced forward. He knew that all of Philadelphia's routines had been thoroughly seen through by coach Karl, and there was not a single flaw in their defense. The Chinese kid is a desperate shot, as long as the slightest interference, the Chinese kid, who is not good at strong throwing, will definitely not be able to score.

The fans in the stadium all held their breath, and at this moment, the numbers on the scoreboard seemed to be beating slowly, and a second was so long that some fans couldn't help but reach out and cover their eyes.

Just when Martin was about to fly to the highest point, just when Cheeks' inner defense was about to collapse, just when despair appeared in the eyes of Miller and others. Just when Iverson and Anthony were mentally ready to go into overtime, Karl leaned back in his chair a little proudly, feeling that everything was under control.

Something unexpected happened to everyone in the audience.

Lifting the ball, Martin took off, and then Chen Mu made the most risky choice of his career so far.

He took the ball.

"1 second to fake a move!"

At the moment when this thought rushed into Martin's mind, there was no trace of panic in Chen Mu's eyes. It's not that he thinks he can accomplish the idea that pops up in his mind, but he knows that at this moment, he is flustered. There is no use for it anymore.

The remaining time on the scoreboard was too late to even blink an eye, Chen Mu's body had leaned forward slightly at the moment of receiving the ball, and the basketball received half of it, and then quickly rose. The shooter slammed into Martin's shrouded arm and threw the basketball indiscriminately.

No...... No way?!!

Martin didn't think at all, Chinese kid. would choose to make a foul at such a time.

The referee won't blow it!

Judging from my own feelings, this defense is definitely a foul, but at this kind of lore moment, most referees will not blow the whistle, right? ?

In fact, the thoughts in Martin's mind at this time were not so complicated and specific as described in words, and for a moment, only fragments of thought such as "making fouls", "blowing penalties", and "lore" flew in Martin's mind.

"Beep!"

The sound of the end of time and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time, Chen Mu fell to the ground, Martin turned around, the basketball did not touch the basket at all, and everyone was stunned.

"Nuggets No. 6, defensive foul, 76ers No. 5 free throws twice!"

The referee's decision was shouted, and even the Philadelphia fans forgot to cheer and stared blankly at the situation on the field.

Two seconds later, everyone's breath returned.

"Whoa!!!

Crazy shouts, endless catharsis of emotions, everyone, players, fans, coaches, staff, got up from their seats.

Naturally, the Philadelphia fans and players were cheering wildly.

Denver's players and coaching staff protested loudly to the referees.

In order to determine Chen Mu's shooting time and whether there is any game time left, the referees came to the technical station to watch the replay. On the big screen in the center of the arena, a slow-motion footage of the final moments is played.

Chen Mu faked his move, Martin took off, Chen Mu made a quick shot after half collecting the ball, Martin fouled his hand, the basketball flew out, and the time was up.

There is no doubt about it.

On the Denver bench, everyone lowered their heads, and on the court, the Denver main players couldn't accept this fact at all, everyone was at a loss, and they didn't know what to do.

"Ultimatum!"

Attracted by the wonderful game at the last moment, and Barkley, who rarely spoke, also had an incredible look on his face, looked at Chen Mu's back, and muttered: "This is the Chinese kid, an ultimatum to the Denver Nuggets......!" ”

It's not time to celebrate.

Iguodala naturally rushed forward to beat his chest with Chen Mu to celebrate, and the Philadelphia players also kept cheering, but Chen Mu knew that it was not time to celebrate.

After watching the video replay, the referee confirmed that when Chen Mu made a shot, there were 0.3 seconds left in the time, and he returned to the table and made a free throw.

There was silence.

The first free throw was hit, and the cheers erupted instantly, and after a few seconds, it fell silent again.

In the second free throw, Chen Mu aimed directly at the back of the basket. (To be continued......)
