Chapter 540                                                             

This time during the timeout, the Lakers did not play "victory" again.

Because after the Kings' two consecutive three-pointers just now, the DJ on the scene thought it would be better to be more cautious.

Otherwise, "Victory" had been played before, but in the end, it would be a big laughing stock for the Lakers.

However, the time was only 5.7 seconds, and the Lakers were still 4 points ahead and had the ball, so they were basically stable.

Lakers coach Vogel said to James next to him: "LBJ, you have to play."

In fact, he didn't need to say anything at all, James had already stood up.

In the last 5.7 seconds, no more mistakes are allowed.

Vogel drew a relatively simple serve-receiving tactic, which was to send the ball to Thick Brow.

On the Kings side, coach Walton said: "They will definitely find a way to send the ball to AD, so the focus of our defense is AD. We can empty LeBron James, and we have to force them to send the ball to LeBron James."

Everyone knows that James' free throws are not that accurate.

Until now, James' free throw shooting percentage has only 68.1%.

This is obviously unqualified.

After the timeout, the Lakers served the sideline ball.

As expected, the Kings players focused on Thick Brows according to the coach's arrangement.

Holmes and Bagley went to guard against thick eyebrows.

Just emptied James.

Wang Yi was staring at the Lakers' second-highest free throw Houghton Tucker.

In this way, the Lakers could not send the ball, and finally, when 5 seconds were about to arrive, they could only send the ball to James.

Just the moment James received the ball, Hilder was already holding him with both hands.

The referee was also very sensible and blew the whistle immediately.

Time only passed 0.2 seconds.

James was speechless.

Actually, he doesn't want to catch the ball.

Coach Vogel on the sidelines also scratched his head.

It is really not a wise choice to get James to play at this time.

But what should I do if I don't let him play?

Could it be that at such a critical moment, would you put such a superstar on the bench?

In that case, I will not be scolded to death after the game.

James is not Howard, he can't just press it on the bench at will.

When James was free throws, the MVP sounded on the spot.

Wang Yi stood on the penalty area line on the left side of the free throw line. When James slowly slapped the ball, he said a trash talk to James with a bright smile on his face.

"Brother, you'd better get both free throws. Otherwise, you know what I'll do."

James couldn't help but feel a little ups and downs in his heart.

Of course he knew what Wang Yi could do.

When he was with the Lakers, Wang Yi had done this guy more than once.

But he replied: "Don't worry, you have no chance to do it."

As he said that, he took a deep breath and shot the free throw.

Bang—

The basketball bounced heavily on the basket and jumped away.

"oh--"

The fans' screams suddenly sounded at the scene.

Everyone knows that James' free throw is not very accurate, and one of two free throws is just a routine operation.

In fact, James was indeed affected by Wang Yi's words just now.

It's not that he was scared by Wang Yi.

But after hearing Wang Yi's words, he held his breath.

Do you want to affect my free throw?

Then I'd like to punish you for showing it.

However, free throws mainly depend on psychology.

As long as the psychology is fluctuating, the hand shape will change during free throws.

Wang Yi shrugged at this time and smiled at James.

"It seems you have to give me a chance. If there is no such thing as you give me, I can't refuse what you give me."

James shook his head and took another deep breath.

Free throw hit.

Extend the lead to 5 points.

The hearts hanging by Lakers fans were immediately let go of half.

The Kings requested another timeout.

This is also the last timeout for the Kings.

During the timeout, they still drew a tactic to get Wang Yi to catch the ball.

Vogel, who was on the Lakers' face, said to all the players:

"You must not let Wang Yi catch the ball. You can give the ball to others and let them catch the ball, but you must not let Wang Yi catch the ball. You can double-team him before he catches the ball. When he gets the ball, he can double-team three or even four."

Everyone knows that there are only 5.5 seconds left, and the Kings must shoot three points.

Vogel's choice is: others can shoot three-pointers, but Wang Yi cannot. Not only can you not shoot, but you can't connect the ball.

Come back on timeout and serve again.

Although Walton drew a temporary three-pointer tactic for Wang Yi to catch the ball.

But the Lakers were determined not to let Wang Yi catch the ball, and Horton Tucker and Davis stared at Wang Yi all the time.

Even though Wang Yi had no ball in his hand, they were both left and right, making Wang Yi go left and right, and two men were in the right direction.

The Kings saw that the ball could not be sent out, so they could only send it to the unmarked Holmes.

Holmes was at the bottom line on the right at this time, and he was originally just a bait here.

It's not here to catch the ball at all.

But the Lakers were staring at others and directly let Holmes go.

So he can only catch the ball.

Since entering the playoffs, his three-point shooting percentage has been only 29%.

Letting him go is the most reasonable choice for the Lakers.

Therefore, no one could tempt him as a bait.

When Holmes received the ball, he was also helpless.

He felt the same as James just now.

I'm damn!

Why did I get the ball?

I don't want to.

But I didn't want to answer, so I could only bite the bullet.

He hesitated for a moment and wanted to hit the basket and dunk.

But at this time, there is still someone defending at the basket.

He wanted to pass the ball, but in a short time, the other four players of the Kings had been detained and had no chance at all.

He gritted his teeth, moved two steps back, and stepped outside the three-point line.

Direct three-pointer.

Anyway, I don’t have time to hesitate anymore.

If you hesitate, the Kings will have no chance at all.
