160. The decisive moment

With Su Jiu's two free throws, the Magic continued to maintain a weak lead on the field.

And because of Su Jiu's very morale death, he successfully mobilized the fan atmosphere in the entire Orlando Arena, and for a moment, the entire Arena was filled with a noisy sound.

However, in the following minutes, the Trail Blazers also launched a fierce offensive counterattack under the joint efforts of Aldridge and Roy.

Especially Aldridge, after Su Jiu successfully stole the ball, Aldridge has obviously become more cautious on the offensive end.

This also made Su Jiu's idea of ​​assisting defense to have some impact on Aldridge greatly.

During this period, Lewis' shooting percentage began to decline sharply under Ultralo's defense, and due to the exhaustion of physical strength, Lewis was no longer the peak courage of the first three quarters.

The sudden silence of Lewis's point also made the Magic, which was already unstable, struggle even more, which means that the offensive task at this time will completely fall on Su Jiu and Howard.

After all, when the game is in the final stage, it is difficult for you to put this scoring task on Tkoglu, because Tkoglu has never been a player who is good at scoring ability.

Faced with this situation, both Su Jiu and Howard felt huge pressure in every offensive round, which also led to the situation on the court falling into a state of struggle.

As time goes by on the court, with 31 seconds left before the end of the game, the Magic also temporarily:

93:91

The Trail Blazers were two points ahead of the away game, and the ball was on the Trail Blazers' side at this time.

In this case, the Trail Blazers head coach McMillan also called a timeout as soon as possible. It seemed that he wanted to arrange this offense for the team.

After all, when the game reaches this stage, every offensive and defensive game can be said to be able to directly rewrite the final trend of this game.

"Xidu (Tkoglu), you will be off the court in this defensive round, and Tony (Barty) you will be on the court later."

"At this time, we still have a two-point lead. Remember to return to the court for a while, no matter whether the opponent chooses two-point or three-pointer for this goal, don't foul it!"

"Because there are still many left in the game time, the chances of the Trail Blazers choosing two points are higher. Once we foul, the time on the field will not only stop the table but also give the opponent a chance to chase points. This is definitely the worst situation for us."

"And on this critical ball, the Blazers' greatest chance will be between Brandon or Lamarcus (Aldridge) to end."

"So after you return to the court later, Tony, you must pay attention to your hands when defending Lamarcus, and try not to foul the situation when giving him physical confrontation."

"As for Sue, I don't need to say more about your point, after all, you have been playing against Brandon on the court for a long time."

"You just need to remember that every defense will directly affect the final result of the game at the last moment, so we must do our best. Whether it is a loss or a win or a defensive round this time is very critical."

"As for Michael (Petrus), you must follow Rudy closely after playing, and you must not miss the slightest."

"Although the opponent will most likely hand the ball over to Brandon and Lamarcus to the end, no one can tell whether that guy Mike will surprise him. After all, Rudy has the ability to end the attack in the end."

During the suspension period, Stan Van Gundy also used the tactical board to explain the players constantly. While explaining, he did not forget to cheer for the players, so as to emphasize the importance of this game.

Su Jiu could clearly see that Stan Van Gundy, who was holding the tactical board to explain to the players constantly, had already left several beads of sweat visible to the naked eye on his forehead.

This subtle scene can prove that Stan Van Gundy is not much smaller than the players on the court at this time.

After all, the game has reached this stage, and the players on both sides have worked hard all the time, so this last offensive and defensive showdown will probably be under tremendous pressure for both teams.

At this time, the test of the players is no longer as simple as personal abilities.

To some extent, it will directly test the player's psychological endurance on the court.

This is also the main reason why some players are called the Big Heart.

"Du~Du!"

As the referee blew the whistle to continue the game, it meant that the timeout period was completely over.

Although Stan Van Gundy held the tactical board and seemed to have a lot of words to the players one by one, the time was no longer enough for him to say useful or useless nonsense.

So before the players were ready to play, Stan Van Gundy finally emphasized to the players:

"Be careful! Don't foul! Be sure to pay attention!!"

Back on the court, Su Jiu subconsciously swallowed and spitted. He had seen too many broadcasts of big scenes similar to this in the live broadcast of the game in his previous life.

Every final victory can be said to have made the fans feel refreshed and happy.

But at this moment, he really felt that he was standing on the field and facing this critical moment of decisive victory, Su Jiu felt that this pressure was really different from watching the game in front of the TV.

At this moment, Su Jiu had already felt his arms trembling slightly. In addition to the fatigue caused by the muscles being under the weight of the whole period, Su Jiu was also very excited and nervous at this moment, and he could not calm down at all.

The ball started serving in the backcourt, and Roy slowly pushed forward to the frontcourt with the ball. It seemed that he did not intend to grab this last attack, but wanted to play steadily and seek stability.

Facing Brandon Roy holding the ball, Su Jiu pressed his center of gravity very low to be able to cope with any emergencies under any circumstances.

And Su Jiu's expression was very serious and solemn.

With the ball facing Su Jiu, Roy was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he kept looking up at the timer on the basketball rack while ensuring safety, as if he was calculating the final attack time in his mind.

Roy's unhurried look actually caused greater psychological pressure on Su Jiu.
