190. The last shot
In the frontcourt, Tkoglu also took the ball from the referee, and then began to pay attention to his teammates' running position on the court.
Facing the Magic's off-ball running, the Rockets pressed the defense this time, after all, the game has reached this stage. If they can defend against this offense, then the initiative will probably come to the Rockets.
With the help of the unball pick-and-roll set up by his teammates for himself, Su Jiu also moved quickly on the court, and his whole expression seemed extremely solemn.
Finally, after using the high pick-and-roll that Howard made for himself, Su Jiu also successfully came out to receive Tkoglu's serve.
After receiving the serve, Su Jiu also slowly dribbled the ball two steps in front of the midfield. While dribbling, he kept looking up at the time above.
It seems that I want to delay time until the last second to execute the last attack of this game.
As Su Jiu successfully caught the serve, the Rockets immediately set up a position for the second and third joint defense.
After all, Adelman has experimented many times in this game, and the defensive effect of the Magic's offensive second and third joint defense is definitely the best.
In addition, Adelman was also afraid that the Magic would eventually use the pick-and-roll to transfer Yao Ming out of the penalty area, thereby completing some impact on the inside.
So for safety reasons, Adelman also let the team set up a position of second and third joint defense.
Seeing the Rockets' defensive position, Su Jiu's eyes did not have much fluctuations at this time, but instead protected the ball steadily, waiting for time to pass by seconds.
Finally, when there were more than seven seconds left on the court, Su Jiu also made a pick-and-roll gesture to Howard. Seeing the signal given by Su Jiu, Howard also came up to make a pick-and-roll for him as soon as possible.
With Howard's pick-and-roll, even though Alstom's defense against Su Jiu had reached an indefinite step at this moment, relying on the change in rhythm on the offensive end, Su Jiu successfully got rid of a little space.
He pushed Alstom slightly with his shoulders, and then Su Jiu directly took one step and pulled it apart with inertia.
The moment she opened up the space, Su Jiu's shot was also very decisive, and he directly made a mid-range step back jump shot!!
After Su Jiu's shot, the entire Toyota Center Arena instantly fell into a quiet state.
Even this quiet state makes people feel a little depressed.
"Take it!! After using Dwight's pick-and-roll, Su also directly completed a step-back move!!"
After shooting this goal, Su Jiu also stared at the basket tightly, and even sweated unconsciously even his palms.
"Swish~"
As the sound of basketball coming into the net sounded, the entire Magic team's bench jumped up instantly, and Su Jiu even opened his arms and ran wildly on the field.
Behind Su Jiu, the others on the field quickly surrounded Su Jiu.
All Magic players were shouting wildly at this moment, and even the sound of the Rockets' pause was quickly drowned out by the excited shouts.
And all the players on the bench flocked to the stadium, and everyone pressed Su Jiu under him for a crazy celebration.
After Su Jiu's mid-range hit with a step back, even head coach Stan Van Gundy raised his arms high and hugged Mondy next to him. That would be as exciting as he would be!!
However, while the Magic players on the entire field celebrated, a sigh came from the entire Toyota Center Arena.
Although there is a hint of celebration mixed in this sigh, it seems so small in the entire Toyota Center Arena.
"The ball is in!!! Su! Su once again completed a quasi-kill mid-range shot in the first 2.6 seconds before the final game!!"
"This is really a big heart-like goal. After using Dwight's pick-and-roll, Su completely used his own rhythm on the offensive end to create more shooting space!!"
"Lav (Alstom) has worked very hard to press the defense for this goal, but Su still made a fatal blow against the defense!!"
Under the excited shouts of live commentator Mark Woodson, Su Jiu was also pressed under his teammates for a big celebration.
It was not until head coach Stan Van Gundy signaled to the players to calm down and said that the game was not over yet, that the players let Su Jiu go and sat on the bench again, waiting for Van Gundy to set up this last defense.
However, judging from the smiles that are overflowing on everyone's face, the Magic Team's generals are extremely excited at this moment.
After getting rid of his teammates, Su Jiu took out his braces excitedly, then gently kissed his right hand when he was shooting just now, and said with a gentle and crying voice:
"Azan, you saw it!! I'll shoot for you this ball!"
"I used the offensive method you were most familiar with to prove to people that you, DeRozan, is definitely not a waste!!"
Su Jiu's eyes were filled with tears at this moment, but after he lifted up the jersey and wiped it slightly, Su Jiu quickly adjusted his condition.
After all, Stan Van Gundy said that the game was far from over before the second hand really returned to zero.
During this suspension, it was definitely very painful for Rockets fans in the entire Toyota Center Arena, because the time left for the Rockets was only 2.6 seconds.
This is a short time when miracles can be possessed, but it is difficult to have miracles.
And with Su Jiu's shot, the score on the court has also arrived:
97:95
So even if the Rockets scored two points after returning from the timeout, the Magic will be invincible and both sides will enter the final overtime.
Once this goal is not scored, it will completely declare the Rockets' defeat in this game, and even become Su Jiu's background board after the accurate finale!!
"Defense, defense!! Don't foul this ball!! While trying to defend closely, you must pay attention to the movements in your hands."
"The Rockets will likely hand over the last shot opportunity to Yao and make a two-pointer inside, so once the Rockets send this ball to Yao, they must go up and double-team him as soon as possible!!"
"Because compared to Yao's attack, the offensive threats of others are obviously much smaller."
"So you must remember!! After returning to the court, we are the two main things we do. First, don't foul it! Second, once the opponent sends the ball to Yao, then you must attack him as soon as possible!!"
"The last 2.6 seconds left in the game! As long as we successfully defend the opponent's last attack, we can take away the game's victory!!"
"Think about how much effort we put into the first 47 minutes of this game, so everyone must cheer up and show their full strength for this last defense!!"
"go!go!go!come 1.2.3,go!!"
Chapter completed!
