Kings coach Walton called a timeout.
There are 10 seconds left and 10 points behind.
But coach Walton did not take off the main players.
Instead, they are still carefully arranging tactics.
He quickly drew a tactic on the tactical board: "Bagley serves. Hield and Danny, you two provide Wang Yi with a cover and let Wang Yi go to the inside. After Wang Yi got to the inside, he immediately ran back to the line.
Holmes mentioned being on the line, and when Wang Yi ran over, he and Danny were here to double-cover Wang Yi, giving him a chance to catch the ball. As long as Wang caught the ball, he immediately took action."
"Once the ball hits the Lakers' serve, we first do a press."
"It's best to grab the ball within 2 to 3 seconds. If you can't grab the ball, don't hesitate and foul immediately. No matter who gets the ball, they foul immediately. Do you understand?"
The players nodded.
For the Lakers, Vogel has already replaced James.
Now the Lakers have a 10-point lead with only 10 seconds left.
The Kings have no hope left.
James is too old, and every second he can rest is worth a second.
But Vogel is still quite cautious.
He kept the Lakers' defensive center with thick eyebrows on the court to prevent the Kings from attacking the inside.
When the timeout came back and players from both sides came on the court, Vogel frowned slightly.
What's going on?
The Kings still haven’t removed their main players?
Do they really think there is a chance?
In the commentary box, O'Neal was also surprised: "Why hasn't Walton replaced the main force yet?"
Wade puffed his cheeks: "I don't know what Walton is thinking. Although the NBA is the place where miracles are born, if you want to chase 10 points in 10 seconds, I have to say, what a miracle it takes."
The implication is that there are no miracles.
O'Neal turned to Reggie Miller and asked: "Once you scored 8 points in a row in 8.9 seconds, creating a Miller moment that shocked the world. Do you think it is possible for Wang Yi to score 10 points in a row in 10 seconds? After all,
He has also created moments of kingship that shocked the world."
Reggie Miller smiled and shook his head: "How lucky is that? At that time, we were only 6 points behind our opponents, with 18.7 seconds left. Now the Kings are 10 points behind, with only 10 seconds left, within 10 seconds
Chasing 10 points in a row, and you also have to consider that after you score, when the Lakers get the ball, you have to foul, and when you foul, the Lakers have to make two free throws."
"So I'm afraid this is not just chasing 10 points, but chasing 14 points or even 16 points."
"So even if Miller reappears, he still won't be able to catch up."
O'Neill nodded with deep understanding.
"Since they can't catch up, why do the Kings send all their main players? It's clear that there is no hope in these 10 seconds. If one of the main players is unfortunately injured, it is not cost-effective. In the NBA, it is so
There are many examples.”
Not only them, but almost everyone in the world who saw this game couldn't understand why the Kings coach didn't replace all the main players.
But only Barnes at Sacramento Central Hospital understood that this was all for his brother, Chris Barnes.
The five main players of the Kings are all on the court at this time, just to tell Chris Barnes that he will never give up until the last second.
Five members of the Kings team came to the court and formed a circle.
The fists of the five people were raised high and bumped together.
The five people roared at the same time:
"Don't abandon, don't give up——"
When the fight reaches this level, winning or losing is no longer important to them.
They just want to send a message to Chris Barnes: Never give up until the last second!
This move by the Kings surprised everyone who saw this scene.
All the Lakers players couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the Kings players.
After fighting for so long, their morale is still so high?
At this time Bagley went to serve the sideline ball.
According to the Kings head coach, the Kings players are moving quickly.
James on the sidelines frowned slightly as he recognized the Kings' tactic.
By Game 5, he could see through almost all of the Kings' tactics.
But now Holmes actually mentioned going online.
The inside line was empty, and Wang Yi ran to the inside line.
The Kings have never used this tactic before.
In fact, the Kings have never used this tactic before, it was just an impromptu tactic.
Walton's ability to adapt to situations has always been criticized.
But after this game, he seemed to have figured it out.
When all the Lakers players thought that Wang Yi was going to run inside to make an alley-oop, Wang Yi suddenly ran back to the line. Under the double cover of Holmes and Danny, he finally got rid of the defense and received the ball.
After catching the ball, his feet were not planted at all.
Instead, the toes of both feet hit the ground, and then bounced up instantly.
Anthony followed closely behind.
He pounced sideways in front of Wang Yi.
Since Wang Yi's jump was not sufficient, the height was limited.
If he takes action, he will definitely be blocked by Anthony.
Wang Yi paused in the air for a few tenths of a second, waiting for Anthony's arm to pass in front of him, before shaking his wrist and taking action.
Basketball is like the sun rising from the east, reaching the highest point in the sky, and then setting in a parabola from the west.
Finally fell into the basket.
Whoosh!
The score difference is 7 points!
This shot only took 2.1 seconds.
And most of that time is when the basketball is gliding through the air.
However, this goal did not cause any waves at the scene.
7.9 seconds, still 7 points away, which still requires a miracle.
And at this time, the Lakers still have the ball.
After the Kings scored, no one celebrated.
All five players immediately started pressing.
The Lakers players knew that the Kings players were bound to foul, and they had to get the ball to a reliable person.
So they served the ball towards thick eyebrows.
Thick eyebrows' free throws are still trustworthy.
However, Wang Yi has long understood this.
When the Lakers were about to serve, he had already given up on Tucker's defense and intercepted Tucker directly in front of the thick eyebrows.
The whole person jumped high in the air and pounced on the basketball like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.
But after he pounced on the ball, he was about to fly out of the sideline.
He threw the ball backward from behind his shoulder according to the position of his teammates in his memory.
The ball fell into Danny's hands impartially.
Rookie Danny caught the ball.
When the Kings fans saw that it was Danny who caught the ball, their hearts suddenly went cold.
He went 0-for-3 from three-point range.
However, at this time, Danny's eyes were extremely firm.
Although he is usually very shy in life, he is even a little shy.
But once he got on the court, this guy's temperament completely changed, as if he was a different person.
Even though he made 0 of 3 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, even at such a critical moment, he still didn't hesitate after receiving the ball.
Pull it up and take a three-point shot.
Whoosh!
Hollow hit!
Time: Last 5.7 seconds.
Point difference: 4 points.
When the Kings fans saw this, they immediately became excited.
They wrongly blamed Danny.
As soon as the goal was scored, the fans at the scene suddenly became nervous.
Coach Vogel was also a little nervous.
Although they only led by 4 points with 5.7 seconds left, the Lakers still had the ball and their chances of winning were very high.
But don't forget, the Kings have that guy.
He had had that guy under his command for nearly a year, and he clearly knew how perverted that guy was.
Not only is it perverted, but it's also like cheating.
What a pervert!
So he immediately requested a timeout.
Chapter completed!
