Chapter 213
At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers led the Nets by 3 points and ended the rest.
From being behind to leading, Xu Xiang has really done a lot. Xu Xiang has scored 30 points at the end of the third quarter. According to this rhythm, Xu Xiang's score in this game will go up to 40+ points.
Coach Nate also saw this scene in his eyes, and he secretly said in his heart:
"It won't be long like this, and George will soon be able to play."
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xu Xiang didn't go up immediately, but waited until the first official timeout. In the first few minutes, both sides didn't feel very good. Johnson also went down to rest, and Deron and George Hill led the team to play respectively.
The timeout ended, and Xu Xiang and Johnson both played again.
The Nets attacked, and Johnson continued to organize from the outside. Lopez on the inside opened his hands for the ball and wanted to single Hibbert, but Johnson didn't notice him.
After the shot, Plumlee gave Johnson a high-five. It was rare to see the Eagle King pass the ball, and it was rare to see Plumlee make a three-pointer, but the wave just now cooperated very well.
Looking back, in the Pacers' offense, Xu Xiang called Hibbert's pick-and-roll inside, but after the pick-and-roll, Xu Xiang didn't make a shot, but cleverly handed the ball to Hibbert, who was running down, and scored a dunk.
Johnson broke through with the ball and wanted to complete the wave of operations just now, but West, who had been prepared for a long time, blocked his position in advance. The ball couldn't pass, and the Eagle King could only play by himself. Xu Xiang's defense was useless to him.
The difficulty of this ball is very high. After all, Hibbert's body is placed there. Johnson could no longer see the basket when he shot it, but he just scored.
The home fans are very excited and cheering for them.
Xu Xiang took the ball to the frontcourt, he was gasping for breath, and the sweat dripped down his head drop by drop. After playing for such a long time and playing with all his strength, he is really tired now.
Coach Hollins was in a hurry and shouted from the sidelines:
"Stick, stick." At this level of the game, he also saw that Xu Xiang's physical strength is exhausted. It is estimated that Xu Xiang's efficiency will be greatly reduced in another 2 minutes, so he wants to consume as much Xu Xiang's physical strength as possible within 2 minutes.
Now the lineup on the field is completely the starting lineup, Jarrett Jack is so obedient, he sticks to Xu Xiang the moment the coach speaks, and does not give him a chance to make a move.
For this kind of "stalking", Xu Xiang has no good solution. He can only call the inside Hibbert's screen pick-and-roll. Solomon Hill and Lavoy Allen are also actively running. George Hill is tightly entangled by Johnson. Fighting, the defense was changed instantly on the field, and Jarrett Jack became in front of Hibbert.
Hibbert is now in a difficult situation when he dribbles the ball, but he is not accurate in the middle distance, so he can only distribute the ball to George Hill on the outside. The ball does not stay.
But Hibbert got the rebound and made a tip-in of his own.
When defending Johnson, Xu Xiang took the initiative to ask George Hill to help defend. Now the opponent is going to fight Xu Xiang, knowing that you are not good at defending, so they come to fight you. Xu Xiang can only be forced to let his teammates come to help defend.
For George Hill who came to double-team to help defend, Eagle King was not afraid at all. After continuous dribbling with left and right hands alternately, the feint moved past the exhausted Xu Xiang, and the center of gravity began to shift. George Hill's speed was okay and he could keep up with his rhythm, but he couldn't judge the moment when he started.
A crossover, directly breaking through from the right. Although George Hill had been defending his right for a long time, he was swayed away at the moment of starting. Only Hibbert was left in front of Johnson. Hibbert rushed forward with his big hands, but Johnson was very flexible.
Under the leadership of DJ, all the fans cheered for this goal. It was like three people scoring this goal in a row, which made people dazzled.
Xu Xiang looked up at the score, 99 to 99, the two sides tied again, and there were only 4 minutes left.
Xu Xiang communicated secretly with Coach Nate on the sidelines, and it was time for the second official timeout soon, and it would take a while anyway.
A draw under the current circumstances is not good news for both sides. There is not much time for the game. If the rhythm of the two sides is maintained at the same level, there is a high possibility of overtime today.
George Hill was a little impatient in handling the ball. He didn't notice Plumlee's running position while passing the ball.
A mistake at this time must be fatal, so Xu Xiang didn't have time to blame anyone for a while, but stepped up his horsepower and retreated to defend, but it was too late. The Eagle King caught the ball and went directly to the basket with a Sam Gould, scoring an easy layup.
The Eagle King, who scored successfully, touched his chest with his teammates. This ball is very important, and the spirits of both sides are tense. Whoever can take the lead will gain a greater advantage in the final battle.
Xu Xiang was panting heavily while holding his knees. The two back and forth runs just now had consumed a lot of his meager physical energy, so he had to seize every moment and take a rest every second.
Dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Xu Xiang slowly observed the situation on the field. The inside Hibbert was asking for the ball, but Xu Xiang didn't give it to him, because Plumlee is also inside now, ready to help Lopez's defense at any time. Hibbert is not easy to play.
Then, you can only fight yourself.
Xu Xiang took a deep breath. The fans at the scene became very noisy after seeing Xu Xiang take the ball. Xu Xiang could only wear the title of "King of Hey" to avoid emotional fluctuations.
The center of gravity moved down, and Xu Xiang began to look for shooting space. Brown was very sticky, but since entering the league, has Xu Xiang encountered such a situation?
Taking a tentative step with his left foot, he quickly retracted it and found a gap on the right side. Xu Xiang made a quick move!
With a bang, the basketball passed through the net and there was a wave of waves, and the ball scored.
