Chapter 256 Howard's dream chapter hits a key 3-pointer at the peak!
Chapter 256 Howard dreams of returning to the top and hits a key three-pointer!
1 minute and 20 seconds!Although the time is short, it is not without the possibility of a comeback.
Cole also became a lot nervous, and rearranged the tactics of delaying time.
9 points, it will take at least three rounds to recover the score.
As long as they run out of minutes on every attack, the Lakers have no hope of winning at all.
Lakers bench.
Kobe has already stood up: "Guys! The game is not over yet, but there is not much time left for us! I believe tonight is not the end of our season! We can go further! Everyone bring out the strongest strength of your life! Let's go to the death-defying Warriors! Let them know what the real Lakers are! Go lakers!"
More than a dozen Lakers players were infected by Kobe's words. The players put their hands on the backs of their hands and shouted neatly: "go lakers!"
hum...
The timeout ended and the Lakers' five starters returned to the court.
In this critical period of time, the Warriors debuted the dead five.
The Warriors served the ball from the bottom corner, and before the ball passed halftime, Lin Tian had already pressed for it.
Under Lin Tian's extremely strong defense, Curry passed the ball to Chasing Dream Green early.
It is Howard who defends the Lakers from Dreaming Green.
Seeing that Lin Tian hadn't come yet, Green saw Howard was standing in front of him again, and he killed him without saying a word.
Howard's movement speed is indeed not as fast as Green's, but he also followed Green, chasing all the way from the outside to the inside.
When he came to the inside, Green thought he had thrown off Howard, and jumped directly to make a simple layup.
As long as this attack is successful, it is basically equivalent to killing the game!
But he miscalculated!
Howard in this round showed the most active defensive attitude in his life!
When Green dropped the ball, Howard seemed to be Superman, jumped high behind him, and slapped the ball.
boom!
The ball was caught by Howard, hit the backboard, and bounced out again.
Whoa!
There were screams in the arena.
Even O'Neill, who has always disliked Howard, was shocked and shouted: "Oh my God! Nailboard chasing caps! The most beautiful block tonight!"
After the basketball bounced off the backboard, it was successfully picked up by Nick Young from the outside.
Nick Yang has become not sticky to the ball at all now, and he passes the ball decisively to Lin Tian.
An almost certain chance to score was blocked like this, and Chasing Dream Green couldn't help shaking his head.
He never dreamed that Howard, whose state had declined so badly this season, would be so fast in this round.
Steve Kerr on the Warriors' bench couldn't help but knocked himself on the head.
It takes less than 10 seconds for the ball to transition from tee to ball.
The tactic he arranged was to use up the attack time, but the players did not strictly implement his tactic...
Lin Tian dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, with 1 minute and 04 seconds left in the game.
At this time, Howard suddenly came out from the inside, leaving room for Lin Tian.
Green, who was in charge of defending Howard on the Warriors side, let Howard go directly and concentrated on double-teaming Lin Tian.
Lin Tian didn't dare to delay even a second, he held the ball against Iguodala and Green and went straight to the inside.
Halfway through the rush, even Thompson ran over to defend.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for him to complete the shot normally.
Lin Tian's sight of passing the ball was almost blocked!Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Howard who was preparing to catch the ball.
In almost an instant, Lin Tian had already made a decision.
He found an opportunity to pass the ball in the cracks and passed the ball to Howard at the top of the arc.
Howard has no defenders within two meters!Green, Thompson and others didn't care about Howard, and they didn't even plan to defend.
They didn't believe Howard dared to shoot, because Howard hadn't scored a three-pointer in the playoffs this season.
The last time Howard scored a three-pointer was in the garbage time of the regular season.
At such a critical moment, Howard's eyes did show hesitation.
This brief hesitation made him lose a good opportunity to pass the ball to Kobe.
Lin Tian shouted: "Dwight! Vote!"
This direct shout made Howard wake up instantly. He took a deep breath, aimed at the basket, jumped up slightly, and threw the ball in his hand, just like he practiced shooting three-pointers every morning.
For Howard's three-pointer, Lin Tian didn't have much confidence.
Therefore, when the opponent made a three-pointer, Lin Tian was already predicting where the ball would land and was ready to grab a rebound.
Swish!
Surprisingly, this three-pointer was actually made by Howard, and it was a handsome hollow three-pointer!
Whoa!
Thunderous applause broke out again at the scene, and countless fans stood up and applauded.
With Howard's key three-pointer, the point difference between the two sides was abruptly reduced to 6 points!
And the game time, there are 53 seconds!
Cole gritted his teeth and called a short timeout again. When the Warriors players came to the bench, he rarely became angry: "Don't you understand what I said? We lead by so many points! Why are you in such a hurry to play fast breaks? The Lakers should be in a hurry! And! How many times have I told you! Don't let anyone shoot a three-pointer undisturbed! Damn! It sucks..."
And the commentary seat here.
O'Neal's eyes widened: "Howard scored a three-pointer for the first time in the playoffs this season! My God! This guy's three-pointer is more accurate than his free throw!"
These words made the audience burst into laughter.
Lin Tian walked up to Howard at this time, and slammed Howard's chest hard. Kobe also touched Howard's head: "Nice job!"
Howard grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "This is why I practice three-pointers every day from morning to night! Do you know? I have been waiting for this moment for too long! These guys dare to let me go, do you really think I have no three-point ability? They are wrong! Big mistake! I want to prove to everyone that Lin, Kobe, you invited me to join the Lakers, it is a correct choice!"
Lin Tian kept nodding his head. In the defense and attack just now, Howard showed the strength of his peak period.
But he still patted Howard on the shoulder: "Dwight! Now is not the time to be happy! Next we need your defense!"
Howard showed off his biceps: "Leave the inside to me! Next, I won't let those shorties get even one point in my no-fly zone!"
"It's enough to have your words! I will try my best to lock the outside line." Lin Tian nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the timeout was over.
The momentum of the ten players on both sides was completely different at this time.
The Warriors serve and the timer starts rolling.
