Chapter 286 Fighting Overtime!
Big ball games like basketball and football basically have overtime. Football usually lasts 30 minutes, divided into 15 minutes for the first half and 15 minutes for the second half.
Obviously, basketball can't last that long. The overtime of basketball is 5 minutes, regardless of whether the game is on or off.
If the winner cannot be decided within 5 minutes, then another 5 minutes will continue until the winner is decided!
And if the football has not been played after overtime, it will enter a very cruel "penalty shootout"!
This is the Pacers' second overtime game since the start of the season!
Although it was expected that this game would be difficult in advance, it was unexpected that it would go into overtime!
Coach Nate on the sidelines is nervously deploying overtime tactics!
"Piaojiao, as soon as Curry gets the ball, we will switch defenses. Lu Wei will go off and replace Jokic. Jokic will play the 3rd position to replace the pickled pepper. Xu Xiang will play the 1st position and pickle the [-]nd position!"
Coach Nate boldly changed to a new tactic, moving Jokic to the 3rd position, so that Pickle can be pulled to the outside to switch defenses with Xu Xiang and defend Curry!
This is a bold attempt!
"Jokic's task is also very important. Once the defense changes, you must always pay attention to Klay's position and pay attention to assisting defense at all times!"
Coach Neta's tactics are very simple, which is to lock you Curry and Klay, and he doesn't care about the others, you love to shoot.
Jokic next to him looked excited. At this critical moment, the coach can send him on the field, which fully demonstrates Coach Nate's trust in him.
The attention of this game is so high, if they perform well, it will definitely skyrocket!
At the beginning of the game, Kerr of the Warriors also readjusted the lineup, replacing Iguodala and Livingston, but it was a pity that Green was not there, and the "Five of Death" lineup fell short.
The two sides re-jumped the ball, and Hibbert won this time, successfully dialing the ball back to the Pacers' backcourt.
It can be seen that Bogut is a little immobile.
Green's absence today has caused him to take over a lot of jobs that originally belonged to Green. Coupled with his age problem, he is a bit immobile now.
But seeing how the Warriors quickly returned to defense, they should have guessed this result long ago!
Overtime games often test players not their skills, but their hearts.
Whoever has a strong heart wins!
Xu Xiang dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, and Klay and Iguodala quickly flanked him, forming a wave of 3 and 1 on the field!
It seems that the coaches on both sides wanted to go together, and they adopted a flanking style of play at the last moment.
Xu Xiang is a bit strong, and the three of them flanked each other, even if he was Kobe, he still had to pass the ball this time!
With the help of Jokic's cover, Paojiao got the ball, Xu Xiang let out a long breath, and when he was about to run, Curry and Clay surrounded him again!
Xu Xiang: "."
What kind of tactic is this?I don't have a ball in my hand!
Xu Xiang was puzzled!
"Can you give me a break?"
Xu Xiang tried to communicate with him.
The Splash Brothers looked at each other, then shook their heads firmly at the same time:
"cannot!"
Cole said when he was on the court, no matter whether Xu Xiang wants it or not, at least two people must be there to guard at any time!
Xu Xiang: "."
Your mother exploded!
Pickled Pepper catches the ball and throws it, but he is not very lucky. With a bang, he misses the goal!
Cole watched this scene with relief. Although the Pacers are known as "dual-core", when it comes to shooting percentage and scoring ability, it still depends on Xu Xiang.
Pickle also put part of his energy on defense, locking Xu Xiang is the core point of his tactics!
The rebound was protected by Bogut, and Curry advanced with the ball. As soon as they passed the frontcourt, Xu Xiang and Paojiao took the initiative to switch defenses. At the same time, Jokic also quietly surrounded him, ready to pinch Clay at any time!
It is not easy for Curry to play Pickle one-on-one. Pickle can keep the center of gravity very low, and his "big defense against small" is also a unique skill.
Curry has been unable to find space to break through or shoot.
Iguodala has rich experience. He discovered Curry's problem at the first time, and quickly pulled him out to help Curry make a cover. Pickled Pepper was very fast around the pick-and-roll.
There is no other way but to force it!
Swish!
Got it!
The basketball fell into the basket like a missile equipped with a positioning system!The Warriors took the lead first!
The fans in the audience burst into disappointment!
This can enter, there is really no one!
Xu Xiang organizes from outside the three-point line, suddenly points to Jokic, Jokic does not move his pivot, turns back and forth, avoids Iguodala's steal, goes straight to the basket, Xu Xiang catches the ball and makes a layup!
The Warriors attacked, Curry and Clay cooperated in a wave, the two passed each other, broke through for a layup and hit again!
In the Pacers' offense, Xu Xiang held the ball and faced the pincer attack of three people. He successfully passed the ball out. Pickled Pepper caught the ball and didn't shoot it. Instead, he gave it to Jokic and made a two-pointer!
The Pacers are still one point behind!
The feel looked good, so no timeout was called on either side.
The Warriors Iguodala handed it to Livingston and made a mid-range hit!
Iguodala's experience is too rich, and his golf quotient is very high!
Pickled pepper finally threw in a three-pointer with the help of a screen!
The two sides are tied again!
"There won't be a second overtime, right?" Teacher Wang said in surprise, smacking his lips.
Director Yang nodded slowly:
"Judging from this posture, it's really possible!"
Back on the court, the situation on both sides is very "stiff". This does not mean that both sides are very strong, but that both sides are very accurate!
No one can occupy an absolute advantage.
The coaches on both sides did not dare to call a timeout easily. If the timeout is called, if the players on their side lose their touch, the loss outweighs the gain!
The Warriors' offense, Iguodala and Livingston double-screened the pick-and-roll, gave Curry a chance, and Curry took the ball and shot!
Hand up and down!
Three points hit again!
Xu Xiang gasped for breath. There was not much time left. His defense was really desperate in the past few minutes. Clay basically had no chance to make a shot, and the physical fitness of both sides dropped very badly!
After dribbling the ball to the front court, Xu Xiang didn't bother to make any moves. The three of them pinched and could only pass the ball. Pickle received the ball and stabilized it, aimed at the basket, and shot a three-pointer!
It's a pity that when the ball was shot again, it was disturbed by Iguodala who was flying over, and the arc was deflected, and the ball missed!
Paojiao didn't care about falling to the ground, and quickly got up to find the referee, indicating that Iguodala had fouled just now, but the referee was unmoved at all, and signaled that Paojiao should hurry up and continue the game, otherwise it would be a T!
With 30 seconds left in the clock, the Warriors started pressing the clock!
Curry dribbled the ball unhurriedly on the outside, and didn't start until there were 8 seconds left in the attack time!
But his breakthrough was blocked by pickled peppers, and he could only pass the ball to Klay at the last moment. In a hurry, Klay could only barely make a shot!
but--
"boom!"
Swish!
The ball is in!
Incredible goal!
After Clay made the shot, his body immediately found his balance and fell to the ground. Xu Xiang can guarantee that he basically didn't even see where the basket was for the last ball, but it just went in!
7 points behind in 6 seconds!
Basically lost!
The fans at home are very unhappy, the game has reached such a level, who doesn't want to win?
But with Clay's fairy ball, the Pacers are hopeless!
In 7 seconds, Xu Xiang tried to miss a three-pointer, but Hibbert made a tip-up and fell behind by 4 points!
"beep!"
As the last second passed, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!
The Warriors defeated the Pacers 142 to 138 in the away game, won the victory, and also won their No.20 three-game winning streak of the season!
And the Pacers can only sadly accept that their [-]-game winning streak has come to an end!Failed to win twenty consecutive victories!
After the game, Xu Xiang and Curry hugged each other and exchanged jerseys. Curry comforted Xu Xiang a few words. On the court, they are opponents, but off the court they are friends.
