Chapter 263 Super long three-pointer at the halftime buzzer! (Happy New Year!)
As soon as Bill opened the outside line, the offensive rhythm of the Wizards instantly came to life. The Pacers did not dare to let people outside, and they had to guard against the opponent's breakthrough inside. After all, the real boss of the Wizards is Wall.
Xu Xiang felt extremely bad in this game. He made zero three-pointers in the opening game, scored 2 points with free throws, and didn't have any mid-range shots.
Pickled peppers don't feel very good, and the Pacers' offensive rhythm has been slow to start.
In the second quarter, relying on the efforts of the bench, the point difference was finally stabilized, and 5 points was not too much.
In the second half of the second quarter, Xu Xiang went into battle again to find the touch.
As soon as he came up, he received a wonderful pass from Jokic. Xu Xiang hesitated for a moment, and shot instantly!
There was only a swish, white waves appeared on the net, and the ball went in!
Xu Xiang clenched his fist secretly, and finally found the feel.
Seeing that the situation on the other side was not good, he quickly called a timeout, wanting to stop Xu Xiang's rhythm, and also wanted to replace Bill. Bill scored 4 three-pointers in three quarters in the first quarter!
The Wizards' offense directly found Bill who was outside the three-point line. Xu Xiang opened his hands wide and shifted his center of gravity downward, trying to block it, but Bill was very smart. He swayed away first and made a fake move to attract Xu Xiang's attention. The moment he found the gap, he rushed over and made a layup!
Bill's touch is so explosive today!
Looking back, with the Pacers' offense and Jokic's high-level outside organization, Xu Xiang tried to cooperate with him in passing and cutting, but after seeing Bill's strict defense, he still gave up this idea.
He directly pulled back to the bottom line, and Jokic flew into his hands in an instant. Xu Xiang singled Bill and took off forcibly!
With a bang, a three-pointer was hit!
Your hand feels good, but mine is back too.
Xu Xiang flicked his overstretched arm. It seems that Coach Nate did the right thing. The feel is just what he was looking for.
Two commentators on ESPN said:
"Xu found his touch! Two consecutive three-pointers."
"This situation is not very favorable for the Wizards. The Pacers are about to start their counterattack rhythm."
"Is it really necessary to win fourteen consecutive victories?"
On the court, the Wizards failed to attack, and the rebound was taken by Lu Wei, who went down.
Lu Wei directly pushed forward with the ball. After halftime, the ball was handed over to Xu Xiang. Xu Xiang didn't stick to the ball too much, but gave it to Jokic after the screen. Jokic made a mid-range shot and hit the board with a bang!
Jokic has mid-range ability and is very accurate. When he was in the later Nuggets, his shooting percentage could reach more than 50%.
In the last attack of the Wizards, Wall was replaced to organize the last attack.
It was given to Bill in the bottom corner, but Bill didn't make a shot. Jokic quickly posted it to Nene, who was assigned to the inside line.
Even though Lu Wei had a 12-point mentality, he still couldn't guard against it, and the opposite side passed by directly, like a gust of wind.
Wall's speed was too fast. After passing Lu Wei, he rushed directly to the basket and succeeded in a backhand layup!
Only 3 seconds left in the first half.
The last attack of the Pacers.
"Okay, friends, this game between the Pacers and the Wizards, at halftime, the Wizards pulled the score back, let's discuss my God now! What happened?"
Just when the commentator was about to start packing up, there was a sudden "swish" sound of a basketball hitting the net from the court!
This is?
No way!
A thought suddenly appeared in everyone's mind. It stands to reason that 3 seconds from serve to halftime is basically about the same.
There was an uproar!
Not only the fans, but even the referees and the Wizards were stunned!
What does this mean?
There was a deafening cheer from the Pacers' bench. No one expected that in the last three seconds, Xu Xiang scored a three-pointer!
That's right, just now when the Pacers served the ball, Xu Xiang rushed to half court, and Lu Wei's ball arrived in his hands in time. Xu Xiang's eyes turned hard, he aimed at the basket, took off, and shot!
The moment he made the shot, the referee had already blown the whistle for the end of halftime!
At the same time, the ball dangled across the distance of half court and flew to the basket.
Swish!
Hit!
Xu Xiang was so anxious that he didn't expect that such a random shot would actually make it, which is amazing!
He looked at his hands, and he didn't quite believe it.
The people on the bench over there and the people on the field have already rushed up to surround Xu Xiang. This fairy ball really boosted morale!
The fans who left the field early and couldn't possibly see this scene beat their chests and stamped their feet. This kind of ball must score five goals. Those who were on the scene, now have to watch the replay.
Feel bad and want to cry.
Wall looked at the frustrated Bill and walked over to comfort him.
"It's not your problem, Bradley, it's all luck."
Bill blamed himself. He had given up defending the last goal just now. He didn't expect Xu Xiang to make it. It was halftime!
If it's for an ordinary person who has never played before, it's still a question of whether it can be thrown to the basket, but Xu Xiang just made it!
Incredible goal!
In the Penguin platform studio, Teacher Wang and Director Yang burst into laughter. This ball is fun enough, and it can be scored!
The famous beauty anchor "Seventh Sister" also watched this scene with great joy. She is also a fan of Xu Xiang.
In the Pacers team's lounge, there is now a sea of joy, and everyone gathers together to watch Xu Xiang's last fairy ball just now, replaying back and forth.
Before the start of the second half, the reporter interviewed the Wizards head coach Randy Whitman.
"It's definitely a top five shot. I don't know how he made it, but I know he's lucky."
"Actually, I would be quite surprised and shocked if someone else made this shot, but this shot was made by Xu Xiang. You must know that he scored 60 points in his rookie season."
What the reporter asked was obviously Xu Xiang's "super-long three-pointer at halftime". Whitman "milked" Xu Xiang fiercely, and poured out all kinds of compliments.
"When he shoots, anything can happen!"
Xu Xiang pursed his mouth secretly, was the little mouth wiped with honey?so sweet?
As soon as the second half came up, Xu Xiang continued to stay on the court, and Pickle was also replaced. Now the Pacers' lineup is Lu Wei, Xu Xiang, Pickle, Plumlee, and Jokic.
