I'm not really a role player

Chapter 325

Chapter 325

91 to 93, the provocation of the scoreboard is what Stan Van Gundy and the Amway Center packed Magic fans don't want to see.

Marv Albert shouted: "A three-pointer hit, less than 5 minutes before the end of the game, the Bobcats overtook the score!"

"It's unbelievable, Sheldon is obviously exhausted, and he moves slowly, but he is still scoring goals!"

Cole stroked his chin and was silent for a while.

It wasn't until the Magic started their offense on the court that Steve Kerr pointed out: "Sheldon, who is physically exhausted, seems to have entered the killing mode. This reminds me of Michael who fought sick back then."

"At that time, Michael mentioned that in that game, he seemed to have entered some kind of strange realm..."

In a private room in the Amway Center, Old Qiao, who had been shouting and acting extremely surprised, seemed to have remembered something.

"The zone?"

He turned his head to look at Tim Graver beside him.

The latter nodded and confirmed: "It should be."

Old Qiao's eyes became more and more surprised. After careful consideration, he didn't find it strange anymore.

"Your Breakfast Club, thanks a lot."

Tim Graver nodded, then shook his head.

In Huajing's state, the first thing he mentioned was the old Joe in front of him.

After that, Kobe also confirmed the existence of this state, and he even made a short film.

In Old Joe's view, the breakfast club's training mode is to first use rigorous physical training to exhaust the physical fitness of the athletes, and then conduct regular training.

With this training mode, it is not surprising that Li Ke has the performance he has today.

And the two people who have mentioned Huajing from the beginning to the end, and Li Ke who has clearly entered the Huajing in this game, have one thing in common-they have all received special training from Tim Graver.

"Yes and no." Tim Graver denied half of it, "The breakfast club training, so far, only you and Sheldon have persisted..."

"Is there no Kobe?"

"No."

Old Qiao was taken aback for a moment, and he suddenly realized something.

……

Back to the game, the Magic's offense.

The old Carter singled out Wesley Matthews, made a mid-range emergency stop and made a successful hit.

93 to 93, the score was tied.

Then came the Bobcats' bout.

It was still Li Ke, slow as old Zhan's last one passed halftime.

It's not that he is exhausted to the point where he can't even run. It's just a way for him to save the little energy left.

After halftime, he immediately received a pass from Curry. As soon as he raised his hand, Stan Van Gundy's heart couldn't take it anymore: "Touch him, double-team him!"

So, Old Carter, who was the closest, quickly leaned over.

Li Ke turned his back, leaned against Pietrus, who was the main defender, and turned his lower body casually. Pietrus and old Carter immediately continued to shrink the encirclement nervously.

It was also at this moment that Li Ke shook hands quietly...

boom!

Before everyone knew it, the basketball had left Li Ke's hands and appeared in the hands of Hua Er Er who was making an empty cut.

The moment the basketball appeared, the audience exclaimed.

"Oh my god, how did this pass come out?"

With a bang, Hua Er Er's subsequent snap button became less important among the above questions.

In the private room, Old Qiao raised his neck and saw clearly how Li Ke passed the ball through the playback above his head.

Just when Li Ke turned around, the right hand of the basketball was switched to the left, and with such a random flick, the basketball jumped out from between the old Carter and Pietrus...

"The pass is too elegant. Shelton in his normal state can't pass this ball..."

The strangeness of the transformation environment has been reflected here.

However, what Old Joe cared more about was this game.

The Bobcats took the lead again, with a score of 93 to 95, and they were in the leading position.

Stan Van Gundy became more and more nervous about the Magic's offense.

The same is true for the Magic players on the court. Basketball will no longer hit the basket, because the state of Sparks facing Li Ke has long been a conclusion.

Stan Van Gundy even regretted it a bit. In order to consume Li Ke's physical energy before, even though the sparks had not scored, he insisted on playing inside.

As a result, the Bobcats smoothed out their disadvantages by relying on several waves of climaxes that were not climaxes. Even now, the Magic, which originally held a big advantage, was about to lose this game.

Stan Van Gundy is very aware of the importance of this game. If he wins, the total score will be 2 to 3.

With a total score of 2 to 3, if we talk about a reversal, there is absolutely hope.

"Slow down, slow down!"

Stan Van Gundy was at the top of his throat, and his involvement increased as the game wore on.

This is the desire to survive, and Stan Van Gundy knows very well that if he loses this game, his coaching career will be completely over.

On the court, Xiao Heidou was in control of the ball. According to the instructions of the head coach on the sidelines, he also controlled the rhythm of the game.

But he is not a master of rhythm after all. The so-called controlling the rhythm means slowing down the speed of attack.

After spending a while on the outside line, it was still a breakthrough. After an emergency stop, he flew Curry away and forced out Hua's second defense.

Then a pass was made to find Lewis in the half-open state.

Li Ke made it up in time.

"Rashard Lewis, three-point shot!"

Bang-dang-!

The crisp sound of hammering iron made Stan Van Gundy's little heart tremble again and again. With this ball hitting an iron, half of the game was lost.

Under the basket, Hua Er Er, who jumped in, grabbed the rebound.

Bobcat's counter... counterattack is definitely gone, Li Ke is still the same as the old Zhan, passing halftime leisurely.

Immediately afterwards, it was a pass from Curry.

This time, Li Ke did not make a false vote.

He pulls the ball up and hits a [-]-pointer.

Steve Kerr opened his mouth wide and said in his heart, won't this goal be returned?

Swish-!

A three-pointer was pocketed. In the Amway Center, there were already many Magic fans covering their heads with their hands raised high.

"Michael Pietrus has blocked Li Ke's sight, but the goal is still scored. This game..."

93 to 98, what the groom Albert wants to say is by no means that the game is over.

He shook his head. What he wanted to say was, how can we play this game?

The right time, place, people and people all went to the magic side. As a result, a Gundam appeared on the opposite side.

The game is still going on. For the Magic, they must also become Gundam for the next offense.

But in the next round, the Magic cut back and forth, from Little Black Bean to Carter Sr., and then to Lewis. The three took turns holding the ball and rushed to the Bobcats' three-point line.

At the end of the grind, Little Black Bean's shot still hit the frame with a clang.

The Bobcats grabbed the rebound, Gao Dali Ke made another squirming breakthrough and made an emergency stop jumper, and scored two more points.

"Another precise two points, in the fourth quarter, Shelton scored 23 points!"

"Including the first three quarters, he has scored 51 points."

"This reminds me of the playoffs in 08. It was also the Eastern Conference finals. Sheldon, who was still a rookie at the time, also defeated the Celtics in an upset through personal bombardment."

Groom Albert sighed, but Cole turned his focus back to the game itself:

"93 to 100, the Magic are 7 points behind."

"The situation has completely reversed."

There are only two minutes left in the game.

Stan Van Gundy, who had plenty of timeouts before the start of the last quarter, now only had one long timeout and one short timeout left in his hand.

He originally wanted to stay until the last moment of the game, but the collapsed situation forced him to use the last long timeout in his hand at this time.

"Steve, what do you think?"

When groom Albert threw this question to Cole, Cole spread his hands.

He no longer wanted to predict the outcome of the game in advance, and he was slapped badly in this game alone.

If he had to say something, he would still say: "For the Magic, this game is over."

That's right, the game is over.

After the timeout, the Magic launched the craziest double-team defense against the physically exhausted Li Ke.

This defense did prevent the Bobcats from scoring smoothly.

But again, the Magic's offense has made no progress.

Until, more than a minute before the end of the game, an attack by the Bobcats——

"Backcourt, the Bobcats got the rebound."

"Gerald Wallace kept the ball going forward and still didn't counterattack."

"In the last 1 minute and 12 seconds, the Magic's hope of winning is already quite slim."

Quite slim means that there is only a theoretical possibility of winning.

Even so, the Magic players on the court are still working very hard and defending desperately.

Li Ke passed halftime slowly, Curry passed the ball ahead of time, and Pietrus posted it immediately.

Not far away, Old Carter is also eyeing...

It seems that this round is no different from the past few rounds.

But in the next second, Li Ke suddenly accelerated...

He gritted his teeth, and quickly moved his weak legs, as if he had returned to the peak of his physical fitness.

This sudden acceleration was beyond everyone's expectations.

Seeing Li Ke get rid of Pietrus in a second, the Amway Center exclaimed again.

"Sheldon...he suddenly accelerated!"

"Sudden acceleration, he throws off Michael Pietrus..."

"Three-pointer from outside the three-point line!"

At that moment, the only thing left in Amway Center was the chanting of groom Albert.

Li Ke seemed to have exhausted the last of his strength, and raised his hand to throw.

With desperate eyes, the basketball flew to the basket.

At the top, straight down.

Swish-!

"The ball is in!"

"It's still Sheldon!"

"Sudden force, a three-pointer, directly kills all the suspense in this game!"

Yep, that's all the suspense.

After a three-pointer, the score became 93 to 103, with a gap of 10 points, and the final time was 1 minute and 02 seconds.

The magic can no longer be reversed!

"A three-pointer directly killed the Magic..."

Steve Kerr finally dared to tell the truth, he shook his head: "But more importantly, Sheldon's three-pointer seems to have set a new record?"

"Uh... I checked, and there is no record, he just tied Allen Iverson's scoring record in a single quarter."

"In any case, in this game, Sheldon's performance is historical."

"..."

After 1 minute and 02 seconds, the Magic's struggle was over.

With a score of 95 to 103, the Bobcats used a reversal to kill the Magic and ended the 09-10 Eastern Conference Finals.

The total score of 4 to 1 magnified the gap between the two teams to the extreme.

But for this game --

"Undoubtedly, it was Sheldon's personal performance that brought the Bobcats victory in this game."

"In this game, he scored 54 points. He was 10 points behind in the final quarter, and he successfully reversed it with his performance of 26 points in a single quarter."

"Aside from these statistics, what I'm more curious about is that Sheldon, who is obviously exhausted in physical fitness, has played an even more outstanding personal performance. Why is this?"

The answer should be in the interview after the game, but in this game, Li Ke has indeed lost his strength.

No one thought it was due to his poor physical fitness. After all, from the beginning of the game, he had been on both offense and defense.

In the last quarter of the game, he had to play as a guest center, under the pressure of the Sparks, and against the impact of the Magic's small players.

In short, Li Ke, who played the full 48 minutes, never stopped in every offense and defense.

The exhaustion of physical energy was doomed long ago.

But the eruption after physical exhaustion was unexpected. For the Bobcats, it was an unexpected surprise.

Craig Sager, a man in colorful clothes, waited for Li Ke on the sidelines, but what the Bobcats press officer brought him was a young Stephen Curry.

Facing the camera, Curry said: "Uh, yes, this is the first Eastern Conference Finals of my NBA career. My performance was terrible. Shelton took on a lot. In the end we were able to beat the Magic and advance, thanks to Sheldon."

"Why is he still able to score goals when he is physically exhausted? I don't know, but I think it should be related to his daily training."

"That's right, his trainer is Tim Graver, Michael's former trainer..."

Curry said enough, but he still didn't get to the heart of the matter.

until……

The Western Conference Finals is also a G5 that may determine the outcome. Before the game started, Kobe was interviewed and talked about the Eastern Conference Finals next door.

Regarding Li Ke's outbreak in a desperate situation, he was very simple and straightforward: "That is Zone. Michael once mentioned this state to me. Under the desperate situation, we entered the Zone, but we were able to play far beyond the normal level of competition..."

Back in the East, because it was an away game, the Amway Center did not provide the Bobcats with the opportunity to win the Eastern Championship trophy.

So, the Bobcats could only squeeze in a small press room, and in the midst of cheers, raised the trophy for the Eastern Conference champion.

In the front row, the team captain Hua Er and the locker room "leader" Lao Du held up the trophy.

In the back row, Old Joe happily clapped his hands and said, "Anyway, Time Warner Center can have another championship banner."

The champion of the Eastern Conference is also the champion. Old Joe is already satisfied with the current season.

But for the subsequent finals, Lao Qiao still patted Li Ke on the shoulder, and said words of encouragement to all Bobcats:

"We've reached the finals, and now it's time for us to take in more honors. The Lakers are not invincible. Speaking of which, they are still our defeat!"

In 08, the Lakers lost to the Bobcats.

That season, the Bobcats were not favored either.

"From now on, we are a dark horse. Usually, in sports competitions, the dark horse always goes to the end. Believe us, the dark horse is the same!"
