222 Save the team

The booed in the basketball court! There were only 18 seconds left before the end of the third quarter. Within just a few minutes, the Hornets suddenly climaxed again on the Suns' head. Today's Hornets seemed like a young strongman who could not beat him, and they played very tenaciously. Paul played a big role in the attack wave just now. He used his three consecutive assists to help the Hornets make a very beautiful attack wave.

Today, both point guards feasted everyone and saw their awesomeness. Paul's data so far is 17 points, 13 assists, 4 rebounds and 4 steals, while Nash's data so far is 18 points, 14 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal. Two people made such excellent assists at the same time in a single game. Even though they are not in the same team, this is enough to attract the attention of the audience and fans watching the game. Now there are only the last eighteen seconds left before the end of the third quarter, but the Hornets lead the Suns by 6 points.

The Suns' situation today is a bit bad, and the Hornets have been suppressing them. Although the Suns have had super counterattacks again and again, such counterattacks have become weaker later. Then, the Hornets will seize this opportunity of the Suns to start counterattack again. Under their crazy counterattack, the Suns have to hand over their lead again. After a while, the Hornets are still leading the Suns by several points.

The ball was controlled by Nash. He also saw it today's game. He knew that this game really made the Suns fans and players a little confused. They had never been able to solve the Hornets' threat. Instead, the opponent kept seizing the opportunity to suppress them, which made them feel a little annoyed.

However, this was already the last ball, so Nash was still very careful when controlling the ball, otherwise it would be no joke if he was accidentally intercepted by Paul at this time. In this way, Nash began to dribble slowly outside the three-point line, but he did not rush to attack. After all, this was the last attack in this quarter, and he did not want to leave an offensive opportunity for the Hornets.

The game time disappeared in seconds. With nine seconds left in the game, Nash suddenly dribbled under his crotch, and then his speed was fully fired. In just a moment, his speed completely increased to the peak and passed by Paul. Paul was already more prepared for Nash, but under this sudden breakthrough, he still couldn't defend Nash. Besides, there were several Suns players next to him who were helping him block people.

However, the Hornets' inside line is as dense as iron barrels as ever. They did not leave Nash with any chance to break through and score, so the moment Nash arrived near the free throw line, his legs kicked the ground and his body had already soared into the air!

Although the opponent's inside line had jumped up to block Nash, Nash's move was quite clever, and he shot the basketball in his hand in the last moment before their defense came. In this way, although the opponent jumped very high, he could only stare at Nash's grasp of the rhythm that was so wonderful that he could only stare at him.

In this case, the basketball drew a unique arc and flew towards the basket. However, what is annoying is that although the arc of the ball is completely fine and the direction of gliding is fine, the grasp of the force is a little worse. The basketball hit the basket, then turned around and flew out again. With the last four seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the fans of the Suns were a little regretful. It seems that the Hornets' birders can still get an offensive opportunity now, and their score difference will be further superimposed at that time, so it will be a little trouble for the Suns to recover the score difference.

So, the fans were ready to accept the Hornets' super fast break when they saw the ball, but in this moment, they suddenly screamed in surprise! Because Marion, who was inside, suddenly grabbed the basketball and hugged it firmly in his arms!

"Good board!" Everyone shouted, and even Zhang Chen shouted for Marion's ball in his heart. In this moment, the Hornets' inside line quickly surrounded him fiercely. Marion's shooting space was completely locked, and his current position was not very good, just under the basket, so it was quite difficult for him to take action. Marion judged the situation a little and knew that he could not score, so he threw the basketball out in the direction of the outside line.

Marion just passed the ball based on his impression just now. After all, there was not much time, and they had to make good use of every second, so he had to pass the ball without any choice. Fortunately, the trajectory of the ball was quite good and appeared in Zhang Chen's hands just right!

Zhang Chen's current position is about one step from the top of the three-point line arc. He suddenly received the pass without hesitation. At this time, Bale had just rushed in to grab the rebound, just blocking in front of Zhang Chen and Morrison.

Before there was any time to hesitate, Zhang Chen's legs opened at a speed, and his body had turned into an arrow, stabbing quickly into the inside line. The moment Zhang Chen's body was fully activated, Morrison also started the process of starting the entire line. However, when Zhang Chen released all his speed, Morrison could only follow Zhang Chen helplessly, and he was blocked by Bell just as he took a step!

Zhang Chen continued to break through inside, his level 9 speed was fully fired, and he instantly threw away another person. Now only one West was left behind in front of him.

Zhang Chen broke through to the left side of the basket, and his speed exceeded two people, but West, the tall man, was still in front of him. Zhang Chen did not intend to let go of his breakthrough fruit easily, so he did not stop his breakthrough, but instead kept entangled with West to the place near the bottom line!

Zhang Chen had no way out, and the Hornets' inside defense contracted again. Zhang Chen had no chance and space to get closer to the basket than this. Seeing that the last two seconds were left, Zhang Chen suddenly took a step forward with his right leg and kicked hard. Then, Zhang Chen's body had jumped high. In the process of taking the air, his body began to slowly move past his direction until he adjusted the direction he faced to the basket before giving up. At the same time, Zhang Chen's body had reached the highest space. While his body rose, he was also retreating. When his body reached the highest space, his body also retreated to the point where he could not retreat any further!

West didn't make a complete judgment just now. He reacted until the moment Zhang Chen suddenly pulled up in front of him, and then began to jump into the sky to block Zhang Chen. However, he was already a beat slower in the rhythm. After all, Zhang Chen's grasp of the timing of the moment when he jumped was quite good, just in the moment when West had no time to react.

Although his right hand had rushed towards the highest space he could reach without hesitation, Zhang Chen's body had begun to retreat, so West's right hand was destined to be further and further away from Zhang Chen's basketball.

There were 1.23 seconds left, and after such a breakthrough, Zhang Chen stopped and leaned back, his body even seemed to have flew out of the boundary. At this time, the basketball in his hand finally broke out!

The basketball rushed towards the sky with a very amazing force, as if his goal was not the basket but to break through the ceiling and break through the round and earth demarcated by humans! At this moment, Zhang Chen's body had begun to fall and fell to the ground, and the basketball also began to fall after reaching the highest point.

"Swish!" The basketball almost fell vertically into the Nets from a high altitude, and it didn't seem to be dragging the water at all. The Suns scored two points again under Zhang Chen's buzzer-beating jump shot, and the difference became four points.

Leaving the Hornets' offense time was left for less than a second, the Hornets had no effect in this very limited second. Paul came to a place near the half court and began to shoot directly. Finally, the basketball flew out of the sky above the basketball stand in a jubilant atmosphere, and the Suns were four points behind the Hornets and entered the last quarter.

Although the last quarter of the game will be a real life-and-death battle, D'Antoni still couldn't help but feel annoyed on his face. He said to the players with some annoyance: "Hey, can anyone tell me what's going on? I want to know the answer to a question, why when we have the ability to lead our opponents, we are always interrupted by them suddenly, and then we return to their rhythm. Oh my God, this is not a good sign! We need to control this game more calmly, we need to control the rhythm of the game! The next quarter is the quarter where the game decides the winner, we must not lose anymore! We want to win them, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Everyone knows that D'Antoni has a bad tone. In fact, the players feel bad. The Hornets have been suppressing them, which makes them feel unforgivable. They are always the ones who can get the lead and suddenly get the score off by their opponents. This feeling is really bad. In fact, they are extremely eager to win today and prove to the league that they are the bosses in the West. The Hornets can only be their defeated players.

"We must cheer up in the fourth quarter, so we can't let the damn New Orleans win." Xiao Si finally said to everyone in a summary, and everyone suddenly thought that the atmosphere in the locker room reached a climax again.

The rest time between such sections is not too long, so Zhang Chen and the others quickly started the fight in the last section.

Now on the basketball court, the players of both sides met again, and each other's eyes were full of fighting spirit. Zhang Chen did not play at the beginning of the fourth quarter. He was sitting off the court and watching the game between the two teams. Now they all understand that at the end of the fourth quarter, the Suns and the Hornets will definitely have a life-saving battle, so D'Antoni's guiding ideology also allows Zhang Chen to get enough rest as soon as possible and become the Suns' ace at the most critical moment.

When D'Antoni and Zhang Chen were both on the bench, D'Antoni was always used to talking to Zhang Chen. He pointed to Paul on the basketball court and said, "Chen, what do you think of that little guy? I remember it seemed like he was your coach during the All-Star Game!"

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "That's right. Speaking of which, Chris is a relatively energetic player. His face is always full of business. I think he should be one of the best players in the league today."

"When it comes to Chris, Chen, your speed has really improved a lot."

"Uh, it seems."

"What I want to tell you is that you should try to improve your ball control skills. You can see your speed because you are a little clumsy. Sorry, I use this word to describe your ball control skills, but no matter what, your ball control skills really need to be improved. You need to spend more time on it, and your physical fitness. According to that guy Allen, your talent is improving. In this way, you can also improve some of your physical fitness as much as possible, and only in this way can you truly embark on the road to superstars."

Zhang Chen could hear that this old guy didn't just say that to improve the combat effectiveness of the Suns. After all, it would be difficult for him to be with Zhang Chen for the rest of his life. Zhang Chen nodded slightly when he heard these words and said, "I will work hard."

D'Antoni nodded, but before his nod was finished, he suddenly changed his hands that were holding his chest to point forward and then he shouted to Dior who passed by, "Hey, man, don't you want to do it anymore? He actually threw away such an easy ball?"

Dior smiled honestly and ran forward. D'Antoni looked at Dior's back a little helplessly and said to Zhang Chen: "Hey, Chen, you must be ready to play. It seems that they don't want you to be too leisurely."

There are six minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the Suns are still five points behind the Hornets, and now they are the Hornets' ball. Paul makes a jump shot, and the Suns's downward score becomes seven points.

After the whistle, Zhang Chen reappeared.

The players of the Suns began to smile slightly when they saw Zhang Chen playing. After all, Zhang Chen is one of their strongest firepower points. His appearance can make the Suns' firepower even more fierce. However, the Hornets, especially Paul and Morrison, looked bad when they saw Zhang Chen. Morrison was completely because Zhang Chen could use various means and unexpected ways to make his defense plan bankrupt. Paul frowned because he knew Zhang Chen's strength very well. He knew what kind of player he was. Anyway, at least from the perspective of a point guard, he loved such a player very much.

But they are enemies now, and Paul felt a little guilty when he knew that the Suns were going to add another new force. After all, they also wanted to win in this game, even more than the Suns.

The first ball was the Suns' ball. Nash took the ball through the halfway point and began to prepare to organize the attack. Now Zhang Chen came back and he breathed a sigh of relief. After entering the fourth quarter, they were still facing the same situation as in the first three quarters. When they saw that they were able to lead the Hornets, they were always blown down by the opponent, and then they had to face another wave of attacking Hornets, and then their seemingly accessible lead was wiped out again.

Not only the players were so distressed, but the audience also felt distressed when they saw this situation. Seeing that both sides were about to change, the Suns were extinguished again. The audience wished they could become one of the players and rush up and kick the Hornets' butt hard.

"Chen! Receive the ball!" Nash immediately handed the ball to him when he saw Zhang Chen coming on the court. At the same time, he also began to take Paul around the place where the inside and outside lines were intersecting. Anyway, the two of them were more loving and happy, and there was no tension. Zhang Chen faced Morrison again. He lowered his center of gravity, then held the ball with both hands and hugged it on his right waist, and then poked his right leg forward.

Morrison has also defended Kobe, and he also knows that guy's technical characteristics and Kobe's excellence. Seeing Zhang Chen's move, he was stunned: This guy's starting style is quite like Kobe. Zhang Chen stretched out his right leg and stumbled forward twice. Morrison was still unmoved. You should know that Kobe always has the patience to do many fake moves. When the defensive players lose patience, he is when he starts to explode. Morrison's judgment of Zhang Chen is obviously the same.

Zhang Chen was indeed ready to pull it out just now. Seeing that Morrison was unmoved, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity again, and then used his body to block the salty hand from Morrison's attempt to steal, and then kicked his right leg and ran forward!

"It's true!" Morrison couldn't help but admire his fierce eyesight to watch people's attacks. He immediately took a step back and prepared to defend Zhang Chen's next breakthrough attack. But something surprised him at this time happened.

Zhang Chen had just taken a step forward and saw that Morrison had followed, he suddenly retracted his right leg and retreated outside the three-point line in a short moment! Morrison in front of him had already pulled a step or so away. Facing this distance that could basically make him calm, Zhang Chen jumped into the ball without any pressure. Morrison's right hand, who rushed back, once again became the foil for Zhang Chen's goal. The basketball slid through a superb arc and plunged directly into the basket.

Three-pointer hit!

The score gap is left with the last 4 points, and the Suns seem to be starting another counterattack.

Morrison was still having a headache. Zhang Chen's shooting was so awesome that he couldn't defend at all. He could only pray that he could not make a shot. However, Zhang Chen was often able to shoot a ball that surprised him, and every goal he scored was quite beautiful, which made him helpless.

The Hornets' shooting percentage has always been good in this game. Now that the offense and defense are converted, their shooting percentage has finally had a little problem. West, the seventeen-foot assassin, finally missed the jump shot from seventeen-foot, and the basketball flew out and came to Sir Si's hands. Sir Si quickly passed the ball to Nash. Nash saw that the Hornets' retreat was still in order and they did not have any fast break opportunities, so he was not in a hurry and let his teammates slowly return to halftime, and another positional battle began.

At this time, Zhang Chen started running. Seeing that the Suns had already taken the lead, he began to plan his own attack. Morrison followed Zhang Chen and chased him reluctantly. However, after Zhang Chen made a series of fake moves in succession, Morrison had no choice but to let Zhang Chen open the distance with him. At this time, Nash's pass also appeared in Zhang Chen's hands just right, and then Zhang Chen began to jump shot.

However, Morrison rushed to him at the last moment when Zhang Chen started to jump shot. His high right hand had seriously affected Zhang Chen's shooting consistency. The shooting consistency of a three-pointer is very important. Just like Zhang Chen and his shooting percentage can even reach a shocking 97 or even higher when they are unprepared. However, on the basketball court, his total three-point shooting percentage of this season was only 54.6, and he is already the league's three-pointer king. The key reason is that their shooting actions will be disturbed by the opponent in actual combat, and this interference affects their shooting consistency.

Therefore, Zhang Chen's jump shot could only go bankrupt because he knew that he had been seriously disturbed. At this time, he happened to see that Xiao Si in the inside had an open position, so he changed the shot to pass, and the basketball flew into Xiao Si's hands.

The Hornets' people did not expect that Zhang Chen chose a pass, which immediately made Sir Slam dunk and also caused a foul by Hornets players. Sir Sir's extra free throws steadily, and the Suns were only one point behind.

"Turn over!" Many people began to long for the time to overtake, but at this time they became even more nervous, because in the previous games, it was often at this time that the Suns would start to miss the shots and were turned over by the Hornets. The Hornets launched another attack fiercely, and the Suns' leading trend could only collapse.

The Hornets' offense was destroyed by the Suns. Chandler received a relatively good pass from Paul. He immediately started to rise up and roar with a slam dunk. As a result, he was blocked by Xiao Si's big hat. The referee immediately walked up and said that Xiao Si had committed a foul on this ball.

Xiao Si was a little annoyed, but under the obstruction of his teammates, he gave up the tempting idea of ​​going to the referee to argue. Chandler started free throws, and his free throw shooting percentage was not much above 70. This time he made one of two free throws, creating a good chance for the Suns to overtake.

The players on both sides immediately returned to the half-court, and the audience began to look forward to it, and at the same time they were worried that the Suns would be killed in the cradle by the Hornets again, so they all started watching the next ball intently.

The basketball came to Nash's hands, and he still controlled the ball more stably and passed the half. Then his pace of leisurely stride suddenly changed a huge change. Then the basketball in his hand was thrown out by him, and kept entering the inside line and came to Xiao Si's hands.

The pass distance of the ball is quite far. Seeing that Sir Little S received the basketball smoothly, Paul also sincerely exclaimed to Nash: "Hey, Steve, this ball is so beautiful!" However, although the ball was passed beautifully, Sir Little S was immediately hit by the opponent after receiving it, and he had to pass the ball to Marion. However, Marion was also caught by the opponent's person, and finally he had to pass the ball to Bale.

A large-scale cooperation of the Suns was formed like this. Bale immediately passed the ball before he could get the heat and passed it to Zhang Chen.

The Suns' series of passes and cooperation made the Hornets a little dazzled, especially Morrison, because Bale's shooting fake move just now was too real and he could only run over to help defend Bale, which left enough space for Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen received the basketball outside the three-point line and started jumping without any pressure. Once he jumped, he kept his life and death out of his way, and was unmoved by favors and disgrace. The audience was about to jump out of his voice. They did not want to repeat the same mistakes for this ball. They hoped that the Suns could truly overtake the score. Therefore, all of them focused their attention on the figure who started jumping!

"Swish!" Three-pointer hit a steadily! The Suns overtook one point! Suddenly, the audience cried like thunder, and the applause rolled like waves, and the sound waves drowned everything in a moment.

Zhang Chen's jump shot was immediately celebrated by his teammates forcibly hitting his chest. At this time, the wonderful cooperation just now was played over and over again in the replays of the big screen and some live broadcast stations, and all five of the Suns were involved.

In the next few minutes, the Suns maintained their lead, but their lead did not last long. Just two minutes later, the Hornets began to launch another counterattack. Paul assisted his teammates in succession and also made a three-pointer. The Hornets instantly overtook the Suns and were about to have a chance to widen the score gap.

Fortunately, Nash stood up at the critical moment. He broke through and entered the inside and cheated a 21-pointer. His free throw was steadily and he scored three-pointers, allowing the Suns to temporarily stabilize the situation. Then in the next time, the two sides began to attack each other at the most thrilling moment. Their scores were rising alternately. The Suns hit one, and the Hornets had to return it. They maintained their state until the game was about to end.

Although both sides wanted to immediately open the score with their opponents, neither side could realize this beautiful wish because the opponent always came out at the right time to stop them.

Until the game was 42 seconds left, the Suns' Nash delayed the time to 25 seconds, leaving the Hornets with an offensive opportunity while not losing his own way of retreat. Then he made a quick stop jump shot and scored two points, and the Suns overtook the Hornets by one point.

It really responded to the mainstream of point guard matchup in this game. Paul pressed the time until the last five seconds left and successfully broke through. He made a shot and the Hornets led by one point.

The last five seconds left for the Suns. D'Antoni called a timeout and the game continued to begin. At this time, Nash passed the basketball to Zhang Chen, who was on the left side of the three-point line! Suddenly, all his eyes focused on Zhang Chen.
Chapter completed!
