Chapter 174 Regret for the overtime defeat(1/2)
“What’s the situation?”
"Isn't it a very obvious kill?"
"The red light wasn't on when the action was taken!"
...
The fans at the scene were very surprised and didn't understand.
Wan Long was also confused and didn't understand why his decisive kill could be blown away.
This is incredible that the referee would give such a penalty at home.
But soon, the referee gave a reason.
Before Wan Long took action, there was a foul without the ball.
The whistle also made a foul first, and then the sound of the end of the game sounded.
But the whistle was covered.
After a while, the table was returned on the spot, and the final 2.3 seconds were left.
Cunningham, who was fouled just now, stood on the free throw line.
At this moment, Cunningham was under tremendous pressure, and two free throws over the score, which meant that he might become the hero tonight.
If one of the two free throws is tied, the two sides may enter overtime.
In overtime, it will be even more unfavorable for the Timberwolves.
After all, there are two core inside players missing. As long as the Knicks play steadily, it will be difficult for the Timberwolves to withstand it.
But if two shots are lost, the whole game will be announced without any suspense.
At the power forward, Cunningham's free throws can be said to be pretty good, not too good, nor can he be said to be very bad.
But it can be said that it is a scoring method without guarantees.
As a power forward who is not very tall, Cunningham's touch is actually softer than that of some big men.
Whether this can become a Christmas Eve belonging to the Timberwolves depends on two free throws.
"Hu, Hu, Hu..."
The whole game was quiet, and everyone was praying that the free throws would get a good result.
Now, even the sound of breathing can be heard clearly, and even quietly even a needle fell to the ground can be heard echoes.
"Don't worry, just follow your feelings and we will take it with you."
"I believe you can."
Wanlong stepped forward to give comfort and encouragement.
Cunningham nodded, adjusted his breathing and looked at the referee.
The referee also sent the ball.
The moment he received the ball, Cunningham's eyes became more focused.
"Put aside distractions, put aside distractions..."
He murmured silently in his heart, calming himself down.
Take a slow move, the curve of the ball looks normal, and the strength and distance are very good.
"It should be!"
A flash of light flashed in Wanlong's eyes.
"Swish!!"
The first penalty hit!
The pressure was immediately reduced by half.
At least there is still a chance, now we are back on the same starting line.
The pressure comes to the Knicks.
Once two free throws are made, it means they are likely to become losers away.
Anthony's eyes were very fierce at this time, as if he was about to tear Cunningham apart.
But after hitting a goal, Cunningham's confidence significantly rebounded and he was not afraid.
Re-adjust the state, the second ball is here.
Take action!
This moment seemed to have become very long, and even the distance from the ball to the basket became very long.
Finally, the ball hit the inside of the basket, and it seemed that it was about to enter.
"What?!"
Just when the home fans were about to stand up and cheer, the ball slipped around and threw it out!
"Hahaha!!!"
"It seems that the opportunity is still in our hands!"
"This is the arrangement of fate!"
The Knicks team was very excited. They still had a chance to attack and could even kill with one blow.
Now that the Knicks' pause time is approaching, the final tactical deployment is being made.
At this time, Wan Long's eyes were staring at the Knicks' bench.
Anthony looked up with a confident smile on his face.
The two of them looked at each other, and Wan Long's face looked a little heavy.
"You must not let Anthony catch the ball. Ninety percent of the possibility is that he will attack."
"Put him in, so he won't have a chance!!"
"Don't let anyone enter the penalty area!!"
Mr. Rick gave the order very harshly.
This game has been paid a considerable price until now, and if you cannot win it, you will lose a lot.
Even though I had a casual attitude towards this game at the beginning, I now have to change my mindset.
Players from both sides returned to the court.
The Timberwolves made a substitution adjustment, and Baria was replaced and replaced with Williams.
In this way, at least in terms of height, it can be made up.
The Knicks are ready to serve on the sidelines.
Wan Long directly entangled Anthony, almost inseparable from him.
Anthony complained helplessly: "You are really energetic, but the winner tonight is destined to be the Knicks!"
At this time, Williams also stepped forward to double-team.
The two men's attack obviously made Anthony very passive.
Chandler, who was about to serve, saw that the opportunity was not very good, so he swung the ball to the right.
It was Xiao Si who received the ball.
The moment I touched the ball, time began to pass.
Xiao Si stepped in one step from the middle and tried to take off and dunk.
"I will never let you succeed!!"
Greg and Cunningham rushed forward.
The three of them formed a very stunning picture in the air.
Xiao Si's road ahead was hindered and could only barely turn forward.
“Beebeep!!”
The sound of the end of the game sounded again, but this time, Xiao Si's ball missed.
Both sides enter overtime.
Back at the sidelines, Mr. Rick patted Wan Long on the shoulder.
He smiled and said, "It's OK, let's sit off the court and rest."
Wan Long nodded without objection.
At this time, Kirilianko was already exhausted.
The two insiders could not withstand the firepower at all when they met Xiao Si and others.
To be continued...
