Chapter 46 The most anxious knockout match
At halftime of the Fast Team, Curry quickly rushed forward with the ball.
Because Sun Yi's save was too sudden, most of the Speed players did not react, and only Bilson retreated.
The Wildcats got an opportunity to play more and less. Curry broke into the penalty area with the ball, used a European step to pass Bilson who wanted to intercept, rushed to the basket and scored a layup.
28:20!
Sun Yi used his enthusiasm to get an opportunity for the team to quickly counterattack, further widening the point difference.
Don't underestimate this active fight, it's very possible that you won the game just because you scored these two points.
"Good goal! Sun's diving save successfully led to a counterattack. He used his enthusiasm to drive his teammates. This is what March Madness should be like."
In the live commentary box, Kenny Smith explained excitedly.
On the court, Blake Griffin looked at Sun Yi and others celebrating and felt very unconvinced.
This game was supposed to be his battle of revenge, but he didn't expect that the hateful guy would steal the spotlight again.
"It's just about saving a ball, I can do that too!"
To Lifen believes that his enthusiasm is not inferior to anyone on the field.
The ball is transferred and the Speedy attack.
After Griffin attracted double-teams in the low post on the right, he passed the ball smoothly.
After several passes, Powell in the left corner received the pass and immediately shot a three-pointer.
After Ingram came back, he immediately rushed to interfere.
Since this was Powell's first shot of the game, his hand felt cold.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed.
At this time, there was chaos under the basket, and Griffin tried his best to get stuck in order to show his enthusiasm.
The moment the basketball bounced out of the frame, he suddenly exerted force and instantly rose into the air like a rocket. He grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands and dunked it into the frame.
"Good shot. Griffin used his enthusiasm to grab the key offensive rebound and hit a putback dunk to narrow the point difference." Barkley clapped his hands and praised.
The Speedy fans in the audience finally found the opportunity to cheer and shout to their heart's content, suppressing the Wildcats fans in momentum.
At the same time, the Speedster's cheerleaders also came into play, waving bouquets and cheering.
But not long after, the Wildcats used sharp passing and cutting to break through the Speedy's defense.
Sun Yi used a reverse run to get rid of Valdez, received a pass from Curry, rushed to the basket and made a layup.
Griffin, who retreated, took off with all his strength, trying to hit Sun Yi with a big shot, but failed to touch the basketball.
After scoring the goal, Sun Yi smiled and said "hello" to Shafen behind him.
"Blake, you better save some energy, otherwise I won't be able to see you in the second half. That would be such a pity."
After hearing this, Griffin was filled with anger and gritted his teeth and replied.
"Don't worry about it, I will personally send you and your team away from Crazy Three."
Sun Yi shrugged helplessly, not listening to the old man's words and facing the consequences.
After this, the game once again entered an anxious state, with both sides playing inextricably.
The Wildcats relied on pass-cut coordination and pick-and-roll tactics. Curry, Sun Yi and others scored frequently to maintain their lead.
The Speedy team took full advantage of their inside advantage. Griffin unswervingly attacked the inside and was able to pass the ball out in time when faced with double-teams, driving his teammates to score and clinging to the point difference.
Just like that, after the first half of the game, the score on the big screen was 44 to 36, and the Wildcats led by 8 points entering the second half.
During the halftime break, Kenny Smith and Barkley were reviewing the first half of the game.
"Look, man, I said team basketball will beat superstar basketball, right?!"
Kenny Smith wasn't going to miss this opportunity to prove his point.
Barkley waved his hand and had nothing to say. The Wildcats indeed played better in the first half.
"Don't get too happy too early. The second half of the game hasn't started yet. Everything is possible."
Lord Barker expressed his dissatisfaction and believed that the Speedy Team could make a comeback.
"The second half of the game is about to begin, so we'll wait and see who has the last laugh."
Kenny Smith knew that his partner was tough, so he said no more and focused his attention on the court again.
After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half of the game began.
As soon as the team came up, the Speed played a pick-and-roll, and Griffin quickly went down, received the pass, and jumped into the air.
Dabai wanted to help defend but was a step too late. He could only watch Griffin doing a one-handed dunk.
After giving Lifen this dunk, it greatly boosted the morale of the Speed players, causing them to use all their strength on the defensive end to prevent the Wildcats' attack.
The fans of the Speedy Team were delighted and cheered loudly to cheer for the team!
Griffin came to the high post area on the right and reached for the ball with Karen behind him.
Since the Rapids shot well from outside tonight, the Wildcats did not dare to double-team easily.
After receiving the pass, "White Monster" lowered his shoulders, put his center of gravity, raised his butt and started to hit from behind.
Karen's desperate resistance was of no avail, and he was pushed step by step towards the penalty area.
When Griffin came to the mid-range area on the right, he immediately stopped and used superb inside skills to shake Karen's center of gravity.
Originally, Griffin wanted to play more confidently, but when he saw that nasty guy Sun Yi moving over, he immediately pushed away Karen and turned around for a jump shot.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!
44:40!
Looking back, Curry used the screen to get rid of the defense and went to the right corner. He received Sun Yi's pass and hit a three-pointer, stabilizing the situation on the court.
Not to be outdone, the Speedy team had a tacit cooperation between the two Griffin brothers, and Tyler Griffin completed a dunk.
In this way, both sides used their strongest offensive methods to score continuously, and the score kept rising.
When the game lasted about 5 minutes in the second half, the Wildcats suddenly lost power and hit the outside line one after another.
The Speedy team took advantage of this opportunity and once narrowed the point difference to only 2 points.
"If the Wildcats still can't hit this ball, they will ask for a timeout to adjust."
Kenny Smith was very panicked and worried about the Wildcats.
"This attack must be scored!" Smith prayed in his heart.
If the Speedster eventually reverses and wins, Barkley will definitely be ridiculed mercilessly, and he doesn't want that to happen.
On the court, Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc to organize the offense.
Dabai Bian ran to the mid-range area on the right to provide an off-ball screen for Sun Yi, and took Taylor Griffin out of the penalty area.
Sun Yi took advantage of the screen and ran towards the three-point line, taking away some of the Speed defenders.
At the same time, after completing the screen, Dabai made an air cut toward the basket.
When the players of the Speedy Team saw this situation, they had a huge headache and didn't know how to defend.
Curry, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, passed the ball to the best position.
Dabaibian received the pass, saw Griffin approaching to defend, and immediately passed the ball out.
The unguarded Karen caught the ball and made a mid-range jumper.
Maybe he was too nervous, or maybe there were other factors that caused Cullen to take a short shot and miss the ball.
At this time, there was chaos under the basket, and players from both sides competed with each other.
At this moment, a red figure rushed in and jumped into the air without anyone stopping him.
Griffin wanted to jump, but was stuck firmly by Dabai Bian and was unable to use his strength.
"Damn bastard!" Silly Fen could only roar unwillingly in his heart.
Sun Yi, who was flying in the air, grabbed the basketball and slammed the ball into the basket with one hand.
Chapter completed!
