Chapter 114 Lore! (2/5)(1/2)
"The SuperSonics actually got the score back?!"
It was a roller coaster of emotions for fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
With less than 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Pistons lead the SuperSonics by 10 points.
Given the strength of the Pistons, this is a very safe margin.
Even if Yes were invincible, the garbage group with the SuperSonics in the first three quarters was only five points ahead of them at most.
105 to 106!
This is the score on the field.
With 12 seconds left in the game, the SuperSonics requested a timeout and Nelson was arranging the final attack.
"Facing the Pistons, the SuperSonics were able to recover 9 points in 6 minutes!"
This kind of crazy pursuit of points by lagging teams is not uncommon in the NBA, but basically it is a strong team chasing points against a weak team.
As for the SuperSonics or the Pistons, who is stronger and who is weaker?
It’s clear at a glance!
"It's not that the SuperSonics chased for 9 points in six minutes, it was Yes that chased the Pistons for 9 points in six minutes!"
Yes scored 46 points in the first three quarters, but only had two assists.
In the last 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, Yes only scored 10 points, but sent 4 assists!
With 10 points and 4 assists in the first half, Yes dominated the fourth quarter of the game against the Pistons!
"In the fourth quarter, Milicic's recovery is also crucial!"
Milicic's recovery in the fourth quarter, after struggling for three quarters, disrupted the Pistons' arrangement.
The Pistons were not quite used to Milicic's takeover style of play for a while.
The Pistons' defensive attention was all on Yes, and they didn't even think about Milicic suddenly waking up.
The main reason is that the Pistons know Milicic too well, and it is impossible for Milicic to do such a sudden outburst.
"hateful!"
Rasheed Wallace is very angry now.
Billups, Hamilton, Prince, and every Pistons player didn't have the joy of leading on their faces.
In this game, they actually faced the risk of being defeated by the SuperSonics!
Even in the NBA, the success rate of a game-winner is not high, but the Pistons did leave a chance for the SuperSonics to win!
If they are defeated by the SuperSonics in this game, they will be even worse than the Heat!
Sanders was anxiously arranging defensive tactics. The Pistons players listened with ugly faces. JJ Redick, who was standing on the edge, was already turning blue.
Yes' opponents in this game are the powerful Pistons Four!
Why? Why is this happening?!
My teammates obviously crushed his teammates, why can’t I beat him?!
Redick now feels as if he is almost autistic.
He didn't play even a minute in this game, but he was almost beaten to death by Yes.
"No, I haven't lost yet! We are still one point ahead. As long as we defend, we will still be the winners!"
At the last moment, it was impossible for the Pistons to let Yes catch the ball!
As long as Yes doesn't catch the ball, there is no threat to other Sonics players!
"This SuperSonics timeout is very simple, put the ball in Yes' hands!"
"As long as the ball is in Yes's hands, he may kill the Pistons!"
What a kill!
Barkley really didn't expect that he might see the first winning moment of Yes' career in the game against the Pistons.
Now Barkley can't wait to know what the highest ratings on TNT will be for this game!
Yes' first winning moment in the NBA, how many people in the United States are paying attention now?!
The timeout ended and the players from both sides walked onto the court again.
"In 12 seconds, the SuperSonics have many choices. According to the situation of the previous game, the SuperSonics should choose to serve from the frontcourt. Yes needs to run out of the game as soon as possible. With a one-point difference, Yes only needs to hit a two-pointer.
If he scores points, he can once again tie Chamberlain's rookie single-game scoring record, and he can also kill the Pistons and kill the game!"
Kenny Smith was not as excited as Barkley next to him, but the audience in front of the TV could still hear how trembling his voice was when analyzing tactics.
The Pistons will choke Yes on the ball!
James is also very nervous now. Yes's off-ball style will make the Pistons better defensive.
And Yes doesn’t have a teammate that can be trusted to win the game.
Huh?
It’s not a frontcourt serve?!
"Yes, you caught the ball in the backcourt?!"
The sudden change on the court made Barkley and Kenny Smith stand up in surprise.
Seeing Yes taking the backcourt ball from Milicic's hand, the expressions on the faces of the national reporters in the media box looked like crazy!
"Full Yes!"
"Yes is finally going to unlock his strongest ball-handling offense at the most critical moment of this game!"
Fully Yes?!
Fuck!
Pistons head coach Saunders wanted to yell!
Do the Pistons have a grudge against Yes?
In this game, it’s okay to go crazy against the Pistons and the Four Tigers. At the last moment, they were actually ready to unlock their full strength Yes?!
Fully Yes!
Images of Allen Iverson, Maddie and Reggie Miller, and Yes and the Bobcats scoring 12 three-pointers in three quarters not long ago, knocking down Bird Morrison Jr., came to Sanders' mind.
It will be difficult to defend anyone from Iverson, McGrady, or Reggie Miller in the final moments of the game.
Now the Pistons have to guard against their combination?!
"Be on guard and don't let Yes stand out!"
Fortunately, Prince is the main defender this time!
Although he did not expect Yes to attack with the ball at the last moment, as long as Yes is not allowed to stand out, Prince is the best candidate to defend Yes' shots!
Fully Yes?!
The Pistons players on the court are very dignified.
They wanted to attack from a flank, but in the end they held back.
Quentin Richardson, Milicic, David Lee, Wilkins, Yes, these teammates on the field are not that strong, but they cannot be let go casually after they are all separated.
Yes was dribbling the ball forward and observing.
Prince's defensive positioning is excellent.
You can prevent his breakthrough by taking one step back, and you can prevent his shooting by taking a step back. This is a textbook defensive position!
"Yes was dribbling the ball on the spot after pushing past half court. Is he attracting the Pistons' attack and preparing to pass the ball to his teammates?!"
James isn't sure.
Fully Yes is not only about controlling the ball, but also about passing the ball!
This is also why the Pistons are hesitant.
The Pistons are waiting for clear intentions from Yes!
"Yes will definitely not score. He must be waiting for the Pistons to attack and find an open teammate. He doesn't dare to attack on his own!"
"He has Prince in front of him. If there is no open opportunity, he will definitely not dare to face Prince!"
JJ Redick’s hands are shaking right now!
At the last moment, all-out Yes comes!
Sudden throw? Pass?
"Yes will definitely defeat Prince!"
What a familiar rhythm of dribbling under the crotch, McGrady is very sure of it!
I am so proud of this skill of his!
