Chapter 1293 The Last Moment
This time Paul was prepared, so Chen Jianghua's defense could be ignored.
Durant asked for the ball, but Kobe also asked for the ball. Paul looked left and right and hesitated.
"Chris, leave them alone, you are the point guard, you decide who to give it to." Li Ba yelled under the basket.
Paul was startled when Chen Jianghua suddenly seized the opportunity and made a steal.
On the sidelines, Old Coach K covered his face and then roared: "Go and chase it back! Chase that damn ball back!"
"Oh my God, Paul made a mistake?" Barkley said in surprise.
At the critical moment, Chen Jianghua missed a layup again. Paul desperately pursued the defense and actually chased the former.
"Oh, Paul and Kobe are behind you, why are you fighting on your own?" Zhang Li jumped up in anger.
"The hammer has reached the top of the arc, can't it be pulled out? Don't you know your finishing ability? After playing for so many years, you should be mature."
Yu Jia's face was also red with anger.
Kobe got the ball and handed it to Paul. At this time, Li Ba stopped in the high post and immediately turned around and ran back.
"Boss, are you cheating on me?"
While advancing with the ball, Paul shouted from behind with a mixture of grief and anger.
"Idiot, I'm giving you advice." Li Ba cursed.
Paul has a toothache. Fake boss, please forgive me for giving you such advice. I can’t bear it.
"Play faster." Coach K was shouting.
Kobe looked at the time and saw that there were only 46 seconds left, 90:86, still 4 points behind. At this time, he arrived in the frontcourt and immediately asked Paul for the ball.
"Chris, stick to yourself and don't pass it on immediately." At this time, a loud voice rang out again.
Paul was obviously disturbed again and was startled.
"Ha ha……"
In such a tense situation at the end, Dayao burst out laughing while sitting on the bench.
Kobe wanted to report to the referee that someone was interfering with the game. He glared at Li Ba fiercely and asked Paul for the ball again.
This time Paul gave.
But Li Ba also started and pounced on Kobe.
His interference was of course purposeful, just to distract Paul and the others, and then seize the opportunity.
He succeeded.
After Kobe got rid of Wang Shipeng from the three-point line, he received the ball while cutting to the wing. At this time, Li Ba jumped in front of him and stood still.
Kobe bumped into Li Ba's body and fell down after the rebound. The ball lost control and was picked up by Wang Shipeng behind him.
Li Ba did not move after being collided, and the referee did not call Kobe Bryant for an offensive foul. He pointed to the Chinese team's frontcourt to signal that the game should continue.
"Don't be anxious, wait for the hammer." Li Nan shouted loudly from the sidelines.
Wang Shipeng rushed to the left wing. Kobe and Li Ba were two steps behind. He did not attack by himself and passed the ball to Li Ba.
Li Ba caught the ball and rushed to the penalty area with Kobe on his back.
Paul and Chen Jianghua rushed to the free throw line. When they saw Li Ba rushing into the penalty area, they slowed down almost at the same time and did not dare to rush in again.
"boom!"
After struggling to hit the basket, Li Ba sank the U.S. team's basket.
92:86, the Chinese team leads by 6 points, with 27 seconds left in the game.
"yeah!"
The moment the ball was scored, countless fans across the country cheered.
At the scene, the Chinese bench stood up and could not sit still.
Several leaders of the Chinese Olympic and Sports Committee were also a little unable to sit still.
Coach K glared at Paul fiercely. If he wanted to pass the ball or not, what were you thinking? He wanted to make a substitution but had no chance.
Paul glanced at Li Ba aggrievedly, feeling that he had been tricked to death by the fake boss.
Team USA attacks.
Paul didn't pass the ball to anyone this time, he just shot it himself.
"Uh-huh!"
He was really accurate, and he threw a three-pointer over Chen Jianghua's head.
92:89, the Chinese team only leads by 3 points, with 18 seconds left.
This goal gave the American team hope. Coach K was glad that he didn't have the chance to make substitutions.
This same ball made countless Chinese people excited, especially the leaders of the Olympic Sports Committee at the scene.
Similarly, the emotions of the players on the field have also become more tense. They were already very nervous, but now they are even more nervous.
Li Ba saw Chen Jianghua's body trembling.
"Stand still, hold still and hit me!"
He pointed at Kobe and the others with his big hand, and shouted at his teammates: "There is nothing to worry about. Which of these guys is not defeated by me? They can't make trouble under my hands!"
"Listen to Brother Hammer, we are in the lead now, there is nothing to be nervous about." Ah Lian shouted at this time.
"Play steadily, Chen Jianghua, and give the ball to the Hammers after passing." Dayao also stood up from the bench at this time.
With the support of the three people, Chen Jianghua and others relaxed a little.
Coach K's head is spinning. It's the last 18 seconds. Is he committing a tactical foul? But the rules here can easily be called a physical foul, and the American team cannot afford the penalty of two free throws and one throw.
Moreover, one tactical foul may not be enough. If you commit consecutive tactical fouls, you may be called for a physical foul.
He didn't have much time to think. The referee signaled the Chinese team to serve. In nervousness, he decided not to commit a tactical foul. He used the full-court press to defend the ball, and then played a three-point tactic.
"Hey, guard against this shot."
He yelled at the court, and at the same time he grabbed his hands forward fiercely, making a tactical gesture of pressing the whole court, and then raised three fingers, indicating a three-point strategy after the transition between offense and defense.
But he did not specify who would shoot the three-pointer, because there were too many superstars on the court who could shoot three-pointers, so he could only let the players solve it themselves.
At this time, A-Lin personally served the ball, Chen Jianghua received the ball and pushed forward, and Paul immediately came up to press.
But Chen Jianghua was really fast, bypassing Paul and rushing to the frontcourt.
In order to meet Chen Jianghua, Li Ba did not fall to the low position, but waited in the high position, and then asked Chen Jianghua for the ball.
After getting the ball, Li Ba was double-teamed by Chandler and Love.
The two absolutely did not dare to let Li Ba turn around again, and desperately held him from behind.
Durant also came to double-team when A-Lin did not come up.
Li Ba dunked the ball with both hands and raised it high.
That is, his control of both hands was too strong. The three of them were not rookies, and they all knew this, so they did not dare to steal the ball, otherwise the ball would be lost.
After Chen Jianghua passed the ball, he saw Li Ba being double-teamed by three people and was a little at a loss.
"Cut to the basket!"
Li Nan jumped up anxiously, pointing to the basket and shouting at Chen Jianghua.
Chen Jianghua then rushed to the basket, and then Durant defended.
Li Ba passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu who was left open, and then immediately turned around and rushed to the basket.
Zhu Fangyu jumped on the left wing three-point line.
"Ah!"
Under the gaze of the national team, the ball hit the basket and also hit countless sighs.
Under the basket, Durant grabbed the rebound.
But at this moment, Li Ba rushed to the basket, and when Durant turned around, the ball was exposed in front of Li Ba, and he quickly stole the ball.
The next moment, Li Ba stood up and dunked with both hands.
