On the bench of the Wildcats, head coach McClop was holding a tactical board and was racing against time to arrange tactics.
"Our last attack will be completed by Sun Lai!" McClop made a decisive decision.
Among the Wildcats, Sun Yi has the best mid-range shooting ability and the highest success rate.
Moreover, now that the score is only tied, there is no need to shoot a three-pointer. It is safer to choose a two-pointer.
The Wildcats players nodded without comment.
Although Curry agreed to this tactic, he still felt a little disappointed.
After all, he was the one who took the key shots in the past.
"Sun is more stable than me, as it should be."
Unable to complete the final attack by himself, Curry looked away. For the benefit of the team, all sacrifices were worth it.
Not long after, the referee blew the whistle and signaled the players from both sides to come to the court.
When he was on the court, Sun Yi saw Curry on the side in a bad mood, and he probably guessed the reason, so he patted the primary school student on the shoulder and smiled.
"Stephen, be ready to catch the ball and shoot. They won't give me a chance to take it easily."
Curry raised his head and glanced at Sun Yi, knowing that his brother was telling the truth, and his heart suddenly became firm.
"Sun, don't worry, I will make that damn basketball!"
After that, they quickly discussed a few words and then came to the field.
The timeout ended and fans throughout Lucas Oil Stadium stood to watch the final possession.
In the front row of the audience, Dayao was also extremely nervous, sweating for his compatriot Sun Yi, and eagerly hoping that the Wildcats could complete the victory.
The Wildcats served a sideline ball. Curry used the cover of his teammates to get around and receive the ball. He came to the top of the arc and played a pick-and-roll with Sun Yi.
After the pick-and-roll was completed, Curry handed the ball to Sun Yi and then quickly moved without the ball.
Near the free throw line, Sun Yi was misplaced and faced Spartans defender Lucas.
He wasted no time and immediately made a breakthrough to the right. Seeing his opponent unconsciously retreating to block, he suddenly stopped and retreated to outside the three-point line, and took off to shoot.
Because Lucas failed to withdraw his force in time, he continued to retreat, and his defense was completely out of position.
"Damn it!" Draymond Green, who originally planned to chase Curry, saw that his teammates were out of position on defense, and immediately rushed back and rushed to interfere.
On the other side, Spartans shooting guard Bullock also ran forward to help defend.
"Facing a double-team from three Spartans, can Sun Yi hit this key goal?"
Sun Yi, who was jumping in the air, did not choose to shoot, but instead slammed the ball towards the bottom corner.
After the effect of the [Arc Top Dealer] badge, he accurately passed the ball to the bottom corner.
Waiting there was Curry, who was ready to catch the ball.
After catching the ball, the primary school student had no time to adjust and immediately took off to shoot.
The fans in the audience held their breath and watched the basketball flying in the air.
This goal may determine the final outcome of the game.
The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air.
Swish!
Hollow into the net!
At the same time, a harsh buzzer sounded, signaling the end of this semifinal, leaving no chance for the Spartans to come back.
"In! Stephen Curry used his best three-pointer to complete the buzzer-beating victory! They eliminated the Spartans, the tough team, and successfully advanced to the finals!"
The moment the goal was scored, Brin stood up excitedly in the commentary box and roared heartbreakingly.
At the same time, the stands were completely filled with excitement, and deafening cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.
On the court, Curry rushed towards Sun Yi excitedly.
"Sun, I fucking did it! I threw the damn basketball into the basket!"
"Stephen, great job!"
Sun Yi and Curry excitedly bumped shoulders to celebrate.
The Wildcats players also ran over one after another, lifted up Curry who made the buzzer-beater, and threw him high into the air.
On the sidelines, McClop looked at the disciples celebrating their victory and smiled and clapped his hands.
Although the last attack was very different from his tactics, the final result was perfect. He had nothing to complain about. It was not too late to be happy.
Not long after, after the Wildcats players finished celebrating, Sun Yi, Curry and others walked towards the bench.
At the same time, reporters in the media area rushed around.
Curry, who completed the buzzer beater, naturally became the favorite in the eyes of media reporters and was surrounded by many media reporters.
Seeing this, Sun Yi did not feel jealous, but was very happy.
He doesn't mind if Curry outshines him.
As long as he can win, he believes Curry will make such a choice at the last moment.
Moreover, after the elementary school student completed the winning goal, he completely solved the knot of last year's loss to Kansas.
Sun Yi turned around, only to find that he was also surrounded by media reporters.
In this game, Sun Yi scored a triple-double of 18 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and also sent key assists. He was full of enthusiasm and was indeed worthy of being interviewed by media reporters.
Facing various questions from media reporters, Sun Yi picked three or four questions. After answering them in a satisfactory manner, he squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the player tunnel.
As soon as he entered the players' tunnel, Sun Yi saw a very familiar big man smiling at him.
"Hello Sun Yi, I'm Dayao. Congratulations on leading the team to the finals. You played very well!" Dayao said first.
"Thank you, Brother Yao." Sun Yi quickly adapted to his familiar personality and answered with a smile.
Dayao smiled happily when he saw Sun Yi's calm performance.
He feels that Sun Yi has a good personality and should be able to adapt quickly after entering the NBA.
"I won't delay your return to the locker room. Contact us later. I'll find a place to have a late-night snack together and have a good chat."
After Dayao finished speaking, he exchanged phone numbers with Sun Yi, went to the stands to join Battier and others, and then left the arena.
After returning to the locker room, Sun Yi and his teammates celebrated again.
After a while, head coach McClop and his coaching team pushed in the door.
"Quiet, I have something to say." McClop clapped his hands and interrupted the celebrating players.
After the Wildcat players calmed down, McClop made a simple post-game summary as usual, and then gave a few instructions to the disciples to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
After McClop finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the disciples to wash up and take a shower.
Sun Yi did not follow his teammates to the shower room, but went to head coach McClop and explained his purpose.
"Sun, remember to come back early and don't stay out for too long." McClop agreed.
"Okay, coach, I will definitely not make a mistake at this critical moment." Sun Yi assured, patting his chest.
"Okay, let's go to the appointment!" After McClop finished speaking, he led the team out of the locker room.
After getting McClop's permission, Sun Yi quickly took a shower, changed clothes, left the locker room, and went to the restaurant that Dayao had booked in advance.
