103 to 100.
After Zhao Feiyang scored this goal, the fans in the entire Target Center Arena cheered. In such a tense moment, any score and lead is very important to the team.
There are 53 seconds left.
Cleveland Cavaliers serve.
They were very anxious when they fell behind. Both LeBron James and Kyrie Irving were asking their teammates for the ball.
The actions of the two at the same time also made it difficult for Tristan Thompson who was standing under the basket.
After a moment of hesitation, Tristan Thompson gave the ball to LeBron. After all, as LeBron's younger brother in the Cavaliers, LeBron helped broker Tristan's contract. It can be said that without LeBron's help, Tristan would not have received the big contract offered by the team.
Therefore, the pass to LeBron is not surprising.
However, in the eyes of Irving, such an action undoubtedly made Irving feel disappointed for a moment.
He spread his hands with a helpless expression.
LeBron, who got the ball, had no intention of paying attention to this at all. He quickly took the ball and sprinted towards the half court.
After seeing that the Timberwolves players failed to defend in time, LeBron accelerated directly towards the Timberwolves' basket.
His body is already strong, and after suddenly starting up, he was like a tank and quickly entered the Timberwolves' penalty area.
Adrian Ennis, who came up to defend, saw that Dwight Howard was not in place yet, so he had no choice but to give up the double-team and choose to go up on his own.
The two met in mid-air, and Adrian and LeBron collided. Amid the screams of the fans, LeBron threw the ball against Adrian's blocking hand.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Adrian defensive foul.
The next second, the basketball thrown by LeBron hit the board firmly and fell into the basket.
boom.
The ball went in.
Two plus one.
The fans on the sidelines sighed in despair.
"Oh! No! Damn two plus one...LeBron actually scored..."
"Faq! It's over now! The score will be tied again!"
"Gift crab! How could this happen? Adrian shouldn't have fouled, even if he let LeBron score, it's really unwise to foul..."
Not only were the fans talking like this, but Adrian himself on the court also looked annoyed. He looked very guilty, looking at the floor and shaking his head.
"Adrian, don't think too much, it's just a goal! Don't put pressure on yourself!"
"We still have time!"
As the team leader, Zhao Feiyang came over and patted Adrian on the shoulder.
After being comforted like this, Adrian really felt better.
Soon, LeBron stepped to the free throw line.
Amid the unanimous boos from the fans, LeBron took the basketball thrown by the referee. He took a deep breath under the pressure and then threw the ball.
Uh-huh.
LeBron made a solid free throw.
The ball went in.
103 to 103, the two sides were tied again.
There are only 40 seconds left before the end of the game.
It continues to be the Timberwolves' turn to serve.
This time, the Cavaliers started full-court marking mode, and every player stuck to the person they were guarding.
The person in charge of serving was Adrian. Seeing this situation on the court, he was a little hesitant for a while.
The head coach Norman Thomas on the side saw it and shouted anxiously to remind Adrian to pay attention to the serving time.
"Adrian!"
A sharp shout woke up Adrian. At that moment, LaVine ran out of the open space, and Adrian immediately transferred the ball to LaVine.
After getting the ball, LaVine quickly advanced with the ball. He didn't hesitate at all. After taking the ball, he rushed directly towards the Cavaliers.
Irving appeared on the road and tried to steal LaVine's dribble, but the two met each other. LaVine, who had rarely been confrontational with Irving before, made a dribble behind his back this time. His smooth and skillful movements helped him successfully throw the ball away. Open Irving.
There was an exclamation from the sidelines.
Raven didn't have time to care about this.
He quickly came to the Cavaliers' basket and saw Tristan Thompson rushing to interfere with him. LaVine planned to end the battle with a dunk.
Firstly, dunking is not easy to be blocked, and secondly, the opponent is likely to accidentally foul, in which case he can also get the opportunity to be whistled.
So LaVine seized the opportunity and jumped high into the air, rushing towards Tristan's defense.
The two met in mid-air. To LaVine's surprise, Tristan didn't choose to hit each other when they were about to collide. Instead, he left a little space for LaVine to dunk.
This change also caused LaVine's body center of gravity to shift slightly.
boom.
LaVine jumped up and dunked in mid-air, but unfortunately his ball only hit the backboard.
The basketball bounced straight away.
There was a sigh at the scene, and many fans thought this goal was a pity. Even Norman Thomas, the head coach of the Timberwolves bench, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it.
"No!"
"You should choose a layup..."
However, the moment the basketball flew out, something unexpected happened to everyone.
I saw Zhao Feiyang suddenly swooping up from behind. Under the shocked eyes of the fans in the audience, he steadily caught the flying basketball with one hand, and then sent the ball into the basket with a tip-in before landing. .
boom.
The ball went in.
Zhao Feiyang's catch-up dunk was a stroke of genius, causing many fans who were disappointed a second ago to immediately fall into ecstasy.
"nice shot!"
"Well done!"
"We're ahead!"
105 to 103.
The Timberwolves led by 2 points, and there were only 28 seconds left in the game.
"Tristan, give me the damn ball!"
Under the Cavaliers' basket, after Irving saw the ball scored, he immediately shouted to Tristan Thompson.
His angry look first stunned Tristan, and then the other party immediately woke up. Out of fear or embarrassment, he actually passed the ball to Irving this time.
LeBron originally planned to come up and ask for the ball for a single. After seeing Irving receiving the ball, he immediately ran towards the half court.
After both men passed halftime, LeBron came up from the wing to receive the ball and shouted to Irving, "Kyrie, give me the ball!"
Irving was right in front of him, but he didn't seem to hear LeBron's words. He ignored LeBron's move to ask for the ball, and just waved at the other Cavaliers players on the court.
"Everyone... pull away from me..."
This scene also shocked the fans at the scene.
"No! Does that guy Kyrie want to play singles?"
"He's not willing to give the ball to LeBron?"
The host and commentator in charge of the broadcast were also surprised by the little situation of the two people.
"What's going on? Are Kyrie and LeBron having a conflict? It seems like they are not on good terms with each other..."
"This is the last offense! Kyrie's previous three-point shooting percentage was not very high. Does he really want to choose to hit it by himself? If this goal is not scored, then he is likely to become the loser. of......"
"This guy is really crazy! But I like it. Young people should have the energy of young people..."
