The basketball flew toward the basket like a fairy from heaven. It hit the backboard first, then rebounded and fell into the basket, hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer.
At 50:50, relying on Nash's super long three-pointer at the buzzer, the Lakers tied the game.
Nash raised his arms, as happy as a child, and jumped back to the locker room.
"This ball is so lucky."
Murphy said while stroking his beard.
"Luck is also a part of the game. Horry's three-pointer helped the Rockets successfully defend their title. Who can say that there is no luck involved."
Olajuwon said arrogantly.
Xu Xin thought thoughtfully, and couldn't help but think that Wang Shipeng's long-range three-pointer that was recorded in history when the Chinese national team played against Slovenia in the 2006 World Championships was also due to luck.
In that game, Dapeng only scored one three-pointer, but that one three-pointer was enough to brag about for a lifetime.
But if Yao Ming hadn't played through injury and fought hard to the end, scoring 36 points and 10 rebounds, if Dazhi hadn't scored 5 points in a row at the critical moment, and if Zhu Fangyu hadn't decisively shot from outside the three-point line in the last minute, how could it have happened? Is there any chance that Wang Shipeng can save the team?
In the final analysis, only when there is not a big gap in strength between the two sides and we try our best can we have a chance to win the game.
After this generation retired, the new generation plummeted.
Even if luck is always on the side of the Chinese men's basketball team, the gap in strength with the opponent is too big, and winning is just a fantasy.
"Luck is unreliable, and you have to be tough to make iron."
Xu Xin seemed to be talking about it for the Rockets, but more like he was talking about it for the China Men's Basketball Team.
"Yes, so even if Nash makes this magic ball, I won't panic at all. The Rockets' combat power is very powerful now."
Drexler said that he very much agreed with Xu Xin's point of view.
During the intermission, the photographer turned the camera and showed Xu Xin's box. Several celebrities saw their figures appearing on the big screen and stood up to signal to the fans at the scene.
The scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers, which was a tribute to them fighting for the Rockets in those years.
The Rocket Bear started his own wacky way again, patrolling the audience with a cup of coffee, and when he saw someone wearing a Lakers jersey, he was going to treat him to a cup of Houston's traditional Chinese medicine soup.
Quickly locking eyes on a big brother wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey, the Rocket Bear got ready for a sprint and rushed over like an arrow from a string. He raised his hand and splashed the big brother in the face.
"Hey, no one cares about him? That's too much!"
The eldest brother stood up and complained to security.
"Sir, this is our repertoire. To express our apology, tickets for the next Rockets home game against the Clippers will be given to you for free."
The security guard was very polite, but his smile looked like a joke.
The little episode made the audience laugh, and the main course was served. Players from both sides returned to the court, and with the referee's whistle, the second half of the game began.
The Rockets took the lead in launching the first attack. Jeremy Lin organized the attack and called on Garnett to cover.
Initiating a pick-and-roll is the Rockets' regular offensive start.
Nash stepped off the line to prevent Jeremy Lin from breaking through, but he was still half a beat too slow. Jeremy accelerated and passed him. Facing McGee's defense, he threw the ball high and the basketball passed McGee's fingertips and flew behind him.
Asik waited for a long time, dunked with both hands, and completed the alley-oop.
"Nash is indeed old. People age first, and their legs age first. His defense is completely unable to keep up with the scholar."
Yang Yi sighed.
The Lakers attacked, and Nash handed it over to Kobe after halftime. Kobe didn't play for a long time in the first half and still had plenty of energy.
After taking the ball, he posed a three-point threat and suddenly started to break through from the left. Seeing Butler's center of gravity backward, he pulled back and fell back in the air, making a mid-range shot.
52:52.
"The two teams recovered well after the halftime break and continued to attack efficiently in the second half."
Yu Jia said.
Jeremy Lin organized the offense, and the Rockets cleared one side and gave it to Garnett to play one-on-one. This was a tactic specially arranged by McHale for the Wolf King.
Garnett singled out Gasol, strode into the paint, and dunked hard with both hands.
54:52.
Although he is older, thanks to his self-discipline and diligence over the years, his body fat rate is still frighteningly low. His speed and explosive power are definitely not as good as they were back then, but they are still more than enough to face Gasol.
Looking back, Gasol was not to be outdone.
When you beat me in the finals, I had nothing to say. Now that you are so old, if I let you bully me again, I will not give up!
Dajia thought to himself.
Then he opened his hand for the ball and hit the ball from behind.
"careful!"
Kobe reminded him loudly, but it was still a step too late.
Butler sprang out from behind to complete the steal, accelerated with all his strength to get rid of everyone and came to the front court, gliding and dunking to show off his skills.
56:52.
Gasol was a little annoyed. He was focused on confronting Garnett and was taken advantage of by this kid.
Nash reorganized the offense, Iguodala cut back and ran away, running out of opportunities. Nash passed the ball accurately and successfully connected. Garnett turned around to cover the defense.
Iguodala faked a real pass and found Gasol, who was unmarked. Gasol took a step forward and dunked with both hands to save face.
"Beautiful pass."
Gasol and Iguodala high-fived.
"This is the characteristic of Iguodala. Not only is he a defensive expert, but on the offensive end, his ability to move without the ball, attack the basket and handle the ball are all at the forefront of the league. Although his shooting is unstable, he is still trustworthy at critical moments."
Yang Yi said.
The Rockets attacked, and Jeremy Lin chose to go it alone this time.
He made a breakthrough on the right side and passed Nash to the inside to challenge McGee. McGee jumped high into the air to grab the hat, but the challenge failed.
McGee passed the ball to Nash, who caught the ball and turned around to counterattack.
Harden and Butler quickly returned to defense, but Nash took the lead on the Lakers' side, followed by Kobe and Iguodala.
The Lakers' third-line fast break, Nash passed the ball to the right, Iguodala started with an ejection, and reversed his bow to make a tomahawk dunk.
After landing, he yelled at the camera and slapped his chest hard with his right hand.
The one closest to Iguodala was Harden again. This familiar sense of pressure made Harden swallow his saliva and shrink his neck unconsciously.
No brother, let’s change the celebration. Are you paying tribute to that man? Why, after joining the team, you signed up to fuck me?
Jeremy Lin continued to break through. As the game progressed, Nash's physical strength declined, and the defensive end could not keep up with Jeremy Lin's speed.
Jeremy Lin burst in to change the Lakers' defense and found Garnett, who was unmarked near the free throw line. The latter caught the ball and shot a mid-range jumper.
"Bang!"
The basketball knocked out of the frame and McGee collected the rebound.
"McGee's Lakers debut was truly incredible. He didn't steal the show on the offensive end, and he worked hard on the defensive end. He did an excellent job of protecting the frame and rebounding."
Yu Jia's real-name praise should be said or not, but McGee, who has an online IQ, is really good.
Kobe came to the high post for a post-up, used his back to sense Butler's defensive position, turned around and feinted a shot, lit up Butler, and then stepped up and down to hit the shot.
56:56.
