The Fifth Point Guard

Nowitzki, Terry and others gathered around head coach Avery Johnson.

"It's the last ball. There's no time. 70% goes to Shentong and 30% is in LeBron's hands. Josh, you keep an eye on LeBron, Doug and Jason. You two double-team Shentong. The rest of the players perform their duties." !”

"yes!"

"Let's take a win from here!"

"Ho~~~"

The pause ends.

Cavaliers players appear.

Gooden served from the sideline.

Shentong, James, Hardaway, and Smith stood on the court.

Shentong was double-teamed and unable to move, while James was stuck by Howard.

Because Terry double-teamed Shentong and Hardaway's presence was not high, there was no one around Hardaway at this moment.

Are pennies really so worthless?

According to Silas's tactical arrangement, Gooden's first choice for passing the ball was Shentong, and his second choice was James, just as the Mavericks expected.

Seeing that the five-second serving time was about to come, Gooden was sweating, but he really couldn't pass it out.

Because the Cavaliers have no timeouts, if the ball is not sent out, then it will only be a violation!

Seeing that the time was approaching, Hardaway roared and appeared in Gooden's sight.

Gooden quickly hit the ball to the ground and passed it out.

The basic skills of this ground pass are quite solid.

Hardaway received the pass and organized the attack from the outside.

Gooden let out a long breath and hurriedly ran to the inside.

Terry had to step out to defend Hardaway.

Shentong, who was left with only Christie to mark, quickly ran out of the gap.

Catch the ball, dribble, break through.

There are still 3 seconds left.

At this moment everyone knew that Shentong was going to make the final shot.

One, two, three, four, five!

The Mavericks actually rushed towards Shentong as a whole team.

When Shentong rushed to the baseline, turned around, jumped up and aimed at the basket, he was intercepted by Nowitzki, Howard and Christie!

Nowitzki's long arms really blocked the sky and completely blocked Shentong's shooting lane!

If Shentong attacks by himself, he must shoot a higher parabola, which is just a shooting route that Shentong has never practiced.

The confidence is only 30% of usual!

At this moment, Shentong suddenly saw JR Smith standing not far from him.

"Just hold it gently with your hands."

This is what STO said when he coached JR Smith to improve his three-point shooting.

Shentong's slightly hesitant eyes became firm.

Taking away the Mavericks' five-man defense, Shentong passed the ball to Smith next to him.

"Shentong passed the ball! He actually passed the ball!" Barkley shouted in surprise.

"JR has no time, he must take action!" Time and no wait, Smith also became nervous for the Cavaliers.

When Smith got the ball, there was only 1 second left.

There is perseverance in his eyes, his shooting posture is very standard, and his expression is extremely confident!

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes around the world are staring at the basketball spinning in the air.

Buckley's open mouth didn't close for a long time, and his mouth was leaking out.

Smith also stared at the live broadcast screen with his eyes widened.

"Uh-huh."

Smith's three-point buzzer-beater hit!

"The ball is in, the ball is in! JR received Shentong's pass and hit the buzzer beater. It's really amazing!" Barkley roared loudly in the live broadcast room.

"Yeah! Cleveland defeated Dallas, and the Cavaliers conquered the Mavericks, with a score of 2-0!" Smith continued.

On the court, Smith raised his hands.

The excitement of hitting the buzzer-beating ball for the first time actually made Smith forget how to celebrate.

At this time, Shentong, James and Wagner on the bench had already rushed out.

The three of them were doing various celebrations next to Smith, as if they were the three who hit the winning goal.

But it is obvious that at this moment, Shentong, James, and Wagner have turned into Smith's little fans to celebrate passionately.

It was JR who scored the goal, and it was the three of them who showed off.

Smith couldn't help but blurt out: "You guys are really good at stealing the spotlight."

As soon as they finished speaking, the four of them were pinned down by the other Cavaliers players.

On the sidelines, Paul Silas excitedly started to raise his legs in the air.

Her huge belly rose and fell as her legs swung.

The Cleveland media at the scene interviewed Silas immediately.

Reporter: "Congratulations, Paul, you are now leading the Dallas Mavericks 2-0 with a big score. In this game, you have a buzzer beater, and it was not made by STO or LeBron, but by JR Smith. Is this buzzer-beater a bit unexpected for you, or is it part of your strategy during the timeout?"

Silas showed a serious expression and said: "Everything is under my control. Otherwise, think about it, why did I replace JR in the last offensive round of the game? He is our secret weapon, I know he With this ability, he just lacked an opportunity. Shentong attracted all their defense on the court, so when he found JR appearing in the open space, he immediately passed the ball to him without hesitation. We all know that JR can do it. .”

Smith, who overturned the crowd from the bottom and stood up, had to endure the head-butting attacks from the crowd.

At this moment, he is a hero in Cleveland!

But in fact, in the final attack, both Hardaway and Smith made contributions.

Last season, they were not part of Cleveland.

The Mavericks players endured the blow of being defeated and quickly left the court without saying a word.

They don’t want to see their opponents celebrating.

But Avery Johnson still accepted the interview very gentlemanly.

Reporter: "It's a pity that you were only 15 seconds away from victory. When the Cavaliers paused, didn't you think that the final buzzer beat was completed by JR Smith?"

Johnson replied: "To be honest, JR's last shot really surprised us. We thought Shentong would take the shot at the end anyway, so when we saw Shentong get the ball, everyone jumped on it. This was the unanimous opinion we reached during the timeout, but obviously Shentong made a correct decision. He passed the ball to the correct teammate and then completed the buzzer beater. We played very well in this game, but we just lacked A little bit of luck, I believe that luck will come back to us when we return to Dallas."

The Cavaliers, who headed to Dallas 2-0, did not expect that Johnson's words would come true.

The Mavericks playing at home really got lucky.

They were all the beneficiaries of several controversial calls.

And at a critical moment in the fourth quarter, Josh Howard, who had already gone out of bounds, saved the ball that had not yet landed on the court, and Nowitzki scored 2+1 under the basket.

In the face of protests from the Cavaliers, the referee ruled that the goal was valid and an additional penalty was required.

This goal completely changed the course of the game.

The Cavaliers lost to the Mavericks 95-105 and were pulled back by their opponents.

After the game, the entire Cavaliers team expressed strong protest against the referee's decisions during the game.

Paul Silas even spoke directly, angrily criticizing the referee on duty for accepting illegal money.

"This is the dirtiest game in the history of the NBA. We had our hands tied during the game while they could hold weapons. The referee ignored the facts several times and pushed us into the abyss. We must protest. I officially Ask the league to review this game! We need to create a fair and just environment."

In the fourth game, all referees were replaced.

The alliance obviously took Silas's words seriously.

After all, he is the best coach of the season, and the protests on the Internet about this game even broke out on the Internet.

Netizens from abroad left messages directly on the message board of the NBA official website. If the referees are allowed to make nonsense, they will launch a boycott of watching the NBA.

This clearly frightened the league.

In a fair and just environment, the Cavaliers and the Mavericks were inseparable on the road.

One side knows that if it can return to the home court with a score of 3-1, then there is a high probability that the championship will be won.

The other side is eager to tie the score to 2-2, so that both sides will return to the same starting line, and the momentum will be on their side.

At the last moment of the game, James received Shentong's pass and scored the ball in a layup, which also caused Dampier to foul.

The Cavaliers tied the game at 93 with only 2 seconds left in the game.

James still has a chance to make a free throw.

But maybe there was too much pressure. The preparation time at the free throw line was obviously longer than usual, and James' shot came out of the basket!

Just when people thought it was about to enter overtime, Smith appeared unexpectedly and grabbed a priceless rebound among a bunch of long men!

When James raised his hands, preparing for Smith's tip-in, the latter unexpectedly ran away from him while dribbling the ball.

No one knows what Smith is thinking at this moment.

But looking at the excited expression on his face, James thought he had misjudged the score.

It wasn't until the buzzer sounded at the end of the game and the referee made a gesture that the game entered overtime that James knew that it was not him who was short-circuited, but Smith.

The furious James immediately walked up to Smith, with a look of resentment on his face, and shouted loudly: "Why don't you shoot? Man, there is no winner in the game!"

Smith was also stunned.

"I thought."

Before Smith could answer, James shook his head dejectedly and returned to the bench, sitting down on the bench.

Under the influence of James, the other Cavaliers players remained silent.

The scene was a little lifeless for a while.

"Bah bang bang."

Shentong suddenly clapped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Hey, guys, what's going on? People who don't know thought we lost. We will have to play overtime soon. It's not that we regret it now. If you want to regret it, you can stay and show this behavior to me after we lose in overtime!"

Shentong's words were so resounding that everyone immediately raised their heads, including James.

"Have you forgotten who brought us the victory in the second game? Moreover, if JR hadn't grabbed the rebound of the ball just now, Dallas would have had time to call a timeout and execute the final attack. Maybe we would have been defeated by our opponent by now. The game is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen before the game is over! So I think JR’s rebound just now is a great achievement, enough to compete with the offensive opportunity just discarded.”

The team boss spoke out to defend Smith, which prevented others from making irresponsible remarks about Smith's behavior just now.

"Cheer up! The game is not over yet. We must turn our grief and anger into strength and give them a good look in overtime!"

"That's right!" Wagner responded first.

With the boss's cheering and the third child's support, the other players immediately came out of their low morale.

Even James stood up and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone, it was my problem just now. It all started because I missed the free throw in the end. If it hadn't been for that free throw, the following things would not have happened."

Shentong walked up to James, hugged James' arm and smiled: "What are you talking about, LeBron, if you hadn't made a layup at the last moment, we might not have even had a chance to enter overtime."

Shentong's eyes swept over everyone one by one.

Calmness, calmness and confidence are all conveyed to the Cavaliers' teammates through Shentong's eyes.

This is the power of leadership!

Then, Shentong walked up to Smith and said something that would affect Smith's career.

"Follow me, it doesn't matter. I'll help you win."

After saying this, Smith almost burst into tears.

From this moment on, Smith can do anything for Shentong. If anyone dares to say that Shentong is not good, Smith will definitely make that person regret it.

Overtime was still brutal.

The score difference between the two sides never exceeded 2 points.

The youth of the Cavaliers versus the tenacity of the Mavericks.

No one took a step back.

Before the end, STO dribbled the ball near the center circle to control the time.

The score is 101-103, the Cavaliers have the ball.

Shentong crossed over and dribbled, and the crossover changed direction significantly and passed Christie.

Terry and Howard's double defense was passed through the middle by Shen Tong Tai Chi!

Mavericks coach Johnson was anxious.

"Foul puts him on the free throw line!"

Nowitzki had to be ruthless.

Even Dampier stepped up.

Before Shentong could take off, he was pinned down by two big men from the Mavericks.

They are too scared.

I am afraid that STO will tie 2+1 at the last minute.

Because of his domineering eyes.

Johnson let out a long breath. He felt that if the ball hadn't been fouled, STO would have really scored 2+1 and taken away the victory.

In the final moments, every frame and every second, both sides are competing for wits and courage.

Shentong went to the free throw line.

Facing the Mavericks' all-out defense today, STO still scored 33 points.

After playing for a full 50 minutes, he was too tired.

The Mavericks players raised their hands to signal the home fans to make noise.

STO must make two free throws to drag the game into the second overtime.

Surprisingly, STO missed the first free throw!

Barkley said bluntly: "He is too tired. He tried his best in this game. Anyone who plays for 50 minutes in such a high-intensity game may lose the feeling of shooting. It is not his fault."

Smith said: "In this case, the Cavaliers will be quite dangerous. There are only 3 seconds. STO must score this free throw first, and then the Cavaliers will immediately commit a foul. If the opponent makes two free throws, they must also make three more shots." points can lead to the second overtime.”

Barkley shook his head and said: "This is too difficult. We are in Dallas after all. The longer the game drags on, the worse it will be for the Cavaliers."

Shentong hooked the ball with his right hand at his waist, looked at the basket, and let out a long breath.

Then, after dribbling the ball twice, Shentong slowly raised his hand and threw the ball toward the basket.

"when"
