The Godfather of Basketball

In the previous life, the Rockets once played an exciting 22-game winning streak.

In Game 8 of that 22-game winning streak, Novak beat the Kings with a three-pointer.

Novak in his previous life was purely a spot-up shooter, luck was part of his ability to hit the game-winning shot, but it also showed the stability of his shooting.

After all, at the countdown stage, the players on the court are all rushing to the top, basically relying on instinct to play.

Back from the timeout, the Cavaliers made substitution adjustments, and Novak replaced Artest.

There was a commotion at the scene.

This is Novak's first appearance in the Cavaliers, but it is at such a critical moment.

Mike Woodson, the coach of the opposite Eagles, stared blankly.

But he is not Thibodeau after all, and did not call a timeout.

After the timeout, James dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, with his back against Smith, looking at his watch from time to time.

The Cavaliers are pressing the time of the last attack.

"Pay attention to your defenders!" Woodson yelled from the sidelines. Not calling a timeout didn't mean he wasn't afraid. Tang Tian was a well-known coach in the league.

When the time came to the countdown of 10 seconds, James turned around, took the ball and rushed directly to the basket.

Rasheed Wallace has pulled to the high pick-and-roll.

At the same time, Novak gave Matthews an off-the-ball pick-and-roll, and Green landed in the bottom corner.

This is a tactic similar to the previous round.

Cavaliers want 3 points?

Almost instantly, such thoughts flashed through the minds of everyone on the field.

Including Woodson.

James went deep, almost bulldozing Horford.

wrong!

Tang Tian will not be so simple!

The Cavaliers are going to play overtime!

"Basket!" Woodson rushed to shout.

James took the ball and took off, and the Eagles' defense shrank rapidly.

At this moment, James, who jumped up, turned around in the air and slammed the ball to the right at a 45-degree angle!

Still pass!

Over there, Novak has withdrawn to the right three-point line at this time.

The Eagles' defense shrank, and it was too late to withdraw.

When people arrive, the ball arrives.

James' pass was perfect.

Novak catches the ball, takes off, and makes a shot.

It's like the movements he has trained countless times.

Numerous training sessions have already formed a habit in his muscles.

He only has eyes for the basket.

There was an inexplicable silence at the scene.

The spinning basketball attracted everyone's attention.

Go over the highest point.

across the parabola.

"Shua!"

There was a crisp sound.

Novak's three-pointer, go in!

"yeah!"

Almost instantly, bursts of cheers erupted from the scene.

In!

Novak really put in!

I didn't play for a minute before, played for a few seconds, and hit a lore three-pointer!

The players on the Cavaliers field surrounded Novak and yelled loudly.

"This is a miracle!"

The commentator at the scene couldn't help shouting.

The bench on the sidelines of the Cavaliers was also completely boiling, and the towel was flying up.

This lore goal is really soul-stirring!

Tang Tian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Three years ago, when he was the interim head coach of the Rockets, Novak did not let him down.

Three years have passed, and many things have changed, but Novak's cold-blooded three-pointer has not changed.

The Eagles called a timeout, and they only had 1 second left.

"Coach." James smiled and gave Tang Tian a thumbs up when he left the court.

He really doesn't like to listen to most of the coaches, because sometimes those coaches' understanding of basketball is not as good as his, but the ball just now, this kind of courage and determination, really refuses to accept it.

Tang Tian nodded to James, then picked up the tactical board.

"We're going to defend the last round."

The Cavaliers have done enough to press the time to the last 1 second.

But in 1 second, the Eagles still have a lore chance.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers made another substitution adjustment, and Brown replaced Novak.

Standing on the court, Brown stands under the basket, and others follow his defenders closely.

The Eagles ran a free-throw line play where player after player ran out, mostly feints.

The Cavaliers don't care, they just talk to the defenders.

Horford didn't pick and roll and went straight to the basket.

Woodson played a routine, using running positions to attract the defense, and prepared to play an alley-oop lore.

Carter had completed a similar lore in 2008, and it only took 0.9 seconds.

This is a stroke of genius.

But Brown didn't move under the basket at this time, holding his hands high, directly locked the opportunity.

Seeing this, Bibby made the free throw and could only choose to give the ball to Johnson.

Johnson received the ball, stepped back and made the kill.

But at the moment when he leaned back, James fell from the sky like a goshawk pouncing a rabbit.

"Snapped!"

With a slap, Johnson's shot was slapped out of the field.

"beep!"

The final whistle sounded from the sidelines.

James blocks the lore!

The scene was once again boiling.

A soul-stirring game, watching people's blood boil.

After James blocked the block, he roared twice in excitement, and then chest-bumped and high-fived with his teammates one by one.

It's quite cool to beat the competition in this way.

After the game, James accepted an interview with reporters on the scene.

When asked about the team's last offensive choice, "Little Emperor" laughed and said: "I don't know, it was the coach's arrangement, I just did what the coach said."

James' answer obviously did not satisfy the reporters. During the post-match press conference, another reporter mentioned this question.

"Coach, why did you choose Novak? He didn't play before. I think Matthews or Green are better choices, or James also had the opportunity to score the ball directly at that time."

Tang Tian also guessed that the reporter would definitely ask such a question, and said calmly, "That's his job."

"Aren't you afraid that he won't make the shot?"

"Then I don't think anyone can make a shot. In that case, he is the best in the league."

The reporter froze for a moment, so pretentious!

But I don't know how to refute it. After all, Tang Tian really arranged it like this, and Novak did throw the ball in.

"Yes, I think the coach is right. During training, I haven't seen Novak miss a three-pointer. Well, not one." James continued, thinking about it when he spoke.

There was a commotion among the reporters below after hearing this.

Because of Tang Tian, ​​Novak scored 297 in the first 300. In an interview after the game, he also said that the bad feeling today has not happened.

But what James said was even scarier than that.

Novak has come to the team not long ago, at least it has been more than a month?

Even if James didn't keep an eye on Novak's training all the time, but didn't see a missed three-pointer, what a horrible shooting percentage!

Now, they realized that Tang Tian's words just now were not pretending.

Matthews or Green's three-pointers at critical moments are not as stable as Wallace, an old future.

And Wallace's three-pointer is not as accurate as Novak's pervert!

Invisible pretense!
