Chapter 65: I'm Here, I'll Kill You
Paul George's eyes were determined.
Looking at the little time left on the timer, he said to Westbrook and Anthony:
"Wait for the three-point line, give me a chance."
George does have the ability to kill the game.
As his teammates, Anthony and Westbrook naturally have full confidence in his abilities.
The two nodded.
That's what I mean!
Here, Anthony took over Westbrook's half-court ball and advanced to the three-point line looking for opportunities!
At this time, you absolutely cannot attack from the inside!
Because if the opponent doesn't defend your inside scoring, he won't give you any chance to make a two plus one.
So, once the opponent has the ball, they just need to waste time to win the game!
Therefore, the Thunder's Big Three all positioned themselves at the three-point line.
Two players were left in the interior to fight for rebounds, trying to get a second chance.
Anthony's triple threat on the three-point line is now only two threats: passing threat and shooting threat!
And, in Sashiro's defense, Sashiro is confident that he can completely block Anthony's attack!
But this time, Anthony wanted to shoot many times. Seeing that the situation was not good, he chose to pass the ball to Westbrook behind him without hesitation.
But Westbrook didn't seem to be planning to shoot.
After a pick-and-roll, he successfully switched off Sashiro's defense.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense!!
Everyone thought, is Anthony going to shoot this time? After all, there is a huge open space in front of Anthony!
Even the Lakers' defensive players at this time rushed forward nervously because they feel the same way.
Anthony must shoot this time!!
But Sashiro saw it.
Anthony wasn't going to shoot at all; it was a trap!!
"Don't rush him! He's going to pass the ball!!"
At this moment, the defender had been tricked by Anthony and jumped up.
They heard Sashiro's words at this time, but it was too late!!
Anthony's mouth curled up slightly.
He gave a smile that showed a successful trick.
Then, a perfect ground pass was delivered directly to Paul George in the corner – vacant seat!
Paul George is ready to shoot!
However, the moment Sashiro saw Anthony about to pass the ball, he rushed over directly.
George saw Sashiro preparing to block him, and he hesitated for a moment.
And it was this moment of hesitation that let Sashiro successfully defend in front of George!!
George's heart tightened.
However, there were only four seconds left.
He knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer!
Voted!!
So, George faced Sashiro's newly-positioned defense and made a direct shot!
In slow motion, we can see that even though Sashiro ran over from behind, his defense was already quite good!
In order to avoid Sashiro's block, Paul George has bent his body to an extremely outrageous state.
This is no longer a fadeaway jump shot; lying down is almost the same!!
And it is precisely because of this that the shooting angle of this ball has been greatly changed!!
The angle of Paul George's shot clearly deviated from the basket.
Everyone was sweating with fear.
The fans of the Lakers didn't want this goal to go in, while the fans of the Thunder kept praying that this goal would go in!
This time, God seemed to be on the side of the Thunder.
The ball hit the backboard and changed direction.
It fell directly into the basket.
gone!
The ball went in!!
And just at this moment, the referee blew the whistle at the same time!
"drop!"
"The cylinder was violated, the goal is valid, and one penalty is awarded!"
...
!!!!
If you talk about it in detail, this ball did violate Paul George's cylinder a little bit.
but, this is indeed a bit strict!
This kind of penalty is not appropriate!!
Especially at this moment, a penalty can even determine the outcome of the game!!
At this time, Paul George's three-pointer had directly tied the score.
If this free throw is scored again at this time... then this will be the goal that kills the game!!
At this time, the commentator also said:
"Could there really be such a shocking reversal in this game!?"
"George's free throw shooting percentage this season can be said to be very high, and he will make the ball with a high probability."
"Is... this game really going to end with the Thunder's victory?"
"It seems that this is really the case."
"This is really unexpected! It seems that this time, God is on the side of Thunder."
Paul George walked to the free throw line amid the cheers of countless Thunder fans.
He patted the ball twice.
Take a deep breath.
Then, looking at the basket, Paul George raised his hand easily.
There was only a shua sound.
Score steadily!!
At this moment, everyone in the Thunder's audience and on the bench was very excited!
In fact, they have already started celebrating their victory in advance!!
The Lakers' offensive time was less than ten seconds.
This is too difficult!
Want to complete a full-court attack in this amount of time is too difficult!!
At this time, Paul George ran to Sashiro and said:
"Hey, you guys played well, but we still won the game."
Sashiro smiled at him, then pointed at the timer and said:
"See how much time is left?"
George was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Sashiro smiled mysteriously, and then said, "I will kill you here!"
For a moment, George thought he had misheard.
He looked down at his feet. Wasn't this the midfield of the game?
Kill me here?
You must be dreaming!
And there's only so much time left, and if you get into our half, we can even foul you and force you to serve the ball again.
You don't stand a chance!!
George didn't take Sashiro's words seriously at all.
Here, Sashiro holds the ball and starts attacking.
The Thunder's Big Three saw them advancing slowly, but they were not in a hurry and slowly retreated with them, always maintaining a safe distance.
Just as Sashiro crossed half court, Sashiro suddenly passed the ball.
This stunned the Big Three and the audience present.
What is this for?
Why did the ball stop?
Then, in their confused gazes, Sashiro pointed to his feet.
This was exactly the location he had just mentioned to George!
George was startled.
Could it be that he...!
Wanna shoot there?!
Sashiro didn't hesitate and took action directly here!
call out!
For this shot, Sashiro did not use Midorima's super long three-point experience card.
Because of his legendary basketball touch and that period of hard training, Sashiro has confidence in himself.
It's just this distance.
No problem!
After Sashiro released the ball, it flew toward the basket at a perfect angle.
Accompanied by the sound of the end of the game.
The ball went in!!
Sashiro looked calm and said to the confused George and the Thunder:
"I told you I will kill you right here."
!!!
The commentators at the scene were all crazy; no one thought that this goal would actually go in!!
The Thunder never expected that the victory they had in hand would just fly away like that!!
"I'm sorry, I take back what I said."
The commentator calmed down his excitement and said into the microphone:
"Nothing unexpected will happen."
"because."
"Sashiro is here, no surprises!!"
