Chapter 78
A few moments.
Return from pause
"In the last 2.3 seconds, the Lakers have the ball, is it a buzzer beater, or is it going into overtime, or is it?......Is there an even more unexpected reversal? let us wait and see."
O'Neal looked excited and spoke quickly.
On the court.
The Lakers replaced Randall, who was a general shooter, and replaced him with Lu Wei. Su Hao came to the sideline of the center circle and was ready to serve.
O'Neal frowned and said:"Let Su Hao serve. What did Byron Scola think? Su Hao already scored 48 points tonight.
Why not let him perform the final attack?"
"hehe.
Barkley smiled and asked:"Shaquille, when you were playing, didn't you give it to Kobe or Dwyane Wade at the critical moment?"!"
"Ah this..."
O'Neal was stunned.
Barkley continued,"Su Hao is indeed very strong, but he is good at rushing the basket, and now there is only 2.3 seconds, which is too short.
It is not enough for him to complete a complete breakthrough.
So......Let him serve the ball, let Kobe, Lou Williams or Clarkson take the last shot, the chance of winning the game will be greater."
"Okay~"
O'Neal curled his lips and agreed with Barkley's statement.
On the court, the last 2.3 seconds played.
Su Hao took the ball and prepared to serve. Kobe, Clarkson and Lu Wei covered each other and ran, preparing to go out and catch the ball..
However, the Timberwolves also know that
LaVine, Wiggins, Towns and others are all watching, not allowing the Lakers to receive shots from outside.
"Wow!"
At this time, Su Hao decisively took the ball.
Who to look for?
Kobe? Clarkson? Or Lu Wei?...Neither. This time, Su Hao passed the ball directly to Jokic who was at the free throw line.
"To center Jokic who has no basket?! I'm afraid it will take overtime!"
Barkley has not yet finished speaking.
""Wow!"
Jokic threw the basketball directly into the air above the basket the moment he caught the ball.
Barkley's eyes widened,"What? Pass the ball? There's no one under the basket, wow~ No, there's Su Hao, when did he go over there?
Boom!
Su Hao's slam dunk, buzzer beater!!!"
Buzz!
This scene happened too fast and too suddenly. No one expected that Su Hao, who served the ball, would rush to the basket for an slam dunk at the same time as serving the ball.
As a result, all the Timberwolves players didn't react.
When they came to their senses, the time had already passed, and at the same time.........Su Hao also completed an alley-oop dunk and beat the Timberwolves at the buzzer!
"Oh no!"
"how so?!"
"Didn't that boy Su Hao serve? When did he run to the basket?!"
"Can we still play like this?"
"I said......Why did they let such a good player serve the ball from the sideline? It turned out to be to distract our attention and give him a chance to make an alley-oop shot!"
"This guy Byron Scott is amazing!"
"I'm such a direct guy!!!"
"......"
The home fans were all stunned.
Led by Towns and Wiggins, the Timberwolves players were also stunned, and felt like they were being played, but they could do nothing about it.
Because.
The buzzer beater had already happened.
The Timberwolves lost the game
"Damn it!"
Tang Si clenched his fists tightly, his face full of black lines
"Hum~"
On the Lakers bench, Scott crossed his arms across his chest, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a strategizing look,"Everything is under control, everything is expected."
In the commentary box
"Hahaha!"
O'Neal smiled and said:"Byron's tactics are really amazing. It really exceeded my expectations. I believe it also exceeded the expectations of the Timberwolves. but.
The effect seems to be good.
There was no overtime in the game. With Jokic and Su Hao's alley-oop slam dunk, the Timberwolves were defeated at the buzzer and won.
Won the 11th consecutive victory of the season!"
"Yes."
Barkley responded, and then said:"This is Su Hao's first buzzer-beater in his career, and it was an alley-oop buzzer-beater, which is really gratifying!
In addition, although the Timberwolves lost tonight, they played really well. It's rare to see such a full-strength game and realize their talents.
To be honest,
I still feel a little bit sorry that they played like this in their home court and lost in the end."
"pity?!"
O'Neal blinked and said:"I think it's a pity that their explosion caused the Timberwolves and Lakers to stalemate until the end.
This is already the limit.
If you want to win, you still need a little more energy."
"Um?
Barkley frowned slightly and asked doubtfully:"Shaquille, why do you say that? What do you mean?""
"Well..."
O'Neill thought for a moment and then said,"I want to say......The talent of the Timberwolves players is indeed amazing, but......Andrew Wiggins doesn't want to play, Zach LaVine is unstable.
Karl-Anthony Towns is too young, Ricky Rubio doesn't have a basket, Kevin Garnett? He's going to retire, so of course we can't count on him.
In short, because they are too young, these players don't have key shots.
So......This season, and even last season, the Timberwolves were full of talent and often played good-looking games, but in the end they were unable to kill the game.
Resulting in frequent losses.
It's because they don't have a big heart.
At critical moments, you can't put the basketball in the basket, and tonight was the same. In the end, Andrew and Zach's performance was average.
If Towns hadn't hit the magical 3+1, this game would have been over.
On the other hand, look at the Lakers.
Season so far.
They also had several games and ended up in crisis.
But Su Hao, the"Son of Zhou Xuan", although he is a rookie, has a strong"big heart" ability and the ability to make key goals.
In those decisive moments, hit those shots and help your team win. in addition.
Kobe also has the ability to have a"big heart", and as the team leader, he will definitely continue to inspire his teammates and give them more confidence to face difficulties!
The two are blessed, so......This is one of the reasons why the Lakers keep winning!!!"
"That's right~"
Barkley nodded, then took over and said,"In short, because of Su Hao, because of this talented rookie.
This year's Lakers have become a dark horse with great momentum.
Now they have won 11 consecutive games and continue to maintain their undefeated record this season.
And the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory tonight is Su Hao.
With this alley-oop buzzer-beating buzzer-beater, Su Hao scored 50 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks tonight.
Brandon Jennings became the youngest 50-point man in history at the age of 20 with 55 points in a single game in his rookie season in 2009.
Now.
Su Hao, at the age of 19, scored 50 points and successfully surpassed Brandon to become the new youngest 50-point man in NBA history!!!"
