As long as one of Kobe's free throws is interfered with, the Nets will only be one goal away!

"Dang!"

Then Kobe really missed his first free throw!

This moment made Swift so happy that she grabbed a handful of popcorn from the audience and performed her famous "Goddess Scattering Flowers" on the spot.

This moment was greeted by bursts of cheers from the fans.

The Lakers' number one fan is Nicholson, and now the Nets also have their own number one fan!

Moreover, it is obviously more bearable!

Phil Jackson called a timeout.

Although there are only 9.58 seconds left in the game, he must respond to the current situation, otherwise if the victory is taken away, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the Lakers.

After the timeout, Kobe continued to shoot free throws.

This time, Kobe's mood adjusted back. No matter how much Swift and the others interfered, his expression did not change at all.

"Whoa!"

Kobe Bryant's second free throw.

Then the Nets sent the ball here, and Lin Ying was directly fouled by the Lakers as soon as he got it.

Because the number of fouls has already reached, this is equivalent to sending Lin Ying directly to the free throw line.

Leading by 3 points, active foul.

Phil Jackson's tactical intention of this timeout is ready to come out.

It's a penalty shootout!

There are so many options in this situation that a textbook could be written.

There are cases where people who did not choose foul tactics were absolutely tied. There are many such examples.

There are also those who choose foul tactics and end up getting themselves out of the way, which I can't explain.

But in general, whether the choice is right or wrong depends entirely on the coach's judgment.

Phil Jackson is obviously confident in the Lakers' sideline ball tactics and the team's free throw shooting level.

Lin Ying went to the free throw line.

The Prudential Center was extremely quiet at this time, and the fans were afraid that making any noise would affect Lin Ying's free throws.

This kind of quietness is actually a kind of pressure.

Lin Ying adjusted his breathing.

"Whoa!"

One free throw, hit.

"Whoa!"

Both free throws were solid hits!

It is impossible to be soft-hearted at critical moments.

And after making both free throws, he already scored 8 points at the last minute.

What followed was a penalty shootout.

Phil Jackson's confidence is indeed justified, because the Lakers have shown absolute stability in both the execution of sideline ball tactics and Kobe's free throws.

This is what a championship team has.

However, the Nets are also a stable team. Deron can always deliver the ball to Lin Ying's hands, and Lin Ying can always withstand the pressure and send the ball in.

but!

The balance of victory has been infinitely tilted towards the Lakers.

Because every serve and foul consumes limited time.

After Kobe Bryant fouled Lin Ying again, there was less than 3 seconds left before the end of the game!

Although Kobe Bryant's foul caused him to leave the game with 6 fouls, Phil Jackson's tactics have been successfully implemented, and the balance of victory has completely tilted towards the Lakers!

The expressions of the fans at the scene were also very complicated at this moment.

On the one hand, it is an affirmation of the ability of one's own team. As a team that underwent major changes during the offseason, it is worthy of respect to be able to compete with the Lakers to this extent.

On the other hand, there is really no way to deal with a team with strong execution like the Lakers. If it were another team, the Nets would have won if they made one mistake.

Lin Ying's first penalty.

A piece of data is printed on the LED display.

Since the game entered the last 35 seconds, Lin Ying has scored 10 points.

That included a 2+1, a three-pointer, and then four consecutive free throws.

It was at this time that Lin Ying turned around and determined the number of timeouts for the team with Deron outside the three-point line, and then asked Deron to run to communicate with Johnson.

Lin Ying's first free throw was a solid hit.

Then the Nets called the final timeout.

It was this pause that made everyone extremely nervous.

This also includes Yao Ming who is far away in Dallas.

Because Lin Ying already scored 11 points in the last 35 seconds!

Tracy McGrady's miracle cannot be replicated because it requires the cooperation of the opponent.

If Popovich had used a penalty kick tactic at the time, McGrady would have had no chance to shoot the second one after hitting the first three-pointer from the outside.

Now Phil Jackson has obviously learned Popovich's lesson and doesn't give the Nets a chance to shoot three-pointers at all.

But it was precisely because of this adjustment that Lin Ying increased his score with free throws.

Now as long as Lin Ying scores another 2 points, the miracle that was considered impossible to replicate will really happen again!

After the timeout, Lin Ying continued to shoot free throws.

Because time is running out, the Nets only have two options at this time.

One is to score a penalty, and then gamble on a steal;

The second is to intentionally miss a free throw, then make a tip-in to tie the game, or make a three-pointer to win the game.

But the chances are slim no matter which one you choose.

Lin Ying took a long breath.

He chose...the second one!

The execution ability of this Lakers team is so strong that you don't want to bet on him making mistakes anymore.

He imitated Yao Ming's free throw and aimed directly at the front of the basket.

This is definitely a technical job, because the basket is much bigger than you think, but rebounding a point is not the same level of difficulty.

And you can't be too obvious. If you are too obvious, you will be whistled by the referee for intentionally missing a free throw.

But at this point, it’s basically just a gamble on luck.

Lin Ying took action.

Everyone at the free throw line is rushing to the basket.

The Lakers definitely don't want the Nets to get this rebound. If Chandler gets it, they will immediately foul Chandler and send him to the free throw line.

As for the Nets, they have to grab this rebound no matter what, otherwise they will have no chance.

"Crack!"

Finally, Chandler got the offensive rebound!

Another priceless offensive rebound. His salary of 13 million+ was not for nothing!

Then, an almost famous scene occurred on the field.

Why do I say almost? It's because Jason Smith under the basket just stuck Chandler and didn't choose to foul!

At this time, Paul, who was rushing to the basket, was already jumping in a hurry.

Send Chandler to the free throw line. It is basically impossible for Chandler to make two free throws at this moment.

But Jason Smith didn’t know whether it was because he was also named Smith, or because he was possessed by Jordan, so he didn’t react!

In the next moment, Chandler reacted quickly and threw the ball directly towards Lin Ying, who was running towards the three-point line after making the free throw.

The ball has been passed!

Lin Ying turned around while running, and when he caught the ball, he flew directly towards the Lakers bench and shot backward.

Paul fought hard to save.
