Chapter 59 Genius is just the threshold to see me

four minutes...

three minutes……

Two minutes...

When the time came to 1 minute and 30 seconds, the score difference on the field was still 4 points. Even though Zheng Yang scored in various ways against the Kings, the score difference still existed.

Zheng Yang did not give up, and he had no reason to give up. There was still time, and they still had a chance.

In this offensive round, Zheng Yang did not rush to attack after receiving the ball. Instead, he leaned against Doug Christie and gasped for breath.

He was not reading the situation on the field, he was just taking this opportunity to rest for a while.

He was so tired that he could hardly stand up.

But in order to win, he has to grit his teeth and hold on!

There was not much time left for the attack, and Zheng Yang began to prepare for a singles play. He first dribbled twice, and then suddenly changed direction and broke through to the right.

Doug Christie was close to him, and Mike Bibby also hurried over to double-team him. Zheng Yang did not choose to force a shot, but passed the ball to Nash at the top of the arc.

There was not much time left for the attack, and Nash, who was in an open position, did not choose to pass the ball. He took a step to adjust and then shot a three-pointer.

Doug Christie also rushed over to defend, but it was too late!

The basketball from Nash's hand drew a perfect arc in the air and then hit the basket.

Nash raised three fingers and shot towards the basket, his face full of ferocity.

The man who would win two consecutive MVP awards in the future also revealed his killer instincts.

"Great job, Steve!"

Zheng Yang also shouted excitedly, this ball was really crucial.

It helped the Mavericks get a breath of fresh air and boosted their morale!

He let the Kings know that Zheng Yang is not the only one who can score in critical moments. If you want to double-team him, go ahead, others will make you pay the price.

In Game 22 of the 4nd Finals, Curry was like a god, scoring 43 points, but in the fourth quarter, Wiggins also made a three-pointer worth a thousand gold.

At that time, Curry carried the entire team forward, but at the critical moment, Wiggins made a three-pointer, and that ball represented much more than just a three-pointer.

It greatly boosted morale and let everyone know that there is more than just Curry who can score for the Warriors.

Nash's three-pointer is similar to Wiggins's three-pointer.

With the score difference reduced to only one point, the Kings dribbled across half court and then the ball was in Webber's hands. They played very cautiously.

At this time, a mistake means the end of the entire series.

The Kings players ran around frantically, but the Mavericks followed closely. The small lineup also has its advantages. They are very fast and can keep up with their opponents.

The Kings players' ability to break through the defense was not very good to begin with, and when the Mavericks were able to keep up with them, it was difficult for them to break through.

As the timer approached "0", Webber could only rely on himself to deal with this attack.

Standing in front of him was Fat Monk, a player he had played against countless times in this game and whose defensive moves he had already figured out.

Although he is also an All-Star, there is a huge difference between all-stars!

Weber, like before, punched in twice. In order to block the opponent, Fat Monk had to shift his center of gravity forward a little, but this was exactly what Weber wanted.

He turned around and scored the ball, and the score difference came to three points again!

With only 45 seconds left in the game, Nelson did not choose to call a timeout. He believed in his players and they would play well in this game.

The ball came into Zheng Yang's hands again. This time he pretended to rest and then suddenly started. Doug Christie was startled, but he quickly caught up.

After Zheng Yang broke through, he suddenly pulled back and retreated to the three-point line. At this moment, he was still three points away. Doug Christie's first thought was that the opponent was going to shoot a three-pointer.

Moreover, sudden stop and pull back is also a tactic commonly used by the opponent. Doug Christie, who defended Zheng Yang for five games, remembered it very clearly, so he jumped up instinctively.

But while Doug Christie was working on it, the latter was also improving.

When you thought he would pull back to shoot, when you thought he would choose to take a three-pointer, he did the opposite, bowed to the Buddha and rushed into the inside.

Although Divac and Webber were already waiting for him there, Zheng Yang was not afraid.

After he rushed to the inside, he jumped up, but did not shoot the ball immediately to prevent the opponent from blocking him.

Divac and Webber also jumped up, and their four long arms covered the sky and formed a big net. Zheng Yang's attack this time had no chance of scoring.

But until Divac and Webber began to land, Zheng Yang still did not make a shot.

Zheng Yang's shot this time was very late. To avoid being blocked, he waited until Divac and the others landed before he exerted force again in the air and threw the basketball out.

Although it sounds fantastic, it is indeed true.

Zheng Yang used his jumping and air-staying ability to avoid the opponent's block.

In the end, basketball is all about talent!

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket. At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded. It was a 2+1.

Although the referee had been targeting Zheng Yang in the first half, after Nowitzki left the court, the opponent's whistle became normal, and sometimes even special attention was given to Zheng Yang.

Divac hurried to the referee and said that he did not commit a foul, but the referee said that he violated Zheng Yang's cylinder and then began to prepare for free throws.

At the critical moment, Zheng Yang had a big heart and hit the target steadily.

The score between the two teams is tied!

Rick Adelman called the last timeout. They had to figure out how to play this ball! This ball could very well be the buzzer beater of the entire game.

During the timeout, old Nelson turned his attention to Fat Monk. The next defensive round would depend on Fat Monk.

It is difficult for the Kings to shake off their defenders at this moment, so they will most likely choose Webber to serve as the finishing point, just like in the last offensive round.

Therefore, whether Fat Monk can defend against the opponent becomes the key to this round.

Only by defending this round can they have a chance to kill their opponent.

"Trust me, coach! I won't let them score in my penalty area."

Although he was beaten countless times by Webber before, Fat Monk still said confidently at this moment, he is worthy of being a man who has a 26% three-point shooting percentage but is still keen on shooting three-pointers.

I’m afraid even Zheng Yang can’t match this kind of confidence!
After the timeout, the Kings passed the ball to Webber again, but just as Nelson expected, the Kings did not have any open opportunities, so Chris Webber chose to play one-on-one against Fat Monk.

Normally Webber would be nervous when playing a crucial ball, after all, he had so many painful experiences, but today he didn't feel nervous at all.

I really gained confidence from beating the Fat Monk, and I could almost say I could defeat him with ease.

Chris Webber: How do I lose this? I want to write a book!
He still used the same three tricks. He first struck twice inside, and when he felt the opponent's center of gravity change, he immediately turned around and attacked.

Just like before, everything went smoothly at first, but when the basketball was shot, the Fat Monk, who had been passed by him, caught up with him again.

His physical talent may indeed be average, but Webber's turnaround shot was not high, so the basketball was easily fanned away by Fat Monk.

His brain is indeed not very smart, but people often say that every failure makes one wiser. He has been beaten by Webber so many times, so he has learned some lessons.

Therefore, the defense just now was completely used to confuse the opponent in order to make him lower his vigilance. Obviously, Fat Monk did it very successfully.

After a scramble, the basketball was finally caught by Da Chou, who threw it to Zheng Yang. There were only three seconds left in the game. Zheng Yang hesitated for a moment and then rushed towards the opponent's half.

He didn't plan to call a timeout. Once the Kings re-established their defense, it would be very difficult for them to score given their current physical condition.

Might as well take this opportunity and give it a try!
Old Nelson saw what Zheng Yang meant and he also chose to believe him. It was because of Zheng Yang that the game could be played until the last minute. If he didn't believe him now, who else could he believe?

It was impossible to rush from the free throw line to the opponent's basket for a layup in three seconds, so when he ran to the three-point line and saw that time was about to run out, Zheng Yang made a shot like shooting an arrow while riding a horse.

Doug Christie followed behind and tried to escape, but he was a step too late. He could only stare at the flying basketball and pray that it wouldn't hit the target.

As long as they go into overtime, they will win the game.

The Mavericks are already at the end of their rope and they definitely won't make it through overtime.

The timer that indicated the time was running out made a harsh sound, but no one cared about it at the moment. Everyone was staring at the flying basketball, the players on the court, the fans on the sidelines, and the audience in front of the TV...

It happened in a flash. When the basketball flew out of Zheng Yang's hand, the trajectory was very straight without any ups and downs, only a refreshing sound of hitting the net.

The thud of the basketball falling to the ground was drowned out by the cheers of the Mavericks players, whose voices were so obvious and loud in the arena.

Because the other fans were silent, covering their faces with their hands in disbelief.

He’ll kill them all. That Zheng will kill them all!
Their playoff journey ended here, everything was over!
Tonight belongs to the Mavericks!
All the players on the bench rushed onto the court, surrounded Zheng Yang and shouted his name loudly.

Old Nelson on the sidelines showed a gentle smile. Although he had seen all kinds of big scenes, he was still excited by the scene before him.

Perhaps, this is the charm of basketball!
The Kings players only showed a lonely back to the camera, and Chris Webber's face was covered with a towel, his eyes soaked with tears.

He fell on the crucial ball again!

His road to the championship ends here. How many chances does he have to win the championship?

Every player in the league wants to win the championship, but there is only one championship trophy every year.

How charming that trophy is, how gorgeous that ring is, but on the way to it, so many corpses have to be stepped on.

It is a pity to never win a championship in your life, but it is also the norm in the league!
"Oh buzzer beater! Damn, Zheng buzzer beater killed the Kings, he used an unconventional shot to beat the Kings.

When Dirk was injured, Zheng stepped up. He did not give the Kings a chance to save the team. He waved to them and asked them to come back next season.

Oh please forgive my incoherent speech now because I am really shocked now, that buzzer beater was really amazing.

I didn't even see how he did it...

But it went in, it went in!

Tonight, Zheng is the god of this stadium!"

In the TNT studio, Barkley was almost going crazy. That buzzer-beater was so amazing. When Webber was blocked by Fat Monk and everyone thought the game was going to overtime, Zheng Yang rushed to the frontcourt and made a three-pointer.

The game is completely over!
Can those teams that missed Zheng Yang still sleep well tonight?
At this moment, in a house in Cleveland, James stood there in a daze, muttering to himself.

"Impossible, impossible, how could he have made such a decisive kill..."

The impact that buzzer-beater brought to James was so strong.

At that moment he truly felt the gap between himself and the other party.

Obviously... obviously the gap wasn’t that big before, and obviously... obviously I was training hard.

But why, why is the gap between us getting bigger and bigger?

Is this talent?

James, who had always crushed others in terms of talent, felt for the first time the gap in talent between himself and others.

In other words, Zheng Yang didn't know what was going on in his mind, otherwise he would have said to him: Genius is just the threshold to meet me!

If you don't play ball, you will see me like a frog in a well seeing the moon in the sky; if you play ball, you will see me like an ant seeing the blue sky.

Tonight, there is one more person who can't sleep...
