Chapter 662 Overtime: Is Wang Xiu exhausted?
Halliburton only heard half of the sentence.
If the opponent is going to shoot, what happens next?
He really wanted to turn around and ask whether it was a foul or two points.
But there was no time for him to do that.
The clock is ticking.
The entire Pacers team was highly focused on defending their own man.
Facing Halliburton, Wang Xiucheng ran towards the bottom corner again.
Dillon passed the ball to Durant, who came over to receive it.
This prevented the Pacers players from fouling.
There were still 8 seconds left, and they were more than happy to see the time run out.
Alternatively, if Durant drives into the paint and scores two points, that would also be a very good result.
As long as I don't shoot three-pointers, anything is fine!
Two more seconds were elapsed.
Wang Xiucheng, who was moving towards the bottom corner, suddenly turned around and ran towards the top of the arc.
Halliburton, who had been watching him closely, immediately began to push Wang Xiucheng outwards, making him move towards the sideline and away from the three-point line.
Dillon, who passed the ball to Durant, happened to run over there and blocked Haliburton.
Halliburton was pushed out of his place, and he shouted a protest, but immediately stopped himself.
Because Wang Xiucheng had already received the ball at that moment.
Nemhardt had already run past Westbrook, intending to foul Wang Xiucheng.
However, Wang Xiucheng managed to throw the basketball before Nemhardt arrived.
The net shot out like a shooting star!
Nemhard watched helplessly as Wang Xiucheng released the basketball, so he braked with all his might, not giving Wang Xiucheng a chance to fake a foul.
If Xiu Cheng, the basketball king, actually makes the shot, then the score will be tied.
However, if I were to encounter Wang Xiucheng, the referee would likely call a foul on me, giving Wang Xiucheng a chance to receive a penalty.
This is something Nemhard cannot accept.
Having finally stopped, Nemhard heard a swish behind him as the sound of a basketball going through the net.
Did that ball go in?
Even though she already knew the answer, Nemhard still looked back.
The basketball bounced slightly off the floor.
The net, like splashes of water, is swaying!
With a whistle, the referee blew his whistle.
Nemhard broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
He turned back to look at the referee, his voice trembling slightly.
Then, Nemhard saw the referee make the gesture to end the match.
This made Nemhard's legs go weak, and he almost squatted down.
Damn, that scared the hell out of me!
118:118.
The score is tied, so overtime is needed!
Carlisle glanced at Udoka across from him with a gloomy face.
This guy would rather have the game rot in his hands than use it!
This prevented Carlisle from finalizing his tactical plan.
What he was shouting on the sidelines just now was: don't let the opponent shoot three-pointers, and don't give them two-pointers either. If they try to shoot, foul them immediately!
But clearly his players didn't hear the tactic.
Carlisle clapped his hands, took the tactical board, and laid out his tactics for overtime.
On the other side, Wang Xiucheng plopped down in a chair and took a big gulp of the drink.
As always, Udoka was discussing tactics with his men on the field.
Half a minute later, Uduka returned.
Without even taking a clipboard, Udoka said directly, "Russell, you have the ball. Everyone else, get moving. Watch your fouls and don't commit unnecessary fouls."
Udoka pointed at Dillon.
Dillon has already committed 5 fouls tonight.
If the referee hadn't been lenient, Dillon would have been off the field long ago.
With a whistle, the referee blew his whistle.
Overtime has begun.
Turner won the ball first and passed it to Siakam.
Siakam then passed the ball to Haliburton.
For the first ball, Haliburton prepared to play cautiously.
So this time he passed the ball to Turner again.
This time, Towns, having had a short rest, was full of energy and forced Turner to pass the ball to Siakam.
Siakam surprisingly took a step back and shot a three-pointer over Durant.
Unfortunately, the ball slammed against the rim with a thud and bounced back.
Durant caught the ball, dribbled it a couple of times, and then passed it to Dillon next to him.
Wang Xiucheng lagged slowly at the back, with Haliburton always stuck between Wang Xiucheng and the basketball.
This forced Dillon to dribble the ball forward himself.
Once in the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Westbrook, and Dillon ran towards the baseline.
Wang Xiucheng ran out from the bottom corner and passed by Di Long.
Halliburton was blocked again.
Taking advantage of this time difference, Wang Xiucheng received the ball, and with a thud, he stepped back after receiving the ball.
It was exactly the same move Siakam made earlier, but even smoother and more fluid!
Swish!
The basketball hit the bullseye perfectly!
The Nets scored the first point in overtime!
"Hey, he's moving to cover..."
Halliburton yelled at the referee again.
When Dillon set the screen, he wasn't standing still at all, and his arm was still moving.
This is the nth time Halliburton has been tricked by Dillon!
The referee glanced at Halliburton but made no comment.
Haliburton stopped wasting his breath, turned around, received the ball, and began to advance.
The two sides went back and forth, and time slowly passed.
With two minutes left in overtime, Wang Xiucheng made another three-pointer.
This basket gave the Nets 10 points in overtime.
The Pacers also scored 8 points, and the two sides still looked evenly matched.
This time, Wang Xiucheng dribbled the ball across half-court. After Towns set a screen, Wang Xiucheng bent down and leaned against Towns to enter the paint.
Turner immediately moved in front of Wang Xiucheng, trying to stop him from breaking through.
He had already followed Towns to the perimeter. If Wang Xiucheng were to break through at this point, there was a high probability that he would be facing an open basket.
But Turner, who had just stood in front of Wang Xiucheng, felt a strong push on his stomach from Wang Xiucheng, which forced him to take a step back before he could even stand properly.
Then, Turner saw Wang Xiucheng take a step back after receiving the ball, and after a big step, he was outside the three-point line.
Before Turner could even regain his balance after being slapped, Wang Xiucheng had already launched the three-pointer.
But then, a loud clang rang out, making Turner's voice sound somewhat excited.
That ball didn't go in!
Wang Xiucheng pushed him, and Turner, who had entered the paint, turned around and grabbed the rebound.
He passed the ball to Haliburton, and Turner ran forward.
Like the Nets, the Pacers are a team that excels at fast breaks.
Harry provided another assist, scoring two points for the team.
In the next possession, Wang Xiucheng took another step-back three-pointer.
The ball still didn't go in.
Fortunately, the Pacers didn't make the shot either.
With one minute remaining in overtime, the score was still 10-8.
Udoka requested a timeout.
Wang Xiucheng has missed two consecutive three-pointers.
He knew Wang Xiucheng was probably tired, so he asked for a break so Wang Xiucheng could rest.
