Vol 3 Chapter 520: Don't be a hero

The game came to the most tense round. It's finally time to tell the winner!
Lowry suppressed time before the center line until the last 10 seconds before taking any action. Although basketball is in Lowry's hands, no matter the players on the court or the spectators watching the game, few people think that Nas will pin their hopes on him. Not to mention the consistent impression that Lowry has left in the playoffs over the years, but based on his performance in this game, he is certainly not expected to be high.
Not surprisingly, the Raptors will definitely hand the ball to Leonard in the end. As the star of the team, he must take up this responsibility. Of course, he also has that ability. After all, Leonard did such a thing not long ago. Embiid's tears made all Torontons full of confidence in him.
The Thunder's defense also revolves around Leonard. Paul George is in charge of guarding him, and Grant and Anlor are also watching him at all times. As long as the ball is in Leonard's hands, they can be double-teamed in an instant, or even together.
Little Gasol reached the top of the arc. He received his fifth foul in the game shortly after the start of the fourth quarter. In such a difficult situation, Nas just let him sit on the bench for half of the game, the purpose of which is to make Gasol can play at the most critical moment. It now appears that Nas's approach is very foresight. After all, although Ibaka is in a good state, Gasol's ability to cope and three-point shooting is much more helpful to the team at this time.
Lowry didn't rush in under the cover of Gasol. He knew that it was useless. Now that they are behind by 3 points, the opponents naturally want him to rush in and layup. Almost all of the Thunder's defense is down to the three-point line. After all, two points in this case basically have no bearing on the outcome of the game. Lowry swayed from side to side in front of Gasol, and then accelerated to the rear left. Then, he jumped up and made a shot.
This shocked everyone. After all, everyone's attention was focused on Leonard. Westbrook hurriedly rushed forward, but soon he discovered that the opponent was making a false shot. Just as Lowry withdrew, Gasol began to move in Leonard's direction. The latter is also leaning towards the top of the arc. At this time, the Thunder's Adams had begun to shrink to the basket, and Grant stared at Gasol. After all, when Lowry took the shot, there was still some time. Once the goal is not scored, rebounding is the key to the competition between the two sides.
Gasol made a ball-free screen for Leonard and continued to move to the left forty-five degrees. Leonard took the opportunity to get rid of Paul George's defense and gained space to catch the ball. In fact, Paul George was aware of Leonard's idea, but Gasol's pick-and-roll influence was too large, and he did not go around in advance. But the good thing is that Grant made it up, and there is no one left behind.
Lowry passed the ball to Leonard before he landed. He just tried it. Now that Westbrook has pounced on it, he naturally doesn't have to take a risk. Anyway, there is enough time. The ball reached Leonard, and the Thunder players suddenly became nervous. Leonard's lore in the Eastern Conference semifinals made them very shocked. Paul George didn't change defense and followed Grant to trap Leonard one after another.
So far, the tactics of the Raptors players are basically the same as everyone expected. At the critical moment, hand the ball to the most stable star without any problems. Next, it depends on Leonard's performance.
But An Luo felt there was a problem! Since everyone knows that Leonard has such a threat, Nas should also know. Moreover, he knows better than others what his players are capable of, and he knows that the Thunder will definitely not let Leonard throw the ball. Then why does he have to let Leonard complete the final attack? He can make Leonard become the target that attracts defense and create opportunities for other players.
So while Anluo has been paying attention to Leonard, he is also paying attention to Gasol's movements. Among the five Raptors on the court, Anluo believes that Gasol and Lowry are the most likely to shoot. As for Danny Green, who has always been known as the top 3D, his performance in these games is not bad, but his three-pointer shooting rate is indeed a bit horrible. At this time, Nas would not let him take risks. Lowry didn't make a move, and only a little Gasol remained.
Anluo has made the most correct choice at the crucial moment of the game more than once because of his intuition~EbookFREE.me~, so he has always believed in his intuition, and this time is no exception!
Just when everyone focused on Leonard, Gasol quietly moved to the left 45-degree position. Seeing this situation on the sidelines, Dolovan hurriedly stood up. He hurriedly yelled to the players on the court, asking them to defend Gasol. But at this time, Paul George had gone to double-team Leonard with Grant, and the Thunder had only one Anlow left on the left side of the three-point line, and he had to stare at Danny Green from the bottom corner.
Leonard passed the ball as expected. According to Nas' tactics, he accomplished his task beautifully. But unfortunately, Gasol had an accident when he received the ball.
When Leonard passed the ball, Anlo in the corner dropped directly to Danny Green and ran towards Gasol at a very fast speed.
"Snapped!"
The sound of a crisp palm slapped on the basketball sounded on the court, followed by a rush of friction between sneakers and the floor, and people on the court turned on their backs.
An Luo grabbed the racket before Gasol, and then Leonard, Paul George, Westbrook, Lowry, including An Luo and Gasol all rushed to the orange that bounced toward the center line. The ball.
However, time did not give the Raptors a chance to shoot again. Although Leonard grabbed the basketball and threw the ball to the hoop in the end, the time was over.
Westbrook was very excited. He gave An Luo a hard push, and immediately gave An Luo a big hug. Subsequently, Paul George, Grant and others also joined the celebration. A group of people formed a circle with their heads on their heads and jumped quite joyfully.
