I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 125 The long-lost last moment

November 11, Atlanta, Phillips Arena.

Tonight, the Warriors will challenge the Eagles at home back to back.

The Eagles have reached the Eastern Conference playoffs for two consecutive years and are very strong.

It will be very difficult for the Warriors to win on the road.

During the warm-up activities, it was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

As the boss of the Hawks, Josh Smith naturally had to step forward to say hello to the Warriors players in a friendly manner and welcome them to Atlanta as a guest.

"Rookie, I heard that Gerald Wallace was slapped in the face for his harsh words in the last game. It seems that your strength is good and you can let me go all out." Eagle King Josh Smith said.

Sun Yi had already expected this to happen, so he didn't panic at all, and replied tit for tat.

"Oh, it seems that you want to help him get ahead!"

"I'm not familiar with him, but I just can't bear to see a rookie who has just entered the league being too high-profile, which makes us veterans lose face." Smith explained.

"Then you want to be like Gerald and let me get less than 20 points?" Sun Yi asked back.

"I'm not as useless as Wallace. It's okay to limit your score to less than 15 points." Smith said confidently.

"It's so boring. Why don't you do it the other way around? If you win, the news reports will say that you beat Mr. 51 Points instead of defending Mr. 51 Points." Sun Yi suggested with a smile.

"Okay." After hearing this, Josh Smith felt that what the rookie in front of him said made sense and agreed to the proposal.

In this way, the harsh words before the game ended, and the two continued to warm up to be fully prepared for the game.

Not long after, the game officially started.

After two or three minutes in the first quarter, the strength gap between the two teams became apparent.

After running around all night, the Warriors' players' physical strength was affected and their condition fluctuated.

On the other hand, the Eagles players took a day off and sat at home to recharge their batteries, and were in very good shape.

Not long after the start, the Eagles played a wave of 12-2 attacks, pulling the point difference to double digits.

"Rookie, what's the matter, why don't you guys score? It seems that I have to hurry up and score, or I won't be able to play in garbage time." Josh Smith said eccentrically.

In these few minutes, he saw Sun Yi's defense and felt that it was really difficult to deal with. He wanted to use trash talk to mess with Sun Yi's mentality, so as to achieve the goal of scoring easily.

"The game has just started, everything can happen, don't worry." Sun Yi replied.

He knew very well that if his teammates' condition did not recover, it would be basically impossible to play until the last minute.

"We have to think of ways to seal the score."

After Sun Yi made a plan, he went to provide pick-and-roll cooperation for Curry.

With the help of the screen, Curry broke into the three-point line, attracted the defense, and passed the ball to Sun Yi who was cutting inside.

After receiving the pass, Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area, and after a physical confrontation with Horford who stepped forward to defend, he scored the ball with difficulty.

In the next few rounds, Sun Yi and Maggette rushed to the basket and drew fouls, and narrowed the gap through free throws.

As a strong team in the playoffs, the Eagles have excellent adjustment ability. They quickly changed their defensive strategy and shrunk into the penalty area.

After the adjustment, the effect was significant, again limiting the Warriors' scoring.

Nelson was not a vegetarian either. He immediately changed his offensive tactics and made a fuss outside the three-point line.

After the Warriors changed their tactics, the effect was also good, and they got a lot of good scoring opportunities.

However, the Warriors players were in too bad shape and failed to seize these opportunities, frequently missing three-point shots.

The Eagles took the opportunity to play a tacit cooperation and opened the score again.

In this way, the first quarter ended, and the score on the big screen was 20 to 28. The Eagles led by 8 points entering the second quarter.

Not long after, the intermission ended and the second quarter began.

The Hawks replaced Jamal Crawford during the rotation.

In Sun Yi's memory, Crawford was elected as the Sixth Man of the Year this season, and he is very strong.

During the rotation period, this guy was killing everything, and the Warriors' bench was completely defeated.

On the Warriors' bench, Old Nelson touched his forehead when he saw the scene on the court.

"This guy shouldn't have been let go in the first place."

It's too late to say anything now, old Nelson can only wave his hand, let Sun Yi and others play again to stabilize the situation.

After the substitution adjustment, the Warriors broke the scoring drought and stabilized the situation on the field.

Sun Yi took advantage of the fact that the main players of the Eagles were not back and used the screen to play misplaced singles.

Although Crawford is very good on the offensive end, this guy is an out-and-out loophole on the defensive end.

The Warriors seized this point and quickly recovered the point difference.

Eagles head coach Mike Woodson saw this situation and immediately replaced the starting player.

After substitutions and adjustments, the Eagles' defense improved a lot, limiting the Warriors' offense.

In the subsequent games, the Eagles did not dare to push the envelope any more and played steadily, suppressing the Warriors and occupying an absolute advantage.

When there were about 2 minutes left in the game, the Hawks led by 5 points and had the ball in their hands.

After returning from the timeout, Sun Yi came to Josh Smith and gave a "friendly" reminder.

"Man, time is running out. You have to hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to achieve your goal."

Josh Smith replied stiffly: "Rookie, you don't need to remind me, you should think about how to win the game!"

At this stage, he has only scored 13 points and needs to score at least one goal to achieve his goal.

So, in this round, Josh Smith came to the low position on the right, leaning against Sun Yi and reaching for the ball.

After receiving the ball, Josh Smith played a post-up single. After a push, he found something interesting and once again used his strength to push Sun Yi back.

When he was about to reach the penalty area, Josh Smith found that he couldn't push Sun Yi. He felt a little strange, and then he pushed harder with more force.

At the same time, seeing that the time was ripe, Sun Yi immediately retreated quickly, using the long-lost "withdrawal stool".

Unable to use any force, Josh Smith staggered a few steps to stabilize his body.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle and punished Josh Smith for a walking violation.

The ball is switched and the Warriors attack.

Curry quickly dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, seeing no chance, he didn't force a three-pointer.

Sun Yi quickly ran from the inside to the top of the key, and was mistaken by the Eagles players for a pick-and-roll, confusing the audience.

In fact, he was the protagonist of this attack.

When Sun Yi ran near the free throw line, Maggette ran over quickly, made an off-ball screen, and firmly blocked Josh Smith.

Sun Yi took the opportunity to run to the right side of the three-point line, received a pass from Curry, activated the bond badge [Marksman], made a three-pointer with his hand, and narrowed the point difference to only 2 points.

The ball is switched and the Eagles attack.

Bibby dribbled forward unhurriedly and pressed for time.

They are still leading by 2 points and still have the advantage.

With the last 10 seconds left on the shot clock, the Eagles went on the offensive.

After Bibby cooperated with Horford in the pick-and-roll, he passed the ball back to Horford.

The guy near the free throw line received the pass and jumped up to shoot without any hesitation.

Sun Yi quickly rushed over and rushed to interfere with the shot.

At the basket, Randolph saw that Josh Smith wanted to grab the rebound, and immediately jumped up and shot the ball.

Sun Yi grabbed the rebound, landed and ran towards the frontcourt.

When he came outside the three-point line, he made a fake move, shook away Horford who was retreating, and rushed towards the basket.

The other players of the Eagles quickly retreated to the basket to make a encirclement.

Sun Yi didn't force the ball and distributed the ball.

After receiving the pass, Morrow took an open three-pointer.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
Unfortunately, the opportunity presented itself, but it didn't hit.

The Eagles protected the backcourt rebound and requested a timeout.

At this time, there were 52 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Eagles led by 2 points.

The final moment of decisive battle is coming!
