The Godfather of Basketball

"We found a way to win!" Jokic couldn't hide his excitement in an interview after the game.

In this game, he scored 13 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. Although his performance was not particularly impressive, the team won through defense, which proved that what Tang Tian said before was correct. They have the ability to work hard or win. The direction of the next series.

"We will go all out in the next game, this is our best chance." Deron also rarely showed confidence in the post-match press conference.

"We have no problem. The good news is that we can finally go home." Pierce did not show any panic. He spoke in a calm manner, giving the Wizards fans a reassurance.

The situation changed twice, with a 2-2 tie, the two sides will usher in the battle of Tianwangshan.

For the Nets, this is the second time since they entered the playoffs.

The team's journey to the playoffs was extremely bumpy. Of course, from another perspective, the training they got is also invaluable.

The more interesting thing is that the Nets are not the only ones going through Tianwangshan, and even for the first time in NBA history, the eight teams in the conference finals all tied 2-2.

The Warriors, Thunder, and Cavaliers, the three favorites to win the championship, encountered the most intense resistance in the semifinals. Now their opponents have the same chance of advancing as they do.

The prospect of the playoffs is confusing, beyond everyone's expectations, and it has also made all fans hooked.

However, among the eight teams, the Nets are still the least psychologically burdened.

On the two-day rest day after the fourth battle, Tang Tian only arranged some daily training,

According to him, after they have found a way, all they have to do is maintain the state.

Two days later, Tang Tian took the Nets to Washington, where they will face off against the Wizards in Game 5 of the series.

It's also Tianwangshan, and it's also an away game. Before the game, the training players looked very relaxed. The experience similar to the first round made them feel no psychological pressure.

The Verizon Center Arena was very lively that night, and the Washington fans also knew the importance of Tianwangshan, and they were all out.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the two sides played extremely fiercely at the beginning.

The Wizards knew that in the face of the high-pressure defense of the Nets, it would be difficult for them to play the same scoring performance as before, so they simply joined forces with the Nets to defend. Very difficult.

And in this case, the offensive rhythm of both sides has become very slow, basically every attack will last for more than 20 seconds.

Only when the tide recedes do you know who is really swimming naked, and only when the tide goes out do you know who has real skills.

Pierce and Deron, the two former teammates, became the scoring points of the two teams.

The two teams tied from 44 at halftime to 58 at the end of the third quarter. When there was only 1 minute left before the end of the game, the score on the court was 74 to 76, and the Wizards were still 2 points behind the Nets.

The breathing of the audience was half stagnant at this time, and the tense atmosphere turned the arena into a battlefield filled with gunpowder. The violent heartbeat sounded like a bullet being shot out, as if it could kill someone at any time.

"Come on! Wizards!"

Wall held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and the scene was full of cheers.

Bill and Pierce didn't have a chance in consecutive pick-and-rolls, and Porter was strictly guarded by McGrady when he came out.

The Nets gritted their teeth until this time and still maintained absolute defensive strength.

The offensive time passed by one minute and one second, but there were not many options left for the Wizards, and Wall still gave the ball to Pierce.

Johnson's close defense, under pressure, does not give room for hand at all.

"5! 4!..."

The fans at the scene were already counting down, Pierce forced Johnson with his upper body, and then made a super long three-pointer one meter from the three-point line.

The ball goes over Johnson's fingertips.

"Shua!"

"beep!"

A three-pointer almost at the buzzer!

The Wizards overtook the score!

"Truth" Pierce!

The key three points!

Tang Tian called a timeout.

Pierce's performance in this round of the series is really historic, and he really wants to win.

Back from the timeout, the Nets played brilliantly in the frontcourt. Deron's fake fax suddenly deceived Gortat, and it was almost a half-empty basket at the basket.

But fate made a little joke at this time, after the ball went in, it spun out again!

At this time, Jokic and Gortat killed almost at the same time. He grabbed the offensive rebound and saw that McGrady was empty in the bottom corner.

The hearts of the fans at the scene had just dropped, but now they hung in their throats again.

That's T-mac!

McGrady took aim at the frame before shooting.

The angle and strength of the ball are very positive, McGrady has always played steadily at critical moments!

"boom!"

After the ball bounced in, it bounced out again, and Gortat struggled to take off the defensive rebound.

With only the last 30 seconds left in the game, the Wizards called a timeout!

McGrady shook his head helplessly. If the goal entered the game, he would basically win it.

Tang Tian also shook his head helplessly, the Wizards' basket was also covered in this game.

"Cheer up, we are only 1 point behind, we have the initiative to defend this round, we can try to steal, but don't foul, protect the penalty area, and try our best to defend this round."

After speaking some morale-boosting words, Tang Tian picked up the tactical board and arranged defensive tactics.

Back from the timeout, Wall held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

Because there are still 30 seconds left in the game, the Wizards lead by another 1 point. After Wall arrived in the frontcourt, he began to press the time as much as possible.

The Wizards didn't start running tactics until there were only about 10 seconds left in the attack time.

Wall and Gortat passed the ball directly to the sideline after the pick-and-roll, and Pierce just ran out with Porter's pick-and-roll.

A very successful tactic.

"Snapped!"

But at this moment, a figure suddenly burst out from the passing route and broke the ball suddenly!

It's Deron!

A crucial steal, after Deron steals the ball, he puts up his horsepower and dashes forward.

Like a flash of lightning, Deron accelerated to throw off Bill who was about to steal and Wall who was about to foul. He ran from the backcourt to the frontcourt. , In the front court, he dunked directly!

He lost the opportunity before and didn't make progress, but this time he just changed to dunk!

78 to 77!

The Nets once again overtook the score!

There are still 7 seconds left in the game!

The Wizards called the last timeout!

Many fans at the scene felt that their bodies were trembling uncontrollably.

The heart of the person beaten by Tianwang Mountain really couldn't bear it.

Back from the timeout, the Wizards have the last chance to attack.

The outcome is only one goal, scoring or not scoring are two completely different endings.

After the Wizards sideline ball was sent out, it turned into Pierce's hands, and "Truth" hit Joe Johnson with his back, the last 5 seconds.
