Chapter 1239 The Legendary Witnessing Place

14 to 10!

Vogel reached out and called a timeout.

Carter scored two three-pointers in a row, stopping the Lakers directly!

"Vince! Vince!"

At the end of the timeout, the fans couldn't hide their excitement and chanted Carter's name.

This name represents the youth of many people present!

Stevens also patted Carter's shoulder hard when he came off the court.

Giving the opponent a three-pointer feels like luck, but scoring two in a row. Unless Vogel is bold enough, he will definitely not dare to let the Pelicans' perimeter play like this again.

As long as the Lakers dare not let go, Tang Tian will be under less pressure from double-teaming, which is an absolute good thing for the Pelicans.

After the timeout, Durant ran to catch the ball and scored a goal, stabilizing the situation on the court for the Lakers.

Looking back to the Pelicans' offense.

Sure enough, Carter stood in the bottom corner and contained Durant.

Tang Tian changed direction during the double team and went directly to the inside. He made a shot and caused a defensive foul on Lopez.

As Stevens expected, the Lakers no longer dared to double-team easily, and it became obviously easier for Don and the double-team to count the open space and score.

Tang Tian's extra free throw was a solid hit, and the Pelicans took a 5-point lead at 17-12.

These rounds also became the epitome of this section of the game.

Although Carter didn't take any more shots later, the Lakers just didn't dare to shrink easily anymore, and Tang Tian was able to handle the double team with ease.

After the first quarter, the score on the field was 35 to 24, and the Pelicans took an 11-point lead in a single quarter.

Without Davis, the Pelicans' score like this really wiped away the decline in the past two games.

Carter's two three-pointers contributed a lot.

However, the Lakers were defeated by the Mavericks in the semifinals before, and their performance was really good.

In the transition period from the bench, under the leadership of Simmons and Middleton, the Lakers tied the score again.

Falling behind in the starting stage, chasing points during the bench period.

This has also become a theme for the Lakers and Pelicans tonight.

Carter's starting gave the Pelicans an advantage in the starting stage. The state of their substitute group tonight is lagging behind the Lakers.

They failed to seize the opportunity to open the score in one go.

The two teams played until one minute before the end.

Durant and James once again showed their superstar strength. The two worked together to help the Lakers chase the score to 111-115.

1 minute, 4 points difference, the outcome is still full of suspense.

Tang Tian attacked with the ball in the frontcourt. He passed three people in a row and hit Lopez's thugs, and got two free throw opportunities.

Amid the MVP cheers from the fans at the scene, he made both free throws, and his personal data reached 40 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists, achieving a 40+ triple-double in the playoffs.

However, in the next round, James showed the strength of the second small forward in history and made a three-pointer against Green's defense, chasing the score to 114 to 117.

Stevens reached out and called a timeout.

3 points difference!

There are still 30 seconds left before the end of the game. As long as the Lakers defend the Pelicans' next possession, they have a chance to drag the game into overtime.

After the timeout, the Pelicans made a substitution, and Carter came on to replace Green.

Carter made 2 of 4 three-pointers tonight. Although he failed to make the next two three-pointers, Stevens still chose to trust him at the critical moment.

Moreover, the main attacker of this ball was Tang Tian, ​​and replacing Carter also put a psychological pressure on Vogel.

Sure enough, Vogel saw the substitutions on the Pelicans' side, and then called a timeout to rearrange tactics.

This is the psychological shadow caused by Carter's two three-pointers in the opening game.

If it weren't for those two three-pointers, the Lakers wouldn't have been passively chasing points all night.

The continuous pauses were a bit long and tortured the hearts of the fans at the scene.

When the long whistle sounded on the sidelines, they were also a little breathless.

As long as the Pelicans score in the next round, even if they only score 1 point, the victory will be in the bag.

After the timeout, the Pelicans served from the backcourt. Brogdon advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was pressing for time.

Regardless of whether this round can be scored or not, the more time is consumed, the better it is for the Pelicans.

With about 10 seconds left in the attack time, he continuously changed directions to squeeze past Durant and accelerated directly to the inside.

Vogel yelled contractions from the sidelines.

Breaking through the paint to cause damage is the Pelicans' most reliable way to score.

All five players on the Lakers court were shrinking towards Tang Tian!

At the last moment of the last game, Tang Tian scored the ball against a four-man defense. This time the Lakers were even more thorough.

If 4 people aren’t enough, just 5 people, all in!

However, Tang Tian did not choose to force himself this time.

If the team falls behind, he will most likely choose to fight hard.

But now the team is still leading by 3 points, not to that point yet.

He chose to distribute the ball, and the target of the distribution was clear, Carter in the bottom corner.

Like Stevens, he also trusts Carter!

And to take a step back, if Carter really can't make a shot, the worst he can do is retreat.

Stevens is not the kind of coach who leads by three points and fights his opponents for free throws.

The ball was in Carter's hands, and the Pelicans had only 2 seconds left on offense.

He didn't hesitate and shot directly.

The Lakers were too late to defend and could only watch Carter take action.

Vogel felt nervous at this time.

After making his defensive choice, he was betting on the Pelicans' outside touch.

This is also the right choice. Letting Tang Tian shoot the key ball will definitely be different from letting someone else shoot it.

But when Carter actually took action, he was still a little nervous.

Although Carter failed to score on two of his shots in the second and third quarters, a veteran like Carter is still the superstar he once was, and his mental quality is very good.

And the key ball is all about psychological quality.

The ball spun in the air and headed towards the basket, before falling straight towards the basket under the watchful eyes of everyone present.

The excitement in the eyes of the fans at the scene could not be hidden.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound.

Carter's key three-pointer was made!

120 to 114!

There are 7 seconds left in the game and a 6-point difference. The game is over!

Vogel called the final timeout.

He used a timeout to rearrange his defensive tactics, but he still failed!

And the direct consequence is that even if the Lakers can make this shot, the Lakers will not have a timeout, and it is basically impossible to win!

Carter, Carter, this 42-year-old veteran, the last ball really killed him.

At this time, Tang Tian took the initiative to go over and high-five Carter.

Although Carter only scored 3 three-pointers and scored 9 points tonight, every goal was priceless.

"Vince! Vince!"

The fans at the scene also chanted Carter's name in unison.

For a 42-year-old veteran, Carter really made the greatest contribution he could tonight.

He deserves this cheer.

Many fans even cried with excitement.

In this venue, they witnessed Rose's 50-point legend last season, Tang Tian's 102-point performance this season, and now they see the 42-year-old Carter's performance at a critical moment in the Western Conference Finals.

This arena is truly a place to witness legends.
