"Permanent Mission? Clutch Shot Gold Rush?"
Su Yan narrowed his eyes, a bit puzzled.
The system then explained: "Starting from this game, as long as the host scores the winning shot before the end of the game,
A reward mechanism will be triggered, a Gold Rush.
The type of gold can be money, items, or... abilities.
Triggered randomly."
"PS: A clutch shot feels good for a moment, but continuous clutch shots feel good all the time!!!"
Su Yan nodded slightly, understanding.
"Simply put, there's a reward for a clutch shot. So it seems... I need to win as much as possible.
And not just simply win.
The winning shot also needs to be scored by me.
Although the difficulty is not small, this gives me more motivation than just a simple clutch shot."
It's pretty good.
D'Antoni was surrounded by the players and said in a deep voice: "8.3 seconds left, possession is with the Denver Nuggets, the situation isn't great.
But it's not over yet.
They only lead by one point. If we foul, even if they make both free throws, we still have a chance to tie!
If they make one of two, or miss both, the opportunity comes to us!
We still have one timeout.
So... 8.3 seconds is completely enough for us to call a timeout and then run a tactical play in a half-court set.
Even.
Everyone can first force a defensive effort for 2-3 seconds, preferably to make a decisive move and complete a steal.
That would be best.
Of course... you can only defend for a maximum of 2-3 seconds. If there's no opportunity, be sure to foul immediately!"
"Understood, Coach!"
Everyone assented.
D'Antoni nodded and continued: "As for the counter-attack strategy, Su Yan is the primary core, prioritize finding him.
Next is Stephen Curry.
The Denver Nuggets' defensive focus will also be on Su Yan, so if Stephen Curry has an opportunity, he must pass decisively.
Both of their Three-point Shots can be trusted."
"Got it, Head Coach!"
The players nodded heavily.
The situation was really bad, but everyone hadn't given up and maintained full confidence.
Then, there was a chance.
Before long.
Timeout ended.
The final 8.3 seconds of life-or-death arrived.
In the stands.
New York Knicks fans clenched their fists, cheering for Su Yan and the others.
The atmosphere was extremely tense and solemn.
A female fan, eager for the New York Knicks to win, screamed: "Su Yan, if you can lead the team to a comeback,
I will reward you for free!"
???
How will you reward me? Tell me more!
The boldly expressive fan caused a commotion in the arena.
Everyone was surprised and emotional about the female fan's explicit declaration of love, which also slightly eased the tense game atmosphere.
Denver Nuggets' possession.
J.R. Smith inbounded the ball from the sideline.
He also knew that the New York Knicks wanted to win, and would most likely use the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy, so he prepared to find Billups and Anthony, prioritizing Billups.
Anthony's season free throw percentage was 83%.
Billups's was as high as 91%, averaging 7 free throws and making 6.4 of them. This accuracy... was astonishing.
Basically, finding Billups was very stable.
For the Denver Nuggets, free throws were the worst-case scenario. If they could run down the clock, or even complete an offensive play,
That would undoubtedly be the most perfect.
That would be equivalent to a clutch shot.
Wilson Chandler stared intently at Billups, and Stephen Curry was also watching eagerly nearby.
Su Yan followed Anthony, David Lee guarded Kenyon Martin, while Tyson Chandler and Nenê constantly screened for their teammates.
Finally.
Billups curled out, and J.R. Smith decisively passed the ball to him.
Stephen Curry and Wilson quickly converged, trying to steal the basketball from Billups.
J.R. Smith was also unambiguous, immediately entering the court after the inbound pass and quickly screening for Anthony.
"Bang bang bang!"
Billups quickly dribbled once in place, accelerated once, then jumped directly, before the encirclement could form.
He passed the basketball out.
It was a pass timed perfectly; Anthony just happened to shake off Su Yan and arrive at the middle of the arc.
Man and ball arrived simultaneously.
Stephen Curry hurriedly chased after him.
Anthony had a chance to shoot a Three-point Shot, but he wasn't in a hurry. After Su Yan's help defense also caught up.
He made a bounce pass, finding J.R. Smith who split and rolled down to the right side.
He didn't shoot himself, still not giving the New York Knicks a chance to foul.
Billups cut down the left side, shaking off Wilson, and Stephen Curry had to chase after him again.
Su Yan turned back to chase J.R. Smith, looking for a foul.
David Lee under the basket was also closing in, everyone was looking for J.R. Smith to foul him immediately.
No more time could be wasted.
"Want to foul? You're dreaming!!!"
J.R. Smith sneered, and before the two could foul him, he once again threw the basketball out.
Again finding Anthony at the top of the arc.
It's worth noting that... in the last 2 minutes of the game, you cannot foul an off-ball player.
This is a restriction on the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy.
Otherwise, it's considered a violation, resulting in a technical free throw, and possession still belongs to the opponent.
"It must be a pass back!"
Su Yan guessed that the New York Knicks wanted to waste time, and J.R. Smith wouldn't attack and certainly wouldn't give David Lee a chance to foul.
Then.
He would definitely pass the ball again, and it would certainly be to Anthony on the perimeter.
Su Yan just made a token effort, anticipating and chasing early, not losing his position at all. But... after Anthony received the ball, he actually wanted to shoot directly.
The goal was simple.
Continue to waste time.
The moment Anthony received the ball, only 4.4 seconds were left. Several passes had already wasted half the time.
If he threw another Three-point Shot.
Even if it missed, grabbing the rebound and wasting a bit more time would mean the New York Knicks were guaranteed to lose.
Anthony's idea of catching and shooting a Three-point Shot was good.
Little did he know... Su Yan anticipated it earlier, rushed out even sooner, bent his knees, and leaped up.
The jump enhancement from Spring Man Lv2.
Having seized enough initiative, he didn't even need to jump with full force.
He would definitely deliver a sky-covering block to Anthony, swatting the ball to the frontcourt, and then he could rush out to initiate a fast break.
A one-man fast break layup, a clutch shot against the New York Knicks.
Su Yan... had already planned the script.
However... Anthony, who had already gathered the ball and raised it, making a shooting motion, actually faked a shot.
A crab dribble.
Su Yan was faked out.
An almost fatal fake!
He flew past Anthony, only able to watch Anthony shoot and see his team head towards defeat.
"It's over!"
"It's BBQed!"
"It's gone!"
The home New York Knicks fans all held their heads, already in despair.
But there was nothing they could do, after all... Anthony's "triple threat" was textbook level.
Su Yan was just a rookie, an Undrafted Player new to the league; he was still too naive.
"Still too young!"
Anthony smiled slightly, taking a calm shot from a time advantage.
It was a Three-point Shot that, whether it went in or not, would secure the win as long as it was taken. He was naturally... full of confidence.
But just then.
Su Yan roared from behind, "I'm returning that exact sentence to you!"
As his voice fell.
Su Yan's palm descended as if from the heavens, from behind Anthony, slapping away the basketball he was just about to shoot!!!
