The most exciting and blood-curdling moment in the NBA is the moment of life and death, when countless players have become heroes of the team, but some people regret failure. Hitting the deadly ball is a difficult thing, and the failure is excusable, but some instincts that have become classic kills have become the most tragic failures for various reasons.
1. Novak's killer ball stopped at the basket for as many as three seconds
Steve Novak must have been impressed by old fans, especially rocket fans. The Rockets' 22-game winning streak that year, Novak has a lot of credit, he once hit a goal to kill the Kings!
Novak, who is three-point-accurate, has always been the team's most trusted shooter at a critical moment, but when he performed a deadly shot, Novak made an empty three-point shot, and the ball turned out a few times in the basket, spinning around on the basket for as many as three seconds! Finally, it was rubbed out, and this ball was one of the most tragic killing balls!
2, Lowry pit DeRozan's ultra-far three-point kill
In last season's Game between the Hornets and the Raptors, the two teams were still tied at the last minute of the Hornets home game, and DeRozan dribbled through the half in the last minute, hitting a long three-pointer with 0.8 seconds left! But Lowry called a timeout early, leaving DeRozan's goal in vain.
This is not the first time this has happened in the NBA. One of Bird's kills was invalidated for the head coach calling a timeout, but later in extra time, Bird told his opponent where he shot the kill and hit the kill!
Not only in the NBA, but also in the previous game of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhou Peng's three-point equalizer was also invalidated due to Du Feng's suspension.
3, Knight killed the empty basket and did not score
Although Brandon Knight is also a talented player, his career has had many tragedies, the All-Star Rookie Game was twice shaken down by Irving, and suffered a devastating injury, and has just recently returned. During his time with the Bucks, he actually had the embarrassment of not scoring the empty basket, because of his mistake, the Bucks fought hard three overtime to win the game.
At the moment Knight finished the steal, his teammates began to celebrate, even if they thought that the final result would be so.
4. Alstom's three-pointer failed Yao Ming
Deliberately not scoring a free throw in the final moments of the game, then grabbing a rebound and then shooting a deadly goal is one of the most difficult kills, even hardened and Irving masters can't do it. But Yao Ming once almost assisted his teammates to do it! In the final moments of the game with the Lakers, Yao Ming deliberately did not score a free throw, and then grabbed an offensive rebound to pass to Alstom outside the three-point line, but unfortunately, Alstom hit iron with three points, betraying Yao Ming's trust and efforts. （Russell）
