Welsh star Gareth Bale enters a late substitute in the NBA Finals between his Los Angeles and Philadelphia Union team, and the first is late 3-2, after which Hollywood events take place in every sense of the word.
While the match was referring to Philadelphia's victory and placing one of his hands on the championship cup, Bell appeared and scored the equalizer in the 128th minute, to impose a 3-3 draw, and then the match went to penalty shootouts.

This incident is not the only one in the match, as Los Angeles goalkeeper Maxim Crebo was sent off 12 minutes before the end of extra time, after a strong challenge with Corey Burke during a one-on-one to deprive him of a real goal before the end.

But McCarthy, Cribo's replacement, who was named player of the year in the league final, excelled in the penalty shootout, to hand Los Angeles a 3-0 win and their first title in the team's history.
Bale's late and decisive goal is not the first in his career. During his days with Real, Bale scored in two Champions League final matches, when he scored against Atletico Madrid and scored a double against Liverpool, including a stunning back kick, and scored a famous goal against Barcelona after a speed race in the King's Cup final, To help his former Spanish team win all these titles.

"It's always great to score in finals, and it seems like I'm good at it," Bale, who joined Los Angeles in July, told reporters.
"It's a huge and important achievement for the club and the fans, I came here to help win the league," added the striker, who will lead Wales to the World Cup in Qatar this month.
"Everyone is happy now, the fans and the city. It is important for this club to move to the next level, and I think with this victory we have shown our development. The title is special and special for me. It is the first big title here and I hope to achieve more in the future."
"Gareth remains decisive. He does that in training, when he's in good shape and in proper form, he makes the difference, so we pushed him in these moments," Los Angeles coach Steve Chirondolo said of the killer equalizer.
