2+1!
In a turn that no one expected, Zuoli stood under the basket, beating his chest and roaring frantically, then turned and rushed over to pull up Shane, who was celebrating on the floor!
"It's too awesome to coax Sean! You're a hero! Great job!" Zuo Li rubbed Shane's short hair and shouted excitedly.
This is not an opportunity at all. It is entirely up to Battier to spell it out. The rest of the Knicks are ready to return to defense, including the five Celtics, who did not expect Battier to use such a deadly attack. Posture to complete the steal!
And the criticality of this steal can be seen from Rivers' dark face. When Zuoli completed the dunk and created Davis' thug, Rivers just smashed the tactical board into 8...
"pause!"
With just over a minute to go, the Celtics once again called to stop the game!
After the ball, the Celtics, who had a 12-point lead at most in the second half, fell behind.
Counting the extra penalty for coming back to Zuoli for a while, they will be behind by 3 points at most.
This is a three-pointer at the last moment, and it will definitely have a fatal impact on the normal game trend!
In the next round, they have to score, or the game may end there.
Rivers waved wildly with the new tactical board, Shane's name was highlighted, and he would be the focus of the Celtics for a while.
However, tonight, Shane is destined to shine!
At the end of the timeout, Zuo Li added a penalty and the Celtics took advantage of Garnett's mid-range two-point difference to reduce it to 1 point.
Afterwards, Pierce was almost inseparable from Battier. At this time, even if he felt that Battier could not score any more goals, his previous performance made the Celtics dare not gamble.
Such defense is of course effective, Shane did not continue to score, but his role has been shown.
He opened up the space!
Zuo Li was able to score consecutively in the interior, turned around and hooked in a low position, and made an inside cut to hit the board!
And Ray Allen once again saved the Celtics, his three-pointer left the Celtics just 2 points behind with 35 seconds left!
They still have a chance to win, as long as they guard this round.
"Pierce, come on!"
"Kill them!"
"We will win!"
The cheers from the fans of the Green Army kept filling the arena, but Zuo Li turned a deaf ear, and he took the ball to kill halftime!
The Knicks players are pulling away, and Curry is also waiting for the tactical gesture of standing left.
Zuo Li didn't deliberately press time. For more than 30 seconds, it's useless to press time. They need the success rate, not just the consumption of time!
It was Garnett who defended Zuo Li by himself, but the old wolf king who didn't play much today had reached his limit, but he still held on to Zuo Li, not giving him an easy route or opportunity to break through!
With 14 seconds left in the attack time, Zuo Li made a gesture.
Curry on the left quickly came over to find cover. He and Shane Battier's pick-and-roll created some space, but Rondo bypassed the pick-and-roll so quickly that Zuoli didn't have a chance to give the ball.
Garnett has also been following Zuo Li, Zuo Li can only use his body to fight against the wolf king.
Over there, Randolph walked in, but Ao Fatty's defense was very close, and he didn't have a chance to catch the ball.
Zuo Li had no choice but to continue to dribble the ball inside. There was a lot of interference with his hands and feet inside. Zuo Li showed his solid basic skills under this kind of interference.
The basketball seemed to stick to a part of Zuo Li's body, constantly interspersed with Zuo Li's rhythm.
Nearby Garnett and O'Neal wanted to break the ball in Zuoli's hand, but they couldn't break it!
"Never mind!" Seeing that Zuo Li was about to hit the basket, Pierce, who was originally close to Shane, was heartbroken and killed him directly!
He is going to form a three-person encirclement with Garnett and O'Neal, and knock down the left standing ball!
However, Pierce was a little anxious at this time. He didn't observe. In fact, Zuo Li was waiting for Pierce's attack, because in the face of Garnett and O'Neal, Zuo Li was not sure that he could score, and the reckless and strong attack , it may be pressed, and Zuo Li will not even be able to return to the defense.
So Zuo Li is ready to pass the ball.
Pierce gave Zuoli a chance!
"Catch the ball!" With a roar, Zuo Li threw the ball to Shane, who was on standby in the bottom corner!
Pierce panicked. He hurriedly braked and turned around to block Shane Battier's shot, but he was so anxious that his foot slipped and he couldn't make it up! !
Shane took the ball and shot it calmly!
Swish!
"Go in!! Go in, go in, go in!!" Yu Jiateng stood up immediately, raising his arms and roaring.
Shane waved his fist fiercely, and now rushed up to give Zuoli a high five.
"It's over..." Rivers stuck his waist and shook his head helplessly.
2 points became 5 points, only 8 seconds left, and the Celtics were over.
"Timeout!" Rivers called out the last timeout, anyway, do your best.
"Nice job!"
"nice shot!"
"It's too stable!"
And the Knicks teammates came over and patted Battier's body part in celebration.
Battier's shot was too accurate. At critical moments, he made three out of three points. He was the brightest star on the court tonight.
Fans watching the live broadcast at home and abroad are also climaxing.
"Zuo Li's dribbling is really stable! Attract three people to attack, just ask who else!"
"The Celtics' defense is very strong, but they can't break the dribble in the left hand."
"Battier is amazing, old and strong, too powerful, big heart! As expected of a rocket!"
"This ball is a quasi lore!"
"As long as the Celtics' last attack is defended, the Knicks will be stable."
"Awesome!"
The fans released their pressure and passion one after another. They really thought they were going to lose in the previous game. Unexpectedly, when Zuo Li, Curry, and Randolph were all exhausted, there were still people who could stand up!
The Knicks are so brave!
However, the Celtics also showed their unyielding character. Although there were only 8 seconds and the chance was slim, they still scored a three-pointer meticulously!
Ray Allen made his eighth 3-pointer of the game, helping the Celtics narrow the difference to 2 points in the last 4.5 seconds!
It's a pity that the Celtics' foul tactics were unsuccessful. Left Li made four free throws, all of which were made, while Rondo's three-pointer shot out of the box.
In the end, when time ran out, the Knicks defeated the Celtics 111-115 away with a 4-point advantage, bringing their winning streak to an astonishing 24 games in the season!
After the game, Zuo Li, who scored 29 points, 16 rebounds and 9 assists and a quasi-triple-double, praised Battier's performance: "He is phenomenal, there is no doubt that he is the MVP tonight, without him, we will lose ."
And Battier, who made 3 of 3 three-pointers and 14 points, gasped: "This is the meaning of my coming here, I want to help the team win game after game, I am very happy, tonight I am done."
And Rivers said helplessly: "We have tried our best, really tried our best. This game was better than the first game, but they were too strong. I think we need to do better."
