In G3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Celtics, who had been dragged down by the Knicks with a quick run and gun in the first half, broke out in the cheers of the fans!
With a 20-point difference and physical fitness close to the limit, the remaining half of the game is garbage time without suspense. However, in such an unfavorable situation, the Celtics veteran broke out!
This time, there is no chicken soup from Rivers, no return of the king after Pierce's so-called injury, and only the last redemption of the old guys who won't admit defeat.
Pierce fought hard, beat Shane on the back, made strong three-pointers from the pick-and-roll, and made fouls by storming the basket...
Ray Allen fought hard, rushing half court to bypass three pick-and-rolls to catch the ball for a three-pointer, lean back from the bottom corner to avoid the blocked three-pointer, and chase after a three-pointer on a fast break...
Garnett also fought hard, no longer fighting and retreating, fierce defense, blocked Randolph, and even cut off the ball in Zuoli's hand for the first time in the series.
Even O'Neal, who was thought to have no oil in his mailbox, tried his best to keep up with the Knicks in the three minutes after returning...
A wave of 4024 scoring frenzy, North Shore Gardens seems to have found the rhythm of the 2008 season in this section, the season that just formed the Big Three.
Rivers became a spectator at this moment, he didn't even say a word about tactics, the whole team only had the roar of veterans who were unwilling to fail.
No one doubted Zuo Li’s words this time. Such a Celtic really deserves a terrible name. Throughout the season, no team has ever given a 20-point lead to the Knicks who have gone all out. This situation can also be played below.
Saying,,,.. edition. 】
Some people were very excited, some people were boiling with blood, some people knelt down and prayed, but no one felt abnormal, so they said to Barkley: "This is the Celtics!"
Yes, this is the Celtics, iron-blooded, unyielding, not admit defeat is written in the bones.
And when they entered the fourth quarter with only a 6-point disadvantage, they even conquered the vast majority of neutral fans. Even Kenny Smith said: "At this moment, I kind of hope that they have successfully reversed."
Therefore, although Zuo Li's sentence is exactly the same as in the opening, the meaning is completely different.
At this time, Zuo Li absolutely did not have any contempt or play tricks, and some were just infinite respect.
This is what basketball should be like. You shouldn't give up hope because of the so-called strength gap, the so-called lag behind by a big score. Basketball should never give up.
So to deal with such an opponent, Zuo Li's choice is naturally to go all out to take away the victory, only in this way is the greatest respect.
So in the fourth quarter, Zuo Li did not choose to rest, he knew that he needed to respond!
So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the fans saw the long-lost star confrontation!
The two sides against Biao are currently the best players of the two teams, Pierce with 24 points in three quarters and Zuoli with 28 points in three quarters.
At the beginning, Pierce continued his 2-for-3 three-pointer in the third quarter, a pick-and-roll 3-pointer, Shane Battier's blindfold did not work, and the three-point clear hollow into the net.
3 points!
The point difference at this time has reached the point where it can be caught up in one round.
There are already fans at the scene who are so excited that they can't help themselves. At this moment, they really feel that the reversal is right in front of them.
"Stabilize! Defense! God! I hope we can do it! I'm willing to trade my life for not eating hamburgers for the Celtics to catch up with the score!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
The fans at the scene also cheered the team by shouting defense. Under such blessing, the Celtics really played a beautiful defense.
The ball came to Curry, no chance!
Transfer to Shane in the bottom corner, there is still no chance!
Want to give the insider, Garnett desperately around the front!
24 seconds are almost over!
At this time, the left standing on the inside bypasses the defense to catch the ball at a distance of three points and one meter from the top of the arc, and shoots with 1 second left!
The ball was still in the air when the whistle blew, but the Knicks bench was already up and celebrating!
brush!
Scored!
Super three points!
"o!m!g!"
Barkley held his head with his mouth open as if to swallow the basketball.
"Key ball! Respond to the ball! Unparalleled importance, Zuoli! It's him again!"
"This ball is so... lucky, the morale of the Celtics just got up is now being suppressed again." Kenny Smith shook his head, Zuo Li was really crucial, and he stood up again.
Whether it is luck or strength, the most important thing is that the goal is scored or a three-pointer. This is definitely not good news for the Celtics.
"It's okay, let's continue!" Pierce comforted his teammates.
However, in fact at this time, the ball is a big blow to morale. After all, they have really fought hard, and their physical energy is burning rapidly, and it is all supported by morale. Now, the morale is exhausted, and fatigue begins to appear in everyone of the Celtics. face.
"Have to catch up or even overtake!" Pierce himself did the same, so he knew that they had to quickly level the score.
However, whether it's a breakthrough, fouling, or mid-range, Zuo Li can always respond with points.
In 5 minutes, Zuo Li's score went from 28 to 38. Although Pierce also scored 32 points, the difference was not evened out, but expanded to 8 points. UU reading
