Chapter 352: Hard to the End
The Hawks failed to take out the Celtics in a wave, but whether it was the fans who came to watch the game or the fans who watched the game in front of the TV, they should have earned back the ticket price and time cost. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Such an anxious game really makes people reluctant to look away for a minute.
Throughout the third quarter, both teams were in a high-intensity rhythm, the score never opened to more than 5 points, but the offensive efficiency of both sides remained good.
It's like two beasts in the wilderness, constantly biting their opponents, bleeding their enemies while looking for a fatal opportunity.
If it was in the regular season, the Hawks might have joked with Erniu at this time, after all, his prophecy had failed.
Although the Hawks sacrificed the "Hawks Raid", the Celtics did not fall. But now, no one is in the mood for this, and the G5 has now been a confrontation between physical strength and will.
Erniu rested for less than 3 minutes in the first three quarters, and in the last quarter, he also did not rest for more than 2 minutes.
It was at the point when the Celtics had just overtaken the score in the final quarter, Woodson decisively replaced Erniu on the court.
Don't look at the deep bench lineup of the Celtics, but the people who can really withstand it at critical moments are not ***J. Brown, Leon Bowie and Glenn Davis, etc., all of whom have been beaten one by one.
Of course, the river document couldn't bear it, Perkins and Garnett immediately returned to the court, although Erniu had less rest, these old guys also had limited rest time, compared to the two, the young Ruan Erniu and the Eagles had more advantages.
Bibby held the ball past half court, and Erniu received a pass in the low post, attracting the Celtics to wrap it, and then distributed the ball to the vacant eclipse hand.
The lunar eclipse didn't dare to take the blame at this time, and passed the ball to Marvin Williams, who broke through and distributed it to Marvin Williams.
Marven shot from a middle distance and missed!
Erniu grabbed the rebound in the front court and threw it to Mike Bibby, who hit a three-point shot against Rondo!
Rondo dribbled across the halfcourt, and after making an attack gesture, he passed the ball to Ray Allen, who was running back, and Allen made a one-step shot from inside the three-point line, and he also hit!
Bibby dribbled the ball across the half court, used Marven's blocking and dismantling to go down, and with the help of Erniu's baseline cover, calmly completed the layup and hit!
RONDO PASSES TO PIERCE, WHO LEANS SIDEWAYS AGAINST THE ECLIPSE, AND AFTER A TENTATIVE STEP TO THE BASKET, THE CROSSOVER THEN CUTS INSIDE, AND A JUMP DODGES THE DEFENSE OF THE TWO BULLS, AND REFLEXIVELY SENDS THE BALL INTO THE BASKET.
……
The stalemate between the two sides in the second half continued, with neither side able to dominate the game.
The brutality of the playoffs is on full display in this moment, and despite your best efforts, you can still lose the game in the next second.
After a defensive misalignment, the Hawks asked for a 24-second timeout.
Nguyen Erniu took the initiative to call a timeout, and in the bench, he put aside Woodson and took the initiative to say to his teammates: "The whole world knows that we are going to play small ball, and the Celtics can guess it, but I am not prepared to change the scheduled plan."
We're just younger than them, we're just faster than them, think about Mike's nickname (Wood Man), this game, we all have to stick to the spirit of 'conservative' to the end. I just don't believe the Celtics can stop it!"
“HAWKS!”
“HAWKS!”
“HAWKS!”
The Eagles players unified their minds in a very short time.
TNT's on-field commentators were discussing the next game as the clock ticked for six minutes, with the score at 108-107 and the Hawks leading by just one point.
Barkley said: "They're still going to come up with a small-ball lineup, can the Celtics withstand it?"
Reggie Miller said: "Should you say they have a way out?"
Kevin Harlan made a final summary: "If you can't stand it, you lose!"
The court was not idle, Zhang Li said: "After this timeout, the Hawks will definitely use their small-ball lineup of 'Hawks Raid', and it will depend on whether the veterans of the Celtics can be more worthy of the Hawks." ”
Teacher Sun Zhenping said: "I think it should be difficult to stop, after all, the age is there." ”
At the critical moment, Mr. Sun also abandoned the objectivity and fairness of the commentator, and bluntly favored the side of the eagle who had Ruan Erniu.
But most of the Celestial Dynasty fans in front of the TV agreed, and from the moment Da Yao was reimbursed for the season, everyone pinned their hopes on Erniu, and now it depends on his performance.
Ruan Erniu held the ball in a high position and missed a mid-range jumper, Garnett grabbed the rebound and counterattacked with a pass.
But the Hawks' retreat was quite swift, and the Celtics had to drop ground to attack.
Garnett is the most height-dominant mismatch on the court with the ball in the low post.
After all, Erniu is a player in his early two meters, and in the face of Garnett, whose real height is about 216CM, he is in a weak position from the field.
Garnett singled with his back and chiseled in twice in a row, but he couldn't squeeze at all. Erniu was like a super thick wall, stuck behind Garnett.
The same happened to Garnett when he encountered Rocket's Hayes.
But the power of the Celestial Empire is obviously more terrifying, and Garnett is almost unable to move an inch.
The helpless Garnett chose to pass, he was not cowardly, but after such a fierce confrontation, the shooting rate of the iron-blooded jumper could not be guaranteed at all, rather than this, it was better to attack the basket from a different angle.
The ball went to Rondo, who passed to Ray Allen, who passed to Posey, who in turn passed it back to Garnett.
This time, the KG basket that received the ball sideways near the free throw line was gone!
Garnett made a triple threat pose like a top striker swingman, with Nguyen defending with open arms in front of him.
KG moved, a big stride dribble, but Erniu did not lose position.
The next moment, KG made a sudden stop, he wanted to pull out a jumper, and Erniu's right arm flung downward.
The ball is cut off!
Between the lightning and flint, Ruan Erniu made an amazingly accurate judgment, there were no fouls, and the ball was clean.
But Garnett is Garnett, after the first ball was smashed, he miraculously got the ball again, and just as he was about to shoot again, Erniu's right hand hit the basketball again.
The ball is cut off again!
Erniu grabbed the ball, and the annoyed Garnett directly knocked him to the ground with a foul.
Ruan Erniu hugged the basketball, and a carp stood up and bumped into Garnett, and the two were entangled and sprayed trash talk to each other.
"You XX bastard, you are a maggot in the mud, you only know the scum of the black hand, you XX will always be a loser, with me, you will never win the championship!"
Who said that Erniu's trash talk is not high, and he is really scared, even he is afraid, this is really too heartbreaking.
For someone like Garnett, not winning a championship in his lifetime may be even more painful than imprisoning him for life.
The referee and teammates on both sides immediately stopped the further escalation of the conflict, which was the stage for the East Final, after all. If you make a scene that is too hot, it will be really dangerous.
After consulting with the second and third referees, Crawford gave Garnett a first-degree malicious foul and Erniu a T, and after each side executed free throws, the game continued.
As long as there are no fights, the two sides will still be able to continue this confrontation.
Woodson and River will not make substitutions, and as long as these two guys are not sent off or ejected, they must continue to fight to the end.
