When it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, they pressed the clock, and in the last few seconds, LaVine's jumper from 24 feet out missed, but this key rebound was actually grabbed by Dieng. This time it was Shangguan Yu's problem, because he didn't get stuck with Dieng, and the physical condition of the two was still a little worse.

However, Dieng wanted to take the opportunity to launch a fast attack, but was blocked by Shangguan Yu, he could only pass the ball, and the Timberwolves reorganized the offense.

Downs chiseled on the inside, but Shangguan Yu came to defend it, and he could only pass the ball out. But Thomas was right and broke the ball off again. The Celtics launched a quick counterattack, and Crowder received a pass from Thomas and scored a layup with the ball.

At 113-120, the Celtics are still seven points behind.

For almost a minute, both sides were tempo-free, but neither scored.

With only 54 seconds left in the game, it looked like the Celtics had no hope of turning the tables, but Coach Stevens didn't give up, and this time used the timeout to make substitution adjustments and replace all three-point shots.

This goal, the Forest team focused on guarding Shangguan Yu, but he still went around to catch the ball, and the moment he got the ball, two people appeared next to him. Shangguan Yu did not hesitate, divided the ball, Crowder took the ball and shot, it only took 4 seconds to throw the ball in, the score became 116-120, and the Celtics still had a chance to turn the tables.

The Timberwolves didn't call a timeout, and the Celtics had to take that offense down, but the Timberwolves teammates weren't stupid and handed the ball to Towns on the inside, who is now the team's strongest point.

Seeing that Salinjie was being bullied, Shangguan Yu could only go over to make up for the defense, and he had to go over to make up for the defense. I'd rather have Timberwolves players shoot from the outside than let them shoot under the basket.

Downs jumped to his feet and flicked the ball to Rubio, who spun around and fooled Thomas.

Seeing that he was about to make a layup, Thomas, who caught up, pulled him down.

Rubio withstood the pressure and hit two free throws to help the Timberwolves stabilize the situation on the court.

The Celtics called a 20-second timeout and arranged a three-point shot tactic again, but this time the Timberwolves had already arranged it and stared Shangguan Yu to death. Using the flexible Wiggins to defend Shangguan Yu is not to let Shangguan Yu get the ball. Fortunately, the tactical arrangement of this ball did not let Shangguan Yu come out to catch the ball.

Thomas came out to catch the ball, and Shangguan Yu tried to get rid of it, but it was unsuccessful. However, Shangguan Yu rushed forward a few steps and suddenly ran back, catching Wiggins off guard. Although he followed, Thomas hoisted the ball well, and after Shangguan Yu used his height to catch the ball, he dribbled directly to the left 45-degree angle.

It's not that Shangguan Yu's point is more accurate, but that he wants to open up the space for shooting.

Braked suddenly, made a gesture to shoot, shook Wiggins behind him, and adjusted the shot again.

This time it was not only LaVine who pounced, but even Wiggins also turned around and pounced, Shangguan Yu tried his best to jump to the highest with this ball, and at the same time dialed the arc of the high ball, and threw this ball with all his strength.

The moment he shot, Shangguan Yu couldn't see the basket at all, relying on his own feelings.

The sound of the ball hollowing into the net was very crisp, Shangguan Yu hit another three-pointer, and Shangguan Yu's 30th point arrived.

With Shangguan Yu's excellent play in the last half of the quarter, the current Celtics have narrowed the gap to 3 points.

With only half a minute left in the game, Celtic made a substitution and replaced the defensive giant. The Timberwolves set up their offensive tactics this time, and although the tactics ran perfectly, Towns had already had a chance. Maybe it was blinded, but this time Downs's mid-range jumper actually went out of the basket.

Backboard!

It was Downs again, and although the goal didn't go in, he reached out a little and the ball was pulled out and was grabbed by Wiggins. Now the Forest team just needs to control the ball because there are only 22 seconds left.

Claude was decisive and hugged Wiggins without giving him a chance to stall.

Wiggins missed the first free throw, and the Celtics players rekindled hope.

After adjustments, Wiggins withstood the pressure and hit the second free throw. The Celtics didn't call a timeout and quickly sent the ball to the baseline, and Thomas had less than two seconds to push it to halftime. Shangguan Yu ran over to catch it again, and after holding the ball with great difficulty, he passed it back to Thomas again.

Now that the interior is empty, Thomas goes straight to the basket, Rubio doesn't dare to foul, and Thomas hits a backhand layup.

The Timberwolves were also very capricious, did not call a timeout, and directly sent a baseline ball, Bradley wanted to foul the first time, but it was too late, but it was still fast, and it only took 4 seconds.

It also gives the Celtics 10 seconds to play an offense and foul again and attack again.

In a dramatic scene, Rubio missed his second free throw, and Crowder finally protected the rebound.

Rubio is really not stable enough, and he can't shoot such a key free throw, and Lu Yizhong deserves the title. These were the two free throws that decided the outcome of the game, and if they were taken, it would be enough to kill the suspense of the game. Although he had 15 points and 8 assists today, almost a double-double, he would definitely have to take the blame once he lost the game.

119 to 123, this time you must shoot three points, although Shangguan Yu is the best choice, but the Timberwolves' defensive focus will definitely be on him. So this time, Coach Stevens has to surprise the Timberwolves.

The game restarted with Shangguan Yu near the free throw line, Wiggins in front of him and LaVine in the back. On the right is Downs close to the basket, and on the left is Dieng, who is out of the switch, as long as Shangguan Yu gets the ball, it is estimated that he will be trapped.

When the referee's whistle blew, Shangguan Yu was the first to start running, he did not run outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, but slipped towards the basket. Everyone's attention was on Shangguan Yu, forgetting about another pitcher, Bradley. The latter received a pass from Crowder and hit a three-pointer from 25 feet out, sending the ball hollow into the net.

The Timberwolves didn't have a timeout, so they quickly sent out the baseline ball, and Thomas fouled LaVine the moment he got the ball, and now he can only use foul tactics. Because the Celtics are 122-123 and still one point behind, the Timberwolves just need to run out of time.

LaVine missed the first free throw, but made the second free throw, and the Celtics still had a chance to kill.

Now there is no pause, there is no way to set up tactics again. With 5.3 seconds left in the game, the Timberwolves pressed the ball with LaVine clinging to Thomas. But for the next period of time, LaVine barely left an inch, and Thomas didn't even have a chance to split the ball, advancing all the way to halftime.

Seeing that there is not much time, Thomas can only come by himself, and in the face of LaVine's defense, he can only adjust the arc up and step back to shoot three-pointers! (To be continued.) )
