The game was unimaginably sticky, and even the fans at home were nervous and didn't dare to shout loudly at this time, which made the atmosphere of TD North Shore Garden more and more depressing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

'With two minutes and forty-two seconds left, Celtic have to equalise as soon as possible, and we don't have much time left.

The old Johnson's expression on the comment table became solemn again. But Barkley still has a nonchalant expression, anyway, it's not him who is competing, it doesn't matter who lives or dies, if no one wins the championship, he can't help but jump.

"Alright, old Johnson, it looks like you don't have to worry about how to deal with the children of your age who can be grandpa."

The elder Johnson had no time to pay attention to Barkley's ridicule, he watched the game on the court seriously, and said in a voice that was most likely self-talking: "Celtics' offense, boys, show your star abilities and put the basketball in the damn hoop!" ”

This time, the basket was not able to refuse the Celtics' shot, and at the critical moment, the superstars still had enough guarantees for their play. Allen hit a mid-range shot to help the Celtics cut the deficit to four points, but they spent too much time tearing through the Pistons' defense, and when their offense was complete, the game was cut by another 20 seconds.

Rivers began to hesitate again, his head frequently on the field and around the bench.

Shi Lei looked at the game on the field, but the drink bottle in his hand that was about to be crumpled by him showed how agitated his mood was at this time.

"The offense on both sides is very difficult, and the Celtics should replace Shi Lei at this time, and his breakthrough can at least give the team more shooting opportunities on the outside."

Rivers was still hesitating, and Director Zhang was anxious for him. Well, even if Shi Lei plays for 48 minutes, Director Zhang will not object, but he will definitely feel distressed: "You are paralyzed, are you using people as donkeys?" ”

Rondo's defense was once again a key target for the Pistons, and he couldn't calm himself down, and he was sent flying in mid-air at the behest of Billups.

Fake shot is really sudden, and Billups, who has a "big heart", accurately hit the Celtics' blue heart.

With two minutes and nine seconds remaining, the margin between the two sides widened back to five points, and Rivers couldn't help but call a timeout.

"Celtics take a timeout, Rivers will definitely make substitutions, who will he replace? Is it Pierce or Ray. Alan? He...... Replaced Perkins! ”

At this time, the "superstars" of the Celtics became a heavy burden for them, and Rivers picked another soft persimmon and replaced Perkins with Shi Lei.

Most of the league's head coaches don't have the courage to replace the team's "superstar" at a critical moment in the game, and a few have, such as Popovich, Sloan, and Larry. Brown, like Phil. Jackson....... Well, he didn't dare to replace Kobe Bryant either.

"The Celtics have switched to their No. 11, charge, and it looks like he's impatient!"

Shi Lei, who played the No. 4 position, suddenly crossed the midline and suddenly had to pass the basketball controlled by Rondo, and quickly began to impact the Pistons' defense.

Shi Lei wanted to hit the Pistons by surprise, but at this time the Pistons would not make such low-level mistakes, their spirit had been completely concentrated in the game, and Shi Lei's breakthrough was blocked before it went deep into the free throw line.

Shi Lei hurriedly transferred the basketball to the outside.

The Pistons' defense has shrunk and Ray. Allen got a comfortable jumper and two points narrowed the score.

The Celtics' attack was fast, with a little over thirteen seconds, and for them, time was of the essence right now.

"This is the role of Shi Lei, Celtic's attack is obviously much easier than before, there are less than two minutes left in the game, a four-point gap, Celtic still has plenty of time, they still have a lot of chances, they still have a chance!"

Well, Director Zhang is very emotional now.

Seeing that this attack was completed, Shi Lei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this time it was really risky. Allen's shot missed, and the Celtics struggled to get a chance to grab a rebound. Garnett is the only one left on the inside, and no matter how strong he is, it will be difficult to support him.

Fortunately, the Pistons' interior line was not strong, and when defending, Garnett followed Rashid, and Shi Lei also used his strength to card Antonio.

The Celtics' interior hardness has decreased a lot, but the flexibility has been significantly enhanced, coupled with the super movement speed of the two people, the Pistons did not dare to easily send shells to the interior, and the basketball passed and passed between the outside lines.

The Pistons' offense was very patient, and after more than ten seconds of passing and receiving the ball, the Celtics' not very well-coordinated defense still had a hole, and Hamilton seized the opportunity after cooperating with Prince to add two more points to the Pistons.

"Ball!"

As soon as the Pistons finished shooting, Shi Lei hurriedly asked for the ball.

Shi Lei's "impatience" surprised everyone, all the composure on his body disappeared at this time, and one person frantically pushed towards the other party's basket.

With more than 40 minutes left in the game, the Pistons' defense is too solid, which is also the way they are best at controlling the game, and for the Celtics, if they want to chase points, they must first destroy their composure.

Shi Lei's dribbling advance, his teammates were all left behind him, the Pistons players were also surprised, Antonio who ran at the back hurriedly came up to block, Shi Lei changed hands, twisted his body, and flashed past Antonio's side.

This little effect of blocking did not help Billups a little later to get much time to prepare. Shi Lei turned around sharply and pulled back in an instant, shaking Billups over.

Rashid was desperately running to his basket, and it was Prince standing in front of Shi Lei.

Shi Lei only spit out two words "foul" at Prince, which made his body stiffen suddenly, which he didn't think much about, because for the Pistons, each of them is crucial.

This time is only for a moment, but it is enough for Shi Lei to complete his actions.

Shi Lei broke through Prince, and Hamilton, who is not known for his defense, is even less likely to hinder him, and when Shi Lei stepped into the free throw area, he faced only Rashid.

"Shi Lei, break through with the ball! Fast! It's so fast! The Pistons had no way to defend at all, and now they only have Rashid left under the basket, and Rashid ......"

As long as he breaks through and enters the basket, Shi Lei has enough ways to put the basketball into the basket, facing Rashid, Shi Lei jumped directly, carried the opponent away with his violent defense, and hit the one-handed smash with his left hand!

Shi Lei's attack took less than six seconds to help the Celtics re-narrow the gap to four points, and there was one minute and 39 seconds left before the end of the game.

"Shi Lei broke through the dunk alone, this is the key two points, this is completely a play of personal ability, the Pistons have no way to break through Shi Lei's super strong individual, we saw them call a timeout. They will definitely strengthen their defense against Shi Lei in the next game, but this will definitely give the rest of Celtic a chance, and it will be up to Celtic to take advantage of it. ”

Shi Lei's fast attack two points are very important now, so Director Zhang was very excited, and at the scene, the fans were also angry. What the current Celtics need most is time, they must race against time and outperform this opponent, and Shi Lei has done what the players on the court need the most to do at the moment.

The head coaches of both sides are nervously arranging tactics, as Director Zhang said, Sanders is arranging for Shi Lei's final defensive problems, Shi Lei has caused them enough trouble in this game, Sanders does not want to lose control of this point at the last moment, resulting in a whole game of efforts in vain.

Rivers doesn't need to think much to know that what he is arranging is a cover for Shi Lei's breakthrough, the attack point that the opponent is most afraid of, the attack point that he wants to defend the most, Rivers of course wants to sharpen him a little sharper.

"Celtic's No. 11 played a great game, his breakthrough was very scary, he did what others didn't do, now it's up to Sanders to arrange the defense, this is an important proposition for them, if they can't limit No. 11 well, they are likely to be overturned by the opponent at the last moment!"

The tense atmosphere at the end of the game made Fagan's expression solemn.

Experts and commentators from all walks of life made suggestions and pointed fingers at the tactics of both sides, and soon the timeout was over.

Celtic came back and expanded their defensive range as they deployed in the opposition half. This lineup may not be sufficient in terms of defensive hardness, but in terms of flexibility, it is something that few teams can match.

This time, Shi Lei did not defend Billups, he and Garnett pressed at the back of the team, and their flexible speed allowed them to form defensive pressure on every corner of the court at all times, and under this pressure, the Pistons were extra careful to transfer the ball.

The Pistons' players frequently switched positions, and the Celtics' outside trio also followed suit, but Shi Lei and Garnett, each defending half of the court, only adjusted their positions slightly with the basketball, and even turned a blind eye to the opponent's interior line that had run behind them.

Without a basketball in his hand, he was blind even when he got into the basket, and Billups didn't dare to use a long pass that was very easy to destroy, so Rashid had to pull it back out and cover his teammates.

The Pistons' offense is advancing layer by layer, and the Celtics' defense is gradually moving back, but under this defensive pressure, when the Pistons finally advance to the three-point line, they have little offensive time left.

The basketball was finally handed over to Hamilton for a three-point shot, this time Lady Luck did not favor them, Shi Lei's strong ability to rush for rebounds allowed him to protect the rebound.

The Pistons also wanted to strengthen their defense, however...... They don't dare to use the way of man-to-man pressing, breaking through is the best way to crack the pressing, what they don't have is precisely the strongest opponent, and in the end, they can only shrink the defense into their three-point line as before.

The same method is difficult to work in the second time, Shi Lei ran to the inside line this time, and crossed with Garnett to tear up the opponent's defense.

In the densely populated free throw area, it is actually difficult to cover or something at this time, rather than doing this kind of useless work, it is better to help teammates disperse the defensive pressure under the basket, but after the basketball passed several times, the outside line of the Celtics did not tear up the offensive route.

The defense that the Pistons rely on to survive has put a lot of offensive pressure on the Celtics from the outside.

After the Celtics defended the Pistons' offense, the Pistons also completed a successful defense, and Pierce missed the same long-range shot.

With fifty-six seconds left in the game, the Celtics went foul and a foul from Pierce sent Prince to the free throw line.

The Celtics called a timeout, and with less than a minute to go, still trailing by four points and making two free throws, Rivers felt the pressure like never before.

Rivers replaced Cassel for Rondo, and the tactics he arranged were also related to this - "bet on outside shooting"!

After restarting, Prince made free throws and hit one of two free throws to boo from the court to extend the lead to five points.

Since they want to bet on the forced shooting on the outside, Shi Lei and Garnett dare not go out, they must stay under the basket to protect the rebound.

The Celtics' offense didn't change significantly, with the basketball passing around in the hands of the outside players, and finally Cassel relied on his veteran experience and his own not-so-tight defense to shake off Hamilton and force a shot.

The ball didn't hit, Prince protected the rebound, the Pistons had too many insiders, and they had a clear division of labor, Antonio and Rashid did not participate in the rebounding scramble, but suppressed one by one, and suppressed Garnett and Shi Lei without even getting a chance to jump.

At this moment, there are only forty-seven seconds left for the Celtics to reverse.

"Cassel's shot missed, the Pistons still had a five-point lead, but the Celtics still had time, and 47 seconds was enough to do a lot of things."

Perhaps only the country still has enough hope for the Celtics, and the old Johnson in the on-site commentary seat is already a little desperate: "The Celtics must adjust their offense, and Doug must make a difference!" ”

Rivers also wanted to make a difference......

Billups regained control of the ball and began to advance, but the speed was very slow, and the basketball was firmly in his hands, and the Celtics couldn't even get a chance to foul.

In the last two minutes, there is a very strict system for fouls, such as two free throws and one throw.

What's more, after replacing Rondo, although the Celtics' outside shooting has been strengthened, their defense has been pulled down a lot, and Cassel simply can't put enough pressure on Billups, which makes the Celtics' full-court pressing tactics greatly reduced.

"What are we going to do?"

Almost all Celts are thinking like this in their heads. (To be continued.) )
