Chapter 256: Murder and Heart

When Pierce received a pass from Rondo at the top of the three-point line, Beverley stuck it and stuck Pierce's waist.

Feeling the force from Beverly, Pierce frowned secretly.

The rookie is a little taller, but he has a lot of experience against tall opponents, so getting stuck in his position will make it difficult for him to turn around and make a jump.

After trying to adjust the position a few times, but failed to get rid of Beverley, Pierce knew that if he wanted to score, he had to shoot under Beverley's pestering interference, and then the shooting percentage would definitely be disturbed.

With that in mind, Pierce passed the basketball back to Rondo, who ran back to catch it, and then turned and ran towards the box.

Rondo, who received the ball, did not stick to the ball, and hoisted the basketball to Garnett on the inside, at this time Garnett's physical strength was too little to do the job of the main offensive point, but he immediately passed the ball to Pierce who ran past him, and then helped Pierce block Beverley who was close behind.

Taking advantage of this little gap, Pierce immediately jumped and shot.

However, at the moment when he made a shot, a big hand came out of the air and slapped it the basketball.

"Leonard!"

Leonard, who had to be kept an eye on Rondo because of the dislocation of the block, didn't know when he ran over and gave Pierce a big hot pot at the right time!

The basketball was fanned by Leonard and happened to fall into the hands of George, who did not hesitate and immediately launched a fast attack.

"Not good! Defend yourself! ”

Garnett was taken aback and hurriedly tried to reach out and grab George, but George's start speed was too fast, and he couldn't pull it.

The Wizards' fast break is the fastest and sharpest, even if you look at the entire league, I am afraid that only the Heat's James Wade combination can be slightly compared.

At the same time as George sprinted, Thompson, Beverley and others also rushed out like arrows from the string, and the only two people on the Celtics side had time to return to defense.

3 to 2 in the front!

George didn't pass the ball, because Rondo and Ray Allen were afraid of Thompson and Beverley's long-range shooting ability and didn't dare to get too close to him, so George didn't hesitate at all, jumped directly one step before the free throw line, and flew towards the basket!

"Boom!"

A powerful dunk made the whole arena boil!

91:85! The lead extends to 6 points! There are just over 2 minutes left until the end of the race!

The Celtics, on their part, are starting to get impatient.

Rondo tried to use his speed to impact the basket, but it was difficult to do it under Beverley's defense, Beverley remembered Wang Xiao's advice to him, defending Rondo only to prevent breakouts and not shooting, and the position was very solid, Rondo didn't dare to shoot outside the three-point line, and he averaged only 23.8% three-point shooting per game in the regular season this season, and this is still a result of shooting without defense.

At such a critical moment, he wouldn't dare to gamble on his ridiculous three-point shooting percentage, even if Beverley completely vacated him from beyond the three-point line.

After his teammates ran to find a number of unsuccessful opportunities, Rondo had no choice but to hand the ball to Garnett, who played hard inside.

Although the physical fitness has bottomed out, Garnett is Garnett after all, after dribbling twice with his back against McGee, Garnett suddenly turned over and shot backwards, although McGee reacted quickly to jump and block, but still didn't have time, the basketball bounced twice on the basket and jumped into the basket.

At 91:87, the margin changed back to 4 points.

Wang Xiao called a timeout, arranged for Curry to return to the court, and formulated offensive tactics.

The next goal could directly determine the outcome of the game.

There is not much pressure on the Wizards' side, after all, they are now leading 3:1, and the advantage is huge, even if they lose this game, the score will only become 3:2, and now they are on the leading side.

"Stephen, this shot is up to you, and the others open up space and create singles opportunities for Curry."

Wang Xiao thought about it, and decided to let Curry carry out this crucial shot.

Although Curry's performance in the series was not very good before, there is no doubt that he is the first core of the team, even if the success rate of George's offensive basket is higher now, Wang Xiao still prefers to let Curry come, and use this way to exercise Curry's ability to make key shots.

"Okay, Coach!"

Curry didn't hesitate or hesitate, nodded in agreement.

At the end of the timeout, players from both sides returned to the court, and George passed the ball to Curry on the baseline, and then everyone pulled out to the outside.

Seeing this scene, Rivers's heart was slightly relieved.

The Wizards actually want to let Curry play alone, which is obviously the best result, in the face of Rondo's defense, Curry has only one game in the entire series to perform better, and this game, under the high-pressure defense, Curry has shot 7 of 17 so far, and the shooting rate is only 41%, which is far lower than the usual efficiency value.

As long as Rondo can defend this ball and then score the next attack, the difference will be narrowed to 2 points, and the chance to turn the game around is still there!

……

Curry slowly dribbled the ball at the top arc, his eyes glued to Rondo in front of him, and the minutes of the game passed, and when there were about 8 seconds left before the end of the 24-second offensive time, Curry moved.

He dribbled under his crotch several times in a row, making a momentum to break through, but he hit Rondo but remained as steady as Tarzan.

Seeing this, Curry dribbled directly to the left side, and it was only then that Rondo moved his feet to stick up.

The moment Rondo moved, Curry jerked the ball back, stepped back from beyond the three-point line, and then made a quick three-point shot.

The experienced Rondo seemed to have seen through Curry's thoughts, and almost stopped at the same time, and then pounced on him to cover his eyes.

Rondo's defense is very good, almost drip-tight, except for not completing the block, he has done the ultimate that a defender can do, from the perspective of Wang Xiao on the sidelines, his big hands have completely blocked all Curry's vision.

However, the basketball flew some distance in the air and landed into the net with great precision.

Three-point hit!

Curry still raised his arm high, a cold glint in his eyes.

At 94:87, the difference became 7 points! There was only 1 minute and 57 seconds left in the game!

Murder and heartbreaking!

On the sidelines, Celtics head coach Doc Rivers turned blue, and although he hesitated, he called out the last timeout.

There is no way, Curry forced this three-point shot against the defense, even the Celtics, who are all experienced veterans, have been severely hit with confidence, even in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Rivers had to call out this only precious timeout.

But when he called a timeout, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he knew very well that it would be difficult for the team to cross this hurdle.
