Chapter 371: Triumphant Cleveland
Huang Xiang looked at Carter in the court with a smile, a few minutes before the fourth quarter, Carter completely suppressed Pierce, Carter's strength was completely underestimated, even if he no longer had the form of previous years. (_bubble&)
"Okay, okay, now it's time for you to play, Huang Xiang, Garnett, Iverson, Howard, Jones, and then it's time to test you, millions of fans in Cleveland are waiting for you, what is your mission? That's right, get the win. The main attacker, Howard Garnett, the secondary attacker, Huang Xiang Iverson, Jones, have a chance to blast your three-pointers, remember, you must be steady. Huang Xiang, your task is the heaviest, watch Ray Allen, the last reliance of the Celtics is not Pierce, this guy doesn't have much physical strength, they must focus on Ray Allen, so you show me him, if you can participate in the offense, if it is very physical, you will give me a dead eye on Ray Allen, okay, the tactics are arranged, go on the field, give the opponent a hard lesson to me, and if we win, we will go back to Cleveland for a good rest, one day off per person, haha, play. The Cavaliers' 60-second timeout was exchanged for Scott's proud declaration, and the Cavaliers were all excited like calves and went straight to the Celtics players on the court.
After a timeout, the two sides continued to play, and there were 6 minutes and 32 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Celtics 86:90 Cavaliers, the gap between the two sides was not big, but the obvious tension was the more than 20,000 Celtics fans on the scene, because Pierce had fallen, Celtics, can they really win? Their eyes swept over Huang Xiang, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble, this little pervert.
"I'll give you a chance to have a few eye-popping ones?" Howard winked at Huang Xiang, he deeply remembered Huang Xiang's violent dunks when he was with the Jazz, he was so handsome.
"Come on, you, at such a tense moment, how do you remember to play, if you let the coach know what you think now, I guess you will definitely sit on the bench, haha, do you want me to inform you?" Tempted? Of course, he was excited, but Huang Xiang still understood what to do and what not to do.
Howard's face darkened, then he looked at Huang Xiang and smiled, and ran to the inside line to stop talking.
Scott once made himself a cold bench for half a game because he didn't play as required, and he didn't dare to provoke this guy, speaking of which, it was still Big Van Gundy to give himself face, of course, he used to be the boss alone in the Magic, but now he ...... Still, I'm happy.
The Cavaliers attacked, Iverson took the ball across the half court and then handed it to Huang Xiang, Huang Xiang accelerated and rushed past Ray Allen with a big hand and picked up the basketball and went straight to Garnett, the wolf king took a step back and opened the distance with Hickson and threw a shot, and the basketball hit steadily.
Seeing that the Cavaliers still have such physical fitness at this time, Rivers is very annoyed, the main reason why the Celtics are unavailable is that the bench depth is not enough, but fortunately, the bench on the inside is still strong, so the Celtics' interior line is basically no problem, but the outside line is ......
Alas, I really miss the old lineup, and it would be nice if House and the others were still around, but this lineup is not impossible to get the victory back.
"Paul, rest well, I'll get the win back later, Green, I'll get it back." Rivers thought about it and said to Pierce and Green that the Cavaliers, a victory for the Celtics, is not so easy to take.
In the field, Huang Xiang broke through Ray Allen and gave the ball to Howard on the side, and Howard hit Yao Ming's hook hand.
Rondo slowly rushed across the half court with the ball, and then tried to pass Iverson with a few feints, but Iverson was not so easily passed by the opponent, and Rondo had to hand the basketball to Yao Ming on the side.
Yao Ming pulled to the outside to take the basketball and then pressed Howard on the side and squeezed inside, Howard pushed Yao Ming's waist with both hands and tried to make her retreat, but Yao Ming is not a rookie anymore, and he is still very good at dealing with such defense.
The two carried the inside for two seconds, Yao Ming did not insist on playing strongly, Hickson on his side lifted his body forward, Yao Ming handed the basketball to Hixon, and then blocked Garnett.
Hickson made a decisive shot in the face of Howard who was on his back, and the basketball crossed an arc in the air and went straight to the basket, but the shot was a little high and forced the basketball to smash into the rebound.
"Roar" Yao Ming raised his big hand and made a move towards the basketball, and the basketball was easily recruited into his arms by him and thrown to Rondo on one side.
Rondo took the basketball and pulled back to shoot a three-pointer, the basketball smashed to the rebound again, Yao Ming took the rebound again, this time he chose to attack by himself, and the big hand shook the basketball and honestly fell into the basket.
The stats are good, two rebounds in a row and a two-pointer, but the Celtics' form is really worrying.
Rivers waved at the referee and made a substitution, with Green coming on to play small forward and Ray Allen still scoring guard.
This lineup stunned Huang Xiang, and Jones was also puzzled, but they understood it after a few seconds.
Green is completely attached to Huang Xiang to defend, Ray Allen stands in the position of the first attacker after he is free, Jones defends Ray Allen? There are still no small difficulties.
In this way, the Celtics' lively scoring is convenient, and the Cavaliers have a little problem, but fortunately, the interior line does not have much impact, otherwise it is estimated that Scott will be as sad and bald as Van Gundy.
"Huang Xiang, pull it out and pull it out, don't cling to your opponent." Scott yelled at Huang Xiang, if Huang Xiang was suppressed by the opponent, then the Cavaliers would be in trouble.
Pull it out? Huang Xiang scratched the back of his head, uncle, you and I are a god, grass.
Depressed is depressed, but Huang Xiang still didn't refute, and ran outside as much as possible, but sticking to Huang Xiang Green only defended or made Huang Xiang taste a lot of pain, this guy completely gave up his offensive position, and came on the field to keep an eye on Huang Xiang of the Cavaliers.
Looking at it this way, Scott couldn't sit still, Rivers is a guy who can be shameless to this extent, and it's really a bit unbelievable.
"It's up to him." Scott looked at Huang Xiang in the field, it stands to reason that with Huang Xiang's strength, it should be able to be done, it depends on what he thinks.
Huang Xiang exhaled lightly, took the basketball into his arms, looked at the guy in front of him who had been running with him for several minutes, took a big step to his side with his left foot, and then rushed over with all his strength.
Huang Xiang, who rushed past Green, rushed to the Celtics' interior line with all his strength in order to vent the anger in his heart, and rushed through in the face of Yao Ming, and then grabbed the basketball in the back of his head with his big hand, and jumped up to be a tomahawk-style one-handed violent dunk.
With the basketball into the basket, Huang Xiang laughed hesitantly, little guy, uncle, Lao Tzu finally got rid of you, a difficult guy, the Cavaliers will not fail, because they will not fall.
Although there are some stinky farts, Huang Xiang's thoughts at this time are very realistic.
At 10 minutes and 9 seconds in the fourth quarter, the game was over with just over a minute left, and there was no way, and the Celtics, who were 7 points behind, had to replace all the main forces to try to chase the score back.
Pierce also returned to the field, and although he didn't reply well at this point, it was okay to fight in the mall for a minute or two.
Huang Xiang sat on the sidelines to rest, and in his place was Carter, who defended Ray Allen and Petrus defended Pierce.
In the final stage of the game, the two sides began to fight each other.
If the Cavaliers win this game, then a win for them when they return to their home court will mean that they are in the Finals, and if the Celtics win, then the two sides will be tied.
However, if the victory is won by the Cavaliers, then the Cavaliers will be 3:1 Celtic, and if the Celtics want to win, they must win 3 games in a row, this probability is pitiful, so if the Celtics want to win, they must win this game.
In the final minute, Rondo did not hand the ball to Yao Ming, but to Pierce, who had been working with him for several years, and by feeling, Pierce must be eager to attack now.
Pierce took the pass and went straight to the inside, not that he was very confident to rush into the inside, at this time, his physical strength was not very good, but he would have a lot more options after entering, so he could only choose to break through, and the outside jumper could not guarantee victory back to his hands.
Pierce, who rushed into the inside, threw the basketball to the basket, but he probably took a break off the court, and his hand was not very good.
The basketball didn't go in, and the rebound was taken into Howard's arms and handed to Huang Xiang on the side to start attacking.
Huang Xiang did not choose to attack quickly, and slowly passed the half with the ball and began to suppress the rhythm, Lei Allen glanced at the scoreboard and decisively began to foul.
With nearly 10 minutes behind and only fouls to get the game back, Ray Allen, a veteran of the league for more than a decade, is quite aware of the importance of time control.
Huang Xiang walked to the free throw line and made two free throws in a row, and as a guy with a free throw shooting rate of 97.4%, Huang Xiang did not miss a single free throw.
Entering this stage is completely a test of the Celtics' hand and the Cavaliers' free-throw shooting percentage.
In the end, the Celtics' touch didn't help them, and the Cavaliers had the last laugh with the play of several people on the court.
3:1, the Cavaliers are preparing to return to Cleveland with three wins, they are the winners, and their probability of reaching the Finals is extremely high.
In the last game, Huang Xiang got 32 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, although he was isolated by Green for a while, but the final stage of play still made the opponent have no chance, and Howard and Garnett on the inside teamed up to score 43 points, 22 rebounds and 4 blocks, and the two best defensive player limitations, the Celtics, the hope is not very big.
The victor is the hero, and the loser is destined to be forgotten, and the next day, the Victory Knights returned to Cleveland, and their achievements today are destined to be written into history.
