Chapter 653: "Truth" Pierce (3/4!) )

"We've found a way to win!" Jokic couldn't hide his excitement during the postgame interview.

In this game, he scored 13 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, although his performance was not particularly impressive, but the team won through defense, proving that what Tang Tian said before was right, and they have the direction to work hard or win the series.

'We'll give it our all for the next games and it's our best chance.' DeLong also showed a rare display of confidence in his post-match press conference.

"We have no problems and the good news is that we can finally go home." Pierce didn't show any panic, and he reassured the Wizards fans with a calm way of speaking.

The situation has changed twice, with a score of 2-2, and the two sides will usher in the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

For the Nets, this is their second time in the playoffs.

The team's journey to the playoffs has been bumpy, but on the other hand, the workout is invaluable.

The more interesting thing is that it is not only the Nets who will experience Tianwang Mountain, but even for the first time in NBA history, the eight teams in the division finals are all tied 2-2.

The Warriors, Thunder, and Cavaliers, the three favorites to win the championship, all faced the fiercest resistance in the semifinals, and now their opponents all have the same chance of advancing as them.

The prospect of the playoffs was a blur that surprised everyone and made all the fans hooked.

However, among the eight teams, the Nets are still the least psychologically burdened.

On the two-day rest day after the end of the fourth battle, Tang Tian only arranged some daily training,

According to him, after having found a way, all they have to do is keep the form.

Two days later, Tang Tian took the Nets to Washington, D.C., where they will face off in Game 5 of the series against the Wizards.

is also Tianwang Mountain, also away, the pre-game training players are very relaxed, and the experience is similar to the first round, so they have no psychological pressure.

The Verizon Center Arena was bustling with activity that night, and Washington fans also knew the criticality of Tianwang Mountain, and they were all out of the nest.

In the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the two sides played extremely fiercely at the beginning.

The Wizards knew that in the face of the Nets' high-pressure defense, it would be difficult for them to play the same scoring performance as before, so they simply fought against the Nets to defend, and the two teams and the regular season style changed drastically, and it became extremely difficult to score on the court.

And in this case, the pace of the attack on both sides has become very slow, basically every attack will be played for more than 20 seconds.

Only when the tide recedes can you know who is really swimming naked, and only in the tide can you know who has the real ability.

Pierce and Delon, two former teammates, became the scoring focus of both teams.

The two teams went from 44 at halftime to 58 at the end of the third quarter, and by the time there was only one minute left before the end of the game, the score on the court was 74-76, and the Wizards were still two points behind the Nets.

The audience's breathing was semi-stagnant at this time, and the tense atmosphere turned the arena into a battlefield filled with gunpowder, and the sound of a violent heartbeat was like a bullet that burst out, as if it could kill someone at any time.

"Come on! Wizards! ”

Wall advanced to the front court with the ball, and the scene was full of cheers.

Beal and Pierce didn't have a chance to block back-to-back, and Porter was also heavily guarded by Maddie when he came out.

The Nets fought hard to this point, gritting their teeth and still maintaining absolute defensive intensity.

The offensive time passed by minute by minute, but there were not many options left for the Wizards, and Wall still gave the ball to Pierce.

Johnson's close defense, pressing and not giving room at all.

“5! 4! ……”

The fans at the scene were already counting down, and Pierce forced his upper body to hit Johnson, and then shot an ultra-long three-pointer from one meter outside the three-point line.

The ball went over Johnson's fingertips.

"Huh!"

"Toot!"

A three-point bag that almost crushes the whistle!

The Wizards overtook the score!

"Truth" Pierce!

Crucial three points!

Tang Tian called a timeout.

Pierce's performance in this series is really historic, and he really wants to win.

After the timeout, the Nets played a wonderful game in the frontcourt, and Deron's fake fax tricked Gortat into a basket that was almost a half-empty basket.

But fate played a little joke at this time, and the ball went in and spun out again!

Jokic and Gortat hit it almost at the same time, he grabbed the offensive rebound and saw that the bottom corner Maddy was empty, threw his hand over, and Maddy took the ball and then shot.

The hearts of the fans at the scene had just fallen, and now they were hanging in their throats again.

That's TMAC!

Maddie takes aim at the frame before shooting.

The angle and strength of the ball are very positive, and Maddie's play at critical moments has always been stable!

"Bang!"

The ball bounced in and out again, and Gortat struggled to pick up the defensive rebound.

With only 30 seconds left in the game, the Wizards called a timeout!

Maddie shook her head a little helplessly, if the goal had been scored, it would have been basically won.

Tang Tian also shook his head helplessly, and the Wizards' basket in this game was also covered.

"Cheer up, we're only one point behind, and we have the initiative to defend this round, we can try to steal, but don't foul, protect the box and do our best to defend this round."

After saying a morale-boosting word, Tang Tian then picked up the tactical board to arrange defensive tactics.

Coming back from the timeout, Wall advanced to the front court with the ball.

With 30 seconds left in the game and the Wizards leading by one point, Wall began to press as much time as he could when he got to the frontcourt.

When there were only about 10 seconds left in the offensive time, the Wizards began to run tactics.

After Wall and Gortat blocked, they passed directly to the sideline, and Pierce just ran out with Porter's block.

A very successful tactic at one time.

"Smack!"

But at this moment, a figure suddenly came out of the passing route and broke the ball with a slam!

It's Delon!

After a crucial steal, Delon cut off the ball and rushed forward with full horsepower.

Like a flash of lightning that slashed through the air, Deron accelerated to shake off Bill, who wanted to steal, and Wall, who wanted to foul, the whole person rushed from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and in the extremely frightened and desperate eyes of the fans on the spot, he went to the frontcourt to dunk and score!

In the front, he lost the opportunity and didn't get motivated, but this time he directly changed to a dunk!

78 to 77!

The Nets overtook the score again!

There are 7 seconds left in the race!

The Wizards called a final timeout!

Many fans at the scene felt that their bodies were a little uncontrollable and trembling.

The hearts of the people beaten by the king mountain really can't stand it.

After a timeout, the Wizards had one last chance to attack.

The win or defeat is only one goal, and scoring or not scoring are two completely different endings.

After the Wizards sideline ball was released, it turned into Pierce's hand, and "Truth" hit Joe Johnson with his back for the final 5 seconds.
