Chapter 489: Fight with all your might
The counterattack brought by the high-quality defense allowed the Kings to extend their lead to 12 points at once. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Otard was a little confused, since he was shaken down by Wang Weiyu, his state was not quite right.
Otard wasn't without his moments, but that was limited to the regular season. It's the first time Peggy has seen Otard like this in the playoffs.
He is too lazy to wake him up now, the most important thing at the moment is to score points to avoid the point difference being widened by the Imperial team. Peggy dribbled past, and Montgomery's defense was just about to go up, only to see Peggy's feet more than a meter away from the three-point line, and he opened his hand to make three points.
"Huh!" Peggy shot the cold arrow. The ball stopped the bleeding for the Celtics, and the margin returned to within 10 points.
"Don't relax, don't let him go." Wang Weiyu reminded. Montgomery knew that Peggy wasn't an explosive ball-handling attacker. He has the ability to break through, but he doesn't have the ability to completely get rid of defenders. At least his breakthrough was acceptable compared to the opponents Montgomery had faced in the previous rounds.
Wang Weiyu is at her best. Although Otard is out of power on offense, the intensity of the defense is still there. The two forced each other, and Wang Weiyu was the first to get out of it. With some distance from the three-point line, he picked up the ball and threw it forward.
A far and high hanging pass, directly into the hands of Marley Cecil. Cecil was not in a hurry to attack after getting the ball, and cleverly used a feint to shake Duruk up from his side, wiped his feet, and scored sideways baskets. After scoring 2 points, he didn't forget to say to Duruk: "Why are you like a monkey?" "Because you look like a fool." Duruk replied.
Cecil was amused, "So, you're a monkey who has been shaken by a fool?" Great! I'm a fool, you're a monkey, that's it. "It's so decided... Duruk didn't agree, and Cecil helped him make a decision.
"Great! I love the rhythm! Carmen said excitedly: "In the absence of two main players, the chemistry of the Saravo Emperor has reached the highest point since the start of the Grand Finals. If they continue to play like this, they have a great chance of winning the trophy at home. "Don't talk so early, old man." Kelsen wants Carmen to keep a low profile.
"MΓΆngke, go up! Get up to me! Alva shouted impatiently. Montgomery listened to the sound and took the initiative to put pressure on Peggy. The sudden high-intensity defense almost made Peggy not react, and immediately turned sideways to block Montgomery's body, and firmly controlled the ball under his hands.
Peggy was looking for his teammates left and right, and suddenly, Otard came running from the three-point line he had always stood on. Peggy regretted the ball as soon as it came out. Just behind Otard, Wang Weiyu stretched out his long arm and pulled the ball out from behind Otard.
Peggy didn't have time to pick up the ball, and Montgomery picked it up in front of him. Another successful defense. The Kings quickly counterattacked, led by Montgomery, who took the lead and crashed to the basket like a fast horse to score a layup.
"Beautiful!" The audience boiled, this is a typical imperial moment. The counter-attacking fast break created with a suffocating defense is the Emperor's forte.
With this blow, the margin widened to 13 points. Celtics head coach Max Weir couldn't sit still and immediately called off the game.
Will yelled with his red neck, unhappy with the team's performance. After scolding, I have to hurry up and arrange the next play. The Imperials are a bit more relaxed, the current squad is very good, Alba does not plan to change the lineup, and he only emphasizes one point about the lineup: "This is the result of the defense!" That's the beauty of defense! Keep up this defense and crush them! β
Otard came with the ball in his hands, as if he had been woken up by Will. Wang Weiyu couldn't feel the change in him, and Otard still went his own way. Habitually outside the tunnel, stop the ball, wait for teammates to block and dismantle, borrow the wall to pass through Wang Weiyu's defense, and shoot from a long distance.
"Bang!" Jeff Hogan, who assists in defense, doesn't think he's interfering with Otard. No one interferes with such a shot. The only one who can interfere with Otard is himself.
Otard's poor performance continued until the end of the first half. During this period, Peggy and Duruk of the Boston Celtics played well. It was the play of the two of them that kept the game in suspense.
"56 to 41... It's so much ahead. Wang Weijue asked Qin Wei: "Didn't you say that the opponent's strength is stronger?" "That's true on paper, but basketball is not a card game, and you can't play cards to be powerful." Qin Wei explained. Wang Weijue still didn't understand, so he had to look at Wang Qingqing, "Qingqing, let's go buy something to eat, okay?" β
"I want to see Daddy." Wang Qingqing looked at Wang Weijue with wide eyes. Wang Weijue couldn't stand this look the most, "Dad went to rest, let's go eat something, and then continue to cheer for Dad when we come back." When Wang Qingqing heard this, he reluctantly agreed.
Qin Wei looked back, Liu Shu didn't seem to know what was happening on the field, and Wang Chengfeng was talking about the game with the strangers around him in fluent English.
In the away team lounge. Peggy stood in front of Otard and picked up a cold towel and threw it on his head, "Think about why we're here. Think about how much effort we've put into it along the way. Finally, think about how much the people in this room expect from you. β
"And what the hell did you do?" Peggy said excitedly. Otard wiped the towel and his neck and said, "You're so long-winded. "What?" Peggy glared.
Otard stood up, the towel on his head grabbed in his hand, "I promise...", he saw that everyone was looking at him, so he accentuated: "We will win!" β
After a few seconds of silence, Duruk asked, "Why not in the name of God?" "From now on, it's not about God, and in my name Otard Bryan, I promise we're going to win this game and get back home to win it." Otader said loudly.
"To win this game, we just need to guard against Otard Bryan." Alva said loudly in the break room.
Montgomery asked, "Isn't it prevented?" Alba said: "Yes, we defended Otard in the first half. But there's still the second half, and the second half is the key. β
"Coach, how is Arte's injury?" Raglan asked. Alva shook his head and said regretfully: "It may be a concussion, but more tests are needed, he has been taken to the hospital and will not play again tonight." β
Although they had already prepared for this, hearing Alva say this, everyone's hearts were still melancholy. In this way, the Imperial team only has two inside lines. Two substitute insiders will play the remainder of the game.
Soon after, the staff came over to inform them that the second half of the game was about to begin.
Merris got up from his position, he didn't fit in with the rest of the room, because he was wearing a suit.
"Go for it! Brothers! Merris said. The others stepped forward, clasped their hands together, and shouted in unison.
