Chapter 242: Desperate Garnett
After another timeout, Wu Di and Rajon Rondo were both replaced, and the two sides went into rotation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Kobe, Gasol and Bynum are on the scene again, and the Celtics, although they are also on Pierce and Ray Allen, are not opponents of these three at all.
Without Perkins and Garnett on the inside, the Celtics simply couldn't cope with Bynum and Gasol's attacks, and were quickly pulled away.
In the second half, the two sides once again sent the main force, but the difference still could not be opened or reduced. Both sides played hard, and Rajon Rondo continued to attack the basket, hoping to take it to the Lakers' interior and help the team.
But it's a pity that Bynum and Gasol were a lot more careful and didn't give him a chance at all.
In the fourth quarter, the Celtics couldn't catch up with the score and lost the game.
It's already 3:0, and another Celtic is about to be swept away. This is the third year that the Big Three have been formed, and they won the championship in their first year. The following year, when he was trying to defend his title, Garnett was injured, and the Celtics didn't even make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. Now they are on the verge of elimination, and there has never been a case of a comeback from three losses in the NBA.
In other words, the Celtics are already certain to lose, it's just a matter of whether they can win a few games to avoid being swept away.
At the beginning of Game 4, the Celtics were not in good shape, Ray Allen had already shot 0 of 3 from the outside, and Pierce had not found a chance to shoot until now.
In the first five minutes, the Celtics trailed by 10 points. If this continues, the Celtics will be swept out. Garnett moved his shoulder, which was not very comfortable, and his shoulder was not very comfortable in the past few games against Wu Di, but now he can't care so much, he doesn't want to be swept away.
As the former wolf king, Garnett's heart is arrogant, he does not allow himself to fail, although he is still lagging behind, but he will fight to the end. He left the Timberwolves in pursuit of honor and joined the Celtics, and apparently he is still doing the final fight for honor.
Garnett jams Gasol and reaches out to Rajon Rondo for the ball.
Rajon Rondo immediately passed the ball over, and Garnett forced Gasol to play. Gasol's soft nature is evident at this time, and he often retreats when he encounters a tough interior line, afraid of confrontation.
Garnett made a few shots to get away from Garnett and made a layup. When he came back to defend, Wu Di rushed into the inside for a dunk, and Garnett left Gasol for a layup that was a slap.
"Smack!"
The ball was covered by Garnett, and Wu Di was stunned, this was the first time he was blocked. For the first time since he entered the NBA, he hasn't been blocked. Wu Di was stunned, but Garnett was not, he grabbed the basketball and threw it to Rajon Rondo, who caught the ball and threw it directly away from Fisher, and rushed to the basket to score a layup.
Wu Di was not convinced and continued to attack the inside, Pierce was squeezed away by Wu Di at once, but Garnett made up for it. Garnett tried his best to resist Wu Di and prevent him from punching inward.
Wu Di pushed it twice, but he didn't shake it. Pierce and Pierce caught up with the layup, and knocked the ball off Wu Di's hand.
"Damn!" Wu Di shouted loudly, he was a little confused, what happened to Garnett, he was able to resist his strong beating, did he take medicine?
Wu Di looked back at Garnett, who was already sweating profusely.
"How many minutes can you fight like this?" Wu Di asked.
"It doesn't matter how many minutes it takes, as long as I'm on the court, you don't want to score again." Garnett said with a look of sin on his face.
"You just try!" Wu Di gritted his teeth and said.
In the next few minutes, Wu Di kept hitting the basket, and all of them were pushed back by Garnett.
Garnett was drenched in sweat and Brand had to replace him. "KG, you can't work so hard anymore, your body won't be able to stand it."
"I've missed out on the title once and I don't want to miss it again." Garnett gasped.
Brand sighed, "Is it worth it?" ā
Garnett said: "We formed the Big Three to win the championship. But after winning the championship, we seemed to build a dynasty, but last season I was injured and we lost that opportunity. It's hard to hope for another championship now, but I don't want to be swept away, I can't afford to lose! ā
Can't afford to lose!
That's right, Garnett can't afford to lose. Not only Garnett, but Pierce and Ray Allen can't afford to lose, and everyone in the Celtics can't afford to lose. If the Celtics are swept, it's a shame for the players, the coaches and the management.
They are also the Big Three, they are the same luxury lineup, and they are also paying a lot of luxury tax, so they have been swept away, which shows that the Big Three are no longer worthy of being superstars, the team coach is no longer worthy of being the head coach, and the Celtics are not worthy of being called giants.
The Knicks, who pay a lot of luxury taxes every year, are still underdogs with a lot of stars. The Celtics have never made such a loss-making deal, and this is the essence of the giants.
Pierce and Ray Allen looked at each other, and Pierce stood up and said, "That's right, we can't afford to lose." We may not win the championship, but we must not be swept away! ā
"Refuse to sweep!" Ray Allen shouted slogans.
"Refuse to sweep!"
The morale of the Celtics suddenly soared, they wanted to refuse to sweep, they wanted to play with the momentum of a strong team.
Wu Di heard movement on the Celtic side and immediately turned his head to look over.
"What's the situation?" Wu Di didn't hear what they were talking about, and was very surprised.
"Their morale is up!" Bryant said, "You have to be careful, just now you were talking harshly to Garnett, they must be strict against you." ā
"I'm afraid he won't do that!" Wu Di said with a smile: "So you will have a chance." ā
"Then we have to feel it too!"
Kobe Bryant was joking, but after he got on the court, the joke came true, and none of the Lakers except Wu Di felt good.
Wu Di was sandwiched by Garnett and Pierce, and there was no way to pass the ball in his hand. It's really scary for two superstars to fight for their lives. The four arms firmly confined Wu Di inside, and Wu Di couldn't even pass the ball.
Soon, 24 seconds passed, the referee blew the whistle, and after 24 seconds of violation, Wu Di did not pass the ball.
After the game, the Celtics breathed a sigh of relief that they finally won one game and were not swept away.
