In the third quarter of the game, the Knicks completely controlled the rhythm, and they chased 12 points in a single quarter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But the pit ahead was just too big, and at 73:81, they were still eight points behind.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Crawford and Richardson finally felt normal, and the two combined to score 10 points to close the gap to four points.

The Celtics felt a strong threat and immediately sent the main lineup in advance.

The Knicks reacted at the same time, sending Lehi and Marbury first.

Li Hai came to guard Pierce strictly, and Pierce was not convinced, so he wanted to suppress Li Hai alone.

Pierce's explosiveness, it is impossible to break through Lehi, and the strength of Lehi is not inferior to him, so his offense will basically end up with a jumper.

At this time, everyone's physical strength will decrease, and the decrease in physical strength will reduce the hit rate, and Pierce, under the interference of Lehi, is a continuous iron.

And the Celtics also defended Lehi strictly, and Marbury's singles were not very effective, so it was a little difficult for the main players on both sides to score after they came on the court.

This turn of events came on the inside, Eddie Curry caused Al Jefferson to have two fouls in a row, and the Celtics center suddenly had four fouls, and Lehi seized the opportunity to rush in and cause Al Jefferson to foul.

That's the price to pay for strengthening the defense, and Al Jefferson is moving a little slower.

The Celtics could only replace Al Jefferson, and they replaced Bryan Scalabryne, who had a good hand before, but Scala Bryan couldn't defend on the inside, and the Celtics wanted him to contain the Knicks on the outside, but after strengthening the defense, Scala Bryan didn't even have a chance to shoot.

At 3:54, Lehi broke through again to cause Scala Bryan's sixth foul, and with this free throw, the score was tied at 92-92.

The Celtics were forced to call a timeout, and their 25-point advantage came to naught at the best of times, and they were under a lot of pressure.

After the timeout, the Celtics played a good match, and Al Jefferson hit a 2-pointer at the end.

But after the exchange, Lehi used the cover of his teammates to rush in, and Al Jefferson did not dare to reach out and watched Lehi make a layup.

The Celtics let Al Jefferson play inside again, but he didn't hit it.

Knicks Francis dribbled to the frontcourt, and Lehi did a rare act in this game, going to the low post to ask for the ball, and Pierce quickly stuck behind Lehi.

Pierce's strength is still good, he is often beaten and bullied others, this trick is not very good for Lehi, but Lehi wants to deal with him like this.

Lehi received the ball in the low post and made a single stance, Pierce was also on standby, at this time Francis suddenly ran back and cut in, Lehi handed the ball to the ball, Francis immediately attacked the basket, Al Jefferson fouled the sixth, and the second player of the Celtics to be sent off appeared.

The Knicks' first lead after the opening came late, but the timing was extremely uncomfortable for the Celtics.

In the Celtics' next offense, Pierce tried to shoot three-pointers again, but it was iron.

Lehi missed a long-range two-point shot on the next offense, and the clock went into the final minute, with the Knicks leading by just two points at 96-94, and anything could happen before the whistle blew for the game.

The Celtics called out another timeout, and on the Knicks' side, Coach Larry Brown also made a detailed arrangement for the defense in the final moments.

This time the defense was almost to the extreme, and in the 24 seconds of offensive time, the Celtics were stunned that they didn't get any suitable chances.

In the last time, Pierce took the ball and turned left and right outside the three-point line, and just threw it, and hit the three-point whistle.

With a one-point lead and only enough time for one offense, Pierce excitedly made a three-point gesture and shouted at the Knicks' home audience.

There was some luck in this goal, and the luck of the Celtics in the first half seemed to be back, and it was still so just right, and some small spectators in the audience covered their eyes with concern.

The Knicks paused, there was enough time, and the Knicks could play a full offense, but at this time, Larry Brown still came up with a few sets of plans, and how to play it needed the players to play on the court for judgment.

Marbury received the ball, tried a breakaway to hit a quick two-pointer, and after finding no chance, he dribbled out and handed the ball to Lehi from beyond the three-point line.

There were only 10 seconds left in the offensive time of this turn, and Lehi was not in a hurry, and after taking a look at the Celtics' defense, he bowed slightly in the face of Pierce.

The team and the Knicks also played a few games, but Pierce didn't have many direct defenses against Lehi, and now the two talked directly like this, and the commentators on the sidelines were also excited.

Lehi calmed his breath and stared into Pierce's eyes, and Eddie Curry rarely came up to block and free up the basket.

Lehi suddenly moved at this time, and Pierce's reaction was also very fast, quickly about to bypass Eddie Curry's huge body, but Lehi did not go in the direction of Eddie Curry's cover at all, he rushed to the other side with a false shake, and killed the Celtics' interior line.

At this time, the two players in the Celtics surrounded them, but Lehi accelerated twice, squeezed past one person, started directly, and threw the ball out in a state of some loss of balance.

This is a foul posture, but even if there is physical contact at this time, the referee does not think about the whistle.

But Lehi wasn't going to foul at all this time, he just focused on the offense, and he was squeezed out of balance by the defenders because he didn't focus on the confrontation.

So, his final shot was very soft.

The basketball bounced off the basket and landed accurately in the basket, 98:97.

The audience cheered thunderously, a real big heart, a handsome lore.

The referee reviewed the footage and turned the clock back to 1.3 seconds, with the Celtics having one last chance.

But the Knicks' defense didn't give the Celtics a chance at all, and they made a mistake on the opponent's catch, and the game was over.

The Knicks won, and Lehi once again defended the team with his powerful abilities.

Although it was a difficult process, they still managed to win 16 in a row.

However, the process of the game also indicates that it is becoming more and more difficult for them to continue to win, not only the resistance of each team, but also the probability of defeat.

They are like tight strings, and it is not surprising that they break at any time.

'It's not about the winning streak, I said we just take every game seriously. Lehi was still calm and breezy in the interview. (To be continued.) )
