Chapter 132: North Shore Gardens (5)
The North Shore Gardens were immersed in a tidal and fiery atmosphere, and the audience rarely sat anymore, but all stood up.
The game has entered the fourth quarter, the Celtics 75-68, still have the upper hand, the score is not high, but they play very strongly, and the confrontation is particularly fierce.
Older people are more difficult to deal with than you think, and you can hardly make mistakes on the field.
Tang Wenlong didn't rest again at the beginning of the second half, and less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, he already felt that his breathing was not smooth, and his legs were so tired that they seemed to be filled with lead.
"Is it okay?" Iguodala walked up to Tang Wenlong's side, also holding his knees with both hands.
On the court, Hawes made two free throws, and he caused Garnett to be fouled on an inside attack.
Tang Wenlong shook his head, and then nodded, "It's a little tired, but you can still continue to play, the first time you play at this time, you have this feeling, when you used to play the regular season, you would only do it when you played overtime or back-to-back." ”
"You've put too much effort into this game, and the intensity of the playoffs and the regular season can't be compared." Iguodala has taught himself a lot of lessons, "Try not to get hit by Paul Pierce or their inside backs, which consume a lot of power when defending backs. ”
"Rajon Rondo is very disruptive to me, he has very long arms and is very fast, even if he catches me, as soon as I pass the ball, he can immediately turn around and rotate the defense."
The two exchanged questions on the court for a while, and Hawes made two free throws, one of two to 75-69.
Rondo dribbled slowly across the halfcourt and didn't start to attack until fifteen seconds later, and at 10 seconds later, Ray Allen ran out to shoot a three-pointer. Tang Wenlong defended very aggressively, reached out and interfered in front of Ray Allen, and Ray Allen missed a jumper.
The 76ers attacked, Lowry and Tang Wenlong made a block, got the opportunity to attack the interior, and the moment the Celtics contracted their defense. Hit the ground and pass to Hawes.
It's Hoyce again, jumping from almost the same position, and the flying panda looks very hideous.
"Smack!"
Unable to tell whether it was hit or hit, Garnett cut the ball off Hawes's hand, and then the basketball smashed on the floor and bounced back, which was forced by Rondo.
"He's a hitter!" Hoyce raised his hands and looked at the referee.
The referee hesitated, Rondo was already advancing rapidly, and the guys were moving quickly at this time. Half time was passed without giving the referee time to react.
The North Shore Garden immediately erupted in applause and cheers, and Hawes's brows furrowed in disbelief.
The 76ers' defense became a little messy because of Rondo's sudden attack, and before Hoyce and Speights could defend it, Rondo easily dodged Lowry's defense and killed him.
Tang Wenlong didn't think about it, and immediately moved his feet to make up for Rondo.
At this point, Ray Allen quietly ambushed into the bottom corner, and Rondo held the ball in his big hand and made a standard three-step layup in the paint area. When Deng Tang Wenlong flew up the block, he grabbed the ball with his big hand. A hand that goes around the back and juggles to the bottom corner.
Ray Allen did not adjust and was decisive with three points.
Hit! 78 to 69.
The three-pointer was crucial, and in the final moments of the game, every successful offense would be a pressure point for the opponent's psychological change, and the 76ers players saw the Celtics hit a three-pointer. It is inevitable that there will be some panic in my heart.
Even Tang Wenlong, who has always been known as a big heart, also has a somewhat ugly face.
The 76ers attacked, and Tang Wenlong asked for the ball with his back.
Iguodala's brow furrowed, but he didn't speak, from his previous perspective. Tang Wenlong is understandable to do this, after all, he is the leader of the 76ers.
Pierce was stuck on Tang Wenlong's waist, his knee bent against Tang Wenlong's calf, and in the corner where the referee couldn't see, he grabbed Tang Wenlong's clothes with his left hand.
Yang Jian of the Imperial Court sighed with emotion, "Tang Wenlong is not easy, this is the first time he has tried singles today, but every time someone will come to the bag, you see Lei Allen is here again!" ”
Su Qun said: "Now the Celtics' tactics are very clear, that is, not to give Tang Wenlong a chance to play alone, even if other 76ers players will have a good chance to be relatively vacant." But the problem is that the other players of the 76ers have no way to throw, and no one has stepped forward to help Tang Wenlong share"
"What a ball, Tang Wenlong's ball is really difficult!" Yang Jian watched the broadcast and suddenly interrupted Su Qun's explanation excitedly.
Yang Jian's speed of speech was three points faster, "Tang Wenlong turned his back and dribbled, almost made a turning feint on the spot, and then leaned back to make a jumper!" ”
Su Qun was also amazed, "This goal is really picturesque, scored against the defense of two people, this response ball is so beautiful!" ”
The Celtics just gained momentum, Tang Wenlong's unreasonable jump shot shocked them a little, after the formation of the Big Three in 07, how many people dare to be wild in this land?
"It's 22 minutes, grass, why is this guy so hard to guard." Pierce pursed his lips, he could see that Tang Wenlong's many movements were not particularly cohesive, and at first glance, he had not learned skills for a long time, but after cooperating with his strong physical fitness, it was a little incomprehensible.
This guy Pierce really can't imagine how terrifying it would be if he grew up for another two or three years?
Fortunately, he can still defend now, Pierce is quite proud, and the feeling of crushing and suppressing geniuses when he was young is really great, no wonder Olajuwon wanted to teach O'Neal to be a man at that time, although O'Neal is not inferior to him in statistics.
Pierce had a myriad of thoughts spinning through his mind for a moment, then reinvigorated himself and turned his attention to the court.
Three minutes later, the fourth quarter went into a mandatory timeout, and the Celtics still led by seven points at 84-77.
Philadelphia fans also feel that the 76ers have a chance to fight back, at least the young people should be ahead of the seniors in the final moments.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the timeout passed, the Celtics suddenly played a small climax of 8-0, and the score gap suddenly widened to 92-77!
Collins hurriedly called a timeout, surrounded by the hottest fans, but his body was cold and fell into the water.
Tang Wenlong walked back to the bench in silence, he just shot two baskets, both of which smashed on the front and rebounded back, the host of the imperial court said that he was tired, but in fact, the key was that the control of foot strength declined.
And most of his shots are the power of the soles of the feet or simply the dry pulling of the calf force, and the whole body is condensed into a force, and there is one link missing, which has a great impact on him.
Tang Wenlong looked up at the top of the arena again, the rows of lights shone down, and he couldn't see the championship flags hanging on it clearly. But Tang Wenlong knew that those flags were there, and they had never moved.
"Radiance, what a thing that leads people to forge ahead"
Tang Wenlong sighed secretly, at this moment, the North Shore Garden had fallen into a frenzy. (To be continued.) )
