Chapter 424: An Unexpected Whistle
"Tall, big, big, big......" With the cheers of the home team fans in the Barclays Center, the absolute core of the Brooklyn Nets returned to the court at 5 minutes and 50 seconds into the fourth quarter.
Deron Williams, Kauay Leonard, Kenneth Faried, and Marsin Gortat formed a semicircle in the center of the field, leaving a single vacancy.
And this lack is facing the slow march to the court tall and strong, they are waiting for the tall and strong to return, only the return of the tall and strong can form the strongest roster of this Brooklyn Nets team.
"Come on!" The palms of the five people on the field were put together!
After the tall and strong came on the court, Deron Williams did not hesitate in the slightest, and immediately passed the ball to the tall and strong on the flank after dribbling to the front court.
After receiving the ball, the tall man looked up at Paul Pierce in front of him, and then looked up at the score on the big screen: 85:75.
With six minutes to go, the Boston Celtics still hold a 10-point lead.
"Pop", "Pop" is tall and strong, and after two consecutive crotch dribbles, the tall and strong accelerates violently, and it looks like he is about to break through from Paul Pearce's left wing.
Paul Pierce has long been prepared for a strong breakthrough on the right side of the tall and strong, and in the pre-game preparation, Paul Pierce, with the help of the Boston staff, summed up the breakthrough characteristics of the tall and strong season.
"Snap" step, at the moment of the tall and strong start, Paul Pierce took a big stride at the same time, just stuck in a suitable position. It also happens to be able to prevent the breakthrough of the tall and strong explosive.
But at this moment, Gao Dazhuang suddenly dribbled with a backhand, and the ball was instantly transferred to the other side of the tall and strong side.
"What? Left? Paul Pierce looked at the tall and strong in surprise, and then the tall and strong decisively changed direction, and hit two consecutive combos, which instantly flashed Paul Pierce's defense.
Although Paul Pierce is slightly stronger in height and weight than Tall and Strong, and his strength is not inferior to Tall and Strong, in terms of speed, he is obviously not as tall and strong.
The continuous change of direction allowed Gao Da Zhuang to break through Paul Pearce's defense, and Gao Da Zhuang took advantage of the situation to get to the basket.
At this time, Kevin Garnett, another veteran of the Boston Celtics, appeared under the basket in time, and his defensive awareness was evident at this moment.
Garnett's defensive positioning is very good. The long arms that were spread out quickly blocked most of the space for the tall and strong to attack.
"Smack", but the tall and strong who have already gained momentum, of course, have no reason to retreat. Jump straight up with a direct stride, while Kevin Garnett also pulls up on the spot to block.
With a "Peng", the two inevitably collided with each other, and the momentum of the tall and strong was stopped. But at the same time, Kevin Garnett was directly knocked back by the tall and strong "tough".
Although knocked back in the air. But Kevin Garnett still stretched out his long arms to stop his opponent. At this time, the tall and strong took a sideways turn very calmly, and with the ability to stay in the air, he waited to pull away from Kevin Garnett's position and made a left-handed pick-and-roll.
"Brush" sound. Tall and strong pick-and-shoot basket hit.
85:77
After the goal, the tall man waved his arms vigorously, and the rest of the Brooklyn Nets players and the fans on the sidelines cheered together.
Paul Pierce gave Kevin Garnett a bitter look, and the tall and strong left-handed breakthrough and left-handed pick-and-roll made them a little stunned.
However, the Boston Celtics are worthy of being a veteran powerhouse, and they did not mess with themselves because of this "earth-shattering" layup.
In the next round of offense, first Paul Pierce made a high-quality block for Rajon Rondo in the high post, and then Rajon Rondo, who hit the inside, had a "fake fax shot" with Kevin Garnett.
With a "brush", Rondo immediately returned a two-point salute.
At 87:77, the difference between the two sides remained at 10 points.
At this time, all eyes in the audience were focused on the tall and strong, and all the Brooklyn Nets fans were expecting their core to fight back.
Tall and strong dribbled past half court, Paul Pierce immediately posted up, and he still defended the tall and strong right hand this time, but on the left, Rajon Rondo just stood in an excellent position to fill in, ready to attack.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang......" The ball shuttled repeatedly under the tall and strong crotch, and suddenly the tall and strong figure shook violently, and Paul Pierce on the opposite side also looked nervous.
However, Gao Dazhuang did not rush forward, but suddenly pulled up on the spot and shot directly one meter away from the three-point line.
But at the moment when Gao Da Zhuang made a move, one palm was still sealed on Gao Da Zhuang's face, it was Paul Pierce, and his super comparative reading ability helped him predict success in advance.
Paul Pearce's block blocked the sight of the tall and strong, and although the ball was still shot smoothly, the tall and strong were obviously still affected a little.
With a "dang", the tall and strong shot hit the front of the basket.
The Boston Celtics pair Kevin Garnett and Jeff Green, Brandon Bass quickly withdrew to the basket and soon tangled with Marsin Gortat and Kenneth Faried of the Brooklyn Nets.
But the basketball that bounced off was the first to be touched by a figure from the periphery, and with a "brush" sound, with a slight touch of an arm, the ball changed track and smoothly slid into the net.
It's tall and strong!
Just burst into the penalty area, the first to touch the basketball was Gao Dazhuang, after missing the three points from the perimeter, he quickly rushed to the penalty area, and took the lead in grabbing the first point among a bunch of long men.
87:79
The tall and strong scored four points in a row, which completely inspired the fighting spirit of this young Brooklyn Nets team.
Soon Kenneth "Half-Orc" Faried also scored a goal in a mess under the basket, and Kawhai Leonard also hit a half-volley......
The gap between the two sides is narrowing, and the cheering of the enthusiastic fans in the Barclays Centre arena at home is getting louder and louder.
There was a loud "pop". The Boston Celtics' starting point guard, Rajon Rondo, had just broken through Deron Williams' defense, but his layup was pinned down on the rebound by a tall man from the wing.
"Drink" tall and powerful roared, he kept proving himself in both offense and defense.
With 30 seconds left before the end of the game, the score was 91-89, and the Boston Celtics led by one point on the road, but the ball was in the hands of the Brooklyn Nets.
"Run, cover, cover" Nets head coach Johnson stood on the sidelines and excitedly shouted the conductor.
The Nets' last offense, with tall and strong holding the ball.
With a "Peng", Deron Williams made a block and pick and roll with the tall man at a 45-degree angle on the flank, but defender Paul Pierce handled it quite well, and Deron Williams' cover barely affected him. As soon as the tall and strong were about to cut Paul Pierce, he appeared in front of the tall and strong again in time.
But the tall and strong immediately deceived Paul Pierce's center of gravity with an extremely realistic dotted probe feint. At this time, the tall and strong accelerated violently, and instantly broke through from Pierce's flank.
Just as the tall man had just crossed Paul Pearce's defense, the Green Army's starting point guard, Rajon Rondo, burst in from the side and tried to steal.
Tall and strong, homeopathic one sideways. "Peng" sounded. Stuck Rajon Rondo behind. Rondo, who was slightly thin, was directly knocked away by the tall and strong one.
Almost everyone subconsciously glanced at the referee, but Gao Dazhuang didn't, as he expected. The referee did not blow the whistle for this normal collision.
The tall and strong took the opportunity to take a stride and successfully hit the basket, compared with the tall and strong decisiveness, at this time, even the old and spicy Kevin Garnett's reaction was half a point slower.
Tall and strong stepped on the reasonable collision zone line, folded and lifted off under Garnett's defense, super air and good flexibility of the body allowed Kevin Garnett to increase his defensive moves.
"Beep" At this time, the referee's whistle blew, and Kevin Garnett was fouled defensively! But at the same time, with a "brush", the ball also stumbled into the net.
91:91
Score and add penalty!
The home fans at the Barclays Center were completely boiling, and the players rushed up from the field or from the bench to the tall man.
However, Gao Dazhuang stopped his teammates very calmly, and then slowly stood on the free throw line.
As a result, the referee came to the basketball, Gao Dazhuang slapped the ball and then took a deep breath, looked at the basket, bent his knees slightly, and raised the ball to the upper right side of his head.
The lower limbs kicked the legs and exerted force, the body then stretched forward and upward, the ball was shot, and the "brush" sounded, and the tall and strong penalty hit.
91:92
With less than 10 seconds left before the end of the game, the Brooklyn Nets, playing at home, regained the lead.
"Defend, defend, defend......" The entire arena resounded with a neat shout, and as long as they held on to this ball, the Brooklyn Nets would win this difficult game.
The Boston Celtics' final offensive attack was initiated by Paul Pearce, who made a very stealthy break, relying on his broad frame, and quickly scrambled past the tall and strong wing.
However, the tall and strong still stuck to him, but after Paul Pierce broke through halfway, he suddenly distributed the ball to Rajon Rondo on the outside.
Rajon Rondo played more decisively, and after a step-back, he made a jump shot, and there was a "dang" sound, but Rajon Rondo was not a shooter, and his half-volley shot missed.
Fortunately, Kevin Garnett accidentally grabbed this key offensive rebound, and after running out of time, Garnett split the ball in the bag of several people from the Brooklyn Nets.
3、2……
Seeing that the clock was about to run out, Rajon Rondo immediately made a throw in front of Deron Williams.
With a "dang", Rajon Rondo's throw still missed, the ball hit the basket and bounced high, and the ball fell again on the basket.
With a "snap", the tall and strong jumped up in the middle of a bunch of long men under the basket and hit the ball out with his hand.
But just when Gao Dazhuang was about to celebrate his first victory in the playoffs, there was a "beep", and the referee's whistle sounded unexpectedly. (To be continued......)
