Chapter 961: Defeat the Spurs and Enter the Finals! (Ask for a commuter pass)

10.10 seconds, this is a miracle comparable to the Miller moment of 8.9 seconds and 8 minutes, and it can even be said that it is possible to surpass the Miller moment of that year, after all, the Miller moment of that year was the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and this game could not decide the final victory or defeat.

And now, Maddy's 10.10 seconds is the fifth game that happened in the Eastern Conference Finals, when the Boston Celtics lost and were eliminated, and in terms of difficulty, the Pacers trailed by 6 points with almost 20 seconds left in the end, and this time, the Boston Celtics trailed by 8 points with less than 11 seconds left, which is almost an impossible thing to do.

"It's a desperate situation."

Zhuang Fei looked at the video of the game's 'Maddie Moment' that appeared on the webpage and sighed with some emotion.

When the Boston Celtics trailed by 8 points in the last 11 seconds of this game, judging from the video, the commentator of this game has already begun to congratulate the New York Knicks on entering the Finals in advance, and also when Jay Williams was almost stealed by Marbury with 11 seconds left in the last 11 seconds because of too much pressure, the Boston Celtics head coach Larry Brown on the screen has collapsed on the ground.

In the end, fortunately, Marbury did not break the ball directly, but touched the ball to the sideline, and the ball was still on the Celtics' side, and at this time Larry Brown even forgot to call a timeout, in fact, for many people, such a situation, the Boston Celtics have no need to call a timeout, after all, it is impossible to chase it back, but what people didn't expect was that everything that happened in less than 11 seconds was next. The fans of Madison Garden instantly went from ecstasy to speechlessness.

There are 10.5 seconds left in the race. Boston Celtics serve sideline ball. The player who served the sideline ball this time was no longer the team's small forward Prince, but was replaced by the team's leading player Yao Ming, whose vision and passing ability would not make him make mistakes, of course, the Boston Celtics This change was naturally not arranged by Larry Brown, at this time the Boston Celtics head coach was still in a trance on the sidelines, which should be the self-assertion of Yao Ming and other Celtics veterans.

And it is this self-assertion, Yao Ming uses his height and passing ability. When the ball was thrown directly into the hands of Maddie, who was two steps away from the three-point line at the top of the arc, this miraculous moment also began.

After receiving Yao Ming's sideline pass, Maddie faced Odom, who was still one step away from him, the Celtics' leading player just glanced at Odom, and pulled up directly in front of Odom, who did not plan to step forward to defend, this was ready to throw three points, and when Maddie pulled up and threw three points, the New York Knicks player who defended Maddy looked at Maddie in surprise and didn't know what was going on, after all, this is two steps outside the three-point line, In the entire NBA, those who can dare to pull out so directly are except for the Fan Maniac in the New York Knicks and Szzelbiak in the Lakers. He had never seen a third dare to do that.

But now is the Celtics' life and death moment, and it's understandable that Maddie is desperate to do so. It's just that as for whether it can be scored in the end, even the most die-hard Celtics fans themselves don't believe that Maddie's goal can be thrown, after all, this season under the leadership of Larry Brown, Maddie has not played such an offense, even under the leadership of Zhuang Fei, Maddie is not so offensive, in fact, no one in the league is so offensive except Fan Maniac.

It's just terrifying that this three-pointer, which is thrown outside the three-point line in the eyes of many people, finally magically bounced three times on the basket and then bounced into the basket, which made the Celtics, who were 81-89 behind the New York Knicks 8 points, chase the score of the game to 84-89, which is still an impossible score to catch up.

However, after Maddy's ball, the next scene was a little funny, when the ball returned to the hands of the New York Knicks, basically everyone knew that the Boston Celtics would definitely use foul tactics at the last moment, and in fact, the Boston Celtics did this, but for the New York Knicks, they naturally couldn't let the Celtics easily foul this foul.

So almost everyone is receiving the ball after quickly dribbling two steps and then dodging the Celtics' foul players to hand over the ball to their teammates, this is a time-consuming tactic, when the New York Knicks' last basketball came to Odom's hands, he had been forced to the corner of the sideline and had nowhere to run, and at this time Maddie had already flown over, and when Maddie touched him, the core player of the New York Knicks didn't know if it was because it was a little scary to see Maddie rushing up, Actually took a small step back.

Of course, at the home court of the New York Knicks, such a small step naturally cannot be blown away, but although Odom was not blown away, he was blown out of bounds, half of his foot was already out of bounds, and Maddie was about to touch him in a straight line, and the referee standing on the realization was already frantically making Odom's out-of-bounds gestures.

Such a sudden event is a bit nonsensical for both the Boston Celtics players and the New York Knicks players, just like Phil Jackson said in the post-game interview, he didn't understand why Odom took a half-step back in a daughterly posture, but anyway, the ball returned to the Boston Celtics again, and at this time, the game was only less than 5 seconds left, The last time was 4.9 seconds, and this time, in the first two times, one did not stare at Maddie and let Maddie shoot a super long-distance three-pointer, once because of his own mistake to let Odom lose the ball, this time when Yao Ming also sent the sideline ball, he didn't dare to be careless at all, but before Yao Ming didn't pass the ball, even if Maddie was already two steps outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, the New York Knicks player was also close to him.

Only this time, what made him even more tragic was that although his closeness was tight enough, Yao Ming used his vision to throw the ball into Maddy's hand, and for the current Boston Celtics, there is basically no time for the team's offense to think. Even now Odom was clinging to himself. Maddie after receiving a pass from Yao Ming. At this time, there was still a step away from the top of the arc, and I had to jump again.

However, for Maddie, he has been practicing shooting with Kirilenko under Zhuang Fei, although Odom is tall, but it is not a little worse than Kirilenko, especially the defensive actions are extremely non-standardized, in this case, Maddie actually has a choice. is to make a foul, and after Maddie jumped, he used his talent to control his body in the air and waited in the air for a while, and Odom was indeed fooled, when he saw that Maddie's right hand that was about to shoot was still waiting for a while and did not shoot, his hand had already slapped on Maddie's wrist, and Odom fouled the ball, and the referee was in front of him.

After seeing Odom fooled, Maddie's heart was also relieved. The basketball in his hand was also thrown out by him, and he didn't know if the ball could go in. He is not God, the last ball is the one who has to attack without a choice, and naturally it is blind, and whether the ball is scored or not, his strategy is considered a success, because the moment the ball is shot, he has already heard the referee blow the whistle, and he did not run away after three free throws. And Maddie, who was falling in the air at this time, saw Odom's frightened face changed and Odom, and he was also relieved, this round of the series Boston Celtics played too badly.

It's just that what Maddie or almost everyone didn't expect was that this time the shot was even more difficult than the last time, and the ball didn't bounce on the basket many times like the previous ball, but went directly into the net and drilled into the basket.

Three points are valid, plus one free throw.

Watching the referee make a gesture, is this time when the New York Knicks fans or Maddy or Odom, or other players on the court are blinded, can such a goal be scored?

At this time, Larry Brown, who just thought that Jay Williams' mistake had not eased up on the sidelines, was a little confused when he saw Maddy's extremely unreasonable attack, and when this goal was scored in his opinion that was extremely unreasonable, he didn't know how to describe his current mood at all, but he knew that his psychology was very complicated at this time.

Of course, at this time, the head coach of the Boston Celtics, Larry Brown, was in a mixed mood, and similarly, Phil Jackson on the other side was similar, regardless of whether Maddy was blinded at this time, these two three-pointers made the advantage of the New York Knicks not so obvious, especially after Maddy's ball and free throws, and now the score on the court has become 88-89.

This kind of score is not unchasable, although there are less than 4 seconds left in the game, but the Boston Celtics still have a timeout, they can complete the foul tactics, as long as they throw in one more three-pointer at the end, then the game will be a draw, and this has to be the New York Knicks themselves after the Boston Celtics fouled two free throws, and at this time it is obvious that after Maddy's two extremely unscientific three-point throws, the mood of the New York Knicks players has changed a little.

In this case, Phil Jackson quickly asked for a timeout, ready to lay out the next game strategy, now for New York, absolutely cannot lose, the finals are just around the corner, in this case, if you lose, then the next game is difficult to say.

This time, after the timeout, Phil Jackson naturally arranged a time-wasting tactic, but this time he didn't dare to let the New York Knicks players continue to guide the ball to consume, but directly served to Marbury on the sideline, and let Marbury use his speed to take two more steps, and consume as much as he could, and this time, when Marbury was caught up by Jay Williams and fouled, The game time on the spot is still 1.9 seconds, this time is a lot of pressure for the New York Knicks, the last game of their own team Fan Maniac was in a shorter time than this three-point three-point kill Celtics to get the match point, in this case, the Boston Celtics can also play three-point tactics at this time, at this time if the New York Knicks don't want to be really killed like the last game, then they must hit both free throws.

At this time, the atmosphere in Madison Garden was very tense, and it could even be said that everyone was nervous, and the most nervous of them was naturally the team's second-in-command lone wolf Marbury, and the hands of the league's first-line point guard were shaking at this time.

But even so, the New York Knicks star used a bit of a lot of power when he threw the first free throw with his throat raised, when the basket hit the blue neck. All the New York Knicks fans gasped. Even Marbury's own face was miserable. On the other side, Phil Jackson and Larry Brown were almost nervous and about to kneel, but the basketball that was hit on the blue neck because of too much power was like Maddie's first three-point before, bounced twice on the basket and then bounced into the basket, Marbury was also relieved after seeing this scene, this is a lucky shot, but although this ball was shot as lucky as Maddie's first three-point, but the second shot was not as hollow as Maddie, but the power was too short and smashed on the front edge. There is no way to give him another chance to bounce in this time.

"Yao, rebound"

Almost at the moment when Marbury's basketball smashed in front of the basket, all the players on both sides moved, and at this time Xiao Ao and O'Neal were the fastest, but because of the position, Xiao Ao was desperately blocking in front of O'Neal, at this time, the expression on the Celtics' core inside line was a little painful, and Yao Ming didn't have time to care about what his teammates were like, the Chinese inside line called a timeout after receiving this extremely critical backcourt rebound with the help of Xiao Ao.

With 1.9 seconds left in the game, the Boston Celtics trailed 88-90. Hope came again, and at this time, Larry Brown, who had been extremely embarrassed for some time, was already happy. The heart that had fallen into the cliff was also pulled up again.

With nearly two seconds left, it was enough for him to set up a two-point strategy to drag the game into overtime.

At this time, Larry Brown was very excited, he thought that his team would finally be able to survive, and the head coach of the New York Knicks on the other side, Phil Jackson, was a little tragic at this time, and the previous series of mistakes and mistakes directly made the fate of this team not in his own hands now, especially in such a lead of 2 points, the opponent has the ball, and the time is not short, because the other party can have a lot of choices, whether it is two points or three points, whether it is shooting, breaking through can also be, In this way, the New York Knicks need to defend more aspects, and how to set up this defense is a little difficult.

Phil Jackson is a little difficult to do at this time, but at this time Larry Brown is not difficult to do, his tactic is that Maddie sends Yao Ming a sideline ball, using Yao Ming's shooting and height to kill in the middle distance, Yao Ming's mid-range shooting rate this season is more than 55%, if it is an empty opportunity, such a shooting rate will be higher, it can be said that as long as Yao Ming can receive the ball, the Boston Celtics have more than 6 percent or even higher chance of killing.

It's just that what makes Larry Brown's face a little ugly is that after he arranged this tactic, when the Boston Celtics players came on the court with facial expressions, the player standing on the sideline was not Maddie he arranged, but Yao Ming twice in front of him, at this time Maddie was still standing at the top of the arc, and the team's other inside O'Neal Jr. also mentioned the position above the free throw line, it seems that the Boston Celtics are ready to break through the empty line, at least after seeing this arrangement, Phil Jackson thinks so, of course, in addition to Phil Jackson, Larry Brown also thinks so, so seeing some of his own players who are not very obedient at this time, the Boston Celtics head coach's face is also slightly better, although he is not doing it according to his arrangement, but the choice of breaking through is also acceptable.

However, when the Celtics' last attack was launched, Larry Brown and Phil Jackson, who had been standing on the side, changed their faces at the same time, because this time the Celtics' cooperation was not a breakthrough at all, but a very simple little Ao to cover up, Maddie took advantage of Xiao Ao's cover to get rid of the defender After receiving Yao Ming's pass, he dribbled to the right side, and at this time, Yao Ming, who passed the ball on the sideline, immediately entered the court to block Maddie again, At this time, facing the three-point line from the right sideline, there was an open opportunity.

Faced with the opportunity to cover for his two closest teammates, Maddie barely hesitated to shoot right under the noses of Phil Jackson and Larry Brown.

After the ball was thrown, Maddie didn't know if the ball could be scored, because the three-point shot was not his strong point after all, it was like this from under Zhuang Fei's hands, but whether this was his strong point or not, whether this goal could be scored or not, but there was no doubt about it. This is the kind of basketball he wants to play. This is the basketball he has always missed. If the head coach of the Celtics on the sidelines of the court at this time is Zhuang Fei, in this case, Maddie absolutely believes that Zhuang Fei will support them to play like this, as for Larry Brown's arrangement, Maddie is a little scoffed.

They need victory, not lingering.

But no matter what, this ball Maddie shot. At this time, the New York Knicks fans in the stands who thought they would definitely win and had even begun to celebrate, had no sound at this time, and they were all waiting for the result of this shot.

Again, it's not just the New York Knicks fans on one side who are waiting for the result, it's the others, both the players and the head coaches of both sides, that it was the decisive goal because the basketball flew to the top and the game time was running out.

brush

An extremely crisp sound of a basketball crossing the net indicated that the ball was hollow into the net, and at this time, Maddie, who threw the ball, had already fallen from the air, and her right hand had been raised high. The moment the basketball hit the net, the Celtics' right hand raised high into a fist.

The three-point lore was successful. The final score was 91-90, and the Boston Celtics reversed the New York Knicks with a miracle of 10.5 seconds and 10 minutes by their own player to save the Celtics.

And just when all the Celtics players were stunned and rushed to Maddie frantically, the video clip on this end was also over.

"It was a good game, but neither Phil Jackson nor Larry Brown would be happy after the game."

Zhuang Fei didn't know what the expressions of Larry Brown and Phil Jackson were now, but Zhuang Fei definitely knew that Phil Jackson must be very painful at this time, and Larry Brown must be very complicated, the team's desperate victory made him happy, but the way the team won in the end made him at a loss.

Zhuang Fei doesn't know what Larry Brown's final offense was for the Celtics, but Zhuang Fei also knows the last few offenses of Celtics Maddy, which is definitely not the offense arranged by Larry Brown, because in the end, the Celtics' offensive method is full of the shadow of the Celtics led by Zhuang Fei last season or that year.

Casual, chic, only seeking victory, and very spiritual. This kind of offense is not something that an extremely serious manager like Larry Brown can accept.

"It seems that Larry has lost control of the Boston Celtics," Zhuang Fei finally closed the webpage, leaning back in his chair and sighing a little embarrassed.

The Boston Celtics players have been very professional this season, and they have been holding on to Larry Brown's orders for most of the season, whether they want it or not, but now on the verge of the Celtics' elimination, these players finally refuse to believe in him anymore, especially the Cash Celtics players like Maddie, Yao Ming and Xiao O.

Of course, it's not a good thing for a coach to lose control of the team, it's also not a bad thing, and they wouldn't do it if they weren't in a desperate situation.

"I hope the Celtics can take this opportunity to get back their own basketball," and finally Zhuang Fei couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his years with the Celtics.

The game between the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics was very exciting, and the miracle of Maddy's 10.10 seconds in the end can be said to be unprecedented, and it is difficult to have anyone behind, in this case, the focus of the national media on the second day is also conceivable, plus the game between the Lakers and the Spurs is basically no longer suspenseful, it can be said that at this time, all the media in the United States are focused on New York and the Celtics.

This is completely different after the start of the division finals, the focus is on the Lakers, and this can also imagine the meaning of this victory or the significance of Maddie's moment this time, this is definitely not a regular season game that can be compared, just like even in Zhuang Fei's previous life, although Maddie also had a 35 seconds and 13 minutes thing, but this matter was not treated well by the mainstream media, except for the Chinese media or Chinese fans who kept saying 'Maddie moment', the American media never ' In the United States, there is only one recognized lore named after "moment", and that is the "Miller moment".

And that's the difference between the playoffs and the regular season, and again, this Maddie moment in the most crucial game of the division finals definitely surpassed the Miller moment.

Of course, for Zhuang Fei, the Boston Celtics' thrilling victory made him happy, but in addition to this, he didn't pay more attention to the current ideas of the outside media, and even he was very happy about the snobbery of these media, Zhuang Fei hoped to beat the Spurs in such an atmosphere.

However, what made Zhuang Fei a little unexpected was that because of Maddy's incident, the Lakers encountered some trouble, and the Spurs, who should have no fighting spirit in the eyes of many people, at the pre-game press conference, whether it was the team's head coach Popovich or the two leaders of this team, Kidd and Duncan, all mentioned Maddy's name The Maddie moment that has just been staged, obviously, such a hint is already obvious, this team was inspired by Maddy and the Celtics just now, The Celtics were able to pull back tenaciously in that situation, and their Spurs are in a much better position than the Celtics right now.

"Lose? Yes, we've prepared for the loss, and now we're in a tough situation, it's unimaginably hard, but we're not going to give up now, just like yesterday's game between the Celtics and the New York Knicks, I think the Lakers fans must have celebrated in advance like the New York Knicks fans, but we're going to make them suffer as much after the game as the New York Knicks fans, and we're going to have our own Maddie moment."

This is Popovich's speech at the pre-game press conference, and this speech and interview have clearly shown his current mood and the current mood of the Spurs as a team, desperate, but full of hope.

Of course, Zhuang Fei didn't care too much about Popovich's current hopeful mood, and he even cared more about the New York fans and the Knicks who Popovich said had become negative teaching materials, because after the last game, New York, which had finally gotten rid of the shadow of Miller's moment, would usher in Maddy's moment again, and this time I don't know if ten years can wash away this shadow.

It doesn't really matter if Zhuang Fei comes to Popovich full of motivation right now, as long as he is not Phil Jackson.

In fact, Zhuang Fei is indeed not Phil Jackson, because in the sixth game between the Spurs and the Lakers, which is also the home game of the Spurs, the team playing at home lost 111-127 at home, and the Los Angeles Lakers did not give the Spurs any chance.

4-2, the Los Angeles Lakers once again took the lead in the next round, which is the final Finals.
