By the end of the first half, the Knicks had a four-point lead over the Celtics, which was a delicate score — because you can't get it back with a ball unless you can make a three-and-one from the outside...... However, it's no longer easy to throw a three on the outside, not to mention that you have to add one?
So, at this time, the Celtics are in a more delicate situation, and they now need to bet on the power to get all their attention, and the Knicks are more resilient in this game than they can imagine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Celtics knew that the game would get tougher and tougher if it continued like this, and they began to pour all their attention into the game as soon as the third quarter began, and the two teams began to fight each other again and again, and the two teams fell into a kind of fierce crusade against each other just after the start of the second half.
The Celtics' sudden intensification of offense caught the Knicks a little off guard for a short moment, and their front line was shattered, and at this time, Ray Allen Pierce or something had already regained his strength, and they wanted to launch a counterattack against the Knicks and use the strongest defense to limit this group.
The Celtics played a few beautiful offenses, and after four minutes of the third quarter, they took a one-point lead, and the Knicks were a bit of a cup again, and they directly used such offense to tear apart the defense, and the Knicks were also a little unwilling. Zhang Chen didn't feel very good after the start of the third quarter, fortunately the ball was still in Zhang Chen's hands at this time, he came to the opponent's three-point line, and stood firm in possession, Lei Alunqing poured all his attention into it, blocking Zhang Chen's face, he followed Zhang Chen step by step with his own steps to prevent him from suddenly running past him, but he was becoming more and more unable to prevent Zhang Chen.
At this moment, Zhang Chen used an acceleration to pass directly by Lei Allen's side in an instant, his legs stepped on the ground again and again with strong force, and quickly came to the place near the free throw line, and then he quickly dodged a person, and then came to the place near the bottom line.
When Zhang Chen came to the bottom line, the Celtics had already come up to defend Zhang Chen, because Zhang Chen's breakthrough route just now broke through from the right to enter the inside line, so now they blocked Zhang Chen's forward path from the right to the basket, so Zhang Chen's strong physical fitness and individual combat ability were easily brought into play, and he stepped the ground at the bottom line, and his whole body rose into the air and directly knocked into a person. Then his body flew directly to another place in a direction parallel to the basket, and ended the attack with a beautiful look back at the moon, the basketball went into the basket, and Zhang Chen also scored two points.
The ball came to Celtic and this is when the two sides started attacking again.
The two teams collided again and again, but the two teams continued the same situation in the following games - once one team can outrun the opponent by one or two points, the other team immediately exerts its power and recovers the score, so with the last two minutes of the game, the score of the two sides is 89:87, and the Knicks are one point behind, and the ball is in the hands of the Knicks.
The game has entered the white-hot stage, and the fans have screamed into the stadium with all their might, and they have spent too much power of their voices in this game, and now their voices are a little hoarse. They are now an important source of morale for Celtic, with only two minutes left to play, but the game between the two sides feels a little unpredictable, and no one can pat their chests and say they will win.
The Knicks players want to win, and they've given their best in this game, with every offense being exhausted, and every defense using their footwork and their lineup and that defensive movement to resist the opposition's offense.
The two sides played like soldiers who had lost their last bullets, bayonets and then charged at the opponent's defenses, using all the weapons and strength that God had given them, hoping to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible.
However, both the Celtics and the Knicks find it quite difficult to beat each other.
The Celtics were all red-eyed, and everyone's wheezing sound was like an old scalper who had experienced a heavy burden, spewing out of their nostrils with heavy gasps, and their blood-red eyes were sticking to their own front, and the Knicks began to charge again and again at this time, but they were all blocked back by the Celtics.
In fact, the Celts also know that they have now fallen into a situation of the end of a strong crossbow, if they are suddenly attacked by the Knicks, they will fall directly on this battlefield, but now the Knicks have not launched such an attack, and they are like the twilight people who are still struggling, they stared, but the breath in their throats just didn't spit out.
However, the feeling of such a strong crossbow also gave them a kind of indomitable morale, and everyone seemed to be fighting with their own surnames.
And these people in the Knicks, most of them are strong and have long physical strength, so they still have their own physical advantage when facing the Celtics, but this physical advantage has not been able to be converted into their score advantage.
Zhang Chen's performance in this game is also good, so far he has scored a total of 25 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, this data is quite good, but he also did not hook up to save the situation of the Knicks, because today's Celtics played very fiercely, these old guys have burst out of their strongest strength, and people with faith in their hearts are the most difficult, so today's Celtics are also quite difficult.
Zhang Chen controlled the ball, stood one step outside the opponent's three-point line, and then began to use his right hand to direct his players to go around in the inside line, running all the time. Suddenly, he saw that both Randolph and David Lee were rushing into the deepest part of the inside line, and instantly came to the bottom of the basket.
"It's now!" Zhang Chen waited for this opportunity, and he suddenly threw his body and the basketball in his hand into the sky one step outside the three-point line, and the basketball left Zhang Chen's hands and flew in the direction of the basket.
"At this time, I chose such an uncertain way of attacking!" Many people sweated for Zhang Chen in their hearts, because at this time, if Zhang Chen couldn't shoot, he wouldn't have any victory, and he would almost pass the victory to the Celtics.
It's just that at the moment of Zhang Chen's jumper, everyone can see the confidence on Zhang Chen's face, as if they believe that a sip of water will definitely be able to be drunk into their throats!
"It should be in!" Some people changed the idea that Zhang Chen was throwing indiscriminately, but looked at the route of the ball, and they found out at this time that the bottom of the basket had basically been occupied by the Knicks' people, even if Zhang Chen's jump shot missed, most of the basketball was going to be snatched by the Knicks' people, and suddenly everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts - Zhang Chen was originally carefully calculated.
The basketball goes straight into the hoop after a period of flying! Zhang Chen's big three-point line direct jump shot, just thought that Zhang Chen would pass or score after the breakthrough, Lei Allen, was also a little stunned at this time, but it was too late, and only the high fluttering net flowers were left in the distance.
"Huh!" The sound of the basketball entering the basket completely shredded the balance that the two teams had been maintaining before, Pierce and they looked at the floating net flowers, and they all had a jaw-dropping feeling, but now it was too late to say anything, the wood was in the boat, Zhang Chen got three points, and the score gap was opened to 2 points!
"Guys, take this ball!" With 1 minute and 42 seconds left, Rondo controlled the ball past half court and then spoke to his teammates, and then the basketball passed to Pierce, who ran straight inside with his strong body and skillful speed and then used a throw to make the score a tie again.
"It's a pity......" Seeing that the score was just a draw, Pierce thought in his heart, if Zhang Chen didn't hit the three-pointer just now, the current situation should be that they have overtaken the score by one point...... But now, they're just tying the score.
The ball came to Zhang Chen's hands, there was still the last 1 minute and 20 seconds left, Zhang Chen controlled the ball and came to the outside of the half, at this time he stopped outside the three-point line again, just now the Celtics have suffered a loss, and now they dare not indulge him like this, so Pierce stepped forward to defend Zhang Chen, and he and Ray Allen completed an emergency change of defense at this time...... In fact, Pierce feels that he is better suited to defend Zhang Chen than Ray Allen.
"You're here to defend me?" Zhang Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then passed the basketball to Du Hong, looking at the smile on the corner of Zhang Chen's mouth, Pierce felt uncomfortable, seeing Zhang Chen pass the basketball out, he hurriedly followed Zhang Chen's side, and when Zhang Chen's running ability was fully exerted, he couldn't keep up with Zhang Chen at all.
However, he had already made up his mind to stay by Zhang Chen's side completely, so he quickly followed Zhang Chen's vicinity, although his breath was like a bellows, although his body had sent a warning, and even felt that his lungs had turned into a mess of rotten debris - but he still did not retreat, and he was not qualified to retreat! He followed Zhang Chen directly, Zhang Chen came to the place near the free throw line, then turned his body to receive Du Hong's pass, and then he threw his body into the air, and then twisted his body to face the basket, and then gently pushed the basketball out of his hand!
At this moment, Pierce, who suddenly followed up, had no time to defend, and could only watch Zhang Chen's basketball fly directly into the basket, Zhang Chen fell from the sky, his face full of confidence.
At the critical moment of this kind of game, Zhang Chen always dares to play, and he is also the best choice for the Knicks to shoot key shots at the most critical moments.
Zhang Chen added two more points to his score, and the clock was only 58 seconds left, and the game was getting more and more intense.
Pierce suddenly wanted to pass the basketball at the half-court, and then with the help of his teammates' cover, he suddenly rushed directly into the direction of the inside line, at this moment Pierce seemed to be a tiger out of the cage, and his whole body with a fierce wind sound, went directly to the inside line! Then, with the cooperation of his teammates, he saw that he was already moving forward in the direction of the inside line, ready to smash Huanglong! If Pierce hits the ball and then the score is tied again, the situation is quite delicate.
Pierce took advantage of everyone's cover and came to the depth of the inside line, and at this moment someone came up to defend him, but with the help of his teammates, he easily advanced into the inside line, and soon came to the basket, at this moment, he also had a kind of excitement in his heart.
He was able to equalise again and he is still the savior for Celtic at this time.
Then, with such excitement, he let his body jump very high, and his right hand rose into the air, and came to a place at the height of the basket, and he dumped the basketball in the direction of the basket!
"It's going to get in!" At this moment, he didn't dare to doubt that his basketball would enter the basket, which he took for granted, however, at this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly rushed in directly from the outside and jumped high above him!
At this moment, Zhang Chen was simply above Pierce, and in this second, Pierce also accidentally remembered the terrifying legend between the three people in the league and the basket, Zhang Chen condescendingly slapped the basketball from Pierce's hand at this moment, and at the same time roared at the rebound, so he was caught by David Lee who reflected next to him.
"Ah...... - I buried the victory...... I've ruined this season......" Pierce felt a spicy sensation in his nose for a while, and for a while he couldn't control his emotions, and this season was almost completely in vain on this ball!
Zhang Chen's cap has the usual style of his cap - there is no mud and water at all, even if the referee wants to find faults, he can't find a place at all! The ball was the same just now, Zhang Chen reached the ball very neatly, and did not touch Pierce's hand at all.
David Lee grabbed the rebound and hurriedly threw it to Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen held the basketball to deal with the opponent's possible steals, and sure enough, the opponent came up quickly, but Zhang Chen was very flexible to avoid their steals, and then controlled the ball himself for half the court.
There are only 35 seconds left in the time, Zhang Chen came to the three-point line, and then he used all his strength to shake off Xue Hong's eyes, full of national hatred and family hatred, with his own change of direction and some breakthrough skills! Zhang Chen's current breakthrough skills are basically something close to insolubility, Pierce has no way to defend Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen shook off the helpless Pierce, and quickly came to the inside line, in order not to make any moths at this critical moment, Zhang Chen patiently shook off the defenders one by one, and then ended the attack with a pick-up that was quite close to the basket.
Suddenly, there was a boo in the basketball arena, and the Celtics fans began to despair, now the Knicks have a 4-point lead, and there are 27 seconds left in the game, four points is a very delicate score, and an offense can't chase it back, unless it can play a 3+1, but it's quite difficult.
The Celtics called a timeout, Pierce was a bit of a dead face, and off the bench, the head coach gave the Celtics a foul play.
And on the Knicks' bench, although this game is still very early from the final dust to settle, but the Knicks have completely seized the score advantage, the Celtics are close to the edge of survival, each of them has a feeling of collapse, and at the same time suppresses all their negative emotions and negative physical condition, and puts all their energy on the offense and defense of the Knicks.
After restarting, the Celtics relied on a two-point shot to recover the score by two points, and then began foul tactics, but the Knicks were quite cunning, and even the foul took a little time, so with the last 14 seconds left in the game, the Celtics completed their foul, and the person who was fouled in the end was Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen, who was standing on the free throw line, took a deep breath, he was able to maintain his 94% free throw shooting rate in the playoffs this season, and now at this most critical moment, he is not allowed to have the slightest behavior of dropping the chain.
Zhang Chen took a deep breath, and then gently pushed the basketball out of his hand.
"Huh!"
"Huh!" Hit both penalties! Zhang Chen's score increased by two points, and at the same time, the score of Celtic became more and more tense, and now they are four points behind, and everything is already quite difficult.
The ball was back in the hands of the Celtics, who quickly assisted Ray Allen, who made an unreserved jump shot from beyond the three-point line! With 8 seconds left, Ray Allen hit a jumper! At this critical moment, his toughness was reflected, and after his three-point shot, for a while, this humble and quiet guy couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, and there was still one last point left in the score.
With eight seconds left, the Celtics immediately started to foul after the timeout, but this time it was Dujon.
With six seconds left, Dujon stood at the free throw line.
His free throws were crucial - if he hit both free throws, the Celtics would at best be able to drag the Knicks into an overtime, and if he made one or no free throws at all, the opponent would have the power to turn the game around, even with a three-pointer!
So, everyone looked at Du Hong with bated breath.
Dujon has embraced a way of playing this season that he has never been able to play like he has never done before, and the feeling of being able to live with wins every day has slowly given him confidence, so even in critical moments, he is full of confidence and then throws the first free throw.
"Bang!" The basketball smashed on the basket. The game became a little tight, and Zhang Chen went up and patted Du Hong's palm, signaling that he was okay.
