Chapter 187: Super Big Heart
With a two-point advantage and 29 seconds remaining, the Clippers are in a relatively advantageous position.
"Defend, defend, don't let them get an open three-point opportunity, don't foul easily, even if we are scored, we still have a few seconds, if that happens, give the ball to Lin, Wilson you are in charge of Paul, Lin you are in charge of Ray. Allen, Mario, you are in charge of Rajan, he felt good in the second half, be careful not to let go...... "Mike Dunleavy quickly laid out the final play, as long as he successfully put it down, the possibility of Celtic's offensive victory is very high.
And the Celtics bench on the Doug Murphy. Rivers is also making the final arrangements, but fortunately the Celtics are not lacking in big hearts in key moments. Allen and Pierce, as well as Garnett, were able to step up in crunch time, which gave him a little bit of peace of mind.
"Rajan, you have to control the ball and press the time, pay attention to the rhythm, and when you have the opportunity, you will shoot, and it is better to go inside, not three points." Despite Rondo's good outside touch today, Rivers couldn't pin his hopes on Rondo's three-pointers.
"Ray, you need to run, Kevin will help you cover, once you have the opportunity I believe you know how to choose." Rivers looked at Ray. Aaron said, and Ray Allen nodded at Rivers.
"PP, in the last eight seconds, when the team can't run a good opportunity, you accept the single, whether to shoot or pass to your own grasp, once the ball doesn't go in, rush to grab the rebound as soon as possible, if you can't grab it, immediately foul, come on!" Rivers shouted with a wave of his fist.
This year is undoubtedly a good year for the Celtics, after which the Big Three will be a year older, despite their strength, no one believes that they can withstand the erosion of the years, and the Celtics fans in front of the TV are anxiously waiting for the last 29 seconds to start.
A whistle blew, and the referee signaled a timeout to urge both players to come on.
Garnett stood on the sideline and prepared to serve, and everyone in the Clippers wanted to become a burden to the Celtics players at this moment, and as the referee's whistle Garnett raised the ball high to his teammates who ran out of the open space.
Rondo ran out of space with the help of his teammate's cover, and Garnett sent the ball over as soon as possible.
All the people were in place, and Lin Fei looked at the thunder in front of him. Aaron, he knows Ray. How terrifying Aaron's critical moment was, so Lin Fei didn't dare to have a trace of slackness. He runs as much as Aaron runs, Lin Fei is like thunder. Aaron's tail.
Rondo dribbled the ball at the top of the arc and pressed the time, seeing that Ray Allen couldn't run out of the space, and when the time entered the last ten seconds, Garnett pulled outside, and Pierce temporarily shook off Wilson with the help of Garnett's cover. Chandler received a pass from Rondo, and Wilson. Chandler made the first fill-in.
Twenty-four seconds of offensive time is getting less and less, and Pierce is also a little anxious, but Wilson. Chandler's defense made his offense tough, and Pierce was ready to force a shot, just then Rajan. Rondo in Garnett and Ray. Allen's double cover ran towards Pierce.
Rondo felt good in the second half today, and compared to his forced choice to shoot, Pierce decided to trust a teammate and sent the ball directly to Rondo's hands with a push.
By the time Rondo received the ball, twenty-four seconds had gone into two seconds.
Chalmers was catching up again, and time did not allow for any hesitation for Rondo, watching the basket Rondo shoot the ball directly.
Chalmers pounced on Rondo with all his might, and a gentle wipe under the basketball made Chalmers relax, "Rebound!" Rondo and Chalmers shouted almost simultaneously.
Staples is looking forward to their victory, and with that rebound they will take a 2-0 overall lead.
The ball arced higher when it was touched by Chalmers's fingers, and the basketball fell from the highest point to the basket.
The eyes of the Staples fans widened as the basketball slammed into the hoop and bounced high.
All eyes were on the ball bouncing off the basket.
God may be a mischievous child, the ball bounces up and down on the basket and bounces up again, and everyone's heart on the Clippers is tangled together, watching the twenty-nine seconds go into seven seconds.
"Will it come in?"
This question appeared in the minds of countless people, but unfortunately no one can answer it now, everyone is waiting for the moment when the naughty basketball stops, and after bouncing twice on the basket, the basketball finally falls again, is it not the hoop is not the air outside the basket but the basket.
The basketball got closer to the basket, and the sighs of the Staples fans grew louder.
"Huh!"
With the moment when the basketball brushed the net, the Staples Center became unusually quiet at the moment, all the sighs were still at this moment, everyone's eyes widened and they couldn't believe their eyes, even the Celtics players were like this, a lucky goal, Rajan who completed the goal. Rondo was stunned for a moment before he roared excitedly.
Coax!
The Celtics bench erupted in frantic cheers as Rondo roared, and no one could tell what these cheers were shouting, but everyone knew that most of these cheers were given to Rajan, the absolute hero of the game. Rondo, no one expected Rondo to score three points in this game and shoot a three-pointer that could change the fate of the Celtics at the crucial moment.
The Celtics players, both as the main team and on the bench, rushed to Rajan. Rondo, who was accused of only being able to break through the ball, hugged the middle.
Celtics head coach Doug Murphy. Rivers did not hide the joy in his heart, a sprint punch, biting his lip tightly, although only leading by one point, there was no doubt that the pressure came to the Clippers' side, and Rivers, who calmed down, immediately yelled at the players celebrating on the court, "Calm down, calm down, they still have time to attack, defend this ball." ”
Hearing Rivers' shout, the Celtics players all calmed down as quickly as possible.
Looking at the excited Celtics players, most of the Clippers players couldn't hide their disappointment.
Lin Fei looked at his lost teammates and walked up, "Guys, did we lose the game?" We're just one point behind, with almost seven seconds left in the game, so it's not certain who wins and who loses. ”
Mike. Dunleavy was very satisfied with Lin Fei's performance, but it was really demoralizing to be scored three consecutive points in the second half by a man who couldn't shoot.
"There are seven seconds left, as arranged, don't rush." Dunleavy shouted at the players on the field.
With the referee's whistle blowing, the game restarted, with 6.8 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Staples fans also calmed down, the team fell behind not once or twice in the final moments, but Lin Fei never let them down.
This time they once again set their sights on Lin Fei on the field. Dunleavy was replaced by J.R. Smith and Ron. Artest, Andrey. Miller, and Rashid. Wallace and Lin Fei formed the Clippers' offensive lineup in the last 6.8 seconds, this lineup is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in rebounds, but it is undoubtedly the strongest in offensive ability, and Rivers once again reminded the players to pay attention to defense.
Due to the absence of a timeout, the Clippers' serve can only start from the backcourt, even if the unguarded dribble from the backcourt to the frontcourt three-point line in about three seconds, which means that there is not much time to adjust, Lin Fei gathered everyone together, "Andre, you and JR are two people who run, I rush over in the half court to catch the ball, and then you quickly run to the frontcourt, and then run away and hand it to me, if it really doesn't work, I can pass the ball at any time." ”
Everyone nodded, they never questioned Lin Fei's ability to play key balls.
Wilson. Chandler stood on the baseline and was ready to serve, Ray. Allen, Rondo, and Pierce all ran to the front court to interfere, Miller and J.R. Smith crossed the run, Lin Fei stood outside the three-point line in the front court, and Garnett stood next to Lin Fei.
"Dribble to the front court to Lin? Do you have time? Rivers thought confidently.
With the referee's whistle, Chandler lifted the ball, Miller and Smith ran faster, just out of a little space, the Celtics immediately blocked, just at this moment Lin who stayed outside the three-point line in the front court turned around and ran to the backcourt, Garnett was stunned and immediately chose to chase and Wilson. Chandler threw the ball into the midfield as soon as possible.
Pierce and the others also immediately turned to chase the ball, and Lin Fei made a leading action against the ball and effectively solved the impact of the ball on his palm.
After receiving the ball, Lin Fei turned directly to the front court. Allen and Rondo were struggling to catch up, and Garnett was eyeing him in front of him, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, and Lin Fei quickly ran to the front.
The clock was ticking by, and the Staples fans were waiting for Lin Fei to bring them another miracle.
Syllable!
Syllable!
With a heavy slap, Lin Fei made a change of direction in the face of Garnett, Lin Fei used Garnett's reflexes to shake off Garnett's defense, and an acceleration entered the three-point line with time into the last two seconds.
Yikes!
After the soul three generations under his feet and the floor let out a piercing friction, the whole person jumped into the air and looked at the frame.
The glaring timer is coming to an end.
With confidence, with the expectation of all Clippers people, Lin Fei gently threw the ball out.
"Enter! Enter! Enter! The scene resounded with the unanimous anticipation of Clippers fans.
When the basketball was still in the air, the red light at the end of the game was lit, and the eyes of the fans were all focused on the basketball rising in the air.
After landing, Lin Fei turned around and opened his arms to face the Celtics players chasing behind him.
Swish!
The crisp sound of wiping the net did not make Lin Fei's early celebration a laughing stock.
In the midst of the frenzied shouting, the DJ shouted at the top of his voice: "Super...... super…… super…… lin…… n……”
"He's got a big heart, doesn't he?" Dunleavy said with a smile and said to his assistant, his eyes focused on Lin Fei, who was being embraced by his teammates.
