At the beginning of the third quarter, both sides had a fairly high shooting percentage and a good scoring efficiency. The score went up alternately.

However, in the second half of the game, the two sides began to agree again, as if they had to strike iron together. It was so much fun to play.

After three quarters, the Knicks were still slightly behind. The Celtics have a score of 62-60, two points ahead of the Knicks.

The Celtics' offense is also starting to play smoothly. Rondo's organization is really good, and he is always the first to see the good position of his teammates. And after the decision is made, the country will choose who to pass the ball to.

Rondo's strengths and weaknesses are just as obvious as Nash's.

Nash is the quintessential offensive invincible, with coquettish passing and accurate shooting. It's a headache for the defenders. But that defense is indeed a black hole-level existence, and even if it is an effort, there is no way to make up for it.

Rondo, on the other hand, is typically stronger defensively than offensive, and Rondo, like Nash, passes the ball coquettishly and shoots accurately. The difference is that the shots that are all accurate into the basket, and Rondo's are accurate and not into the basket.

But Rondo's defense and Nash are definitely not on the same level. Rondo's long arms can help him make quite strong interference and block dribble lanes for ball handlers. In the guy's say that the speed is also fast, Rondo's defense can be said to be a first-class presence among point guards.

However, many people overestimate Rondo's future, because in the eyes of many people, Rondo's scoring ability, or shooting ability, will improve sooner or later, but in the far, far future, he has not improved, and the peak of his physical talent has passed and has not improved. This is no longer to a certain extent, but fundamentally affects the future of Rondo. Even free throws, he is an outlier among small players, shooting less than 65 percent from the field for many years, and even less than 60 percent in a few seasons. This hit rate can no longer be described as miserable alone.

Rondo is playing well now, but that's it. Far from being a superstar in the future.

The game came up in the fourth quarter. Chen Jiyuan took the lead in helping the team tie the score.

After Chen Jiyuan held the ball in the low post on the left side, Perkins resisted it, and Pierce came up quickly to wrap it.

Chen Jiyuan passed the ball to Stephen Jackson at this time. After Stephen Jackson received the ball, he made a shooting motion, and Pierce ran to Stephen Jackson's side at high speed, but Stephen Jackson hoisted the ball to Chen Jiyuan.

Chen Jiyuan's ball, following the direction of the ball, directly turned over and jumped. The ball hits and the two teams are tied.

62:62。

Even if the Celtics played with Chen Jiyuan's defense, but Chen Jiyuan still scored 16 points after three quarters of the game today, and the Celtics couldn't completely limit Chen Jiyuan, who made Chen Jiyuan's offensive range quite wide. Although the three-point shot is not very safe, Chen Jiyuan only occasionally shoots three-point shots, but within the three-point line, it has always been Chen Jiyuan's range.

When Chen Jiyuan mentioned the high position, Perkins followed, but Garnett didn't dare to mention it at all. Otherwise, the bottom line will be leaked. Once the baseline player receives the ball, he will either deduct two points or make a layup on the board for two points, and the result will be a score anyway.

When Chen Jiyuan was in the high post, Perkins was often able to score jumpers in singles. After all, Perkins' bullet speed is still a lot worse than Chen Jiyuan's. In fact, to put it bluntly, as far as Perkins' bullet speed is concerned, I don't think I can find anyone slower than him.

In the fourth quarter, the game was still very close. The defensive intensity didn't go down either.

And halfway through the fourth quarter, the Knicks suddenly had a feeling.

It was a cold night, and everyone was watching the game with passion. Everyone's passion burst out, and then they fused together, and after physical changes, they became a gas, and then after chemical changes, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission, finally, a wind was formed. The wind blew into the hearts of all Knicks players.

Sessions and Chen Jiyuan carried out a block, Sessions rushed into the inside, and Garnett stepped forward in time to make up for the defense, Perkins still looked at Chen Jiyuan step by step, Sessions entered the basket, faced Garnett, and jumped directly.

Garnett also jumped up to block the ball. After all, Garnett still has the self-esteem of being the best defensive player in the past. If it's so simple to be scored in front of you, where will your old face go?

But as a new star, Sessions also wants to cement his position.

Sessions went to Garnett for the ball. In the air, when Garnett was about to block Sessions' ball, Sessions suddenly took it back. This trick can be regarded as a teacher from Chen Jiyuan in a sense.

Chen Jiyuan used to like to catch the ball with one hand. And likes to make one-handed movements in any situation. For example, when shaking a person, grab the ball with one hand and swing it upward. This can be regarded as a result of a love for Jordan.

Sessions' ball is the same, Sessions actually grabbed the ball with one hand, so, in Garnett's judgment, this ball is already about to be shot, and it was time to shoot the blocked ball, but it was withdrawn at the last moment to pull the rod.

Chen Jiyuan often sits on the action of grabbing the ball with one hand during training, and the long-term training makes him very casual about catching the ball with one hand. It has become like shooting, which does not require much preparation time and preparation movements, and can also be used to grab the ball with one hand. Sessions studied with Chen Jiyuan for a while on this point. Although Sessions is not as skilled at this move as Chen Jiyuan, it can also be used at certain times.

In this ball, Sessions perfectly dodged Garnett's block, and at the same time used his body to charge, got a foul, and forced the ball to the basket.

And luck seemed to be on the Knicks' side, and Sessions' ball, after two bums on the blue neck, rolled into the basket.

After Sessions landed, his center of gravity was a little unstable, but he quickly stabilized his figure, and he was able to win such a 2+1 on Garnett's head, and Sessions was also excited.

Turning around, facing the fans on the sidelines, he roared wildly and vented his excitement. And the fans on the sidelines also stood up in a large area, waving their arms. Cheer up Sessions.

Sessions' free throws also hit steadily, and this 2+1 was the beginning of the Knicks' killing frenzy, and it was also the beginning of the Celtics' collapse.

75:75。

The Celtics attacked, and Ray Allen made a three-pointer from the outside, but missed. The rebounding scramble on the inside is still very fierce, and Chen Jiyuan and Lefu stuck the guys behind them one after another to protect the rebound.

Garnett tried to steal the offensive rebound. But it failed. Lefouka's Garnett couldn't jump completely, so he could only watch Lefou, who was obviously not jumping very high, win the rebound.

Love gave the ball to Sessions, who dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, and Chen Jiyuan received a pass from Sessions and immediately hit a high jumper. Perkins, who basically ignored the defense. It hurts Perkins' self-esteem. After all, Perkins is on the defensive side of the family.

77:75。

The Celtics attacked again but still ended in vain, Garnett made a high jumper, but the ball didn't go in, Sessions grabbed the ball that bounced farther, after grabbing the rebound, Sessions quickly turned around and attacked, just ran near the halfway line, Sessions saw Iguodala who was soaking in front of him, and passed the ball directly, and Iguodala quickly came to a left-handed one-handed dunk after receiving the pass. Ended the battle that had not yet begun.

79:75。

A small climax of 6:0 is achieved in an instant.

Rivers decisively asked for a timeout, and he couldn't let the Knicks continue like this. Otherwise, the game would have ended early.

However, Rivers' timeout didn't seem to be of much use, as the timeout came back. Chen Jiyuan and Sessions blocked and dismantled, and Chen Jiyuan made a high-level jumper.

And the Celtics' offense still didn't score, the Knicks' defense is still quite good, Pierce doesn't count on this point, in this game, Stephen Jackson's defense of Pierce is really good. It's so good that it can't be in the stick anymore. No one else can defend Pierce better than Stephen Jackson.

Pierce seemed to be quite breathless for most of the day. Ray Allen was also entangled by Iguodala today, a little out of standard, and his three-point shot was very inaccurate. Three-pointers were just 1-of-7 shooting.

It's fine if both sides have extremely low shooting percentages, but the problem is that the Celtics have such a low shooting percentage, while the Knicks still have a good shooting percentage. This is a headache for Celtics head coach Doc Rivers.

Coach Rivers, who hit the Knicks' highs directly, took two timeouts.

With two minutes left in the game, the Knicks had extended their lead to 10 points. The score became 87:77.

The Knicks are basically on the verge of victory. In the whole Celtics team, within four minutes, only Pierce caused a foul on Love, got two free throws, scored two points, and everyone else was playing mahjong and watching the time pass.

Although no one thought the Knicks' level of defense today would have allowed the Celtics to go 10-0 in two minutes. But Rivers still didn't give up on the game.
