The crucial fourth quarter of the game began, and the players from both sides were back on the court, and it was time to bring the game to a close.

As soon as it came up, the Celtics gave the Knicks a dismount, after Chen Jiyuan missed the first shot, Garnett grabbed the rebound inside, and then passed the ball to Rondo on the outside, Rondo played the ball over half the court, directly crossed a strong cross, and gave the ball to Ray Allen's hands, Ray Allen did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and shot directly with a three-point shot, and the ball hit steadily. 61:65。

Ray Allen feels really good today, and it's amazing. Thibodeau, as Ray Allen's former coach, naturally knew the threat of Ray Allen's three-point shot, when Ray Allen made a shot, Starkey in front of him was there to defend, but it still had no effect, Ray Allen shot extremely fast, Starkey had no way to block at all, and he pulled out the jump shot. It's not so easy to predict.

Starkey was also worried that if he jumped too early, he would be fouled by Ray Allen for a three-point shot, and letting Ray Allen make free throws would be no different from giving away points. After all, Ray Allen is one of the few players in the league who can keep his free throw shooting percentage above 90 percent.

Ray Allen has a lot of experience. If Starkey's defense is leaky, it will soon be exploited by Ray Allen.

Although Ray Allen's projection was a headache for the Knicks, it was not enough to kill the Knicks. So Thibodeau isn't so worried for the time being.

Soon, the Knicks made a change, Chen Jiyuan received the ball on the outside, Perkins interfered in front of Chen Jiyuan, mainly to interfere with the shot, although Perkins blocked Chen Jiyuan's hope is relatively small, but the interference can still be done, and if Chen Jiyuan breaks into the inside, Garnett will help defend at any time on the inside, although Garnett's current body has decreased slightly, but it is still quite good, so Chen Jiyuan is still a little jealous.

This ball, Chen Jiyuan faced Perkins' defense, walked on the left side, and looked like he was going to slip to the bottom line, but after taking two steps, Chen Jiyuan took a step back, and Perkins didn't keep up, and was shot by Chen Jiyuan with a jumper, and Chen Jiyuan hit the ball steadily. Today, Chen Jiyuan's hand feels good. 63:65。

The Celtics' attack again, this time with Pierce holding the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and Garnett ambushed in the bottom corner of the right side, ready to receive a pass from Pierce and then come up with a dunk or something.

Ray Allen and Rondo are both waiting for the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side, which is a masterpiece that can be completely vacated for Rondo, as Rondo's former coach, Thibodeau is too clear that if you give Rondo the ball and let Rondo shoot a three-point shot, it is simply a joke. It's impossible to score. Rondo near the free-throw line is not a threat, let alone Rondo outside the three-point line.

Pierce faced Stephen Jackson's defense, a seemingly simple left side break, but in fact, before the start, Pierce's shoulder and hand movements made people look like they were walking in the middle, but their feet accelerated to the left, Pierce is a single-player all-round small forward. There's no single move he doesn't know, and there's no way he doesn't attack, and that's what makes Pierce so awesome.

Pierce's ball was already in the favourable offensive low post from the start, this ball. Stephen Jackson was actually not much of a threat to Pierce in the morning. After entering the inside line, Pierce made a left-handed layup, dodged Chen Jiyuan's block, and successfully scored the ball. 63:67。 Chen Jiyuan's defense of this ball is already relatively timely, but there is still no way to stop Pierce's goal, Zhineng can say that if a superstar wants to score, it is really not so easy to stop, and Chen Jiyuan is the same.

Doug Rivers' defensive setup is enough to target Chen Jiyuan, but it is still difficult to stop Chen Jiyuan from slashing and scoring, which is simply a nightmare for every team.

It can be said that any earthling knows that Chen Jiyuan is the main scoring point of the Knicks, as long as Chen Jiyuan can be restricted, then his team has more than half of the hope of winning. But the problem is that this restriction is not so simple that Chen Jiyuan can do.

Chen Jiyuan, as a super all-round center who can be inside and outside in the new era, is really difficult to restrict, has a large attack range, a strong desire to attack, a steady hook on the inside, and a domineering dunk. The outside mid-distance is accurate, and the turn-over jumper is also a killer weapon, so to speak, many times you know what Chen Jiyuan is going to do, but there is no way to stop it.

For example, this ball, Chen Jiyuan is playing Perkins with his back on the bottom line, relying on Perkins is a difficult job, and the current Perkins defensive end is still okay, although there are irreparable defects in footsteps, but defensive awareness or something is still okay.

Chen Jiyuan arched twice, there was no practical effect, and then, once again, he hit it violently, even if it was Perkins, the ball, the center of gravity shook slightly, and then Chen Jiyuan directly made a reflexive backward jumper, Perkins had already judged it at the last moment, Chen Jiyuan must have wanted to reflexively jump shot, but, although he tried his best to adjust his center of gravity, but it was still too late, Chen Jiyuan directly turned over and made a jumper, Although Perkins' hand played a slight interference effect, there was no way to do substantial damage to Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan's ball, shot steadily, and then hit it steadily. 65:67。

The Celtics' offense, Rondo dribbled the ball, the Knicks completely let Rondo's shot, Thibodeau's tactic was to shrink the defense, let Starkey follow Ray Allen, Pierce was also blocked by Stephen Jackson, Sessions shrank into the interior as much as possible, not only to help control the backcourt rebound, but also to help defend Garnett.

Everyone knows that Ray Allen is a well-known three-point shooter. But Cavaliers Pierce is also a small forward who is proficient in three-point shooting, and Pierce is able to shoot close to 40 percent of his shots per game while averaging about four shots per game every season.

So if Pierce shoots a three-pointer, he can't let it go.

Rondo is near the free throw line, because the neighborhood is in space, so Rondo tried to shoot a mid-distance, Rondo took aim seriously, jumped without hurry, and the movements of the whole body seemed to be relatively coordinated, slowly shooting, wrist force, and the ball left the hand. Then, with a "dang" sound, the iron was successfully struck.

This goal did not score, after which the Knicks' defense of Rondo will be more compressed, because if the first goal is not scored, then Rondo may not dare to continue to shoot, at this time Rondo is less of a threat on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Rondo still made Starkey suffer a lot, Doug Rivers let Ray Allen defend Sessions, and let Rondo defend Stucky, Tony Allen is now in the Knicks, then the Celtics' most reliable outside defender is Rondo. Rondo's excellent reach and defensive awareness are both deeply disturbing for the object being defended.

Rondo's mid-distance missed, and the four people on the inside all jumped up to compete for this rebound, Chen Jiyuan, Garnett, Perkins, Lefou, but this rebounder actually Lefu didn't fight much, Lefu stuck Garnett more and didn't let Garnett have a chance to grab this rebound, Garnett wanted to go around the front to grab the position, but it didn't work, and the rebound was successfully won by Chen Jiyuan.

Chen Jiyuan passed the ball to Sessions, Sessions quickly dribbled the ball through the half, but in the place just after the half, Sessions wanted to pass Rondo, but was cut off by Rondo, after Rondo broke the ball, he ran quickly, after half the court, Chen Jiyuan was behind Perkins, Perkins just didn't have time to return to defense, this ball, the Celtics are two to one, Rondo took the ball to the left, Perkins was on the right, the two wanted to make Chen Jiyuan unable to let go of the ball, Rondo took three steps with the ball, and jumped after the third step, Because there is no need to worry about Rondo's mid-distance shot, Chen Jiyuan contracted the ball under the basket, and then Rondo's jump, Chen Jiyuan did not have the right to jump to interfere, but jumped slightly, however, this ball, Rondo finally chose to pass the ball and gave it to Perkins, however, apparently there was a problem with the tacit understanding between Perkins and Rondo, Perkins The ball was a little far away from the basket, and the ball was not well prepared to catch the ball, but after receiving the ball, he did not jump out of the first time, but adjusted it first, It was such a short delay that gave Chen Jiyuan a chance, and after Chen Jiyuan landed, he quickly turned around and came at Perkins, who was already jumping up and ready to dunk at this time. However, Chen Jiyuan's speed and bullet speed are better, when Perkins completed this dunk, Chen Jiyuan had already rushed to Perkins, Perkins didn't expect Chen Jiyuan to be so fast, although Chen Jiyuan's ball was a backward jump, but it successfully stopped Perkins's dunk.

Chen Jiyuan suddenly appeared on Perkins's forward route, Chen Jiyuan's right hand pressed on the ball, this ball, Perkins is also a right-handed one-handed dunk, the two of them had a power contest in the air, however, Chen Jiyuan's ball and Perkins's force are not in a straight line, Chen Jiyuan's ball uses a little skill, Chen Jiyuan is palm is a little inclined to rebound weakness, Perkins is undoubtedly aimed at the basket.

So this ball was destroyed by Chen Jiyuan. Chen Jiyuan's hand covered the basketball a little lower, so the ball jumped up, and then fell behind Chen Jiyuan, Perkins was unstable in the center, and as a result, he sat on the ground, Chen Jiyuan stabilized his center of gravity a little, and immediately turned back.

The ball that Chen Jiyuan covered was picked up by Rondo. Rondo originally planned to go directly to the basket, but Sessions arrived non-stop, which shattered Rondo's idea of going directly to the basket, but Rondo had already accelerated and couldn't go to the basket directly, worried about being blocked by Sessions, Rondo instinctively planned to go over the frame and come to a backhand layup through the frame, but he didn't think about it, Chen Jiyuan was waiting here, or rather, he was picked up by Chen Jiyuan and just blocked the ball, this time, the ball was firmly controlled by Sessions. Sessions ran forward quickly, ready for a quick break.

Rondo and Perkins, who had already stood up, also quickly returned to the defense. This is the strength of the championship team, Rondo and Perkins did not have the slightest hesitation and hesitation, and immediately defended at the first time.

This defensive attitude has to be said to be something that many teams can't do.
