Chapter 510: Overtime
The first time the Celtics didn't attack, it was the Knicks who attacked.
Sessions slowly passed the half with the ball, and after all his teammates were in place, Sessions gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan's hands.
Sure enough, Chen Jiyuan is still the team's most reliable offensive point.
After Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he leaned on Perkins with his back, everyone's attention was on Chen Jiyuan's body, but Chen Jiyuan's attention was not on his body. Because Chen Jiyuan glanced back at the running position of his teammates on the field.
Suddenly, the corner of Chen Jiyuan's eyes flashed, and he saw a reverse run on the bottom line and ran out of the opportunity to cut into the inside Starki, Chen Jiyuan put the ball directly from the right, and hit the ground with his back to the passing object, and gave the ball to the Starki who cut inside. After Starkey received the ball, he made a layup directly to end the offense. 94:92。
The Celtics turned around and rushed directly into the interior by Pierce, Chen Jiyuan originally wanted to block, but was fouled by Pierce.
When it comes to making fouls, Pierce is also a master at it. Chen Jiyuan could only make an innocent look like a little shou had just been bullied, and then silently raised his hand.
Pierce's free throws were relatively solid, hitting both free throws.
94:94。 Once again, the two teams were tied.
Chen Jiyuan received the ball again, and then made a high jumper, but the ball did not go in.
Celtics' Ray Allen had another three-point shot and still didn't make it. Ray Allen's performance in the first three quarters of the game was not good, and he just recovered a little in the fourth quarter, but it seemed that he had lost his touch after going into overtime. It should also be said that Starkey's defense was relatively successful.
On the Knicks' side, Love received a pass from Sessions and made a high jumper, but it was also missed.
However, Chen Jiyuan worked desperately and gave up half his life to grab the offensive rebound, but Chen Jiyuan did not directly strengthen on the inside, but gave the ball to the outside of Sessions, from the new organization of the attack, after Sessions received the ball, there was no one in front of him, and he shot a three-point shot directly, but unfortunately the ball did not go in.
This time, Chen Jiyuan had no way to grab the offensive rebound, because the rebound of this three-point shot collapsed very far, Rondo grabbed this rebound, and directly began to dribble for a fast attack, but after Rondo passed the half, he waited until his teammates passed the half court because there was no good opportunity, and at this time a steady shot was the best policy, especially when his body on his side was already a little weak, and there was no need to speed up the rhythm.
By the time the Celtic players started to play in position, Rondo also got into action. Dribbling the ball forward and coming to near the three-point line, Rondo gave the ball to Pierce, Garnett stepped forward to block and dismantle, Pierce rushed to the inside from the middle, but there was Stephen Jackson who was chasing after him here, and Chen Jiyuan who had been waiting on the inside for five hundred years.
After Pierce came to the inside, facing the opponent's encirclement and interception, a forced layup, the ball did not go in, the rebound fell, and was received by Stephen Jackson.
The Knicks' offense, Starkey singled, faced Rondo's defense, continued crotch, and then suddenly accelerated and went to the right side. But Rondo was quick to react. Follow Starkey's pace, but Starkey suddenly makes a stop-and-go jumper, and Rondo doesn't keep up. Starkey's easy shot, although Starkey's jumper is definitely not a good thing, but it is not enough to not score a single ball, at least it is a little stronger than Rondo's mid-to-long-range jumper.
The ball still hit. 96:94。
After that, the two sides began to enter a stalemate.
On the Celtic side, Garnett singled Lefu in the low post, and Garnett's footsteps were still very flexible. Garnett leaned his back against Lefou, and then turned around with a pretended one, and after turning back, Garnett did not jump shot, but took his left foot as the axis, and did not move, and stepped behind Lefu with his right foot, and then reached out to ask for a small basket, which Lefou's could not reach at all, so he could only watch Garnett pick the ball in. 96:96。
The Knicks attacked, and after passing the ball back and forth a few times, it was Starkey who finally attacked. Starkey burst inside, then distributed the ball to Stephen Jackson on the outside, Stephen Jackson received the ball, shook it for a moment, continued to rush inside, and then made a small toss. But unfortunately the ball didn't go in.
Stephen Jackson isn't actually an off-ball athlete, so Stephen Jackson hasn't been happy with the Knicks this season, but at least he's better than when he was with the Warriors. However, after the end of this season, it is very likely that Stephen Jackson will not renew his contract with the Knicks. But fortunately, the Knicks did not plan to renew Stephen Jackson's contract early, and if Stephen Jackson had the intention of trading, then the Knicks would trade Stephen Jackson without any use.
Speaking of which, trading Stephen Jackson is the best way to go. It's better to trade Stephen Jackson for Iguodala, but the problem is that Stephen Jackson doesn't want to go to Philadelphia, which is a problem.
Stephen Jackson's throw didn't hit, so he could only quickly retreat, and Chen Jiyuan quickly returned to the defense after jumping up to grab the rebound.
The reactionary offense on the Celtics' side, Ray Allen and Garnett blocked and dismantled on the outside, and then broke through, rushed into the inside, and wanted to make a layup, but was interfered with by Chen Jiyuan, the ball did not go in, and the rebound blamed Sessions for picking it up. Sessions turned around and ran, but the ball was so close to the basket that there was no chance of a quick break.
Sessions slowly dribbled the ball through the half. This time, Sessions made a three-pointer of his own. Still didn't enter.
The two sides come and go, and they are very happy. Until the last 33 seconds of the race. The scoreline for both sides has not changed. Now it's the Celtic ball. In the final moments of the game, one of the two sides had one last chance to attack.
This person's attacking opportunity determines the victory of this game.
The Celtics attacked first, and the Celtics were not in a hurry at all, and they had to score the goal steadily. Otherwise, the Knicks will have a lot less pressure on their final shot.
Pierce dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, preparing for this last offense, suddenly, Pierce moved, Pierce took the ball and got up with the ball, walked the middle line, Stephen Jackson quickly followed Pierce's footsteps, just when everyone was focusing on Pierce's body, Pierce rushed up, but gave the ball to Ray Allen in the bottom corner, after Ray Allen received the ball, he made a three-point shot, but when the ball was pounced on, Ray Allen moved his steps and took two steps inside, shook Starkey away, and then unhurriedly shot this two-point shot that no one was around. The ball went safely into the basket.
The Celtics took a two-point lead.
The Knicks decisively used the last timeout.
At this time, I don't need to wait for when I will use it. Because at the end of the regular season, the Knicks did not have the embarrassment of a timeout, so Thibodeau deliberately left a timeout this timeout.
The tactic arranged by Thibodeau is to let Chen Jiyuan come, and this kind of ball has always been made by Chen Jiyuan.
Chen Jiyuan himself is also very clear, at this time, of course, he has to make the decisive blow by himself.
At this time, there were 14 seconds left in the game. The front court ball, the time is too sufficient, so enough that Chen Jiyuan must waste a little time first.
Because he has confidence in himself, the decision Chen Jiyuan made is that unless it is a particularly good opportunity, otherwise, he is waiting for the last moment to make a move, Chen Jiyuan does not want to leave a chance for his opponent, even if it is a small opportunity, he is also a chance.
When there were only 6 seconds left in the offensive time, Chen Jiyuan began to start. Chen Jiyuan was always near the three-point line, holding the ball but not attacking, while the other players pulled the defenders to the right corner. Garnett's solitary defense Chen Jiyuan. Seeing Chen Jiyuan delaying time, Garnett didn't care, after all, the team still had a two-point lead, to be honest, even if the ball was not blocked, it would be overtime at most. So Garnett would have hoped that the Knicks would stall for time. Then make a last-minute shot.
Chen Jiyuan walked on the left side, Garnett knew that a move that Chen Jiyuan often used when he was on the left side was a step-back jumper, so he had been on guard against this move, and sure enough, Chen Jiyuan stepped back again this time. Chen Jiyuan has always held the ball with his left hand, then took a big step to the left with his left foot, slapped the ball to the left foot with his left hand, and the whole body followed him, Garnett followed in an instant, and resolutely couldn't let Chen Jiyuan shoot the ball easily.
Garnett concluded that Chen Jiyuan was going to jump shot, so the center of gravity of the ball rose slightly, but this ball Chen Jiyuan was a feint at all, knowing Garnett's defensive strength, Chen Jiyuan would naturally be more careful.
Chen Jiyuan saw Garnett's center of gravity a little bit in this ball, and he directly wanted to continue to slide the bottom line, and then get rid of Garnett's defense, but Garnett is the best defensive player in the end, and he is also the best defensive player for 6 consecutive years, so he still has the ability.
This ball, Garnett knew it was broken as soon as he saw that Chen Jiyuan didn't jump, so Garnett forcibly adjusted his center of gravity in the air, wanting to chase Chen Jiyuan, Garnett was behind him, and Perkins had already come forward to defend on the other side. Chen Jiyuan threw a shot near the three-second zone.
The ball flew near the basket. The ball hits the front of the basket. Then he jumped up again, looking at it and looking at it going to the Nets, Chen Jiyuan immediately smiled. Do you want to enter. When this ball was shot, Chen Jiyuan himself was not sure.
The mischievous ball apparently jumped a little high after jumping up. Overdone, he jumped to the other side of the basket.
The ball didn't go in,
I cao,
