Chapter 136: The Bag
In the heat of the game, time always flies very fast, and the fans do not realize the passage of time, and it is only after the players on the court stop that they realize that the third quarter is over.
Zhang Yu shot a three-point shot from a distance from the three-point line, and Lei Allen almost sealed his hand to Zhang Yu's face, but he still couldn't stop the increasingly brave No. 14 and his hot left hand.
"35 points!"
Zhang Yu threw this goal, still talking about the points he had scored, and continued to stimulate the Celtics players.
With his three-pointer at the buzzer, the Knicks trailed the Celtics by one point at 74-75, and the scores of the two teams were tied to each other throughout the game, and it was rare to stretch to more than five points.
The Celtics Big Three, Ray Allen scored 12 points, Pierce 18 points, Garnett 19 points, and the Big Three combined to contribute 49 points, still suppressing Zhang Yu, even if it was only one point.
However, in the eyes of Chinese fans, Zhang Yu is a three-year battle against Lu Bu, although he is at a disadvantage, he is not ashamed at all. James, who has been in the league for five seasons last season, met the Celtics in the playoffs, and he is not necessarily better than Zhang Yu now, and they certainly feel more satisfied than ever.
This is Zhang Yu's first year, and he has such a rookie season, in the eyes of Asian fans and New York fans, Zhang Yu is only stronger than James back then.
On the Celtics bench, Rivers patted Tony Allen on the shoulder.
"That kid has played 26 minutes today, a full quarter, and he hasn't played that long. Tony, I want you to entangle him on the defensive end and exhaust all his body! ”
"No problem, head."
On the New York bench, D'Antoni said the same thing.
"The three old guys didn't have much rest today, and in the fourth quarter we picked up the speed and used the speed to kill them!"
"Yes, head!"
The fans in front of the TV could hear the voices of the coaches of the two teams, and after hearing the respective arrangements of D'Antoni and Rivers, the fans in front of the TV couldn't help but laugh, and the feelings of both sides were going to consume each other's bodies to death! The difference is that one intends to consume the old and the other intends to consume the young. It's really interesting, and the fans are interested in seeing if they are old or young?
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ray Allen continued to play as the sixth man to grab points with Crawford, who did not catch up with the convulsions today, and finally lost in the fourth quarter to the more stable killer Regent, and when the main players of the two teams came on in the 7th minute, the score had become 79:84, and the Knicks trailed by 5 points.
For the Knicks, 5 points is not a difficult point difference to catch up, once their speed rises, it will take less than ten seconds to attack each time, and once the wind is smooth, they can get this point back in the blink of an eye. Of course, Knicks players don't think about it, and if the wind doesn't go well, they will lose by 10 points and 8 points very quickly
In the final decisive stage, Zhang Yu's hot mind returned to calm, and his left hand began to cool, he couldn't be in that crazy state for the whole game!
Ray Allen was replaced, and Tony Allen was replaced to guard Zhang Yu, a Chinese who has scored 35 points today, and it seems difficult to limit him to less than 40 points. But the delusional 50 points, the Celtics fans don't believe he can do it, and the Celtics players on the court won't let him do it.
On the Knicks' side, Nate Robinson also replaced Crawford, and at this time the team had to speed up the offense, and D'Antoni replaced the small potato with better ball handling.
The little potato followed D'Antoni's instructions, and ran wildly with the ball as soon as he came up, regardless of whether he had a chance or not, he would go to the basket first.
Nate Robinson was very rampant, relying on the advantage of strength, dragging Rondo all the way to the Celtics basket.
At this time, Garnett was still resting off the court, and the interior line needed more time to recover, and the Celtics' two interior players were Big Baby Davis and Perkins. The defensive ability of these two men is not bad, Nate Robinson turned around under the basket and found no chance, and arrogantly took the ball out, only to be stunned by him to take the ball out.
Zhang Yu received a hand-handed pass from Nate Robinson on the outside, taking advantage of the opportunity for the opponent's defense to be disrupted by small potatoes, and after getting the ball, he also followed to break inside, and David Lee made a wall for him in the corner position to help him block Tony Allen.
Entering the inside line, Perkins just defended the direction of Zhang Yu's breakthrough, and hurriedly stepped on the outside of the reasonable collision area, intending to make Zhang Yu's offensive foul.
Zhang Yu smiled lightly, such a clumsy inside line, he is the least afraid, the European step that has not been used for a long time made a move, directly bypassed Perkins, and made a layup.
He didn't dare to go inside more when Garnett was there, and now that the Wolf King is resting off the court, he is not afraid of these two large tonnage lines close to 300 pounds. They are good at defending Howard and Yao Ming, and their bulky bodies are flexible defenders, which are like slow-motion replays in Zhang Yu's eyes.
At 6:10 of the fourth quarter, Rivers immediately replaced Garnett. In this more than a minute, Zhang Yu stopped shooting, broke through the basket continuously, changed his score to 39 points, and also had four assists, the score of the two teams was 86:88, and he was chased by the Knicks again to only two points.
Garnett's role is not only reflected in the offense, but his help on the defensive end is an important weapon for the Celtics to achieve victory. Like Duncan of the Spurs, these two are like a big lock, locking their respective restricted areas firmly and not giving the enemy a chance to sneak attack.
When Zhang Yu saw Garnett on the court, he immediately stopped breaking into the penalty area lightly and was presumptuous. He is not James, in the face of the league's real top inside, he can't make a kill, and eighty percent of the people who rushed in and were killed were himself. Each player's characteristics are different, he can't learn the bulldozer style of play like James, but he also has his own magic weapon to defeat the enemy, which James can't learn either.
Cover, breakout, emergency stop...... Jumper!
This is Zhang Yu's most effective weapon against Tony Allen today, and there was another superstar who also killed on the court back then, and that person was Maddie.
In Tony Allen's eyes, Zhang Yu is more of a threat than Maddy because his shooting ability is stronger and his crosshair is more accurate! With another pull-up jump shot from Zhang, this time his shot was more difficult, and he had to add a drift move to avoid blocking Tony Allen's interference.
The New York media pressed the camera shutter with a brush, freezing Zhang Yu's elegant shooting action in the air.
In the eyes of the reporter who took the photo, the basketball paused in the air, and then fell straight into the net! The white net was raised, like a stone falling from the water, stirring up a beautiful wave.
"41 points!"
Zhang Yu waved his arms, 40+ in three games in four games, and couldn't help shouting at the media gathering place: "Who dares to say that I am a parallel import?" ”
Coach Rivers immediately called a timeout, and at the last moment, Zhang Yu could no longer be allowed to score so unscrupulously.
"Tony, don't worry about the body, as soon as Zhang Yu crosses the halfway line, you have to keep a close eye on him, he can prepare for the next step of shooting there, so you have to make him feel uncomfortable from the midfield. As soon as he gets to the three-point line, Paul, go help Tony, and we're going to wrap him up in the final stage! ”
The Mavericks wrapped Zhang Yu, and no one said anything. But the defending champion has to wrap up against a first-year rookie? Even if he is the champion, the Celtic players feel ashamed!
But in addition, Zhang Yu, who is in excellent condition, is indeed not something that can be limited by one person. Fortunately, the Mavericks had already set a precedent in the last game, and Zhang Yu was really arrogant, otherwise Rivers would not want to compete with a rookie in a regular season game.
The two teams returned to the court, Zhang Yu broke through with cover again, and Garnett came up directly this time to wrap Zhang Yu with Tony Allen.
Zhang Yu didn't split the ball in the first place because Garnett's long arms interfered with his passing lane.
Tony Allen took the opportunity to pull out the ball, Zhang Yu made a clever move, held the ball in both hands, deliberately let the opponent slap on his arm, and then made an exaggerated posture of being violated, jumped up and screamed to attract the referee's attention
The referee blew the whistle and awarded Tony Allen a foul for a scramble. This was the Celtics' third foul in this quarter, and Zhang Yu's eyes lit up and he secretly had a plan.
"Haha, looking at the cunning eyes of the Chinese, it is obvious that he has a ghost idea again. I guess he wanted to make a foul? ”
Barkley saw the close-up shot given to Zhang Yu in the live broadcast room, and it was easy to guess Zhang Yu's plan, at this time it is indeed a good way to make a foul, effortless and efficient, but the premise is to have this ability to make a foul.
"Yes, it's a good idea to make a foul, but in the right place. Today is the home court of the Celtics, the referee will be very careful in making a penalty, once you can't make a foul, it will be a mistake! ”
Kenny Smith poured cold water on Barkley, which was his favorite.
Zhang Yu attacked again, made a sharp stop after breaking through, and quickly half-turned around and feigned to shoot.
Tony Allen was very calm this time, stepped forward to take advantage of the opportunity to defend closely, and did not fall for the jump block.
Pierce knew that it was a good opportunity, and immediately left Wallace and rushed over to wrap the clip, Zhang Yu did not dare to move with his feet in support, and was sandwiched between the two, and suddenly fell into passivity
Nate Robinson ran over to answer, Zhang Yu was surrounded by the two, and when he was about to make a mistake, he hurriedly threw the ball in the direction of the little potato......
"Smack"!
It's Rondo again! The Celtics, who has the first arm span of a point guard, once again demonstrated the benefits of his lightning-fast acceleration and ultra-long reach, coming first to cut off Zhang Yu's pass and then scoring another layup.
Zhang Yu patted his head, very remorseful! Time is running out, and every mistake can directly bury the victory!
The Celtics attacked, Rondo broke through Nate Robinson and scored a layup, this inconspicuous guy around the Big Three, occasionally hiding behind the three and putting a cold shot, sometimes very deadly
Zhang Yu held the ball and crossed the halfway line, and Tony Allen immediately came up to interfere with him, forcing him to give the ball to Nate Robinson. Zhang Yu had to hand over the ball, ran without the ball himself, relied on his teammates to cover Tony Allen, and came out of the new winding to receive the basketball.
Pierce switched defenses, and Zhang Yu used his speed to break through the relatively clumsy Pierce, but when it came to the inside, he would face Garnett under the basket
