Chapter 525: The Dust Has Settled

The defeat of the game is a fact that everyone is unwilling to accept. But I had to accept it. Especially after losing such a crucial game, now the Knicks are suddenly cornered. The next sixth game is either to win and continue the series, or to go straight to your home stadium and end this year's playoffs.

However, there are not many people who are optimistic about the Knicks in this key battle of Tianwang Mountain, basically everyone is describing the various advantages of the Celtics, although the Knicks also want to hit those "bricks" in the face, but unfortunately it didn't work out, and the Knicks want to win on the Celtics' home court, it's really difficult. It's not just the Knicks who have a hard time winning a game on the Celtics' home court. It's the same with other teams. Since the formation of the Celtics' Big Three, in last year's playoffs and this year's playoffs, the Celtics only lost one game to the Pistons on their home court last year.

Such a record is not glamorous.

The Knicks will then return to their home court.

Speaking of losing this game, Sessions can be said to be quite depressed. Because in the final section, Sessions' table is no longer just qualified, but completely overperformed. Out of 100, Sessions' performance is definitely 150. He scored 15 points in the first quarter. He finished the game with 30 points, along with seven rebounds and 11 assists. Very bright blind other people's eyes quasi-triple even number jΓΉ. But he still couldn't save the Knicks.

There is no way but to say that the other players are not very good. Chen Jiyuan had 21 points and 15 rebounds. The number of the two doubles also looked good, but in the final crucial fourth quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan's table was still taken out to talk about things. Although Chen Jiyuan's performance in the fourth quarter of the game has always been very good and should not be criticized like this, it is precisely because Chen Jiyuan in the past can always burst out in the fourth quarter of the game with amazing combat effectiveness, so at such a critical moment, Chen Jiyuan has "withered", which makes many people feel "unhappy".

The Celtics' triumvirate came together to make it difficult for the Knicks to parry.

After losing Game 5, the Knicks returned to New York, and the whole team played together.

As for Scarlett Johansson living in Chen Jiyuan, and then Britney and the unhappy thing, Chen Jiyuan simply didn't have time to take care of it. At this time, Chen Jiyuan had already put all his focus on the game. Especially this crucial sixth game.

Playing at home, Chen Jiyuan did not disappoint the fans in New York this time. On the edge of the cliff, Sessions returned to normal, with only 9 points and 8 assists in the game, Chen Jiyuan scored 48 points alone, while also having 14 rebounds. Chen Jiyuan's game, full of firepower, even the Celtics against Chen Jiyuan is difficult to stop Chen Jiyuan's scoring momentum, Chen Jiyuan played the whole game, 14 rebounds, including 7 frontcourt rebounds, just like crazy. Today's Chen Jiyuan is really playing with his life. Chen Jiyuan shot 17-of-25 from the field and made 14 of 16 free throws. Didn't shoot a three-pointer today. Got 48 points.

The score at full time was 88:84. The Knicks managed to keep themselves alive. The next game will decide whether the Celtics go home to play in the mud or the Knicks go home to coax the kids.

The Knicks scored 88 points as a team, and Chen Jiyuan himself scored more than half of the points. The team's "No. 2" Starkey scored 12 points and Stephen Jackson scored five. Lefu scored 7 points. Chen Jiyuan almost relied on his own strength to beat the Celtics to the ground, mainly because Chen Jiyuan grabbed the frontcourt rebounds, and grabbed a total of 7 frontcourt rebounds, which were converted into a total of 14 points.

Not a single frontcourt rebound was wasted, either converted into a direct score or won a free throw.

The top scorer on the Celtics' side was Garnett, who scored 22 points today, along with nine rebounds. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen scored 14 and 10 points respectively.

In this game, both sides defended very tightly. Both teams had very low shooting percentages. It can also be said that after these games of mutual familiarity, with the addition of Doug Rivers and Thibodeau, they are quite familiar with each other. So, it looks like both sides are putting more effort into defending, and the defensive approach is more correct. Therefore, the score of this game is still relatively low,

However, despite winning this sixth game, the Knicks are only a step or two away from the cliff. Because the next game will be held at the TD North Shore Reduction Arena in Boston. In the Boston game, the Celtics' winning rate is so high, the pressure on the Knicks is not small.

Chen Jiyuan, who was concentrating on training and wanted to do something in the seventh game, flew to Boston with the whole team.

In Game 7, the Knicks and Celtics have been playing hard. Today, the Knicks' full play is still quite good, especially in the first two games. Today, under Thibodeau's arrangement, Chen Jiyuan, who was supposed to play in the low post, gave up the low post to Lefu after the second quarter of the game. Today Lefour played Garnett well. Let Lefu get more opportunities.

It can be said that Chen Jiyuan's storage is the storage of Lefu's offensive firepower. Because Chen Jiyuan's low position is quite efficient. And Lefou's current range is far from being able to shoot three-pointers like in his previous life. The current Lefu mid-range is okay, but the three-point shot has not yet been developed.

And in this game, Lefu got a chance in the first quarter of the game, because Chen Jiyuan was too tightly sandwiched in the low position. Therefore, Thibodeau's courage is not small, and he decided to let Chen Jiyuan rise to a high position, and then Lefu went to attract the attention of the opponent in the low position, and then Chen Jiyuan was silhouetted or shot in the high position. Chen Jiyuan gave Lefu a few balls in the high post, and then in this game, when Lefu singled Garnett in the low post, it turned out to be good, which not only caused Garnett's three fouls, but also made Garnett go down early to rest. At the same time, the big baby who came on the field later was also beaten to the ground.

At halftime, Love scored 14 points. Chen Jiyuan scored 10 points. Sessions scored five points. Starkey scored 11 points. Stephen Jackson didn't score. There were five starters, and three scored in double figures. At half-time. The score was 49:48.

The Knicks had a one-point lead for the time being. However, this advantage is not an advantage at all.

In the second half, the two sides defended harder. They all played with their lives to defend, so the action was a bit big, and there was another clash between Lefu and Garnett. Garnett is very smart to raise his hands high, make a gesture and expression that has nothing to do with me, and then he is still angry here. As a result, Lefu lost his cool for a while. stepped forward and gave Garnett a hand. Ate the referee's whistle. Lefu is still young after all. In the end, he is still a rookie, and in terms of experience, compared to Garnett, a veteran who has played in the league for 13 years, he is not at the same level at all.

However, fortunately, Lefu was pulled away by his teammates in time, and Stephen Jackson quickly came to Lefou's side and pulled Lefu away. Chen Jiyuan also came up to stop the situation from continuing to deteriorate.

Love also needs to calm down a little, and Thibodeau replaced Love for a break, while also keeping his head calm.

And in the crucial fourth quarter of the game, Love was once again sent on the court.

At this time, the score of the two sides is still very close. The time of the game is disappearing little by little, but the scores of the two sides have never been able to close the distance. The biggest point difference is a five-point lead, and then it is also chased back by the opponent in minutes. The two teams alternated back and forth to take the lead. In the end, the game once again appeared in a realm that made people feel that they didn't dare to breathe. That is, at the last minute, the scores of the two sides were evaluated.

The score was 89:89. Celtic's possession of the ball.

Paul Pearce singled out and shot a three-pointer, but unfortunately the ball didn't go in. This ball, Paul Pierce's chance is good, because Stephen Jackson was attracted by Garnett's offense, and took two steps back to the inside, wanting to dig out Garnett's ball, so when Paul Pierce shot, the pressure was not great, but even if it was an empty shot, no one dared to guarantee that his shot would definitely be able to score.

It was the Knicks' turn to attack, and there were 45 seconds left in the game. The Knicks' offense was Chen Jiyuan's high-post jumper, but under Garnett's defense, the ball was also deflected. The ball didn't go in, and the rebound Lefu didn't grab. I could only watch the Celtics collect this backcourt rebound, and then quickly return to their own half of the court to prepare for defense.

The Celtics attacked again, and after a few unhurried downs, Ray Allen suddenly ran out, then took the ball from Garnett's hand and jumped directly, while Starkey was blocked by Garnett, and then Love didn't react for a moment, and was shot by Ray Allen. The ball goes into the basket. 89:91。

The Celtics also left the Knicks with the final 16 seconds.

The Knicks opted for a two-pointer. Chen Jiyuan held the ball, but received the Celtics' bag, when Chen Jiyuan gave the ball to the vacant Starkey, Starkey chose to take two steps forward with the ball, and then prepared to shoot, but at this time, there were already defenders in front of Starkey,

As a result, Starkey's shot didn't go in.

There are 10 seconds left in the game.

The Knicks had to resort to foul tactics. Garnett, who grabbed the rebound, withstood the pressure at this critical moment and hit both free throws. 89:93。

The Knicks missed another three-pointer, and Sessions missed a three-pointer. The Knicks fouled again, but time was running out. This time, Garnett hit one of two free throws. The second penalty was hit.

The Knicks hit a three-pointer again, and this time Sessions hit a three-pointer. A three-pointer with a fairly high difficulty was hit. But alas, it was a little late.

There are only 4.1 seconds left in the game. Celtic serve again. And then this time, Ray Allen made two free throws, and naturally hit all of them. 92:94。

The Knicks are still four points behind.

I don't know when it started, Sessions turned out to be the most trustworthy guy in the Knicks' three-point shooting. Or it has become the team's key moment, and the three-point shot can be trusted by Thibodeau the most.

The final three-pointer was shot by Sessions, but Sessions was unable to replicate the miracle again. I could only watch the ball slam into the basket and then bounce out.

Although Chen Jiyuan grabbed the rebound and threw the ball to the basket as soon as possible, this ball with very good luck also entered the basket. But. It's already useless. The goal went in. The time has also come. The game is over. The Knicks lost the game by two points.

94:96。 The score was fixed in this moment. And the big score is 3:4. The Knicks were eliminated from the tournament, and the ending was also fixed at this moment.
