Chapter 662: Trust

"The Boston Celtics are drawn, the tough result, the Spurs are really dangerous, although they are still not behind at this time, but now the Boston Celtics are really on the rise, and it is not easy to do"

When Yao Ming almost shot the two-point shot that pressed the whistle, Kenny Smith, the commentator of TNT at the SBC arena, almost stood up directly from his seat, although the Boston Celtics launched a Jedi counterattack in the second half, that is, in the third quarter, but they have been suppressed by the old Boston Celtics, and the Boston Celtics slowly dominated the field, but the Spurs have been able to always maintain the lead in the score with Duncan's stable play.\\

Although this lead is only a very small 2 points, but it is also the difference between these two points, the Boston Celtics almost fought for half a quarter without fighting, it can be seen that the Boston Celtics are always like a breath less, in this case, it is also an extremely delicate thing, if it is always the general trend but can not overtake, no one knows what kind of variables will appear for a long time, it can be said that for the Boston Celtics, they can tie the score in the third quarter, Then it was the best thing to go to the fourth quarter to play a real final showdown with the Spurs, but in the end, what people didn't expect was that it was Yao Ming who carried out the final blow for the Boston Celtics. So seeing Yao Ming score this shot that can almost wash away all the shame of his previous games, Kenny Smith is also extremely happy for him, this is the first player to really get out of Duncan's 'clutches'.

"Thankfully, the third quarter is over now. Otherwise, I guess the Spurs are about to be beaten by the Boston Celtics, and this team will be overwhelmed."

Barkley also said with a smile when Yao Ming hit a two-point shot, many times, for the NBA game, as long as it is smooth, it will be smooth, as far as the current situation on the court is concerned, the Boston Celtics are almost completely dominant, it can be said that the Spurs did not have much preparation for Yao Ming's sudden awakening in this game, whether it was Parker or Scola blocking Arenas, and most of this lack was due to insufficient preparation. After all, in the first few games, Arenas has been stared at by Duncan, and it is not easy to break through Duncan's defense.

It's just obvious that in this situation, the Boston Celtics are now in the lead, if the Spurs can't come up with a solution at this time, even if the team can barely stabilize the situation because of the end of the third quarter, but it is still very dangerous in the fourth quarter, and now the general trend of the game is completely on the side of the Boston Celtics, so to speak. As long as the Boston Celtics can continue to play according to their own combination of inside and outside play in this game, the Spurs will be the first to collapse. However, judging from this round of the series, whether it is Barkley killing Kenny Smith, he doesn't want to judge in advance, Zhuang Fei is not a head coach who likes to take the usual path, few people can predict his next step, and ** Vicky is similar, in this case, when the direction of the big tactical system has been determined, no one knows what will happen in other small adjustments.

"But the Boston Celtics are not without crisis," Kenny Smith, who had been looking at his technical stats, continued: So far, Yao Ming has committed 4 fouls by the end of the third quarter. It's just that the Boston Celtics have been chasing points, he played a full 5 minutes with four fouls on his back in the third quarter, according to the current situation, it is estimated that it will still not stop in the second half, four fouls are not a big number of fouls, but it is also a foul number that can create a crisis, as long as Duncan is playing him at this time, the Boston Celtics will be embarrassed. In fact, when Yao Ming still stayed on the court with four fouls on his back, the Spurs had actually used such a strategy, and Duncan actually hit Yao Ming harder, but fortunately Yao Ming's fifth foul never came

"Yao. Well done" O'Neal Jr. patted Yao Ming's shoulder and said excitedly, this game is too special for the Boston Celtics, at the beginning of this game, this team has encountered a great crisis, although in the past two years have been accustomed to believing in their own coach, but no one can be sure that their team can have a relatively large degree of certainty to beat this almost perfect team on the road.

At the very least, for now, in the absence of Yao Ming, no matter how you look at it, it is not an opponent for the Spurs, because in the NBA, both the Spurs and the Boston Celtics are pursuing the kind of combination of inside and outside and the balance of offense and defense, although for different coaches, even the same offensive style can play different tactics. So in such a situation, it is basically impossible for the Boston Celtics to beat the Spurs, but what these Boston Celtics players didn't expect was that their head coach actually let Yao Ming, who played abnormally in the first two games and completely lost his offensive awareness and confidence, start, and when he was in the locker room, he repeatedly asked him to give it to him when they had a single opportunity, Zhuang Fei's arrangement was naturally able to cause some Boston Celtics players to not understand.

However, in the end, these players also forcibly implemented this decision under the prestige of Zhuang Fei, even if the team has been behind for a long time, and in the end, Yao Ming's awakening has made the current Boston a little different from the past. Of course, as far as the current Spurs are concerned, they are really in a situation where there are fewer people and more people and the inside line plays outside, and it takes a lot of work to be able to overtake in the end, and in this way, the most important job is to talk about Yao Ming to do it, so at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs almost beat Yao Ming's idea again. It's just a few defenses after the start of the fourth quarter, Yao Ming, who has always been considered to have average defensive skills, can hold his defensive position, although there is still no way to prevent Duncan, but he can also be very good at not fouling in the case of interference, which also makes the score of the Boston Celtics also begin to slowly have a tendency to pull away. Therefore, in the second half, Xiao Ao was also extremely satisfied with Yao Ming's defense, at least it surprised him.

"Thanks, Jermaine, but the game isn't over yet," Zhuang Fei said with a smile after glancing at little O'Neal. For now, although he doesn't score a lot and his stats aren't pretty, he won't think of himself as a drag on the team as much as he used to.

Now the game between the Spurs and the Boston Celtics is very tangled, and judging from the current situation, the Boston Celtics still occupy the initiative to open the score, but even if they open the score, there is not much room to pull away, at least they have not been able to make the difference more than five points. It has never killed the suspense of the game. It's just that on the Boston Celtics' advantage, time is ticking and their lead continues. As long as they can hold on to the top, they are the winners.

"Duncan went to play physical contact with Yao Ming again, this time Yao Ming's position was good, he kept his position and didn't push people from behind, although Duncan wanted to make him foul but he couldn't do anything about it" For most players who are fouled, defensive misposition has always been a major reason, and for now, Yao Ming's defensive position is very good, even Kenny Smith can't help but praise in the commentary seat.

"There's five minutes left in the game, five points apart, it's too intense, and the Boston Celtics still haven't relaxed yet, huh? Offensive fouls? Yao Ming offensive foul? What's going on."

Almost as Kenny Smith finished speaking in the commentary box, a very unexpected situation happened on the court.

Yao Ming was whistled for an offensive foul when he was covering Arenas, and at this time lying at Yao Ming's feet was the Spurs' power forward Scola, obviously, judging from the picture, it seems that Yao Ming directly knocked Scola away when he was covering.

"Is Yao Ming's upper body strength so strong?" At this time, Barkley, who was on Kenny Smith's side, was also a little confused.

"I don't know, but at this time, Yao Ming is still appealing, but it is impossible to change the sentence, at this time he has already committed five fouls, does Coach Z really not plan to replace him?" Kenny Smith looked at Yao Ming, who was still arguing with the referee on the court, with some concern, and said with some concern, Yao Ming's importance to the Boston Celtics now is naturally undoubted, but at this time, he was ejected for another foul.

"Coach Z really dares to gamble like this" Barkley on the side also said helplessly, but just after Barkley finished speaking, Yao Ming, who was blown a covering foul just now, was finally caught by Duncan in the next defense.

"Yao Ming's emotions are not quite right, this is the sixth foul? Punished? Now there are four and a half minutes left in the game? Barkley looked at Yao Ming, who was walking down the court with a helpless and dissatisfied face, and Kenny Smith on the side was also in a daze at this time.

"Are the Boston Celtics dangerous? Coach Z asked for a timeout"

"Da Yao did a good job, the next game will depend on your teammates" Zhuang Fei patted the starting center of the Boston Celtics who came down from the court and said with a smile, Zhuang Fei's relaxation also made Yao Ming relax a little, and also diluted the resentment of Scola's fake fall and being fouled by Duncan not long ago.

"I don't think your teammates will let you down"

Looking at Zhuang Fei with a determined face, Yao Ming also nodded fiercely at this time, although this game was not able to hold out until the last moment, but he still believed that his teammates could win this game, trust, this is the warmest word he felt in this game, just like they trusted themselves not long ago.
