Chapter 521: Filling the Pit (3)

Sessions' 3+1 has greatly boosted the team's morale. At the same time, after Sessions hit this 3+1, the score difference on the field has narrowed to single digits.

Sessions also hit the free throw safely, so that the score on the court became 89-97.

There are 5 minutes and 52 seconds left in the game.

The Celtics were beaten 3+1, and although it was a bit damaging to morale, it did not affect Paul Pearce's motivation.

Paul Pierce came to his senses and made a step-back jumper that Stephen Jackson could only watch as Paul Pierce made the shot, and then the big two-pointer also managed to get into the basket.

Paul Pearce's individual singles ability can be said to be an infinite headache. No single forward player on any team in the league can claim to be able to limit Paul Pierce completely.

Stephen Jackson did a lot of the time very well when he defended Paul Pearce, after all, Stephen Jackson was one of the top defensive guards in the front line. But a lot of times, even if you have Stephen Jackson defending like that, he Paul Pierce can still score goals, which tends to be very frustrating for a defender. Fortunately, Stephen Jackson is a veteran of the league for many years. So it's still very good to control zhì in this area. 89:99。

The Knicks attacked again, Sessions held the ball at the top of the arc, Chen Jiyuan wanted to step forward to block Sessions, but Sessions reached out and motioned for Chen Jiyuan to walk away.

Chen Jiyuan decisively went to the weak side, attracting Perkins who was defending himself to the bottom line.

Sessions was in the same position again, one accelerated, and went to the right, and Rondo quickly followed Sessions' movements, but Sessions suddenly stopped his tendency to move forward, and then kicked the ground with his right foot and took the ball back. Rondo also followed this move by Sessions. After Sessions took the ball back, he made a jumper. The overall sense of rhythm is good. Rondo's defense of the ball is definitely very timely, although the blocked hand did not touch the ball, but it has almost blocked all the vision of Sessions' shot, which is also due to Rondo's own arm span and big palm, so he can do such a defense. However, it was under Rondo's defense that Sessions made a force on his right wrist with the ball. The ball goes into the basket as if it were going on a track. Rondo is also very helpless. This ball is really defended in place. 91:99。

The Celtics attacked, Rondo held the ball outside, and then gave the ball to Garnett, Garnett singled Lefu in the low post, turned over and jumped, but Lefu couldn't cover Garnett, but he was able to rely on his strong body to interfere with Garnett's rhythm and balance, but, although Lefu did a good job, Garnett's goal still scored. Today, the Celtic triumvirate felt clearly good. Whether it's Ray Allen or Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett. Today, they all maintained a very high scoring efficiency. 91:101。

The Knicks are attacking here, this time, Chen Jiyuan blocked Sessions outside the three-point line, and Sessions is now completely in the first state in the world. After Chen Jiyuan blocked Sessions, the Celtics chose to change the defense this time, but Sessions did not pass the ball back. Instead, he chose to single Perkins, Sessions shook and pretended to collect the ball and shoot, Perkins' center of gravity rose slightly, Sessions looked like he was going to collect the ball with his left hand suddenly shrank into his arms, and then his right hand slapped the ball to the left, a change of direction, ran from Perkins's left, came to the basket, before Garnett's defense arrived, Sessions threw a shot, the ball knocked the basket, and then hit the rebound, and finally obediently entered the basket. 93:101。

The Celtics attacked again, this time Rondo suddenly wanted to share the ball with Ray Allen, but the passing route was seen through by Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan occupied the passing route first, and then successfully cut off Rondo's pass. After breaking the ball, Chen Jiyuan gave the ball to Stephen Jackson, who had already run to the midfield, and Stephen Jackson was followed by Paul Pierce, but Paul Pierce was half a step away from Stephen Jackson, obviously starting slowly.

Stephen Jackson received the ball and ran wildly, but after halftime, Paul Pierce was already in the same position as Stephen Jackson. Stephen Jackson didn't rush to attack, but withdrew himself with the ball in the direction of the touchline. After Chen Jiyuan made a steal, he quickly passed half court to prepare for the offense, Stephen Jackson because he didn't have a good chance, so he gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan's hand again, and after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he stood outside the three-point line. Perkins didn't come forward to defend.

At this time, a string suddenly twitched in Chen Jiyuan's mind. Now the one who is behind the Shenma, the one who loses the game will be the end of the Shenma, and the one who doesn't have the ability to the Shenma, these kinds of thoughts did not appear in Chen Jiyuan's mind, and only one appeared. This ball, I'm going to shoot. Shoot right here,

Chen Jiyuan shot directly outside the three-point line, because there is a large distance between Perkins and Chen Jiyuan, so Chen Jiyuan doesn't need to do anything to avoid being blocked.

Chen Jiyuan's three-point shot was quite high at the top of the arc. This is still when I was in the Mavericks, and Dirk Nowitzki learned it, according to Dirk Nowitzki, big players are taller, and if they don't deliberately adjust the arc, then the ball will be shot because the arc is too flat and it will not be easy to score. Because if the arc of the big player is not high enough, isn't it a flat push. When the arc is raised, not only is the ball easy to score, but it is also easy to dodge the block. Chen Jiyuan listened to Dirk Nowitzki's advice and began to correct his shooting arc. Although not much has been corrected.

Chen Jiyuan's shot is definitely quite decent. It feels like a three-point shooter is shooting a three-pointer.

If that goal is scored, the gap between the Knicks and the Celtics will be reduced to five points. You'll be in range.

The ball flew slowly in the air, straight to the basket, and finally, came to the vicinity of the basket, with a "swish" sound. Crisp swiping sound. Hollow. However, there is a slight problem, that is, this ball is hollow outside the basket, and this ball has not even touched the basket, perhaps the arc is too high. The ball is very line-on, but not far enough. The ball didn't touch the basket at all, and brushed the net directly outside the basket. This "smack" sound came from like this. For this embarrassing goal, the fans outside the stadium have already burst into laughter. And Thibodeau, who was on the sidelines, was obviously a little dissatisfied with Chen Jiyuan's offensive choice of the ball, but now that the Knicks are chasing points, it is really not suitable to pause substitutions. Interrupt the morale of your own team. Therefore, Thibodeau can only make his heart dissatisfied.

This ball went straight out of bounds. Because both Garnett and Love are relatively outside at this time, this ball is directly "brushed the net" out of bounds.

Celtic's baseline serve. Rondo slowly dribbled the ball through the half. Now what the Celtics need to do is not to score like crazy, but to stabilize their position, because Sessions himself scored 8 points in a row, which has brought the Knicks' morale to a peak. Although the score difference is still at 8 points, it is no longer a safe point difference. After all, there are still 4 minutes and 26 seconds left until the end of the game. Getting back eight points in that time is not an impossible task.

Rondo gave the ball to Paul Pierce after half time this time, and Paul Pierce singled with the ball on the outside, and in this game, every time it came to a critical moment, the person the Celtics relied on the most was really Paul Pierce.

This ball Paul Pierce singled Stephen Jackson, but there was no chance, because this ball Stephen Jackson defended very well, Paul Pierce, who had no chance, took two steps and gave the ball to Ray Allen's injury, Ray Allen took two more steps, and there was no good opportunity, under Chen Jiyuan's assistance, he had to pass the ball to Garnett, Garnett received the ball in the high position, and directly jumped to shoot, and Lefu successfully interfered with Garnett's shot. The ball didn't go in.

Chen Jiyuan and Perkins competed for this rebound, but Chen Jiyuan was not able to control the rebound because he was not in a good position. However, Chen Jiyuan pulled the ball out of the inside line in the air, and the person who picked up the ball on the outside was Starkey, who accelerated directly after picking up the ball and rushed forward.

After half-time, Starkey found that there was no chance, only to wait for his teammates to settle and Sessions came to the top of the arc, Starkey gave the ball to Sessions, and Starkey wanted to let Sessions organize the attack and move the ball away from his edge first.

But after Sessions received the ball, he didn't stop at all. didn't shoot either, and jumped directly to shoot a three-point shot. Sessions is so confident right now. I'll do whatever it takes.

The offensive options for this ball are not very good either. Thibodeau was already on the verge of going berserk. Because Chen Jiyuan had wasted an offensive opportunity before. If Sessions is in the throe, then how can the game be won?

However, Sessions' ball went into the basket. 96:101。

The Knicks narrowed the gap to five points.

The Celtics can't wait, they have to take a timeout.

Sessions staggered to the bench.
