Chapter 508: The Last Minute
Garnett was beaten by Chen Jiyuan into such an exciting 2+1, there is no way, this ball Garnett's defense is already in place, if it is someone else, maybe this ball will be covered by Garnett. But Garnett is already at the age when he is not at his peak, and the current Garnett's body is obviously in a declining stage, while Chen Jiyuan's body is not at all to say, it is naturally in the best stage, and there is even the possibility of growth.
Therefore, this ball can only be said to be the physical bullying of the new generation of talents against the older generation of talents, and there is really no way to do it. In this kind of hard-fought confrontation, either don't defend or become a backhand, it's just two simple options.
Although being back jing is only stupid. It's a matter of ethics to do what he likes, but not to defend. A lot of the time, people with great offensive talent can get good numbers, but it is the people who are active in defense who can win the hearts of the manager, and no manager wants his player to be a lazy and unwilling to defend.
Chen Jiyuan's free throw was also a solid hit. 78:79γ
The Celtics attacked again, and Garnett singled Love inside and hit a turnaround jumper. 78:81γ
Chen Jiyuan came back to his senses and made a high-post jump shot, Garnett's defense was not timely, and Chen Jiyuan scored two points. 80:81γ
As everyone imagined, Chen Jiyuan really ushered in a small climax in his fourth quarter. From the beginning of the fourth quarter to the present, Chen Jiyuan has scored five points in a row. The momentum is about to pick up.
However, the Celts apparently also eat meat. Chen Jiyuan's tactics were quickly implemented.
The Celtics attacked this time, Rondo broke into the inside line and wanted to make a layup, after avoiding Chen Jiyuan's block, but hit the blue neck, and the ball did not go in, but Lefu did not protect the rebound, Garnett tapped the basketball with his right hand, and wanted to put the ball into the basket, but the strength was a little small, or maybe there was no way to adjust it under the interference of Lefou, so the ball did not score, this time Lefu did not give Garnett a chance and successfully accepted the rebound.
After Lefu received the rebound, he passed the ball directly to Stephen Jackson near the halfway, Stephen Jackson made a fast break for the first time, and after halftime, Stephen Jackson and Starkey were facing Ray Allen's defense, a two-on-one opportunity, of course, the two of them would not let go. Stephen Jackson dribbled the ball and passed to Starkey on the right side, Ray Allen turned to pay attention to Starkey, Starkey dribbled the ball to the basket, Ray Allen decisively absolutely saved Starkey, but Starkey passed the ball to Stephen Jackson at the last moment, Stephen Jackson jumped up, made a small layup, and easily scored the ball. 82:81γ
The Celtics attacked again, this time it was Pierce who held the ball on the outside and singled, after Pierce rushed to the inside, a breakthrough shot, and gave the ball to Ray Allen on the outside, after Ray Allen received the ball, he made a jump shot, Starkey instantly pounced, but Ray Allen did not shoot, but took a step to the right, and then shot this three-pointer, without pressure, Ray Allen's three-point shot hit, speaking of which, in the fourth quarter of the game, Ray Allen's hand was obviously warming. 82:84γ
The Knicks are attacking here, this time after Chen Jiyuan was preparing to receive the ball in the high post, he saw that the opponent's defense was too tight, so he decisively gave up this offensive method, turned to himself in order to attract defensive attention, and then let the high post Sessions and Starkey play, Sessions took the ball to break through Ray Allen alone, although Ray Allen's defense is definitely not top, but it is not a loophole. However, Sessions was a disguise, passing Ray Allen, and then when facing Garnett's supplemental defense, a small pass to the ground stole the ball to Lefou, Lefu jumped up and wanted to shoot the ball, but Garnett defended quickly and touched the ball directly, so that the ball changed the direction of flying.
After touching the rebound, Lefu was quick and quickly snatched the ball back. grabbed an offensive rebound, Lefu prepared to attack twice, this ball, Lefu shook it, but Garnett didn't shake it at all, Lefu could only force the ball in the direction of the basket with Garnett's arms. The ball was lucky, because Garnett was also worried that he would be fouled if he jumped, so the ball was close to each other, but Garnett only straightened his arms, and the ball fell into the basket after jumping a few times around the basket. 84:84γ
On the Celtics side, Rondo blocked Garnett in the high post, and Rondo passed the ball to Garnett in the high post after the pick-and-roll. However, at this time, Garnett still has Chen Jiyuan in front of him on the defense, this is because of Thibodeau's arrangement, generally, when the defender blocks and dismantles, although the offensive player who has no way to defend is completely unable to attack, there will always be a few good ways. For example, the bag gripper ball carrier, the size of the defense, or the inside delay. But against Rondo's classmates, none of this is needed, and Sessions, who is defending Rondo, only needs to step back and dodge the blockers. There is no concern at all about the consequences of not defending Rondo as a defender. This is also something that Thibodeau explained alone, Rondo must not be allowed to rush into the inside, and now Rondo's athleticism is very good, so in terms of inside layups, Rondo's grasp is still good. Otherwise, how can a close-range, mid-range, long-distance and long-distance shooting with more than 30 percent of the shots get an average of 11.9 points per game.
Therefore, what Sessions needs to do is to step back and wait for Rondo to break through to the inside, while what Chen Jiyuan needs to do is to be by Garnett's side and continue to defend Garnett. This trick is really very effective.
Garnett's ball also shook a little, and then moved sideways on the left side, striding and jumping, the ball shot was very high, and Chen Jiyuan had no way to block it, so he could only interfere with it as much as he could, as for whether the ball could still be scored, it depended on Garnett's anti-interference ability.
In the end, the ball popped out of the frame.
The Knicks attacked, Chen Jiyuan singled in the low post, but there was no chance, after guarding the Celtics' bag, Chen Jiyuan passed the ball to Stephen Jackson on the outside, Stephen Jackson received the ball, and shot a three-point shot directly, but the ball did not score. To be honest, Stephen Jackson's three-point shot is really not particularly accurate, it's just a level that can't be missed.
The offensive scoring momentum of both sides has gradually slowed down, or both sides have been limited by the opponent's defense.
This continued consistently until the last minute of the game. In the space of five minutes, both sides scored only two points each. On the Knicks' side, Starkey rushed inside and caused Garnett's foul and hit two free throws. On the Celtics side, Pierce hit a mid-range shot, and then the score was 86-86 and the score was deadlocked.
All the way to the last minute of the game. It was only at this time that the two sides finally broke the scoring drought again.
It was the Knicks who broke first, and Chen Jiyuan finally found a gap between the two mountains and shot a mid-range.
At this critical moment, hitting such a ball is crucial. There are 49 seconds left in the game time. The pressure is on the Celtics, to be precise, the Celtics and Knicks each have one chance left to attack.
The Celtics are going to take a timeout at this time. Prepare for this attack.
When the timeout is over and you get back on the court, you will find that the Celtics' tactic is very simple, that is, give the ball to Pierce and let Pierce play alone.
Pierce holds the ball outside the three-point line on the left side, swapping the ball back and forth between his left and right hands. Stephen Jackson was in front of Pierce, watching Pierce's movements intently, suddenly, Pierce's right shoulder shook, as if he was going to break through on the right side, Stephen Jackson just reacted, Pierce jumped directly to shoot a three-point shot.
By the time Stephen Jackson stepped forward to defend, it was too late. Pierce's three-pointer went straight into the basket. Three-point shot. There are 32 seconds left in the game. 88:89γ
The Knicks, too, had to ask for a timeout. This attack was too critical.
On the bench, the Knicks' tactics are not complicated, they are very simple, give Chen Jiyuan a single.
Let Chen Jiyuan play alone in the low post, but let Sessions delay the time first in the previous paragraph, and wait until there are 11 seconds left before giving the ball to Chen Jiyuan's hands.
Returning to the court again, after Sessions received the ball, he delayed the time, and when there were still 12 seconds left in the offensive time, he passed the ball to Chen Jiyuan, who came up to answer. Chen Jiyuan received the ball near the three-point line, and this ball was defending Chen Jiyuan's Garnett, and Perkins was defending Love.
Chen Jiyuan was near the three-point line on the left side, walking on the left side, but Garnett kept up with Chen Jiyuan's footsteps, and Chen Jiyuan still didn't have any good opportunities.
However, Chen Jiyuan suddenly retreated, although Garnett could keep up, but Chen Jiyuan didn't care so much at all, all Chen Jiyuan needed was a space that could be sold without being covered. This ball, Chen Jiyuan shot confidently.
Although Garnett had no way to block it, this did not prevent Garnett from coming forward to interfere.
After Chen Jiyuan made a move, he landed unsteadily, and he hit Garnett. He fell directly to the ground, but his eyes were still on the ball flying towards the basket.
Sure enough, Chen Jiyuan did not disappoint everyone, the ball still entered the basket, knocked the back edge of the basket, and fell directly into the basket. Duang's snort.
Chen Jiyuan clenched his fists with both hands. YESοΌ
