Chapter 399: The Good Show Stages (First Update)
While everyone at ESPN knows that the situation is now more in favor of the Celtics, no one doubts the possibility of a miracle reversal. This guy doesn't know how many times he has counterattacked, along the way, countless people have given him cold eyes, countless people have thrown him bricks, and countless people have poured cold water on him. However, the person who gave him a cold eye was slapped in the face, the person who threw his bricks was poured directly into the pillar of shame with reinforced concrete, and as for the cold water that was poured on him, he boiled it all and splashed it back.
So, now, gradually, there are fewer and fewer people trying to slap the face in the face. Especially after the ups and downs of the first round...... In the first round, before the start of every game, there were countless people who insisted that the Magic team would win, and falsely said that the Knicks would lose, and Xiao would inevitably suffer humiliation. But the final result was without exception, the Magic lost all four games, and the Knicks easily swept to advance. Countless people's faces were swollen and broken.
As a result, in the second round, even if the Knicks met the Boston Celtics, few people jumped out and publicly said that the Boston Celtics would win. Because, they don't want to continue to be slapped in the face, and if they have a chic game, they can't be inferred with common sense at all.
Drip!
Soon the fourth quarter began.
Xiao changed his teammates to David Lee, Jeffries, Gary Nani and Nate Robinson.
This is a run-and-gun lineup that can't be more pure, that's how D'Antoni used it before Xiao didn't come, but Xiao Xiao's position was more often replaced by Chris Dujon's guy, so they failed miserably.
And now, after the arrival of chic. Naturally, this lineup will exert different powers.
"Xiao! Now I'll control the ball! "When you walk on the pitch. Nate Robinson walked over to Chick. Suddenly, he made a very unreasonable request: "I think I can help you share the pressure of scoring." ”
Nate Robinson is a straight-hearted man with a lot of intelligence, so the questions he asks are a bit out of place.
So, a lot of the time, all he gets is cold denial.
But this time, after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Sao gave him a positive answer: "Okay! Have fun with you. ”
Xiao Sang effortlessly fulfilled Nate Robinson's wish and gave him a deep blessing.
Suddenly. Nate Robinson was so excited that this instant affirmation made him feel happy and comfortable from the bottom of his heart, as if he had fireworks blooming in his heart!
"Rest assured, I'm going to do my job as a point guard, and I'm going to get the basketball to my teammates in the open space while I'm going to keep attacking. I want the world to know that I'm also a selfless point guard who can pass the ball!! ”
Although the whole world knows that Nate Robinson doesn't like to pass the ball, when his head is bloodshot, all he has in his eyes is the basket. But Xiao Shi still nodded and gave him approval: "Hmm." I know. ”
This recognition once again made Nate Robinson's heart flutter...... Finally someone trusts me so unconditionally, I will not let him down, I will definitely become a perfect point guard.
Nate Robinson silently made an oath in his heart.
After the referee's whistle, Xiao Shi gave him the ball. He then strode across the halfcourt, completely handing over basketball dominance to Nate Robinson.
This scene fell into the eyes of Doug Rivers on the sidelines. At first, I was a little surprised, and then I suddenly realized: Oh, it turned out that I wanted to save my body! It's a pity that none of the other Knicks players can carry the offensive banner, and when you recover a little, the game will enter garbage time!!
Doug Rivers thought he had seen through the chic.
Nate Robinson also thinks that Xiao Xiao believes in himself unconditionally.
But in reality, what Xiao Xiao gave to Nate Robinson was nothing more than an inconsequential recognition. Nate Robinson couldn't score, and scoring or not scoring was no longer in his calculations. Because he doesn't have any requirements for Nate Robinson, his recognition and recognition of Nate Robinson is only perfunctory. But what he didn't expect was that his perfunctory gave Nate Robinson the ultimate encouragement, which made the small universe in his heart burst into flames.
As for Nate Robinson's inner feelings, Xiao Xiao naturally did not know.
And the reason why he was willing to give the ball to Nate Robinson was the opposite of what Doug Rivers had guessed.
Xiao Sao found that although he had been scoring and breaking through tonight, his body still did not feel a trace of fatigue so far, and he was worried that if he continued like this, he would not be able to get tired even if the game was over. So, he decided to run when he came on the field and consume the most of his body with active running.
So, by the time Nate Robinson got the ball to the three-point line, he was already running at a brisk pace.
As soon as Xiao Shao ran, the Celtic defense line automatically contracted, although they were joint defenses, but under Xiao Shao's unconscious run, it was a little chaotic in an instant.
It's been a long time since Xiao Xiao has run like this, and in fact, in the second half of the regular season, his unordered running was actually the Knicks' main tactic. But with the playoffs and Stephen Marbury's injury, the tactics were put on hold indefinitely.
Now that he is running again, the other players are familiar with it.
Only Nate Robinson is unfamiliar, because he hasn't played since he had a fight with Xiao Sage. And if he hadn't apologized and asked for help in Game 3, he would never have played with the Knicks.
If it was Nate Robinson in the past, he would have looked at the chaos in front of him. will definitely seek chaos in the chaos, plunge in headlong, make the situation more chaotic with the attitude of a master of chaos, and then look for an opportunity to make a move.
But tonight was different, or his mentality had changed since he was encouraged to agree. He felt he should be what he called a selfish point guard. Apparently, he was hypnotized by himself.
The consequence of this hypnosis is that he passes the ball. He saw an opportunity and slipped the basketball straight to Jeffries, who had an open spot.
Jeffries received the ball and quickly passed it to Gallinani, who was in the other open space. Garinnani catches the ball and shoots quickly...... Hit three points with a quick save from Ray Allen!!
Did Garinani score?
Doug Rivers on the sidelines was quite surprised.
He never dreamed that after Xiao Xiao handed the ball to Nate Robinson, the final result would be this...... The Knicks actually played an offensive match. Nate Robinson actually could pass the ball?? Isn't that guy the one who only has baskets in his eyes???
Doug Rivers was taken aback. It was the second time he was shocked by Nate Robinson in this game.
Last time. Nate Robinson's hot-blooded, reckless collision fueled the Knicks' players and made the Celtics' defense no longer work. And this time, it was he who opened the situation. Only this time he used the passing method, and he became the second person the Knicks could pass the ball besides Xiao...... In fact, his position is also point guard. It's just that over the years, no one has ever regarded him as a point guard at only 1.75 meters.
"Good job." Xiao Xiao didn't expect Nate Robinson to create an unexpected surprise, he walked over and patted Nate Robinson on the head.
This action in the NBA is generally an encouragement from the big brother to the younger brother.
And Nate Robinson's age and seniority are actually a cut over Xiao. But Xiao Shi did not arouse his unhappiness and disgust, and even he was quite comfortable...... He thinks that this encouragement from Chi Wan has given him great strength. After all, Xiao Dash is now the object of his inner admiration.
"Nate Robinson is once again the Knicks' game-breaker. No one expected him to be able to connect so seamlessly with the empty seats left by Stephen Marbury. The Celtics are in trouble, and if they lose the game, their laissez-faire in the third quarter will be the thing they will regret the most. ESPN's host said.
"Let's take a look, maybe it's just a flash of inspiration!" Reggie Miller is more conservative.
His opinion was exactly the same as that of Doug Rivers, and after his panic, he also calmed down, thinking that it was most likely a flash of inspiration from Nate Robinson. With his past image, he couldn't have been able to consistently make passing moves.
The Celtics returned to the halfcourt and still scored easily because the Knicks didn't defend much at all.
After Pierce hits the middle distance. The Knicks' ball was still sent to Nate Robinson.
When the offense and defense switched to the Celtics half, Xiao still ran for the full half. tirelessly stirred up the Celtic defense.
And Nate Robinson once again stayed outside the three-point line, very patiently waiting for his time.
Soon, there were empty seats inside. Nate Robinson hurried for a breakaway. Just when Lagalondo thought Nate Robinson finally couldn't hold back the attack, Robinson's ball had reached the bottom corner of the three-point line.
Garinani catches the ball and hits a three-point shot!!
Drip!
Doug Rivers did not hesitate to ask for a timeout as the scores of the two teams were already tied. And, Nate Robinson has really become a disinterested point guard, and he has to be targeted defensively.
Doug Rivers' timeouts have always been timely and swift.
Although Xiao knew that Doug Rivers would definitely change his moves and definitely defend Nate Robinson, he still didn't make any tactical arrangements when he returned to the bench. Instead, I lay on the ground and did push-ups!
When the picture of Xiao Xiao doing push-ups was projected onto the big screen overhead, the remaining sixty percent of the fans in the North Shore Garden Arena subconsciously let out a panicked sound...... Because they've also heard the legend of death push-ups...... Whenever he has done push-ups, he has never lost a single one. That is, is tonight's home field going to sink??
The panic of the fans alarmed the Celtics players over there, and they couldn't help but be a little worried.
But Kevin Garnett shouted and sobered up their consciousness again...... "This qiē is that kid's psychological tactics, don't fall for him." ”
Doug Rivers hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, he deliberately wanted to put pressure on us. But we just need to be ourselves to be invincible, and then we're going to ............."
Doug Rivers quickly set up his tactics, he didn't want the players to be distracted by this, and he didn't want them to be afraid of the game because of this.
At the same time, the TV station was also discussing this death push-up.
"Look at the chic on the side of the court, and the death push-ups reappear in the rivers and lakes. I don't know if you believe this legend or not, but I'm pretty convinced. Because history has proven this qiē. Wherever he has done push-up competitions. He won both. The host said.
"I'm not a superstitious person, but I'm convinced of Chick, although I don't know why he does push-ups in competition." Reggie Miller also believes in chic.
"Is there any doubt about that? Definitely the Knicks will win. The Celtics were strong, but they were disrupted from the start tonight, starting with Lagalondo's stimulated direct two-quarter game without playing. Then he was made a bloody drama by Nate Robinson, and now he is playing push-ups again, and all the favorable information points to the Knicks. And don't tell me that the Celts are stronger. I don't believe in this at all now, isn't the Magic stronger than the Knicks? Isn't it that you haven't had a temper at all that has been swept away? ”
The Magic being swept has always been a pain in Jeff Van Gundy's heart.
When ESPN's studio leaned toward the Knicks' side with its unprincipled and untechnical push-ups, the game resumed.
After the restart, Celtic still scored comfortably.
And after the switch between offense and defense, they specifically used James Posey to defend against Nate Robinson.
Although James Posey's defense is not very good, he is more than enough to deal with Nate Robinson.
Under the care of James Posey, Nate Robinson finally spent twenty seconds before he could barely pass the basketball to Gallinani, who could only make quick shots when he received the basket...... Bang!
Basketball is finally still iron.
This ball made Nate Robinson extremely annoyed, but Xiao Shi walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "It's already very good." ”
Xiao Swan is very satisfied from the bottom of his heart. Because for him, the more offensive time consumed, the more he runs, and the more he runs, the faster his body will naturally be consumed. And the faster the body is consumed, the easier it is to enter a state of exhaustion. When you're tired, it's time to win.
Nate Robinson was moved again by Chick's encouragement, and now in his heart, Chick is simply an angel...... It's great, it not only gives me confidence and recognition, but also gives me tolerance...... I have to work hard, I have to live up to his hopes, I have to help him win.
Nate Robinson pursed his lips, his mind full of emotion, all in return.
Xiao Xiao didn't expect that his words and deeds would affect Nate Robinson so deeply, and he could actually make him feel the love to repay his kindness.
Either way, as long as it generates positive energy, it's fine.
The Celtics were still able to score easily, and back on the defensive end, they still used James Posey to defend Nate Robinson, and his defense was still effective. After being stangled for nearly twenty seconds, Nate Robinson finally exploded and threw the basketball out with a super flinch...... Swish!
The basketball ended up winning!
Defender James Posey looked stunned...... Can you get in this way?
The fans are also dumbfounded.
Nate Robinson shouted excitedly...... "God is on our side, our luck has been perfected!" ”
Nate Robinson howled excitedly, as if he were a blessed chosen one.
However, it was clear that his body could not bear God's blessings.
Soon he found out that his super three-pointer was just a goal that had spent all his luck.
Because next, not only did James Posey strengthen his defense, but Lagalondo did not continue to run with Xiao, but put some defensive attention on him.
Nate Robinson isn't a super-capable player per se, so where else can he play tricks with this kind of All-Star-caliber defensive treatment?
He can only constantly swing back and forth outside the three-point line, wasted time needlessly.
Then, it's either a mistake or a miss!
Nate Robinson felt terrible, but he still encouraged him: "I believe in you, you will do better!" ”
The reason why Xiao Sa encouraged him was because he felt that his body had begun to gradually get tired.
Even if Nate Robinson is passive, at least he will not be directly tackled by his opponent, at least he is constantly consuming game time. And, because of his previous two passes plus that super-big three-pointer, the difference was kept within a manageable range.
In fact, he has exceeded his dashing task. And he didn't know it himself, he was just very annoyed, and the more Xiao Shi encouraged him, the more he felt sorry for Xiao Sao's trust and tolerance. He secretly swore in his heart that he must hone his skills well, even if it has no effect in the short term, maybe he will have an epiphany one day? Once you have an epiphany, you can repay the grace of Xiao Shi's acquaintance.
The so-called death of a confidant, Nate Robinson's subconscious has already regarded Xiao Shi as a confidant of infinite worship.
While Nate Robinson was frustrated, the mood on the Celtics' side was getting lighter as they led by more and more points as time went on. And the other good news is that since the fourth quarter, Xiao Sao has been stuck at 58 points. He's been running blindly, and I don't know if he's confused.
However, it's okay if his head is confused.
In this way, you can not only win, but also save the face of not being ruined for the highest score.
How nice it is to have both fish and bear's paws!!
Doug Rivers' heart was filled with joy.
At this time, Paul Pierce hit a mid-range jumper on the court to extend the lead to 11 points.
There were only 5 minutes left until the end of the game.
The Knicks don't look like there's any chance of a comeback, as they can't organize any effective offense right now other than being passive or passive.
Alas!
Garbage time may be announced soon!
The fans left behind in the North Shore Garden Arena were also beaming, they felt that those fans who left were so stupid that they missed such a wonderful show!
But.
Is the show really going on?
