Chapter 176: The Final Battle (Part 3)
(The third is 5,000 words, and there should be another chapter next.) Thanks to the two of them for their tips. By the way, you can check out my two previous basketball novels when you have time. "Pride is not dead" and "violent strikers", especially pride is not dead, which is particularly good-looking. ďź
âŚâŚ
In the midst of the noise, Xiao walked up to Ricky Davis, who wanted to make sure how serious Ricky Davis's injury was and how bad it would be for the rest of the game.
On a very staffed Clippers team, Ricky Davis is a force to be reckoned with.
Soon the medical staff gave Xiao Po a desperate news, and they initially judged that Ricky Davis had problems with his hand bones and cervical spine, which means that he would definitely miss the game.
Soon, the medics brought in a stretcher and placed the wailing Ricky Davis on the stretcher.
When he was about to carry him out, Ricky Davis suddenly called Xiao Shi's name, and the medical staff subconsciously stopped moving, and Xiao Xiao also walked over. He was a little surprised, he didn't know what Ricky Davis would say to himself at this time.
In his surprise, he noticed that Ricky Davis gave him a smile, and then he gave him a thumbs up: "Although I still don't like you a little, I have to admit that you are a very good leader." You're doing so much better than LeBron James in your rookie season. Come on, I know you're going to win tonight! â
Ricky Davis's sudden smile and thumbs up made Xiao Xiao a little stunned, and then he was a little moved. Although Ricky Davis has been against him before, he at least has a good attitude towards the game. And now it's a bit lonely for him to leave the stage in such a way.
"Don't worry!" Xiao Shi stepped forward. She gently patted him on the shoulder. Then he put his fist on his chest and made the most manly promise.
Seeing this, Ricky Davis left with a smile on his face.
After Ricky Davis left, he walked to the bench and called Elsorton into the field.
And he walked to the free throw line, executed two technical fouls and four free throws.
While Xiao walked to the free throw line, Doug Rivers also reluctantly put Glenn Davis on the court. He didn't expect Perkins to exit in such an uncool manner, which disrupted all of his tactical plans. Perkins is average offensive. But on the defensive end, it is the Celtics' penalty area, and without him, the defensive ability of the interior line will obviously drop a little. No matter how strong KG is, he is a veteran after all.
At the same time, the large screen overhead began to replay the previous footage.
When the North Shore Garden fans saw Perkins violently flipping Ricky Davis out of the air and falling to the ground, they couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations. Even the home fans felt that this dangerous move was unsportsmanlike. The two technical fouls were really no problem at all.
However, when they saw Xiao Shi in the back reach of his hand against Perkins's neck, they let out some more boos. Although this action was very quickly rushed away by Byron Davis, it is not difficult to see from the picture. Perkins' expression was very uncomfortable. Obviously, Xiao Sa's persuasion was aggressive, and his expression was extremely fierce. It looked like he was going to strangle Perkins by the throat.
And in fact, that's how it is, chic is to lock the throat.
It's just that his movements are extremely secretive, even if the camera on the sidelines recorded it, you can only see him pressing his palm against Perkins's neck, and I don't see him pushing hard into the trachea in his neck.
Xiao Dash ignored these boos at all, and he also felt that Byron Davis came too early, and he should have known that Perkins should have been given another flirtatious leg to let him know how much a bad foul would cost.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Xiao and steadily hit four free throws, and he didn't give up at all.
After executing the serve, the ball was once again in the hands of the Clippers.
Byron Davidstone's forced break inside caused Glen Davis to foul and make two more free throws.
"Perkins was a bit of a high price for that foul, giving away a smash four points, and now he's giving away two more free throws. If Davis had hit both balls, it would have been eight points on an offense. CCTV's Yu Jia said.
"It doesn't matter how many points you score, it's that the behavior is so bad that it has to be punished. Perkins' action can completely accuse him of attempted murder, can his action still be called playing ball? It's like having a blood feud. I think Perkins will have a corresponding fine and ban in the future. If this foul is tolerated, then there will be no sense of security in dunking in the future. Director Zhang angrily criticized Perkins, and this also represents the attitude of the vast majority of fans.
Yu Jia obviously didn't have much anger at the malicious foul, he just said to himself: "Xiao is a very gentleman in the first schedule of the accident, he is too leader-like. He directly propped up Perkins with his palm, stopping him from further movement. To be honest, his action reminds me of Boss Fu back then, and that's how Francis protected rookie Yao Ming back then. And now, our rookie Xiao Xiao has been able to deal with the evil man Perkins face to face. â
"Yes, that's a compliment. Xiao is very competent in the first time, and it is the responsibility that a leader should have. This also lets the world know that the personality of the Chinese is not only forbearing, industrious and simple, but also daring to be the first in the world, and there is also the road to help when the road is uneven. Of course, next time, I still don't use my palm to support the opponent's throat, which can easily cause more damage. â
Director Zhang's last sentence made the audience in front of the TV laugh, and they felt that Director Zhang was too dark-bellied. Xiao Sa's action was not as simple as holding his opponent's throat with his hand, he seemed to be innocent. In fact, with Chic's fierce expression, this is more like an intentional throat locking action, and it is not difficult to see from the difficult expression on Perkins' face that Chic's strength is not small.
However, since the referee did not give a penalty. Then it's a simple act of holding the other person's throat with your hand. This is the deviation of the palm in the process of persuasion. It's completely understandable in a hurry.
Chinese fans just need to be chic and not suffer losses. As for whether Perkins is uncomfortable or not, whether he is suffocating or not, that's not their business.
Swish!
Bang!
Byron Davis hit one of two free throws, but DeAndre Jordan was very nimble to bypass Glen Davis and quickly bounce up and re-point the basketball back into the basket with his hand. Two more points for the Clippers.
No way, without Perkins' interior defense, the Celtics did have a lot of decline in the protection of backcourt rebounds.
And with DeAndre Jordan's rebound, the Clippers successfully extended the margin to 11 points. The game lasted less than four minutes.
This was clearly a surprise to everyone. No one would have thought that the Clippers would be able to open the game against the Bostonians with a seventeen-6 spurt, and this is at the North Shore Garden Arena, the league's most devilish home court, not even one of them.
And this score is not the worst for Celtics head coach Doug Rivers, the worst is that Kentrick Perkins sent himself off the court with a stupid act. Without him as an interior barrier, the Celtics' interior defense will immediately produce a huge drop. And tonight's Clippers have been in an abnormal situation, they have been sprinting to the restricted area, and almost all the scoring has been done in the restricted area.
Now, the Celtic crisis has arrived.
However, Kevin Garnett apparently doesn't think so. Perkins' fate didn't make him feel like the Clippers had a chance to win. Even if the Clippers still have an 11-point lead at this time.
"Damn rookie. Don't think I didn't see you choking Perkins by the neck, you thought you had fooled the referee's eyes. Can you deceive me? Kevin Garnett kept chattering on the way back to the half.
Xiao Shi pouted disapprecriminately: "So what? Can you send me off? Idiot! â
Xiao Dash doesn't respect Kevin Garnett, a famous basketball veteran like other rookies, in fact, for him, all players are the same. Because, he has never followed the NBA before, and Garnett is famous for his, does he still have to go up and ask him for an autograph?
And Kevin Garnett had obviously never seen such a rookie who disrespected his predecessors, and his eyes widened immediately: This hateful guy actually called me an idiot? How dare he call me an idiot? Doesn't he know how terrible I am? Doesn't he know how many fans I have? This guy who doesn't know the height of the sky!!
Kevin Garnett was about to teach Xiao a good lesson, and Xiao Xiao had already run over quickly, followed behind Tony Parker, and tried his best to defend.
Seeing this, Kevin Garnett could only hold back for the time being, and then settle accounts with this bastard when he had the chance.
Meanwhile, another rookie from the Clippers has come to him.
DeAndre Jordan followed Kevin Garnett's footsteps closely under a chic gesture.
DeAndre Jordan is taller than Kevin Durant, and his feet are nimble and athletic. The only drawback is that the body plate is not thick enough, and the strength is a bit insufficient. But Kevin Garnett is not known for his strength on the inside, so he can limit Kevin Garnett on a certain distance.
Kevin Garnett, on the other hand, didn't believe in this evil, and when he saw that it was a rookie defending himself, he quickly reached out and got a pass from Rajon Rondo.
As soon as he got the pass, he was ready to shake off DeAndre Jordan with a feint.
But the dashing voice sounded on the other side of the court: "DeAndrew, don't be fooled by his feints, don't jump around." As long as you follow his footsteps, he won't dare to shoot in front of you. Because he can't jump anymore. â
Xiao's words undoubtedly gave DeAndre Jordan a good inspiration, but at the same time, Garnett was extremely angry...... You actually said I can't jump?
Garnett immediately made a quick quick step to the left to break through, and after bringing DeAndre Jordan's center of gravity over, he took a sharp step back, like a defender, pulling the center of gravity back. And DeAndre Jordan's center of gravity has passed, and it is difficult to pull back to pounce.
In this situation, Kevin Garnett hurriedly jumped to shoot.
But at the moment when he was about to make a move, he felt the sound of the wind blowing in his ears, and before he could understand what was going on, the basketball he held in both hands was ripped away by a huge force, and the strong pulling force even made him almost fall from the air.
Then. Only then did he realize that he was being capped. And it is also the most humiliating catch in the rivers and lakes!
But at this moment. The referee blew the whistle and he made a gesture for a foul.
Now, Xiao Xiao couldn't stand it at all. He hurriedly rushed to the referee with the basketball he had just forcibly snatched from Garnett: "Sir, this is a very beautiful block, this is not a thug foul!" 1â
"It's a move between a foul and a block, and I have a good reason to blow you for a foul." The referee was patient and explained, "If you take off Glen Davis's shot, I probably won't blow the whistle." â
The referee was very clear.
Xiao Sao could only helplessly hand over the basketball in his hand. It was not easy for him to deliberately guide Kevin Garnett to make an angry jumper, and then unknowingly rushed over to block it.
It's just that I didn't expect to trigger Superstar's passive protection skill at this time.
Chic is helpless, this is no longer a technical problem.
When Kevin Garnett stood on the free throw line, he ran over with an arrogant face and said, "I don't believe you will be protected by this unspoken rule next time, I will definitely cover it back." â
In the face of this rookie's arrogance, Kevin Garnett also replied with great arrogance: "I will not give you this kind of sneak attack from behind again, and then I will focus on you, I will definitely let you taste what is the baptism that fell from the sky!! â
"Good! I waited. â
Xiao smiled and nodded, and then walked to the half court to defend early. Avoid the Celtics suddenly playing a fast break.
"The Celtics' home whistle is too strict, right? This ball is obviously a beautiful cover. The timing of the chic is very good! CCTV's Yu Jia loudly held grievances for Xiao Shao, and he said what the vast majority of fans wanted. From the fans' point of view, this block could have scored five goals, but the result was a foul.
"No, the timing of the chic is not very good. If he had taken the basketball off after Kevin Garnett had made a shot, the referee wouldn't have been able to blow the home whistle even if he wanted to. But now he ripped the basketball off before Kevin Garnett could shoot, causing a certain amount of physical contact and giving the referee a basis for blowing his foul. Director Zhang said matter-of-factly: "Although most of this situation is not blown, Kevin Garnett is a superstar after all." The NBA has a certain amount of care for superstars, and that's understandable. Back then, Michael Jordan automatically stood at the free throw line whenever the referee blew the whistle. This is also a conventional thing, so what Xiao Sao should do is to become a star quickly. â
Zhang's words make a lot of sense.
Bang! Swish!
Kevin Garnett made one of two free throws, and there was obviously something wrong with the shooting percentage, and I don't know if it was a shadow left by Xiao Splitting His Head and Covering His Brain.
Once again, Xiao Po hurriedly deployed his combat power to block and dismantle Byron Davis, allowing him to rush straight to the penalty area and create damage.
After Byron Davis used the pick-and-roll to break away from Rajon Rondo's defense and rush into the restricted area, he originally thought he could create a foul, but it turned out that Glen Davis didn't have time to block at all, and he had no choice but to make an easy basket.
Such an easy layup score was something Byron Davis didn't expect.
Again, this is something that Doug Rivers didn't expect, he didn't expect Glenn Davis's defense to be scum to this point, and actually watched the opponent go to the basket, which is also too ... Waste wood, right?
Doug Rivers looked at the bench helplessly, there was also a Leon Bowe, and a Brian Cala Brian, although Leon Bowe could defend, but his height and weight were really not enough for Chris Carman. And Scala Brian in the Celtics is basically the mascot of the storage zĂ i, that is, garbage time needs him to heat up the scene to join in the fun.
There's no one on the inside!!
Doug Rivers was rather helpless, he remembered PJ Brown last season, and if he was still here, at least the defense would not have such a big problem.
Xiao obviously didn't expect Perkins to go down, but it was very good news for him. Because Perkins' Celtics are a complete system without flaws, and immediately after he left the game, there was a hole in the box.
And all the Clippers need to do now is to keep seizing on the Celtics' loopholes and fighting to the death.
As a result, the rest of the game became a stalemate.
Celtic have always been able to rely on strong teams to get attacking opportunities. The Clippers, on the other hand, are tirelessly attacking the interior, and almost every ball is solved in the restricted area.
Under the back and forth, the two sides fought an extremely stalemate.
And the score difference has been maintained at about 10 points.
Soon, the first quarter passed.
Soon, the second quarter also passed.
Soon, half of the third quarter was over.
As the game progressed, Doug Rivers' brow tightened. Because he found that Xiao Xiao has not been a main attacker so far, he has been running, he has been actively motivating other players, and he has been letting his teammates attack the Celtics' interior line.
However, he himself has not yet made a move.
In other words, the Clippers actually played a close match with the Celtics without a shot, although the Celtics have chased the score to only 7 points behind. But Doug Rivers really didn't have any bottom in his heart, because he couldn't guess what Xiao Sheng would do next.
But he knew that the difference had to be tied quickly, and if he didn't tie it before the start of the fourth quarter, the game would be particularly difficult to play in the fourth quarter.
So, he asked for a pause.
He's going to change the lineup, he's going to have to attack more.
And at this time, Xiao Xiao finally felt tired.
Back at the bench, he refused the drink Teresa handed him, instead sitting on the sidelines gasping for air. His teammates around him are similar, for this game, everyone fights, otherwise it would not be such a stalemate, after all, the opponent is a powerful Celtic.
"All right, brothers. It's up to me next. Xiao Sao stood up and patted the tired Elsolton, Byron Davis, and Chris Carman.
These three were the biggest contributors to maintaining the lead, and they did almost all they could, and the Clippers scored mostly by these three men.
Now, they're at the end of the crossbow.
However, Xiao is ready to take over the game.
The final battle is finally about to begin.
