Chapter 495: One Foot in the Finals

'A perfect mid-air turn, a juggling goal, Wood, Wood's crucial goal.

It was a goal that was entirely individual and Doug had to call a halt to the game, and now that Boston are in a position behind, they have to set it up. ”

Bill. Wharton nodded, he agreed with Hoffman's point of view, Linson's goal was difficult and enjoyable to the maximum, and with the key attributes of this goal, Linson's attack was too crucial: "If Boston's key attack can't be scored next, then Orlando is likely to win this game."

If Boston loses this game, then the results of this round of the series will be basically decided, and the 3-1 overall lead basically ensures that Orlando can enter the finals.

Now it's up to Boston to make the next key offense, and the Boston fans are already on their feet. ”

"Defend, defend! They will definitely hand the ball to PP or Ray. Aaron's hand ...... "Stan. Van Gundy shouted loudly that the Celtics' next pick is most likely two points.

Although the Celtics no longer have the physical strength to play overtime, it is undoubtedly the safest for the conservative Celtics to score two points, which is far safer than betting on three points.

Doug. Rivers certainly knows that the team's biggest problem is fitness, although he hasn't put the team in a disadvantageous situation because of fitness issues so far.

But he knew that the physical strength of the team's big three had reached its limit, and overtime was not a good choice, but it was too risky to choose three points, and he didn't dare to try lightly.

"The first choice is PP, you and KG are blockers, and if KG has a chance then you choose to pass. The first choice is still you.

Alan. You run the position. If there is an opportunity on the outside, then be sure to make a shot! "Doug. Rivers said in a calm voice.

The hearts of the Celtics fans at the North Shore Garden Arena were tangled. Under Anji's operation, the team gathered the Big Three, and waited for the opportunity to re-compete for the O'Brien Cup.

However, it is so miserable that the team will probably say goodbye to the stage of this season in 32 seconds.

106:104, the dazzling score has a limited time to affect the hearts of most people.

"I guess Celtic are going to lose, they're under too much pressure."

"Not necessarily. The Celtics have a lot of key players and enough player experience, and the Magic may be tied or even overtaken if they are not careful. ”

"It's good to play overtime, so you can watch it for a while!"

"Ray. Allen scored 44 points, Wood also scored 38 points, and in overtime, the two might have scored more than 40 points. ”

……

The fans discussed while the players from both sides returned to the field.

Honk!

The pressure is entirely on the Celtics' side, and even if they use the remaining time to complete an offense, the Magic still have at least eight seconds to attack and complete the final blow.

"How will Boston choose this offense, press the time to go all out or attack hard. Leave yourself the last hope? Hoffman said as he looked at the Celtic players.

Garnett stood on the sidelines, as a whistle blew. Garnett passes the ball to Rajan. Rondo.

Rondo received the ball and immediately handed it to Pierce, and the rest of the Celtics immediately pulled away.

"Oh, is it handed over to PP singles? Ron is under a lot of pressure! "Bill. Wharton said as he looked at Pierce with the ball.

Artest faced Pierce with the ball alone, and he thought about the possibility of Pierce holding the ball and single-handedly beating him.

Without lowering his weight, Artest took a step forward with his left foot, and the whole person was a little closer to Pierce.

Pierce didn't rush to attack, lowered his body center of gravity, and made a triple threat.

The whole person leaned forward, and the left shoulder had a tendency to press against Artest.

Boom!

Pierce's body collided with Artest, and at the moment after the collision, Pierce slapped the ball with his right hand, and the whole person withdrew with his left foot.

The upper body shook, and Artest immediately forced up.

Milicic, who was guarding Garnett, leaned close to Garnett.

Garnett stepped back to the middle, and the whole man quickly ran to Pierce's side.

And Pierce continued to dribble under the crotch with a low center of gravity, and suddenly took a cross step in the face of Artest's defense.

"PP breakthrough, KG cover!" Hoffman shouted.

Bang!

Artest, who was moving, crashed into Garnett's body, and in an instant Pierce found a chance to make a move!

"PP shot, this is an opportunity! Can you equalize! "Bill. Wharton shouted loudly, and Linson, who had just picked up the ball from the top of the arc, had already left Pierce's fingers.

"Rebound!" Lin Sen watched Pierce's shot and shouted at the inside.

And the moment Pierce made a move, he also felt a little surprised.

Garnetra came out, and only Perkins was on the inside, while Howard and Milicic were guarding the basket to protect the rebound.

Clang!

Pierce threw the ball and smashed into the rim of the basket, and the sound of iron hitting sent chills down the hearts of all Celtics fans.

"Didn't shoot, PP didn't make a crucial shot, rebound, Dwight!" Bill. Wharton shouted, only to see Howard leap high and grab the ball out of the air.

Howard grabbed the defensive rebound, and depending on the previous timeout, he called a timeout or passed the ball out as soon as possible.

However, before Howard could call a timeout, Perkins hugged Howard directly.

The referee's whistle immediately blew and Stan was off the field. Van Gundy thumped his hands in annoyance.

Howard's walk to the free-throw line was a test for the Magic, who have improved on his free-throw shooting this season, shooting over 60 percent from the free-throw line in the regular season to 62 percent.

However, the 62% free throw percentage is still too low, and if Howard misses two free throws this time, it still gives the Celtics a big chance, and there are 22 seconds left before the end of the game.

"Dwight goes to the free-throw line, and once Dwight makes one of two free throws, then at least Orlando can take the initiative in regulation time. Tied by Boston for overtime.

If Dwight misses two free throws. Then there is a silver lining for Boston. If you hit both free throws, then Boston's game is basically over. Hoffman said as he looked at Howard as he walked to the free-throw line.

Howard is under a lot of pressure, and he also knows that his free throws are the key to whether the Magic can make it to the Finals.

"You can do it!" Linson patted Howard on the ass and stepped back beyond the three-point line.

However, Howard was stiff on his first free throw, and the ball bounced straight into the front of the basket amid boos from the audience.

"Oh, Dwight misses the first free throw, which means he gives Boston a chance to live, and if he doesn't hit the next free throw, it gives Boston a new chance.

on the basketball court. Such missed opportunities are likely to bring bad consequences. "Bill. Wharton looked at Howard and said.

Howard watched the basket tense up, and he knew how critical this free throw was.

Lin Sen, who was outside the three-point line, looked at Howard with Rondo.

Howard watched the basket lift the ball, and Linson pushed Rondo with his right hand, ready to rush in to grab the rebound.

"Dwight shot!" Hoffman shouted loudly as Howard made his move, and Linson pushed Rondo to the inside at the moment Howard made his shot.

"Rebound!" Howard shouted loudly, and Garnett and Perkins on the inside were in good hands.

Clang!

With a crunch, the ball bounced high and Garnett and Perkins jumped at the same time. It's a critical rebound, and they've got to take it.

For!

Lin Sen stomped heavily with his left foot one step inside the free throw line. The whole person rose from the ground.

Garnett and Perkins were right in front of Linsen, who was just too fast.

He jumped before Garnett, getting taller and taller.

Lin Sen jumped up and seemed to have exhausted all his strength, feeling that he was jumping higher and higher, and his outstretched arms were grabbing the basketball that bounced in the air!

And in front of it is Garnett's body.

Bang!

The bodies of the two collided, Lin Sen gritted his teeth, the whole person's body was still rising, and everyone stared at Lin Sen in the air with wide eyes.

Linson actually competed with Garnett for this rebound, and the position was completely undominant.

Garnett's hands were about to touch the falling ball, and his back felt the impact of Linsen's back, and he directly exerted force.

Lin Sen instantly lost the center of gravity of his body, and the whole person leaned forward a little.

Before Garnett, Linson picked up the ball with his right hand.

The ball flew back to the basket less than five centimeters from Garnett's palm, and Lin Sen directly lost his center of gravity.

"Wood, Wood, Wood actually grabbed a key frontcourt rebound, Wood pointed the ball to the basket, is there!" Bill. Wharton shouted.

And Lin Sen in the air directly brushed with Garnett's body, and the whole person fell to the floor.

Honk!

Garnett's body also began to fall, and he had to jump a second time.

Boom!

Lin Sen fell directly from the air and fell heavily under the basket.

Adriana on the sidelines. Lima subconsciously stood up, and she could clearly hear the sound of Chu Linsen falling on the floor from such a distance.

Lin Sen kept looking at the ball that he picked up to the basket, and the ball flew towards the basket.

Rolling on the edge of the basket, one or two circles touched everyone's hearts.

No one spoke, all waiting for the final result, Doug. Rivers prayed for the ball to slide out of the basket, and if Linson had put the ball in the basket this time, the Celtics would have really been out of play with four points behind.

Garnett regained his footing and prepared to jump, but the ball rolled three laps around the basket before finally sliding headlong into the basket.

"Wood, Wood, Wood's key frontcourt rebound, he pressed KG and put the ball into the basket, and it was a pivotal layup that changed the whole series." Bill. Wharton yelled.

Lying on the floor, Lin Sen threw his fist hard, and although the game was not over yet, Lin Sen knew that he had won.

The Celtics couldn't believe what they were seeing, they lost the least deserved rebound.

It's only 18 seconds and they're four points behind, which means they have to steal one and then foul again, and if this steal fails, they really don't have a chance.

But after the timeout, the whole game felt excellent Ray. Allen smashed a three-point shot into the basket, and Milicic grabbed a defensive rebound to mean the end of the game.

When the full-time whistle blew, the 3-1 aggregate lead left all Celtic fans breathless. (To be continued......)
