Chapter 257: Hard Kill Match
The Wizards serve, there are less than 10 minutes left in the game, after Hinrich dribbles to the front court, he still plays with Li Kaiming to block and dismantle, the rest of the Wizards run without the ball, Li Kaiming makes a block and dismantle for Nick Young in the middle distance waist position after blocking and dismantling, Hinrich passes inside and outside to Nick Yang who is running, and the latter catches the ball and throws it, and hits an iron crisply.
The opportunity for the ball actually came out, it was a complete vacancy, Li Kaiming gave Nick Young to block the chasing Ray Allen, but the latter still didn't hit.
The Celtics attacked, Rondo broke through to the middle range with the help of cover, and then a wide transfer ball to Pierce on the outside, Pierce shook Thorton and broke through two steps inside, attracting Nick Young, and then passed to Ray Allen in the bottom corner.
But fortunately, Ray Allen's hand was not good tonight, the ball didn't hit, Garnett and Blatch competed for rebounding, the basketball was pointed out, Li Kaiming dribbled himself to launch a fast break, and now the Wizards need to break the scoring drought, and if it goes on like this, the game time is running out.
Garnett saw that Li Kaiming was going to play with the ball by himself, and immediately followed, and Davis couldn't keep up 100%.
But even with an interior line with full speed like Garnett, in front of someone like Li Kaiming who has elite-level outside speed, the former's follow-up defense is not enough.
That is, Li Kaiming dribbled forward by himself, so the speed slowed down, and Garnett could barely chase after his ass.
Several other Celtics also quickly returned to defense, with Ray Allen and Rondo being the fastest, and the two were waiting outside the three-point line early, ready to directly help Li Kaiming force the brakes.
The other players of the Wizards team started to break fast in three ways, Hinrich ran to the bottom corner, Li Kaiming saw that Rondo and Ray Allen were standing at the top of the arc, and knew that it should be no fun for him to break through with the ball, so he directly stuffed the ball to Hinrich in the bottom corner.
Just when Xin Li was about to throw the ball himself after catching it, he suddenly saw Li Kaiming give him a look, and then pointed to the sky with his finger.
Garnett, who was following behind Li Kaiming, saw Li Kaiming pass the ball out, and just gave a breath, but suddenly found that Li Kaiming in front of him started again, he forcibly inserted it directly from Ray Allen's side, and took a big step and rushed directly to the vicinity of the free throw line.
And Hinrich in the bottom corner was also full of tacit understanding, and when Li Kaiming had not yet jumped, he threw the ball directly in the direction of the basket!
At this time, the basket was empty, Li Kaiming glided in the air for a second, and at a distance of one meter in front of the basket, his arm blocked Xinrich's pass with one hand, and then the whole person's torso was bent into the shape of a bow in the air, and then all the energy stored in the body exploded, Li Kaiming split the basketball with one arm and poured the basketball into the basket!
78 to 88.
"Even-bought Karma! Li Kaiming can make such an action after playing three quarters without rest at all, won't he be tired? What a monster! Commentator Brydon exclaimed.
After Li Kaiming landed on his knees, he high-fived Xinrich, and the emotions of the audience were mobilized again by the ball, their own stars have not given up, and there is still hope for the game!
Next, the Celtics attacked, in the face of the boos of the fans in the mcI center, Garnett challenged Bradge's defense with his back, and after the iron, the rebound was taken by Li Kaiming, and the Celtics began to strictly control and did not let Li Kaiming take the ball, so Li Kaiming passed the ball to Hinrich, and he threw off his arms and ran desperately to the frontcourt!
Li Kaiming's speed without the ball is the fastest on this court, and it is estimated that only the little potato Nate Robinson on the Green Army bench can keep up, and no one else can even think about it.
Garnett gasped and gritted his teeth to chase Li Kaiming's back, while scolding the latter in his heart, "You are jungler, why is the stinky boy running so fast, is there a wolf chasing you behind?" ”
With this tactic, Hinrich has played with Li Kaiming more than once, and seeing Li Kaiming running to the position where he is ahead of everyone, Hinrich directly made a long pass through the whole court and passed the ball to the position one step ahead of Li Kaiming.
And Li Kaiming is a second acceleration, caught up with Hinrich's pass, at this time has come to the position of the three-point line, the moment he receives the ball, Li Kaiming's speed slows down, because to adjust the rhythm of the layup, it is this short less than a second of time, Garnett, who is chasing after him, has already followed, Li Kaiming immediately decided to close the ball directly, starting from the three-point line to make a three-step layup!
Victor in the commentary seat was directly stunned, "Good girl, what is Li Kaiming going to do?" Three-step layup at the three-point line? ”
Garnett in the back didn't expect that Li Kaiming would be so crisp, because as long as it was a little later, Garnett could directly pull the ball down with an understatement foul, but now he can't do it!
Li Kaiming took two big steps in a row, just like a triple jumper, each step can take a super long distance, and then directly connect to a one-arm split!
Take 2 more points, 80 to 88!
Li Kaiming returned the Celtics a 4-0 by himself, and the difference returned to 8 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
There are still 8 minutes to go before the end of the game, and 3 minutes to go before Li Kaiming's key scorer time.
The Celtics missed two rounds in a row, so this time they were ready to play a success rate, handed the ball to Pierce to single Thorton, and won 2 points steadily, Thorton's physical strength tonight was almost all used to defend Pierce, but even this was completely unable to stop the latter.
80 to 90.
The Celtics also made changes on the defensive end, and when the Wizards served, all four of them, except for Rondo, returned to the backcourt to defend in order to prevent Li Kaiming from playing another one with a fast break.
The two teams played like this until the last five minutes of the game, when the difference between the two sides was 86-95, and the Celtics maintained the difference steadily, and then simply began to limit Li Kaiming to receive the ball, so the Wizards' offense fell into the quagmire again.
And when there were 5 minutes left in the game time, Li Kaiming once again felt the familiar offensive badge effect, so he directly took over the ball like the last time he played the Bulls.
The first time he dribbled to the front court by himself, he took advantage of Garnett's lack of clinging to the defense, and pulled out his hand directly from a position one step away from the three-point line!
Garnett reached out too late, and Li Kaiming scored a three-point shot!
89 to 95.
The Celtics' offense, Rondo's pass mistake was stealed by Thorton, Li Kaiming asked for the ball directly from Thorton's hands, and then dribbled to the front court, Garnett chose to defend close this time, Li Kaiming changed direction by a super large margin, shook off Garnett and broke through a step into the three-point line, so that Garnett moved into the three-point line, and suddenly pulled back and retreated, retreated to the three-point line, and then pulled it up and threw it!
Three points and more!
92 to 95!
The crowd at the mcI Center went into a frenzy because the same scene happened at the Bulls' home court the other day, could the same thing happen again tonight?
On the commentary bench, Brydon and Victor were originally going to gesture things to get off work, but now they sat up straight again, staring at the field without blinking, "Could it be that Li Kaiming wants to create a miracle again at home?" ”
The fans at the scene wanted to see their home team turn the tables, and the commentators on the commentary bench were not a big deal to watch the excitement, only Doug Rivers on the Celtics bench did not want to see such a thing happen.
He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Bulls, so he shouted directly to the players on the court, "Wrap the bag to prevent the ball, and the rest can be prevented, and if you can't prevent it, let it go!" ”
In order not to overturn himself, Rivers actually planned to let superstars such as Garnett and Pierce put down their bodies to wrap up Li Kaiming to catch the ball, it seems that he had watched the video of the previous Bulls game.
And Garnett and the others actually did exactly what Rivers said, and they didn't have any other ideas, which shows that the military discipline of the Green Army is still very strict.
The Celtics used this defensive method, Li Kaiming had to pass the ball to other teammates, someone wrapped him, there will definitely be someone in the open position, so his pass also created some opportunities for his teammates, although his teammates felt average tonight, but after all, they are professional players, and if they shoot more, they will definitely be able to hit a few.
Under such a frenzied defense of the Celtics, Li Kaiming was stunned in the next few minutes and did not score a point, but because of passing the ball to his teammates, he got 3 assists.
The Celtics also paid for standby, and the Wizards chased the score to 3 points with 30 seconds left before the end of the game, and Sanders used the last timeout, ready to play this offense, as long as he can score this time, and finally hand the ball to him no matter where Li Kaiming is.
After two minutes of preparation on the bench, the Wizards sent the ball.
Li Kaiming served from outside the bounds because he was tall, had good vision, and had good passing skills.
Li Kaiming took the ball from the referee's hand, and then sent it to Xin Liqi who came out with the help of the cover, and then immediately rushed to the court, took the basketball from Xin Liqi's arms, and then dribbled directly to rush in!
The Wizards are 3 points behind, and if they want to win this game, this time the offense must be scored within 6 seconds, and then the defense will be on opposite sides, so that the initiative will return to the hands of the Wizards.
Therefore, this offense is bound to not be able to shoot three points, the Celtics will strictly guard against his three points, and if the three-point shooting is too fast and does not go in, the outcome of this game is equivalent to becoming this hammer deal.
Li Kaiming dribbled through the Celtics' outside defense, and Garnett and Davis on the inside had already surrounded him, Li Kaiming didn't care, and directly combined the ball to the basket in three steps, and made a pick-up with the ball in his right hand.
Based on Li Kaiming's muscle memory in training, this ball should be able to score, but just as his ball was about to be shot, Garnett, who pounced on him, slapped him directly on the arm.
How big is the power of the NbA inside line, Li Kaiming deeply understands, even if Garnett's strength is not strong in the inside line, he still heard a loud "pop" sound, and then there was a hot feeling on his arm, you don't need to look at it to know, it will definitely be swollen later!
However, the arm situation is secondary, because Garnett's palm directly destroyed Li Kaiming's layup, and the basketball slammed on the bottom edge of the rebound, and all this happened between lightning and flint, and everyone else looked like Garnett's pegboard hat directly smashed the Wizards' offense!
Li Kaiming was beaten by Garnett and lost his balance and fell to the camera area behind the rebound.
At the same time, Garnett, believing that his defense killed the game, stood under the rebounds and hammered his chest twice in front of tens of thousands of Wizards fans while letting out a roar!
The entire mcI center was silent, everyone thought that Garnett's defense ended the game, and for a while, no one booed Garnett......
