473 Speed of life and death
At the end of the first half, the Knicks were four points ahead of the Celtics, which is a more subtle score - because you can't get these four points back by relying on a ball, unless you can get a three plus one on the outside line... However, it's not easy to throw a three on the outside line. What's more, do you want to add one?
So, at this time, the Celtics have entered a relatively delicate situation. They now need to bet on all the power of their attention. The Knicks' toughness in this game is beyond their imagination.
The Celtics knew that the game would become more and more difficult if it continued to develop like this. Unwilling to lose, they immediately began to pay all their attention to the game after the start of the third quarter. The two teams began to fight with each other again and again, and the two teams just started in the second half. It fell into a kind of tough mutual crusade.
The Celtics' sudden tightening attack made the Knicks a little caught off guard in a short moment. Their front was hit by pieces. At this time, Ray Allen Pierce and others have also recovered their strength. They want to launch a counterattack against the Knicks and use the strongest defense. To limit this group of people.
The Celtics made several beautiful attacks. Four minutes after the start of the third quarter, they overtaken one point. In this situation, the Knicks are a little uncomfortable. They directly use such an attack to tear the defense line, and the Knicks are also a little unwilling. Zhang Chen didn't feel very good after the beginning of the third quarter. Fortunately, the ball right was still in Zhang Chen's hands at this time. He came outside the opponent's three-point line and stood in control. Lei Allenqing poured all his attention and blocked Zhang Chen in front of him. He followed Zhang Chen step by step to prevent him from suddenly. He ran past his side, but he couldn't prevent Zhang Chen more and more.
At this moment, Zhang Chen used an acceleration and passed him directly from Ray Allen's side. His legs stepped on the ground again and again with strong strength, and quickly came to the place near the free throw line. Then he almost dodged a person and then came to the place near the bottom line.
When Zhang Chen came to the bottom line, the Celtics had already come up to defend Zhang Chen. Because Zhang Chen's breakthrough route just broke from the right to the inside line, now they are blocking Zhang Chen's way forward from the right to the bottom of the basket. Therefore, Zhang Chen's strong physical fitness and individual combat ability are easy. He played on the ground. He stepped hard on the ground at the bottom line. His whole body soared into the air and directly bumped into a person. Then his body flew directly to another place in a direction parallel to the basket, ending the attack with a beautiful look back at the moon. The basketball entered the basket. Zhang Chen I also got two points.
The ball came to the Celtics, and at this time, the two sides began to attack again.
The two teams collided again and again, but the two teams continued the situation just now in the next game - once one team can surpass the other team's one or two points, the other team immediately regained the score, so there are still two minutes left in the game. At that time, the score of the two sides was 89:87, and the Knicks were one point behind. At this time, the ball was in the hands of the Knicks.
The whole game has entered a white-hot stage. The fans tried their best to roar at the court. In this game, they spent too much power of their voices, and now their voices are a little hoarse. At this time, they are indispensable in the game. They are now an important source of morale for the Celtics. There are only the last two minutes left, but the situation of the game between the two sides is a little confusing. At this time, no one can pat their chest and say that they will definitely win.
The Knicks players want to win. They have dedicated their most powerful strength in this game. Every attack is exhausted. Every defense uses their footsteps, their defensive lineup and that kind of defensive action to resist the opponent's attack.
The game situation of the two sides is like those soldiers who have hit the last bullet, bayonets, and then charge the opponent's defense again and again. They use all the weapons and strength given to them by God, just to defeat the other party as soon as possible.
However, whether it is the Celtics or the Knicks, they find it quite difficult to beat each other.The Celtics' eyes turned red, and everyone's gasping voice was like an old scalper who had experienced a heavy burden. A heavy gasp spewed out of their nostrils. Their blood-red eyes insisted on their own front, and the Knicks began to charge again and again at this time, but they were all Celtic. The people are blocked back.
In fact, the Celtics also know that they have fallen into a situation of the end of a strong crossbow. If they are suddenly attacked by the Knicks, they will fall directly on this battlefield, but the Knicks have not launched such an attack now, and they seem to be struggling. The twilight people are ordinary. They stare, but the breath in their throats has not been spit out for a long time.
However, this feeling of the end of the crossbow also gives them an indomitable morale, and everyone seems to be fighting with their own surname.
Most of the people in the Knicks are strong and physically strong, so they still have their own physical advantage in the face of the Celtics, but this physical advantage can't be converted into their score advantage.
Zhang Chen also performed well in this game. So far, he has scored a total of 25 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. This data is quite good, but he has no link to save the situation of the Knicks, because today's Celtics played fiercely, and these old guys have broken out. With their strongest power, people with faith in their hearts are the most difficult to deal with, so today's Celtics are also quite difficult to deal with.
Zhang Chen controlled the ball, stood one step away from the opponent's three-point line, and then began to command his players to circle around the inside line with his right hand and keep running. Suddenly, he saw Landorf and David Lee rushing into the deepest part of the inner line, and came to the bottom of the basket in an instant.
"It's now!" Zhang Chen waited for this opportunity. He suddenly threw his body and the basketball in his hand into the sky one step away from the three-point line. The basketball left Zhang Chen's hands and flew in the direction of the basket.
"At this time, I actually chose such an uncertain way to attack!" Many people sweated for Zhang Chen in their hearts, because at this time, if Zhang Chen couldn't hit it, he would not have any victory, and he would almost pass the victory to the Celtics.
However, in the moment of Zhang Chen's jump shot, everyone can see the self-confidence on Zhang Chen's face, as if they believe that a mouthful of water will be drunk into his throat!
"It should be in!" Some people changed the idea that Zhang Chen was a random shot just now, but looked at the route of the ball. At this time, they also found that the bottom of the basket had been basically occupied by the Knicks. Even if Zhang Chen's jump shot missed, most of the basketball would be snatched by the Knicks. The family was relieved at the same time - Zhang Chen turned out to have been carefully calculated.
After a period of flight, the basketball plunges directly into the basket! Zhang Chen, a direct jumper one step away from the big three-point line, Lei Allen, who just thought that Zhang Chen would pass or score after breaking through, was also a little stunned at this time, but it was too late, and there was only the high floating net in the distance.
"Wh!" The sound of basketball entering the basket completely shattered the balance that the two teams had been maintaining before. Pierce and others looked at the floating net flowers and had a feeling of being stunned, but now it was too late to say anything. Zhang Chen got three points and widened the score gap to two points!
"Guys, take this ball!" With the last minute and 42 seconds left, Rondo controlled the ball through the half, and then spoke to his teammates. Then the basketball passed to Pierce's hand. Pierce ran directly into the inside line with his strong body and skillful speed, and then used a throw to turn the score back into a draw.
"It's a pity..." Seeing that the score was just a draw, Pierce thought to himself that if Zhang Chen didn't hit the three-pointer just now, the situation should be that they have surpassed the score by one point now... But now, they are just equalizing the score.
The ball came to Zhang Chen's hand. There was still the last minute and 20 seconds left. Zhang Chen's possession of the ball came outside the half. At this time, he stopped again outside the three-point line. The Celtics had just suffered a loss, and now he did not dare to indulge him like this, so Pierce went forward to defend Zhang Chen. He and Ray Allen completed an emergency defense change at this time... In fact, Pierce felt that he was more suitable to defend Zhang Chen than Ray Allen.
"Are you going to guard against me?" Zhang Chen smiled at the corners of his mouth, and then passed the basketball to Du Hong. Looking at the smile at the corners of Zhang Chen's mouth, Pierce felt uncomfortable all over. Seeing Zhang Chen pass the basketball out, he quickly followed Zhang Chen, and when Zhang Chen's running ability was fully exerted, he could not keep up with Zhang Chen at all.
However, he has made up his mind to completely stay by Zhang Chen's side, so he quickly followed Zhang Chen. Although his gasp was like a bellows, although his body had issued a warning, he even felt that his lungs had turned into a mess of dirty flops - but he still did not retreat, nor Qualified to retreat! He directly followed Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen came to the place near the free throw line, and then turned his body to receive Du Hong's pass. Then he threw his body into the air, then turned his body into abruptly facing the basket, and then gently pushed the basketball out of his hand!
At this moment, Pierce, who suddenly followed, had no time to defend. He could only watch Zhang Chen's basketball fly directly into the basket. Zhang Chen fell from the sky, and his face was full of confidence.
At the critical moment of this kind of game, Zhang Chen always dares to play. He is also the best person to throw the key ball at the most critical moment of the Knicks.
Zhang Chen added two more points to his score. There were only the last 58 seconds left, and the game became more and more intense.
Pierce suddenly passed the basketball at half-time, and then with the help of the cover of his teammates, he suddenly rushed directly in the direction of the inside line. At this moment, Pierce seemed to be a fierce tiger out of the cage, and his whole body was killed directly to the inside line with a sharp wind! Then, in the cooperation of his teammates, he saw that he was ready to go straight to Huanglong in the direction of the inner line! If Pierce hits the ball and then the score is tied again, the situation will be quite delicate.
With the help of everyone's cover, Pierce came to the deep inside line. At this moment, someone came up to defend him, but with the help of his teammates, he easily entered the inside line and quickly came to the basket. At this moment, he also had a kind of excitement in his heart.
He was able to equalize the score again, and at this time, he was still the savior of the Celtics.
Then, with such excitement, he made his body jump very high. His right hand also rose in mid-air and came to a place at the same height as the basket. He dumped the basketball in the direction of the basket!
"I will definitely get in!" At this moment, he did not dare to doubt whether his basketball would enter the basket, which he took for granted. However, at this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly rushed in directly from the outside and jumped high above him!
At this moment, Zhang Chen was simply above Pierce. Within this second, Pierce also accidentally remembered the horror legend between the three people in the league and the basket. At this moment, Zhang Chen did not drag the basketball down from Pierce's hand at all. At the same time, he roared a rebound, so he was caught by David Lee, who was reflected next to him.
"Ah... - I buried the victory... I buried this season..." Pierce felt a spicy feeling in his nose for a moment, and he couldn't control his emotions for a while. This season almost completely turned into a bubble on this ball!
Zhang Chen's block has the historical demeanor of his block - there is no drag at all. Even if the referee wants to be critical, he can't find a place at all! The ball just now was the same. Zhang Chen reached the ball neatly and didn't touch Pierce's hand at all.
David Li grabbed the rebound and quickly threw it to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen hugged the basketball to deal with the opponent's possible steals. Sure enough, the opponent came up quickly, but Zhang Chen flexibly dodged their steals, and then controlled the ball halfway.
There are only the last 35 seconds left. Zhang Chen came outside the three-point line, and then he used all his strength to shake Xue Hong's eyes, Pierce, who was full of national hatred, directly away with his change of direction and some breakthrough skills! Zhang Chen's current breakthrough skills are basically close to unsolved. Pierce can't defend Zhang Chen at all. Zhang Chen shook off the helpless Pierce and quickly came to the inside. In order not to make any moths at such a critical moment, Zhang Chen patiently shook away the defensive players one by one. Then end the attack with a pick that is quite close to the basket.
In a while, a boo came out of the basketball court, and the Celtics fans began to despair. Now the Knicks have led by 4 points, and there are still the last 27 seconds left in the game. Four points are a very subtle score. One attack can't be chased back unless they can It's enough to play a 3+1, but it's quite difficult.
The Celtics called out a timeout, Pierce was a little dead, and on the bench, the coach gave the Celtics a foul.
Although the game is still far from the final dust on the Knicks' bench, the Knicks have completely seized the score advantage. The Celtics are close to the verge of survival. Each of them has a feeling that they are about to collapse, and at the same time suppresses all their negative emotions and negative emotions. In his physical condition, he put all his energy on the attack and defense of the Knicks.
After returning to the court, the Celtics relied on a two-pointer to recover the score of two points, and then began the foul tactics, but the Knicks were quite cunning. Even the foul took a little time, so with the last 14 seconds left in the game, the Celtics completed their foul, and finally The person who was fouled was Zhang Chen.
Standing on the free throw line, Zhang Chen took a deep breath. He can maintain his 94% free throw rate in the playoffs this season. At this most critical moment, he is not allowed to lose the chain at all.
Zhang Chen took a deep breath and then gently pushed the basketball out of his hand.
"Wh!"
"Wh!" Two free throws! Zhang Chen's score increased by two points. At the same time, the Celtics' score is getting tighter and tighter. Now they are four points behind, and now everything is quite difficult.
The ball returned to the Celtics. They quickly assisted Ray Allen, who jumped unreservedly outside the three-point line! There are still 8 seconds left, Ray Allen's jump shot! At this critical moment, his strength was reflected. After his three-point shot, the humble and quiet guy couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, with the last point left.
There are still 8 seconds left. After the pause, the Celtics immediately launched a foul tactic, but the target of this foul was Du Hong.
With 6 seconds left, Du Hong stood on the free throw line.
His free throw is quite critical - if he makes two free throws, the Celtics can at most drag the Knicks into an overtime game. If he makes a penalty or simply fails one free throw, the opponent will have the power to turn over again, and even with a three-pointer can achieve a reversal!
So, everyone held their breath and looked at Du Hong.
Du Hong has accepted a way of playing this season that he has never played before. He can live in victory every day. This feeling slowly gives him self-confidence, so even at this critical moment, he is full of self-confidence and then throws the first free throw.
"Bum!" The basketball hit the basket. The game became a little urgent. Zhang Chen went up and patted Du Hong's palm, indicating that he was fine.
