Chapter 102 Next
Time is advancing little by little. In a blink of an eye, time comes to the last minute of the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers are still leading. At this time, the Cavaliers are four points ahead of the other side, and the next ball is on the Celtic side. There is still one minute left for four minutes, the ball is still the other side, and the suspense of the game is also very big.
Now whether it is a Celtics player or a Cavaliers player, or a fan or head coach of both teams. In short, everyone was nervous at this moment. Although the victory of this game was only the first game in the whole series, no one wanted to lose. Every player wants to win the game and get off to a good start.
Rondo circled out to catch the ball, and then passed the ball directly from his hand to Pierce on the outside line. Obviously, at the critical moment, we must pass the ball to the team's boss for this critical attack. Everyone knows how important the next attack is, once it doesn't hit. Then this game is completely passive, and it may lose the game, so the ball must be handed over to the person who holds it the most.
And Pierce is undoubtedly the best choice. As soon as Pierce received the ball, James posted it. Pierce had to hit the ball anyway, and James had to defend it anyway. The two met at this moment. This kind of match is what all fans want to see, because such a match is the best match and the most critical match in their eyes, which depends on who can win the opponent.
Pierce dribbled outside the three-point line. James was only a small step away from Pierce. Then Pierce leaned directly on it. James was also close to him, and the time was reduced little by little between the small movements of the two. When there were still ten seconds left, Pierce whispered almost, and then Pierce started, first pulling back a step, then an acceleration, and then another fake move.
"Do you want to lie to me? Who doesn't know that your Pierce's fake actions in this regard are very true? Besides, this is a two-pointer. Since you want a two-pointer, I will look at you, whether you are fake or not. James looked at Pierce's series of movements and said in his heart. He can't let Pierce throw a three-pointer, but a two-pointer is still okay. Although it's still early, two points is better than three points, right?
If he jumps and is hit by the other side with a two plus one, it will be a tragedy, so James chose a smart way to watch the opponent shoot. Of course, it can't be to watch the opponent's shooting, but to raise his hands high. Interfere with Pierce's shooting in front of him.
There was not much time left. Pierce naturally knew that he had no choice but to treat James. Then he had to reluctantly take action. If he didn't take action, it was an offensive violation. When the sound of the iron came from afar, the medium-range jump shot did not hit, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Celtics. The rebound was taken by Asik again, who completed the task assigned to him by the team today. Protect the basket. It's under.
Asik has scored 15 rebounds so far. In addition to rebounds, Asik has also scored seven points and three blocks. Asik's performance in this game was undoubtedly eye-catching. At the critical moment, he did not make mistakes or anything because he was a rookie. This surprised everyone. You know, in the first round of the playoffs this year, the Cavaliers were worried about his mental quality, so they let him play as a substitute in the first round of the playoffs.
And this game is not the first round, but the Eastern Conference Final. And it was the first Eastern Conference finals in his career, and Asik's performance was eye-catching. And this rebound is worth a lot of money. It was in the middle of Perkins and Garnett who successfully grabbed the rebound. After grabbing this rebound, the whole game is only 40 seconds. The last 40 seconds.
At the moment when Asik grabbed the rebound, Garnett came forward with the foul tactic. This is undoubtedly the best choice. If you let Asik hand the ball over to Huang Jun's hand and then foul it, it is equivalent to giving points. Whether in the regular season or the playoffs, Huang Jun has always maintained a 100% shooting rate in terms of free throws. Such a horrible free throw undoubtedly makes everyone understand that letting Huang Jun go to the free throw line is equivalent to steadily sending points to the Cavaliers.
So Garnett's foul this time is the wisest choice, but it's a pity that the team's number of fouls has not yet arrived, and Asik can't go to the free throw line. This almost defeated Garnett. This season, Asik's serve only has a shooting rate of more than 60%. But now the referee tells him that the number of fouls has not arrived yet, so that he can not be defeated? In this way, it is equivalent to a new serve, and this pass will definitely be passed to Huang Jun's hand.
As expected, the Cavaliers passed the ball to Huang Jun as Garnett expected. In this case, the Celtics wisely and rationally chose not to foul, but to wait until the attack was over. Now there are still 40 seconds left in time. As long as they complete a perfect defense this time, they will hit a goal next, and then go to the foul tactics. It's just that all this is very passive of the Celtics.
Huang Jun held the ball to the half. Seeing that no one came up for a foul, he understood the opponent's intention, but Huang Jun was not in a hurry to attack. But it is a very smart choice to consume time. The initiative is completely on the side of the knight, and the time is also decreasing little by little, and the Celtics are also the most lacking in time now, so Huang Jun has to deal with this attack at the last second. Even if the last 24 seconds are violated, there is nothing.
And everyone had a tacit understanding and chose to let Huang Jun play this attack alone. No one dares to come up to pick up Huang Jun. Rundo defends Huang Jun's attack alone. It is difficult to win or lose the match between the two in this game. However, in detail, Huang Jun is slightly better, because it is not the Celtics but the Cavaliers in the game, which is enough to explain many problems.
Ten, nine, eight... The fans at the scene silently counted the remaining time of the attack in their hearts, and Huang Jun also counted in their hearts. Just when the number reached six seconds, Huang Jun started. With a sudden body rushing forward, Roldo thought that Huang Jun was going to break through this time, and quickly took a step back. However, it was this step that opened the distance between Huang Jun and Rundo. Huang Jun just moved forward with his body and no movement on his feet.
"Go and play basketball." Huang Jun said in his heart, and at the same time, he pulled it out directly in place and threw the basketball in his hand directly.
"Draw three points in place?" When Pierce and his teammates and all the Celtic players saw this scene, an idea came to their minds in an instant. Then everyone turned their eyes to the basketball in the air, looking forward to this three-pointer, don't hit and the knights are looking forward to this three-pointer. Everyone has their own ideas at this moment, but who will God care for? The final result will come out in the next second.
"brush" three points ruthlessly got into the net, followed by the cheers of the fans. At the same time, it was also the time when the Celtics called for a timeout. There was a seven-point difference, and there was no suspense in the game. Unless there will be a miracle in the last ten seconds, the victory of this game must belong to the knight. Huang Jun's three-pointer is so important that everyone didn't expect that the ball would hit in the end.
......
A few days later, the same result happened again. Huang Jun hit a key three-pointer again at the last moment, which was only two points ahead, but with this three-point hit, the gap was pulled to five points in an instant. At the same time, the time of the game is only five seconds. The final victory of this game belongs to the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers won the first two home games, and the score difference was not very big.
The Cavaliers embarked on an away journey with a total score of 2-0, and the Celtics are already on the line. If the next game is lost again, the initiative of the whole series will completely fall into the hands of the Cavaliers. If the Celtics want to win back the four cities in a row, it can only be said to be a miracle.
With the victory of these two games, the Cavaliers' players were very relaxed, especially James felt a special relief. I haven't played Celtics like this for a long time, and he also believes that this year's championship opportunity is the latest one in so many years. So sitting on the plane to the away game, James always had a faint smile on his face. However, in spite of this, he had no intention of underestimizing the enemy, and he still had to organize the Celtics to fight back.
He still remembers that in 2006, the Mavericks were finally reversed by the Heat at 2 to 0. So James didn't dare to have such a contempt for the enemy. He will play this game as the last game of the cost series. Not only James, but also Iverson had a faint smile on his face. It hasn't been like this for many years.
Huang Jun is also very happy. Whether it is the team's players, the team's fans or the team's head coach, they are very happy at this moment, because they know the dream in their hearts and are one step closer to them. Brown on the plane looked at Huang Jun with a smile. The biggest contributor to these two stations was not James, but Huang Jun.
If it weren't for the key three points at the last minute, the result of the game would be uncertain.
