Chapter 564: I dare say he won't be able to make it
ps: It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass and a recommended ticket.
The clock can be extremely slow in the final minute of the game, especially when the score is deadlocked, but with Celtic already without a long timeout, things may be different.
After the timeout, the Clippers players didn't have to guess to know that the Celtics would definitely continue to break through.
The two brothers couldn't let go of their hands on the defensive end, and they have each carried five fouls on their backs, and if they get the slightest touch on a Celtics player when defending, Jarvi will definitely send them out. Without the two of them, the Clippers have little hope of winning this game.
At the beginning of the game, the two brothers did not stay in the penalty area, but ran out to interfere with the Celtics' serve.
Ji Guo's hatred is rampant in Mikey. In front of Moore, Ji Guoyi stepped on the three-point line and stared closely, ready to serve as the second line of defense and wait for the opportunity to break the ball.
The referee blew the whistle, and Ji Guoqiu immediately kept waving his arms to interfere with the opponent.
Mickey. Mo only felt that Ji Guoqiu and his long arms completely blocked his passing route, plus there was a fox brother behind him, and he couldn't find a passing target for a while.
Five seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and Jarvey didn't blow the whistle for the Celtics' service violation in the first place, but he couldn't delay much, and Rivers quickly used up the last 20-second timeout.
The morale of the Clippers players is boosted, and the Celtics now have no timeout+, and even if there is any unexpected situation in the last minute, they have no way to call a timeout, which is extremely beneficial to the Clippers.
Rivers took advantage of the 20-second timeout to quickly set up a catch-and-shoot strategy for his team.
If you can't even catch the ball for a while, there will be no suspense in this game. Especially the damage to morale. The Greens can't make up for it.
This time Garnett was in charge of the serve. The Wolves sent the basketball to Rondo, who ran back to the midfield, and the Celtics finally did not have the tragedy of not being able to even send the ball.
Rondo received the basketball and immediately cooperated with Garnett to block and dribble to the inside.
"I knew you were going to play like this."
Ji Guoyi followed Rondo closely, but the distance was very clear to prevent the referee from blowing him for a foul.
Rondo dribbled and broke through extremely fast, and Ji Guoyi didn't have to force the opponent physically to look at this little man, especially Garnett also followed. In such a situation, it is difficult for the two brothers to resist the combined impact of these two.
"The basketball is down again!"
Ji Guosha defended to the penalty area, but was still thrown away by Rondo, who had a short arm span and immediately raised his hand to make a layup......
Just as the basketball was shot, Rondo's ears suddenly sounded Ji Guoyi's voice, which was the last resort of the dead fox.
Whether Rondo's layup was affected or not even after the game was not certain for himself, but the ball really didn't go up in the end, and the basketball spun around the basket twice. In the end, it fell straight into the hands of Ji Guoqiu under the basket.
Billups received the basketball and took advantage of the moment when the Celtics player lost his mind. Immediately turn around and hurry down.
The Celtics players are still immersed in a state of disbelief at the moment, this ball Rondo has gotten rid of Ji Guosha's defense, but the final layup that is close at hand has not gone up, how is it possible?
Billups quickly dribbled the basketball to the frontcourt under the Celtics' unbelievable love, but did not attack the basket himself, and the Celtics also had a ray of his own. Aaron focused and returned to the defense in time. Billups realized that there were no opportunities for a fast-break layup, so he immediately changed his plan, stopped and stalled for time, and never took any risks at this time.
Ji Guoyi quickly followed up, and after receiving the basketball, he found that the Celtics were too slow, and while the opponent's foothold was not stable, the little fox hurriedly dribbled to the basket to kill.
Garnett desperately returned to the defense and stuck to the defense.
Ji Guoqiu followed from the other side, the two brothers performed an internal pass between the wolf king in the middle, Ji Guoyi threw the basketball into the sky, the basketball crossed Garnett, and the giant panda jumped up to catch the basketball in the air, and the basketball obediently fell into the basket.
"No, I should score this ball, I'm almost 60+, you give me back two points."
Ji Guoyi realized that something was wrong after passing the ball, he should give him the ball at this time, why did he pass the basketball out again just now?
"Consciousness is too low, winning is the first, don't keep thinking about brushing the number jΓΉ."
Ji Guoqiu smiled, but secretly thought in his heart: "30+10+10, the MVP didn't run now, right?" β
"Uncle Draft, you've already won the MVP once, so it's my turn this year."
"yes, it depends on how the judges choose."
The two of them are now thinking about the ownership of the MVP, and they seem to have forgotten that the game is not over at the moment. Allen turned his first three-point shot, and the difference between the two teams immediately returned to zero.
With 54 seconds left in the game, the score was 124:124.
Celtics fans were thrilled today, thinking several times that the team was hopeless, but the Big Three still stubbornly brought hope back.
The shouts of the Green Army fans scolding the Clippers resounded throughout the stadium at this moment, and the huge noise was about to tear over the roof, but these did not have much impact on the Clippers players on the court.
The Clippers attacked, Ji Guoqi received the basketball after half time, and the Celtics players did not dare to come up to wrap up, at this time the threat of Billups and Ji Guoqiu was no less than that of the dead fox, and even Crawford could make the Celtics hate, at this time they could only do their best to obey the fate of God, if Ji Guozhi couldn't throw the ball, they could win the game and throw it in, even if they were unlucky.
The most efficient player in the NBA, the shooting rate has reached about 50%, Jordan's career shooting rate barely exceeds 50%, Kobe Bryant is only 46%, Ji Guoyi has some attribute bonuses of interior players, so he surpasses Jordan in shooting percentage, but his ability to shoot key shots is not as good as Jordan or even Kobe.
Ji Guoyi saw that there was no bag, and immediately broke through Garnett outside the three-point line.
The wolf king defended his breakthrough, and Ji Guoyi had a chance to shoot a pull-up jump shot after disguise, and his 15-20-foot pull-up jump shot rate was 42%, which was high enough. However, in such an important offensive round, most players dare not choose the offensive method of "emergency stop shooting", which is not particularly efficient. They'll dribble to the inside. Look for ways to score bigger points.
Ji Guoyi would have made such a choice. Shooting from the inside is higher, and there is a certain chance of fouling, which is much more certain than long-range shooting. It's a pity that Ji Guoyi knew today that he suddenly went to the inside line to fight for a foul, and the chance of getting a free throw was basically zero, so he didn't hesitate at all. When you have the opportunity, you can shoot directly and never hesitate.
Garnett has no strength anymore, and he is completely relying on his willpower to support it, and this ball stretched out his hand desperately, sealing Ji Guosha's sight.
"Huh!"
Ji Guoyi's key ball is indeed not as good as other superstars, but he is in good shape today, so this goal is scored without suspense, and it is another hollow ball.
With a score of 126:124, Ji Guoyi scored his 56th point, and such scoring ability was about to break through the sky.
"I'm four points away from getting 60+. How the hell did you guys do it? Is there any difference between such a defense and air? You have to contribute, and if you are lazy, the champion will be gone. β
Ji Guozhi continued to make provocative remarks to provoke his opponents. As long as the defender is impatient, it will be easier for him to score, and this trick will not work.
Many boxers and sanda athletes like to provoke their opponents before a fight, and in high-level fights, any impact can change the outcome of the match.
The Clippers retreated to the inside on the defensive end, and they were betting that the Celtics would miss long-range shots, but Rondo, a bastard, actually threw the basketball in, and this big heart and pressure resistance are really not covered.
However, the Celtics took 18 seconds to attack this time, and with 11 seconds left in the game, the Clippers had a chance to beat the Celtics.
Dunleavy Sr. quickly called a timeout, and now the situation is extremely favorable to them, the score is 126-126, and their offense can be invincible as long as they drag their shots to the last few seconds and do not leave time for the Celtics to attack. Taking a step back, even if the final goal is not scored, everyone is terrific to play overtime, the Clippers still have a great advantage on the hull, and the Big Three will have to be tired if they play overtime.
"We've got the initiative in the game, now it's important not to make a mistake, we have a short timeout, if you can't serve the ball or get caught in the bag, don't hesitate to call a timeout immediately."
The elder Dunleavy is most worried about being cut off by the opponent, as long as the last offense is not broken, the most they can do is miss the shot and play overtime.
At the end of the timeout, Ji Guoqiu came to the sideline to serve the sideline ball, he was worried that the referee would continue to play them, and passed the basketball in less than three seconds, and Ji Guoqiu retreated to the midcourt to receive the basketball.
"It's a pity, it's still four points away, if this goal goes in, then I won't have a chance to get 60+."
"Wait, you slut, do you want to deliberately lose?"
Ji Guo scolded in his heart: "Phew! I'm not as shameless as you think, but if I can't make it, I can't help it, and you know that the probability of lore is low. β
Charles. Barkley suddenly said at this time: "I'll bet five cents with you, Fox will definitely not score, you all know the reason." β
Kenny. Smith laughed, "I don't bet with you, your thoughts are too dirty." β
"It's not dirty, if this game is played in overtime, there will definitely be a problem with the Celtics, the Clippers still have a big chance of winning, and Fox can still get 60+, do you know how many people in NBA history have scored 60+ in the playoffs?"
"Yes, of course I know, there have only been two times, the first in a single playoff game is Jordan's 63 points, the second is Bayless's 61 points, and Fox's 56 points are now the same as the record you set in 1994, and they are sixth."
Charles. Barkley nodded: "So you should know what 60+ means, if it were me in this environment, I would also choose to play overtime." Let's not say hypocritical words, you may have such a chance in your life, this fox today's appearance, I believe that even if his ability improves in the future, it will be difficult to play again. So the question is, with his character, do you think he would give up such a good opportunity? (To be continued......) R1292
