Chapter 324: The Critical Game
"Worship the Buddha is ......!"
In the broadcast room, Yoga exclaimed, causing the fans in front of the TV to be startled and hurriedly stared at it.
A power forward, on the NBA-level court, makes a Buddha worship.
It's not that the interior player's dribbling skills are necessarily terrible, you see Griffin today, he is famous for his beautiful dribbling skills.
In addition, many people should have seen the picture of Perkins breaking through the dribble frame on the training field, and there was also news that it was the red-headed big shooter Scala Bryan who was also a dribbling master and a breakthrough maniac on the field.
These details prove that on the NBA-level court, the players seem to have very different individual skills, and the outside players are skillful with dribbling and flashy skills, and the inside players seem to be rough and can't even hold the ball.
To be precise, this is not an illusion, but an illusion created by contrast. The two sides are both NBA-level basketball players in the world. The basic skills of the interior players are not bad, but in comparison with the outside players, they look clumsy.
In fact, it is not difficult to grab a random interior player in the NBA and let them dribble the frame and make some breakthrough moves. It's just that in the NBA, the defensive intensity is far beyond our imagination, and every careless move will be countered by the opponent's broken ball. So just because these interior players can't do dribbling doesn't mean they can't.
And Chen Mu, what does it mean to worship the Buddha just now? Does it just mean that the Chinese kid, as an inside player, can worship the Buddha?
Wrong.
Worship Buddha, Chen Mu is not unused, when facing slow interior players on the court, Chen Mu also used this trick to fight for space to shoot.
But this time, Chen Mu was Rondo.
Point guard, a natural master of defense, and a master of outside speed. The steal expert, Rajan Rondo, was given by Chen Mu with a breakthrough in the frame.
This goal is bound to enter the NBA's top ten balls of the year this year.
"Bang!"
Swift take-off, Chen Mu flew eagle in the sky, slammed the dunk fiercely, the North Shore Garden Arena fell silent instantly, all the fans widened their eyes, they couldn't believe what they saw, and even many people reached out to cover their mouths. It seems that as soon as you let go of your hand, you will scream involuntarily.
The Chinese kid, under the four-man bag of Rondo, Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen, shook the fastest Rondo with a Buddha worship and scored a violent deduction.
The most important thing is that after this dunk was successful, the 76ers once again stubbornly equalized the score.
There are only 30 seconds left in the game.
“TIMEOUT!!!”
Reeves couldn't sit still anymore and got up and gestured to the referee. Request a pause.
"Good Ball !!"
Turning around and panting, before Chen Mu could return to the bench, Iguodala and the others had already pounced excitedly, all of them squeezing Chen Mu's head fiercely. Laugh.
This dunk is really too exciting, or rather, in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Chen Mu's wave of outbursts. It's just too domineering.
In the last two minutes, excluding the 30 seconds that have not been played, a total of 90 seconds of game time. The 76ers scored 13 points.
Among them, 3 points came from Korver's three-point shooting, and the other 10 points came from the core of the team - Chen Mu.
Two shots, three dunks, Chen Mu's wave of explosion was fast, timely and unstoppable, especially the last ball, almost single-handedly killed the four Celtics players, although it is a bit exaggerated to say so, but the improvement of the team's morale is real.
"Next, defend!"
Finally suppressed the excitement in their hearts, Iguodala and the others returned to the bench with Chen Mu, Cheeks pointed to the tactical board, and the first sentence was to the point.
"Our defence has two objectives, the first goal, not to let them score. They can't use all 30 seconds, and by the time they're done, there should be another 5 to 10 seconds. If we can fend off their attacks, we have a chance to complete the lore! ”
"The second goal, if there's a problem with the defense and they have the potential to score, put two points and stick to the three."
What Cheeks said is the most basic tactical idea, and the players naturally understand that the key at this time is how to defend and who will defend it?
The Celtics have at least three of them with above-level key ball ability, and Garnett may not be so famous in this regard, but Pierce and Ray Allen are both well-known cold-blooded killers in the rivers and lakes. The 76ers are risky no matter who they focus their defense on.
"Lowry stares at Ray, Andre stares at Paul." Cheeks quickly gave an arrangement, and the two named players nodded heavily, and then Cheeks looked at Chen Mu and said, "In case they are shaken away, you can let go of KG and go up to make up for the defense." ”
"Yes!"
The players shouted in unison, and after the slogan, go on the field!
“CELTICS!”
On the other side, the Green Shirts also came on the field, and in terms of momentum, the Green Army, which is sitting at home and has three first-line stars, is obviously more explosive, full of confidence, and walked out of the bench with the cheers of the fans, all with serious expressions, as if they were fierce and vicious, and they looked very difficult to mess with.
"Stare, die!"
Cheeks' shouts were still ringing behind him, and the 76ers players were not afraid at all, all nodding their heads to meet the Celtics' offense.
Serve.
Rondo controlled the ball, and sure enough, he began to grind time at the top of the arc, and the rest of the time was a little tight if he played a two-for-one, that is, a quick offense to score a goal, let the 76ers attack once, and then leave the last opportunity to attack in his own hands. Cheeks didn't make a mistake in his judgment, and Celtic didn't choose such a risky approach, but were prepared to score a goal steadily.
The 24-second countdown passed quickly, but the players on the field felt as if they were living like years, and every second passed so slowly.
Rondo was unhurried in controlling the ball, and Korver, who had switched defenses, stared at the basketball stubbornly, and couldn't help but want to make a steal many times, but it was difficult to hold back.
With 10 seconds left on the offensive clock, Rondo kicks in.
Garnett stepped forward to block and dismantle high, and Rondo broke through directly!
"The Celtics saw through the 76ers' defensive strategy!"
In the broadcast room, Yoga chanted, and the Celtics saw through the 76ers' strategy to pinch the Big Three. And judging from today's scene, it has been seen through that the 76ers will change defenses and use Korver to defend Rondo, who is unstable in long shots.
Worst!
Chen Mu on the side was shocked when he saw this scene, and secretly screamed that it was not good.
To make up the defense, or not to make up the defense?
Korver's speed is not comparable to that of Rondo, and he has easily left Korver behind him in a single round of the screen, and he is already close to the basket, and he may throw a shot at any moment.
Strong side. Ray Allen and Pierce were around, Lowry and Iguodala didn't dare to come back to make up for the defense, and at critical moments, Rondo's layup shooting percentage was not necessarily much higher than the shooting percentage of these two masters. And with Rondo's view of the field, as soon as Iguodala moves them slightly, the pass will come in an instant.
76 people, no capital to risk.
I'm the only one who made up for ......!
Chen Mu took a step, and after a moment of hesitation, he had already made a decision:
Let go of Garnett and make up for Rondo!
Garnett's hand felt bad today. With Rondo's style of passing first, as long as he moves over, Rondo will definitely choose to pass.
Is it a bet on Rondo to miss a layup, or a bet on Garnett to miss a shot?
Chen Mu chose the latter.
Jump. Cover!
It's not sure whether Rondo will pass the ball, even if Chen Mu lures Rondo to pass the ball, the defensive action must be in place, and he stretches out one hand after a quick jump. Completely blocked Rondo's offensive line.
"Whoosh"
The basketball fell once and disappeared from Chen Mu's eyes.
Passing, Rondo really chose to pass!
"It's Garnett. Garnett is empty! ”
Yoga shouted, his voice almost hoarse with excitement.
On the weak side, Garnett received the ball, jumped, and the wolf's eyes were bloodshot, gritting his teeth and shooting.
Be sure to get into ......!
Garnett only had this last thought left in his heart, and throughout the game, his hand was only slightly better than Chen Mu's, and he was struggling all the time. Now the opportunity to kill the game is in his own hands, if he can't even grasp this, what kind of wolf king is he called?
Will definitely enter!
Just as Garnett was excited about the fluidity of his shot, an arm suddenly reached out behind him. The height and speed of this arm are completely inadequate, and you can't touch a basketball at all. But this arm is not aimed at basketball.
"Smack!" "Beep! ”
"Philadelphia No. 1, the hitter fouls, Celtics No. 5 makes two free throws!"
“NOOOOOOOOO!!!”
Garnett was on the verge of a breakdown.
Looking back behind him, Daim Porter gasped, and the arm that made the foul movement was still in the air, and it could be seen that even the foul was very reluctant.
The shot in the open space that was bound to be won was actually ruined by the opponent with a vicious foul, although he got two free throw opportunities, but Garnett himself knew very well that with his feeling today, free throws were not an easy task.
With a free throw shooting rate of more than 80% this season, when Garnett stood on the free throw line, fans suppressed their voices for fear of affecting the player's free throws, and waited quietly.
Shot, the basketball smashes on the basket.
“OH-NO!”
The fans roared dissatisfied, Garnett's own face was not good-looking, and the arm that was hit hard by Durham Porter is still hurting, and he missed the first free throw, which was somewhat affected by this.
With the second free throw, the Celtics could have taken a two-point lead, but now they only have one.
How much of a difference is a two-point and one-point lead for the 76ers? Many people have already thought of the mystery.
Cheeks shouted to stop, and the time of the lore had arrived. (To be continued......)
