Chapter 574 Finals-like regular season

Garnett's free throw feel was really bad. Although his shooting was still as accurate and his back was still as sharp, he could not perform it. The Knicks made consecutive fouls, and the Celtics' offense encountered a crisis.

In more than 3 minutes, the Celtics relied on Jordan Crawford's layup to score two points, while the Knicks bombed the ball in a desperate situation. The Celtics players were so angry that they wanted to play foul tactics against Li Feng, but he made four consecutive free throws, and the Celtics were dissatisfied.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Knicks quickly expanded their lead to 5-44, and their lead reached double digits, which was fatal in this defensive battle. Rivers had to call a timeout and personally mention Garnett's favorite disciple.

Rivers' warning to Garnett is very simple, that is, to use his talents more and help his teammates score.

Garnett's offense is not only reflected in his personal good singles ability, but also in his role in the team's offensive system. He has strong support ability, high pick-and-roll quality, and good ball-shot vision. Although he is not as good as Chris Webber, he can organize the team's offense like a defender, but he is definitely more than enough to support the offense.

In addition, his pick-and-roll ability is particularly strong because he is fast, accurate mid-range shots, and has a great threat, so that Jordan Crawford and Rondo can fully utilize their breakthrough advantages.

Garnett is good at reading the opponent's defensive levels and can always find the most reasonable way to deal with the ball, so it is impossible to truly block players of his level.

As the score gets bigger and bigger, Garnett finally calmed down and did not confront the Knicks head-on. For other super insiders, such as Rashid Wallace or Nowitzki, such escape behaviors are absolutely unbearable, but Garnett doesn't care, he only cares about how to win the game

At the critical moment, the Celtics players were also very powerful. The Celtics' precise shooting caused chaos in the Knicks' defense line. Garnett seized the opportunity to attack the ring. The Knicks player had no time to foul for a while and he scored 5 points in a row. In this way, the Celtics' scoring efficiency improved and completed an attack climax of 13-3. They chased the score to 57-63 in one fell swoop.

But the Celtics have not narrowed the gap since then. When the Knicks saw that the Celtics had a counterattack, the players launched various crazy fouls against Garnett, which caused the Wolf King to dare not get the ball. As long as they got Monroe and Smith, they made consecutive fouls. In addition, Parsons, Kirirenko, Jones, and Harris were warming up on the bench. Their intentions were very clear. As long as their teammates were sent off for full fouls, they would go on the court and continue to foul the Wolf King.

Livingston signaled his teammates to stabilize their position and faced Jordan Crawford's defense without any mercy in the top arc of the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

However, the resilience of the Celtics is by no means comparable to that of the Knicks. Livingston's three-pointer aroused their resistance, and Rondo rushed into the basket and caused Li Feng to foul. He made two free throws to help the team keep a close eye on the score.

Then Livingston assisted JR Smith to break through and scored a layup. The Celtics looked for an opportunity to take revenge. Rondo found a gap again and rushed into the penalty area. This time he was blocked by Li Feng after taking off. The ball was directly captured in the frontcourt. Livingston seized the opportunity and made a fast break counterattack and got two valuable points.

Garnett deserves his honor as a top superstar in the league. The Celtics attacked again. The Knicks strengthened their defense. The ball circulated among the outside players several times, but no one could find an opportunity to attack. Garnett ran back and rushed out of the penalty area and then killed him. Jordan Crawford passed the ball in time. After Garnett got the ball, he cut and shot across the defense against Li Feng. This time, Monroe had no time to foul, and Li Feng had already carried four fouls and did not dare to stretch out his hand. He just watched the ball fall into the ring.

With less than thirty seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Knicks maintained a five-point lead with 71-66. Livingston decided to waste the opportunity to attack. He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and slowly dribbled the ball five or six meters away from the three-point line.

Li Feng came out from the inside of the three-point line to help Livingston pick-and-roll, while Garnett pushed Monroe away and stared at Li Feng with vigilance.

10,9,8,7…

Just as five seconds left, Livingston moved, he suddenly increased the frequency of the ball, and his strong body ran forward like a cannonball, then threw the ball towards the rebound.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, Garnett's heart sank and turned his head to look. Monroe was hanging on the ring majestic. Celtic fans sighed. After Li Feng left the penalty area, he attracted Garnett and Bass together. Livingston did not follow the ordinary path. He did not believe in his superstitious strength as the principle, and gave a wonderful assist.

This is the level of a super point guard!

The Knicks players couldn't help but slam the high fives to celebrate, while the Celtics were preparing for the final attack under Rondo's organization.

The Celtics performed the last attack, yes, the last attack is not the last attack in the third quarter, but the last attack in the entire game!

Before we knew it, the fans watching the game in the North Shore Garden Stadium suddenly found that a game had reached the last moment. It was already the 11th minute and 45 seconds of the fourth quarter, which means that the game was over in just 15 seconds.

The Knicks have the lead, and they led the Celtics with 94-93 only 1 point.

There are 15 seconds left, which is crucial to 15 seconds, and the Celtics scored a goal.

Rivers called out the timeout, and the old coach looked solemn as usual. Although the Celtics players were tired, they were still calm, surrounded Rivers and listened to the tactical arrangements.

These stars are full of awe and confidence for this famous coach. They believe that as long as they follow Rivers' arrangements, there will be no problem to score a goal.

Rivers also trusted these people under his command. He slowly scanned everyone around him. Everyone here was chosen by him to join the Celtics, and each one was worthy of his trust.

When the players gathered together, Rivers did not arrange the tactics directly. Instead, he said calmly in a low voice:

"Congratulations, guys, you guys have a chance to beat the regular season leaders!!"

Just one sentence, the Celtics' momentum suddenly increased. Even Garnett, who had always been calm, couldn't help but show excitement. Yes, the Knicks are very powerful, but they are still like other teams, just our stepping stones and their bravery. But the honor they show is even more dazzling.

All the fans stood up. Whether it was Celtics, Knicks, or neutral fans, they looked at the empty stadium nervously, and no one dared to blink. Because they knew that the next one might be the most exciting attack this season. No matter what the reason missed this opportunity, it would be enough to make them regret it for life.

The fourth quarter is amazing, the game between the two sides is really a collision between Mars!

Before the end of the third quarter, the Celtics had the last attack. At that time, Rivers also called a timeout, and the situation was exactly the same as this moment.

The attack on the Celtic sword was so exciting. Even though it was so nervous now, many people still savored it.

Rondo organized the offense. After getting the ball from the midfield, he turned around and rushed forward quickly. JR Smith followed him tightly like a candy. This time Rondo made another double-turn change, and there was also an emergency stop, just like what he did when he shook JR Smith.

But this time, JR Smith was not shaken away at all. He pressed tightly behind Rondo, so close that even though Rondo rushed into the penalty area, he still had no chance to take action.

But Rondo did not think about attacking. He suddenly passed the ball to Jordan Crawford, who was on the wing, after the penalty area. After Jordan Crawford got the ball, he was not greedy for me and threw the ball out directly. Then Garnett, who had helped Rondo cover the ball before and stayed outside the three-point line, got the ball.

After receiving the ball, Garnett stabilized his body slightly, and then jumped up to attack in Li Feng's horrified gaze - three-pointer!

No one expected Rivers to arrange the attack like this. When he saw Garnett jumping up at the three-point line with the ball, the screams of Barkley and Smith sounded at the same time in the tnt live room:

"Oh, shit, whoever dares to say that Taberdog is a paranoid must slap him. Damn Rivers is the madman!"

Before they could finish their words, the ball fell into the ring accurately.

73-70, Garnett's three-pointer made all Celtic fans crazy. At the last critical moment, they chased the score to only three points left!

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Celtics took advantage of this momentum to launch a further attack. First, Garnett's mid-range shot was sent into the final quarter with the game. Then Monroe's pass was intercepted by Rondo's quick hand. Then he passed the ball to Jordan Crawford for a fast break. Faced with Jordan Crawford, who was higher than himself, Jordan Crawford could only foul. Then Jordan Crawford made both free throws, and the Celtics scored 74-73 in one fell swoop, overtaking the score!

Livingston, a veteran with a big heart, became the Knicks' savior. He rushed into the Celtics' three-second zone twice in a row to score points, and the Knicks stabilized their position with 77-74. The scores of both sides were alternated, and the fans of the audience were very excited. Many people directly took out the quick-acting heart-saving pills prepared in advance. This kind of game was really exciting.

Then Taberdog called for a timeout. After returning, Li Feng played at the basket and scored two more points. At the critical moment, Rondo took an offensive foul. He was still a little tender when facing Livingston.

What even more panicked the Celtics fans was that in the subsequent defense, the Celtics lost the rebound again, Li Feng grabbed the offensive rebound, and completed the feat of 2+1 under Garnett's tearing.

Soon the Celtics stabilized their position, Jordan Crawford scored two points from the chaos, Jeff Green passed the ball to assist Cootney Lee to break through and layup, and the Celtics bit the score with 81-86.

Faced with the Celtics' counterattack, Li Feng resolutely fought back in the inside. He made a foul by the Celtics again and suppressed the Celtics' momentum with both free throws. However, Garnett immediately used a hook to offset Li Feng's free throw with the basket, and turned around and Li Feng played a match with the ball and passed the ball under the basket, and the latter dunked it with the ball.

Garnett was not willing to be outdone. He turned around and faced Li Feng for a breakthrough. He was a seven-foot-long man who turned around and broke through like a guard and changed hands and changed directions in the middle. He successfully threw away Li Feng and scored a layup. The game became a contest between two super insiders, and the score was still rising alternately. None of the team's leading advantage had ever scored five points!

The turn of things came from behind. Li Feng blocked Cootney-Li's shot, Livingston passed the ball to assist JR Smith to layup, and the Knicks re-controlled the situation with 92-87. This was the first time in the entire fourth quarter that the team had a lead of five points, which shows how fierce the war was.

But then, Jeff Green and Jordan Crawford made three-pointers one after another, overtaking the score. At this time, there were only 37 seconds left before the end of the game. The Knicks passed the ball patiently and handed the last attack to Livingston, and the latter did not disappoint. With only two seconds left in the offensive time, he suddenly picked up a basket in the penalty area and scored. In this way, all that was left was the current situation. There were 15 seconds left. The Knicks led the opponent 94-93.

With a whistle, the last attack began. The players on both sides stepped onto the court with a solemn expression. Garnett, Jasonterey, Pierce, Jeff Green, and Rondo, five players with big hearts stood at the halftime. The five of them joined forces to represent the strongest offensive strength of the Celtics.

Opposite them, Li Feng, Cousins, Kirilenko, Monroe, Livingston, and the five of them are the Knicks' strongest defensive lineup. There is no doubt that this will be a collision between spears and shields. Whether the Celtics' spear is sharper or the Knicks' shield is tougher, everything will be revealed in fifteen seconds.

But this is a bit ironic because their style is exactly the opposite. The Knicks are good at offense and the Celtics are good at defense. If the offense and defense are changed this time, let the Knicks attack and let the Celtics defend, fans believe that the game will be more exciting.

But, aren’t there always a lot of impermanence in life? Isn’t life exciting because of so many incredible things?

Garnett serves, Paul Pierce, Rondo and Jeff Green, three of them shot three arrows at the same time, rushed toward the three-point line from left, right and middle three routes. They were only one point behind and did not need a three-point tactic!

Terry received a pass from Garnett, and then he handed the ball to Rondo with an accurate long pass.

"Quick! Block! Block!"

Livingston roared hoarsely, the game was about to reach the last moment, and the bayonet was about to be red. While he was calling his teammates to return to defense quickly, he chased Rondo tightly. Monroe even kept a close watch on Garnett. As long as Garnett dared to touch the ball, he would dare to foul!

Physical strength has never been Rondo's strength. He only rested for two minutes in this game. Now he is almost exhausted and heart failure. However, when he got the ball, he still plucked up his energy and immediately became energetic. He held the ball and attacked the Knicks inside the inside, just like a sharp knife attacking the human body.

The ball jumped quickly under Rondo's control. He received the ball, dribbled the ball, accelerated, and completed three moves in one go. In a few steps, he stepped into the penalty area.

Jeff Green slowed down on the left, walked slanted, his steps were like fox steps, and he echoed Rondo in a distance, and he set off his posture and was always ready to respond to Rondo.

Paul Pierce on the right also slowed down, but unlike the strategy Jeff Green adopted, he followed Rondo immediately. After his teammate stepped into the penalty area, he suddenly accelerated and ran to the right corner separately from Rondo, as sharp as his breakthrough!

Paul Pierce used his extraordinary flexibility, but kept changing directions while running, like a king-scopter attacking, with a treacherous whereabouts, sharp eyes, and murderous aura!

Seeing this, Li Feng, who was sitting at the basket, frowned. The three of them were so powerful. One was the main attacker, one was preparing to make a tick or even make a dunk behind him, while the other was looking for a gap to respond, ready to be the third attack point at any time.

In the eyes of fans, Paul Pierce is very false because he is running backwards and is getting farther and farther away from the ring. However, Li Feng knew that with Paul Pierce's strength, once he runs out of the open position and gets the ball, then under no defense, no matter how far or near the basket, he has a way to throw the ball into the ring!

But at this time, the most terrifying thing in the Celtics lineup was not Rondo, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, but Terry who kept wandering around the outside.

Rondo, who had already reached the penalty area with the ball, ignored Paul Pierce and Jeff Green behind him, and did not look at the cold-blooded killer Terry. He stepped into the three-second zone and shouted loudly, and started with a close-up. Without hesitation, he decisively chose to make a layup by himself.

"Get down!"

Livingston, who had been following closely behind, shouted violently, like a harrier flew up. He stepped on the floor and flew up with his feet and chased after him with force. At the same time, he raised his arms high, and his big hands blocked Rondo's head like a dark cloud. Obviously, if Rondo dared to take action, he would have to be blocked!

Rondo, who had already started to jump, was not nervous. He just smiled slightly, his expression was relaxed and free-spirited - although Livingston was behind him and his size was one inch away from him, he didn't care, because his original intention was not to really attack the ring!

At the same time, Taberdog stood up anxiously on the bench, and the old handsome shouted:

"He will never make a layup, give me defense, there are still ten damn seconds left!"

As soon as the old coach's voice rang, Rondo immediately jumped, and then he twisted his body in mid-air, found the direction of the middle to reach out to pass the ball.
Chapter completed!
