With the Celtics' pause, the psychological game began again.

In Sam Vincent's view, the Celtics had to replace Glen Davis to open the attack, so he had already made up his mind to use this timeout to replace the Old Shark.

But in Rivers' view, this timeout is already the second-last opportunity for the two teams to adjust before the end of the game.

If the most correct adjustment is not made, there is no need to pause the adjustment for the last time.

Of course it's okay to replace Glen Davis to play an offensive wave. The problem is that the Bobcats have a high chance of switching back to the Sharks.

There may be no gap in the offensive end. If Glen Davis can no longer be replaced, the defense will be blown up.

Rivers hesitated and finally left Perkins behind.

So, with only the last 1 minute and 17 seconds left in the game, the two teams changed back to the main lineup.

Bobcats: Lao Shark, Hua Lao Er, Li Ke, Lao Du and Lao Ai.

Celtics: Perkins, kg, Pierce, Ray Allen and Eddie House.

"The Celtics didn't make a substitution? Then why did they pause?"

"Because they want to exchange Bobcats for Shaq..."

Barkley also couldn't understand Rivers' operations, and Rivers on the sidelines didn't think it was outrageous.

Because he used this wave of pauses to sprinkle chicken soup all over the floor:

"The game has reached the decisive moment. Have you seen this empty North Shore Garden Arena? Now it is the stage for Mr. Key. Maybe only one ball is needed to win the game!"

"One goal, win the game, and defend our home court to the death!"

“…”

So, the game restarted and the Celtics changed their form.

"Ray Allen, he broke through with the ball and was very determined, but after changing back to Shaq, the Bobcats' defensive formation was very neat and there was no chance..."

"Paul Pierce received the ball, faced Sheldon with her back, turned around and shot directly!"

Bang-!

"Not in!"

Just the next second, under the basket, kg jumped up...

There was another loud bang, and the kg hung on the basket.

"kg stepped forward and made a tip-in!"

"89 to 87, the Celtics lead by 2 points!"

Hua Lao Er raised his hand and said that the ball was his problem.

Li Ke's expression was serious. He took a look at the game time. The remaining 59 seconds were not yet the last moment of a goal, but-

"The Celtics are already fighting hard, and we have to fight hard!"

In the backcourt, Hua Lao Er handed the ball to Lao Ai, and then quickly advanced.

When he arrived at the frontcourt, Lao Ai stopped the ball, and his eyes patrolled every inch of space in the half. He saw Lao Du at 45° on the left, Hua Lao Er at the low post, and Lao Shark near the frame.

But what really made Lao Ai feel threatened was Li Ke from the bottom corner.

Slide the bottom line, Sheldon?

slip!

Looking at each other from a distance, Li Ke and Lao Ai seemed to have had some communication.

Then, Li Ke faced Pierce's defense and suddenly started. He seemed to have rushed to the middle of the arc top two steps, but finally turned around and turned back. Lao Ai's pass also started at this moment...

"Allen Iverson, he passed the ball, and the goal is the bottom line, Sheldon!"

Li Ke's bottom line has already started to rush forward. Even if Pierce reacted, he could not stop Li Ke from breaking through the wind and hanging straight on the basket!

Bang-!

"Sheldon equalized the score by catching the ball on the bottom line!"

At the last moment, no one would look at how each ball happened, but this ball was Pierce's mistake in the end.

Li Ke’s bottom line has been reduced since Lao Sha joined.

On the one hand, the status has declined, and on the other hand, the old shark has occupied a low position and there is insufficient space on the court.

In the playoffs, Li Ke's bottom line simply disappeared.

Until now, his bottom line caught Pierce off guard.

The score equalized, and in the last 42 seconds, Rivers suppressed the urge to call out a timeout, just stood on the sidelines and shouted without any concealment:

"Fast attack, control time!"

Obviously, the Celtics want to control the time and make sure they have the ball to the last attack.

Li Ke felt that he could not let the Celtics do what they wanted.

He then commanded on the spot: "Defend it out, press the whole audience!"

At that moment, Li Ke rushed to the frontcourt, followed by Lao Ai and Hua's second. Lao Ai was holding the gentleman thunder, and Hua's second was stuck in front of Pierce who was kicking off.

In the Celtics' backcourt, Eddie House was originally going to catch the ball, but when he saw Li Ke pushing behind him, he panicked and did not move.

The other side of the Gentleman Lei ran back and forth for a few steps, and with a back run, he received the ball with difficulty.

But then, he was pestered by Hua Lao Er who turned around and could only pass the ball back to Pierce.

Pierce received the ball, Li Ke directly pushed back, and Lao Ai knew how to make up for Eddie House.

The Celtics' backcourt became the main stage of this round. Li Ke pestered Pierce and used death entanglement.

"Sheldon entangled Pierce and took the steal, it was just a little bit short!"

"Pearce's possession and space are already very fast. He signaled to the referee that Sheldon had a foul, but the referee was indifferent."

"There's no way, he can only pass the ball."

But the Bobcats' time-consuming goal has been achieved. Gentleman Lei has difficulty receiving the ball. When he controls the ball for half the game, it will be less than 8 seconds.

In the backcourt, Pierce was even entangled with Li Ke.

On the sidelines, Rivers spread his hands in annoyance. It was impossible to have a quick attack, because 8 seconds had passed and there were only 34 seconds left.

Even if a rough attack is organized, the time is not enough for the Celtics to plan to take two attacks on this wave of offense.

In this case, it is better to play a slow attack and finish the ball slowly to ensure the score and ensure the lead.

Without much hesitation, Rivers called out the last timeout for the Celtics in this game.

"The Celtics' fast attack plan was shattered, so they had to pause. I have to say that Sheldon made great contributions..."

In the stands, Boss Qiao was extremely nervous.

He clenched his fists and secretly applauded Li Ke.

On the other side of the ocean, it was still live text. When the live broadcaster listened to the commentary of TNT TV, he played a line: Li Ke blocked the Celtics' fast attack and he made a contribution!

The barrage is crazy about it—

"Shen Ke is awesome!"

"Come on, Bobcat!"

"Fuck Green Kai!"

“…”

Change position and return to the court.

After pausing, Bobcat's bench, Sam Vincent held the tactical board in his hand, frowned, and his eyes were aimed at Li Ke from time to time.

Li Ke was silent, but in fact he was thinking about the trump card in his hand - the reward for that combination task!

"Although the emperor's nickname is very fragrant, the nickname 'Tyrant' is too difficult to be recognized. 'Huang Mamba', add another wave of last shot weight? Now it seems that it is very necessary!"

Sam Vincent couldn't get any advice from Li Ke, but he was not a mediocre person. Naturally, he knew what he needed to do at this time.

"People are on the target, Dai Quinn comes, replace Jared and Sheldon, your opponent is kg. As for Pierce and Gerald, he belongs to you. If Ray Allen's main attack, then pay attention to his assisted defense and attack, and Allen, stare at Eddie House to death, and never let him go..."

Everything is arranged in place, and the rest can only be handed over to the players on the court and God's will.

"The suspension is over and the game has started again."

Still pressing to defend, the Celtics struggled to drive the ball to Pierce.

Then, facing Hua Lao Er's defense, Pierce resolutely took a singles stand.

But everyone saw that Pierce was just a feint attack on this ball.

Li Ke, who was holding a kg, stared at Lei Arun at the bottom corner. The gentleman thunder in this position made him feel extremely threatening.

However, Dai Quinn Cook, who came on the bench, completed the task of catching people perfectly. No matter how Jun Zi Lei runs, he didn't give him a chance.

In this way, everyone's eyes focused on the middle lane. Pierce, who held the ball, forced the second to the middle distance.
