From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 258 The Moment of Suffocation

The game came to the last 5 minutes of the game. At this time, the score reached 115 to 110, and the Celtics were still behind.

The Warriors have always had the initiative on the court, and they have maintained their advantage until now. The Celtics played very hard throughout the game, and the fans at the North Shore Garden Arena did not even dare to breathe.

The Warriors showed terrifying strength tonight. Every time Jianghu tried to take over the game, someone was always able to stand up and respond, which also made the game enter the stalemate rhythm they are best at.

But the good thing is that although the Warriors have always had an advantage, they can't open up the score without playing a good game.

"Hey kid, we're going to win tonight and no one can help you."

"Wait to eat my ass!!"

Green is shouting at the world, and his voice is very loud. The Warriors have mostly lost in the past few games, so Green's mouth is relatively quiet.

Today was different. Green saw the hope of winning and could no longer control his urge to force Lai Lai.

However, Jianghu did not confront Green. Instead, he dribbled the ball in a quick change of direction and broke through to Green's right side.

Green wanted to keep up with Jianghu, but his steps were too heavy and his speed couldn't keep up. Jianghu broke through and Thompson came to help defend. Jianghu changed direction and rushed to Thompson's left side without slowing down.

It didn't matter that he didn't completely pass Thompson. Jianghu directly resisted Thompson's defense and made a layup. Thompson's defense did not put much pressure on Jianghu. Jianghu successfully hit the ball on the board during the confrontation.

Warriors 115-112 Celtics.

This offense seems like Jiang Hu has not completely gotten rid of the defense, but this is the way Jiang Hu is used to attacking. He has already rushed with the ball. If the Warriors' defense is not in the right position, they will not be able to guard him.

"Idiot, you are just like a dull puppet."

When Jiang Hu passed by Green, he directly taunted him and even pretended to inadvertently bump away from Green who was blocking the way.

"Fake!"

Green has a very explosive temper and wants to cause trouble directly.

Jianghu will not give in.

Smart quickly came over to separate the two and look at Green, while Jaylen Brown quickly ran over to hug Jiang Hu.

"Beep beep!!"

The referee signaled the two to separate. Players from the two teams persuaded the two to leave. The fans at the scene booed. The fans believed that Green should be given a technical foul. The referee did not say anything and warned the two not to continue the conflict.

After the game was suspended for about 1 minute, the Warriors' offense came again.

Curry calmly dribbled the ball forward, while Green and Jiang Hu were still competing. Of course, both of them were controlling the scale to avoid unnecessary fouls.

Curry looked at Green and felt that he couldn't organize it, so he organized it himself. Curry chose to give the ball to Durant at the right free throw line.

Durant faced Jaylen Brown's defense. After continuous feints left and right, he took a step and made a lateral jump shot. Jaylen Brown correctly judged the rhythm of Durant's shot, but Durant's shot point was too high, and Jaylen Brown Brown's jumping can no longer keep up with Durant's height.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc.

"Shh!"

An arrow pierced the heart, the Warriors 117 to 112.

After scoring the goal, Durant remained expressionless and even spread his hands helplessly.

"Fake!"

Jaylen Brown cursed dejectedly. He worked very hard to defend this ball, but he just couldn't prevent it. After all his hard work, the gap in talent level is enough to make people feel desperate.

Celtics offense, Jianghu dribbles to the frontcourt.

Irving understands in his heart that the game has now reached a critical moment and the Celtics cannot make any more mistakes. As long as any mistakes are made, the game may be lost.

In the second half, Irving's shooting percentage was only about 35%. Rather than attacking with the ball, Irving was still more willing to give the ball to Jianghu.

Jianghu held the ball high on the right side, facing Green's defense.

"Hit him!"

"Score!!"

"attack!!"

"Blast him!"

The fans at the scene continued to cheer Jianghu, and Jianghu made a test move in the face of Green's defense.

Green's center of gravity was not shifted. Jiang Hu feinted a shot to the right, then accelerated and sprinted from the left. Green judged the direction of Jiang Hu's attack, and he immediately used his body to block Jiang Hu's attack.

It's just that Jianghu has already exerted his strength, and there is no possibility of him changing his offensive method.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The two engaged in continuous physical confrontation below the free throw line. Green was knocked over by Jiang Hu. However, the referee did not blow the whistle for this ball. Jiang Hu directly joined the ball and jumped to the inside. He took off with both feet and jumped across Yi. Godara smashed the button with both hands.

"frame!!"

Iguodala's defense did not interfere much with Jianghu.

Warriors 117-114 Celtics.

The scores between the two teams continued to be tight, and the game entered a fierce stage.

The Warriors' offense continues.

After Curry brought the ball across half court, he began to press time. With 10 seconds left in the attack time, Green put up a pick-and-roll to block Irving's defense. Curry dribbled the ball sideways, and Jianghu quickly filled Irving's gap.

Jianghu didn't dare to let Curry go. Curry's three-pointer was too accurate.

Horford inside was struggling with Rooney, and it was naturally impossible for the Warriors to give the ball to Rooney at the last moment.

Curry quickly stopped the ball in front of Jiang Hu and then changed direction. He successfully got under Jiang Hu's armpit. Although Jiang Hu was not thrown away, Rooney pushed Horford away and helped Curry block the offensive space. The basket was empty. .

Curry collected the ball and stepped forward. He pulled a lever to avoid Jiang Hu's block, but Curry's actions were within Jiang Hu's prediction, at the moment Curry took action.

"boom!"

Jiang Hu flew up and blocked Curry's sure-fire layup.

"Boom!!!"

The attack time also arrived as the basketball fell out of bounds, and the Celtics' defense was successful.

Fans at North Shore Garden cheered loudly.

“Fake, Jiang, that’s great!!!”

"Nice shot."

"This goal is so crucial."

The fans shouted.

Jiang Hu also waved his fist fiercely at the camera, and the fans at the scene became louder and shouted in unison: "MVP!!"

Curry chewed on his braces and held his knees with both hands. He tried his best to shoot the ball, but it was still too slow and could not avoid the defensive coverage of Jianghu.

On the Celtics' sideline ball, Irving wanted Stevens to stop the game, but Jianghu directly signaled not to do so. Jaylen Brown sent the ball to Jianghu, and Jianghu directly took over the ball.

Jianghu dribbled the ball past halftime, with Green on defense and Iguodala on assist defense. The Celtics were still behind in the score, so Jianghu did not press time and chose to lead Green to the inside.

Rooney flanked Jiang Hu from the right, and Jiang Hu turned around to the left to combine the ball and hit the basket directly. Before Green and Rooney could block the shot, Jiang Hu flew across the frame and placed the basket.

Warriors 117-116 Celtics.

This goal was crisp and fast. In order to score the goal, Jiang Hu lost his balance and fell to the ground. The referee also blew the whistle immediately, and there was an additional penalty for scoring.

Jianghu walked to the free throw line, calmed his breathing, and then made the free throw. Cole saw that Jianghu tied the score and could only stop the game.After hearing the pause whistle, Jiang Hu roared angrily.

Continuous key goals finally tied the score, which relieved Jianghu's pressure. Smart came over to celebrate with Jianghu passionately.

"Great job!" Owen shouted.

Irving now understands why he was so popular with the Celtics when he first came to Jianghu. He is indeed reliable at critical moments.

The Warriors suppressed the Celtics for almost the entire game, but now that they tied the score, they vented their frustration.

Stevens was also excited on the sidelines. There is a completely different difference between being tied and falling behind at the last moment.

There are only the last 3 minutes of regular time left in this game.Playing key balls is the Celtics' advantage, as long as the ball is given to Jianghu.

Zhang Weiping said: "With four consecutive points and a key block, Jianghu still continues his dominance at critical moments."

Yu Jia said: "The Warriors have never done a good job in defending Jianghu. They have tried their best on the defensive end, but they just can't defend."

Zhang Weiping said: "Jianghu played too hard. This goal also shows why he was able to perform like this in his first season. He played really desperately."

Yu Jia nodded and said: "The Warriors performed very well tonight, but they could not easily win the game. Jianghu played a key role in it."

During the timeout, the fans at North Shore Garden continued to cheer.

"Stephen, press every round to the end and don't give them too much time to attack."

"Cover, the big man needs to actively go up and cover."

"Stephen, you don't have to finish it yourself, just distribute the ball when you have the chance."

"Kevin, if you have the chance, don't hesitate, be decisive, and so is Clay!!"

"We have to focus on scoring points, whether it's two points or three points."

The scene was very noisy, and Cole was shouting and arranging tactics.

Cole has a headache about the Warriors' offensive options at critical moments. The Warriors don't have many options at the last moment. Curry is not talented enough, Green and Thompson lack the ability to attack independently, and there is no need to count on Rooney.

The only one who is most trustworthy is Durant, but Cole is afraid that other Warriors will not pass the ball to him. Cole hopes that the team has an end point like Jianghu, which will make the tactical arrangement at critical moments very simple. Just create opportunities for him and open up singles.

"it is good!"

Curry feels the pressure.

It will be much more difficult to score in the final moments of the game than usual. Curry chewed on his braces to relieve the pressure. The Warriors have reached a point where they cannot afford to lose.

If they lose this game again, their season will be over. This is difficult to accept for the Warriors who have regarded the championship as their goal all season.

No matter how confident Curry is in himself, he can't lead the team to a 5-4 comeback if he loses this game, right?
Pause time is over soon.

"defense!"

"defense!"

"defense!"

The fans at the North Shore Garden shouted loudly for defense, and the momentum was so loud that it almost shook the earth. Even Yao Ming was shouting along with the fans, and he was extremely involved.

Celtics fans want to put as much pressure on the Warriors as possible to cause problems in their offense.

Green served the ball to Curry from the sidelines.

Smart has been putting pressure on Curry. He raises his hand to continue to interfere. Curry keeps changing the direction of dribbling. He is also a little tired. Green puts up the screen. Jianghu once again fills the position and uses his long arms to secure the ball. Firmly controlled Curry's shooting angle.

Jaylen Brown next to him also rushed past Curry. When Jianghu saw his teammate's attack, he simply swatted it together. However, Curry dodged the ball very quickly and protected the ball.

Jaylen Brown's hand was empty, but Jiang Hu's hand accidentally hit Curry's hand.

"Beep!"

The referee called a foul. Fortunately, the number of fouls committed by the team has not yet reached the limit, so Curry does not have to stand on the free throw line.

The fans at the scene also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Weiping said: "Jiang Hu's steal was almost missed. The two of them defended together and still couldn't cut it off. Curry is still very experienced. If it was an ordinary defender, Jiang Hu would steal the ball."

Yu Jia said with some worry: "But it is worth noting that I have committed 5 fouls now, but it is the final time of the game, so it doesn't matter."

When the ball resumed, Curry dribbled continuously and failed to break through Jianghu's defense. He had to pass the ball to Durant on the right. After Durant received the ball, he took a step and forced himself to face Jaylen again. Brown's defensive floater costs two points.

This ball is too difficult.

Durant's shot was interfered with.

"frame!"

The basketball bounced heavily on the rim.

Jianghu jumped up to protect the rebound, but the basketball bounced on the rim again, changing the rhythm. Jianghu was too late. Iguodala rushed in from the outside and tapped the basketball with one hand, and the basketball fell in.

Warriors 119 to 117, with 2 minutes left in the game.

The Celtics' defensive rebounds were not protected, and Jianghu raised his hands to indicate that it was his problem.

Jianghu himself was also very sorry. The Warriors were so lucky with this ball that the basketball actually bounced on the rim twice, which prevented him from grabbing the rebound. This time it was the Celtics' turn to stop the game.

The celebrations of Curry and Iguodala allowed the entire Warriors team to see the dawn of victory.

The camera was focused on Iguodala, and no one expected the veteran to rush out.

"Iguodala's shot was so crucial."

"The pressure is on Celtic."

"Luck is on the Warriors' side."

"The basketball bounced a little more, otherwise the backboard would have been protected by Jianghu."

"Pity."

"Don't worry, we still have the last two minutes."

Fans are discussing this goal on the Internet.

Jiang Hu's eyes on the sidelines were very calm. Iguodala's tip-in was indeed exciting enough. The audience was happy to see such a goal, but as his opponent, Jiang Hu was not willing to see such a goal.

Jianghu still maintains its desire to win the game. After all, victory means the championship. Who doesn't like the championship?

period of suspension.

Cole is still emphasizing the defense of Jianghu to the entire Warriors team.

Jiang Hu's personal offense in this game was not as smooth as in the previous two games. The main reason was that almost every Warriors player was physically confronting Jiang Hu, which made Jiang Hu's muscles tense for almost the entire game. Then on the defensive end, he had to Using all his strength, Jianghu's physical energy consumption became very large.

"Jiang, in the next moment you hold the ball and look for a two-point opportunity as soon as possible. You can launch an attack from the left. If there is a chance inside, you will decisively break through him. If there is no chance, then look for a three-pointer from the outside. "

"Al, you have to take cover."

Stevens is emphasizing offensive tactics.

"Don't give Stephen a chance. Remember, even if you double-team him and let others go, you can't give him an easy three-pointer. Do you understand?"

Stevens is not afraid of playing critical moments with the Warriors. He feels that the advantage of playing critical moments will be on Jianghu's side. The level of conflict between Green and Durant in the last game will never be resolved by one side after the game is over, so Stevens would rather double-team Curry. He wanted to see what Green would choose this time if the same situation happened again. ?
"OK!"

"no problem."

The entire Celtics team is responding.

Everyone put their hands together to cheer!
"Must win!!" (End of this chapter)
