From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 259 The Moment of Suffocation

Pause back.

Players from both teams stepped onto the court again.

"Come on, the championship is right in front of you!"

"Boston must win, the Green Army must win!"

The fans at the North Shore Garden Arena were also roaring passionately. They wanted to see the Celtics defeat their opponents and the sky was filled with ribbons.

After a while, the players from both teams were in position. Jaylen Brown served from the sideline. As the referee gave the ball to Brown, the game continued.

Jaylen Brown quickly found someone, Horford set a screen for Jianghu, and Jianghu came out to the midline to receive Jaylen Brown's serve.

After Jiang Hu got the ball, he immediately attracted the defensive attention of the Warriors team. He took a step forward with the ball and dribbled. Green and Iguodala's double attack came, and Thompson also raised his hands to prepare.

Jianghu saw Smart being left open in the bottom corner, but he did not pass the ball. At this point in time, it was not that he did not trust Smart, but that compared to Smart, Jianghu was still more willing to believe in himself.

"boom!"

He first used his shoulder to fight against Green, and then dribbled the ball to the right. Iguodala's attention was also attracted, and then quickly swatted the ball to the left. This was a dribble with a huge change of direction. Jianghu also used the change of direction to get rid of Green and Iguodala at the same time.

"Incredible, Jiang Hu is as flexible as a 183cm guard, using flexible dribbling and footsteps to break through the double team of Green and Iguodala!!"

Jianghu's butterfly step gave him room to accelerate.

"boom!"

He pushed hard with his right foot and sprinted forward, like a Hummer off-road vehicle at full power.

It was too late for Thompson to stop him. After Jianghu fought against Thompson, he kicked off the ground with all his strength, and then soared into the air for a layup from a long distance.
at last!

During the confrontation, Jianghu pushed the ball away, and the basketball drew a beautiful route.

"boom!"

After the basketball bounces off the backboard, it spins.

"Shh!"

The basketball just flew into the net.

Warriors 119-119 Celtics.

"Beautiful, Jiang Hu once again scored a key goal to help the team tie the score. His fighting power is always unbelievable but so real!"

"This is an absolutely violent aesthetic. First, use a large change of direction to complete a wonderful one-two attack, and then stabilize the center of the body during the confrontation to score the ball."

"Such a goal at a critical moment is more exciting than a dunk."

"Perfect personal offense!!"

"Jianghu will never let you down!"

Zhang Weiping shouted passionately at the commentary desk.

"It's awesome. It's awesome. This ball is so domineering. If it were some people, they might choose to pass the ball at the critical moment."

"I also saw Smart's vacancy. If I gave it to him, there would be no problem passing the ball. But that's just the way ordinary people solve problems. I still like Jianghu's way of handling it. This is how heroes solve it."

"Jianghu is so scary. He is so young, but he has already defeated the Warriors' entire defense line. How scary will his future be?"

"Is Jianghu going to complete the Grand Slam in the first season?"

After scoring this goal, Cole requested a timeout again. The reason why there was another timeout after just playing a round was that he did not want the Celtics to continue this momentum.

Jiang Hu excitedly rushed to the sidelines and jumped high, then crossed his hands and made a "siu" turn. The entire celebration was done in one go, as if he was celebrating a wonderful goal on the football field.

Celtic players also rushed towards Jianghu and celebrated crazily around him.

Although the game was suspended, the fans at the North Shore Garden Arena were always in excitement.

The Warriors almost used their rhythm to suppress the Celtics for the entire game, but at the last moment Jianghu scored consecutively to tie the score. It was not the best result for the Warriors!

Warriors fans in Golden State are not willing to see this happen, but the fact has been determined.

Curry looked up at the replay, and he didn't have too many regrets.He knows that Jianghu has such ability, and it is inevitable that Jianghu will score two points with this level of defense.

The two teams dragged into a decisive battle where the outcome was determined by one goal.

bench.

Cole held Curry's shoulders and said to Curry: "Stephen, don't think too much, their state is not as good as ours today, we will win the game."

Curry nodded and said, "Yeah, I know."

Although the score was tied, it is an objective fact that the Celtics' overall condition is not as good as the Warriors.

On the Celtics side, Stevens did not talk about tactics, but emphasized the foul problem in Jianghu.

"Jiang. You need to control your fouls. You have already committed five fouls."

Stevens said worriedly.

"Yes, I will." Jiang Hu said.

He must pay attention to this issue. If he is sent off, it will be very difficult for the Celtics to beat the Warriors.

Soon, the game continued.

Green passed the ball to Durant.

Durant dribbled to the top of the arc and handed it to Curry. Curry held the ball and directly started the game.

Obviously, he also knows about Jiang Hu's foul problem and wants to cause Jiang Hu to commit fouls.

After consecutive dribbling feints, Curry chose to break through directly.

Jiang Hu did not impulsively choose to attack the knife ball directly, but followed his movements step by step.

When he got to the free throw line, Curry felt he was in the right offensive position, knocked the ball away with his left chest, and then threw a floater with his right hand.

Jianghu was confident that he could control the fouls and provide sufficient interference to Curry. He did not hesitate to use blind defense.

Curry didn't expect Jianghu's defense to be so decisive, and to be able to defend him even after being pushed away with his chest.

Curry, who has a wingspan of 193cm and a bounce of 80cm, has a hard time understanding the world of Jianghu, who has a wingspan of 221cm and a bounce of 115cm. He was caught off guard and could only increase the arc of his shot.

In the end, the basketball hit the back frame and bounced back into Horford's hands.

The Celtics attacked. Horford passed the ball to Irving. Irving took the ball and faced Thompson. After taking two steps, he passed it to Jiang Hu who came to meet him. Jiang Hu received the ball at the top of the key and launched the attack.

A dribbling dive from the right, Green followed closely, and Jianghu shot the ball to the left with an underhand change and struck again.

"boom!"

Jiang Hu took three steps and knocked away Green. Rooney jumped from the basket to block the shot. Jiang Hu fought against Rooney.

"Snapped!"

Rooney's hand hit Jiang Hu's arm mercilessly, but it did not stop Jiang Hu's layup. The basketball finally rebounded and fell into the basket.

119 is better than 121
"Beep!!!"

The referee's whistle also sounded, indicating that there would be an extra penalty. The fans at the scene almost went crazy and wanted to rush to the court immediately to hug Jiang Hu and kiss him twice.
Barkley screamed: "Oh oh oh, here it comes, here it comes, Jiang Yao starts to dominate the critical moment and leads the team to win the championship!!!"

Smith shouted: "Beautiful, Jiang Hu continues to use his fast and strong body to crazily ravage the Warriors' inside line. Rooney, who seems tough, is like a weak Polish woman in front of Jiang Hu!"

Miller also said: "The extremely tough two plus one offense. Everyone knows how Jianghu is going to fight, but they just can't stop it."

Jiang Hu on the court gestured his biceps towards the camera. Green and Rooney were still discussing how to defend Jiang Hu. It was obvious that he couldn't defend him like this.

Jianghu stands on the free throw line.

Hold your breath!

Pace it a little.

Shot.

The basketball draws a gorgeous arc.

Although the arc was very beautiful, the moment he took action, Jianghu knew he would not get in.

"frame!"

Rooney and Durant jumped up to collect the rebound, but a figure was faster.

Jiang Hu hit the rebound behind Durant, but without landing, he touched the basketball with one hand in the air, then held the basketball with one hand and used all his strength to smash the ball into the basket through Durant.

"Boom~~" The entire audience went crazy, and everyone jumped up from their chairs almost instantly.

The Warriors beat the Celtics 119 to 123. Jianghu completed a beautiful self-penalty and scored a domineering goal.

Durant, wearing the blue No. 35 jersey, fell to the ground miserably and suffered injuries he shouldn't have endured.

"awesomeness!!"

"Damn, this horse riding is so violent, I love this!!"

"Poor Kevin, he just wants to protect rebounds, what's wrong with him?? Hahaha!!!"

"Did you see it? This is what happens to traitors!!!"

The cheers of the fans at the North Shore Garden Arena seemed to never stop, turning into one continuous heat wave after another.

Cole's face looked ugly. From the 5th minute of the fourth quarter to now, the Warriors seemed unable to stop Li Kai's offensive.

Jiang Hu also plays whatever they want on the court, and they can't stop them no matter how hard they try to restrict it.

Is this really the end? ?Cole couldn't help but look to the sidelines. There was the huge Yao Ming. Next to Yao Ming was President Xiao Hua, who was holding his chin and looking at the court thinking...

When the Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball calmly across half court. After Curry reached the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Green, who held the ball on the top line.

Durant locked up with Smart on the wing, and Smart refused to give an inch. He was like an old tree wrapped around Durant's body.

Curry and Thompson are also moving, Jianghu is chasing Curry, and Jaylen Brown is chasing Thompson.

Rooney provided an off-ball screen for Curry inside, and Jianghu's pursuit was delayed. Green also initiated a breakthrough, allowing Jianghu's defensive attention to shift to Green.

Green broke through and passed the ball to Curry. Curry received the ball from the right three-point line and immediately ejected.

Horford, who switched to guard Curry, was slow, and Curry's three-pointer fell.

"Shh!"

Warriors 122-123 Celtics.

This three-pointer made the cheers at the North Shore Garden Arena slightly weaker. As long as it is not a key goal like the last attack, Curry is almost a perfect attacker. His rhythm and shot timing are very precise.

The Celtics attack and Irving dribbles to the top of the key.

Jianghu did not ask for the ball this time, but chose to go up and set a pick-and-roll for Irving. His screen was very solid, and Irving dribbled laterally.

Jianghu followed suit, and Irving passed the ball. His pass was very sharp, and he slipped the ball between Curry and Green and gave it to Jianghu.

After receiving the ball, Jianghu attracted Rooney's defense, and Horford cut inside along the baseline.

Instead of attacking on their own, Jianghu threw the ball into the sky.

Horford caught Jianghu's pass with both hands and slammed it into the basket.

"frame!!"

Warriors 122-125 Celtics.

Jianghu and Horford celebrated with a rare high-five with passion. In the last minute of the game, the Celtics had regained the initiative.

In the Warriors' offense, Curry brought the ball to the frontcourt and was screened by Rooney. After Curry moved laterally, he wanted to break through, but he encountered the help of Jianghu defense and Curry was unable to break through.

Curry chose to give the ball to Durant at the free throw line. Durant took the ball and made a fake move, and Jianghu pounced on him again.

On the other side, Thompson made a reverse run and got rid of Jaylen Brown's defense to complete the inside cut.

Durant sent a ball to Thompson, and Thompson avoided Horford's defense for a layup and scored with a high throw.

Warriors 124-125 Celtics.

At the critical moment, it was the Splash Brothers who scored consecutively to seize the game.

As for the Celtics' offense, Irving continued to advance slowly.

Jianghu continued to cover, but this time the Warriors blocked the passing route when they switched defenses.

Irving had no choice but to dribble the ball to one side.

Green immediately pressed Irving, and Durant also attacked from the side. The two men's movements were very large, but the referee did not indicate that Irving was on the verge of losing the ball.

There was no other way, Jiang Hu had no choice but to rush out and catch the ball.

When Jianghu received the ball, there were only 6 seconds left in the attack time. Faced with Curry's misalignment, Jianghu chose to rush directly without changing direction, and directly accelerated the impact.

Green and Durant both flanked Irving. Rooney was in the high post at this time, which was a good time to hit the basket.

"boom!"

Jiang Hu directly knocked Curry away, took off into the air, grabbed the ball with one hand and smashed it towards the basket! !

"frame!!"

Jiang Hu successfully completed the dunk, but something unexpected happened...

"Beep beep!!"

The referee's sharp and harsh whistle sounded, and the whistle sounded very quickly.

Jianghu also thought that the referee called Curry for a blocking foul because Curry was suspected of moving his feet.

As a result, the referee pointed at Jianghu, then made a fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand.

Zhang Weiping was so anxious that he shouted: "Offensive foul??"

"You are bragging, this referee!!"

The referee believed that Jianghu pushed and pushed to expand the cylinder when he hit Curry.

There were boos at the scene, and the audience loudly greeted the referee's relatives and sent them blessings.

Jiang Hu rushed to argue with the referee, Stevens was also explaining to the referee, and even Anji left his seat and ran over to put pressure on the referee.

The referee was unmoved and resolutely called Jiang Hu a foul.

The whole Warriors team was celebrating excitedly, because this foul caused Jianghu to commit six fouls.

Zhang Weiping controlled his excitement, suppressed his voice and said:

"This call will be the turning point in this game."

Yu Jia said:

"It is up to the referee to decide whether to call this foul. The action is not too big. In most cases, there is no need to call a foul."

The fans in front of the TV were also in a bad mood! !
"Damn it, where is your mother? Can you blow?"

"Damn it, the president is personally in charge of directing the punishment, right??"

"No, this is an offensive foul? Who has Dayao's phone number? I'll call him and give him another 500 yuan to beat up the bald guy next to me. I'll pay for the medical expenses, damn it!!!"

"Curry's whole body fell out. It didn't look like he was acting. It can only be said that the weight difference between the two is too big."

Jiang Hu and his teammates protested in vain, and the referee still upheld the original decision after watching the replay of the game.

Without Jianghu, the Celtics' offense was in trouble. Irving, who was double-teamed by Durant and Green, made consecutive mistakes, while Curry and Thompson hit consecutive shots from the outside.

The Warriors scored consecutive goals at the last moment and quickly opened up the score. In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 135 to 126.

The Celtics lost the game and the chance to end the series at home.

Jiang Hu sat on the sidelines with some regret. Although the referee's decision was open to question, his own problems were not small. If he could control his movements at the last moment, he would not have to sit off the field at the last moment.

"Losing!"

Jiang Hu felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't say hello to anyone and walked towards the locker room. Although he was regretful, fortunately it was not the end of the world. They still held the match point and were still leading the score.

Zhang Weiping said: "The series score became 3-2. The Warriors successfully pulled back a game. Their bold words before the game were realized and they avoided losing the championship."

Yu Jia said: "This game is a pity for the Celtics. They lost at the last minute. The team's strongest player left the field with six fouls, which deprived them of their biggest threat. Faced with this situation, Irving also I couldn't stand up and use my personal abilities to save the team like I did two years ago."

"While penalty impact has a huge impact on the final outcome, it's not the only factor that determines the game."

"The Warriors used the strength of the team to defeat individual strength. They played their own style in this game. If the Celtics win, more people in the team will need to stand up and help Jianghu."

"We still have an advantage now. What the Celtics need to do is to adjust their mentality as soon as possible and prepare to meet the challenges of the next game. For a series, winning or losing one or two games is too normal."

"The warriors are starting to exert their strength, and there is trouble."

"The foul call at the last moment was controversial."

"It's a shame that Jiang Hu was sent off."

The fans are also looking forward to this game.

Technical statistics.

"Irving scored 29 points in the whole game, but except for the rest of the second quarter, his performance in the rest of the period was hardly efficient."

"Jiang Hu scored a game-high 51 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists. His performance was still the best among all the players on the field. If he had not left the field at the last moment, the outcome of this game is hard to say."

"As for the Warriors, Curry scored 7 three-pointers and scored 41 points, Durant scored 33 points, Green scored a triple-double of 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, and Thompson scored 19 points. The entire Warriors team Almost all played their best form since the series.”

At the post-match press conference.

Talking about the foul, Jiang Hu said: "I won't argue about anything. The result has already come out. This kind of argument is meaningless."

"I can understand the occurrence of such a controversial penalty. If the same thing happens again, we have to suspect that there is an invisible hand behind the scenes trying to take away our championship!!"

Jiang Hu slammed his fist on the table and said solemnly: "If this happens again in the following games, then I will maintain fairness and controversy at all costs!!"

The game is over, and there is no point in making a fuss. Jianghu can only send a warning to the league, don't mess with me, if you mess with me again, you will really make a fuss.

Angie told reporters: "That foul is definitely not an offensive foul, but a two plus one. I will appeal to the league."

Anji was very angry. With Jiang Hu on the court, the Celtics might not lose at all in the final stage.

The difference between winning the championship directly and 3-2 is really too big.

Now that the Warriors have seen hope of winning, the next game will be even more difficult.

On the Warriors side, Cole said with a smile: "There is no need to argue about that foul, it is just an ordinary call. They don't have Jiang, and Kyrie. Kyrie is also an All-Star player. I think the referee is fair. They should look for reasons within themselves.”

Cole was a bit mean to make sarcastic remarks. The Warriors were really beaten badly in the finals, which put a lot of pressure on Cole.

After finally winning, I still have to give it a try.

Green said to the camera arrogantly: "The reversal will start tonight. There is nothing special about leading 3-1. Anyway, we will come back and win this series just like we did in the 2016 Western Conference Finals. "
