Chapter 495 Entering the Finals with One Foot

"Perfect aerial spin, an acrobatic goal, Wood, Wood's key goal.

This is a goal that relies entirely on individual ability. Doug had to stop the game. Now that Boston is in a backward position, they must arrange something. "

Bill Wharton nodded. He agreed with Hoffman's point of view. Linsen's goal difficulty and viewability have reached the maximum. Coupled with the key attributes of this ball, Linsen's attack is too critical: "If Boston's key offense can't be scored next, then Orlando is likely to take away the victory in this game.

If Boston loses this game, the result of this round of the series will basically be released, and the 3:1 overall score lead basically ensures that Orlando can enter the finals.

Now let's look at Boston's next key offense, and Boston fans have already stood up. "

"Defense, defend! They will definitely hand the ball to PP or Ray Allen..." Stan Van Gundy shouted loudly. The Celtics' next choice is most likely to be two points.

Although the Celtics no longer have the physical fitness to play overtime, but for the conservative Celtics, two points are undoubtedly the safest, far safer than betting on three points.

Doug Rivers certainly knows that the team's biggest problem is physical fitness, although the team has not been at a disadvantage due to physical problems until now.

But he knew that the physical fitness of the team's Big Three had reached its limit, and overtime was not a good choice, but choosing a three-pointer was too risky, so he didn't dare to try it lightly.

"The first choice is pp. You and kg are in the pick-and-roll. If kg has a chance, you choose to pass the ball. The first choice is still you.

Allen.You move.If there is an opportunity outside, then you must make a move! "Doug Rivers said in a calm voice.

The Celtics fans in the North Shore Garden Arena were troubled. Finally, under Danny Ainge's operation, the team gathered the Big Three and waited for the opportunity to compete for the O'Brien Cup again.

However, it is so cruel now, the team is likely to bid farewell to the stage of this season in 32 seconds.

106:104, the dazzling score affects most people's hearts for a limited time.

"I guess the Celtics are going to lose, they are under too much pressure."

"Not necessarily. The Celtics have a lot of key players, and the players have enough experience. If the Magic is not careful, they may be tied or even overtaken."

"It's good to play overtime, so you can watch for a while!"

"Ray Allen scored 44 points, and Wood also scored 38 points. In overtime, the two may score more than [-] points."

……

The fans discussed while players from both teams returned to the field.

beep!

The pressure is completely on the Celtics side, even if they use the remaining time to complete an attack, the Magic still have at least 8 seconds of attack time to complete the final blow.

"How will Boston choose this attack, press the time to attack with all its strength or make a strong attack. Leave the last hope for yourself?" Hoffman said, looking at the Celtics players.

Garnett stood on the sidelines, with a whistle.Garnett passes the ball to Rajon Rondo.

Rondo immediately handed the ball to Pierce after receiving the ball, and the rest of the Celtics immediately pulled away.

"Oh, is it handed over to PP for singles? Ron is under a lot of pressure!" Bill Wharton said, looking at Pierce who was holding the ball.

Artest faced Pierce with the ball alone, and he thought about the possibility of Pierce singles him with the ball.

Without lowering the center of gravity of the body, Artest took a step forward with his left foot, and the whole person was closer to Pierce.

Pierce did not rush to attack, lowered his body's center of gravity, and made a three-threat move.

The whole body is leaning forward, and the left shoulder tends to touch Artest.

Bang!

Pierce's body collided with Artest. The moment after the collision, Pierce slapped the ball with his right hand and withdrew his left foot.

With a shake of his upper body, Artest immediately pushed forward.

Milicic, who was guarding Garnett, leaned tightly against Garnett.

Garnett retreated to the middle, and the whole person quickly ran to Pierce's side.

And Pierce continued to dribble under the crotch with a low center of gravity, and suddenly made a cross step in the face of Artest's defense.

"PP breakthrough, kg cover!" Hoffman shouted.

boom!

Artest, who was moving, bumped into Garnett's body, and Pierce found a chance to make a shot in an instant!

"PP shot, this is a chance! Can you tie the score!" Bill Wharton shouted loudly, the ball had just left Pierce's fingers after Lin Sen clipped it from the top of the arc.

"Rebound!" Lin Sen watched Pierce's shot and shouted towards the inside.

And the moment Pierce shot, he also felt a little surprised.

Garnettla came out, only Perkins existed inside, and Howard and Milicic guarded the basket to protect the rebound beyond doubt.

clang!

Pierce's shot hit the inner edge of the basket, and the sound of iron striking chilled all Celtics fans.

"No shot, PP failed to make a crucial shot, rebound, Dwight!" Bill Wharton shouted loudly, seeing Howard leaping high and grabbing the ball from the air.

Howard grabbed the defensive rebound. According to the previous timeout arrangement, he had to call a timeout as soon as possible, or pass the ball out immediately.

However, before Howard had time to call a timeout, Perkins hugged Howard directly.

The referee's whistle blew immediately, and Stan Van Gundy, who was off the field, thumped his hand in frustration.

Howard walked to the free throw line, which is a test for the Magic. This season, Howard has made some progress in free throws. The free throw percentage in the regular season has exceeded 60.00%, reaching 62%.

However, the 62% free throw percentage is still too low. If Howard misses two free throws this time, it still gives the Celtics a great chance. At this time, there are still 22 seconds before the end of the game.

"Dwight goes to the free throw line. Once Dwight makes one of two free throws, at least Orlando can take the initiative in regular time. At most, he will be tied by Boston and enter overtime.

If Dwight misses two free throws.So Boston still has a lifeline.If two free throws are made, Boston's game is basically over. Hoffman said, looking at Howard who was walking towards the free throw line.

Howard is under a lot of pressure, and he also knows that his free throws are the key to whether the Magic can enter the finals.

"You can do it!" Lin Sen patted Howard's butt and retreated beyond the three-point line.

However, Howard's first free throw shot was very stiff, and the ball bounced directly to the front of the basket amid the boos of the audience.

"Oh, Dwight missed the first free throw, which means he gave Boston a lifeline, and if he misses the next free throw, it's like giving Boston a new chance.

basketball court.Such a missed opportunity is likely to bring about bad consequences. "Bill Wharton looked at Howard and said.

Howard watched the basket tense, and he knew how critical this free throw was.

Lin Sen, who was outside the three-point line, looked at Howard against Rondo.

Howard looked at the basket and lifted the ball up. Lin Sen pushed Rondo firmly with his right hand, ready to rush in to grab the rebound.

"Dwight shot!" Hoffman shouted along with Howard's shot, and Lin Sen pushed Rondo to the inside at the moment Howard shot.

"Rebound!" Howard shouted, Garnett and Perkins inside occupy a favorable position.

clang!

With a crisp sound, the ball bounced high, and Garnett and Perkins took off at the same time.This rebound is so critical, they must take it down.

Deng!

Lin Sen stomped heavily with his left foot one step inside the free throw line.The whole person stood up.

Garnett and Perkins were right in front of Lin Sen, and Lin Sen's bullet speed was too fast.

He took off before Garnett, and his body was getting higher and higher.

Lin Sen seemed to have exhausted all his strength in kicking and jumping, feeling that he was jumping higher and higher, and he stretched his arms high and straight to catch the basketball bouncing in the air!

The front is Garnett's body.

boom!

The two bodies collided, Lin Sen gritted his teeth, his whole body was still raised, everyone stared at Lin Sen in the air with wide eyes.

Lin Sen actually competed with Garnett for this rebound, and the position was not dominant at all.

Garnett's hands were about to touch the falling ball, and he felt Lin Sen's impact on his back and exerted force directly.

Lin Sen instantly lost his center of gravity and leaned forward a little.

Before Garnett, Lin Sen took the ball with his right hand.

The ball flew back to the basket less than five centimeters away from Garnett's palm, and Lin Sen lost his center of gravity.

"Wood, Wood, Wood actually grabbed a key offensive rebound, and Wood pointed the ball to the basket, did you!" Bill Wharton shouted.

Lin Sen, who was in the air, directly brushed against Garnett's body, and fell to the floor in embarrassment.

beep!

Garnett's body also began to fall, and he had to take off for the second time.

Bang!

Lin Sen fell directly from the sky and fell heavily under the basket.

Adriana Lima on the sidelines stood up subconsciously. She could hear Lin Sen's fall on the floor clearly even though she was so far away.

Lin Sen kept looking at the ball he picked towards the basket, and the ball flew towards the basket.

Rolling on the edge of the basket, it touched everyone's hearts one after another.

No one speaks, everyone is waiting for the final result, Doc Rivers prays that the ball will slide out of the basket, if Linson puts the ball into the basket this time, then the Celtics will really be behind by four points There is no play.

Garnett regained his footing and was about to jump, but the ball finally slid into the hoop after three laps on the hoop.

"Wood, Wood, Wood's key offensive rebound, he pressured kg to hit the ball into the basket. This is a key tip-up that can change the entire series." Bill Walton roared loudly.

Lying on the floor, Lin Sen punched hard. Although the match was not over, Lin Sen knew he had won.

The Celtics couldn't believe the scene in front of them at all. They lost the rebound that they shouldn't have lost.

It's only 18 seconds and they are four points behind, which means they have to attack one, then foul tactics, and if this attack fails, there is really no chance.

But after the timeout, Ray Allen, who had an excellent touch throughout the game, shot a three-pointer and hit the basket. Milicic scored a defensive rebound, which meant the end of the game.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the 3:1 total lead made all Celtics fans breathless. (To be continued..)
