legendary point guard
Chapter 493: The Suffocating North Shore Garden
"Wood also hit three in a row. The third one was three plus one at a time. There is no doubt about the difficulty of the previous one. This time Allen and James Posey are the perfect foil for Wood.
Even if there is no penalty, just watching the shots of Allen and James Posey charging at each other is extremely powerful, not to mention that Wood also deceived a foul and completed the goal!" Hoffman commented while watching the replay on the big screen.
road.
As Hoffman said, the image of two people rushing towards each other is enough to shock people.
Lin Sen's performance undoubtedly gave Magic fans a shot in the arm, and if Lin Sen made the extra free throw, the seven-point difference before Lin Sen came on the court would be wiped out.
At this time, it was only two and a half minutes since Lin Sen came on the court, and the seven-point difference in two and a half minutes had disappeared.
Such a terrifying hole-filling efficiency amazed everyone who watched this game. If the super scorers in this league are terrifying when they turn on the offensive mode, then let them choose the most terrifying person.
This person is not Kobe, not James, not Tracy McGrady, it must be Lin Sen.
Because among them, Lin Sen's offensive mode is the most unpredictable and lethal.
Compared with others, Lin Sen's three-pointers have super continuity, and the distance and shooting method are not the reasons that hinder Lin Sen from scoring.
At this moment, Lin Sen proved their choice with three three-pointers, and Doc Rivers reluctantly called a timeout.
After returning from the timeout, Ray Allen, who made six of six three-pointers in the second quarter, sat on the bench.
"What a disappointing scene. Allen actually sat off the court. What we want to see is Wood and Allen fighting again."
"Without Allen, maybe Wood will slow down." Hoffman said following Bill Walton's words.
Just like what Hoffman said, the end of Ray Allen and Lin Sen's offense are not blindly choosing three-pointers or blindly attacking on their own.
And kg and pp took on the important task of scoring for the Celtics. In the second quarter, the shooting percentages of both sides increased significantly, but in fact the defensive intensity did not decrease much.
At the end of the first half, the Orlando Magic, playing away from home, led the Celtics with a slim 2-point lead.
However, at the beginning of the second half, Ray Allen took Garnett's pass and hit his eighth three-pointer in a single game to help the Celtics overtake the point difference and also increase his score to 28 points.
"Terrible Allen, did he go for 40 points tonight? He scored half of the team's points by himself." Bill Walton said, looking at the total score of 59.
However, shortly after Bill Walton finished speaking, Lin Sen, who had brought the ball to the frontcourt, faced Ray Allen's defense. After a screen from Milicic, he made a straight pull from outside the three-point line.
Three point hit.
Lin Sen's counterattack three-pointer also helped Lin Sen increase his score tonight to 20 points.
In the next game, Ray Allen's touch was still hot, while CG, PP and veteran PJ Brown all showed good offensive status.
If you just look at the score of 33:34 between the two sides in this quarter, you can't imagine how desperate these two teams were on the defensive end.
But the actual situation is that neither team has any intention of relaxing their defense, and the Celtics still have the same expression.
Especially when they felt good, they still couldn't beat the Magic directly, which put them under tremendous pressure.
Kobe Bryant, who was far away in San Antonio, was lying on the bed in a hotel watching the live TV broadcast, his eyes locked on the player comparisons that appeared on the screen.
Ray Allen has scored 37 points in the three quarters and hit 9 three-pointers in a single game.
Lin Sen did not hesitate, scoring 32 points in three quarters and hitting 6 three-pointers.
Kobe smiled and shook his head. Neither the Celtics nor the Magic were easy to beat, but he would rather choose the Celtics.
It is not easy for the Celtics to defeat the Magic. And they have played seven games in the first two rounds. If they want to come back and defeat the Magic in this round, they will definitely not be able to do it without seven games.
Even though they defeated the Magic and entered the finals, the Celtics still had more mental strength left to support them.
There is not much fuel left in the tank in his body, and as long as he and his teammates persist, the final victory will most likely go to the Lakers.
The Orlando Magic are just the opposite. The problems they encountered in the first two rounds were not big. Getting past the Celtics will give them more training.
Coupled with the impact of last year's loss in the Finals, the more terrifying and luxurious Magic of this new lineup will make the Lakers feel particularly depressed.
Just when Kobe was still imagining how to deal with the Celtics and Magic in the finals, the fourth quarter kicked off.
The Celtics, who were trailing by three points 80:83 in the first three quarters, were under great pressure. Pierce appeared on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Facing the Orlando Magic's defense, Pierce scored precious 7 points in the first three points, raising his score to 25 points and helping the Celtics even the point difference.
The next game did not go as Stan Van Gundy expected - the Celtics' veterans had a physical crisis.
Instead, the Big Three became more and more courageous as they fought. Lin Sen knew that it was like running a marathon alone. If he loses his breath, it would be difficult to get it back.
Milicic could clearly feel it when he was playing alone against Garnett, but even if he felt Garnett's defense, he still maintained a high-pressure state.
"Get down here!"
Garnett roared. This was the first time he had made a sound in the whole game. It was so cold that it was scary.
Howard, who received Lin Sen's pass, was originally in a good position, but the moment he sent the ball out, he was blocked by Garnett.
With his eyes wide open and roaring, Garnett shocked Howard so hard that the ball that Garnett slapped hit the floor quickly and bounced high.
Rondo quickly grabbed the ball and held it in his arms without rushing to attack.
Although he is very young, he knows that the team needs a rest at this time and every second is extremely precious.
Bill Walton looked at the three old guys running towards the front court: "Now the competition has reached the point where whoever fails to bite first will lose the game. As an old man who grew up watching the three of them,
Guys, applaud them for this performance.
I know how difficult it is for them. Facing the younger Orlando and persisting from the beginning to now, this is already a miracle."
"Yes, I didn't expect that KG could cover Dwight's layup just now so quickly. It's incredible!
This is indeed him fighting to the limit, and he knows that if he loses this game, it will mean that most of the Celtics will miss the O'Brien Cup this season!" Hoffman added.
At this time, there were only two minutes and 44 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Celtics trailed the Magic by 1 point, 100:101.
Ray Allen has increased his personal score in this game to 44 points, Garnett's personal data has increased to 22 points, 19 rebounds, 3 blocks and 4 assists, while Pierce, one of the Big Three, also scored 22 points and 5 assists.
Comprehensive data of 3 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 assists.
The three veterans had already scored as many as 88 points before the game was over, but they still failed to help the team take the lead.
The Big Three's playing time has reached 41, 40, and 42 respectively. This is not an easy task for three veterans who are over 30 years old, not to mention that they have to maintain high intensity on both offense and defense.
No matter who the fan is, they will be moved when they see the three people fighting desperately on the court, but for the Magic, kindness to their opponents is cruelty to themselves.
Howard, who returned to the defensive end, wanted to hit back at Garnett, but unexpectedly he was caught by the experienced Garnett. Not only did he fail to block the shot, but he also gave Garnett a chance to hit a three-pointer.
"Damn it!" Howard punched the basket in frustration. He was criticized in the playoffs last season, but his performance in the playoffs this year was much better than last season.
Although the data is down compared to the regular season, it is overall very good.
But if the situation in this game changes today because he gave Garnett a chance, then he will become the sinner in the eyes of countless fans and experts.
Moreover, this foul also gave him his fifth foul, and there were still more than two points in the game, which meant that he had to be more careful next.
Hoffman looked at Howard and said: "Dwight could just slow down a little bit. In fact, he didn't stumble twice just now, but in the end he was deceived by Garnett.
kg played too calmly, and you can't blame Dwight for this shot. He did a good job, but he couldn't endure it to the best of his ability."
Bill Walton nodded: "If Orlando loses this game because of this, then Dwight's defense will definitely be the focus of criticism, but I hope Dwight will not feel pressure. This foul is his fifth foul.
Another time he's going to leave the game with six fouls, and now there's still two and a half minutes left in the game."
Stan Van Gundy was very depressed, but he also knew that Howard was not to blame for the ball.
"It doesn't matter, you've done a good job!" Lin Sen patted Howard's butt and stepped back from the three-point line.
Garnett stood on the free throw line and put the ball into the basket under pressure. The Celtics, who were originally 1 point behind, became 2 points ahead of the Magic with Garnett's key three-pointer.
Lin Sen received Milicic's serve. He knew that the most important thing now was not to be chaotic, not to rush to attack, but to be steady.
After all, there is plenty of time, and the consequences of rushing to attack will only be experienced by the experienced Celtics.
Lin Sen's performance reassured Stan Van Gundy a lot. The two big players Billups and Lin Sen put tremendous pressure on the Celtics.
Moreover, neither of them was stable or impatient at all. This attack took the Magic 20 seconds, and finally Milicic passed the ball inward to Howard.
After Howard vented his anger with a heavy dunk with both hands, he helped the Magic equalize the score.
There are still two full minutes left before the game, and the atmosphere in the North Shore Garden Arena makes it extremely difficult to breathe. (To be continued...)
