NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 403 Leave everything to me
"What the game just proved, we are fully capable of winning."

Seeing that the score gap has reached within 5 points, the Celtics once again ignited hope.

In order to win a round, Joe Johnson has not rested, and Pierce has made adjustments for a short time, and does not plan to rest in the second half.

Garnett had no choice but to take the fifth position. He was exhausted and had to rest, but he tried to stay on the court as much as possible.

However, with the continuous expansion of physical exertion, the breath that the Celtics were holding back has been released, and their shooting percentage has also begun to decline.

Pierce had a good day, but now he's a little weak again.

He relied on his body to beat Durant, and it is difficult to continue now.

As Russell said, the Celtics were a bit of a last-ditch struggle, and once the momentum passed in the final quarter, they had to fight again.

The Celtics are basically fighting with a small lineup, and the Suns also use one big and four small ones during the rotation, and follow the right way at other times.

After all, the Celtics' style of play gave up part of their defense and the Suns' offense, and the Suns must satisfy the opponent.

It's just that the performance of the Suns' bench today was mediocre. To be on the safe side, it was Hill who played with the main lineup in the end.

After all, Hill has a lot of experience, so he still needs to be a little bit more confident in helping to contain one person.

"Leave everything to me." Russell patted his chest and promised.

Everyone else has no opinion, even the coaching staff. No one is more reassuring than Russell.

So the Suns are working hard to defend now, and Russell is the main attack on the offensive end. If Russell passes the ball to his teammates, then they can just make a decisive shot.

And this time Russell didn't rest for long. Since they were still ahead at this time, he wanted to take the victory away and win the series.

At this time, his hand feeling is getting better and better, and he just pulls it directly when facing House.

Celtics head coach Rivers also gritted his teeth and did not adjust. If Rondo is on the defensive effect, the defensive effect may not be good, and there will be fewer individuals on the offensive end.

The playoff teams are too targeted, and players with obvious shortcomings are really at a disadvantage.

Even if Rivers still appreciates Rondo, he dare not use him at this time.

The two sides stalemate for a few minutes. In the last 5 minutes of the game, Garnett caused Stoudemire to foul. After Garnett made two free throws, the score of the two teams narrowed to within 5 points.

The Celtics fans also let go of their arrogance and cheered for the team.

They hope for a miracle. Although the Celtics did not play well in the first half, they played energetically in the second half.

On Russell's side, the Celtics began to flank. They thought it would be better for the Suns to make shots. Even if it was an open shot, it was not as scary as Russell pulling up.

Russell is so clueless that they can only use this method.

Then they flanked Russell, and when Russell gave the ball to Stoudemire, Stoudemire made an accidental mistake.

To be precise, it was careless, because Joe Johnson suddenly appeared in the path of Stoudemire and cut the ball from the side.

Joe Johnson is also very familiar with Stoudemire, and at this moment he gave up his defender's bet.

He made the right bet this time. Stoudemire didn't have Russell's vision and didn't notice this situation. It was too late when Russell and Ray Allen reminded him.

Joe Johnson launched a fast break after stealing the ball, and Ray Allen desperately chased back.

When Joe Johnson rushed into the Suns penalty area, he passed back to Pierce who followed, and the latter directly scored a complete dunk.

At 3 minutes and 16 seconds, the Celtics narrowed the gap to 1 point.

Everything is really possible at this time, and the Suns also requested a timeout to let the players relax.

If you don't calm down at this time, it is easy to be overtaken by your opponent in a daze.

"This ball is mine..." Stoudemire looked a little bad, he didn't expect Joe Johnson to be so insidious.

"It's okay, we didn't pay attention... But it also shows that they have no way out, so they will adopt a gambling defensive method, so let's not be nervous, just go up and score the ball." Russell said.

"Well, I'm ready to shoot." Ray Allen also said seriously.

Originally, the opponent's players would be a little flustered when they caught up with the score, but after a while, the Suns are still full of fighting spirit.

The championship is right in front of them, and they must get it immediately.

After playing again, the Celtics still guarded against Russell.

They can see that Russell is an unscientific guy, but the other Suns players are still ordinary people.

At this time, other people may not be able to withstand the pressure and hit.

They even regretted it a little. They had known about it and attacked Russell from the very beginning. Maybe they were not the ones standing on the edge of the cliff now.

The Suns attacked, Russell still played pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

Garnett came up to delay for a while, and then waited for Pierce to come over and attack before retreating to Stoudemire.

Regarding defense, the Celtics are very experienced, and this set of defense is connected smoothly.

Garnett was also very careful about Russell touching the porcelain, he just covered him with his long arms, and didn't stick directly to him.

He did defend well, and Russell didn't find a good opportunity, but Pierce, who came over to attack next, was not so cautious.

Pierce and Russell still have too few matchups. If House is not useless now, the Celtics will not let him come over to attack.

At this time, it is normal to have less defensive attention on Durant and Hill.

But just as Pierce came over, Russell suddenly accelerated.

Pierce immediately made a defensive move, and Russell blocked it with House.

He subconsciously thought that Russell was going to break through, but Russell deliberately created an opportunity. When Pierce came to block him, Russell used the arm-clamp method again.

Pierce didn't react at all, and was called a foul in a daze.

Russell made two free throws, which pissed off Pierce.

When it was the Celtics' turn to attack, Pierce hit Hill with all his strength.

Hill has better defensive experience, and the Suns now let him defend Pierce.

But Hill still can't get the pinnacle Pierce, and he also made a foul.

It's a pity that Pierce was still angry just now, and even missed a free throw.

You can't blame others for this. Athletes can only accept their fate if their hands are not strong at critical moments.

When the Suns were attacking, Russell took advantage of the opponent's fear of him making a foul, pulled it up directly, and scored 2 points neatly, and the Suns led by 4 points.

The Celtics were dangerous again, but this time they didn't give up.

At the critical moment, Joe Johnson's singles attracted attention and distributed the ball to Posey, who hit a three-pointer.

Posey really has a big heart. He has made great contributions, and the score gap between the two sides has become 1 point again.

It's just that the game time is running out now.
