NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 20 To enter or not to enter?
Although this dramatic scene on the court is destined to become the focus after today's game, after all, the game will continue.

Everyone was evacuated to the half-court range, leaving only Pierce to execute free throws.

According to regulations, Pierce has three free throw opportunities, which is undoubtedly worse for the Bobcats whose coach was expelled.

sigh~
Pierce made a solid first free throw.

bang bang bang

The basketball bumped a few times at Blueneck, but it still entered the net and made the second free throw.

This also makes the two teams battle into:
99: 99 flat

Boston's TD North Shore Garden Arena, filled with green, became extremely quiet, except for Bickerstaff's yelling from the sidelines, the sound of pins falling could also be heard.

Pierce adjusted his breathing, slammed the ball a few times, and raised his hand for the third free throw.

sigh~
The ball is still hitting steadily.

99:100
"Wow~~"

The entire home court was instantly ignited, and the huge contrast between the front and the back made Wallace frown as he faintly felt the loud noise in his ears.

The Celtics managed to overtake by 21 point 1 seconds before the end of the game, and they still had the ball in the next round.

Due to the conversion of the ball due to a technical foul, the Celtics will serve in the frontcourt, which also makes it impossible for the Bobcats to use a full-court press. They can only try to force the Celtics to make a serve error. (Throwing the throw-in is a problem in the world.)
(Zhou Qi: Who is talking?!)

At this time, the Bobcats still had a timeout, and Bickerstaff had to save it for the offensive end. Otherwise, in such a fierce confrontation, it would be difficult for this young army to stabilize the situation.

This also makes the Bobcats have a high probability of deliberately fouling, sending the Celtics to the free throw line, and keeping enough time to execute the final attack.

Bickerstaff stood on the sidelines and explained to the players: "Defend!! See if you can grab the ball. If you can't grab the ball, you must foul after 15 seconds. Try to force the ball to the opposite big man. If the ball reaches the opposite big man, foul the first time!!!"

The Celtics were served by veteran glove Payton in the frontcourt, and Wallace faced the non-stop running Pierce, trying his best to ensure that he would not lose his position.

This also forced Pierce has not had a good chance to catch the ball.

Seeing that the Celtics were about to serve for 5 seconds, Payton sent the ball to Lavron in the bottom corner.

Brezek immediately chose to hug the opponent and sent Lavron to the free throw line.

Standing on the sidelines, Bickerstaff breathed a sigh of relief, and then he just focused on arranging offensive tactics. Before leaving the field, Liu Rui warned himself that the worst situation had indeed happened, and he had already executed it well.

Lavron Ci stands at the free throw line and makes the first free throw

Bang!
The ball bounced out of the box! !
"YES!!"

Whether it was the Bobcat generals on the court or the substitute players off the court, they all cheered and encouraged each other and cheered for their teammates.

Even Bickerstaff's hands were sweating, and he squeezed his arms hard.

Lavronci wailed and high-fived his teammates, and adjusted the second free throw.

After aiming for a long time, he made the second free throw.

shuh~
This time the ball hit the ball steadily.

The score on the field came to:
99:101
Bobcats assistant coach Bickerstaff signaled to call a timeout, and the referee blew to stop the game.

With 19.6 seconds left on the court, the Bobcats trailed by two points and had plenty of time to complete this last attack.

Who will have the last laugh in this game is anyone's guess.

On the other hand, Liu Rui, who had already returned to the locker room, was sitting on the bench, staring intently at the relay TV in front of him.

The palm of the hand was clenched so hard that the fingernails had already dug into the flesh.

"Don't hand over the tactics to Kapono."

Even though Rivers is still a young guy, as a reborn, no one knows this guy better than Liu Rui! !

But the small voice is destined not to come out of this narrow room, and all Liu Rui can do now is watch.

"Listen well everyone, this is the home court of the Celtics. If we continue to stalemate with them, I am afraid that we will lose this game with a high probability in the end."

"And because the point difference is only 2 points now, the Celtics will never give up their defense against 2-pointers."

"So, after a while, Wallace took the ball in an arc to control the time, and Brezek and House blocked a series of pick-and-rolls for Kapono, forcing the opponent to switch defenses or have loopholes."

"If you switch to defending Brezek and you hit the basket, the opponent will definitely shrink the defense. See the opportunity and play out to the open position as soon as possible."

"If Wallace didn't switch the ball and you still hit Blazek, you made a fake move down the line, looking for an opportunity to give the outside line, with you as the absolute starting point, do you understand?"

"The purpose is very clear. Our goal is to cheat two points, but what we actually want is three points!!"

"The referee's call in this game is obvious to all, so we must make a quick decision. We must pay attention to our feet when we get the ball!"

"I'm afraid they will punish you for walking, so try to explain clearly with your feet, and don't make too many movements with your shooting hands."

"Finally!! I want to say, your coach Liu Rui, you should know what kind of person he is usually."

"But even your coach Liu Rui couldn't bear today's penalty and was sent off in the end, so everyone!! I have been with Liu Rui for so long, and I know there is a saying in China called "Don't steam steamed buns to win your breath"!"

"For the sake of your coaches, for yourselves, and for venting your anger, go! Go and slap them in the face."

"Come to 123 to win!!!"

With Bickerstaff's arrangement, the players' state of mind seemed to have undergone a certain change, if before this, this was still a preseason game.

For them now, this game has become even more important.

Fighting for the coach, for myself, and for the essence of basketball.

Back on the field, Bickerstaff replaced Eli with Karim, a left-handed thrower.

Brezek served from the sideline, and Wallace got rid of the defensive pocket and successfully received the ball.

Steadily guarding the ball in the middle has been observing the time and teammates' screens.

Finally, with 7 seconds left in the time, everyone in the Bobcats moved! !

With the help of House and Brezek's double screen, Kapono ran out from the bottom corner to catch the ball, but Lavron Ci and Pierce were double-teamed at the first time, and the main defense was Kapono's shot! !

Kapono hurriedly distributed the ball to Blazek who was evacuated, and Gugliotta also emptied Wallace in time to defend against Blazek.

The basic skills of the European league background caused Brezek to pass the ball to Wallace who was open on the three-point line without hesitation at the first time!
A set of tactics ran down, and with only a few seconds left in the time, Wallace held the ball at the top of the arc in the middle, and took a slight aim with no defense in front of him.

Take an open three-point shot and throw the ball...
