Starting with 2006

Chapter 94 He is the key

Three threats in front of the frame followed by a tentative step followed by a false shot. Seeing the defender in front of him unmoved, Pierce took his left foot as the axis, turned his back and shook his shoulder continuously, then suddenly turned over and shot a jumper backward , hit!
That's what Paul Pierce has been doing for years, and it's what he does best.

But now that he hit the goal, he didn't celebrate like before. Instead, he looked dignified. Looking at Gao Tian who scored another goal in front of him but was still expressionless, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is he really just a rookie?
As one of the strongest post-up singles masters in active service, Pierce feels that this rookie is really difficult to deal with, with a strong body and quick response. His continuous singles seem to be calm but it takes too much energy and mind. It might just be experience.

No matter how provocative and mocking he is, he doesn't care, but responds to himself with his own counterattack again and again, which makes him feel like seeing his old opponent Kobe, and he can't help but feel excited. Although he is very interested in talking to him Continue to play like this, but the conditions of the team do not allow it!

42: 50!

There are less than 2 minutes left in the second quarter. It is only a matter of one quarter for the Celtics to go from being majestic at the beginning to being exhausted now. Garnett scored 18 points strongly in the first quarter, leading the Celtics. The Specialists firmly suppressed the Suns, but his shooting percentage dropped directly in the second quarter. So far, he has only scored 5 points on 1 of 3 shots.

Now the sun has begun to show their fangs that they have been hiding all the time. Pierce feels it, Rivers feels it, and all the Celtics feel it. They all know that the next sun's offensive will be as violent as a tide. So just now Pierce no longer considered the issue of physical strength, and continued to use difficult scores to continue the life of the Celtics.

Pierce couldn't help flashing a trace of worry in his eyes, could they really survive the Sun's offensive?

Once the point difference further expands in the second half, it will be very difficult!
Is it going to be a decisive battle in the third quarter?
He doesn't know what to do now, the tactics are difficult to run, and the singles consume physical strength. Now the Celtics have more than half of their weapons, but the sun is still firmly suppressing the Celtics with their running and bombardment. Is there anything else we can do to crack this situation?
Although the Celtics' defense is really hard, they are still forced by the sun to make a choice, inside or outside, choose one?
Rivers and D'Antoni chose the same outside line, but what makes it uncomfortable is that Stoudemire did show his strongest strength, playing with the Spurs with the demeanor of averaging 37 points per game, coupled with Nash's Weird and well-placed assists, from the growing cheers in the American West Arena, we can know what the current situation of the Suns is like.

And the protagonist of this mission that Gao Tian has been paying attention to is also obediently standing at the top of the arc. Up to now, he has not made a single shot, which made Gao Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And Rondo himself is also very helpless. Everyone in the Celtics knows what Rondo's shooting looks like, so they can shoot what they can, and pass it to Pierce or Ray Allen if they can't. He didn't dare to act casually with Firth's instruction!

Originally, I don’t know if I can be the starter in the next game. If this game is messed up again, I don’t know if I can see myself sitting on the bench in the next game. Thinking of this, Rondo looked at Nash with grief and anger. What are you doing so far away from me? !

Nash has been harassing Garnett, who is attacking Stoudemire on the inside, two meters away from him.

Garnett saw that Nash directly touched the ball in his hand and interrupted his rhythm. He quickly took advantage of the moment Nash and Stoudemire surrounded him and passed the ball to Rondo, who had no defenders in front of him.

Rondo, who got the ball, subconsciously wanted to pass it to Ray Allen, who was in a better position, but when he saw Lagabel who was eager to try beside Ray Allen, he stopped instantly, and the ball could not be passed!
He looked up at the timer, and there were three seconds left. Pierce, who was being held back by Nash, was a little impatient.

Regardless of the cloudy and uncertain face of Rivers next to him, he stood directly outside the three-point line and shot, imagining Gao Tian's shooting feeling during training, and he was deliberately pursuing that smooth posture.

Rivers and all the Celtics players couldn't help but sigh, don't say anything, grab rebounds!

At the moment Rondo made a shot, everyone rushed towards the basket either helplessly or excitedly, and Stoudemire, who had locked his position in advance, couldn't help being a little proud, and the rebound was +1!

However, at the corner of Gao Tian's twitching mouth, and in the eyes of Rivers and D'Antoni, whose faces were in sharp contrast, the ball slipped into the net so smoothly.

Stoudemire looked at the ball that fell into his hand in a daze. This ball actually scored?

Except for Gao Tian, ​​everyone couldn't believe it. This player who can't shoot two points can actually make a three-pointer?
A man with a poor 20% two-point shooting rate made his first three-pointer in his career. In the most difficult time for the team, including Rondo himself, it was unbelievable. Did he really shoot it himself?
He quickly lowered his head to look at his hand, and it hasn't changed!

Looking at Rondo with a surprised face, Gao Tian was speechless, and his mood was very complicated. Does he count as an enemy?

But everyone thought it was an accident. No one really took him seriously. When everyone is lucky, this ball should be just luck!

The Suns looked back and it was the invincible pick-and-roll between Nash and Stoudemire. Stoudemire made a steady mid-range shot and scored his 20th point. Stoudemire, who hadn’t received such treatment for a long time, was very excited and also a little sad. He is the big player in the team, why has he fallen to such a point now?

The way he looked at Gao Tian was also a bit complicated. Although he recognized Gao Tian's strength, it didn't mean that he could fully accept this reality!

From an insider who should have averaged 25+10 per game to now only getting 18+8 data since the start of the game, he fell directly from an all-star forward to a blue-collar forward. The gap is not small.

Now, let's go one step at a time!

After all, the team's current goal is to win the championship, and we will see what the future holds when we win the championship.

Rivers looked helplessly at the anxious situation on the court, and fell into the endless loop just now. The players Pierce and Ray Allen were tightly entangled. Garnett's current physical strength is obviously out of order, which caused his The hit rate is really touching. Seeing that the attack time is approaching, Rondo stood at the top of the arc with a blank face, Rivers sighed secretly, and suddenly remembered the ball that Rondo just made.

Thinking of this, a surge of hope suddenly arose in his heart, what if?
Perhaps he is the key?
"Rajan, don't hesitate, vote!"

Seeing Rivers yelling at him, Rondo woke up instantly, another three seconds!

He cheered himself up, and when Nash was about to return to defense, he thought of Gao Tian's shooting feeling in his mind and shot directly.

Everyone was dumbfounded watching the ball roll smoothly into the basket, but for some reason, all Phoenix people felt that this arc seemed very familiar?

Rivers couldn't restrain his excitement any longer, and shook his fist fiercely into the air, venting his depression in his heart. The key to this deadlock has been found!

Now, let's see what you do!
