Chapter 1057 The Heart of an Absolute Champion
The game between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Clippers has reached the final quarter.

The Clippers dug a 19-point hole for themselves in the first half, but in the third quarter, the Clippers recovered 13 points by relying on extreme offensive methods.

The two sides have entered the decisive fourth quarter.

This kind of game with tight scores is to compare the lineups of both sides, which side has more experienced players, and which side has stronger star players.

Obviously in this regard, the Celtics are very strong.

After all, they have the "Big Three".

In the middle of the fourth quarter, relying on Pierce's mid-range jumper, Garnett's two consecutive blocks and Ray Allen's conversion three-pointer, the three played their best skills to help the Celtics rebuild. A 9-point lead.

With less than half a quarter left in the game, the advantage of 9 points is already great.

"Dum~!!"

Lan Shengli quickly called a timeout.

The Celtics have a tendency to "close the game", which Lan Shengli does not want to see.

"Hey~, we need to be clear about our tactics~!!, we need to determine the tone of the game, we have to put more pressure on the opponent, just like in the third quarter, everyone should be more determined and patient~ !!, the opponent’s interior is not very good to attack, so we should try our best to find shooting opportunities from the outside~!!”

Lan Shengli reminded the players.

After the timeout, the Clippers also changed back to the previous normal starting lineup.

Just swapped Livingston for Farmar.

Lan Shengli still wanted to protect the inside line.

"According to Rivers' coaching characteristics and style, at this stage, he definitely hopes that the team can attack the inside line more. In this case, the height of the inside line must be strengthened. After all, the game time is limited, and we now want gifts to reduce points. Poor, we have to strengthen our defense, and pray that we can score more three-pointers~!!"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

"Swipe~!!!"

The progress of the game was indeed as Lan Shengli expected.

On the first attack back from a timeout, Farmar made a sudden shot with the help of Bass' pick-and-roll without the switch player in place, and the ball made a hollow hit again.

The point difference was back to six points.

As for the Celtics, they were indeed attacking the inside like Lan Shengli had guessed before.

But after all, Jordan has already got a very full rest in the third quarter, so he provides a good ability to protect the frame on the defensive end.

The Celtics made many attacks at the basket to no avail.

"Swipe~!!!"

There is also Bath with plenty of energy.

Here Bass hit another dry high jumper against Garnett.

"Duang~!!!"

Bass's performance continued. Bass, who had been holding back for more than a quarter, used a shot fake to shake Garnett's defense this time, and then went straight to the basket and dunked successfully.

The Clippers came back from a timeout and played a 7:0, with only two points left. This time there was really only one goal difference.

"Dum~!!!"

Rivers called the third-to-last timeout of the game.

The difference of two points is basically a non-existent difference.

"The next round, Rondo holds the ball, screens with Jermaine~!!, and then~~"

Rivers held the tactical board, drew and talked.

At this point in the game, it seems superfluous to say words of encouragement.

Instead, arrange some specific tactics for the players, and the most important thing is to be able to score the ball~! !
Then let's see if the Celtics can widen the gap again.

The game restarts here, let's see what kind of tactics Rivers has arranged for the team.

As Rivers said before, Rondo dribbled the ball and played a pick-and-roll with O'Neal.

After Jermaine O'Neal went down to attract the defense, Rondo passed back to Pierce who received the ball from a high position.

After Pierce received the ball, he immediately faked a shot.
After all, when Pierce shoots normally, he basically shoots upside down, so when he makes fake moves, it is easy for the opponent to be deceived.

This time it was rookie George who was fooled.

George flew towards him, and Pierce immediately went up to meet him.

"Beep~!!!"

After Pierce collided with George in the air and made a shooting action, the referee immediately blew his whistle and made a three-point foul.

Created a three-point foul, and Rivers' tactics this time were considered a success.

Annoyed, George held his head in his hands and looked at the technical platform not far away with a very regretful expression.

George paid the price for his youth, which is also the tuition fee that young players need to pay.

"M~V~P~!!"

"M~V~P~!!"

Here Pierce came to the free throw line and prepared to make a free throw, and the audience shouted, this is the greatest respect for Pierce.

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

Pierce hit three free throws steadily, and the point difference came to five points again.

"The Celtics are really a team with great resilience~!! If it were any other team, they might have panicked if they were chased down to two points with a lead of nearly 20 points. , but the Celtics are still playing step by step, and they can still score the ball in the most efficient and smart way, this is the characteristic of a team with the heart of a champion~!!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"But it doesn't matter, since we can catch up to two points, we can still continue to chase~!! Besides, there is still enough time, because of the physical advantages of Jordan and Bass, we really have a chance now~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to think.

While speaking, the Clippers have already attacked here.

Because Bass has a good touch, the ball quickly came to Bass after the positional attack started.

Facing Garnett, Bass made two consecutive shot fakes, but this time Garnett didn't make any moves, and looked very intently at the ball in Bass' hands, like a hungry wolf staring at its prey. I won't even blink~
The other Clippers players here were not idle either. The double screens of George and Jordan created opportunities for Farmar to catch the ball.

Seeing this, Bass immediately made a big diagonal pass after jumping up.

Because the pass line is long, Bass turned up the pass line, but~! !
Rondo, who has a very high golf quotient, immediately made a prediction. After leaping high, he interfered with the ball's travel route.

After touching Rondo's big palm, the ball flew towards the technical table.

The Clippers players here have given up fighting, but Rondo has not given up.

Rondo moved towards the ball flying towards the technical table, and made a goalkeeper to save a penalty kick.

Rondo's body was completely horizontal in the air.

Seeing this, the staff at the technical desk immediately evaded.

Rondo scooped the ball into the field with one palm~~
"Boom~~"

Although Rondo fell sideways on the equipment on the technical table, the ball was successfully rescued.

And this action of catching the ball was very powerful, and the ball flew towards the top arc three-point line.

It just so happened that Pierce, who was there, controlled the ball.

"My God~, this attitude of fighting for every ball~"
