The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

When Pierce received a pass from Rondo at the top arc of the three-point line, Beverly stuck up and stuck Pierce's waist.

Feeling the strength from Beverly, Pierce frowned secretly.

This rookie is slightly short in height, but he has a lot of experience in dealing with tall opponents, so it will be difficult for him to turn around if he is stuck in this position, and it is not convenient for him to use his strength to take off and shoot.

He tried to adjust his position several times, but failed to get rid of Beverly. Pierce knew that if he wanted to score, he had to shoot under Beverly's entanglement and interference.

Thinking this way, Pierce passed the basketball back to Rondo who ran back to meet him, then turned and ran towards the penalty area.

Rondo, who received the ball, didn't stick to the ball, so he took advantage of the opportunity to hang the basketball to Garnett inside. At this time, Garnett's physical fitness was running low and he was unable to do the work of the main attack point, but he immediately handed the ball to him. Passed to Pierce who ran past him, and then helped Pierce block Beverley who was behind.

Taking advantage of this little gap, Pierce immediately took off and shot.

However, at the moment he shot, a big hand shot out and slapped the basketball hard.

"Leonard!"

Leonard, who had to man-mark Rondo due to a misplaced pick-and-roll, ran over at some point, and gave Pierce a big hot pot at the right time!

The basketball was slapped by Leonard, and it happened to fall into George's hands. George didn't hesitate, and immediately launched a fast break.

"Not good! Come back to defense!"

Garnett was taken aback, and quickly wanted to reach out to grab George, but George's start speed was too fast, and he couldn't pull it.

The Wizards' fast break is the fastest and sharpest. Even if you look at the entire league, I am afraid that only the Heat's James Wade combination can be slightly comparable.

While George was sprinting, Thompson, Beverly and others also flew out like arrows from the string. The only Celtics who had time to return to defense were Rondo and Ray Allen.

3 to 2 in the frontcourt!

George didn't pass the ball, because Rondo and Ray Allen were afraid of Thompson and Beverly's long-range shooting ability and didn't dare to get too close to him, so George didn't hesitate at all, and took off directly one step before the free throw line and headed towards the basket Then leap away!

"boom!"

A powerful dunk made the entire arena boil!

91:85! The lead was extended to 6 points! There are only more than 2 minutes left before the end of the game!

The Celtics began to get impatient.

Rondo tried to use his speed to hit the basket, but it was difficult to do so under Beverly's defense. Beverly kept in mind Wang Xiao's advice to him, defending Rondo only against breakthroughs and not shots. Very solid, Rondo didn't dare to shoot from beyond the three-point line. This season, he averaged only 23.8% of his three-pointers per game in the regular season, and this was the result of shooting without defense.

At such a critical moment now, he dare not gamble with his ridiculous three-point shooting percentage, even if Beverly completely empties him from outside the three-point line.

After his teammates searched for many opportunities but failed, Rondo could only hand the ball to Garnett, who would play hard inside.

Although his physical fitness has bottomed out, Garnett is Garnett after all. After dribbling the ball twice with his back against McGee, Garnett suddenly turned over and shot backwards. Although McGee reacted quickly to take off and block the shot, But still not in time, the basketball jumped into the basket after bouncing twice on the basket.

At 91:87, the point difference changed back to 4 points.

Wang Xiao called a timeout, arranged for Curry to play again, and formulated an offensive tactic.

The next ball may directly determine the outcome of the game.

The pressure on the Wizards is actually not great. After all, they are leading 3:1 now, and they have a huge advantage. Even if they lose this game, the score will only become 3:2. Besides, they are now in the lead.

"Stephen, this shot is up to you. Others open up the space and create singles opportunities for Curry."

Wang Xiao thought about it, and decided to let Curry execute this crucial shot.

Although Curry's performance in the previous series was not very good, there is no doubt that he is the first core of the team. Even if George has a higher success rate in attacking the basket, Wang Xiao still prefers to let Curry Come on, use this method to exercise Curry's key ball ability.

"Okay, coach!"

Curry nodded and agreed without any hesitation or hesitation.

The timeout ended, players from both sides returned to the field, George passed the ball to Curry from the bottom line, and then everyone pulled out to the outside line.

Seeing this scene, Rivers felt slightly relieved.

The Wizards actually want Curry to play singles, which is obviously the best result. Facing Rondo's defense, Curry only performed better in one game in the entire series, and in this game, under high pressure Under defense, Curry has shot 7 of 17 shots so far, and his shooting percentage is only 41%, which is far lower than the usual efficiency value.

As long as Rondo can defend this goal and then score the next attack, the point difference will be reduced to 2 points, and the chance of a comeback will still be there!

...

Curry slowly dribbled the ball in the top arc, his eyes fixed on Rondo in front of him. The game time passed by one minute and one second. When there were about 8 seconds left before the end of the 24-second attack time, Curry moved. .

He dribbled the ball under his crotch several times in a row, trying to make a breakthrough, but he was as stable as Mount Tai when he hit Rondo.

Seeing this, Curry dribbled the ball directly to the left and broke through. It wasn't until this time that Rondo moved to stick up.

The moment Rondo moved, Curry slammed the ball back, took a step back and pulled out of the three-point line, and then made a quick three-pointer.

The experienced Rondo seemed to have seen through Curry's thoughts long ago, he stopped almost at the same time, and then rushed forward to cover his eyes and interfere.

Rondo's defense is very good, it can almost be described as watertight. Except that he has not completed the block, he has achieved the ultimate that a defensive player can do. From the perspective of Wang Xiao on the sidelines, his big hands have completely covered it. All of Curry's sights.

However, after the basketball flew a certain distance in the air, it still fell into the net with great precision.

Three points hit!

Curry still held his outstretched arm high, with a cold light in his eyes.

94:87, the point difference becomes 7 points! And the game time is only 1 minute and 57 seconds left!

Murder!

On the sidelines, Celtics head coach Rivers turned blue. Although he hesitated for a moment, he still called the last timeout.

There is no way, Curry forced this three-pointer against the defense. Even the Celtics, which are all experienced veterans, have been severely hit. Even if it is to stabilize the morale of the army, Rivers has to make The precious time-out that remains is called out.

But at the same time as the timeout was called, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart. He knew very well that it might be difficult for the team to get over this hurdle.
