Chapter 117 Battle of the Meat Grinder
5 minutes and 20 seconds, a score difference of 5 points.
Bulls 100:105 Celtics, the Celtics finally requested a timeout.
At the last moment, both sides once again replaced their main players on the court.
Su Yi and Pierce, Rose and Rondo began the final peak showdown.
Long guides and controls the basketball and directs his teammates to position themselves.
Pierce blocked Su Yi's position to reach the basketball, and the audience cheered loudly to cheer Pierce up.
With the experience of successful defense just now, Su Yi's momentum also gained the upper hand.
He continued to use the same posture as before, using his strength to lock in his defensive position, and looking for any possible steal opportunities.
Pierce's attack just now was frustrated, and now he is a little wary of Su Yi's breakthrough.
Su Yi's defense made Pierce very uncomfortable. He couldn't find a good opportunity to shoot, so he could only shoot hastily while losing balance in the air.
The basketball jumped out of the basket.
Noah steadily collected the rebound. Rondo wanted to run over and steal the ball, but was discovered on the spot.
Director Zhang was extremely excited and said: "Excellent defense, Su Yi defended two Pierces in a row! What we need now is the success rate, there is still time, we are not in a hurry! Try to score this goal, there is only one goal difference left."
.”
At the critical moment, the Bulls players were in a positional battle, and Su Yi was lurking in the penalty area, ready to run back to the three-point line and take action at any time.
Rondo reached out and pointed to the right corner, reminding Garnett not to leave there.
Su Yi understood that the Bulls' tactics had been seen through, so he pulled him out to set up a pick-and-roll for Rose.
Rondo was blocked tightly, and Rose took advantage of the rare opportunity to drive directly into the paint.
Garnett stepped forward to defend and jumped high to block the shot.
Although the serious injury has not yet healed, Su Yi still saw his terrifying bounce when he jumped with all his strength, and the big hands in the air blocked the clouds and the sun.
Ross's situation is quite dangerous.
Soon Su Yi found that his worries were unnecessary.
Just when the basketball was about to be blocked, Rose almost glided in the air, twisted to dodge, avoided Garnett's block, and then dunked into the basket.
Bulls 102:105 Celtics, the point difference is only three points.
Su Yi celebrated with excitement as he collided with Rose in the air.
"Oh, this is a competition of absolute talent. The NBA is really not something that ordinary people can play. This game is purely based on personal ability. It is so difficult!" Director Zhang couldn't help but sigh.
Su Yi then directed everyone to quickly return to defense, because Rondo's counterattack was very fast. At this most critical moment, neither side had a chance to breathe.
Garnett stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll.
Rondo used the screen to bypass Rose and get inside.
Garnett rushed to the free throw line in an instant, preparing for a big mid-range shot.
The Celtics have practiced this pick-and-roll tactic countless times, and the basketball is being passed as always.
Just when Garnett's fingers were getting closer to the basketball, Su Yi appeared again.
At the most extreme distance, he almost flew out sideways, confiscated the basketball in the air, and then passed the ball to Rose.
"Su Yi used his accurate prediction to break the Celtics' pick-and-roll cooperation!"
"This is really a desperate Chinese man. He just threw himself out and grabbed the basketball."
Both commentators praised it one after another.
After all, the Celtics are a championship-worthy and well-trained team.
After losing the ball, he quickly returned to defense without any regrets.
Rondo stepped forward to defend Rose.
Noah of the Bulls is in position inside, and Hinrich is ready to respond on the outside.
Pierce began to move forward to defend Su Yi, and Su Yi could hardly find a chance to catch the ball.
With 4 minutes and 40 seconds left and a three-point difference, the game has almost entered its most critical moment.
The Celtics blocked the inside line and the game completely turned into a hand-to-hand battle.
Coach Zhang said: "We must play resolutely now. It is very difficult for both sides to score every point. We must be tougher and actively cause fouls on the opposite side."
Today's confrontation was very strong, and the referee's penalty scale was relatively loose.
Facing the tight defense inside, the Bulls' basketball could only falter on the outside.
24 seconds gradually passed.
The intensity of the competition in 2009 was inherently high, coupled with the referee's loose standards, Pierce and Su Yi pushed each other hard in the paint.
Seeing that there was not much time left, Su Yi squeezed away Pierce and ran to the outside.
At the last moment, Su Yi had no time to think and took the ball.
Pierce immediately swooped up, blocking Su Yi's sight.
Su Yi tried his best to ensure his stability in the air, relying on muscle memory to find the feel and take action.
Whoosh!
"Three points of life extension! Three points of life extension!"
"What a pitcher!!!!"
The moment the basketball hit the net, the two commentators on the sports channel were almost hysterical.
Pierce served as the backdrop, standing helplessly with his arms crossed.
Facing such a terrifying pitcher, the Celtics home audience collectively shut down.
They had obviously defended to the extreme, but at the last moment Su Yi escaped from a desperate situation. This kind of goal is the most troublesome for the defender.
4 minutes and 16 seconds.
The Green Army quickly adjusted from its isolation, and Rondo organized the attack.
Garnett dropped to the low post. Facing Noah's defense and Brad Miller's double-team, he jumped through the gap between the two.
Pull-up jump shot, solid basketball hit.
Garnett beat his chest, fought and retreated, and prepared to return to defense.
The Bulls beat the Celtics 105:107, falling behind by two points again.
The defensive intensity of both sides escalated to its peak at the last moment.
Pierce seemed to be glued to Su Yi.
Unable to find an opportunity to pass the ball, Rose pushed Rondo inside.
Rose originally wanted to force a foul, but he hesitated and decided to throw the ball, and the basketball bounced out of the basket.
Garnett jumped high and collected the rebound steadily
Rose hammered her thigh regretfully and began to retreat.
The Bulls tightened their defense, and Su Yi also circled in front of Pierce this time, denying him a chance to catch the ball and play in isolation.
When no one was prepared, Ray Allen shot a three-pointer directly from the outside.
The trajectory of this basketball looked very gentle, and the hearts of Bulls fans were directly in their throats.
Fortunately, the basketball bounce missed the backboard, and Su Yi got a rebound above Pierce's head.
It can be seen that the physical fitness of the players on the court has dropped significantly, and their shooting percentage cannot be guaranteed.
The players of the two teams struggled against each other, and Hinrich missed a mid-range shot.
Pierce forcefully hit Su Yi, turned over in a twisted posture, and still struck the iron.
Under the influence of decreased physical fitness and increased confrontation intensity, it is extremely difficult to score a point.
Switching offense, Rose holds the ball to organize, and Su Yi uses the screen to run back to the outside.
Director Zhang: "Hey! Give it to Su Yi! Give it to Su Yi quickly! Give it to Su Yi quickly!"
Su Yi received the basketball one step away from the three-point line. Pierce let go of the defense and raised his hand to shoot without any hesitation.
Director Zhang said excitedly: "Su Yi, take action!"
The basketball passed through the net like a scalpel, and Su Yi blew on his hot hands.
The Celtics home court instantly erupted in wailing, and the Bulls fans in front of the TV screamed.
In the last 1 minute and 08 seconds, the Bulls overtook the Celtics 108:107.
Chapter completed!
