There was a beep, the referee blew his whistle, and the ball was dead on the field.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and stepped onto the floor of the Key Arena at this time.
He appeared on the field, dragging his sick body, which can be regarded as fighting while sick.
"In the last 4 minutes and 37 seconds of the game, Doc Rivers actually replaced China Lin?!"
"It is said that China Lin was ill before this game and therefore did not start the game. But now Doc Rivers has replaced China Lin at the critical moment that determines the outcome of the game. It is really a bit bold."
"It can only be said that at the critical moment, Doc Rivers discovered that the only defensive player the Celtics team could trust was China Lin. If he wanted to win, he had no choice."
Lin Yu has already stood in front of Ray Allen. Ray is a basketball player who doesn't have any unnecessary words. He almost never talks trash.
Facing such an opponent, Lin Yu felt a moment of tranquility.
But then, the noise caused by the fans on the sidelines suddenly came over, squeezing Lin Yu's eardrums crazily.
"Get off!"
"Thunder will definitely kick your balls out!"
"You stand in front of the reaper, and thunder will reap your life!"
"..."
Lin Yu took a deep breath again. On the court, the SuperSonics had already sent a sideline ball, and the person holding the ball was their main point guard Luke Ridnour.
The SuperSonics team is very strange. The team is full of good old guys like Ray Allen, Ridnour, and Lewis.
The atmosphere among the fans is very lively and sometimes unbearably rude.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the fan atmosphere in the entire northwest region is very hot. The Jazz, Nuggets, and the torn city Portland are all like this. Perhaps this is also related to the geographical location. The folk customs in the northwest of the United States are very popular.
fierce.
Lin Yu had filtered out all the noise outside the court, and all that was left in front of him was Ray Allen, who kept running.
Ray Allen kept running, shuttling between screens and pick-and-rolls one after another. His physical ability seemed to be unlimited, and his running route was also very weird.
"This guy is a top off-the-ball player."
Lin Yu felt powerless for a while, but he still followed up, gritting his teeth and clinging to Ray Allen.
What he didn't know was that Ray Allen was also praising Lin Yu's clinging defense.
"This guy's defense is too tenacious!"
The round was about to end, and Ray Allen failed to take a great opportunity. Ridnour made his own shot, and the mid-range shot hit the frame with a bang.
Ricky Davis rushed to grab the rebound, and the Celtics' opportunity came.
"Ricky Davis' rebound, the Celtics are still 6 points behind, and the opportunity to chase points is here."
Lin Yu walked off the flank and rushed to the bottom corner.
Ricky Davis, who was holding the ball, rushed to the frontcourt and immediately gave the ball to Pierce.
In the second half, Pierce was already a very normal Pierce. As soon as he held the ball, he immediately attracted most of the Sonics' defense.
On the defensive end, Lin Yu's opponent is Ridnour.
Ray Allen is the Sonics' best perimeter defender, and he went to defend Pierce.
Facing Ray Allen's defense, Pierce chose to push forward with his back, which is one of his best offensive methods.
Turn your back, take two steps back, suddenly turn around and shoot a jump shot.
Whoosh!
The Celtics bench instantly boiled, white towels were flying in the sky, and the Key Arena was also booed at this moment.
"Truth hit this mid-range shot, and the Celtics' deficit was reduced to 4 points."
Returning to the defensive end, Lin Yu faced Ray Allen again.
Ray Allen still started running silently, but he found that no matter how he ran, he could not escape Lin Yu's pursuit.
"It's not okay to continue fighting like this."
Ray Allen can feel that his hand is hot. He has already scored 36 points, and he doesn't want his scoring to stop here.
Gritting his teeth, Ray Allen's speed once again increased by a level.
"Lei appeared in the bottom corner, but China Lin followed up again, but there was still no chance..."
With a bang, Lewis' shot went off, and Perkins roared to grab the rebound and then passed the ball to Pierce.
Pierce controlled the frontcourt with the ball, accelerated a breakthrough, and attracted almost all the Sonics' defense.
Ricky Davis on the left took a lunge, came out of the screen, received Pierce's pass through the crowd, and jumped up.
Bang!
There was a loud bang, and a huge exclamation came from the Key Arena.
"Ricky Davis received a pass from Pierce and dunked!"
"Another two points were scored, and the point difference was only 2 points. The Celtics' opportunity appeared!"
After two consecutive rounds without scoring, the Sonics' offensive momentum was curbed, and everyone turned their attention to the Chinese Lin on the court.
"China Lin's debut was indeed effective, but Ray Allen was misfired."
The SuperSonics served from the backcourt and quickly pushed past half court.
"The Sonics have to score, otherwise the little advantage they have been saving will be gone."
Ray Allen also knew this, so as soon as halftime passed, he immediately changed his playing style, stopped where he was, and then opened his hand for the ball.
"Give me the ball."
Luke Ridnour passed the ball to Ray Allen, who set up a triple threat to face Lin Yu's single defense.
Lin Yu knows very well that Ray Allen is not only a good runner without the ball and a top pitcher, he is also an excellent singles player.
Ray Allen's singles were straight forward, not fancy at all. He picked up the speed and ran over Lin Yu.
Then, under the entanglement of Lin Yu, he made another emergency stop, jumped into the air, raised his hand and threw the ball.
Lin Yu turned around to interfere, and a pair of big hands had already firmly covered Ray Allen's face.
"Lei's breakthrough, he was constantly entangled by China Lin, he made an emergency stop and took action directly. China Lin's defense was so good!"
Whoosh!
The basketball bounced into the basket, bringing up a white net.
"But Ray's mid-range shot still went in, beautiful! He is indeed a superstar!"
"Chinese Lin tried his best on this goal, but unfortunately he still couldn't guard Lei. Lei used his precise shooting to help the SuperSonics stabilize the situation on the court."
"Now, the score difference is back to 4 points, and there are 2 minutes and 57 seconds left before the end of the game."
Lin Yu was breathing heavily. He was not in peak condition at this moment, but he also knew that even at his peak, he couldn't prevent the ball just now.
Star players are star players, and there is a reason why they can earn tens of millions of dollars in annual salary.
In the Celtics' offense, Pierce quickly showed off the personal abilities of a star player. He walked to the low post with his bare hands, and after successfully gaining position, he caught the ball and turned around to beat Ray Allen for a layup and scored 2 points.
The score difference became 2 points again.
The SuperSonics once again served from the backcourt. Every ball now is critical. Ray Allen took over the ball again. He was in a hot state and really wanted to take over the game.
Against Lin Yu's defense, he shot another mid-range shot after a breakthrough, and Lin Yu's interference was in place again.
With a bang, the ball was struck.
The commentator shouted that the Celtics had a chance to equalize the score, but when they turned back to attack, Pierce failed to seize the opportunity and failed.
After going back and forth, the score difference is still 2 points.
Ray Allen once again played in singles. Facing Lin Yu's defense, he still made a strong shot.
With a bang, the iron struck again.
"One of three shots, plus being prevented from getting the ball in two rounds. These are the statistics contributed by Ray Allen after China Lin came on the scene."
Whoosh!
On the other side, Pierce hit a crucial mid-range shot amid cheers from the bench.
The score was evened just like that...
"Now that the two teams are evenly divided, the game has entered the most anxious moment!"
"This game was really exciting. Ray Allen fought against Truth and Ricky Davis alone, but at the last moment, he was stopped by China Lin to curb his offensive momentum."
"Who can win depends on the last 37 seconds."
From the outside, Ray Allen controls the ball and consumes time.
He has been guarded by Lin Yu and made 1 of 4 shots. Everyone is saying that he is no longer hot and the basketball at the last moment should be handed over to Rashard Lewis.
But he still chose to do it himself.
After shooting the basketball twice, Lin Yu suddenly took a tentative step and was shaken.
Then, Ray Allen jumped up and shot this three-pointer from outside the three-point line in an extremely standard posture.
Lin Yu, who was shaken off his center of gravity, jumped up, stretched his entire body, and once again covered Ray Allen's face with his extended right hand.
Whoosh!
With a bang, Key Arena went crazy.
"Ohgod! This is Ray Allen, this is the Thunder God!"
"He did it. Lei hit 1 of 4 shots and hit this crucial three-pointer. Now he has 2 of 5 shots. China Lin couldn't guard him!"
"In the last 19 seconds, the Celtics only had a chance to equalize the score..."
Facing the chance to tie the score, Pierce's three-pointer hit the frame.
With a buzz, the game is over...
"A wonderful game. For the SuperSonics, Ray Allen, who played like a god, scored 41 points. Facing China Lin, he made 2 of 5 shots. His efficiency declined, but he still hit the target.
That crucial three-pointer, he did it!"
"For the Celtics, this game was such a pity. Ricky Davis and Paul Pierce faced off against Ray Allen one after another. China Lin came on the scene at a critical moment to restrict Ray Allen, but in the end
, they still lost to Ray Allen’s three-pointer.”
"I have to say that for the two goals that Ray Allen scored against China Lin, China Lin's defense did its best. Unfortunately, he was facing an already superb Ray Allen."
On the court after the game, Lin Yu crossed his arms and stared at the big screen above his head.
The big screen replayed the last two goals of the game over and over again, the crucial three-pointer that Ray Allen made against his defense, and the three-pointer that Paul Pierce missed against the defense.
"If I were at my peak, Junzi Lei's three-pointer would have been blocked by me."
Lin Yu knew clearly that his reaction to that shot was a beat too slow. If he was in peak condition, he would never have been slower than that.
"After a while, I will be able to shoot all the key three-pointers facing the defense."
Chapter completed!
