James knocked down Yang Zhenxing, and the referee whistled for a foul on James
Yang Zhenxing quickly got up from the ground and continued to organize the offense after receiving the ball.
Yang Zhenxing took his time and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. In front of Yang Zhenxing was last year's rookie Cole. Cole looked dismissive of Yang Zhenxing. James was nearby and reminded Cole from time to time to concentrate.
Yang Zhenxing handed the ball to Garnett after halftime, and Garnett gave it to Yang Zhenxing. Even though it was just an ordinary pass, it contained a mystery.
Garnett's pass was extremely threatening. He did not pass it to Yang Zhenxing, but made a fake pass in the first pass. It looked like he was passing the ball to Terry on the left. Cole
He was knocked down all of a sudden, and Garnett quickly passed the ball to Yang Zhenxing.
Yang Zhenxing took the ball and shot, and with a swipe, it was a two-pointer from a long distance. The score on the court became 66 to 69. The Celtics were only three points behind.
Cole's pass went wrong and was intercepted by Terry
Terry held the ball and was not in a hurry to break quickly because James had returned to defense early. At this time, Terry directly stepped forward and it could be said that he was looking for death. Terry passed the ball to Yang Zhenxing. Yang Zhenxing and other players would come to the frontcourt and fall down.
Prepare to organize a half-court offense
Garnett and Lewis faced off
Lewis knocked Garnett to the ground in one fell swoop
The Dudu referee awarded Lewis a defensive foul.
Garnett then got up from the ground and rushed towards Lewis. These two people can be considered old rivals. Lewis had a conflict with Garnett when he was with the Magic.
This time, Garnett thought Lewis had committed a flagrant foul and rushed directly towards Lewis. The referee stepped between Garnett and Lewis in time.
Yang Zhenxing stood dumbly aside. Although he had seen many fights on the court, this was his first time in the NBA.
What should we do now? Yang Zhenxing rationally believes that this is a competition, and a fight will be detrimental to both parties.
At this time, Ray Allen acted as the peacemaker
Ray Allen rushed up and grabbed Garnett. Lewis committed a foul intentionally. He was the one who found trouble first. So when Ray Allen grabbed Garnett, Lewis didn't argue with Garnett anymore.
Garnett was still chattering, "Kevin, come on, the game is on." Ray Allen said in Garnett's ear.
Wade and Bosh are not worried about a fight between Garnett and Lewis.
Wade tilted his head, leaned into Bosh's ear and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen your teammates trying to fight against your opponent?"
"Haha, Devin, this time we can see the world," Bosh said with a smile.
"Chris, with Allen here we don't have to worry about fighting with the Celtics guys in the future?"
"That's not necessarily true. No one can tell with those old guys from the Celtics," Bosh said.
The referee called a foul and ended the dispute.
Just when Yang Zhenxing was happy that the fight was ended, Rivers' decision made Yang Zhenxing not so happy for once.
Because a foul means the ball is dead, Rivers made a substitution. Rondo replaced Yang Zhenxing. This was the beginning of the fourth quarter, so Garnett had to come off the court to rest for a while, and waited for Pierce to come on in the last 5 or 6 minutes.
Got it
The Heat also made substitutions and the Big Three returned to the court.
The two sides fought fiercely for about 8 minutes. During this period, both sides had wonderful offense and defense.
There are only two minutes left in the game, and the Celtics are three points behind 89:92.
Entering the final decisive moment, Yang Zhenxing, who was still looking forward to having a chance to play, had no hope at all. No matter how strong he was, Rivers would not let him play again at such a critical moment. After all, the Celtics still have special abilities.
Li, and Pierce, as long as they are here, Yang Zhenxing will not be able to play at the last minute.
The current Celtics lineup includes point guard Rajon Rondo, shooting guard Jason Terry, small forward Paul Pierce, power forward Brandon Bass, and center Kevin Garnett.
For the Heat, the point guard is Mario Chalmers, the forwards are Ray Allen and Devin Wade, the power forward is LeBron James, and the center is Chris Bosh. This is their usual small lineup.
Compared with last season, it was just that Ray Allen replaced Shane Battier.
It's the last two minutes
The Celtics' offensive ball rights, Rondo dribbled the ball to face Chalmers, Chalmers did not dare to slack off at all this time
Rondo passed the ball to Garnett, who was in a position inside. Garnett beat Bosh. This time the opportunity was not good, and passed the ball to Rondo. Rondo watched Terry run out, and gave the ball directly to
Terry was about to shoot a three-pointer when Ray Allen pounced on him.
Terry was at a 45-degree angle. Terry just passed the ball to Pierce in the bottom corner. Pierce also shot a three-pointer, but Wade followed and Pierce pretended to shoot.
Wade was shaken up by Pierce. Pierce saw this opportunity and jumped up to find Wade's body and forcefully attack him.
The referee's whistle sounded again, and the cunning Pierce once again caused Wade's foul.
Pierce had to make three free throws, and the situation suddenly became tense. If Pierce made all three free throws this time, the score would be tied.
Sure enough, what the Miami Heat didn't want to see happened. Pierce made all three free throws and hit the basket steadily.
Rivers stood up and shouted loudly off the court, boosting the morale of all the players.
92 to 92 in the last minute and a half
Wade drives past Jason Terry and faces Brandon Bass for a shaky layup
The ball circled around the basket, as if it was going in, but also seemed to be spinning out.
The ball didn't go in, Garnett took off the rebound.
The score was still tied at 92. Wade had no time to be upset and quickly rushed to his backcourt defense.
When Garnett grabbed the rebound and turned around, he was about to start a fast break, but saw that all the Miami Heat players had already returned to defense, and there was no chance for a fast break.
It’s more than a minute to go
The Celtics attack for completeness. Theoretically, both sides have two offensive opportunities.
The Celtics are trying to seize this opportunity. If they can win this attack, the game situation will be very favorable to them.
Pierce played Wade in singles. Wade suffered two dumb losses in this game. He had to be cautious when facing Pierce because he knew that Pierce was too cunning.
Pierce made a fadeaway shot, James came over from the side, and Wade also jumped high to block the shot.
snap
The ball was kicked out of bounds
I don’t know who blocked the shot, but they successfully defended against the cunning Pierce this time.
This time, time was running out for the Celtics to attack. Terry's hasty three-point shot failed to hit James and he got the rebound.
last minute
James made a three-step layup and put the ball into the basket with his left hand from the left
94:92 The Heat took the lead in the game once
The situation with the Celtics was very tense. Rivers called a timeout. Yang Zhenxing was watching with excitement. "It was indeed a high-quality game," Yang Zhenxing sighed.
Rivers deployed a complex tactic, but whether it can be executed depends on the players' on-the-spot performance.
In! In! Rondo actually made a mid-range jumper. The distance was very far, and Rondo actually made it!
Is this a tactic arranged by Rivers? This is simply unbelievable. With 26 seconds left in the game and the Celtics still had 10 seconds to attack, Rondo actually made a decisive move.
Rondo knew that his shooting percentage was not high, but he still shot resolutely. This is such great confidence.
94 flat
The Heat called a timeout in the final 23 seconds
In the last attack, can the Heat stage a buzzer-beater? Will it go to overtime? Who can win the game?
After the timeout, we will see the outcome. The game is getting more and more tense.
