()No one thought that the competition would develop to this situation. dudu0191
With only two minutes left in the game, the Bulls were only leading by one point, and the game seemed to be entering the most thrilling countdown stage.
Now, the Bulls have one more chance to foul, and the Celtics' foul count is already full.
Each team has three timeouts, one long timeout and two short timeouts.
After Paul Pierce scored Chen Jie's post-up goal, Scales used up a short stoppage opportunity.
During this timeout, he had tactics to explain.
Skiles, who saw that Chen Jie was exhausted, prepared to arrange a three-point tactic for him, and planned to use ten seconds to finish the attack.
In this case, before the last 24 seconds of the game, both teams have two chances to attack. Even if Chen Jie fails to make the shot, the Bulls still have a chance to win. If Chen Jie makes the shot, the Bulls will take the lead.
Already.
There is no doubt that this tactic of Scales is a bit of a gamble.
But there is nothing that can be done. After all, Chen Jie's physical strength has reached its limit. If he is allowed to continue to break through at this time, the success rate may be lower!
Chen Jie had no objection to Scales' arrangement.
He knows his physical strength very well, and he also knows that if he wants to break through at this time, he may not be able to take the last step. In that case, let alone scoring a goal, even drawing a foul may be impossible.
It is very likely that they will block the ball one by one and give the Celtics a chance to attack.
It's better to shoot a three-pointer. Anyway, you're still one point ahead. Even if you don't make the shot, you can defend and won't let the opponent attack.
If the shot is made, it will directly give the team an advantage.
This gamble is worth it!
On the other side, Rivers glanced at Scales and didn't know what he meant by calling this timeout.
Twenty seconds was short or long. By the time Rivers thought for a while and finally understood what Scales was going to do, the timeout was over.
The referee came over and urged the Celtics players to return to the court. It was too late for Rivers to explain a set of defensive tactics.
He could only shout: "Defend three-pointers, defend three-pointers!"
The Celtics players who were about to walk back to the court were a little confused by Rivers' words, but they didn't dare to neglect the coach's instructions and took them to heart.
As for whether Rivers' words will have any effect, that's unclear.
Players from both teams return to the court and the game begins again.
It was Duhon who served the sideline ball. He held the ball high above his head. Gary Payton was already an old man, but he still kept jumping in front of Duhong like crazy, interfering.
The referee blew the whistle.
Players from both teams started running, and Chen Jie, who was standing on the innermost side, made a big circle. He came out from the baseline, and when he came to a 45-degree angle, Chandler made a pick-and-roll for him, blocking him.
Qi Davis, but LaFrentz's big hand still delayed Chen Jie.
Chen Jie bypassed LaFrentz and ran towards the top of the arc.
When Chen Jie reached the top of the arc, he finally had a chance to catch the ball.
Du Hong also sent the ball out at this time. Chen Jie received the basketball steadily.
Although Du Hong may not be able to give Chen Jie much help on the court, for the two people who are already familiar with each other, such a sideline ball cooperation is still very simple.
Du Hong knew when and what kind of ball Chen Jie was comfortable with, and Chen Jie also knew when Du Hong would pass the ball.
After Chen Jie received the ball, Richie Davis followed directly. He was one step away from Chen Jie.
At this time, he still subconsciously wanted to defend Chen Jie's breakthrough.
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Chen Jie's mouth without dribbling.
Paul Pierce, who was next to him, suddenly remembered Rivers' reminder just now and shouted loudly: "Pay attention to the three-pointer!"
At this time, Richie Davis heard Paul Pierce's words and quickly stepped forward to defend Chen Jie's three-pointer.
However, it was too late.
At this time, Chen Jie had already taken off and made a series of shots. In his eyes, there was only the basket.
When Rivers saw this scene, he held his head in despair.
The Celtics players also understood Skiles' arrangement, but it was already too late. At this time, they could only pray that Chen Jie's shot would miss.
The fans at the United Center subconsciously stood up, put their hands in front of their mouths, and were so nervous that they could be attached.
In everyone's sight, the basketball thrown by Chen Jie drew a standard arc in the air...
Got in?
No! The basketball hit the front edge of the basket!
Chen Jie, who had very little physical strength left, made a small move this time.
LaFrentz jumped high and grabbed this valuable backcourt rebound.
At the United Center, everyone let out a sigh.
All the Celtic players had expressions on their faces as if they were going to survive a disaster.
Chen Jie, on the other hand, slapped his hand in frustration.
Such a good opportunity was not even made. Is this game really lost?
If you survive the catastrophe, you will be blessed later.
The Celtics' subsequent performance once again confirmed this truth.
Paul Pierce hit a three-pointer, leading the Bulls by two points!
The game situation is developing unfavorably for the Bulls.
The United Center was deathly silent.
All the Bulls players were helpless and had empty eyes.
Chen Jie's missed three-pointer and Paul Pierce's missed three-pointer gave them the heaviest psychological blow.
Speaking of which, they are still a bunch of young people!
In the next two attacks, neither team scored.
The game time disappeared little by little, and finally reached the final countdown stage.
The Celtics' offense had less than forty seconds left in the game.
If Paul Pierce can hit it, then the Bulls' efforts throughout the game will be in vain.
Griffin clung to Paul Pierce's side like a mad dog.
Chandler Nocchioni was stuck in the paint like a bloody battle.
Chen Jie used his last strength to keep up with Richie Davis.
Duhon not only defended Payton, he was also ready to help defend Paul Pierce at any time!
These Bulls players haven’t given up yet!
Paul Pierce's shot was not made despite the concerted efforts of the Bulls.
Fans at the United Center let out a cheer, but the cheers died down immediately.
After all, at this time, there were sixteen seconds left in the game, and the Bulls were still two points behind.
The current situation has reached a very critical moment.
Even if the Bulls equalize and enter overtime, with Chen Jie's current physical strength, how can he still lead the Bulls to continue fighting?
Then, the Bulls have only one choice, shoot three-pointers!
However, the Celtics can also think of this, and they will definitely strengthen their perimeter defense.
Under such circumstances, under such absolutely unfavorable circumstances, would there still be a decisive blow?
Will there be any miracles? To be continued. Welcome to Qidian (qidian votes for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to mqidian to read.)
