Chapter 755: Despair 1 shot
"The two sides have almost returned to the same starting line, and there was something interesting in the fourth quarter." Zhang Liang said.
"Yes, Chen Yan almost caught up with the score by himself. Let's see if he can continue his heroic performance in the third quarter in the fourth quarter." Director Xu said.
"Okay, the fourth quarter has started, and we can see that Nelson put Chen Yan on the bench." Zhang Liang said.
"This is understandable. Chen Yan fought too hard in the third quarter. He should take a rest and gather strength to prepare for the final battle." Director Xu said.
"Durant and Rose also took a rest. Now Stoudemire is leading the second unit on the Celtics side, and David West is leading the Knicks side."
How long Chen Yan can rest depends on David West's performance during this period.
During this period, David West still felt unstable. Fortunately, Stoudemire was also out of shape, and the points on both sides increased slowly.
With 8 minutes and 09 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Chen Yan appeared on the stage.
The Celtics did not hesitate to replace the main force.
Everyone understands that the decisive battle is coming.
Celtics lineup: Rose, Daniels, Durant, Stoudemire, Kostic.
Knicks lineup: Beverley, Chen Yan, Battier, Al Harrington, DeAndre Jordan.
Nelson directly removed David West, who was in poor condition, and replaced Al Harrington, who was more threatening from the outside.
Rose dribbled the ball across the half, and Beverly entangled himself.
Beverly kept making little moves, which made Ross very annoyed.
Rose signaled not to cover and opened the singles!
Rose moved to the three-point line on the wing, made a big change of direction, squeezed Beverley and rushed inside!
Beverly could keep up mentally, but not physically.
Rose's body is so powerful that when he starts it, it's like riding a rocket.
After passing Beverley, Rose made a signature throw.
"Shh!"
The goal was scored cleanly.
96:99.
The Celtics hold a three-point lead.
Knicks offensive round.
Beverley carried the ball across half court.
Al Harrington pulled in a three-pointer.
Xiao Si followed out.
This is the benefit of a big man's outside shooting ability, which can help the ball holder open up space for breakthroughs.
Chen Yan took two steps forward with the ball and pulled it back to adjust.
Daniels made a big move, which was what Rivers told him.
If you were polite to Chen Yan, it would be the same as sending points directly.
Daniels' movements were big but not dirty. It looked like he was pressing hard, but Chen Yan actually didn't feel uncomfortable.
Under the pressure of Daniels, Chen Yan was still able to handle it with ease.
After pulling back, he changed direction and switched the ball to his left hand.
Daniels takes another step forward.
Chen Yan lowered his center of gravity and dribbled in two directions with an ultra-low body!
After switching the ball back to the right hand, he rushed directly past Daniels!
This is the bad thing about personal defense. Once it is passed, there will be no room left.
Chen Yan made an emergency stop near the free throw line, stabilized his body in the air and sent the ball into the basket.
Chen Yan did not rely on inertia to attack the basket, but ended the attack in the safest and most energy-saving way.
Chen Yan was already thinking about the final stage of the fourth quarter or even overtime, so he continued to save energy for this reason.
It was the Celtics' old teammate Stoudemire who stood up and responded to Chen Yan in the next round.
Stoudemire took a tentative step and then started directly, using his super explosive power and beast-like body to create space, and hit a layup!
98:101.
Stoudemire gave Durant a high-five. Although the Celtics collapsed in the third quarter, they still cheered up in the fourth quarter.
They don't want their victory to slip away!
Stoudemire was still immersed in the joy of the ball just now, and the Knicks had already made a quick pass from the bottom line.
Daniels looked at the long pass route and prepared to intercept halfway.
Daniels obviously overestimated his bounce...
Maybe Daniels can reach the ball with a vertical takeoff, but the current situation is that he is constantly retreating.
It's difficult to jump at full speed in this situation.
After Daniels made an air jump, Chen Yan was completely missed!
Durant defends and retreats.
After taking a step with the ball, Chen Yan suddenly exploded the ball from outside the three-point line and took a fierce step forward!
While taking a step forward, Chen Yan raised the ball over his head.
European step + giant loop.
Chen Yan bypassed Durant and then glided to the basket and scored in a cool way!
100:101.
The score between the two sides is still tight!
Every point Chen Yan scores is like a stab in the heart of the Celtics!
The entire Celtics team was tense. Only Pietrus breathed a sigh of relief. He proved that being unable to guard against Chen Yan was really not his fault.
The pressure on Durant increased sharply, but he still proved that he has a lot of heart in the next round.
The signature crossover shook and then the mid-range drift shot hit!
100:103.
"Good shot, beautiful mid-range shot, Durant still showed no mercy at the critical moment." Zhang Lili said.
"Durant has grown very quickly in the past two years, both mentally and technically." Director Xu said.
After scoring, Durant roared with anger in his eyes. His emotions were completely involved. In Durant's eyes, this game was no longer an ordinary regular season game.
The Celtics quickly returned to defense after scoring, and they would not give the Knicks one direct fast break opportunity after another.
Beverley came over with the ball, and Chen Yan wanted to step forward to respond, but the Celtics were watching too closely!
Chen Yan was forced to run back.
Seeing that the Celtics' attention was on Chen Yan, Beverley suddenly accelerated and cut inside.
Jordan took a direct step across, trapping Jordan behind him.
Beverly successfully stole the chicken!
102:103.
Chen Yan and Beverley high-fived, and Beverley seemed very excited. He was not only able to help the team on the defensive end.
Chen Yan also hopes that his teammates will step forward to help him at this time. No one wants to have to fight alone.
In the next few rounds, both sides fought hard.
The commentator said that the defensive strength of both sides has escalated again, and it is definitely the intensity of the playoffs.
In fact, the commentator was conservative.
In fact, this is almost catching up with the intensity of the finals.
The game has reached this intense level, and neither side wants to lose.
The Celtics continue to increase their intensity, and the Knicks can only keep up.
Just like two gamblers, one is all-in and the other has to follow or lose.
The two sides fought fiercely until the last 1 minute and 13 seconds.
The score was 115 to 116.
The Celtics led by 1 points.
Chen Yan received the ball at the logo position.
The defender becomes Durant.
Chen Yan has scored 65 points tonight, and Durant is very unhappy.
In addition to Chen Yan's personal data, Durant was even more unhappy with the sudden collapse in the third quarter.
This made the situation that the Celtics had to win become confusing.
Chen Yan didn't call for cover. Calling for cover at this time was equivalent to giving the opponent a chance to double-team him.
Chen Yan decided to fight on his own.
Durant defended closely and put his right hand on Chen Yan's waist.
This is a proactive action.
But the referee can't blow it.
At this time, the referee will let the players perform on their own and will not interfere with the outcome of the game.
Chen Yan took advantage of the situation and pressed his center of gravity, leaning over Durant and forcefully wiping it past him.
Although Durant is flexible, his center of gravity is still high after all, and it is normal for him to be unable to lower it all of a sudden.
After Chen Yan wiped it out, Pietrus blocked Chen Yan from the wing. In the second half of the fourth quarter, Rivers sent Pietrus on again.
Rivers used Daniels, Pietrus, and Durant to take turns guarding Chen Yan.
The effect is not good.
Battier had a chance on the wing.
But Chen Yan didn't pass it.
This round, he suddenly felt very comfortable. After passing Durant in one step, he made a sudden change of direction and flashed directly to the left of Pietrus!
Pietrus barely kept up, and Chen Yan leaned on him to forcefully start.
The fans could clearly feel that Chen Yan's performance had slowed down.
If one person spends the entire game alone, his physical fitness will inevitably decline in the final quarter, and it will be difficult to maintain the speed at the beginning of the game.
But that doesn't mean Pietrus can guard him.
Pietrus and Chen Yan took off at the same time.
Pietrus' defensive position in this round was very good, and Chen Yan was so pressed that he was unable to take off with all his strength.
Chen Yan raised the ball above his head with both hands.
Instead of passing the ball, he directly played with Pietrus in the air.
When Pietrus fell, Chen Yan was still at the highest point!
Chen Yan threw the ball and hit the ball while his body fell out of the court with the inertia.
117:116.
This fall is a kind of self-protection, removing strength.
This was definitely the closest Pietrus came to guarding Chen Yan in this game.
Still failed.
However, Pietrus reacted quickly. While Chen Yan was still on the ground, he picked up the ball and served it quickly.
Just don't talk about martial arts!
The Celtics' frontcourt formed a pattern of playing more and playing less.
Durant received a pass from Rose and prepared for a layup.
Beverly said that if you don’t follow martial ethics, then don’t blame me.
A slap directly on Durant's forearm.
Durant got mad on the spot, thinking the ball was aimed at someone!
Beverley was not to be outdone. He wanted Durant to come up and beat him up, so that the benefits of the foul he just committed could be maximized.
His teammates quickly pulled him away, and their impatience messed up their big plans. At this time, if the Knicks were given a free throw due to a technical foul, they would be at a loss.
"Fxxk! Clown! You are a clown with a basic salary!" Durant raged.
"Yes, you are the MVP, an MVP with a maximum salary but was hacked!" Beverley shot back.
Hit people without slapping their faces, and curse people without revealing shortcomings.
This sentence obviously does not work in the United States.
Beverley hit Durant's fate as soon as he opened his mouth!
If his teammates hadn't pulled him, Durant might have punched Beverley like that.
Although he has only played against Beverley twice, Durant really hates this little man.
Durant feels that Beverley is not only dirty, but also very good at playing with his opponent's mentality.
Beverley's type of player is like this, when he is a rival, you hate him, but when he is a teammate, you love him.
Beverley is definitely a team player. He can make sacrifices for the team, not only tactical sacrifices, but also reputational sacrifices.
Beverly is someone who is willing to do all the dirty work.
Chen Yan took this into account before recruiting him into the team. No matter what era he played in, having a guard with a knife around him was a must. Even if he didn't use it, it would still have a deterrent effect.
Having a sword in your hand and not using it are two different things from not having a sword in your hand...
Durant stood at the free throw line and took a deep breath.
Amidst the waves of "mvp" cheers from the audience.
Durant made a free throw!
117:117.
"Bang!"
The second penalty was a bit stronger.
The basketball hit the rim and popped out of the neck.
Beverley still caused a lot of ups and downs in Durant's mentality.
52 seconds.
Chen Yan started to set the pace.
The Celtics didn't dare double-team him at this time.
Double-teaming Chen Yan means letting out a Knicks player. If the Knicks are allowed to score at this time, the result may be fatal.
"Don't let him break out! Keep him outside the three-point line!" Rivers roared.
Chen Yan's three-pointers tonight were really mediocre. His shooting touch was not very smooth tonight, and most of his points came from breakthroughs.
Pietrus stood in front of Chen Yan.
He was originally Alexander, and after listening to Rivers' words, he relaxed a lot. Pietrus took a small step back to prevent Chen Yan from breaking through easily. If he made the shot, it would be Rivers' fault.
Chen Yan controlled the ball and started the round to the last 7 seconds.
Pietrus fought and retreated.
When Chen Yan saw that there was time for a three-pointer at the top of the arc, he just pulled one!
"Bang!"
Seeing Chen Yan shooting a three-pointer so comfortably, some fans almost cried in advance.
But after hearing the sound of iron strikes, these fans breathed a sigh of relief and it was a false alarm.
Stoudemire jumped hard, he knew the importance of this backcourt rebound!
After getting this key rebound, Stoudemire held the ball in his chest.
Rose stepped forward to respond, and Stoudemire passed the ball.
Rose dribbled slowly across half court.
Rivers called timeout.
With the last 32 seconds left in the game, the player thought he called the timeout to better plan the round.
As a result, Rivers said a lot of encouraging words, and he said something about tactical things.
Give the ball to Durant and everyone pulls away.
After the timeout, the Celtics almost missed the sideline ball.
Beverley chased Rose all over the court. Kate made people think that Rose would go around the top of the key to catch the ball first, and then Durant would come up and pass the ball.
As a result, Pietrus never had a chance to pass to Rose, almost causing a 5-second violation.
Fortunately, Durant was tall and powerful, and signaled Pietrus to throw it into the air. Two steps beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc, Durant received Pietrus' sideline ball.
The moment you catch the ball, time starts to move quickly!
The Celtics didn't play any tactics, and everyone pulled away to watch Durant challenge Battier.
Durant moved his left hand to the three-point line. Like Chen Yan in the last round, he also reduced the round time to only 7 seconds.
Battier was staring at Durant with all his attention, and the handsome man suddenly crotched him!
Durant wanted to speed up and go to the right, but Battier predicted his route and stepped back in advance.
Durant took two strong steps without getting rid of Battier.
Battier's defense is very sophisticated. He knows that there is not much time left in the attack, so he directly moves sideways to Durant and waits for him to shoot.
Durant only has two options, shoot or pass.
However, as a pure scorer, Durant usually does not pass the ball at this time.
This time is no exception.
Durant forcibly pulls out. Although he has the advantage of height and wingspan, Battier is completely attached to his face this round.
Durant was forced to drift backward and take a shot!
"Shh!"
hit!
"Durant hit the buzzer beater. It was so difficult."
"Battier has defended to the extreme."
After seeing Durant's shot, the two CCTV commentators were obviously not in high spirits and their tone was very flat.
Nelson was about to call a timeout when Chen Yan took the initiative to ask for the ball in the backcourt and then slowly dribbled the ball across half court.
Nelson did not disrupt Chen Yan's rhythm. It is not certain whether the ball will reach Chen Yan after the timeout.
"The Celtics didn't press Chen. They were scolded by KD who was just overwhelmed by the upcoming victory?" Barkley complained.
"The Knicks didn't call a timeout either. It seemed that they wanted Chen to resolve the battle by himself," Kenny Smith said.
After Chen Yan passed halftime, there were only 7.5 seconds left at the end of the game.
Pietrus glanced left and right behind him, and everyone in the Knicks had already spread out.
6 秒
5 seconds.
With less than five seconds left, Chen Yan kept dribbling toward the wing with his left hand. On the fourth dribble, Chen Yan, who had adjusted his rhythm, suddenly pulled out a jumper.
The immediate reaction of the Celtics home fans was: What is this?Just pull it out?
Chen Yan's last shot didn't have any feints or tricks, it was just a straight shot!
And it's still one step away from the three-point line.
"No way." Pietrus looked back at the basket.
Chen Yan's three-pointer tonight was not that accurate, and the one in the last round was not scored, so Pietrus had illusions in his heart.
But soon the illusion was shattered.
"Shh!"
This goal was scored just like Chen Yan's shot, clean and neat, without any sloppiness!
120:119.
Chen Yan pursed his lips, kept beating his heart, and ran to the sidelines to bump chests with his teammates to celebrate!
The commentator shouted out the classic line again: "You can always trust Chen Yan!"
After the ball was scored, Chen Yan left the Celtics 0.2 seconds.
Such a short time is only enough for the Celtics players to despair, not enough to complete the shot.
