Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

Madison Square Garden.

In the press area, Han Xue's nervous palms were sweating and her cheeks were flushed. Looking at the players on the court, she said, "I can't imagine that the winner hasn't been decided yet."

The first overtime was full of twists and turns. The Celtics once led by 5 points under the goals of Ray Allen and Perkins, so that the fans of the Green Army once saw the hope of winning, but then, the Knicks also had a surprise attack. Out, Ke Liu, who had performed poorly before, hit a priceless 3-pointer at the most critical moment to tie the score again.

Then the two teams started a hand-to-hand fight, commonly known as blacksmithing. In the last 2 minutes, they only scored 2 points each. In the last 45 seconds, all 4 shots from both sides ended in blacksmithing. In the end, neither side was able to kill the game, not even the lore shot. , time runs out, the two sides are tied at 88, and the game enters the second overtime!

"The overtime was over, and the two sides only scored 88 points, but less than 90 points. This game is really too intense." Yang Yi sighed on the sidelines.

The other two teachers also echoed their words, but obviously, their sighs were still a little early.

On the bench, the players on both sides are taking all the time to rest. D’Antoni has given G6 enough trust. He will replace the tired veteran Larry Hughes and play double guard with Duhon.

"Just please." Larry Hughes panted heavily, and he was about to collapse. Although he only scored 4 points in this game, he was in charge of defending Ray Allen. Ray Allen during this period The way of play is very pure, that is, go around, go around, go around, then catch the ball and shoot, you can imagine how much Larry Hughes' physical exertion is.

Others are not too different, and their physical fitness is basically at a critical point. This kind of competition is really too cruel to people's willpower test.

"Don't panic, we're out of power, how could they still be there? Besides, I can still play, trust me." Zuo Li, who didn't score a point in overtime, was not easy, he put all his energy into defense On, he got 2 crucial rebounds in the last 45 seconds. At this time, he had already scored a large double-double with 22 points and 21 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 blocks. Even if there is still a distance from a quadruple-double, it is almost the same. .

Zuo Li doesn't know if this statistic can be ranked in the tiebreaker at the moment, but he knows that at this moment, it's not enough, he can't be cowardly!

Sure enough, after listening to Zuo Li's words, the atmosphere of the whole team became a little more relaxed. Indeed, although the Knicks were very tired, the longer they played, the more detrimental it would be to a team with many veterans like the Celtics. Zuo Li clearly remembered that, The Celtics were beaten by the Bulls in 3 overtimes in the last life, relying on being young and being able to run!

So it's definitely better for them to drag it to the second overtime.

"Come on, fight for this one overtime win, and when the game is over, I'll invite everyone to dinner tonight!" Zuo Li encouraged everyone.

But they still underestimated the Celtics' resilience.

This time, it was the Knicks' turn to start the show.

It was Zuoli who did it. He didn’t score a point in the last overtime, and he took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of the offense in this overtime. Ke Liu encountered a big delay on the outside. , and then hold the ball to the right.

There is no fancy dribble. At this time, simplicity and practicality are the most important. He squeezed Pierce and made a strong shot before Perkins made up the defense. The Knicks took the lead to overtake the score.

Then Randolph made a contribution, Pierce's breakthrough jumper was interfered by the **** bear, Zuo Li received the 22nd rebound, the Knicks pressed time, Zuo Li turned his back and made a hook.

The sky is coming!

4 points in a row.

Then Rondo broke through and stole one, but was quickly caught up by Randolph's tip.

Until the last 28 seconds or so, the Knicks led by 2 points 95-93!

"Defense defense!" Zuo Li shouted to greet his teammates.

The entire Knicks broke out with great fighting power. They forced Rondo to the sideline. Pierce wanted to come up to catch the ball, but was stuck in position by Chandler. run out!

However, at this time, Ray Allen went to the bottom line, and Rondo made a difficult pass through the seam. Ke Liu's fingertips were only 1 cm away from the ball. However, Ray Allen received the ball, made a breakthrough, and made a pull-up jumper. The first 3.2 seconds equalized the score again!

"OHNO!" Curry held his head and squatted in front of the TV, my God, why is it tied again, can we still play!

The scene was silent, and countless fans held their heads and their faces were not very good. This feeling of winning but being equalized is too real.

The Knicks used the last timeout, but after the timeout, Zuoli was forced to make a buzzer-beating three-pointer in 3.2 seconds.

failed to hit...

beep beep beep~

The referee's whistle blows.

95-95, the two sides are still tied!

It's overtime again!

"No way, bro..."

"I'm done, I can't finish tonight."

"The third overtime is over, and I've vomited."

"Help, my heart can't take it anymore."

…

The fans cried out in pain.

If it is said that when the second overtime comes, everyone's feelings are more 'stimulating', 'revenue', 'intense', and 'enjoying', then the arrival of the third overtime brings more asphyxia!

There are often big scenes of 300 rounds of battles, and the lights are on at night.

Three overtimes, that is 48+5+5+5 full 63 minutes of the game, this intensity really belongs to both the outcome and the life and death.

"Never in any tiebreaker in history has it dragged on to such a situation. They didn't even have a winner after two overtimes. A few minutes later, it was going to be a brutal three overtime. This is the NBA. The first tiebreaker in history requires the third overtime to decide the outcome!" Smith said while shaking his legs~www.readwn.com~ He began to be nervous involuntarily.

"What kind of game is this?" Barkley shook his head and sighed.

In the history of the playoffs, overtime is not a rare thing, but 3 overtime is still a minority after all. The last time there were three overtimes in the NBA playoffs dates back to May 15, 2004.

That time was also the Eastern Conference semifinals, but it was the fifth game. The Pistons and the Nets were inextricably linked. The two sides had been entangled in three overtimes before the winner was decided. In the end, the Nets defeated the Pistons 127-120.

It is worth mentioning that in that round of the series, the two sides fought until the tiebreaker to decide the winner, but it was the first time that the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference semifinals went straight to three overtimes!

This is definitely more tense and cruel than a situation like Game 5. After all, there is absolutely no fault tolerance at this time. The fate of the entire season is based on these last five minutes.

Fans with bad hearts have begun to come up with quick-acting heart-saving pills, while the timid girls have turned off the TV and chose to watch the game live by text.

The situation of the two teams is not very good. On the Celtics side, Rivers is racking his brains to make plans. Their fouls are already full. Perkins, Davis, Pierce, three people They all fouled 5 times, Rondo 4 times, and Ray Allen 4 times, and their physical fitness is really unsupportable.

"Playing the perimeter, Ray Allen, it's up to you." As a last resort, Rivers could only decide to push the center of gravity outward and defend the left stand for others.

On the Knicks side, D'Antoni was afraid that Zuo Li, who missed a key shot, would be depressed, and kept saying consolation.

However, Zuo Li didn't think so. It was his problem to miss the shot, but this time, he wanted to control his destiny even more.
