Chapter 200 Superstar Moment
Kobe blocked Thomas Jr. head-on and became the last shot of the third quarter.
Xu Tian and Thomas Jr. did not appear at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the offense of both sides stagnated. In more than five minutes, they only scored 8 and 9 points respectively.
When Xu Tian went into battle, Thomas Jr. also returned to the field.
It doesn't feel hot all the time.With the decline of physical strength, the players on both sides were unable to maintain a high shooting rate, and they began to hit iron one after another, and the score rose slowly.
The Celtics got out of the predicament first, and successfully narrowed the point difference to single digits with Avery Bradley accidentally hitting two mid-range shots.
The resilience of the Celtics is well-deserved!
Scott called two timeouts in a row to let Xu Tian, whose physical strength was declining, rest.
Coach Stevens prevented the Lakers from using a five-forward lineup. Although Amir Johnson was not played, he was prepared to replace Taylor Zeller at any time.
Tyler Zeller played 38 minutes, far beyond his physical limits.
Lakers 129-120 Celtics, 3 minutes and 53 seconds left in the game!
Xu Tian received the serve, walked slowly through the half court, and organized his teammates to run at the top of the arc.
George used Josh's cover to get outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left.
Xu Tian split the ball with his left hand and passed it to George.
George made a shot fake and failed to shake Avery Bradley in front of him, so he had to dribble laterally and use his body to fight the breakthrough.
Avery Bradley's defensive ability is often underestimated by fans, but the players who really face him cannot ignore his tough defense.
George suffered and was forced to stop the ball at the free throw line.
Xu Tian ran around the screen and came to George, took the basketball from him, pressed the 24-second attack time, and shot a jumper with an elegant back.
BANG!
131-120!
Thomas Jr. received the serve quickly, took the half-court with his hands and feet, used the cover to break through to attract double-teams, and passed the ball to Avery Bradley in the left corner.
Avery Bradley broke the boat and threw the ball without fear of taking the blame.
Merits and demerits shoulder to shoulder, crazy goals!
123-131, 3 minutes and 15 seconds!
Xu Tian sent the ball to Kobe, and Kobe took the half court.
Xu Tian and George interspersed with running positions, pulling the Celtics' exquisite defense.
Coach Stevens stood on the sidelines, constantly reminding the players not to miss Xu Tian.
Kobe saw that Thomas Jr. switched to George, and quickly passed the ball to let him force Thomas Jr..
George dribbled the ball with his back in singles, crushing Thomas Jr. with power.
Little Thomas, the spooky elf, fell to the ground with a painful expression!
BI~!
Offensive foul, ball conversion!
George looked at the referee in disbelief, his expression contained extreme incomprehension, but he knew that this was the Celtics' home court, and such a penalty was taken for granted.
Avery Bradley pulled Thomas up and expressed his admiration for him.
Kelly Olynyk hits the sideline pass to a smiling Thomas Jr.
Thomas Jr. quickly dribbled the ball across half court and passed the ball to Kelly Olynyk who was standing at the free throw line.
The Celtics are behind and there is not much time left. They cannot attack the clock like the Lakers.
Kelly Olynyk looked at Josh, who was not defended, and decisively shot the middle distance.
125-131, 2 minutes and 59 seconds!
Scott stood up anxiously, walked to the sidelines, and wanted to call a timeout urgently.
Xu Tian waved his hand to dispel the head coach's intention to pause, and dribbled the ball across the half court.
Kobe and George lined up outside the three-point line on the left and right sides, pulling Thomas Jr. and Avery Bradley's defense apart, allowing Xu Tian to single out Evan Turner.
Evan Turner lowered his center of gravity, looked at Xu Tian in style, and focused on defense.
Xu Tian bent over to dribble, changed direction drastically to catch Buddha with his left hand, swayed Evan Turner's defense, and made a strong breakthrough towards the penalty area.
Both Kelly Olynyk and Taylor Zeller were fully motivated, watching Xu Tian's rapid breakthrough vigilantly, ready to block his shot.
High toss, killer feature!
133-125, 2 minutes and 39 seconds!
Thomas Jr. dribbles forward quickly and passes the ball to Evan Turner without stopping.
Evan Turner also didn't stop the ball and played through Kelly Olynyk in the penalty area.
Kelly Olynyk tackles Josh for a hard layup.
The referee whistles and Kelly Olynyk goes to the free throw line.
Made two free throws!
127-133, 2 minutes and 28 seconds!
Xu Tian advanced with the ball, dribbled the ball at the top of the arc to press the time, and when the time was 12 seconds left, the dribble started, breaking through the Celtics' layers of siege.
135-127, 2 minutes and 05 seconds!
Coach Stevens hurriedly called a short timeout, and replaced Tyler Zeller, who couldn't be defended, with Amir Johnson. At the same time, he changed his defensive tactics and resolutely pinched Xu Tian.
Evan Turner felt that it was inappropriate to double-team Xu Tian, but due to the authority of Coach Stevens, he remained silent.
Xu Tian took deep breaths continuously, trying to adjust the rapid breathing rhythm, and quietly listened to Scott's arrangement.
Scott did not take the tactical board, and said loudly: "The game has entered a critical moment, and I will not make any tactical arrangements. This is the moment for superstars. If you want to pursue excellence, you must control this last moment."
Xu Tian nodded slightly, dried his sweat with a towel again, and returned to the court resolutely.
Kobe asked jokingly: "Xu, can you still pass the ball?"
Xu Tian didn't look back, and simply used yes as an answer.
Kelly Olynyk lets the ball roll down the field.
Thomas Jr. followed the ball, did not pick it up for a while, and stopped the timer to buy time in disguise.
Listening to the shouts in the North Shore Garden Arena, George accidentally ignited a raging fighting spirit, and the lack of physical strength gushed out from a silent place, filling every cell of him.
Thomas Jr.'s three-pointer with a step back was blocked by the fierce George.
Xu Tian broke his stride, came to the side of the basketball in two steps, and picked it up easily.
Reggie Miller looked at Xu Tian, who was as fast as the wind, and exclaimed: "The talent Xu has shown, I have only seen it in Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade these years." Been here. He is too strong!"
Mike Breen said passionately: "This genius from the East crossed the vast Pacific Ocean and showed us his unique talent. With his wonderful performance, he broke through layers of ice and told fans all over the world—— Yellow people can fly too!"
Slam Dunk!
137-127, 1 minutes and 42 seconds!
Coach Stevens had made all possible adjustments, shook his head and walked back to the bench, ready to calmly accept the final result.
Thomas Jr. still didn't want to give up, he quickly dribbled the ball across half court, and threw the giant ball one step beyond the three-point line directly.
clang!
The basket of the North Shore Garden Arena rejected Thomas Jr.'s application for an advanced superstar.
Tyson Chandler bounced quickly and gave the racket to Xu Tian at the top of the arc.
Evan Turner fouls!
At this time, Xu Tian had scored 57 points!
