Chapter 316 Failure
With only the last 3 minutes left before the end of the game, the away Boston Celtics are still nine points behind the Indiana Pacers at home with a score of 71:80.If you continue to play like this, the Boston Celtics are likely to lose this game tonight.In this way, the Boston Celtics will return to their home court with a big score of 0:2, which is quite detrimental to the Boston Celtics' series situation.
During the timeout, Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers approached Ray Allen.
"Ray, those four outside three-pointers are really exciting!" Coach Doc Rivers said to Ray Allen. It’s better to be on the bench, let’s leave more opportunities to the young people!”
"What?" Ray Allen couldn't help frowning when he heard it.
However, Coach Doug Rivers didn't seem to notice Ray Allen's dissatisfaction, and still issued an order for substitutions.Avery Bradley, who is nominally the team's starting shooting guard but is indistinguishable from the backup, replaced Ray Allen and returned to the court again.
When the whistle sounded to restart the game, Ray Allen put the big towel on his head and sat on the bench with a slumped face.
"They actually replaced Ray Allen!" Xu Nuo on the court said in surprise when he saw that Ray Allen hadn't returned to the court, "Now Ray Allen's hand feels so hot, it's actually been I really don’t understand what Coach Doc Rivers is thinking…”
However, in front of the promise, Boston Celtics main point guard Rajon Rondo, who was holding the ball forward, had an imperceptible smug look on his face.
However, Coach Doug Rivers did not intend to concentrate the ball in the hands of Rajon Rondo. After Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately handed the ball to the team's ace small forward Paul Pierce.Paul Pierce knew in his heart that time was running out, and immediately after getting the ball, he held the ball and played back singles against Danny Granger.However, Paul Pierce did not choose to shoot by himself, but suddenly flicked his wrist, and the ball immediately came to Rajon Rondo who was standing outside the three-point line.
"Oops!" Xu Nuo almost broke out in a cold sweat, and hurried to Rajon Rondo.At the same time, Rajon Rondo passed the ball again, and the ball came to the inside center Kevin Garnett.Veteran Kevin Garnett overwhelmed young Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert for a layup.
"The Boston Celtics players still haven't given up on the game!" The on-site commentator and Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller said loudly, "Although there is not much time left in the game, even though the team is still behind the opponent Seven points, but the Boston Celtics players are still fighting hard on the court! I think even if the Boston Celtics lose this game, their fans will definitely feel proud of their fighting spirit happy!"
"However, their top priority should be to defend against our attack first." Xu Nuo said in his heart.
After Xu Nuo dribbled the ball to the front court, he handed the ball to power forward David West, who mentioned the high position to catch the ball. David West received the ball and turned his back to the Boston Celtics. Forward Brandon Bass.Meanwhile, Danny Granger sprang into action, slipping the baseline toward the Boston Celtics basket, drawing the Boston Celtics' defensive attention to himself.At this time, shooting guard DeMar DeRozan used the cover of center Roy Hibbert to get rid of the defense and appeared outside the three-point line. David West immediately passed the ball in his hand.
"His defense is still a little bit worse!" Ray Allen, who was sitting on the bench beside the court, said helplessly.
However, DeMar DeRozan missed a long three-pointer from the perimeter, and veteran Kevin Garnett jumped high and grabbed the defensive rebound.
"Fast break!" Rajon Rondo yelled, starting to charge upfield.Kevin Garnett passed the ball immediately, and Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball towards the Indiana Pacers basket at high speed after receiving the ball. Although he promised to stay close to Rajon Rondo, he failed Block Rajon Rondo's progress.Although David West and Roy Hibbert tried their best to return to the defense quickly and guard the basket, Rajon Rondo still made a one-stop layup.
"It's only five points away again!" The on-site commentator Reggie Miller exclaimed, "The Boston Celtics are approaching the point difference again, and this game is full of suspense again!"
"This goal is my responsibility!" Xu Nuo looked at his teammates and raised his hand.Xu Nuo knows that if his reaction speed can be a little faster, or if he can start before Rajon Rondo, maybe he can completely block Rajon Rondo's attack.Even if it can't stop Rajon Rondo's progress, it can slow the Boston Celtics' offense.However, neither David West nor Roy Hibbert said anything, but turned directly to participate in the offense.Xu Nuo gritted his teeth and quickly rushed forward with the ball.
"There is only more than one minute left in the game, and this offense and defense will be the key to determining the outcome of the game!" On-site commentator Reggie Miller said on the sidelines of the court, "If the Indiana Pacers play If you score this goal, the outcome of this game can be decided. However, if the Boston Celtics can defend successfully, then the Boston Celtics still have a chance to win..."
Xu Nuo stopped one step before the center line, faced Rajon Rondo, and slowly controlled the ball while paying attention to the running positions of his teammates on the court and the time displayed by the timer above the backboard.It wasn't until the last ten seconds of the shot clock that power forward David West ran out to do the pick-and-roll for Xu.Xu Nuo immediately took the opportunity to get rid of Rajon Rondo's defense, and rushed towards the three-second zone of the Boston Celtics with the ball.
"Is this kid planning to attack by himself?" At this moment, the other players on the court thought at the same time, watching Xu Nuo rushing towards the Boston Celtics' defense with the ball.
"Has that kid lost his composure?" Coach Larry Brown adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking at the promise on the court with some surprise, "Probably not..."
However, when Xu Nuo was approaching the paint area of the Boston Celtics and the players of the Boston Celtics were about to form a siege, Xu Nuo suddenly waved his arm, and the ball flew to the standing position at 45 degrees like a fired shell. Danny Granger outside the corner three-point line.
"Sure enough..." Coach Larry Brown nodded slightly.
Danny Granger didn't hesitate at all after receiving the ball, almost omitting even the most basic adjustments, and shot directly from outside the three-point line.The ball crossed a high arc in the air, and then went into the net with a "swipe" sound!
At 83:75, the Indiana Pacers at home once again led the away Boston Celtics by eight points!
"There is no chance..." the live commentator Reggie Miller said with a sigh.
After promising an assist for Danny Granger's long three-pointer from the perimeter, Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers got up and called for a timeout.Amidst the tsunami-like cheers in the Conseco Arena, the Boston Celtics players lowered their heads and walked towards the team's bench.
"Cheer up, we can't just give up the game!" During the timeout, coach Doug Rivers said loudly to his disciples.
Although those Boston Celtics players wanted to cheer up, but in the hearts of the players at this time, the word "defeated" has been completely occupied.
Coach Doug Rivers glanced at the timer above the backboard, "There are still 56 seconds left. Although it is very difficult to reverse the game, we still cannot give up this game!" Doug Rivers Coach Si said, "In our dictionary, there will never be the word give up!"
Although coach Doc Rivers once again dispatched three-point shooter Ray Allen after this timeout, Ray Allen's touch has slowly cooled down on the cold bench.After Ray Allen missed a long three-pointer from the outside, the Boston Celtics were completely gone. Even though Coach Doug Rivers said not to give up the game, in fact the Boston Celtics All players have given up the game in their hearts.
In the end, the Indiana Pacers defeated the visiting Boston Celtics 86:77 at home, rewriting the series to 2:0, and the team's promotion situation is very good.Xu Nuo talked and laughed with his teammates and walked to the players' locker room.In this game, Xu Xu scored [-] points, [-] assists, [-] steals and [-] rebounds, and his performance was still comprehensive.
As the promised opponent on the court, Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo looked unwilling, watching the fans of the home team celebrating in the Conseco Arena, could not help but clenched their fists. "Let's meet in Boston, damn it!" Rajon Rondo said bitterly.
However, even if the Boston Celtics return to their home court, it is difficult to say that they can beat the Indiana Pacers.But the Boston Celtics players will not be willing to fail, they will definitely make a comeback.
