Chapter 838 The Last Straw that Broke the Green Shirt Army
"COME ON! Back to defense and back to defense!" Garnett raised his arms and roared at Staples after dunking in, and then quickly greeted his teammates to return to defense. Obviously, the 'Wolf King' wanted to use this method to arouse the emotions of his teammates.
Although in his career in the Timberwolves, many people questioned his soft style of play, resulting in the Timberwolves' performance all year round being unable to improve. For example, when they were eliminated by the Lakers in a row, some reporters ridiculed Garnett, thinking that he and Duncan are the biggest difference. One met O'Neal and took the initiative to fight, the other fled in a hurry.
But it is undeniable that Garnett is definitely a qualified leader!
He's a natural leader, as his teammate Cassell said: "Kevin has a lot of respect for the 12 guys on the team, like that's a starting star, he's the same to everyone, to everyone else Lots of advice, but not in a very nasty way."
And his style is very suitable for this Celtic. On the court, his growl always makes people shudder, and using chatter to attack opponents is his specialty, even if it is a simple appearance ceremony, when he is from players. When he walked out of the aisle, his tall stature and slightly fierce expression were awe-inspiring. He brought this Celtic iron blood and hardness, which sounded different from his style of play that the media criticized, but this That's Garnett's characteristic, when it's time to be tough, he never backs down.
Just like in the playoffs this year, without Garnett saving the Greens countless times, the Greens could not have gotten to where they are today.
Similarly, in today's desperate situation, we still have to rely on Garnett to drive the team!
Garnett is obviously doing a good job. Originally lagging behind so much, many Green Army players can't help but feel anxious and hesitant, especially those who have just entered the league. They are anxious, but the more anxious they are, the worse they will be. There are more holes in the hurry, which is also the reason why many teams in the finals quickly collapsed in the sixth game after falling behind 2-3.
They no longer have a winning mentality.
But fortunately, Garnett stabilized the situation. Although he didn't shoot the key ball very much at the last moment, in the middle, Garnett was still very tough. He suppressed Gasol again. The game was disastrous for many people. After all, the game averaged just over 10 after the finals. This is seriously inconsistent with his status as a giant, but Gasol is also very aggrieved. This year's Garnett is really too tough. Don't put a lot of effort into the defensive end, or Garnett is likely to fly higher!
But even so, Garnett still scored 6 points in a row in the interior, backed up, leaned back, and dunked. Garnett is worthy of the title of the No. 4 arsenal!
Not only that, Garnett has also done his best on the defensive end. If nothing else, seeing Ji Feng's super beautiful turnaround and dribbling, he will succeed in three hits. Garnett flashes quickly from the flank, making a strong defense and blocking the shot. After Ji Feng's layup, you must know that Ji Feng's layup is not easy to block. This is the first setback in Ji Feng's offense.
"What a kid! This is not a place where you rookie can go wild!" Garnett didn't care anymore, spit rubbish crazily, he knew that if he didn't use all his life's skills at this moment, then he really had no chance. .
After all, even if he played so well, the Lakers have already played out. With the strength of the home court, the Lakers have repeatedly succeeded in their offense under the tsunami-like cheers of tens of thousands of fans.
Kobe turned his back to play Ray Allen, faked the defense, and scored two points with a dry pull!
Fisher missed a three-pointer, Bynum beat Perkins to win the offensive rebound and scored the goal with one hand!
Ji Feng slid the bottom line and hit the ground to score the ball, Kobe caught the ball and made a small throw!
So after 6 minutes in the third quarter, the score difference was still 8 points. Garnett's defiant block had just won a chance for the Celtics to narrow the score.
But it is obvious that Ji Feng doesn't eat trash talk. He has long known that Garnett's trash talk is top-notch, and the content is real trash. Most people will vomit blood when they hear it, but Ji Feng is already immune to such damage.
Didn't you block me, then Ji Feng also responded with defense!
The Green Shirts attacked, and the consecutive inside lines made the Green Shirts taste the sweetness. Ray Allen and Pierce were actively pulling on the outside line at the moment, and Rondo also made a breakthrough, but Ji Feng understood that this was just creating space for the inside line.
Sure enough, after Rondo pretended to break through for ten seconds, Garnett lifted up, Rondo went over to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, Garnett went down after blocking, and Rondo scored!
A perfect online pick-and-roll coordination. Garnett used his iron elbow to prop up Gasol. As long as he gets the basketball, the front is the basket. According to his ability, the three-step shot is bound to win, and Bynum dares to make it up. The defense is either foul or two plus one, but Ji Feng has been watching their actions!
Anticipate in advance!
Ji Feng jumped high in front of Garnett, tapped his right hand, and pointed the basketball out of Garnett's control.
Fisher likes to get the basketball from the sky, the Green Army's attack failed!
"Oh hoo! This is my territory!" Ji Feng shrugged and ran quickly on the fast break. Garnett was chasing after him.
Fisher scores the ball in the middle, Ji Feng catches the ball in the air and dodges the ball into the basket!
"Beautiful! Respond to the ball! If you block one of my blocks, I will break you one. In the end, the score is still mine! It's amazing!" Instructor Zhang looked at HIGH, this offense and defense looks good~!
The momentum of the Green Army was finally suppressed by the Lakers again. In the second half of the third quarter, the two sides made many adjustments. Rivers replaced James Posey to play a small lineup and strive to score quickly.
The Lakers went on to Radmanovic. The white big man made his debut in this game and performed well. The big brother was fighting in front. Limit the breakthrough of the Celtics.
anxious!
The hit rate of the two sides is still impressive. It takes 4 to 5 shots to exchange for a hit. The score has always been very low.
But Stern is not in a hurry. Even if it is like this, the ratings have been soaring. At this moment, it still creates the highest ratings record in the history of the NBA Finals. Everyone is waiting for the start of the last quarter!
The third quarter ended like this, and the Lakers still maintained a 7-point advantage at 67-60!
The championship suspense continues!
The two sides entered the final 12 minutes of the final battle!
The Greens don’t dare to make substitutions. Rivers trusts the five starters at the moment. They are 7 points behind and still play the role of chasers. Strictly speaking, 7 points is not a big gap, and they still have a chance. .
But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ji Feng used a sudden three-pointer to give them a head-scratcher!
The Green Army was shrinking the inside line throughout the game, because the Lakers’ previous tactics were obvious, and they were determined to play inside. Whether it was Ji Feng, Kobe, or a substitute, breaking through with the ball was always the first choice. The Lakers made only 4 three-pointers in three quarters. Hit a ball.
This is a very common tactic in this era. The more critical moments are, the more the ball must be hit inside, everyone thinks so.
But as everyone knows, Ji Feng has prepared a big gift for them!
This will be the last straw to overwhelm the Celtics!
