Chapter 140 Dangerous situation
The game has entered the most critical moment, and Collins' arrangement is understandable.

But on the court, the 76ers players found that the Celtics did a good job of breaking through the defense, shrinking the defense as soon as they were double-teamed, and all kinds of defenses were layered on top of each other, as if they had set up countless lines of defense.

"This is a pocket array!" Director Zhang blurted out in admiration.

Back from the timeout for the first attack, Tang Wenlong missed a layup after rushing to the inside, and Garnett grabbed the backcourt rebound.

He clapped his hands regretfully, quickly got up from the floor, and turned around to defend.

The Celtics' offense started from the weak side. Rondo directed Garnett to come out and do a pick-and-roll with him. After turning his back, Rondo moved up the line, and immediately used Garnett's pick-and-roll to get an open opportunity to advance.

He has long arms, looks good on the ball, and very few people can break him off the dribble.

The 76ers' strategy for Rondo has always been to prevent breakthroughs and not prevent shots. After Rondo came in, Lowry, who came around from the other side, waited two steps in front of him.

Rondo made a sudden stop and opened his hand for a jumper.

Lowry was taken aback. Rondo dared to use the offense he was least good at at this time?He gritted his teeth, stepped forward and yelled at the same time, hoping to interfere with Rondo's shooting.

The basketball crossed a trajectory, hit the board and fell into the basket!

"All of them can go in!" Collins' face became even uglier. Rondo rarely made a mid- to long-range shot in a game. He was the most unqualified athlete in the league's point guard position, but he shot at the worst time. in. 81 to 75, the Celtics lead by 6 points!
Tang Wenlong raised his head, and the timer showed that there were still 2 minutes and 47 seconds left.

Collins did not call for a timeout on the sidelines, even though at this time the atmosphere in the North Shore Garden was strong, and the Bostonians were in high spirits.

Tang Wenlong attacked from the frame, but Pierce took strict precautions.

The other players of the 76ers opened up the space, and there were only two of them left in the left half. The more critical the stage, the more they relied on the personal abilities of the stars.

Tang Wenlong made a breakthrough step by step, blocked Pierce with his left hand and ran two steps inside.

The Celtics immediately shrunk their defense and exposed the 76-point line to the 76ers brazenly, as if they believed that the [-]ers' players would not dare to shoot three-pointers.

Tang Wenlong's body stopped suddenly, he dribbled the ball under his crotch, and broke through from the left side instead.

Pierce also slowed down his speed like a shadow, and then approached Tang Wenlong, reaching out to interfere with Tang Wenlong's dribbling.

Tang Wenlong clasped his hands together again, as if he was about to shoot, but changed at the moment of closing, his left foot took a big step to the left, and after stepping on the floor, he turned around and shot a jumper.

Hit! 81 to 77.

The noisy voice in the North Shore Garden stopped and became much quieter.

"Defend the ball, defend it!" Iguodala cheered up his teammates loudly. Tang Wenlong's step-back jumper hit the team's morale slightly.

The Celtics fans are also nervous. It seems that the strength gap between the two teams is not as big as expected. At critical moments, anyone may lose the game because of one or two missed goals.

Basketball was handed over to Pierce. In the current Celtics lineup, Pierce is the most efficient in singles.

However, Pierce played very hard in this series, and his average of 16.4 points per game was not even as good as his regular season performance this year. The biggest reason was because of Iguodala's super gate-like defense.

After the Celtics made a tactical move, Pierce chose a step-back jumper that was almost the same as Tang Wenlong, but was interfered by Iguodala and missed.

The 76ers attacked with 2 minutes and 21 seconds left.

Tang Wenlong fell to the low post again, and the effect of post-up singles was mediocre, but he liked to catch the ball in this way, very stable.

"Bang!" Confronting Pierce, Tang Wen Xiaotiao took the pass from the outside line in one step.

After receiving the ball, he turned around and was spotted by Pierce, then turned to face-up attack, took a feint and made a mid-range fallback jumper. Pierce defended well, and the basketball was interfered and hit the front.

The Philadelphia fans who came to the scene to cheer sighed in unison, but they were immediately drowned in the cheers surging from the scene.

The time enters the last 2 minutes.

The Celtics attacked in a pick-and-roll, and Garnett was one-on-one with Speights in the mid-range. After a few steps, he suddenly made a jumper!The arms are raised high like a giant pillar.

"Shh!"

The net flower flew up, and this time it hit the middle distance again!

Garnett's shooting percentage in this game is also not high. He has only hit 14 of 4 shots so far, and only 15 of these 5 shots.

This opposite style of play broke Philadelphia's heart. It's too bad luck to make any unsure shots.

The offensive and defensive rotation, Tang Wenlong gave the ball to Iguodala, and Iguodala swayed the ball from the outside, and then went inside. Ray Allen, who was defending Iguodala, followed the defense very well. Darla didn't stand a good chance at all.

After the stagnation, the basketball was assigned to Lowry on the outside line. At this time, more than ten seconds of attack time had passed.

Pierce went up decisively and prevented Tang Wenlong from receiving the ball. Tang Wenlong turned to the outside line and found that the old ball was a mess of wit, so he ran back to the inside line.

At this time, Lowry had no choice but to force Rondo by himself. Rondo's height and wingspan were better than him, and his defense was one of the best in the first position.

At the free throw line, Garnett gave up his defensive player and double-teamed Lowry with Rondo.

Lowry panicked and subconsciously forced a jump shot.

"Snapped!"

Narondo stretched out his long arms, quickly cut off the basketball in Lowry's hand who was about to take off and shoot, and almost in the blink of an eye, he picked up the basketball on the ground and rushed across the half court!

Grass!

Tang Wenlong was really furious, he stepped up and chased back, but Rondo ran fast.

Tang Wenlong rushed to the three-point line, Rondo grabbed the basketball with one hand and completed a glider dunk, the first dunk in the entire series so far! 83 to 77, with 1 minute and 29 seconds left.

Collins had no choice but to call another timeout, which was one of the only two timeouts left for the 76ers.

Tang Wenlong walked back to the bench without saying a word. Lowry had an embarrassing look on his face. He also knew how fatal the mistake at the last moment was, but the time was too tight just now, so he could only choose this kind of attack.

Collins comforted Lowry, "You did a good job, Kyle, you did a good job. Don't have too much psychological pressure. This is not a match point. Even if we lose the game, we still have a chance. Keep your spirits up!" "

At the end of his speech, Collins clapped his hands loudly to encourage the morale of the team.

Tang Wenlong stared blankly at the arena, feeling infinitely exhausted in his heart...

……

After a timeout, the 76ers serve in the backcourt.

Time passed by every minute, Tang Wenlong and Iguodala crossed to cover and run in the penalty area. Tang Wenlong immediately attracted the Celtics to defend heavily. When Iguodala also turned to 45 degrees, unexpectedly There was no one following him.

Lowry scored the ball, and Iguodala dribbled a step from the outside to find the feeling, and made a three-pointer!
