Chapter 352 A juggling throw! The Knicks are cornered!
"boom!
A loud noise reached everyone's ears, Lin Long, Ewing, and Camby slammed into each other like sandwiches, and then the three lost their center of gravity at the same time, overlapped and fell from the air. down.
And until this time, the basketball has just reached the highest point, falling vertically from the position near the top of the backboard!
"Shh!
A crisp sound, like the most beautiful fairy sound in the world, passed through the microphone behind the basket and entered the ears of everyone at the scene!
The referee's raised hands quickly waved down, and at the same time, he blew his whistle.
Lin Long scored 2 points, and he will be fined!
This amazingly difficult toss shot, got a chance to hit 3 points!
"My God! This ball is simply too terrifying! Lin Long's control over his fingers, his control over the basketball, and his innate touch are so enviable!
Smith couldn't help shaking his head and exclaimed.
"Yes, if I say it, this shot is 10 times harder than Lin Long dunking directly across these two strong men!
As an athlete, Kenny used his more professional perspective to analyze Lin Long's ball.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to your backyard with a basketball, try to sprint at full speed and then take off suddenly, then throw high with one hand, you don't need to reach the arc of Lin, as long as you can reach half the height of the rebound! Try it out and you'll know how hard it is!"
"His requirements for the player's touch and body control are absolutely so high that you can't imagine it! Not to mention that Lin has to face the joint defense of two defensive experts with a height of more than 210 cm! He can find it between lightning and flint. The opportunity and the way to shoot!"
"And it's definitely the best solution! At this point in the game, Ewing and Camby would definitely rather bring Lin down completely than give him a chance to dunk! Head-to-head is definitely not a good choice in this situation, Lin Wisely chose the most ingenious and lightest way to get these 3 points! 39
"Knowing that the opponent will commit a foul, he still faces the challenge and makes a quick shot before the collision to ensure that he can score a goal. Lin's goal is definitely a combination of wisdom and courage!"
Kenny gave Lin Long a very high evaluation with his professional athlete's vision!
On the court, the Celtic players rushed over excitedly. They pulled Lin Long from the ground and hugged him one by one to celebrate.
Once again, Lin Long saved the game with his inexplicable performance!
Looking at Ewing and Camby who were a little lost, Lin Long walked to the free throw line with a smile on his lips.
Since the playoffs, Lin Long has maintained a 95% free throw percentage!
Sending him to the free throw line, and giving the Celtics a point directly, has long since made no difference!
With Lin Long making a solid free throw, the score became 89:85.
The Celtics' lead has come to 4 points!
There are only 21 seconds left in the game time!
This ball from Lin Long almost killed the game!
Next, as long as the Celtics don't make mistakes and stick to the 3-point line without fouling, the chances of the Knicks reversing the game are infinitely close to 0!
Lin Long's own data also came to 35 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
On the Celtics side, Big Ben had 2 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, Rashid had 15 points and 6 rebounds, Sprewell had 13 points and 3 steals, and Billups had 12 points and 7 assists. All starters scored in double figures!
The top scorer was Patrick Ewing, who had 21 points and 15 rebounds.
With the strength of the second half of the fourth quarter, Jordan also scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Alan Houston also scored 17 points.
Van Gundy sullenly called out the last pause on his hands.
Lin Long's 3-pointer at this time is too murderous! He almost directly killed the Knicks' efforts!
After a long time, amid the noise and expectations of the fans, the two sides took to the court again.
Patrick Ewing served, and Michael Jordan, Larry Johnson, Alan Houston and Chris Childs, four of the Knicks' best shooters, lined up, waiting for the referee's whistle.
On the Celtics side, Billups, Bowen, Sprewell, Lin Long and Rasheed are deployed. This is their most mobile lineup with the best perimeter defense!
Now the Knicks have come to the edge of the cliff, except for betting on 3-pointers, they have no way out!
As the referee blew the whistle, the eight people on the court began to run, and Rasheed stretched his long arms desperately to interfere with Ewing's serve.
After continuous running and screening, the Knicks' first chance Jordan and second receiving target Alan Houston met the Celtics' strict defense and failed to get the basketball.
Finally, before the 5-second violation, Ewing's ball went to Larry Johnson!
In front of this talented power forward is Lin Long!
This time, it was Lin Long who suggested to Bird during the timeout that he should follow Larry Johnson himself!
Because Lin Long knew that in his 1999 Eastern Conference finals, Larry Johnson hit that 4-point shot that was enough to make him go into NBA history!
Lin Long didn't dare to let others guard Larry. If this happened to his team, wouldn't his 3-point play just now be in vain?
Although Lin Long didn't tell Bird why he did this, and there was no way to tell, Bird still agreed to Lin Long's request!
At this point, outside the 3-point line, Lin Long was staring at Larry Johnson, and the distance control was very precise, not only covering Larry's breakthrough route, but also making him uncomfortable shooting, not to mention making Foul! After continuous dribbling and rhythm changes, Johnson found helplessly that Lin Long still maintained a perfect defensive posture, and Johnson did not sway out of any position and shot space at all!
Seeing that the time was getting shorter and shorter, when the Celtics almost completely let go of the basket and the 3-second zone, Jordan and others could not find a suitable 3-point shot. Johnson finally clenched his teeth and suddenly dribbled the ball. Sprint forward, then stop abruptly, collect the ball abruptly from beyond the 3-point line, and then make a shot fake!
Lin Long's eyes lit up, knowing that this was the end, he immediately went up to meet him, but instead of jumping, he raised his hands high, using his physical fitness and terrifying wingspan to completely cover Johnson's shot angle!
If Johnson had just shot directly, the ball could still be thrown and hit, but after that fake action, he would have lost all the space to shoot.
After the continuous shaking failed to get space, Johnson could only helplessly give the ball to Jordan who came to catch the ball. After Jordan got the ball, it was too late to pick it up, and he pulled it directly outside the 3-point line. 3 points shot!
"Boom!"
The rhythm and timing of this shot were uncomfortable, not to mention Bowen's sloppy hands next to Jordan and his feet under Jordan's feet.
Bowen's disgusting defense still affected the balance and integrity of Jordan's shot. Even after Jordan's shot, Bowen quickly retracted his foot, which didn't really put Jordan in any danger, but this defense still allowed Jordan no rhythm!
After the sound of the hammer, the entire Madison fans let out a huge sigh.
Yes, Madison fans!
This is the third game in the series, and the Knicks have failed to win two games at the North Shore Gardens.
The second final score was even more than 15 points! It was a complete rout.
But although they returned home with a score of 0:2, the Knicks players were still full of confidence before the start of the third game!
In their opinion, losing two away games is not a big deal, winning the home game and getting the game back to the same starting line is what Knicks fans want!
But this game still let them down. Although the score between the two sides has been biting to the final stage, Jordan missed the lore again, and his desperate 3-pointer failed again!
The Celtics won their third straight game!
The big score of the Eastern Conference finals came to 3:0!
The Celtics have match point in hand, and it is only a matter of time before they can enter the finals again! The Knicks, on the verge of being eliminated, have truly stepped on the edge of the cliff!
