Chapter 217 027: Key Victory
Gao Fei threw the towel to the caddy and cooperated tacitly, looking very chic.
James Posey came over to defend Goofy, shifted the focus of offense, and Kobe led the team forward in singles.
In the first half of the game, it was still mostly tactical confrontation.
After all, Garnett is a power forward with a large coverage on the defensive end, and he can't play many tactics.The situation of the two sides is similar, but in the away game, the Lakers are slightly at a disadvantage.
Gao Fei sat in the dressing room of the away game, closed his eyes and meditated, trying not to participate in the arrangement of the Zen master.
To put it bluntly, he is stronger than Zen Master, and as a player standing on the court, he can see certain changes more clearly.
He has made a decision to play dominant in the finals.
"Guys, it's time for you to return to the court." The staff paid attention to the time and reminded the coaching staff and players to return to the court.
Gao Fei opened his eyes and walked at the front of the team, like the vanguard of the ancient marching war, the first to return to the bright arena.
The second half of the game started amidst much anticipation.
Gao Fei received the serve from the backcourt, faced James Posey's defense, and calmly organized the attack.
James Posey didn't dare try to steal for fear of being easily passed.Lower the center of gravity, not only pay attention to Gao Fei, but also pay attention to the movement on both sides.
Gao Fei's passing is very powerful, coupled with his wide vision, he can seize the opportunity at the first time.If you are not careful, it will be a wonderful connection.
Kobe received the pass, faced Pierce's defense, and played singles with the ball on the left.
Goofy pulls to the right, minimizing James Posey's defensive threat.
Garnett stayed in the penalty area, giving offensive deterrence, and fully displaying his defensive ability on the field.
Kobe played calmly in the Western Conference finals, but in the finals, he will inexplicably bear a psychological burden and his efficiency will decline.
clang!
When the sound of iron strikes came, it was destined to rely on defense to find the field in the next round.
Kobe defended Pierce and also made his opponent hit the iron.
We have contacts with each other!
As the scale of physical contact becomes larger and larger, the sound of muscle collisions sounds frequently, and the efficiency is not high.
For as long as 5 minutes, neither side scored.
"Who can break the scoring shortage first?" Mike Breen asked a question.
Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy reacted almost simultaneously.They all thought it would be that man.
Gao Fei ran on the left side, came to the free throw line with the help of a screen, and caught the ball smartly.
After hitting the iron three times, he finally found the front sight again.
Rivers originally didn't want to call a timeout, but the opponent took the lead in the iron fight, so he still had to interrupt the game to prevent the opponent from gaining a psychological advantage.
The Zen master is very relaxed: "Doug Rivers is the most panic-prone head coach, and his adaptability is insufficient. We must grasp the details. If we can do it, we can suppress the Celtics."
When he said this, he kept looking at Gao Fei.
Gao Fei nodded, knowing what to do next.
Garnett has always maintained vitality and enthusiasm, vocally encouraging his teammates, trying to push them to make them play better.
There are also types of passive sabotage on the basketball court, and not every player can maintain the desire to win.The most typical performance is that except for playing well in the contract year, the rest of the year is just waiting to die.
This kind of player has strength, but most of the time he fishes in troubled waters.
Rondo is in charge of the Celtics, who continues to control the ball and steadily organizes the offense.
He couldn't break Gao Fei's single defense, and he was released two steps, and there was no good way.
"Let's vote!" Rondo couldn't find a teammate who had a chance, so he had to bite the bullet and do it himself.
A jump shot from outside the three-point line is a hit!
There was a scramble in the restricted area, and Garnett won in the end.
Snapped!
Luke Walton hit directly and sent Garnett to the free throw line.
The most indispensable players in the team are Goofy and Kobe. The rest of the team can call fouls and send Garnett to the free throw line, rather than directly launching a second offense.
Garnett high-fives his teammates, gets to the free-throw line, and tries to stay focused.
They studied the game video and found that Gao Fei would become extremely focused when he reached a critical moment.Perhaps it is because of this that he can play an incredible performance.
"Relax!" Garnett reminded himself secretly.
Made two free throws!
Free throws are a relatively simple way to score. If they can be hit, they can give the team a lot of help.
The battle between the two sides still failed to tell the winner.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the score was still very tight.
"There are still 3 minutes." Kobe drank the energy drink in the paper cup and said to Gao Fei who was sitting next to him, "If we win this game, we can regain the home court advantage. If the Celtics win, It's probably dangerous."
"Don't worry, they can't win." Gao Fei was full of confidence.
The only way for the Celtics to win is to win by a big score. At the critical moment, even if there is a big three on the opposite side, they can't beat the double super giants.
"You really have confidence."
"No way, wherever I am, there is a super team." Gao Fei heard the whistle, stood up, and walked back to the court gracefully.
Lakers 81-82 Celtics!
2 minutes and 56 seconds!
The Celtics have the ball!
Kobe glanced at the scoreboard, knowing that their time had come again.
In order to be on the safe side, Rivers chose the frontcourt sideline ball, which was served by Garnett, who is tall and long.
Rondo came out on a cover, received the pass, and found that the defender in front of him was Dudley.
Dudley is a relatively immature player, about the same age as Gao Fei, and his level is far behind.
Rondo barely felt the pressure, dribbling sideways and observing his teammates' positions.
Pierce is an offensive kaleidoscope, no masterful skills, but basically a bit.
Goofy was in charge of the defense, but Pierce still wanted a challenge.
Rondo passes the ball.
Goofy's strength is stronger than most small forwards, resisting Pierce's bottom plate and limiting his many fake moves.
Flashing and moving, there is no chance at all.
The Lakers players were all red-eyed, fighting hard, and never leaving the Celtics players.
Pierce couldn't pass the ball anymore, and it seemed that it would take 24 seconds, so he had to make a hasty shot.
Gao Fei quickly took off, intercepted in the air, and grabbed the cap to complete the defense.
"How could it be?" Pierce wanted to fight back, but the action was a little big, and the last foul was for nothing.
Since the confrontation in the fourth quarter has not weakened, there are a lot of fouls on both sides. Now every time a mistake is made, the opponent will be sent to the free throw line.
Gao Fei didn't care about which method to use to score points, he stood at the free throw line and took two points with a smile.
83-82!
2 minutes and 41 seconds!
Rondo received the backcourt ball, looked back, and found that the Lakers used the entire court to expand their defense.
"They are really changeable." Rondo was a little nervous, but there are many ways to avoid mistakes because of the number of fouls.
In the last two minutes or so, the pressure was extraordinary.
No matter how young and mature Rondo is, he is a little less experienced than Gao Fei after all.His intention to pass to Pierce was too obvious, and the ball was touched by Goofy's right fingertip.
Dudley's position was just right, seeing the opportunity, like a wolf that had been hungry for many days, he swooped over and hugged the basketball directly in his arms.
Gao Fei responded quickly, leaving Pierce, who wanted to create a scrimmage, in the air.
Rivers sighed, stroking his short hair, feeling a little off.
At this time, the test is the coaching skills. If you don't have two brushes, it will be difficult to deal with this complicated situation.
Gao Fei has fought too many tough battles, he is quite calm, and the top of the arc suppresses the rhythm.
James Posey was in charge of the defense, and he didn't dare to be distracted at all, for fear of defensive loopholes.
Garnett is a defensive leader who dares to curse, and sometimes makes more moves.James Posey has a kind of psychological pressure and wants to guard Goofy.
Some players, as long as he jumps up, the defense is not established.
Goofy leaned back to the limit, completely ignoring the defensive James Posey.
This kind of ball is completely unreasonable!
Superstar basketball!
85-82!
Rivers was helpless and could only call a timeout.
"Or, double-team him." Tom Thibodeau also knew that the effect of single defense was limited, and he had to use some means.
"Let's do it this way." No matter how bad Rivers is, at least he has played basketball for many years, knowing that double-teaming will inevitably lead to vacancies.Gao Fei feels hot, so he can only choose to limit the superstars and give opportunities to role players who are not such a big offensive threat.
"As long as Gao Fei gets the ball, immediately go over to double-team." Rivers arranged tactics. If he loses, he will bear the responsibility.
"Gao's dominance has already begun to show." Jeff Van Gundy led his team to play against the Lakers in the 06 playoffs. At that time, Gao Fei was not so strong.Sitting in the commentary seat now, I can analyze more calmly, and I can clearly see Gao Fei's progress.
In terms of personal skills, basically there is not much change, and what is more refined is the control of details, which has almost reached the peak.
It is very difficult to beat the opponent to death with top experts, and the comparison is who makes fewer mistakes.
The key battle of the finals is another close contest.This kind of game can see who has a tougher mentality.
Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen have complementary playing styles and are more balanced, but their level has never reached the high-flying level.
In other words, it's not that they are not strong, but that Gao Fei is too strong.
The Celtics almost violated the five-second serve, barely sent the ball, and could not play offensive tactics.
At this time, the fight is the giant planet.Whoever can score the ball is more powerful.
The defender Pierce faced was Goofy, who was a little timid. He didn't dare to come over to catch the ball, but chose to pull the defense far away.
Garnett put too much energy on the defensive end, consumed too much energy, and dared not take the initiative to attack.
The Celtics can only bet on Ray Allen.
"Ray, let's do something!"
Celtics fans have high hopes for Ray Allen.
Rondo throws the ball across, runs quickly to the hoop, and tries to add a bumper to the team.
Ray Allen used a little space to pull directly from outside the three-point line!
Swish!
Desperate Ray Allen!
85-85!
2 minutes and 12 seconds!
Thunderous cheers sounded from the North Shore Garden, and in an instant, they turned into shouts of defense.
Garnett remained absolutely focused, not only defending Odom, but also trying to help defend.
Gao Fei dribbled the ball calmly, facing James Posey's defense, dribbled the ball on the left crotch to find the rhythm.
The Celtics players didn't feel very good, and hurried over to attack, not wanting to give Gao Fei a chance to attack.
"I'm sorry, I've already found my hand!" Gao Fei broke the double-team in the same way as Jordan, using absolute stagnation to break through. As long as he jumped up, the defense was equivalent to being invisible.
Swish!
Answer Ball!
88-85!
1 minutes 57 seconds
The decibels of the fans who were cheering just now dropped by half.
Gao Fei entered a critical moment and turned on the God-killing mode.
"I finally understand why he wants to retire." Mike Breen said in a high tone, "He already feels that this league is no longer challenging."
Ray Allen wanted to respond, but in the end it was a bit short!
clang!
Gao Fei appeared in the right position, as if he had already guessed that the shot would hit iron, he stretched out his left hand, directly caught the moon in the air, and protected the defensive rebound.
Quick counterattack happens in an instant!
The Celtics ran fast, focusing on Goofy, completely ignoring Kobe.
At this moment, the game was turned into running and bombing by Gao Fei.
Kobe received the basketball, jumped hard, and dunked the basket vigorously with both hands!
SLAM DUNK!
90-85!
Stop the Celtics again!
After awakening from his rookie season, Gao Fei has been quite stable at critical moments, and has performed as a savior many times.Now that his mentality is mature, his performance is even better.
Celtics fans have basically never experienced such a desperate finals.They couldn't figure out how to reverse it.
There is only chicken soup left in Rivers' words, and there is basically no tactical aspect.
Pierce completely misfired, which greatly reduced the tactical level of the offensive end.
After returning from the timeout, Rondo connected with Garnett in the penalty area.
Odom didn't have too flashy and tough defense, standing between Garnett and the basket, with his hands raised high, like an extended version of wooden stakes.
Garnett took the initiative to find a confrontation, and instead of pushing Odom away, it affected his own shot rhythm.
clang!
Seeing the basketball being taken by Gao Fei again, Rivers shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of confusion.
He had already decided to use double-teams to limit Gao Fei, but these few rounds were basically defensive counterattacks.They misfired offensively when it mattered most.
Rondo was a little impatient and tried to steal the ball from Goofy, but was dribbled behind his back and hit his right arm, which was not in possession of the ball.
Bavita didn't blow the whistle and let the game continue. Such a choice gave the Lakers a chance to fight back.
Gao Fei counterattacked one-stop, knowing that James Posey was chasing him behind him, he leaned forward and dunked, disabling the defense.
92-85!
Offensive and defensive at critical moments, Gao Fei's personal ability was fully demonstrated.
The Celtics have a strong team, and they can't do anything about Gao Fei.
There is only one timeout left in Rivers' hands. He doesn't want to call again so quickly, so he can only choose to trust the players.
Garnett knew that his offense was not so stable, so he took the initiative to cover and help Ray Allen create opportunities.
Rondo wanted to pass the ball, but was restricted by Dudley.
Pierce received the ball and faced Goofy for a single.
"I don't believe it anymore." Pierce turned to face the frame and shot a jumper, deliberately increasing the backward range.
He didn't have this kind of muscle memory in the first place, and he made up his mind temporarily when his physical fitness declined, so he could only rely on luck.Obviously, luck was not on the side of the Celtics.
After Odom desperately protected the rebound, he announced that the game basically lost its suspense.
Although the Celtics did not give up hope, they did not have sustained strength on both ends of the offense and defense, and they could not restrain Gao Fei. In the final stage, there was a collapse of defeat.
"I have to say that superstars have really helped the team a lot in high-intensity games." Jeff Van Gundy only started to fly high after the whistle sounded at the end of the game.
"In this year's playoffs, Gao Fei is indeed at another latitude, feeling that he is not at the same level as other stars."
Lakers 96-88 Celtics!
Gao Fei scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. He played brilliantly at the critical moment, helping the team break through the North Shore Garden and regain the home court advantage.
In fact, for Gao Fei, the away game is not too disadvantageous.Once you're familiar with the Celtics' style of play, you already know how to play.
"Treat the next game as the last. If they can win, the Celtics will be gone." Gao Fei has decided to retire from the NBA and is willing to burn his passion and blood in the game.If they try their best to fight the Celtics, they can't stand it at all.
Zen Master never doubted Gao Fei's personal ability, and asked, "Gao, are you planning to end the series?"
"No, I decided to settle the next game." Gao Fei would not skip the matter in front of him.
"Then fight for the next game." Bryant said, "The Celtics players must have the same idea."
"It's very simple, it depends on who is more powerful."
Gao Fei thought that he would be able to win the championship with two more victories, so he retired, and decided to use all his strength to avoid variables in the series.
