After the start of the fourth quarter, both sides began to rotate the lineup and made a series of layouts for the last moment of the game.

The Magic played very resolutely in this game, and everyone put in a tug-of-war with the Celtics.

Although the Celtics have a home advantage in this game, they still feel a little busy in the face of the Magic's style of playing that kills the master's mercy by punching him.

Among them, although Su Jiu's personal efficiency in this game was completely limited by the Celtics, when Su Jiu used repeated breakthroughs to drive the offense of other teammates, the defensive pressure faced by the Celtics was still very huge.

As the game time passes, both sides gradually regain the main lineup.

The Magic team members who returned to the court had a serious look on their faces, because in the previous few games, the Magic team was facing a collapse at the last moment.

Therefore, while the scores of both sides are still not different in the three quarters, the pressure of the game comes to the Magic Team as soon as possible, even if the Magic Team is more physically advantageous at this moment.

Faced with Rondo's close-fitting defense against him, Su Jiu seemed unhurried and impatient, as if he had become accustomed to this kind of pressure from close-fitting.

After all, after experiencing the first three games, Su Jiu has now entered the Celtics' key defense list.

Because of Su Jiu's phenomenal three-point shooting, Rivers was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat. Even whenever he thought of that scene, Rivers felt his right eyelid twitching wildly.

And it is no exaggeration to say that Su Jiu is now definitely the Magic's number one scorer in this round of the series.

In the following period, Su Jiu also led the Magic to keep a close eye on the score with a breakthrough pass, and the situation between the two sides was also in a tense stage in the fourth quarter.

Finally, 32 seconds before the final game, the scores of both sides on the court came.

78:78 square meters

With not much time left on the field, Van Gundy called a timeout immediately before this attack.

While wiping sweat off the court, he picked up the tactical board and planned to arrange the last attack of this game.

And since this is also the last timeout for the Magic in this game, during this timeout, Van Gundy had to make the worst plan and make instructions on the defense after the offense in advance.

"Guys, the game has reached this stage now, and it can be said that our next offense will completely affect the trend of this game."

"Think about how much we prepared for this game and how much effort we put in this game, so the next attack will definitely be very important to us."

"Xidu (Tkoglu), this ball will be served by you on the sideline, Dwight, and at the high position, you will do an unball pick-and-roll for Sue, and make sure he can catch the serve safely."

"We have to try our best to hit the basket. Even if the opponent's key defense is the penalty area, we still have to take the ball closer to the basket."

"Because we must end this ball in a more guaranteed way compared to the shooting outside the three-point line."

"Dwight, Xidu, when the sideline ball was successfully sent out this time, you two mainly did some offense pick-and-rolls on the offensive end to try to help make more space for the last ball."

"It doesn't matter even if there are some movements under your feet on the final pick-and-roll. As long as your movements are not particularly obvious, the referee will not blew the whistle easily at this time."

"Su, Allen, you two choose who to execute this ball depending on your personal situation. As for Rashad, you are responsible for ambushing the outside line. It is best to stand at the 45-degree angle on the left and not move at a large scale."

"Remember, if the Celtics double-team the two of Sue or Allen in this ball, then they will be able to find your place as soon as possible."

"And after receiving the pass, if your shot is better, then the ball will be executed directly by you."

"Of course, this is our last choice after we had no choice."

During the suspension period, Stan Van Gundy also quickly explained the players while sweating.

After all, the game has reached this stage. Whether the offense can be achieved this time has changed a lot to the current situation on the court.

Because once the Magic scored this goal, the pressure of this game will naturally come to the Celtics.

Even after this, the Magic will still face the risk of being defeated in the end, but at least psychologically, the Magic will have some advantages.

On the other hand, if the Magic's last goal fails to hit, the team will not only have to bear the risk of being killed, but will become very passive in the situation.

"Du~Du~"

As the whistle sounds on the court, this means that the game will continue to begin.

After returning from the timeout, both sides were under a lot of pressure, both sides were under a lot of pressure.

Even at this moment, even the fans of the entire North Shore Garden Arena are basically in a silent state.

Everyone was speechless, staring at every move on the field, afraid that they would miss some key scenes in a blink of an eye.

As the referee handed the ball to Tkogru, who was on the sideline, the Magic were running according to Van Gundy's deployment.

Moreover, after returning from the timeout, the Celtics' defense against Su Jiu and Iverson has gradually increased.

Obviously, in Rivers' heart, the Magic's last attack in this game is likely to be handed over to Iverson or Su Jiu for execution.

So after returning from the suspension, Rivers also took more attention to Su Jiu and Iverson.

However, on the court, Su Jiu relied on his flexible running position and the high-quality pick-and-roll made by Howard.

In the end, he successfully came out to catch Tkoglu's serve at a high position.

After receiving Tkoglu's serve, Su Jiu stood at the high position and stared at the time on the timer.

Although Su Jiu didn't know why Van Gundy didn't arrange to rush to throw a shot in this attack, Su Jiu guessed that this might have a lot to do with Van Gundy's coaching philosophy.

After all, although you can try to squeeze out some time when you rush to shoot, your hit rate is naturally unavailable when facing heavy defensive pressure.

Rondo, who was defending himself with the ball, even Su Jiu felt huge pressure at this moment, because at this stage it can be said to be the decisive moment.

What's more, the person who controls the ball at this moment is still himself.

Although Su Jiu often fantasizes about turning the tide at the last moment and becoming a hero of the team with a win.

But in reality, when it really reached this stage, Su Jiu still felt sweating in his palms, and his calves began to tremble unconsciously.

He looked up and watched the time on the stopwatch pass by little by little. Just when there were about 15 seconds left, Su Jiu finally moved.

Seeing Su Jiu's gesture at the high position, Howard immediately raised it and performed a pick-and-roll for Su Jiu.

Using the pick-and-roll, Su Jiu suddenly accelerated and rushed to the inside, but the Celtics obviously had expected this round of attack from the Magic.

So when Su Jiu broke through directly to the inside, the Celtics' joint defense lineup directly shrank inward.

While trying to narrow the penalty area as much as possible, this action can also ensure that everyone returns to their original position as soon as possible, thereby avoiding the Magic's sudden arrows from the outside.

However, when the Celtics thought that Su Jiu would pass the ball directly to the outside, or change the rhythm through pauses, Su Jiu continued to fight to the inside as if he hadn't seen it.

This was obviously beyond the expectations of the Celtics, because in these games, when Su Jiu faced the Celtics' contraction defense, he would choose to pass the ball directly to the outside in most cases.

Only in a very rare case can some medium-distance projections be carried out through rhythm transformation.

So at this moment when Su Jiu continued to focus on breaking through the inside, the Celtics suddenly realized that this guy was really facing the challenge!!

Garnett, who realized that he moved to the left immediately, hurriedly blocked Su Jiu's breakthrough route, trying to make Su Jiu an offensive foul.

After all, Su Jiu's current position has posed a certain threat to the basket. If Su Jiu is allowed to continue to break through to the inside, then this ball is really likely to be forcibly hit by Su Jiu.

You should know that during the timeout, Celtics head coach Rivers emphasized that the most important thing is to pay attention to the positions of Su Jiu and Iverson.

And repeatedly told the players that if there is no accident on the court, try not to double-team Su Jiu.

After all, Su Jiu has been breaking through and passing the ball in this game. Once the Celtics choose to double-team, other players will inevitably have an opportunity to have an open space.

Although other players didn't feel very good in this game, at this stage, Rivers would never dare to put this open space.

Seeing Garnett fixing the defense to the left as soon as possible, Su Jiu seemed to have expected all this.

There was no panic on his face, but he chose a very bold behavior under the gaze of the entire North Shore Garden Arena!

While walking, Su Jiu glanced at Garnett in front of him and Rondo who had been chasing him behind him. Instead, Su Jiu used his least good left hand to make a pass from behind.

Since Su Jiu passed this ball behind him, Garnett in front of him reacted after Su Jiu passed the ball.

But at the same time, the basketball flew towards Lewis at the 45-degree angle to the right.

However, since this ball was passed by Su Jiu with his worst left hand, the ball was seen to have a visible deviation when spinning in the air.

Fortunately, after Lewis discovered the movements in Su Jiu's hand, his whole body kept staring at the basketball.

With Van Gundy's tactical arrangements for him off the court, Lewis kept staring at Su Jiu's path, afraid of missing some details.

When Su Jiu passed the ball, Lewis immediately discovered that the angle of the basketball was flying towards him.

Although there were some deviations, Lewis started to move to the right. Before Garnett could react, he caught the pass in a hurry.

After receiving the pass, Lewis obviously felt a little nervous. Although he and Ray Allen led the team to the playoffs as early as the Supersonics period.

But at that time, the two were basically slaughtered, and in terms of the intensity of the game, they could not be compared with this round of the series.

Fortunately, Lewis is a well-known Mr. Billionaire in the league after all, so after a little straightening his body, Lewis directly made this three-pointer just before Garnett rushed towards him!

After Lewis's shot, the entire North Shore Garden Arena instantly fell into a silent state.

At this moment, all the fans were staring at the arc of the basketball in the air. This feeling seemed to be even the heartbeat was still for a moment, and even vaguely brought a hint of suffocation to many fans.

Not to mention the fans at this moment, even the head coaches of both sides were worried, clenched their fists tightly, and their eyes were completely indecisive on the basketball.

Barkley: "Rashard!! This shot!!"

"Bang!"

Under everyone's eyes, the ball eventually hit Blue's neck and broke out.

But before the fans could react too much, there was a very fierce hand-to-hand fight at the basket, preparing to compete for this rebound.

However, Howard was unable to defeat four hands at the basket with two fists, not to mention that Perkins was completely pressing on him at this moment, making it impossible for him to complete the jump comfortably.

So in the end, this defensive rebound was forced to be held in Garnett's arms. As soon as Garnett got the defensive rebound, Rivers hurriedly called a timeout at the referee on the sidelines, for fear of wasting a slight time.
