Chapter 327 Despicable and shameless!
The Clippers chased the score difference to only two points. Rivers did not call a timeout. Billups dribbled through Rondo again, but his final layup was defended by Garnett and Perkins, losing the center of gravity and falling down.
The referee did not call a foul on the inside of the savage Celtics, and Billups did not make a layup before falling to the ground.
Ji Guoqiu and Rondo competed for rebounds at the basket. No one saw when this little guy rushed in, but the guy had an extremely accurate grasp of the timing of jumping, plus the pair of extremely long arms and big hands, he almost grabbed the rebound on Brother Panda's head.
"Be careful, this little bastard is going to be a slut."
Brother Panda received a reminder from the little fox in his heart, and he also saw Rondo slapped him in his telepathy, hoping to imitate Perkins' malicious foul before and have a direct slap in the face!
"Good boy, you're ruthless!"
Ji Guochou reacted quickly and leaned back with the basketball in his arms. Rondo's thin body was immediately knocked out by Ji Guochou.
Rondo is not clean in playing basketball, but this time he was the only one who suffered the loss. Ji Guoqiu's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally... Anyway, he finally pushed hard on Rondo's lips, and blood dripped before Rondo landed.
When Garnett saw his younger brother getting red, he came up to argue with Ji Guoqiu, but the latter shook his head innocently, saying that he didn't know what was going on at all. Looking at his puzzled expression, the black-bellied giant panda began to pretend to be stupid, and his acting skills were absolutely five stars.
The referee blew the whistle and rushed to the scene. He also acted as a malicious foul this time when he was against Ji Guochou. In the end, he only showed a technical foul.
The coaches on both sides were not satisfied with such a penalty. Rivers believed that this was a malicious foul and should be sent off!
But Old Dunleavy believes that Rondo's foul was first due to the ball, and Ji Guoqiu made an unintentional move, so Rondo should be judged for a foul.
North Shore Garden Stadium was once again crowded. After greeting Artest's ancestors for 18 generations, Boston fans targeted Ji Guoqiu's curse.
They didn't care whether the giant panda was really innocent or not. Seeing the face that looked like Ji Guohuo, the Celtics fans said they would scold them first.
Rondo's lips were opened by Ji Guoqiu. If it weren't for braces, he would have to lose at least a few teeth. However, even with existing braces, Rondo felt that his teeth had been loosened, and maybe a few would have to fall out in two days.
The Celtics replaced Rondo with Cassel, who quickly ran back to the locker room. The Celtics team doctor felt that the wound on his lips was too big and needed stitches to stop the bleeding in a short time. Rondo hurried back to the locker room for treatment, and he was thinking about playing again later.
Ray Allen made two free throws and the Celtics regained the ball.
This conflict, except for allowing the Celtics to get two free throws, did not have much impact on the Clippers.
Old Dunleavy replaced Mobley in the middle of the third quarter, and the Clippers players felt hot because of this conflict. Ji Guomeng, Billups, and Mobley each made a three-pointer, and the Clippers players made an attacking wave and quickly overtook the score.
In the third quarter, the score was 83:80, and the Clippers were again led by 3 points.
Rivers looked at the time and made a cruel decision to replace Ray Allen and Garnett, leaving Pierce alone. The Celtics coach's plan is to let Ray Allen and Garnett play the whole quarter in the fourth quarter. Pierce rests for a few minutes, and Al Thorton can completely replace the Celtics Captain for a few minutes.
Old Dunleavy was much more cruel than Rivers. He had no plans to replace the twins in the second half, only replaced Billups and Artest, and replaced Mobri and Garcia. At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers had a lineup on the field: Brevin Knight, Mobri, Garcia, Ji Guomo and Ji Guoqiu.
Celtics lineup: Cassel, Al Thorton, Pierce, Glen Davis, PJ Brown.
In this lineup, Dunleavy resolutely double-teamed Pierce. The five Celtics players, except Pierce, have poor independent attack capabilities.
Although Kassel's shooting is accurate, the Clippers will not give him a chance to shoot easily. The threat of the 39-year-old alien's breakthrough can be ignored; Thorton's breakthrough ability is outstanding, but there are twin brothers who assist in defense at the basket, and he is not worried that he can directly attack Huanglong with his finishing ability. Besides, Mobry's defense is not a big loss in his footsteps, so he can completely prevent this rookie's breakthrough; the other two Celtics are not too threatening, and the Clippers can completely focus most of their energy on Pierce's most threatening point.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Celtics' offensive end suddenly silenced, and the Clippers' inside line became a no-fly zone for a while. The Celtics players could only choose to attack from the outside. The continuous sound of iron shots made the Celtics fans feel as if they were hit by punches in the chest. This sound was so lifeless!
The offensive end is not good, and the Celtics' defense is also quite bad. A group of old arms and legs can only rely on experience, and their legs cannot keep up with the Clippers players at all. The shortcomings in the strength of the Celtics bench are fully exposed.
Blevin Knight received the order from old Dunleavy and pointed at Kassel, making a strong breakthrough. He made a shot when he had the chance, and passed it to Panda Brother, allowing the latter to continue to attack PJ Brown. This is also an old guy who is almost 40 years old. The Clippers' tactic is to target the two 39-year-old veterans of the Celtics and play singles frantically!
Rivers only took Cassel in less than two minutes and immediately used a water dispenser to guard the saint. Eddie House, who was 183cm tall, replaced the alien who was broken into a sieve.
Brevin Knight had previously forced Cassel to score twice in a row, turning the score into 87:80. The Celtics' situation was already very dangerous.
As a point guard, House, the player, has average ball control ability, no organization ability, and is just as good as defense. His speed and explosive power are sloppy, and his height is only 183cm. Apart from his good shooting ability, there is basically nothing that can be shown.
Such a player may become a star player like Iverson in CBA, but in NBA, he is a useless person who eats it and is not a pity to abandon it.
Blessed with no other orders, Brevin Knight continued to rush towards House. He used the emergency stop to change direction again to get rid of the Celtics' third point guard who was very average in defense.
PJ Brown had to come to make up for defense of Brevin Knight. As a result, Brother Panda was directly hung on the basket in one second. The Clippers played a wonderful aerial relay cooperation, forcing Rivers to call a timeout.
"Damn!" Rivers cursed in his heart. He never expected that Old Dunleavy would use Brevin Knight to break the deadlock, and this little man really made the Celtics' defense a whole lot. This was so disgusting.
The score was 89:80, the Clippers suddenly broke out at the end of the third quarter, and the whole team charged towards the double-digit lead. Now they were only one point away from completing this task.
Boston fans were suspended and sang loudly the team song to encourage the team, hoping that in the last minute of the third quarter, the team could launch a counterattack and narrow the gap. Otherwise, the Clippers would lead the double-digit lead into the last quarter, which would be really done. Once the Clippers have enough lead, they will definitely use their excellent defense to defend the advantage, and they will succeed almost every time.
Rondo returned to the court after this timeout. In order to form the Big Three this season, the price the Celtics paid was that the substitute lineup was weak. If it weren't for the accident that Al Sorton and Kassel, their bench lineup would probably be even more stretched, and they might not be able to play in the finals at all.
After the timeout, Dunleavy did not adjust the lineup. Brevin Knight let Rondo take a step and half a distance to defend, giving the Celtics a chance to shoot three-pointers.
Rondo hasn't made a few three-pointers in the entire series. In 27 playoff games this season, his three-point shooting percentage is only 26%.
However, although a 26% shooting rate is a scam, it does not mean that Rondo can't make it once. This kid often has attribute bonuses after being injured. This is usually a passive skill exclusive to the stars. However, the second-year rookie of the Celtics also has this skill. Rondo's awkward shooting posture finally made a key three-pointer at a critical moment.
Ji Guomo turned around and deceived Glenn Davis at the three-point line with a foul, and he almost scored three plus one.
Rivers covered his face on the sidelines, feeling that he should have replaced Garnett and Glen Davis in advance in this round of the series. Rivers felt that his only function was to make Ji Guomomoto bear the title of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The Dead Fox smiled very happily when he saw this big meatball.
There are 35 seconds left in the third quarter, with a score of 89:83. Ji Guomeng will make three free throws this time. Rivers is worried about the rebounding problem, so he specially sent Garnett to protect the backcourt rebound.
"Boss, I thought of an extremely shameless plan." Ji Guomo said in his heart before the free throw.
"You forgot that we have telepathy. Needless to say, I already know, just follow your method."
Ji Guomeng stood on the free throw line and showed a cunning smile when he heard this. Taylor Swift in front of the TV knew that he must be playing tricks when he saw the virtue of this dead fox.
Emma Watson saw a close-up of Ji Guomo on the big screen, but she shouted like a silly girl: "So handsome!"
Even a girl's idea was the correct answer, especially Taylor Swift was very accurate. Ji Guoxiu's first two free throws were normal, and he made both free throws.
The Boston fans at the North Shore Garden Stadium have now scolded the insults such as "Sick Man in East Asia", "Pigtail Pig", "Communist Butcher"! But these free throws that could not stop Ji Guomo, instead made the two brothers angry and even more determined to make the decision to play tricks on the third free throw.
"Damn, I'm sure the whole American fans don't want us to win at this time, especially when we're almost overtaking their own geniuses, the Americans must want us to go backwards in the final sprint."
"You still use nonsense, remember to smash the right side, don't get the wrong direction."
Ji Guomeng smiled and made many female foxes foolish in front of the TV. Ji Guomeng made a "clang" for the third free throw. This was the first free throw lost by the twin brothers today.
"No, stop them!" Rivers saw the direction of the basketball popping out from the field, which was exactly where Brother Panda was standing, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat at this moment.
"Good job!" Ji Guochou didn't feel shameless about using such despicable and vulgar tricks. This is the champion ring. Many great players have never got one until they retire. No matter whether he is despicable or not, so what if he is shameless.
PJ Brown got the ball in time, and stepped forward and blocked the Panda Brother. If it was a normal free throw, Ji Guoqiu would have basically no chance. Unfortunately, this free throw was not an accident, but a man-made one. The basketball was farther than the Celtics players expected. Even if PJ Brown got stuck in the position, it would not be of much use, and he still couldn't stop Ji Guoqiu.
"mine!"
