·
Zhuan Zhu
The game resumed, the Knicks didn't cause too much trouble for the Celtics on the serve, and Krstic sent the ball to Durant.
Durant used Daniels' screen to successfully catch the ball, and Chen Yan switched defenses immediately.
Durant has a height advantage, and Chen Yan is very aware of this, so he pressed very tightly, otherwise Durant could dribble comfortably.
If Durant can't dribble comfortably, he can't shoot comfortably.
Chen Yan resorted to Death Coil, there was no need to save energy at this stage.
Durant's ability to handle the ball is good, but he has a fatal weakness, that is, his center of gravity is too high.
Losing the ball at this critical moment is fatal. To be conservative, Durant chose to protect the ball sideways.
The Celtics' plan to quickly grab two points was shattered, leaving Durant with only one choice left, and that was three points!
At this time, Rose used Stoudemire's cover to go around to the far end.
Durant's wide-ranging transfer!
After Rose received the ball, Curry was directly close to the body. The signal released by Curry was very clear. If you want to break through, it is up to you, but don't even think about three-pointers.
Just when Rose was hesitating, Durant ran towards him at high speed!
While catching the ball hand in hand, Rose blocked Chen Yan by the way.
Durant took a step outside the three-point line and took a step with his right foot, then turned around and shot!
Curry blocked it, but the interference was limited.
At this time, Durant has only one belief, and that is to make this damn three-pointer!
Durant's ball was not easy, and he leaned back a little after staying in the air, and after finding the shooting point, he shot it with a sniper!
The basketball crossed a perfect arc and got into the net!
110:112.
"what!!"
Durant raised his arms and roared angrily. At this moment, he felt that he was so radiant that he was the protagonist of tonight!
After receiving the ball from the backcourt, Chen Yan slowly advanced to the offensive half, with 26.7 seconds left before the end of the game.
Chen Yan didn't call a timeout, and didn't give the Celtics a chance to defend.
As for him, his thinking is very clear, but it is a waste of time.
The Celtics player responsible for defending Chen Yan became Durant.
Ace vs Ace!
The three-pointer in the last round gave Durant great confidence!
Durant sprayed trash talk while defending: "You can't make a shot! As long as you don't make this shot, I will kill you and throw a three-pointer like last round!"
Chen Yan responded while protecting the ball: "Kd, why are you so nervous that you are almost stuttering? I have a hundred ways to kill the game. Do you want me to shoot a three-pointer, a mid-range shot, or a layup?"
The two are playing a psychological game.
Both Knicks and Celtics fans are very anxious at this moment. For Knicks fans, this goal must be scored, otherwise there is a risk of being killed by the opponent. For Celtics fans If the ball is missed, the game is over.
With 8 seconds left in the round, Chen Yan activated it.
He chose to face Durant in the most manly way, that is 1v1!
Chen Yan continuously lowered his crotch, the rhythm changed from slow to fast.
Chen Yan chose to break through from the right, took a sudden step and then pulled back suddenly!
Durant didn't lose his position, and Chen Yan didn't receive the ball after pulling back. He left the ball with his left hand and took a sudden step to the left.
Durant followed, Chen Yan suddenly stepped on the ground with his right foot and retreated beyond the three-point line!
This set of tricks and moves is done in one go!
The soles of Durant's feet were already slipping a bit, but his consciousness told him that the ball must be sealed!
Durant pounced vigorously, just in time to hit Chen Yan's wrist.
The moment Chen Yan lost his balance, he threw the ball into the sky. "Three-point foul!" Just as Magic Johnson finished speaking, the basketball hit the backboard in a weird way, and then bounced into the net!
Durant was completely dazed and stood there at a loss.
Sitting on the ground, Chen Yan was also a little dazed. He was stunned by the deafening cheers at the scene.
After the goal was scored, the fans at Madison Square Garden knew that the overall situation was settled, so they spared no effort and broke out the loudest cheers.
It is no exaggeration to say that the stadium was shaken.
Magic Johnson covered his ears and said with a smile: "After this goal, the game is very clear. Durant's two three-pointers once overshadowed Chen Yan's limelight, but Chen Yan used the last shot to turn the spotlight back on. to myself."
Van Gundy nodded: "This goal has basically established the victory of the game. The Celtics players seem very unwilling, but this is the fact." The next second, Chen Yan stood on the free throw line.
There was a uniform shout from the audience:
"mvp!!"
"mvp!!"
"mvp!!"
This is undoubtedly a public execution for Durant, and Xiaoshuai's fragile heart was hurt again.
"Shh!"
Extra penalty hit!
110:115.
With the last 3.3 seconds left in the game, the Celtics didn't even bother to call a timeout. After serving in the backcourt, Rose casually threw one.
Not in.
There were cheers again at the scene, and the Knicks defended their home victory with difficulty when the coach was expelled!
"The Celtics were once close to winning the game, but Chen Yan's three-pointer was like an arrow piercing their hearts. Let us congratulate the Knicks for winning this victory and winning the series with a total score of 2-1. Take the lead!" Yu Jia was making a summary speech after the game.
The moment the whistle sounded, Chen Yan took the initiative to shake Durant's hand.Durant couldn't hide his disappointment in his eyes: "A very wonderful three-pointer, Chen, you won tonight."
"Kd, it was your two consecutive three-pointers that inspired me." After Chen Yan finished speaking, the two hugged each other sympathetically.
The two didn't exchange pleasantries for too long, and there were still several games to come in the series, so it wasn't time to say goodbye.
Chen Yan scored 55 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds tonight, another omnipotent stat.The fans are already used to Chen Yan getting this kind of super stats, and no one discusses it. What everyone discusses is more about Chen Yan's 3+1 that sealed the victory at the last moment.
That three-pointer really made many fans adrenaline surge.
Tonight is Chen Yan's stage alone. Back in the locker room, after taking a shower, a group of reporters put the microphone in his mouth to ask questions.
After answering a wave of questions, he has to rush to the press conference non-stop. For a pure player like Chen Yan, sometimes dealing with reporters' questions is even more difficult than playing on the court.
In the post-match press conference, Chen Yan did not publicly criticize the bald referee's decision. In the NBA, public criticism of the referee will be punished, but Chen Yan still sarcastically said: "This game is very difficult. We encountered some resistance in the process, and we lost a lot during the game, but we gained the most important thing, that is, we won the victory. Nothing can stop us. No matter how difficult the situation is, we can unite and rely on Use your own strength to win the game."
After Chen Yan finished speaking, many reporters smiled knowingly. Everyone could hear that Chen Yan was questioning Crawford's penalty.
In fact, it is not a big problem for Chen Yan to name him this time, because David Stern is already preparing to deal with Crawford.
The bald referee will be greeted with the most severe punishment for referees in history.
