NBA: The second generation of the strongest star

Chapter 240 The Last 24 Minutes
New York Knicks bench:

Andrew took a look at the data sheet of the Boston Celtics, and was startled.

WTF these two goods are a bit better tonight.

加内特4投4中，砍下8分3篮板；皮尔斯4投4中，砍下9分2篮板1助攻，两人合砍17分，带领球队在第一节顶住纽约尼克斯，战成27：27！

At the beginning of the second quarter, during Andrew's rest period, Rondo, who hadn't played in the first quarter, suddenly exploded!
First he grabbed an offensive rebound, assisted his teammates to complete a layup, followed by a defensive steal, and then a one-stop layup. Rondo's performance was not over yet, and then the New York Knicks' offense missed again, and Rondo played a defensive counterattack , fast forward, very fast.

Jimmy Butler wanted to use a foul to stop Rondo, but not only failed to stop, the moment the whistle sounded, Rondo took advantage of the situation and threw the ball to the basket.

The ball fell right into the basket.

"Referee, don't count, this is not a coherent action." Jimmy Butler immediately looked at the referee and shouted, and the rest of the New York Knicks on the field also looked at the referee, expressing the same meaning.

Several referees did not give a judgment immediately, but discussed it, and then announced that the goal was valid.

Rondo's defensive counterattack scored 2+1!

"Ahhhhhh." "Ahhhhhhh." "Ahhhhhhhh." "Ahhhhhhh." "Ahhhhhhh." "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.".In an instant the whole TD The North Shore Garden Arena was completely boiling.

Rondo walked to the free throw line, hit the free throw steadily, and scored three consecutive points.

Under the leadership of Rondo, the Boston Celtics played a 7-0 offensive climax, widening the gap between the two sides in one fell swoop.

"Timeout!" Coach Mike D'Antoni hurriedly called a timeout. He never expected Rondo's sudden outbreak.

Came back from a timeout and changed into the starting lineup, but the Boston Celtics immediately changed into the starting lineup.

The two sides formed a balance of power similar to the first quarter. You score a goal and I score a goal.

At halftime, the Boston Celtics entered the second half with a 7-point lead thanks to Rondo's outburst in the early part of the second quarter.

49:56
Back to the New York Knicks players in the locker room, no one spoke. This game is completely different from the previous two games. In the previous two games, they restricted the performance of the Boston Celtics' Big Three. They couldn't restrain them at all, as long as there was a little shooting space, they would make a shot, and even if they shot, they would still hit.

Faced with such a shooting percentage, the New York Knicks are helpless.

At this moment, Andrew was sitting on a chair, his mind spinning wildly, what should we do?what to do?
Andrew is very clear that their situation is very bad now. Pierce and Garnett are in a state of being off the charts. Secondly, Ray Allen has not played yet. In the first half, Ray Allen was only used as a check and only took 3 shots.

If Ray Allen suddenly explodes in the second half and suddenly hits a 2-3 three-pointer, the point difference will be pulled to double digits in an instant, and the situation will become quite bad, so Andrew can't switch to Pierce at all , Pierce still has to be defended by Wilson Chandler!
At this moment, the locker room door opened, and head coach Mike D'Antoni walked in. Looking around the locker room, head coach Mike D'Antoni couldn't help saying: "What's wrong? Everyone's faces are so stinky, isn't it just a difference of 7 points? Three three-pointers would have wiped it out."

Hearing the words of head coach Mike D'Antoni, the New York Knicks players came back to their senses a little bit, yes, it's just a 7-point difference, and three three-pointers can be evened out.

Coach Mike D'Antoni also added a fire: "Not to mention we have Andrew."

The players of the New York Knicks looked at Andrew in unison.

Andrew: "." Coach Mike D'Antoni put Andrew on fire, but can he refuse?Of course not.

What's more, how can a man say no!
Andrew stood up and replied calmly: "The coach is right, isn't it just a difference of 7 points, three three-pointers can be wiped out, let alone you and me, I will try my best to lead the team to victory."

Set up a flag!Hope you don't get slapped.

Andrew still clearly remembers that he scored 58 points in the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but in the end he was still no match for the three Thunder players who broke out collectively.

Now Andrew can only pray that the shooting percentages of Pierce and Garnett will not be as BT as they were in the first half.

"Boss, you are the best." Danilo Gallinari was the first to echo, and then the rest of the New York Knicks echoed.

At this moment, every member of the New York Knicks came out of the haze of the first half and welcomed the second half with confidence.

Boston Celtics locker room:

Compared with the atmosphere in the New York Knicks locker room, the Boston Celtics locker room is much better, after all, they are in the lead.

However, head coach Rivers still wants to remind: "We are only leading by 7 points. We must not take it lightly. Our enemy is the New York Knicks led by Andrew."

"What kind of player is Andrew, I don't need to say more!"

As soon as Coach Rivers finished speaking, the smiles on the faces of all Boston Celtics players disappeared instantly and became serious, especially the Big Three of the Boston Celtics, who recalled bad memories.

"We know, coach, we will never take it lightly in the second half. We will kill the New York Knicks at home." Pierce solemnly said.

(Ross: I'm all for it!)

"Yes, we're going to get revenge, beat the New York Knicks!" Garnett shouted, and the rest of the team followed suit: "Beat the New York Knicks." "Beat the New York Knicks." "Beat the New York Knicks.".The sound It resounded to every corner of the locker room, even to the outside.

Coach Rivers nodded in relief seeing this.

Then head coach Rivers came to Ray Allen, patted Ray Allen on the shoulder and asked, "Ray Allen, how do you feel about your left foot?"

Ray Allen shook his head and replied: "Everything is very good, don't worry, coach, I will not force myself."

Coach Rivers nodded, and then urged: "Then shoot more in the second half."

Ray Allen: "."

I also want to shoot more, coach, haven't you seen how tight Andrew is on defense?No matter how I run, he can post it.

Ray Allen was really suffering and couldn't tell, so he nodded and tried his best.

At the end of the short halftime, the two sides returned to the court. The second half is about to start. In the last 24 minutes, it will be absolutely who is the final winner of the game.
