The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 299 298. The Ultimate Battle Comes to an End; Abolished... Hastily... (7 words for a monthly ticket)

At the end of the three quarters, the Magic ended the first three quarters with the Celtics leading by 8 points.

This result was obviously beyond the expectations of many fans, and even the Green Army fans who were watching the game online at the moment felt a little worried.

If it is only eight points behind after three quarters, then for the defending champion, this is definitely not an insurmountable obstacle.

However, in this game, the Celtics not only fell behind the Magic by eight points after the end of the three quarters, the most important thing is that in this entire game, the Celtics did not even take a temporary lead once.

And this also means that the Celtics were suppressed by the Magic throughout the game, so this is what worries the Celtics fans the most.

After all, after the end of the third quarter, so far, Celtics fans don't seem to see any hope of a comeback for the team.

In addition to the team's own big problems on the offensive end, the most important thing is that Su Jiu of the Magic obviously put tremendous pressure on them.

Especially when Su Jiu was holding the ball on the offensive end, it simply made the Celtics fans feel terrified, for fear that Su Jiu would get windy and take the game away in a wave.

That's right, the reason why the Celtics' performance in this round of the series has been ups and downs is because the Magic has indeed exploded far beyond people's imagination.

The main reason is that the defending champion team has already had a big problem internally.

The biggest problem is that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between Rondo and Ray Allen.

Even on the court, there are often strange scenes where Ray Allen still does not pass the ball in the face of an open space.

Even though this kind of behavior has been repeatedly warned by Rivers, the two have a tacit understanding on the court, and even the normal cooperation has a big problem.

Among them, some of Ray Allen's straightforward remarks caused a big gap between him and the other core members of the Celtics.

So this is the main reason why Ray Allen's performance in this round of the series plummeted.

It is also a major factor in the Magic's ability to compete with it in this round of the series.

After all, after the Big Four won the championship last year, several people currently have selfishness in their hearts.

Anyway, the career has already been rewarded with the championship ring, so it will be difficult to really twist the rope in the future and launch an impact towards the championship.

After returning from the fourth quarter, the two sides still temporarily sent substitute lineups to compete in the first half of the fourth quarter.

As usual, Allen Iverson is still leading the Magic's bench lineup.

Because after many adjustments to the lineup, Van Gundy also discovered that when Iverson leads the second team to grab points, the court efficiency is often the best.

In addition to the fact that Iverson is already suitable as a scorer, the main reason is that Turkoglu and Lewis have been replaced in the starting lineup one after another.

The current second team of the Magic has two high-quality 3D players, Pietrus and Courtney Lee.

In addition, there are also "Polish Hammer" Gortat with excellent defense, weak defense and weak offense on the inside, and Amir Johnson, a crazy running and jumping man. This also makes the Magic's second team directly present a situation of four guarantees and one.

And this kind of crazy attack by one person, and the remaining four defensive players are obviously Iverson's favorite existence, and it is also the most used style of play in Iverson's entire career.

Therefore, under this system, Iverson is like a fish in water, and can fully concentrate on the offensive end.

Regardless of whether the offensive efficiency is efficient or not, anyway, the second team is based on him as the absolute core.

After all, the offensive capabilities of the remaining four are really limited, but on the defensive end, the remaining four can greatly make up for Iverson's lack of defensive capabilities.

It can be said that when the Magic set up such a lineup in the rotation stage, it can be said to have very high competitiveness, at least it is worthy of the Celtics' giant rotation.

With the passage of time on the field, the scores of the two sides have been hovering around ten points, neither showing signs of shrinking nor expanding.

And this situation is obviously a good thing for the Magic, because at this moment the Magic is the leading party.

As long as the time finally passes, the Magic will naturally win the ultimate tiebreaker.

However, as the time on the court dwindled, Celtics coach Rivers seemed a little anxious.

Because for Rivers at this moment, time is the most important factor in whether he can lead the team to complete the comeback.

So with more than eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, Rivers was already a little impatient, and gradually brought the main lineup back to the court in advance.

Seeing the adjustment of personnel on Rivers' side, Van Gundy also did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

After all, the game has reached the current stage, and the head coaches of both sides can no longer take time management into account, because the last few minutes are absolutely crucial for both teams.

With the gradual return of the main lineups of both sides, the purpose of the Magic team has become very obvious.

That is to actively reduce your own offensive rhythm. In each offensive round, try to delay the game time until the 24 seconds are approaching before making a shot.

On the defensive end, he also risked his life to defend him, resolutely not giving the Celtics a chance to quickly complete the offense.

Seeing these rogue adjustments by the Magic on the court, Rivers off the court is obviously getting more and more anxious, because as the game time dwindles, the Celtics' score shows no signs of shrinking.

Even in the middle of the fourth quarter, Su Jiu scored five points in a row on the court, and the score was stretched to more than ten points in one fell swoop.

Faced with this situation, Rivers decisively called a timeout, but during the timeout, Rivers didn't have many tactics to deploy.

After all, the two sides have already fought seven games in this round of the series, and it can be said that they are very familiar with each other, and the changes that can be arranged have already been adjusted.

So during this time period, Rivers can only keep cheering the players, hoping that the team can create some miracles in the next time.

However, Su Jiu in this game obviously didn't want to give the Celtics any chance to rebound.

After returning from the timeout, although the Celtics have become more and more determined on the offensive end of the shot, even when facing the Magic's close defense, they try to complete the shot quickly through the pick-and-roll.

I hope to use this method similar to rush shooting to get close to the score as quickly as possible within a limited time.

However, after returning from this timeout, Su Jiu, who had clearly seen the hope of victory, went all out with all his firepower.

Facing the rogue-like defensive intensity of the Celtics, Su Jiu immediately started to play with his life, and he played very resolutely on the offensive end.

Because in the first half, Su Jiu brought too many offensive opportunities to the entire Magic team by using breakthrough points, so after returning in the second half, the Celtics had already given up double-teaming tactics against Su Jiu.

And as the Celtics gradually began to increase their defensive actions, in the second half, the Celtics' single defense against Su Jiu actually had a relatively significant improvement.

And Su Jiu also reduced the number of kills he made on the offensive end. While minimizing the chance of injury, he also used his ability to attract the center of gravity of the defense to create more opportunities for his teammates.

However, after returning from this timeout, seeing that there was not much time left on the court, Su Jiu was already gritted his teeth and went all out to attack the Celtics' defense.

The whole person holds the ball on the offensive end with a "retrograde" attitude, which moved many home fans.

Especially when Su Jiu was breaking into the inside line, facing Garnett and Rondo's pursuit, he fell to the ground again and again.

But in this situation, Su Jiu just got up quickly, then reached out to pat the dust on his pants, and stood on the free throw line, ready to hit this crucial free throw.

Even in the late stage, when Su Jiu stood on the free throw line again, the entire Orlando Arena resounded with uniform shouts! !

"MVP~MVP~MVP!"

Karen: "Now we can hear that the entire Orlando arena is already ringing with the sound of MVP!!"

"You know, there are not many players in the league who can enjoy this kind of treatment, and even any one of them can be called a super giant in the league."

"But today, I think with Su's performance on the court, he is fully worthy of this title!!"

"It's not even an exaggeration to say that Su is the well-deserved MVP of this game!!"

Jinger, the commentator: "That's right, it's really hard for you to believe that Su actually led the Magic to push the defending champion to a desperate situation!!"

"And this is the first season of his career, and his age is only 21 years old!!"

With Su Jiu's sudden effort in the second half of the fourth quarter, the Celtics have been working hard to find a breakthrough on both ends of the offense and defense.

But as the time on the court dwindled, not only did the Celtics fail to gradually close the score on the court, on the contrary, under the personal leadership of Su Jiu, the Magic team still had a faint tendency to continue to expand the score! !

In the end, 1 minute and 24 seconds before the end of the game, the Magic at home had already led the defending champion Celtics by as much as 13 points in this tiebreaker.

Faced with such a situation where the defeat is already certain, Rivers off the court is obviously a little unwilling.

However, after Pierce missed two three-pointers at a 45-degree angle, the Celtics completely lost the last hope of a comeback.

In the end, after the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the Magic successfully played at home with:

105:91

They defeated the Celtics by 14 points and won the tiebreaker with a crushing attitude.

And even when the total score was 2:3 behind, the defending champion was forcibly overturned in the end, and he relied on a toughness to win the place in the Eastern Conference finals! !

At the moment when the whole game ended, Su Jiu on the field directly threw the ball in his hand into the sky.

Then he started running on the field, hugged his teammates one by one, and vented the excitement in his heart with loud roars.

As soon as the game ended, the Magic's bench frantically poured into the field.

Everyone rushed towards Su Jiu frantically at the first moment, crushing Su Jiu under him in a short period of time, and quickly piled up a mountain of human flesh.

And at the same time, at the moment when the game was completely over, the entire Orlando Arena fell into a state of boiling in an instant.

At this moment, all the fans broke out into heart-piercing shouts, and the eardrums of people whose decibels were so high that they were even vaguely sharp were a little stinging.

In addition, the fans in the entire Orlando Arena are wearing uniform blue T-shirts at this moment. While all the fans are celebrating wildly, the people in the entire Orlando Arena seem to be thrown into the blue ocean in an instant.

And the patches of blue fans in the auditorium are more like the layers of roaring waves in the sea.

Looking around the entire arena, this level of magnificence is definitely at the top of the league.

Even many photographers at the scene turned their cameras to the direction of the auditorium immediately to record this shocking and passionate scene.

But at this moment, when all the Magic fans started to celebrate crazily, some players on the Celtics side had already started to leave the field first.

Only a small number of players stayed on the court, and after hugging other Magic players, they left the court with a look of disappointment.

Among them, although Doc Rivers led the team to lose this high-profile tiebreaker, after the game, Rivers still hugged Van Gundy on the sidelines.

After sending a few words of blessing, he turned and left the Orlando Arena with a little reluctance.

But when he walked to the player channel, Rivers finally looked back to the middle of the court.

And when Rivers saw Su Jiu who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the court, panting heavily, his face full of disappointment finally revealed a sense of helplessness.

"Hey."

At the same time that many emotions were combined into a sigh, Rivers finally turned around and resolutely left the Orlando Arena.

But at this moment, Doc Rivers' slightly lonely back forms a very sharp contrast with the cheerful atmosphere of the entire Orlando Arena.

Obviously everyone is staying in the same arena, but at this moment, the player tunnel on the Celtics side and the audience seats on both sides completely present a side of heaven and a side of hell...

In this life-and-death tiebreaker, the Magic team was able to win this game, and Su Jiu can definitely be called the number one hero in this game.

Su Jiu played a total of 42 minutes in the game and only took a 6-minute rest.

在这出场的42分钟时间里，苏久个人在进攻端23投13中，其中三分线外6中2，罚球11中8，犹如拼命三郎般的砍下了36分7篮板9助攻以及3次抢断的数据。

It can be said that in this tiebreaker where the defensive strength has reached the historical level, Su Jiu's data can definitely be called full of gold.

The reason why the Celtics were suppressed by the Magic throughout the game was precisely because the Celtics had not been able to find the best way to limit Su Jiu.

After all, in this round of the series, the Celtics have used these methods one by one for Su Jiu, whether it is double-teaming, throwing or sticking close.

But no matter which method is used, Su Jiu seems to be able to help the team win in his own way.

It can be said that in this round of the series, the Celtics want to limit Su Jiu's personal performance, and it seems that they can only pray for Su Jiu's poor touch in this game, not the team's defensive strategy against him.

In addition to Su Jiu, driven by Su Jiu's scoring in the first half, the rest of the Magic team also contributed a good performance in this game.

其中全场比赛出场时间已经是高达44分钟的霍华德则是10投6中，罚球7中4，最终交出了一份16分14篮板以及5次封盖的数据。

Although Howard's performance in this round of the series can only be regarded as mediocre, even due to the downturn in the previous few games, he was once called weak and incompetent by fans.

He said that Howard was simply sorry for his title as the All-Star ticket king, and even more sorry for the title of Warcraft he carried.

But in the last few games, Howard was beaten by the Celtics' defense with his own blood.

In the end, with the help of Su Jiu's tandem, Howard showed his power. Under the situation of being sanctioned by the two insiders, he even fought two battles to turn around! !

至于刘易斯则是14分5篮板2助攻，艾弗森17分4助攻5抢断，特科格鲁7分5篮板5助攻。

In addition to the stable performance of the starting lineup, another dark horse for the Magic in this game is the "Little Li Flying Dagger" Courtney Lee who came off the bench! !

In this game, because Van Gundy needs Iverson to lead the second team to grab points more, Courtney Lee also played with the starting lineup for a certain period of time.

And when Su Jiu faced the Celtics double-teaming many times, Xiao Lizi firmly grasped the opportunity and played his reputation as Xiao Li Feidao.

Li Zi played a total of 28 minutes in the game, and 28 minutes also created a new playoff high in Courtney Lee's career.

在本场比赛28分钟的上场时间里，小李子个人高效的7投5中，其中三分线外6中4，罚球1中1，在打出过一次三加一的同时，最终也是贡献出了一份15分2篮板1抢断以及1次封盖的出色数据。

It can be said that Courtney Lee in this game not only seized most of the open shots on the offensive end, but also contributed a stable defensive efficiency on the defensive end.

而在本轮与凯尔特人队的这七场较量里，考特尼李在场均出场19.4分钟的情况下，则是能够以41.2%的三分球命中率贡献出场均7.3分2.1篮板以及1.1次的抢断。

It is not even an exaggeration to say that with Courtney Lee's performance in this year's playoffs.

When his rookie contract expires, there will definitely be many teams in the league willing to offer him a decent salary contract.

After all, Courtney Lee, who is still a little green at the moment, not only has shown excellent defensive awareness, but also has a very stable offensive three-pointer.

So for such a 3D player who can do dirty work and is young enough, as long as Courtney Lee decides to test the free market, he will definitely become a favorite in the league.

You know, even in a top basketball league like the NBA, there will definitely not be many players who can eventually become superstars and have the ability to take on the position of star.

So in this case, a high-quality role player like Courtney Lee is usually what the winning team needs most.

Because they can not occupy the ball on the court, but also can make up for the deficiencies of some leading stars on the defensive end.

Most importantly, their salary conversion ratio is definitely the highest in the league.

After all, the team signed this kind of player that needs his three-pointers and defense, so there is basically no situation where he can't run in or fail to meet expectations.

So it is no exaggeration to say that for Xiao Lizi, his future is already bright.

As long as he doesn't go too far, he can't become a high-profile superstar in the league.

But if you just want to survive in the league and find your own place, then for Courtney Lee today, this will definitely not be a difficult task.

After all, being able to have a place in the league without facing the risk of unemployment is already the inevitable dream of most players in the league...

As for Courtney Li being able to transform into a butterfly, this also made Su Jiu, who had accomplished all of this with his own hands, feel a little gratified.

No matter how you say it, Xiao Lizi is definitely Su Jiu's best friend since he came here.

So when Su Jiu saw that his friends were also able to accompany him on the road to success, it made Su Jiu feel happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

As for the Celtics, they have experienced 7 consecutive high-intensity battles with the Magic. As the defending champion, the Celtics have already been seriously injured.

After all, no matter how you say it, except for Rondo among the Big Four, the other three are no longer young, so under this continuous high-intensity battle, the Big Three have already lost a lot of their physical strength.

Especially Garnett has long been unable to survive in this round of the series.

而在这场抢七大战里，加内特全场比赛只有11投3中，罚球4中2的贡献出了一份8分9篮板4助攻的数据就是其中最好的证明。

In addition to Garnett, Pierce's performance in this tiebreaker was also somewhat mediocre.

At the very least, I am sorry for his great reputation as the MVP of the finals. Pierce also played up to 43 minutes in the game, and also made 26 shots with the most shots in the game.

But Pierce made only 26 of his 9 shots in the game.

In the end, with an inefficient performance, he contributed 25 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Although it must have been affected by the loss of physical strength, this is the case in competitive sports. No one can guarantee that they can always stand at the top of the league, even if the Celtics are the defending champions of this season...

In the press release after the game, the media obviously had a very strong desire to interview the Magic team's victory over the Celtics in the tiebreaker, thus reversing their advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

After all, in this round of the ultimate series, which is like sparks hitting the earth, it has attracted the attention of most fans.

So at this moment after the game, the media's desire to interview was completely exposed.

Among them, Su Jiu, the biggest contributor to the Magic's victory over the Celtics in this round of the series, was once pushed into the spotlight by the media.

Facing interviews from various media reporters, Su Jiu, who led the team to win the tiebreaker with difficulty, did not appear as rampant as before.

Because the team has already won, it is obviously not a glorious thing to comment on the right and wrong of the old rival Celtics at this time.

So Su Jiu, who was well aware of the many mistakes he made, only answered the questions of several reporters in a more official way.

However, when the reporter asked Su Jiu if he had any opinion on the team's challenge against the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals the day after tomorrow, that is, on May 5, Su Jiu was obviously in a daze for a moment.

After all, this round of the series can be regarded as hell-level difficulty for the Magic.

So Su Jiu had long regarded this round of the series as the finals. Even after winning the game, Su Jiu was so excited that he thought he had won the championship trophy.

I have completely forgotten that I just qualified for the Eastern Conference semifinals, and will face the challenge of the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals.

What's even worse is that in this round of the series, the Cavaliers have already swept the Eagles with a total score of 4:0.

So when the Magic are exhausted at this time, the Cavaliers have already rested for a week.

And in addition, the Cavaliers are the number one in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, so it has an absolute home court advantage.

And this question from the reporter obviously brought everyone on the Magic team back from the excitement after winning the game to the cruelty of reality.

Even at this moment, not only was Su Jiu vaguely feeling a bit of pain, even Stan Van Gundy, who was currently sitting in a high position, unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.

The expression of the whole person seems to be saying:

"?????"

"It's useless..."

"Sloppy..."

　Here is a chapter with seven thousand characters, please ask for a monthly ticket, brothers! !

　　It's really hard, I have to eat a meal, and I have to write the chapter of tomorrow morning at night, what a crime! ! !

　　vomiting blood...
