Location: North Shore Gardens, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Background: The only tiebreaker in the finals of White Wolf's career, but he suffered a broken finger on the eve of the decisive battle, and his situation was critical.

In front of the Timberwolves is a terrible law that no one can change so far.

No team has ever won three games in a row in the Finals.It is possible to recover one game; it is also possible to recover two games; to chase three games in a row?If you really have this strength, you shouldn't be behind 1 to 3.

Not to mention the finals, even in the history of the playoffs for half a century, there have only been 8 major reversals from 1 to 3.

However, the situation of the Timberwolves is completely different from those reversals. They can reach this point because of Bai Jidong's personal performance like a god possessed.

Everyone was looking forward to the continuation of the legend, until the news came out that Bai Jidong's finger was broken.

This is a bolt from the blue, and a great legendary story may come to an end. Countless people feel sorry for the Timberwolves.

They could have knocked the Celtics down in one go, but this happened to them.

"At least, we have witnessed two unprecedented performances, and since God likes imperfect results, we can only accept it."

"I feel sorry for the white wolf's injury. Even if he is not injured, I believe that Boston can send them home in the garden. The bishop and countless Celtic souls are waiting above the garden for the successors to enter the land of glory. Not going to fail here."

The entire United States attaches great importance to this game, which is comparable to the NFL's annual event, the Super Bowl.

All the major TV stations sent reporters to the frontcourt to sit in the commentary booth. The top commentator was also Mike Breen, and there were two special guests, Chris Webber, who claimed to only comment on the Timberwolves game, and the world's number one Celtic. People fan Bill Simmons.

Both Breen and Simmons believed that the Timberwolves stopped here, and only Weber did not give up.

"How many people thought Minnesota was going to be defeated by Boston in Game [-] and end the Finals?"

"I believe that the legend will not end, and the difficulties will only add to the legend of the Timberwolves and the White Wolves," Weber said.

Simmons laughed: "Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Webber is explaining what kind of fan is called a diehard fan. He is a role model for all diehard fans."

Weber didn't take Simmons' teasing seriously, and his eyes fell on Bai Jidong, "I believe something different will happen tonight."

In the past few days, Bai Jidong has spent all his time getting used to the fact that only three fingers on his right hand can be used.

The ring finger and the little finger are entangled, which is basically useless. He needs to use his left hand more to play games.

Because his right ring finger can't be used, his usual shooting method can't be used normally.

As we all know, his shooting is a push shot, and the index finger, middle finger and ring finger work together.

Now that the ring finger can't be used, he has to forcefully change the way he shoots.

Using the index finger and middle finger to shoot is the most difficult thing to get used to.

Having played basketball for half his life, the instinct of shooting and the feeling of shooting have already integrated into his body, Bai Jidong wanted to find that feeling.

From outside the three-point line, Spanoulis passed the ball to him, Bai Jidong caught it, jumped up, the posture was the same as usual, but the way of throwing the ball was very different.

"Shh!"

Bai Jidong looked at the fingers of his right hand: "It feels good."

"White Wolf, is it alright with you?" Spanoulis asked.

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile." Bai Jidong said.

From the moment Bai Jidong was injured, the victory has become irrelevant, and Casey only hoped that he would finish the game well.

Casey knows how rare a player like Bai Jidong is, and he doesn't want this injury to affect Bai Jidong's future.

Mai Di walked up to Bai Jidong, looked at him calmly, "You are already like this, why do you still want to fight?"

"Because I haven't defeated you yet." Bai Jidong said.

"Hmph!" Maddie snorted coldly. "That's impossible. If you're not injured, you still have a chance. Now, we'll beat you to the point where you don't even dare to think about victory!"

"If we didn't think about winning, we wouldn't be here." Bai Jidong looked at McGrady, "I think we will win tonight, just like the previous two games."

Thinking of the previous two games, McGrady's heart trembled. No one wanted to face G5G6's Bai Jidong.

The main players of both sides played together, and for the Timberwolves, in order to increase (or to make up for the lack of firepower after Bai Jidong was injured), Spanoulis was put on the starting lineup.

Medved came to the court, ready to jump the ball, and he bounced like a monkey in a new world, the excitement was palpable.

Bai Jidong was injured, so they need to bear more.

This is Medved's idea, and it is also the idea of ​​​​the wolves.

"Silencer, I'll catch this ball, you don't have any chance, listen, you don't have any chance!"

Medved has already felt the sweetness of trash talk, and he loves it.

The referee's hand raised the basketball into the sky, Medved counted the timing, jumped faster than Perkins, and took the lead to catch the ball.

Bai Weidong grabbed the ball with his left hand without any pause, and the next moment, the ball had already flown to Vashabek's position.

The Honey Badger grabbed the ball and swept towards the hoop with ferocity like an irrational lunatic.

No one in the Celtics can stop Vashabek now, and they have to watch him complete a wonderful one-handed swing dunk in his own area.

"Wonderful! There was a Wolverine connection in the first round tonight!"

"This is the cooperation that white wolves and honey badgers often do!"

"These two really have a perfect understanding!"

Vashabek ran back and pointed at Bai Jidong, "Good pass, boss!"

Bai Jidong nodded and looked at Mai Di, "I told you, we didn't come to watch you win the championship."

McGrady took possession of the ball for halftime, and he admired Bai Jidong's courage to play with an injury, but courage is not enough to play a game.

Bai Jidong's injury affected every aspect of him.

Before, Bai Jidong was the most reliable defensive gate for the Timberwolves outside, but now?McGrady has the ball, ready to attack.

"The defense you are proud of has become the most vulnerable part of your body." McGrady said, holding the ball to the weak side.

Bai Jidong was worried that his right hand would collide with McGrady, so he reacted a bit slower, and then followed, intending to entangle him.

During this period, McGrady pushed Bai Jidong forward, knocked him away, and licked the basket with his left hand to score.

"You can't think of it? You have this day too."

McGrady is not ashamed of targeting Bai Jidong's injured hand, which Bai Jidong has to bear.

When you don't care about the consequences, that's the kind of thing you have to face.The game is not a game, and grasping the opponent's weakness is the most correct way to play.

What angered Bai Jidong the most was that he knew that McGrady would target his right hand, but there was nothing he could do when the situation came to an end.

"If you want to know how serious White Wolf's injury is, just look at T-Mac's attack just now. If it is a healthy White Wolf, T-Mac will definitely be blocked by him just now." Simmons said.

"It's what everybody does," Breen said.

"White Wolf's defense hasn't degenerated to such an extent, he just hasn't overcome the obstacle in his heart." Weber can see clearly.

Simmons said with a smile: "It would be great if it was so easy to overcome. How many people can overcome it on the court?"

Bai Jidong adjusts his mood, he can't mess with himself, this is what the Celtics want to see.

McGrady continued to defend in a targeted manner, blocking the right and leaving the left, "If you have the ability, come over." Bai Jidong felt very distressed when he saw such a large space on the left side of McGrady.

If he was not injured, how dare McGrady give him such a big space?
Bai Jidong was hesitant and unable to make a decision, so he passed the ball to Spanoulis.

Spanoulis called a pick-and-roll and, like a flying swallow, passed the defense through the pick-and-roll wall and went straight to the basket.

Garnett kept up with Spanoulis like a stroke of bad luck.

Spanoulis didn't realize the disaster was coming, his eyes fell on the basket, and he only wanted to score a layup.

When the ball was thrown above his head, it took less than half a second for Spanoulis' expression to change from indifference to fear. He saw a disturbing green figure approaching above him.

The ball has been shot, fate is inevitable.

Garnett's block was extremely bloody, as if he was going to blow the ball up, he nailed it violently to the backboard.

The bounce of the rebound exceeded everyone's expectations. Bai Jidong's position happened to be in the direction of the rebound. He caught the ball and passed it directly to Vashabek without stopping for a moment.

Vashabek, who happened to be open, made a three-pointer and missed. Garnett grabbed the rebound and counterattacked McGrady and the Celtics.

Although Bai Jidong's hand was injured, his feet were not slow, he quickly caught up with Mai Di and blocked his counterattack.

McGrady didn't want to stop here, he slammed into Bai Jidong's right hand with a heavy shoulder, knocked him away, and then scored with a backhand layup.

"Who would have thought that all the 4 points the Timberwolves lost at the beginning were all lost on you." McGrady mocked.

Bai Jidong couldn't answer, he was reflecting on his two defenses just now.

McGrady didn't hurt when he bumped into him. It was an instinctive reaction to dodge, and he hated this reaction.

If this isn't addressed, McGrady will get a lot of points on him this way tonight, which he doesn't want to see anyway.

If his appearance with an injury is counterproductive, then what does he come up for?
"It seems that the problem is not so serious. T-Mac just hit White Wolf, and his reaction was like hitting a big truck."

"In this case, either his hand really hurts, or he is afraid of confrontation."

"If White Wolf fights like this, then he is not a threat at all."

The narrators were talking a lot, the voices in the garden were surprisingly loud, and everything was going in a bad direction.

Bai Jidong looked down at himself, he had to adjust as soon as possible, and he couldn't drag others back.

"Boss, don't worry, it will be fine." Vashabek comforted.

"I'm fine." Bai Jidong didn't want to be the object of worry either.
