NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 271. 272. I am invincible against rookies, and the stars face off with one defense and one defense (68)

After returning from the fourth quarter, the two sides temporarily sent a substitute lineup to confront each other.

In the confrontation of the substitute lineup, the Bobcats had the absolute upper hand, but at this time, the referee began to come out to find his own sense of existence.

In two consecutive offensive rounds, the Bobcats were whistled for offensive fouls.

Angrily, Liu Rui jumped up and down the court, and yelled at the referee.

If it weren't for Bickerstaff and others beside him, Liu Rui might suffer another technical foul.

If Liu Rui got another technical foul in the first game of the playoffs, it would really be a big hit.

This season, Liu Rui has received two technical fouls in the regular season.

And these two technical fouls were also against the 76ers.

Liu Rui, who has always been known as a salted fish, was so furious because the referee whistled for Kevin Martin's dribbling while on the move.

Regarding the penalty of this ball, although Liu Rui refused to accept it, Liu Rui did not say anything.

But after coming back for the second time, the referee actually whistled Divac's offensive screen foul.

The call for this ball completely ignited Liu Rui, because Divac didn't make any extra moves for this ball.

It's just that the glove Payton hit Divac's body while going around the screen, and then the whole person lay back directly.

Faced with Payton's superb acting skills, the referee actually whistled the Bobcats offensive screen foul.

These two penalties obviously made Liu Rui very dissatisfied. Although the Bobcats are still ahead of the Celtics, Liu Rui still took the initiative to call a timeout from the sidelines.

After returning from the timeout, Liu Rui chose to take the main lineup of the Bobcats ahead of schedule.

After all, in the second half of the third quarter, they had rested for a long time, and this time they came up with their main lineup so early, which also showed Liu Rui's determination for this game.

Obviously, Liu Rui was very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty on the court just now.

In order to avoid extra problems, the strongest lineup on the field was taken in advance.

The difference is that in the center position, Liu Rui still uses the old star Divac for the time being.

Because the game is in the fourth quarter, any small mistake may affect the trend of the next game.

To be conservative, Liu Rui decided to use Divac off the court. After all, Divac's experience on the court can help young players stabilize the situation.

Otherwise, if the referee makes two more unfair penalties, the momentum that the Bobcats managed to gather in the first three quarters may be destroyed by itself.

With the return of the main lineup of the Bobcats to the field, and there is veteran Divac on the field to stabilize the morale of the army.

It quickly became very difficult for the Celtics on the offensive end.

Taking advantage of the dead ball period, Rivers also took all his starting lineups, and the two sides will start the final duel of this game at the last moment.

But at this time, the Bobcats are still in the lead. In the next matchup, the two sides will fight back and forth.

Because the Celtics' two main players on the offensive end have received the Bobcats' key care.

This has kept the Celtics from chasing points.

Although the efficiency of the Bobcats on the offensive end is also beginning to decline.

Consecutive three-pointers from the outside were not scored, but the Celtics still had no way to break through the Bobcats' defense to score.

This has also led to the current point difference on the court that the Bobcats have always been in the lead.

Seeing that the game time is getting less and less, Rivers off the court is also becoming more and more anxious. After Pierce got the ball on the court, he took the initiative to assume the banner of the team's offense.

But Liu Rui still let Wallace maintain a single defense. Facing Gerald Wallace's defense, Pierce's offensive efficiency has not been very high.

Until 1 minute before the end of the game, the Bobcats led the Celtics by 7 points.

In the next offensive round, as Pierce missed a three-pointer from the outside, Okafor also protected the backcourt rebound.

Without asking for a timeout, Liu Rui stood up on the sidelines and shouted to the players:
"Hold down the rhythm, look up and pay attention to the time, hold down."

With less than 1 minute left on the court, the Bobcats are in an absolute lead, and the goal will be scored regardless of whether it is scored or not.

As long as the 24 seconds are exhausted as much as possible, it will become very difficult for the Celtics to make a comeback in this game.

Mo Williams tried to suppress the clock in the frontcourt. When the clock was about to run out, Mo Williams called a pick-and-roll to Okafor.

With the help of this pick and roll, the shot from outside the three-point line is very decisive.

By this time, the physical strength of the players has been greatly consumed, even though Payton has tried his best to interfere.

But Mo Williams still found the shooting space.

sigh~
38 seconds before the end of the game, Mo Williams successfully hit the three-pointer.

And successfully let the Bobcats lead the score to 10 points.

With this three-pointer, it also completely killed the game.

After this goal, Liu Rui on the coach's bench jumped up excitedly and gave Mo Williams his thumbs up.

As Rivers called a timeout, after the timeout came back, the Celtics missed a three-pointer from the outside again, which also declared the official end of the game.

By the end of the game, the Bobcats were in a first-round playoff series.

successfully with:
103:93
A 10-point win over the Celtics.

While winning a good start for this round of the series, it also became the only game in the four games of the day that was played with a gram! !
With the end of the game, the players on the Bobcats field also started to celebrate crazily.

After all, no one thought that since the Bobcats could reach the sixth position in the Eastern Conference this season.

And in the playoffs, they also won this good start.

Even if the next game, no one knows the result, but so far, the Bobcats have become the brightest dark horse in people's eyes.

Mo Williams performed very well in this game. Facing the defense of the defensive gate Payton, he played 32 minutes and scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

And also hit the fatal three-pointer with a big heart, helping the Bobcats completely take away the victory of this game.

Wallace, the team's leading star, performed equally well in this game.

在与皮尔斯的对位中，华莱士本场比赛出场了34分钟，13投7中，三分线外4中1，罚球2中2，得到了17分9篮板6助攻的数据。

And on the defensive end, there are 3 steals and 2 blocks.

The most important thing is that in the matchup with Pierce in this game, Wallace has always defended Pierce on the defensive end.

In the absence of defense, Gerald Wallace restrained Pierce very well.

It can be said to be one of the important contributors to winning this game.
