Chapter 1059 "Truth" Arrives

"Dum~!!!"

"The Celtics request a timeout~!!!"

After the Clippers' sudden double-team defense caused Pierce to make a pass error, and George completed a counter-attack dunk, Rivers decisively called the penultimate timeout of the game.

There was only one minute and three seconds left in the game, and the two sides had already tied at 109.

The Clippers tied the score tenaciously, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.

"Hey, guys, we still have a lot of room for improvement so far, we have to do every detail~!!, we have to focus on the game itself, the opponent actually has nothing to do except to play offensive and defensive transitions. It’s such a good way to score~!!, so we have to avoid unnecessary mistakes and increase our hit rate~!!, the victory will still belong to us~!!, come on~!!!!”

Rivers told the players.

"The opponent has started to panic now, so our chances are getting bigger and bigger~ Basically, the opponent is Pierce attacking at the critical moment, so we have to pinch Pierce~!!, George, this task is yours, don't Let Pierce cheat into a foul, and now our foul count is full, so don’t foul easily, and don’t try to force steals, just defend normally~!!”

Lan Shengli reminded the players.

"What's more, we need to protect the rebounds, especially Garnett, and don't let him rush to grab rebounds~!! Continue to play Bass on the offensive end~!!, Facing Garnett Te, attack resolutely~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to remind.

After the timeout, the two sides did not make any personnel adjustments.

O'Neal and O'Neal are still sitting on the sidelines due to physical problems.

Big Baby and Garnett partnered inside.

While talking, Rondo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Garnett, Ray Allen and the big baby pulled to one side, and Pierce carried George on the other side to ask for the ball.

Sure enough, as Lan Shengli predicted, the Celtics still relied on the singles of star players at critical moments.

Pierce took the ball and hit George with his back.

Because he was afraid of fouling, George didn't want to steal the ball with his hands behind his back, but just put on his horse to defend.

Pierce's continuous back hits have reached near the bottom line.

I saw that Harden once again gave up his defense against Rondo and was about to step forward to double-team.

Because the last double-team got a sweet spot, so this time Harden's double-team choice is very firm.

Seeing this, Pierce sped up his offensive rhythm, and immediately half-turned, facing the basket, holding the ball in both hands.

Seeing that Harden was about to double-team himself, Pierce immediately carried George on his shoulders, creating some maneuvering space, and then immediately took off on the spot and leaned back~! !
Both hands took advantage of the opportunity to lift the ball from the side, and threw it with a soft touch.

At this time, Harden's double-team was just in place, and George was also struggling to block the shot.

However, because of the receding range, it is also difficult for George to complete the block.

The ball with very strong backspin flies towards the basket.

"Swipe~!!!"

The Nets soon heard a crisp and pleasant voice.

"Truth" Pierce hits a fadeaway jumper.

The Celtics continue to have the lead.

The time has entered the last 1 minute.

"Truth is truth~, such a goal is convincing, the defense has been done, but he is the truth~"

Lan Shengli looked at it and also sighed.

"As long as Pierce hesitated for a second just now, Harden's double-team will be in place, and Pierce will have no room to operate~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

At critical moments, "truth" can often really stand out.

But the Clippers still have a chance, after all, it's only a two-point gap.

After Harden dribbled to the frontcourt, he immediately set up a pick-and-roll with Bass.

Here Garnett used a large delay method, which made Harden's ball very slow.

Harden quickly gave the ball to George.

Here, facing Pierce, George didn't feel stage fright at all. He just dribbled the ball with his right hand, lowered his center of gravity and broke through.

After all, Pierce has played nearly 35 minutes in this game so far, and his physical fitness must also be a problem, so he is really not as good as the younger and more energetic George in the follow-up defense.

But Pierce's experience can help him make up for his lack of physical fitness.

I saw Pierce sticking to George from the side, allowing George to cut into the inside.

But don't think it's over
George obviously underestimated Pierce's defensive ability. George thought he had completely passed Pierce, so after holding the ball with both hands, it was obviously exposed in front of him.

Pierce's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he hugged the ball with both hands at the same time. Both of them pressed all four hands on the ball, and no one could completely control the ball.

Under normal circumstances, this ball is basically a situation where the ball will be scrambled.

But because George has already taken off, the situation is very different.

"Beep beep beep~!!!"

George refused to let go of the ball, and the referee immediately blew his whistle.

"Yeah~!!!"

The referee resolutely made a walking violation, and the North Shore Garden Arena boiled instantly.

After hitting a key mid-range shot, Pierce made another contribution on the defensive end.

With the last 39 seconds left in the game, Pierce's offense and defense basically killed the game.

"This is the truth~!!, this is Paul Pierce~!!!, this is the ability of the most valuable player in the finals~!!!"

The commentator on the sidelines also shouted excitedly.

Pierce waved his fist with a calm expression, approving his performance.

For a man who was stabbed more than ten times, almost bid farewell to the game, and was reborn from Nirvana, after leading the Celtics to the No. 17 championship in team history, Pierce has completed the sublimation as a professional player~! !

The content of his game, the feeling of his game, has reached another level.

Although George and Lan Shengli are still explaining to the referee that this is at least a scrimmage, the penalty cannot be changed.

The penalty has already been finalized.

Once again, George paid the price for his youth, and his impetuous offense made the Clippers lose their initiative on the court.

With 39 seconds left, the Clippers must defend the next attack.

While speaking, this side is still the same as the previous tactics. Garnett, Ray Allen and the big baby pulled aside, and Rondo gave the ball to Pierce.

"Yeah!!!!!!"

The fans in the North Shore Garden Arena have all stood up, shouting, and cheering for what may be the team's last attack.
