Chapter 529 A lot of free throws
5 month 18 day.
Game [-] of the playoffs between the Bobcats and Celtics.
Some say this is the ugliest game in NBA history.
Originally, both sides of the battle had already used all their strength to compete.
Moreover, this is a tie-break.
A game of life and death.
The players have become serious.
This includes the Bobcats, who are already considered a sure winner.
It also includes the Celtics, who were not optimistic at all before.
No matter what tactics head coach Larry Brown uses.
At the very least, he allows the players to return to the game with dignity and exert all their strength to win.
Pierce opened the scoring for the home team.
It also greatly boosted morale.
Boston fans were also excited.
The home team showed all its momentum.
Then there is still time to play this game.
Go ahead and it doesn’t matter whether he can win the championship or not.
The home team showed its full strength, even if the final result was not satisfactory.
They won't say anything more.
Moreover, these players are all capable.
The way they are now, they are not bound to lose.
It's even possible that they can win the game.
And at the same time.
The game started to look different too.
Some people always like to jump out and exert their own influence on the game.
Some people always want to secretly enhance their presence.
……
The 3th minute of the game.
Wallace shoots.
Oden rushed to block the shot.
Compared to the beginning of the season, Oden has really grown a lot.
Moreover, although his bad habits have not been completely corrected, they are much better than before.
Zhou Yao was also very pleased with this.
In this way, Oden's sports career should last a long time.
He is only 20 years old.
Although, it is unlikely that he will truly reach the level of O'Neal.
But I want to retire after the age of 35, or even later.
It's better than being a parallel importer.
Oden did a great job blocking this shot.
The timing is quite right.
The shots are decisive and the movements are crisp and clear.
By the way, so far in the playoffs, Oden has averaged 1.8 blocks per game.
The difference is slightly worse during the regular season, with 1.6 times.
Next season, Oden has a chance to hit the top ten in blocks. If he's lucky enough, he may even hit the block leader.
But at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.
Signaling Oden's thug to foul.
Come on, Oden didn't even touch Wallace.
Does touching the air around Wallace count as a thug?
Oden wanted to step forward to argue, but Zhou Yao stopped him.
Wallace made two free throws.
However, Wallace's free throw shooting level is really not flattering.
It is not an exaggeration to say that O'Neal can teach him free throws.
2 free throws.
The point difference has not been widened, but the Celtics are still in the lead.
Zhou Yao looked at the referee coldly.
Was this a miscarriage of justice?
Speaking of which, misjudgments are part of the game.
However, Zhou Yao always had a feeling.
This does not appear to be a miscalculation.
……
Zhou Yao's feeling was quickly confirmed.
Just the first quarter.
The Bobcats were called for 14 fouls.
The Celtics got 20 free throw opportunities.
29: 40.
The Celtics led by 11 points.
Oden was also sent off.
between two games.
Someone saw Zhou Yao saying something to the woman behind him.
As the head coach, he did not lay out any tactics or even say any words of encouragement to the players.
……
The second quarter is over.
80: 80.
Zhou Yao made 17 three-pointers.
Just scored all 51 points of the team.
And of these 17 three-pointers, 9 were made within halftime.
The Celtics also scored 40 points.
However, the entire North Shore Garden became quiet.
Not even the most die-hard Boston fans cheered for the home team.
In this section, the referee can be said to be crazy.
Even the fans can see it.
They may not be favoring the Celtics, but they are targeting the Bobcats.
18 fouls were called in one game.
Gave the Celtics a full 36 free throws.
At the end.
Finally, some fans began to cheer for the performance of Celtic players.
Not for anything else.
Just because they see the core of their team.
Paul Pierce, the only one among the Celtics' five who was originally a Celtic, took the initiative to miss two free throws after getting two free throw opportunities.
"After all, they are still our own players!"
“You still have the backbone that a Bostonian should have!”
"We don't care about such a victory!"
A guy who is obviously a die-hard Celtics fan left this paragraph online.
It immediately received a lot of likes and comments.
Those who posted also expressed that they were die-hard Celtic fans, and some even posted evidence that they were in North Shore Garden at this moment.
"Are those damn people favoring the Celtics?"
"They are destroying the honor of our great team that won 16 championships!"
"We have so many championships!"
"Although, since 1986 to now, we have not had a championship for 21 years!"
"But if this is the case, we can win the championship!"
"We are not rare!"
……
The game continues.
By the third quarter.
JR and Durant were both sent off.
PJ Tucker and Tony Allen, the two defensive backbones, also committed 5 fouls each.
Zhou Yao has also committed 4 fouls.
"I just do not understand!"
"Zhou Yao already started shooting three-pointers in the first half."
"He didn't even have a Celtic player next to him."
"Did he do something heinous to the Celtics' home court?"
"Is this a foul?"
"What I want to say is."
"Those bastards are not worthy of being referees at all!"
"They are committing a crime!"
"What they did is the greatest insult to the sport of basketball!"
"As a former professional basketball player and current basketball commentator."
"I'm ashamed to live on the same earth as them!"
Barkley could no longer commentate on the game.
In fact, there is nothing worthy of his continued commentary in such a game.
Kenny Smith also said he had nothing to say.
"One thing I'm sure of now."
"These guys are not taking money from the Celtics."
"They are here to take revenge on society."
"If they take money from the Celtics, then they just need to put some pressure on the Bobcats."
"Instead of calling Bobcat players endless fouls like now."
Finally, the game is over.
Or more accurately, the farce is over.
The Celtics took a total of 92 free throws.
And in the free throws again and again, the game was torn to pieces.
No one, including Celtic fans, will be happy with this game…
