After Scott's roar, the offense of the Hornets changed a lot. Their offense became more ferocious. Accompanied by the roars of the Hornets fans, they finally tied with their opponents in the last minute of the second quarter. At the end of the game, shooter Peja hit a three-pointer on the left side of the three-point line.
The score was now 39:36.
The Hornets led by three points. This result made Scott's face look much better, and it also made the atmosphere on the substitutes 'bench thaw a lot.
Shen Nan's blood was boiling as he watched from the side, but at the same time, he also noticed that something was wrong."I've exhausted too much of my stamina." He could feel how desperate the Hornets were just now.
This was not just the pressure on Scott, but also the pressure on the home ground.
When the fans 'roars and shouts pressured the opponents, they also put some pressure on the Hornets, especially when they were at a disadvantage. That kind of scolding and shouting was simply a kind of coercion, forcing them to fight for their lives.
Paul was only 22 years old this year, so he could still hold on physically. However, the veteran Mike James was 32 years old this year. His physical strength was obviously not enough. At this moment, he was pouring mineral water on his head and panting heavily. It seemed that he had consumed a lot of energy.
Scott was also aware of this, but he had no choice. The strength of the first-line players of the Hornets was not bad, but the strength of the substitutes was a little lacking, especially now that they were only three points ahead of their opponents. He did not dare to make the choice to substitute easily.
He could only hold on for a while.
"Try your best to conserve your strength. You have to fight steadily.”Scott instructed when the second half was about to begin.
However, when the match started, his advice was useless.
Both sides were fighting too fiercely!
The atmosphere in the New Orlean basketball stadium was too explosive. The fans were shouting at the top of their lungs, as if the entire basketball stadium was trembling. Their roars and shouts made all the participating players feel their hearts beat faster and their blood boil.
None of the players on the Hornets wanted to lose, nor did they have the face to lose.
They just didn't know why the Boston Celtics could persist until now. Logically speaking, under such strong pressure, they should be in a bad state, but they played even more fiercely than the Hornets.
In the third minute of the fourth quarter, the Hornets fell back to six points. Even though they were still working hard, everyone could see that the situation was gradually slipping.
When Paul dribbled the ball alone across the court, he made a beautiful combination with the veteran James. However, he had no space to shoot after entering the lane. He could only pass the ball to West inside the three-point line.
Logically speaking, West's jump shot should have been stable when there was no one around to defend him, but he missed.
The worst thing was that after the basketball hit the iron, it bounced up high and was instantly snatched away by the Celtics 'center, Garnett, and scored another quick goal.
At this time, the score had already expanded to 8 points.
This situation made Stecker's expression extremely grim. If he lost this game, his dream of winning the championship would definitely be gone. In addition, the Hornets lost at home, which was a huge blow to the team.
"Shen Nan, get ready and do some warm-ups.”He suddenly turned to look at Shen Nan.
"Me?" Shen Nan was stunned for a moment. He thought that he had no chance in this match.
"It's you." Scott stared at Shen Nan. He didn't see any signs of fear or nervousness, which made him feel much better."I've said before that you're our trump card, our trump card. Now it's time for you to play. After you play, don't use those ultra-long three-pointers directly.”
Indeed.
Even if it was a substitution, it would not be done casually. This required time for substitutes.
Shen Nan couldn't just take five shots and then leave. If it was that simple, then the Hornets would be one player short after Shen Nan took the shot, so they had to make the best use of him.
"Don't worry." Shen Nan was full of confidence. He stood up and warmed up his wrists.
Soon, someone noticed this scene. Huang Meng and Zhou Li were the first to notice.
"Are you going on stage?" Zhou Li was so nervous that her palms were sweating." But it doesn't matter even if I make a mistake. After all, it's my first time performing in the NBA.”She consoled herself. The first show was the most important!!!
"He's really going on stage!" Huang Meng didn't think too much about it. His eyes lit up."Quick, point the camera over."
The domestic live broadcast immediately saw Shen Nan's warm-up.
"Wow, he's really going to play."
"This is the treatment of a trump card. Coming out after falling behind in the game…Scott wants him to change the situation.”
"Is that possible? Didn't you see the performance of the Boston Celtics?”
"F * ck, are you still Chinese? Who are you looking down on?”
"That's right. At times like this, we should just look forward to cheering!!!”
"Shen Nan, you can do it!"
A series of bullet comments appeared in an instant, and almost everyone silently followed the formation.
For the Chinese, it was enough that Shen Nan could play. Even if it was embarrassing, it was embarrassing in the NBA. If you have the ability, go to the NBA.
Shen Nan naturally did not know that there were so many people supporting him online. His attention was on the basketball court. In the five minutes of his warm-up, the Hornets did not turn the situation around. Instead, they were still being suppressed by the Celtics.
The Celtics, who were leading by eight points, were in high spirits. They clearly planned to break through the Hornets 'defense in one breath and quickly expand the score.
However, the Hornets 'Paul and the others were not weak. Although their offense was a little weak, their defense was still quite good. The score did not expand further, only two more points.
The current score was 90:80.
"Substitute!" With only four minutes left in the game, Scott shouted for a substitution.
He replaced West.
Shen Nan went on stage…!
