Dougreaves was so angry that he called a time-out and shouted,"The opponent's rookie player has already scored 46 points. Your defense is terrible. What you have to do next is to unconditionally double him and not let him score another point!”
As Wang Zhe scored 10 points in a row and closed the gap to only five points, Rivers called a time-out and changed into the main lineup in advance.
He gave the players a death order to not let Wang Zhe score again!
It was obvious that this regular season was filled with anger.
It was not the friction and collision between the players on the field, but more reflected in the fans. However, the confrontation between the Celtics and the Purple and Gold Army had always been like this.
No matter who was playing at home, the opposing team would definitely receive the " highest level " treatment.
At the same time, in Los Angeles, the fanatical Laker fans were watching the live broadcast in front of their screens.
Some fans even organized themselves and gathered in large cinemas to watch the game. Originally, the fans did not have much confidence in the game without Kobe.
But after seeing Wang Zhe's swift performance in the fourth quarter, the fans went crazy.
"Wang, he played so well. He's simply a hero in Los Angeles.”
"Even though he lost this match, Wang Zhe didn't lose. This is a real man!”
"No wonder Wang Zhe could hook up with a Hollywood starlet. He's a real man on stage!”
"Come on, Wang Zhe, we're all behind you. It's okay even if you lose. When the Celtics come to Staples, we'll pay them back tenfold!”
……
The game was not over yet, but Wang Zhe's heroic image of the team had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In this game, Pau Gasol was once again in a lost state, while Fisher was somewhat invisible. Only Artest could give Wang Zhe some limited help.
The entire team had relied on Wang Zhe to walk until now.
Now, he had already scored 46 points, a career-high score. At the same time, Wang Zhe was still struggling on the court. He did not rest for a second in the second half.
The fans in Los Angeles were indeed moved.
……
The pause ended and the match resumed.
The Celtics attacked, and Pierce made a mid-range shot to stabilize the score.
79:87
The Clippers were still eight points behind.
The moment Wang Zhe reached the front court, Garnett led the defense. When Wang Zhe finally got into position and received a pass from his teammate, the Celtics immediately double-teamed him.
Wang Zhe decisively passed the ball before the double-team closed. The Los Angeles team quickly conducted the outside line and found Vujasic in the open space. Unfortunately, his shot missed.
After being sandwiched, Wang Zhe had no space to grab the offensive rebound.
It looked like the Celtics 'defense had succeeded!
The fans, who had been silent for a while, let out deafening cheers again.
The Celtics attacked, and Pierce's shot hit the iron.
However, when he turned around, Wang Zhe was once again double-teamed. After the ball was out, Gasol's shot continued to hit the iron.
……
The situation was once again unfavorable for the Los Angeles team. Although they could defend against the Celtics 'offense, Wang Zhe's teammates could not make a shot after he was surrounded.
At the critical moment, Wang Zhe found a breakthrough and received the ball again. Just as the opponent was about to form a double-team, he decisively launched a breakthrough and drilled out from the gap between the two defenders. He rushed to the basket and once again attracted Perkins 'defense. He passed the ball to Gasol.
This time, with no one defending under the basket, Gasol finally easily dunked the ball in with one arm.
Whoosh!
Wang Zhe let out a long sigh of relief.
In this stadium, both on and off the field, the opponent gave enough pressure.
When he became the opponent's target, his teammates had to stand up to win the game.
Soon, Wang Zhe found a way to break out of this situation!
After all, the Celtics 'three giants were veterans. After fighting for the entire game, their physical fitness began to decline in the fourth quarter.
Relying on his physical advantage, Wang Zhe resolutely broke through the double-team and assisted his teammates to score.
He had completely revitalized the team!
……
Faced with such a situation, Rivers had no other choice.
In the tight schedule of the regular season, the veterans 'physical reserves were not very sufficient. At this point in the game, Garnett and Ray Allen both went all out on both ends of the offense and defense, and they began to show signs of physical decline.
However, if they were replaced, the character players would be lacking in quality and experience, and they would not be able to effectively organize defense and offense.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Paul Pearce took over the game.
Several times when the Los Angeles team was about to overtake, Pierce stood up and relied on his floor to help the home team pull away.
……
There was still one minute left, and the Los Angeles Clippers were still trailing by four points at 101:105.
Kevin Garnett was already panting. Whenever he could rest, he would hold his knees with both hands to fight for some physical return.
The former Wolf King also realized that he was really old. He knew that in order to win this match, he had to survive until the last breath.
Perhaps Garnett could not jump up anymore, but he still had other ways to help the team win.
