After the first three quarters of the game, the score on the court suddenly became 78:66.
Fang Chen¡¯s substitution at the end of the third quarter did not have a very good effect. Of course, it cannot be called a failure.
In order to increase the probability of reversal in the final quarter, the Celtics desperately chased points at the end of the third quarter. Although they failed to chase the point difference to single digits, a 12-point point difference is not a big problem for a super strong team like them.
In the last quarter of the game, Fang Chen did not do anything surprising. Instead, like other coaches in the league, he let the substitutes play on top step by step. After the main players have recovered most of their physical strength, let them return to the field for the final fight.
But overall, the Cavaliers still have a big advantage.
Kevin Garnett and other Celtics veterans are obviously reaching their limit. Although the Cavaliers players are running back and forth all over the court, they are young, extremely energetic before the game, sitting at home, and fourth. Now they still hold a double-digit lead, so the Clevelanders are very hopeful of winning four consecutive games in this game.
At the beginning of the final quarter of the game, the lineups of both teams were one starting player and four substitute players.
Cavaliers: Anderson Varejao, Antoine Jamison, Jamario Moon, Manny Harris and Daniel Gibson.
Celtics: Semi Eldon, Glen Davis, Paul Pierce, Vaughn Weaver and Nate Robinson.
The Cavaliers' lineup on the field can be said to be both offensive and defensive. Varejao and "Moon Man" can both defend, and the remaining three players are relatively good at offense.
In addition to defense, Cavaliers Jamario Moon is also good at three-point shooting, but most of the time he needs his teammates to be able to pass the ball, which is a bit similar to Joey Graham.
The Celtics' lineup on the field is biased towards offense. 'Little Potato' Robinson, Weaver, Semi Eldon and Davis are all better at the offensive end than at the defensive end, and even some of them can't defend. players.
Although ¡®Truth¡¯ is familiar because of his almost omnipotent offensive skills, his defense cannot be ignored.
With the Celtics' defensive end somewhat weak, the Cavaliers' offensive efficiency at the start of the fourth quarter was quite high.
However, the Celtics, led by Paul Pierce, are also holding high the offensive banner. The Celtics scored four of their first six possessions in the fourth quarter, including a three-pointer and a two-and-one.
Such a battle is definitely a feast for the fans at the scene.
The cheers at the scene were endless, and the DJ also timely mobilized the emotions of the fans at the scene.
As the game gradually comes to an end, the atmosphere on the court is becoming more and more tense.
Although he was in the leading position, Fang Chen still did not dare to be careless in the slightest. As early as the third minute of the fourth quarter, Fang Chen was standing on the sidelines, directing the team's offense and defense back and forth.
Fang Chen, who is not yet 26 years old, naturally cannot be as indifferent as Lakers coach "Zen Master" Jackson and Spurs coach **Veach. Even if these two people are behind at the last moment, they will not necessarily Will get nervous.
"Defense, stick tighter." Seeing that the team had another loophole on the defensive end, Fang Chen was a little anxious.
He attaches great importance to tonight¡¯s game. If the team wins tonight, then the four opponents they defeated will all have a winning rate of more than 50%, and two teams have the ability to win the championship.
In this way, your prestige in the team will definitely be strengthened, and it will also be very good for the team's morale.
"Pa", Nate Robinson's breakthrough layup was directly rewarded by Anderson Varejao.
Daniel Gibson from outside the three-point line grabbed the ball and launched a fast break directly. With a "swish" sound, Daniel Gibson faced Weaver's chasing shot behind him, made a time difference, and succeeded in a layup.
The point difference returned to 12 points. When Fang Chen saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In transition between offense and defense, Nate Robinson attacks with the ball.
"Defense, defense, defense" Under the guidance of the DJ, the home fans shouted "defense" loudly.
There were indeed some problems with the Cavaliers' defense just now, so the fans' encouragement also strengthened the players' defensive attitude.
"Pa", Robinson's pass was almost intercepted by 'Moon Man', and the ball bounced on Daniel Gibson's leg and went out of bounds.
Fang Chen took advantage of this dead ball opportunity and replaced Ramon Sessions again. The one who was replaced was shooting guard Manny Harris.He had no outstanding performance in the few minutes he was on the court, and even lost his position twice on defense.
Including the two minutes at the end of the third quarter, Ramon Sessions only rested for about six minutes after playing full time off the court.
But Fang Chen had to replace him on the court. Although the team's current offense is playing well, most of it relies on personal ability. This kind of offense can only rely on temporary touch.
Therefore, Fang Chen sent Ramon Sessions in order to make the team's offense more reasonable and the players to cooperate more. In this way, the offense will not only be smooth, but the players' physical strength will also be preserved. .
It was Nate Robinson's breakthrough again, but this time, Anderson Varejao was held near the free throw line, so the former got a chance to hit the basket.
But just when Nate Robinson was about to rush to the basket for a layup, suddenly a figure rushed to stand outside the reasonable collision area in advance, and Nate Robinson's jumping body directly hit him.
"Dip", the referee did not hesitate to call Nate Robinson for an offensive foul.
At this moment, people also saw clearly who blocked Nate Robinson's attack in time.
Ramon Sessions!
Fans at the scene had to praise Ramon Sessions for his excellent defensive awareness. Only Fang Chen knew that Ramon Sessions had such a good awareness mostly because he was given the ability of Andre Miller.
Suddenly, Fang Chen realized that something was wrong with the situation on the field.
Ramon Sessions never got up after being knocked to the ground by Nate Robinson.
"Oops, could it be" Fang Chen was shocked and quickly gestured to the referee to request a timeout.
The Cavaliers¡¯ half-time baseline referee discovered this situation earlier than Fang Chen, so he called a timeout earlier than Fang Chen.
The situation on the court became a bit chaotic. The Cavaliers players ran to Ramon Sessions, but they just lay next to him and asked something.
After the referee called for a timeout, Fang Chen ran straight to the place where Ramon Sessions fell to the ground.
He is more anxious than anyone else because Ramon Sessions is one of the players he values ??most at the moment. Although it is possible that Ramon Sessions will return to the bench during the future reconstruction process, but now, he is the controller of the team's offense and can be said to be the person Fang Chen trusts the most.
When Fang Chen ran to where Ramon Sessions was, Chris Janet also yelled at the Cavaliers team doctor.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Team doctor Richard Parker asked the people surrounding Ramon Sessions to go away, squatted down, and carefully inspected Ramon Sessions' injury.
Since Ramon Sessions fell to the ground, he has been covering his ankle, so many people, including Fang Chen, speculated that the ankle was injured.
