At 3 minutes and 58 seconds, the Knicks have the ball.

Stockton was dribbling the ball, and he, who always scolded Fang Qiu calmly, was rarely nervous.

They really want to win this game, for the coach, for Oakley, for themselves, and for an inexplicable exciting force.

All Antoine Kyle can do when he comes on the court is attack, which is why Louis replaced him.

So Stockton didn't hesitate, looked at him and passed the ball.

Kyle is good at post-up play and can shoot mid-range shots from any position.

When the ball came to him, he was facing Bill Walton.

If the Knicks continue to play a full-court press, K.C. Jones may move Bird to power forward because Walton's speed can't keep up with the Knicks' intensity in the third quarter.

Kyle got the ball, another player that Louie had plucked from the depths of his home team's bench, and he was full of gratitude to the latter.

Compared with the Pistons, the Knicks are not a strong team, but here, they can realize their value.

Kyle shook his shoulders and turned to the left for a jump shot.

Everyone looked at the ball, wow!

3 minutes and 41 seconds, 112 to 106

"Come on, come on, my boys!"

Louis muttered.

"Well done, guarding them!"

A.C. Green was heartbroken and stood up emotionally and shouted loudly.

"Watch that white man!" Ball shouted, pointing at Bird.

At this time, Tony Campbell was defending. He was not Bird's opponent. As the Knicks' scoring leader, he was the Celtics' key target.

In fact, he knew his own weight, and he was the team's leading scorer by himself, but the team most complained that he played too many singles, and there was no other explanation.

At this moment, his teammates only need him to defend Bird from one shot, which is so difficult and unattainable.

When Bird jumped up, he reached forward and hit Larry Legend's arm hard.

Snapped!

This shot was so powerful that Bird couldn't throw the ball.

"Beep!"

"You fucking ￥%...#%..." Bird stepped forward angrily and pushed him away.

Campbell took a few steps back and raised his hands expressionlessly.

This was his sixth personal foul. Tonight, he scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

"Coach, I'm ready to rest." Alex Stevens put down his towel and walked to Louis to apply for playing.

Louis nodded and said: "Okay, replace Tony. From now on, you will guard Larry Bird!"

With 3 minutes and 26 seconds left in the game, Bird went to the free throw line.

"You think you can stump me like this?" Bird arrogantly used his left hand to shoot free throws.

The challenge posed by the Knicks tonight was like the Lakers' last year's Finals, which pushed the Celtics into a desperate situation.

It stands to reason that in a regular season game, if you lose, you lose, there is no need to work hard.

But the antagonism between the two sides, the feeling of hatred towards each other, was accumulated after three quarters of the game.

The Knicks want to win no matter what, and the Celtics don't want to lose no matter what.

Bird decided to dominate the game in superstar fashion.

Two left-handed free throws were made, unexpectedly.

108 to 112

Stockton raised his hand, indicating the most reliable airside strategy.

However, the Celtics already know this tactic very well, and they will not let any Knicks player cut inside as they wish.

The Celtics' defense was aggressive.

The Knicks' airside tactics failed and the ball came to Ewing's hands.

He stood outside the three-point line and couldn't handle it, so he saw Kyle starting to get the ball from the middle elbow area.

In the last few seconds, Ewing passed the ball.

Kyle swung one shot to the left, one shot to the right, and the third move was to turn to the left and feint. It was this move that shook the league's No. 1 insider.

His tentative steps followed the time difference and pushed Sampson behind him, but there was still a difficulty in front of him, and that was Wharton.

At the end, Kyle's fadeaway jumper hit the board, causing his teammates to scream crazily.

114 to 108

3 minutes and 02 seconds

In a rage, Bird took the ball and made a three-pointer from the top of the arc. It seemed to be solid and hard, but the arc was a bit awkward and he missed the hit.

This suddenly scared the hearts of many Knicks players.

However, Sampson beat Ewing during the blocking process and grabbed the offensive rebound.

He's going to turn left!

Louis, who watched Sampson grow up since he entered the league, judged Sampson's offense. What about Ewing? Did he judge it?

The situation was so fast that Louis couldn't make a sound to remind him, and Sampson turned left and hooked, blocking the gap between Ewing and Sampson. It was because they seized and wasted the limited time.

Thankfully, Ewing still has time.

If he were at the beginning of the season, he would not be able to seize this moment.

Sampson's hook was originally foolproof, but Ewing had to do three things to block Sampson's hook. He stayed close to his body, applied pressure to prevent him from fully rising, and then jumped with all his strength before he was able to block Sampson's hook.

hand.

He did everything, and Sampson's hook was blocked by him.

The ball was about to fly to the outside world, and the Celtics still had a little time, but Stevens flew to save the ball and forcibly snatched the ball back.

2 minutes and 40 seconds

The Knicks used another 18 seconds to run tactics. Ewing's catch and dunk after an air cut was also blocked by Sampson.

2 minutes and 22 seconds

The more this happens, the crazier it gets. What Ewing loses on the offensive end, he will find ways to make up for on the defensive end.

He doesn't look energetic like he played a high-intensity game for 30 minutes.

Like a wild beast, he ran back and forth and attacked in all directions, frustrating the Celtics' plan to attack inside.

They have to move the ball outward.

When Bird got the ball, he was flanked by three people.

He passed the ball to John Long, and Ewing's rotation was in place.

Then, in the bottom corner, Thomas received the pass.

There was no time, he had to take action.

He had never practiced a three-pointer from the corner, but he made a key three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

"At such a moment, Isiah Thomas showed his responsibility and hit his first corner three-pointer of the season!"

111 to 114

1 minute 59 seconds

The Knicks gave the Celtics no chance to relax.

20 seconds after Thomas miraculously hit a three-pointer from the corner, Dale Ellis, with the trust of the whole team, ran a flawless Exchange Ricky tactic, and the opportunity came from outside the left-wing three-point line.

The Celtics' defense was like a desperado. His ball was released half a second ago, but interference came half a second later.

"Uh-huh!!"

Everyone's emotions were aroused. The Garden crowd booed every second of the Knicks possession and screamed for every Celtic goal.

117 to 111

1 minute 39 seconds

You could say that time is on the Knicks' side.

When Bird ran from the backcourt to the frontcourt, he suddenly turned around and shouted to Louis: "I will kill you myself!"

"Come on, Larry!" Louie shouted with a smile, "You can come on!"
