Chapter 333 They've grown old, and so have you!
[Closed Candy] Currently only works on McGrady and Iverson, and... the better the player's performance.
The time limit is for a single session.
There are only two of them, making them extremely precious.
Su Yan would save money wherever possible, and if it was truly necessary, he would naturally want to use it wisely and in the best possible environment.
Both players are in decent form right now, but their performances are fluctuating, and it doesn't seem like a true breakout.
That's when you get caught up in a dilemma.
However... after Su Yan saw the score, his inner turmoil and hesitation instantly dissipated.
After a 4-minute rotation.
The Knicks won by 5 points.
All 5 points were won by the bench, which is almost equivalent to McGrady helping the team win by 5 points.
Despite missing Stephen Curry and one of the "New York Twin Stars," the starting lineup did not lose points.
What does this mean? !
This shows that... even without major outbursts, Iverson and McGrady, with their occasional bursts of energy, contributed significantly to the team.
Although they haven't "returned to their peak" yet, they're probably close to "halfway to their peak".
Two of the "Big Four" shooting guards are in "halfway to their peak" form.
This already provides Su Yan with a lot of help, coupled with his enhanced firepower.
The Knicks are in the lead.
At halftime, the Knicks led by 7 points, and after three quarters, they had extended their lead to 10 points.
Celtics fans are in an uproar.
"WTF? Why are we even further behind without Stephen?! What's going on?!"
"Shit bro! Without Stephen, Allen and Tracy both exploded to varying degrees."
Although it's not a "return to the peak".
Even if they're both at their peak, even using only half their fighting strength, they shouldn't be underestimated.
"Why did it have to erupt at this particular time?"
"This is giving me a headache!"
"Su Yan's sudden increase in strength, his explosive ability to drive to the basket, and his unreasonable three-point shooting ability from the outside."
This is already quite difficult to deal with.
If they had two more "near-peak" "Big Four" shooting guards helping them, how could they possibly compete?!
"Annoying."
Why is Lady Luck always on the Knicks' side? Why is she always helping Su Yan?!
Go Celtics!
There's still one quarter left, and those old guys on the Knicks who could retire can't keep going on a scoring spree forever.
Grit your teeth and persevere.
Victory is within reach!
"We absolutely have to win tonight! We absolutely have to force a Game 7 in this series!!!"
The Celtics fans looked flustered and visibly panicked.
This applies not only to fans, but also to players.
Rest during the holiday.
Pierce, Garnett, Ray Allen, and others looked extremely grim, not just angry that Su Yan had played so well.
More importantly, Lady Luck has always been on the Knicks' side.
"Stephen from the last game, Allen and Tracy from this game, what incredible luck did these guys have in their past lives?!"
Rashid Wallace, the "Roaring God," exploded with rage.
Doug Rivers' expression was also extremely solemn.
It's true that Iverson and McGrady had some minor breakout performances tonight, but it wasn't anything particularly remarkable; their impact was primarily on the offensive end.
The key point is still this.
With Su Yan as the core player, it seems he alone can hold the Knicks back. If any player has a breakout performance, the advantage will immediately appear.
As a coach.
His analysis was more thorough, but I can't say it out loud, otherwise... the players will feel even more psychological pressure.
"Uh……"
Doug Rivers stroked his chin and said in a deep voice, "Guys, don't worry, don't be discouraged, and don't lose heart."
Allen and Tracy are getting old.
They've been ruined by injuries; they can't keep going like this forever.
There's still time! In the final quarter, let's give it our all and we can definitely close the gap!
This is genuine inspirational chicken soup for the soul.
"Oh!"
The Celtics players agreed, saying they hadn't given up and couldn't give up. Losing meant elimination, so they had to fight to the last breath before losing.
A few moments.
The final quarter is approaching.
McGrady started with a smooth pull-up jumper, and his performance was no different from his peak.
The only thing is...
"Bang!"
This time, we're forging iron.
His next layup attempt also missed, but fortunately, a teammate made the putback.
The score is in.
However... just as Doug Rivers thought, McGrady is getting old, and he can't keep having explosive performances forever.
The cycle lasts 3 minutes and 28 seconds.
The Celtics narrowed the gap to 7 points, closing the gap to 3.
"Beep!"
Coach D'Antoni called a timeout.
Both teams' starting lineups have returned.
Where's Iverson?!
Can this "half-peak" state continue?
No.
Neither is possible.
In fact... he's still in pretty good shape, but he's really old and has been ruined by injuries.
He doesn't have that much stamina or that good physical condition to support him in continuing to explode.
Nothing.
This was almost inevitable.
Especially in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, a do-or-die game, the Celtics couldn't just let Iverson play as he pleased.
Give him Curry-level playing time and the defensive intensity of the team's second-in-command.
Iverson is struggling now.
He gradually became mediocre, and once again, the Knicks' offensive burden fell on Su Yan alone.
Even with upgrades in all three abilities, it's still not quite there yet.
Unless I have a super big breakout game tonight, my chances of winning are steadily decreasing.
With five minutes remaining, the score difference was only three points.
With only 2 minutes left, Su Yan stood at the top of the right arc, watching Pierce, ready to cover Garnett below.
but.
The basketball was passed to Ray Allen in the left corner, who caught it and confidently unleashed a three-pointer.
Holding firm to his goal, he made the three-pointer.
"Shh!"
Cold-blooded hit.
The Celtics gradually closed the gap, which was at most 10 points.
"They've tied it!"
"Charge, Green Shirts!"
"Game 7! Game 7! Game 7!"
The deafening cheers from the home arena boosted the confidence of the "Big Five" of the Celtics!
The Celtics appear to have taken control of the game.
Offensive and defensive transition.
"tread!"
After Su Yan received the ball at the right edge of the arc, Pierce immediately closed in and even snorted, "See that? The score is tied!"
Allen and Tracy are getting old; they can't keep having explosive performances forever, and Lady Luck won't always be on your side.
Accept your fate.
Without Stephen's help, you are not strong enough on your own. I advise you to give up the struggle.
See you in Game 7!!!
"is it?"
Su Yan chuckled lightly, unconvinced: "I think Allen and Tracy have done a very good job."
Just like you said, I couldn't have won alone without Stephen's help.
With the help of Allen and Iverson, the team did not lose a point with only 2 minutes left in the game.
They have done enough.
Leave the rest to me!
Also, I want to remind you that Allen and Tracy are indeed getting old, but... you guys are getting old too!!!
