The score difference in an instant returned to 9 points.

Zhou Mubai assisted, intercepted, and chased three-pointers, which was so powerful that it was breathtaking.

The fans of Madison Garden Plaza changed from forced smiles to carnival - we have Zhou Mubai!

"Michael Jordan in the finals and Zhou Mubai in the third quarter will make his opponents desperate.

The Celtics held the Knicks' pace with defense in the first half, but it was completely different after entering the third quarter!”

Yang Yi exclaimed.

Coach Rivers' timeout did not improve the situation and both sides returned to the court.

Coach Rivers looked at Zhou Mubai running on the court deeply. Zhou Mubai on the court was so calm that he was a little cold-blooded.

Rondo had a lot of small movements, his mouth kept turning around. Everyone could see that Rondo was spraying trash words, trying to affect Zhou Mubai's emotions.

But Zhou Mubai was serious about running, receiving the ball, passing the ball, hitting the ball, and his face was completely abnormal.

Rivers felt a little chilled in his heart - this young man was so scary.

The situation has been controlled by the Knicks, and the score difference of 15 points has been smoothed out in 8 minutes.

The morale of the Knicks has risen sharply, and the balance of victory has turned to the Knicks.

Coach Rivers' eyes had changed from confusion to fear. After returning from the second half, Zhou Mubai released his unparalleled offensive ability.

He didn't even make a three-pointer, and just caught the ball from high and low posts and played against Rondo. Whether it was high or low posts, Rondo couldn't defend himself.

Zhou Mubai's back was about to slip away, and the Celtics couldn't find a good opportunity to attack him.

——Zhou Mubai’s pass is too sharp!

–——Zhou Mubai cuts the Celtics’ defense one by one!

Rondo's pride has turned into fear. The pressure Zhou Mubai put on him is even more terrifying than when he was replaced by Kobe Bryant.

When defending Kobe, he knew that his teammates would help him attack, but when defending Zhou Mubai, he knew that his teammates would not dare to come over unless they had the chance to attack.

Zhou Mubai's shot is really amazing. Once the player is released, Zhou Mubai will always find someone to send the ball over.

Rondo used up all his small movements, and there was no need to say more about these regular small movements, such as squeezing and pulling, even despicable movements such as scratching and twisting the top.

But Zhou Mubai is still as calm as water.

Rondo didn't know if he was afraid of Zhou Mubai's goal or was even more afraid of his coldness. Maybe both were there.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks overtook 8 points, and the Knicks scored 42 points in this quarter!

In this quarter, Zhou Mubai scored 22 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, which was so powerful that it was desperate!

The eight-point score difference is certainly not too much in a whole quarter.

Coach Rivers grabbed the players and quickly used the time between the quarters to assign tasks to the players.

"Defense! We have to defend! We have to play out the first half defense and drag them into our rhythm.

Rajon, if you defend Zhou Mubai, then you have to work harder. Are you a genius? You can do it completely!"

Doug Rivers plays his inspiring verbal words.

Rondo didn't even lift his head? He looked very depressed.

Doug Rivers was not angry, and he sighed slightly in his heart. He used to be an outstanding player.

In 1983, he was selected by the Atlanta Hawks in the second round? He played for four NBA teams, including the Hawks, Clippers, Celtics and Spurs, and was selected into the NBA All-Star lineup in 1988.

Is it because of a player's experience? So he knows how uncomfortable it is to face a superstar like Zhou Mubai.

But Rondo cannot collapse. Once Rondo collapses, the Celtics will fall into a situation where no one is available.

Rondo's role in the Celtics is irreplaceable.

Even with his advice? The role of the Celtics' multiple core players was fully played, but Rondo was still the core of the offensive.

Rondo may have a problem with one kind of thing, not going far, having a tough temper? Don’t respect people very much? I think it’s self-righteous, but everyone in the Celtics knows that once Rondo is abnormal, the entire Celtics’ offense will be in trouble!

Rondo can't collapse!

Coach Rivers shouted: "RaJan! Where is your fighting spirit! Do you want that dog Zhou Mubai to be raised by his mother forever riding on your head?"

Rondo raised his head, his eyes were red. Like an angry bull, he stared at Coach Rivers fiercely? Coach Rivers didn't want to let him go:

"Rajoon, to become a great player? One opponent after another must be defeated!

No matter how powerful this opponent is, how many times have you defeated? If you want to achieve greatness, you must defeat them one by one!

Think back? You have fought against all the star point guards in the league, Nash, Paul, Kidd, Deron and so on!

You have times when you lose, but you are always able to stand up and beat them, which is why you are so powerful!

Rajon, stand up, we need you!"

Rondo's eyes gradually changed.

...When I first met Coach Bibi, Coach Bibi said to him: "Rajon, you will enter the NBA."

So in the 11th grade, he averaged 27.6 points, 10.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, and that year he became the State and Region Player of the Year.

...In his first season in the NBA, he was still a substitute for Terfer, but he used his own efforts to squeeze Terfer out and became the team's starting point guard.

...In the second season, he helped the team defeat the Los Angeles Lakers. In the second game of the finals, he got 16 assists. Even when facing Kobe, he still grimaced and was not afraid.

...The first triple-double later, with the longest winning streak in team history... He became the top ten point guard in the league, and he was confident that he would not be crushed when facing any point guard... Except - Zhou Mubai!

Since Zhou Mubai appeared in the NBA, he would be crushed every time he met Zhou Mubai!

"I'm really unwilling to give up!" Rondo thought.

But when Rondo saw the young man sitting opposite him who was as calm as a mountain, he couldn't help but tremble.

Coach Rivers turned his head and motivated other players. Rondo was not the only one who was frustrated, and even Garnett, who had always been strong, looked a little depressed.

This made Rivers a little scared. Garnett has always been passionate and is the most passionate person of the Celtics.

If even he feels frustrated, it means that the team's morale has fallen to a terrible level.

But Garnett's frustration just flashed through, and the role of the veteran is to stabilize the morale of the army.

The Celtics have so many veterans, which is their shortcomings and their biggest advantage.

It is difficult for them to be defeated in their will!

Garnett's powerful clapping of his hands attracted everyone's attention and began to loudly encourage morale.

The boss was not panicked, so the younger brothers naturally made up their minds.

With the Knicks leading the score, the atmosphere of home fans naturally became warmer.

The game was ups and downs and extremely exciting. At the beginning, the Celtics controlled the rhythm, and the Knicks exposed the shortcomings of insufficient offensive ability.

When the Knicks recovered, they took the advantage back again.

The gap between the two sides is not big in the fourth quarter, and the suspense still exists. The decisive battle begins in the fourth quarter!

The fourth section begins.

Coach Cole originally wanted to put Gezibi on the bench, he was the team's pillar of the sky. He would play in the final battle, and now Iguodala and Fry should be led by the team on the court.

But Zhou Mubai did not agree, and it is now in the semi-finals.

There is no need for him to preserve his physical strength anymore. He has no hidden danger of physical strength, so why pretend?

Of course I went up and did it!

As the backward side, Coach Rivers sent all the starters to the court, hoping to tie the score.

The Celtics fought desperately, and they knew that the longer the time delayed, the more crisis their situation would become.

Zhou Mubai came up at this time, and coach Doug Rivers's heart was sinking.

Zhou Mubai is not present and cannot get close to the score. Now that Zhou Mubai is back, the Celtics are in a bad situation!

Zhou Mubai played a role as soon as he came back. He first made a three-pointer in the bottom corner without the ball, and then broke through to attract a slim attack to Iguodala pass a three-point assist. As soon as he got 6 points, the Celtics stopped, and the score difference was 14 points!

Rivers quickly called for a pause, but when he came back, Zhou Mubai could no longer hold on!

Zhou Mubai broke through, passed, shot, and chased three-pointers!

By 5 minutes, the situation has reached an extremely difficult level for the Celtics!

Coach Rivers didn't have much to adjust, so he could only let the disciples let the attack go.

If you don't take a try, the Celtics will be dead!

The Celtics made a move, but they hit a few, but the Knicks' fast break was even more fierce, and they made a 12:6 wave, widening the gap to 20 points!

Coach Rivers took advantage of the opportunity to kill the ball to replace the starter, which was considered a surrender.

The game ended, with the score between the two sides 91:115, and the Knicks won 24 points at home!

Jeff Van Gundy sighed: "The Knicks are really strong. Even if the rotation lineup always loses points, they can win as long as Zhou Mubai comes back. I think this game is the beginning. Zhou Mubai will play for 48 minutes every game as before.

With Zhou Mubai here, even though they face the Bostonians who are famous for their defense, they still scored 115 points. Such powerful offensive ability is unique in the league!”
