It was Boston Celtics ball again. Tony Allen received the inbound and quickly dribbled across half court.
Just after crossing midcourt, before Tony Allen could call out the play, Marc Gasol burst out of the paint like an agile beast and instantly planted himself in front of Tony Parker, forming an incredibly solid wall.
At the same time, Goodwin and Jimmy Butler sprinted toward the corners like arrows loosed from a bow. Their runs seemed to tear the entire court apart, creating ample space for the coming attack.
With a dull bang, Marc Gasol's hulking, hill-like body firmly blocked Tony Parker's path.
Faced with such a massive obstacle, Tony Parker immediately found it difficult to move.
Tony Allen seized the chance to quickly shake off Tony Parker's entanglement and charged toward the basket like lightning.
The next second, Tim Duncan's tall, imposing figure followed close behind like a ghost.
It had to be said that although Tim Duncan was no longer young, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Many younger interior players simply could not compare to him when it came to help defense.
Of course, that was also thanks to Tim Duncan's vast game experience and his sharp reading and judgment of the situation on the court.
Seeing Tim Duncan rotate over in time, Tony Allen did not panic. With a light flick of his wrist, the ball seemed to come alive, tracing a beautiful arc as he delivered an astonishing look-back pass straight into the hands of Marc Gasol, who had just completed the pick-and-roll and retreated beyond the three-point line.
Marc Gasol did not hesitate after catching the ball. He explosively pushed off with both legs, soaring into the air like a rocket. After hanging briefly in the air, he calmly released the shot.
