Live Bar, March 19-NBA regular season, Celtics 117-118 away defeat Jazz.
At the last moment of the game, Ge Wei attacked receive the ball and was blocked by Jazz center Kessler. The Celtics also lost the game.
After the game, Ge Wei talked about this round in an interview. He said: “Our original tactic was to give the ball to Tatum. Usually there was a big man to defend against the serve outside the boundary, but they didn’t send anyone to defend against the serve outside the boundary, that is, malcanin, so I matched him before receive the ball.
“As soon as I received the ball, people were in the paint area, or near the paint area. I shipped the ball and looked at who I could pass it. Brown fell on my left, and Hauser was also defended on my right. There are only three seconds left. Tatum is still in the back court and broghden is still outside the stadium.
“So I think I should at least take the shot first, so I fought Kessler for a while, pretended to take the shot, and then thought that I would at least hit the rebound, so that I could grab the offensive rebound again to make up the basket. But he defended well and finished cap. After that, there was no time and we didn’t pause.
“I could have done it in a better way, such as throwing a shot or directly passing the ball to Hauser, but the other side was well guarded and forced me to make another choice.”
