At 51:59, the first half ended, and the Hawks ended the first half with an eight-point advantage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ruan Erniu scored 9 points in the half, 16 boards of peculiar data, to be honest, he is now a standard blue-collar worker on the court, doing dirty work.

But at least half of the credit for the Hawks' half-time lead goes to Erniu's head, and without his frontcourt rebounds, the Hawks would never have had so many second-time offensive opportunities. And the lead of the score is even more impossible.

In the Eagles' locker room, players are singing praises around Van Exel.

The 38-year-old veteran contributed 11 points and three assists in his limited playing time, laying the foundation for the Hawks' lead.

As it turned out, Woodson was right.

"There's a madman named Nick who pushes Javi and roars and roars!"

"There's a maniac named Nick who always thinks the free-throw line is too close, and he roars!"

"There's a madman named Nick, he doesn't care where the three-point line is, oh roar roar!"

……

When the Eagles finished singing, Mike Woodson stepped up and cleaned up the situation, and he smiled and said, "Don't rejoice too soon, we haven't won the opponent yet, so please gentlemen calm down, it's not time to revel." ”

Then, Woodson said to Ruan Erniu, "Kraft, are you tired?"

Erniu immediately stood up and said, "Mike, I'm full of strength now. ”

Woodson nodded, "Very well, even if you tell me I'm tired, I'm not going to give you a minute of rest in the third quarter because the team needs your rebounds." ”

With such a rebounding master on the court, the Hawks have a great grasp of the advantage, whether it is playing positional battles or small-ball tactics.

Putting Nguyen Er Niu in the center forward position would have been a reluctant move by Mike Woodson at the beginning of the season.

But now, it's Woodson's trick to turn magic into legend.

Once the Eagles win the championship, Woodson will inevitably be propelled to the position of legendary coach, after all, the conservative "wooden man" has made a miracle like an iron tree blooming.

The so-called small-ball tactics of the Eagles' raids, in the final analysis, are derived from the moment Ruan Erniu was pushed to the center position.

It is precisely because of the repeated run-in of the Hawks over the past season that the Hawks ushered in an unforeseen outbreak in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Returning to the Hawks' commentary booth, Dominique Wilkins and Bob Rasborne have already begun to discuss their Finals opponents, and they agree that the Lakers will be the Western Conference champions who advance.

Bob Rasborne said: "I think we upset the league's arrangement. Most people are looking forward to a classic yellow-green fight. ”

Dominic Wilkins laughed: "But this is already the story of the last century. It's the 21st century, and I think fans would still prefer to see the rise of new powers. Don't forget the league slogan for the playoffs. ”

Rasben asked, "That's right, where-amazing-happens?

The second half began.

The Hawks and Celtics were locked in a stalemate again at the start of the third quarter, with Garnett, who was back with four fouls, repeatedly used his trademark jump shot to keep the Celtics alive.

Ruan Erniu still continued to turn over the river and the sea on the inner line, making the Celtics uneasy.

This situation lasted until the first official timeout of the third quarter, and the score never managed to shrink to less than five points.

And the Celtics are about to welcome the Hawks' small-ball lineup - the Hawks raider.

This time, Ruan Erniu did not have 5 fouls on him, on the contrary, KG had 4 fouls and a T on his back, and he could be substituted or simply ejected at any time.

On the offensive end of the Hawks, Bibi held the ball outside, Ruan Erniu asked for the ball in the low post, and Bibi passed it at the first time.

This time, without waiting for Garnett to speak, Ruan Erniu took the initiative to spray: "You have already committed four crimes, if you don't want to end up, just stand there obediently for me!"

Immediately afterwards, after an inside feint, Erniu took a step past Garnett from the outside, followed by a backhand back dunk, and after a gorgeous take-off, he scored 2 points.

"Can't even say a word of Fxxx, old guy, are you afraid?" Ruan Erniu continued to strike.

If Garnett is being eaten a T at this time, then G4 really has no suspense at all.

Erniu underestimated Garnett, who is also a Taurus, and it turns out that this guy's so-called toughness or irritability is, to a large extent, a disguise.

Garnett is certainly not soft, but he is by no means a tough guy in the traditional sense either. There was also intrigue and calculation in his chest, and this time, KG endured it, and he didn't say a word of trash back.

It's just that on the offensive end, after KG grabbed a frontcourt rebound, he passed back to Pierce on the outside, and Truth hit a crucial three-pointer.

I have to admit that as the game progresses, the Celtics have become more and more effective against the Hawks raiding formation. There is no set of tactics in this world that can dominate the world.

Garnett, Posey, Pierce, Ray Allen, and Tony Allen's offensive and defensive projection lineup limited the Hawks' madness to a certain extent.

But in this game, the Celtics still failed to stalemate with the Hawks to the end.

Ruan Erniu held the ball high and made a triple threat stance, then went straight inside and made a weighty physical contact with Garnett in the air, and Crawford's whistle sounded.

Erniu threw the ball out of the way, "Bang!" The ball smashed on the basket and didn't go in!

But it didn't matter, because it wasn't the point to score or not, and Garnett paid for his fifth foul.

Now is the time to test Doug Rivers, replacing Garnett means that the visitors are likely to be completely defeated, and if Garnett is not replaced, if he receives a sixth foul early and is whistled off, it will be the same waiting for death.

He didn't replace Garnett with a gamble, and it was up to Joseph Joey Crawford to have the guts to blow KG off.

River was right, and after that, Garnett did have two obvious fouls, and Crawford was stunned.

At the end of the third quarter, 77-87, the Hawks led by 10 points, and the Celtics still had a theoretical chance to win.

In the fifth minute of the final quarter, two minutes after Garnett was replaced, Crawford finally blew the whistle.

Kevin Garnett was ejected, KG didn't complain, drooped his head back to the locker room, and the result of the game was already clearly visible.

Ruan Erniu also did not play the whole game, and after a wave of 12:2, he was replaced by Woodson and went to rest.

In this game, Ruan Erniu's data was finally fixed at 19 points, 25 boards, 5 assists, including 10 of 16 free throws, and even 70% of the free throw shooting rate was not reached.

This is also the first time in Erniu's career that he has not scored 20,

However, this will not affect his 20+ consecutive scoring streak in the regular season, because the NBA counts the regular season and the playoffs separately.

At 98:120, the Hawks finally won on their second home court, they won G4, and they will take the match point to Boston for the G5 battle.
