The break at halftime passed quickly and the starters of both teams returned to the pitch.

Ruan Erniu just walked near the technical desk and chatted with Dominic Wilkins on the second floor for a few words, but Kevin Garnett deliberately walked by and spewed behind Erniu's back: "Heavenly Empire, you are definitely more promising than playing basketball if you become a talk show actor." ”

Erniu reacted very quickly, and immediately turned around and sarcastically said: "But there are some guys who are ugly and have poor acting skills, let alone going to Hollywood, even in the NBA, they don't mix well."

Anyway, if I didn't have a ring in my hand, I would never be ashamed to provoke the two-time champion. ”

The brute bull finally touched KG's sadness, and after this stimulation, Garnett scolded Fxxx fiercely, but still bowed his head and walked to the side.

For a superstar, it is so embarrassing not to have a championship, and the reason why the young Ruan Erniu was able to reply to Garnett in front of the gong and drum in front of him was not because of the courage of blood, but the real hard honor in his hand.

The sideline hiccups came and went quickly, and the second half of the game officially began.

On the offensive end of the Celtics, Rondo held the ball in the frontcourt, and Garnett beckoned to Rondo for the ball as soon as he leaned on the lunar eclipse.

In the low post, on the right, Garnett opened his long arms, jumped lightly, and easily received a pass from Rondo.

Turning around and cutting in one step, the eclipse did not lose position, but KG immediately chose to drop back and make a jumper.

The shot point was too high, and the lunar eclipse couldn't be blocked, so he had to let Garnett lose his shooting crosshair as much as possible in physical confrontation.

"Brush!"

Even though his body was slightly out of balance, Garnett still hit this difficult iron-blooded jumper and yelled as he retreated, as if to say that labor and management are not convinced.

I have to admit that even though Garnett is almost 35 years old, as long as he finds his shooting touch, KG's backward shooting is still difficult to defend.

It is possible to train technology, but the upper limit of physical talent has long been determined at the moment when a person is still in a cellular state.

In the next few rounds, Garnett became quite active, and he singled the eclipse with the ball in succession, and hit several iron-blooded jumpers, and the Celtics also took the opportunity to catch up with the score gap.

Woodson was cautious, and seeing that KG's step-back jumper felt surprisingly good, he immediately asked for a short timeout to interrupt his touch.

Erniu obviously didn't directly oppose Garnett, but when he got off the field, he was attacked by KG's mouth cannon again: "Dog XX's Celestial Empire, aren't you the defending champion of XX?

Erniu didn't react yet, and the lunar eclipse on the side almost rushed up and fought with Garnett, but fortunately he was pulled by Erniu, and then Er Niu also rushed over, and the two teamed up to pull the angry lunar eclipse back to the bench.

Woodson replaced the eclipse and then Zaza Pachuria, who had a clash with Garnett in the 07-08 season.

Standard substitution tactics, Pachulia is currently just an average of 3+3 inside bench per game in the regular season for the Hawks.

The reason for using him is that his strength is indeed above the lunar eclipse, and it is quite reliable to use it as a meat shield against Garnett, who is declining in speed.

Of course, if Pachulia can play at a high level and take care of Garnett with small gestures, Woodson may apply for a special grant with Billy Knight to cover some of the extra expenses.

Filthy?

Larry Brown, Popovich and others secretly laughed and said that some people were too-young, too-simple, sometimes-native.

At the end of the timeout, on the offensive end of the Hawks, Ruan Erniu and Pachulia crossed and opened their hands to ask for the ball in the horn position, and at the moment the person defending him behind him has become Garnett.

Embarrassment Sen hit the ground and passed, and Ruan Erniu singled KG with his back.

"Defense, do you have it?"

Ruan Erniu jerked back, and Garnett suddenly took a big step back.

Erniu turned into a basket with his back, a shooting feint, and tricked Garnett into flying, Erniu did not hesitate, and then jumped up and forced a confrontation, and threw the basketball in his hand with one hand.

"Toot!"

The whistle blows first!

"Brush!"

The 16-foot throw also flew into the basket accurately.

2+1！

Ruan Erniu tilted his head and glanced at Garnett, and said sarcastically: "Well, the defense is probably there, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to play three points." ”

Erniu walked to the free throw line, adjusted his breathing slightly, and then hit a free throw.

With Ruan Erniu's continuous explosive performance, the Hawks once again extended their lead, Garnett's scoring explosiveness has never been on the same level as Erniu, and a player who has not averaged more than 25+ points per game in a career season can be compared with Ruan Erniu, who is a two-time scoring champion, in terms of scoring ability.

If the first half of the third quarter was a mutual provocation between Garnett and Ruan Erniu, then the second half of the third quarter became a performance of Embarrassment and Ray Allen.

Aaron hit a three-pointer here, and Aaron on that side will definitely return the favor.

Over there, Ray Allen scored under the basket and threw it to score, and here Ray Allen actually held the ball directly under the basket to complete the dunk in the counterattack.

On the surface, Junzijian's style of play seems to be a little more violent, but in fact, after half a quarter of the game, it was Embarrassment who scored more efficiently.

Ray Allen's physical fitness is indeed often underestimated, but Embarrassment's projection ability is often overlooked, since becoming the second leader of the Hawks, after objectively being attracted by Erniu's defensive attention, Embarrassment's average points per game have dropped significantly, but the scoring efficiency and key shot percentage have reached the peak of his career.

On the field alone, the Celtics don't seem to lose to the Hawks, but in reality, the Hawks' offensive and defensive transitions, and the scoring efficiency of the team's giant players far exceed those of the Bostonians.

The two of them scored double-doubles in a single quarter, leading the Hawks to a wave of 24:36 in the third quarter, leading the opponent by 12 points in just one quarter.

At 78:97, by the end of the third quarter of G1, the Hawks had extended their lead to 19 points, and although it could not be said that the game was dragged into garbage time early, in fact, they had firmly grasped the initiative of the game.

The final quarter of the game began quickly, and Pierce and Garnett, who were unwilling to lose, returned to the court with little rest, but their scoring efficiency in the final quarter was extremely inefficient.

Even a number of Hawks benches did not let the Green Kai main force take advantage, Pierce shot 1 of 7 in the final quarter, and Garnett only shot 1 of 5 in the final quarter, it can be said that in the last quarter, the two giants of Green Kai successfully went undercover.

Ray Allen, who had an excellent hand in the third quarter, could only shake his head helplessly, he didn't even have a chance to play at the last moment to turn the tide.

Ruan Erniu and Woe Sen only played a total of four minutes in the final quarter, and with Thibodeau replacing the main players of Green Kai in the second half of the final quarter, Woodson's side also replaced the Hawks' starters.

93:114, the two teams that were once fiercely competitive in the first half, after the third quarter that the Hawks could not provoke, and then experienced a desperate fourth quarter, the balance of victory has changed dramatically in a short period of time.

Ruan Erniu, who scored 45 points, 26 rebounds, and 8 assists in this game, has naturally become the focus of attention from various media.

In particular, his continuous trash talk with Garnett tonight has become the most concerned thing for the media.

A reporter asked, "Kraft, what did you talk about with Garnett?"

"We just exchanged ideas about the game, it's not a big deal?" Erniu replied with a smile.

Another good reporter asked: "Garnett has always said that what you have achieved is not a big deal, no, what do you think about that?"

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said: "I have entered the third season of the league, and it doesn't have any effect to say this kind of thing to me, KG is a person who is obsessed with winning, that's all, whether he really said it or not, it doesn't have any effect on me." Or should you ask him now, what does it feel like to be beaten by the Hawks in the playoffs again?"

In the post-game press conference, Tom Thibodeau began by speaking on behalf of Green Kai: "We did a good job defending in the second quarter and a poor job the rest of the time. It's not a big deal to lose first, we'll take stock and try to win G2 away from home. ”

Thibodeau has been an NBA assistant coach for many years, this is a basketball maniac who has never even married, he is 100% committed to his work, and there are many successful cases during his time as an assistant coach.

Replacing Rivers as the head coach of Green Kai is both pressure and opportunity for Thibodeau, and the opportunity is naturally to coach the Celtics with the Big Three just after taking office, and the pressure, Green Kai's opponent has shown everything.

It's not enough to just pay lip service to not admitting defeat, and for the Celtics, who have gathered the Big Three, not winning the championship means defeat. Whether Thibodeau can secure the position of head coach of the Green Kai depends on how far the Celtics can go in the future.

Nguyen Er Niu and Woodson also attended the press conference afterwards.

Woodson summarized the G1 game a little, probably talking about the gains and losses of the Eagles, and the questions about Erniu were the most in the conference.

"Are you going to sweep the Celts?"

"I don't know, but we're going to try to win game by game. ”

"Will you go to defend Garnett when you get off the court? Judging from the individual defensive efficiency of the whole Hawks, you are the most successful in defending KG!"

"No, that's J-Smoove's job, I think he can do it, Garnett only scored 18 points on 9-of-20 shooting tonight, and most of the time J-Smoove was in charge of the main defense, so we didn't have to change our defensive strategy. ”

"The results of the D-POY selection will be announced soon, you said at the beginning of the season that you want to win MVP+D-POY+FMVP in the new season, do you think there are other people in the league who will pose a threat to you in D-POY?"

Ruan Erniu smiled and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The female reporter who asked the question was obviously a novice, and she blushed and said, "Okay...... Maybe...... That's you!"

After saying that, the audience laughed.

Erniu nodded and smiled: "Thank you!

That's what Bull thinks, and the league doesn't seem to continue to be mysterious about it, and just a day after G1, the D-POY for the 09-10 season was announced.

Ruan Erniu, who averaged 22.3 rebounds, 3.2 blocks and 2.2 steals per game in the regular season, won the D-POY trophy again, and the Celestial Dynasty made history because he became the first player in NBA history to make D-POY three times in a row.

In the history of the NBA, since the 82-83 season, after the establishment of the D-POY award, there have been many two-time D-POY players, such as the well-known Dennis Rodman, Alonzo Mourning, Deacon Bey Mutombo, Ben Wallace, etc., but even Ben Wallace, who has won the best defensive player four times, has only two consecutive two times, and has never had a three-time D-POY performance.

Erniu won the award, the most injured is probably Dwight Howard, from the data point of view, the Sparks' defensive data are above one person, below the rest, but the one above him, both personal data and team records are too terrifying, so that the Sparks have no possibility of comparison.

Before Ruan Erniu entered the league, Spark was the future No. 1 center in the league, but since Manniu joined the league, the honor of the so-called No. 1 center has nothing to do with Spark.

And with the issuance of this D-POY, the original playful attitude of the alliance's top management has finally become clear, and they are now going to support Ruan Erniu.

What invisible nationality and race issues, in the face of real interests, all this can be appropriately compromised, the Atlanta Hawks have broken the league's best record for two consecutive seasons, and the core of the team is so obvious, the league must tilt resources like Ruan Erniu even for the sake of ratings.

This is the charm of competitive sports, as long as you actually put on a convincing performance on the field, no one can shake your place in history, even if there are countless criticisms and accusations.

In order to solemnly announce the birth of the first three-time D-POY in NBA history, the league and the Hawks public relations department also held a separate press conference for Erniu.

At the meeting, Ruan Er Niu's three D-POY trophies were lined up at one time, and Er Niu, as the owner of the three trophies, leaned over to complete a historic group photo.

The two bulls were smug on the side, but the Eagles were in trouble in the G2 battle the next day.

The Celtics, who lost one game first, did not give up on themselves, and in the first quarter of the game, the Green Army blossomed more and caught the defending champion off guard.

In particular, there was one man who showed very good form tonight, and that was Rashid Wallace on the Green bench.

In the first quarter, he made two shots, including one of three shots, although he only scored 5 points and 1 board in the bench time. But his two shots were either against the defender's difficult shots or simply at the buzzer.

But at the moment, Woodson didn't pay attention to the aging former All-Star big forward.

The Hawks had a mediocre first quarter, with a number of key players on the team, including Erniu and Embarrassing, playing quite tangled on the offensive end and not finding the smooth offensive rhythm in G1.

At 26:22, the Green Army led by four points in the first quarter.

The second quarter started quickly, and Jamal Crawford did a better job than G1, and Tony Allen was certainly able to limit the efficiency of the opposing players, but it was not effective against a convulsive master like the 6.

However, the Atlanta Hawks, who were gradually recovering, still failed to successfully reverse their opponents in this quarter, for the simple reason that someone in the Celtics team also stepped up.

Ray Allen's sudden outburst did not exceed the expectations of the Hawks, the performance of the Big Three was originally the meaning of the question, like G1, the final quarter of the game, the two giants lost their state at the same time, in fact, it was also full of accidents.

But the sudden rise of another person disrupted the overall defense of the Hawks, he was Rashid Wallace, roaring that Tianzun was silent in this quarter, shooting 3 of 3, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 8 points and 1 rebound in a single quarter.

And, one more buzzer-beating three-point shot.

Anyone who knows a little bit about basketball knows how much impact an opponent can have on defensive morale when a game is scored in succession.

In the first half, he scored 13 points and 2 rebounds on 5-of-5 shooting from the field with a 100% shooting rate, and this is the crazy performance of Rasheed Wallace, who is said to be too old to play, in the G2 half.

Wallace, who joined the Green Army on a free basis this season, declined significantly in the regular season, averaging only 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 0.3 assists per game.

In the past few playoff games, Rashid's performance has also been tepid, and Tianzun is no longer roaring, what is the threat?

But the Hawks subconsciously didn't mention that they were finally vigilant against this guy, but the veteran taught the Hawks a lesson with his actual performance.

At 26:26, the performance of the Hawks in the second quarter of the game was not bad, and the performance of Crawford, Embarrassment and Ruan Erniu was not too problematic, but compared with the X factor of Green Kai's sudden rise, the Hawks gradually had doubts about the game.

In the crucial third quarter, Ray Allen and Garnett ushered in an explosion at the same time, and the two teamed up to score 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist in this quarter, leading the Green Army to play a wave of 14:1, while expanding the score advantage in one fell swoop, it also gave the invincible Atlanta a hard blow.

Ruan Erniu and Embarrassing Sen seem to have become Garnett and Pierce in the last quarter of G1, and the two failed to shoot many times in the first quarter, if it weren't for Salmons hitting two three-pointers under pressure, maybe the game would have gone into garbage time early.

At 31:16, the situation was already very unfavorable for the Eagles.

At 83:64, the Hawks played the first three quarters of the ugliest playoffs of the 09-10 season, and they fell behind by 19 points again, but this time the catch-up side became the Atlanta Hawks playing at home.

The Atlanta Hawks, unwilling to lose, played an extremely wonderful comeback wave in the final quarter.

Ruan Erniu, who had just won three consecutive D-POYs, swept away the haze, suddenly exploded in the final quarter, and chased three points in succession, and with 10 seconds left in the game, 104:104, the Hawks tied the score!

On the crucial final shot, Garnett received the ball on the flank in the final four seconds and stepped back to shoot.

"Bang!"

The basketball smashed into the basket and didn't go in, just as the Hawks were ready to grab the rebound for overtime.

A large hand burst out of the crowd......

Rondo!

Rajan Rondo!

As a short point guard, he appeared under the basket and shot the basketball to the perimeter before the two bulls and the eclipse.

Rashid Wallace catches the basketball at 15 feet on the left!

1 second, no time!

Wallace raised his hand and shot.

The red indicator light lit up first!

But the shot works!

"Brush!"
