IN THE CENTER OF THE PHILIPS ARENA, EVEN AT HALFTIME, THE FANS IN THE STADIUM KEPT SHOUTING: "BEAT-BOSTON!"

The Devils' home court is not developed in a day, and the glorious record in the past three seasons has made the Atlanta people accustomed to the concept of winning for granted, so even if the Green Army objectively caused problems for the Hawks, Atlantans still feel quite confident in their home team.

Since '96, with the help of the Olympic Games, the city of Atlanta has continued to introduce immigrants, and interestingly, in recent years, the largest number of immigrants is Asian, according to the current situation, once in 2013, the number of Asian Atlanta citizens will reach 1/4 of the city's population.

Although he is now a symbol of Atlanta, he is not a god and cannot manipulate the movement of people, but in fact, he also contributes to the team's attraction of Asian fans.

It's not over, don't forget, Erniu once spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy real estate in the city's North District, and with the influx of a large number of Asian people, that innate enthusiasm for real estate still completely ignited the real estate market in Atlanta.

The valuation of real estate under Ruan Erniu's name has also risen directly from the lowest point at the end of 08, and in 10 years, the market price of real estate in Atlanta has become the first batch of real estate in Quanmi to get rid of the shadow of the financial crisis.

Erniu now has a lot of industries, of course, he does not rely on real estate to live, but to be able to get several times the return on investment so quickly, it is still a thing to be proud of, as a number of superstars in the NBA with investment vision, Erniu has become a well-known existence in the IT industry and the real estate industry.

At present, the latter is even more famous than the former.

However, at this time, of course, Erniu didn't have time to think about his happy life as a landowner in Atlanta, and in the Hawks locker room, Manniu gathered all his teammates together and began to instill spells into each teammate:

"Don't be careless, don't be negligent at all! We've paid a heavy price for our negligence, we can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past, I know many of you have set your sights on G6, but G5 isn't over yet, and as long as the game time is not over, you must not give Celtic a chance. ”

At the moment, it was superfluous to say that the tactics were redundant, and Woodson only highlighted some defensive details, leaving the time to the players themselves, and the players themselves discussed the method of the game.

On the other hand, the locker room of the Green Army was filled with Tom Thibodeau's roar: "Focus, don't be fooled by Atlantans, you can do better, every player on the court needs to contribute their own strength, the Celtics are not only the Big Three, as long as you play, every one of you must become a giant!"

Thibodeau's ability to get such a voice is inseparable from the support of Danny Angie.

In fact, during Rivers' coaching, Thibodeau has already gained a lot of execution rights on the defensive end, and after the river document got out of class, General Manager Green Kai straightened Thibodeau, on the one hand, there is the idea of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and on the other hand, it is like changing the chicken soup recipe of the river document, so that Thibodeau, who is better at adjusting defense, becomes more active.

Will the Big Three disagree with Thibodeau? After all, this guy has no previous coaching experience.

But in fact, the Big Three of Green Kai gave Thibodeau the greatest respect, even if this fat man did not have a brilliant coaching experience, they were willing to follow his command.

In the final analysis, the three people who want to win the championship are also confused about the future, the years have passed, and the flesh has come back to life.

Or rather, they didn't succumb to Tom Thibodeau, they succumbed to their own quest for a championship.

The second half of the game officially began, and the two sides returned to the field with their main players.

On the offensive end of the Celtics, as in the first quarter, Green Kai put the heavy responsibility of attacking with the ball in the opening stage on Ray Allen.

After many games, Green Kai has summed up the most efficient offensive mode.

This is not only to facilitate the attention of the Hawks, to free up space for Garnett and Pierce's offense, but also to drain Embarrassment's energy on the offensive end, so that he can expend as much physical energy as possible and not be able to make a difference on the offensive end of the Hawks.

Ray Allen, who came out of the baseline, shot directly after receiving a pass from Rondo.

Hurry up and neatly, without any delay, Garnett and Perkins' solid double cover, Rondo's just right pass, and Ray Allen's steady shot, together complete the attack.

On the offensive end of the Hawks, Dragic held the ball in the front court, and after judging the situation on the court, he chose to break through with the ball.

Erniu took the initiative to lift up to cover him, and the claw machine took advantage of the situation to hit the basket, and under Perkins' defense, the claw machine chose to force a throw.

"Bang!"

Didn't hit!

At that time, the eclipse was a clever reverse run, slipped from the baseline into the basket, slammed up from the ground, caught the ball with both hands in the air, and completed the violent dunk.

In fact, in the past few games, Lunar Eclipse's individual performance has been relatively stable, because his scoring can almost always be empty cuts or impact the basket, so Lunar Eclipse even exceeds the regular season in offensive efficiency.

In this round of the series, although Garnett can occasionally stage a drama with Erniu, his average data per game in the series is only 18+8, compared to the lunar eclipse that seems to have been blown up but can still contribute an average of 15+6 per game and a roughly equivalent shooting rate, the gap between the two may not be as big as people think.

In the following game, Ray Allen continued to chase points for the Celtics with three-pointers, and on the Hawks' side, the lunar eclipse also played the best quarter of the series since the beginning of the series.

While restraining Garnett, he repeatedly held the ball and hit the basket to make kills, won free throws many times, and even 2+1.

So far, the Lunar Eclipse, which is averaging 60% shooting per game in the playoffs, has also performed quite well at the free-throw line, shooting 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, scoring regular points from the outside, and scoring 11 points in a single quarter, which is the second scoring point of the Hawks in this quarter.

The Celtics didn't outperform the Hawks in the first half of the third quarter, so the Hawks kept the score in double digits all the time, and the Green had no chance to close the score.

The two sides began to rotate in small areas, such as Rashid Wallace for Perkins, Toni Allen for Ray Allen, Crawford for Salmons, Bibby for Dragic, and so on.

Just when everyone thought the game would survive the third quarter in such a fierce tug-of-war, the scales of victory tipped again.

Rondo held the ball in front of him, and when he found that it was not Dragic, who was not weak in power and speed, but Mike Bibby, who had no power but was slow in the No. 1 position, Rondo suddenly broke out.

Rajon Rondo is perhaps an underrated guy for quite some time, and since Green Kai has not been able to win the championship so far, the name of the Big Four is more like a mockery.

But in fact, in addition to shooting a mess, this guy is quite good in terms of organizational ability on the offensive end, as well as single defense and judgment on the defensive end.

Dry pulling, face shooting!

Rondo, who had the ball just over half, did not hesitate at all, and made a long-range shot against Bibi's defense.

"Brush!"

Hit!

People are lucky, and it is true that Rondo can score one or two goals, but Rondo has made three points, which is indeed a bad sign for the Hawks.

Fortunately, Ruan Erniu was also not soft on the offensive end, he took the initiative to lift the outside line, and after Yu Sen broke through the ball, Erniu also hit a three-pointer at 45 degrees on the right side.

However, Lang's offensive mode has been turned on, but Woodson has not woken up and continues to defend Rondo with Bibi.

Breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough!

I have to say that Kevin Garnett, Rashid Wallace, Glenn Davis, and Paul Pierce are also very good at blocking and defending, and with Rajon Rondo who is in explosive form, Green Kai was instantly activated on the offensive end.

It's not that Ruan Erniu and Lunar Eclipse don't want to defend the basket, but Garnett, Wallace and even Big Baby Davis have all proven their mid-range shooting ability in the first few games, and as a rotation, Lunar Eclipse and Ruan Erniu can only take turns to do switchback runs in the direction of the basket 17 feet or even more to ensure defensive intensity.

But when Rondo made consecutive layups, Erniu never ran out of the three-second zone on the defensive end of the game, only those who were killed, not scared to death.

It wasn't so easy for the Celtics' outside shooters to shoot the Hawks, but Rondo hit the basket again and again, and almost reached a 100% shooting rate.

Shooting 5 of 6 in a single quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointers and 1 of 3 free throws, he scored 12 points, 4 assists, and 1 rebound in a single quarter.

This product's autonomous offensive ability is definitely not up to the standard of giants, but under the Celtic system, to say that he is not a giant is indeed to open his eyes and tell nonsense.

Ruan Erniu seems to have returned to the scene when he watched the NCAA for the first time a few years ago, and the Kentucky point guard's super control of the court reappeared on the court with the NBA.

The Hawks were outscored in the second half of the third quarter, but their offensive performance did not disappoint too much.

Nguyen Erniu hit two three-pointers in a row to keep the Hawks alive, while Mike Bibby was a complete sieve on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, he was still able to rely on solid fixed-point shooting to save points for the Hawks.

The Lang giants probably also consumed too much energy on the offensive end, so that he couldn't completely limit the calm performance of the White Devils on the defensive end.

When Bibby also hit two three-pointers in the quarter, the Celtics found that they had been busy for a long time, and the score was once again pulled apart.

At 30:28, the Hawks looked embarrassed in the third quarter, but in fact, they only lost to Green Kai by 2 points.

At the end of the third quarter, 80:86, the Hawks still maintained a six-point lead, which was not enough to guarantee the final victory, but it also did not allow Green Kai to take too much advantage.

The game started quickly in the final quarter, and Ruan Erniu stood up and said to Woodson: "I'm going to play the fourth quarter, don't stop me!"

Egghead was stunned for a moment, but then nodded and said, "Kill the Celtics!"

Ruan Erniu's opponent at this time was Glenn Davis, and Tony Allen, who was in charge of controlling the ball, hesitated for a moment, but still passed the ball into the hands of Big Baby.

According to the arrangement during the break, at the beginning of the last quarter, the big baby should have been the main attacker, but seeing that the leader of the team did not rest at the end of the quarter and took the initiative to defend Davis, it was still slightly beyond the expectations of the Green Army.

Erniu once again met a dead mouse with a blind cat, and now it depends on whether the big baby has the courage to continue to attack with the ball.

Of course he has the guts, and for a player as fat as him, it's a great time to make a name for himself.

Davis received the ball with his back, and chiseled twice in a row but did not chisel Ruan Erniu, and the next plate of the wild bull was too stable.

Big Baby immediately made a turnaround jumper, wanting to end the battle with a mid-range shot.

"Smack!"

Ruan Er's bull's eye was quick, and he cut off the basketball with one palm.

Salmons got the basketball, raced to the frontcourt, and then suddenly pulled out and ended the fight with a three-pointer in the transition.

"Big baby, I heard that KG scolded you and cried during training, hey, why don't you go home and find your mother to breastfeed, this is a man's battlefield!"

Nguyen didn't let his guard down just because the opponent was a role player. It should be said that instead of letting down their vigilance, they directly attacked him with trash talk, further undermining the opponent's self-confidence.

Sure enough, when an MVP-level character like Ruan Erniu stimulated Davis with words that were not vicious but piercing enough, the big baby was instantly confused!

Breaking the ball, blocking, or simply counterattacking, staged a head-on dunk, knocked the fat baby directly to the floor, and slid all the way to a distance of 3 or 4 meters.

Tom Thibodeau's substitution was also a little late, and by the time he brought off a crying Davis, the Hawks had once again extended the score to double digits.

The battle in the final quarter was extremely fierce, Ruan Erniu and Garnett fell over, Dragic was directly knocked out of a tooth by Rondo, and even a calm guy like Embarrassing Sen had an elbow incident with Ray Allen.

Despite the strong smell of gunpowder, both sides tried to restrain each other's emotions.

With two minutes played, the Hawks still held a 14-point lead, and the Celtics were forced to take the risk of shooting three-pointers.

Ray Allen and Pierce hit a goal in quick succession, and the score returned to single digits again.

At the moment of locking, Embarrassment stepped forward, he first stole Garnett's point-split, completed a rare breakaway dunk in the offensive transition, and then received Erniu's point-of-mouth on the offensive end, calmly completing a three-point shot with decisive significance.

Embarrassed, who scored five points in a row at the last moment, sealed the game, and he and Erniu teamed up to dominate the final quarter of the game.

At 110:124, the Hawks won a crucial win at G5's home court, winning the Battle of Tianwang Mountain and earning a series match point.

Eddie gives Erniu a big hug in the tunnel and declares that his dad is the greatest man in the world.

In this game, Ruan Erniu played 45 minutes and did not rest for a minute in the entire second half, and was the player with the most playing time in G5. He shot 14-of-20 from the field, including 3-of-4 from three-point range and 10-of-12 from the free-throw line, for a big triple-double of 41 points, 22 rebounds and 10 assists.

At the post-match press conference, the Celestial Empire announced loudly: "We will fly back to Atlanta with the Eastern Conference qualification, and G6 will be the last game of this round of the series." ”

Of course, Celtic did not dare to admit defeat, and in the 2-day G6, Celtic played an extremely good defensive intensity at home.

Under a defensive battle, the two sides struggled quite in the first half of G6, and both teams did not have a high shooting percentage, and the iron sound was almost never broken.

However, age finally became the last straw that overwhelmed the Celts.

The story of the 07-08 season happened again in the third quarter of the G6 game, but that time Green Kai experienced two rounds of stealing seven before he was caught by the Hawks with the weakness of declining physical fitness, and this time, Green Kai's old guy is indeed not at the peak of physical fitness.

Skills can be increased, experience can be accumulated, but physical talent will be mercilessly eaten up by time.

At the beginning of the second half, the Hawks began to speed up, and the defensive counterattacks again and again made Green Kai have no power to parry. Atalanta's group of shooters went on a collective rampage, and the whole team scored 43 points in a single quarter, taking away the decisive battle in one wave.

In the final quarter of the game, Green Kai was still unwilling to give up the last hope, the Green Kai Big Three and the Lang Giant fought to the last moment, and Dan Crawford, who enforced the game, also gave the Green Army multiple free throw opportunities, but the score gap between the two teams was too big, and the Celtics were still hopeless after all.

At 126:94, the Hawks defeated their opponents by 32 points in the battle of life and death, and undisputed the ticket to the Eastern Conference finals.

The three-year-old Green Big Three are once again on the road to the championship, and they should be the strongest team in the East, provided that the Atlanta Hawks and Nguyen Er Niu are all excluded.

Erniu hugged his opponents hard after the game, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett.

Two years ago, after the Green Army lost to the Eagles, Garnett went straight back to the locker room in a bad mood, without the idea of saying hello to Ruan Erniu, two years later, the seriously injured Garnett seems to have recognized his professional future.

His physical condition is declining relentlessly, and the future will definitely belong to Ruan Erniu and others.

"Congratulations, Kraft!" It's hard to imagine that these words came out of KG's mouth.

Erniu was really afraid that he would immediately shout FXXX in the next second, and spray himself with saliva by the way, but he didn't ......

Manniu smiled and turned around and hugged Garnett, and said seriously: "KG, your existence makes all this (victory) more meaningful!"

Dragic, who had just had his teeth knocked out, laughed like a fool, and the Slovenian handsome guy was bleeding again.

Embarrassed Sen was talking to Danny Ainge on the sidelines, as if discussing the gains and losses of the Green Army sending him away.

Mike Woodson stepped forward to shake hands with Tom Thibodeau very graciously, and although the Hawks were the ultimate winners, the performance of the Green Army led by Thibodeau was still awe-inspiring.

……

The Hawks, who eliminated the Green Army 4-2, will return to Atlanta, and Nguyen Er Niu will also usher in his second solo press conference of the playoffs a day later.

The reason is that he managed to win the regular season MVP for the second year in a row!
