The Hawks were not the ones who couldn't fight back, first giving the ball to Horford on the inside to play alone, and the other four players ran off the ball, forcing the Celtics to shrink the defense, and Horford passed the ball out. Pen Fun www.biquge.info Teague took the ball and dribbled it to Korver, who passed it horizontally to Bazemore on the other side.

Horford stuck in position, took the ball again to dribble and observe, and scored again, the Hawks played very patiently, and after the ball came out, it continued to be transmitted, and finally found an opportunity for Korver, and hit a three-point shot steadily.

It's a typical Spurs tactic, coach Mike Budenholzer, and it's been used successfully with the Hawks.

It was the Celtics' turn to attack, there were not many tactics to speak of, Shangguan Yu fell to a high position again to get the ball, and it was Seflosha with his back alone, Shangguan Yu didn't have the idea of passing, and when he saw the others pull away, he began to dribble and squeeze inside. Sepholosha's strength was no match for Shangguan Yu, so he could only resist as best he could.

When he was obsessed with physical confrontation, Shangguan Yu turned around and retreated, and made another mid-range jumper.

Swish!

The ball hollows into the net, 4-5.

Seflosha defended one-on-one, but Shangguan Yu couldn't help it, the problem was to see how his shooting percentage was.

In fact, in the playoffs, the team with a strong offense may not be able to win, but the player with a good defense is definitely not so easy to be defeated. When it comes to critical moments, it still depends on defense.

The Celtics started by defense, and when they won the championship from the Lakers, it was a group of defensive giants led by the wolf king Garnett, who limited the opponent's main scoring points in order to taste the championship.

The Eagles' defense is not bad, although the individual defense ability is not particularly good, but the victory is good in defense as a whole. In the first two rounds of the opening round, both sides played well, but at the beginning of the third round, the defensive intensity began to increase, and the two sides began to play iron frequently.

Under the opponent's regional joint defense, it is impossible for Shangguan Yu to get another opportunity to make an easy shot.

But Shangguan Yu has a strong desire to attack, as long as he finds an opportunity, he will definitely shoot without hesitation, without any softness.

The pace of the two sides increased, the confrontation became fierce, and the fire of the last war, which had not yet subsided, was once again ignited.

Boom!

With 2:58 left in the first quarter, Crowder was fighting for a rebound when he was reunited with two Hawks players and then fell heavily to the ground. The expression on his face was painful, and he lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

The team doctor immediately entered the field to check, and finally confirmed that Crowder could not continue the game and could only be sent back to the locker room for further examination.

Supported by two substitutes, Claude limped off the field.

Before the end of the first quarter of the game, the Celtics injured another big player, and together with the suspended Olynyk, the Celtics' regular rotation players have already fallen three.

The situation is starting to get worse and worse, and if Crowder doesn't come back, it will not only affect the strength of the team, but also a blow to morale.

For more than two minutes, the Celtics didn't score a goal, and at the end of the first quarter, the Celtics trailed the Hawks by three points, 17-20.

Seeing such a situation, Ke Fan, who was the Tencent live broadcast of this game, also shook his head helplessly and said: "At present, the Celtics are in a bit of a state on Shangguan Yu, and Thomas is in a very poor state, although he has sent a lot of assists, but the efficiency is not high, and in the current situation, it is difficult for the Celtics to win." ”

Yang Yi continued: "Yes, I got the news that Claude has been sent to the hospital, and it is estimated that it will be reimbursed for the season." His absence has a great impact on the Celtics' defense, and on the offensive end, he can also provide a lot of firepower, which is the Celtics' current fourth scoring point after Bradley, but these two are no longer on the court, and it can only be seen whether there are surprise players and how Thomas plays with Guan Yu. ”

After a short intermission, the game resumed, but Thomas, who had high expectations, did not wake up, although he hit the basket several times, but the ball was slid out of the basket.

He still hasn't found his touch, and the Celtics' offensive responsibilities all fall on Shangguan Yu.

Even if Shangguan Yu is strong, he still can't stand it, the Eagles' starters performed very well today, everyone scored points, and the team's offensive integrity is much better than that of the Celtics. If it weren't for the Celtics' players who tried their best to defend, maybe they would have collapsed in the first half.

At the end of the half, the Celtics trailed the opponent by 11 points at 33-41, and Shangguan Yu scored 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting in the half, and contracted the whole team alone, scoring more than half of the points. Thomas still had a lot of shots, but only hit two of them, and got six points and five assists with free throws.

Even if Thomas doesn't feel good, he is still an indispensable part of the Celtics.

Such a score gap has made many people lose confidence, and some people have even had the idea that Celtic will be overturned by the opponent 4-3.

The game is not over yet, everything is unknown, but if the Celtics want to win the game, Shangguan Yu alone is not enough. The Eagles can trap Shangguan Yu, which is currently Shangguan Yu's most feared tactic, especially when he is ready to attack with the ball, once he encounters the bag, there may be mistakes.

He has to have someone to step up and help him share the pressure on the offensive end, and now Shangguan Yu finally understands that the core of the team is not so easy to be, especially a single-core team, it will be even more difficult to play. It's no wonder that James wants to go to Wade to huddle, feeling sorry for the James who led the team alone before.

Thomas also knows he needs to step up and help his team score.

Shangguan Yu guessed that the opponent would wrap himself up in the second half, so he said to Thomas: "Wait a minute, I'll be the main attacker, you find a chance to shoot in the open space to find some feeling, shoot a few more times, the team needs you." ”

When he doesn't play well, Thomas likes to keep a straight face, but when Shangguan Yu patted himself on the shoulder and said this paragraph, Thomas once again leaked his white teeth.

"I know, brother, come on!"

Everyone knows that Crowder is injured and reimbursed for the season, and at his home stadium, he was still so much behind in the first half, so morale was extremely low, and Thomas, as the core of the team, knew that he had to boost morale, and this time he finally did what a team leader should do.

He called all the players over, then stretched out his hand, and the other players also reached out their hands and hit Thomas's hand.

"Brothers, we will definitely win tonight! Come on, we will win!"

The crowd shouted, "Victory!"

It's not enough to have slogans, but in the end, it depends on the performance of the players. The players of the Celtics are just waiting for the boss to break out and lead them to victory.
