The Hawks and the Heat, after seven difficult games, the Hawks finally defeated the Heat 91-78 with their home-court advantage and advanced to the second round with a total score of 4-3.

The Hawks, who reached the second round for the first time in 10 years, were knocked out in the first round by the Celtics last year, and meet their old rivals in the second round this year, can they cause more problems for the Celtics?

Of course, that's what the media is reporting about, and the Hawks don't think so, and Garnett's absence gives them that confidence.

"They were champions last season, but they weren't a complete Celtics, we had a clear advantage on the inside, Zaza [Pachuria] and Al [Horford] were both very good players, and of course, we've seen them play against the Bulls, but obviously we're the better on the inside.

So for us, the most important thing we need to think about right now is our perimeter defense, we have to defend all of them, yes, it's hard, they're really strong on the perimeter, but luckily their No. 11 has to go up to No. 4 and that's good news for us. So our goal is to win at least one game at Celtic's home stadium! ”

Before the game, the head coach of the Hawks, Mike . Woodson put a very big mouth cannon, but this is what the Celtics are most worried about, whether it is Pachulia or Horford, neither of them can compare with Thomas and Noaa. This is also the focus of Celtic's pre-match arrangement.

The Hawks' mobility is not inferior to that of the Bulls, and their lineup is more reasonable, with stronger scoring ability and more experience, so Rivers gave up the winning weapon of defeating the Bulls in the first round, and put Shi Lei back on the bench and used Davis as the team's starting power forward.

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

After the Celtics players high-fived each other and encouraged each other, they walked out of the dark tunnel one after another, and the fans broke out into a burst of enthusiastic cheers. The team is facing some difficulties right now, but that hasn't made them lower their expectations of the team's goals, and they still firmly believe that the Celtics are the best team in the NBA and deserve the ultimate victory.

"Yes, we'll be the champions of the season!"

But the race began to show them how tough it was!

Soon it was time for the game to start, and the players from both sides began to play, and in the front row of the Celtic players, only Garnett in suits and leather shoes and Shi Lei were left.

The injury made Garnett feel a little gloomy, and during the game, Shi Lei was usually very quiet, which made the area quiet for a while.

Perkins couldn't beat Horford in the jump ball, but Rondo, who was selected for the defensive lineup, then pressed Bibby with his body, forced a steal, and assisted Pierce to break through and dunk to get the Celtics off to a good start.

But the cheers of the Celtics fans only exploded for more than ten seconds, and the Hawks, who had the advantage under the basket, hit a three-pointer from the outside, fearlessly plunging into the "sea of fire" to extinguish all enthusiasm.

Although then Ray. Allen hit a mid-range shot and then overtook the score, but the old Bibby, who had lost most of his breakthrough ability, used an unscrupulous three-pointer to cut the "throat" of Celtics fans.

The tide began to turn around at this second, and the Hawks turned into a rainbow of momentum, opening their second round of the playoffs with an 11-4 run.

The Hawks are a very mobile team, and the large number of swingmen also makes it difficult for this team to be beaten out of the so-called misalignment, that is, to beat the big against the small. In fact, the Hawks are very restrained by the Celtics in the lineup, and without Garnett, this restraint is even more obvious.

The tactics that the Eagles are executing today are very old, it was very popular in the eighties and nineties, and it was the most common tactic used by every team with a strong center. That is, the inside line is in the position under the basket, and the outside line is spread out to shoot.

It's a simple tactic, but the Celtics just can't handle it.

The Hawks' obvious advantage over the basket meant that the Celtics had to shrink their defenses into it, and perimeter players were ready to help defend the basket.

It was Rivers' pre-match plan, but he's having to adjust his strategy now.

Less than two minutes into the game, the Celtics called for their first timeout, and Rivers adjusted the team's defense and reverted to his old man-to-man tactics.

"Shi, we're going to have trouble in this game!"

After his teammates returned to the court, Garnett opened his mouth to say the first thing he said after being in the chair.

Shi Lei nodded: "Their inside line will definitely strengthen the attack next!" ”

Rivers also knows this, but all he can do now is heal his head and feet. He only hopes that his outside group can be sharper today.

But..... Thunder. Allen is dumb under the Hawks' defense!

"So bro, next you have to get yourself more points!"

Shi Lei nodded, this is his unyielding responsibility: "Yes, they will know how brutal the Celtic king is!" ”

Shi Lei's description of himself finally made the gloom on Garnett's face dissipate a little: "I like brutality, I believe everyone here will like it!" ”

But the "brutal" Shi Lei can only sit off the field now, and he can't save his team.

The Hawks did step up their interior offense after the timeout, and Perkins and Davis, especially Davis, who moved slightly slower, were fully exploited by them, and Pachulia and Horford teamed up to make three consecutive offenses and cause Perkins to be fouled defensively.

In Ray. When Allen was in trouble, Pierce could only face it on his own, frequently scoring through breakaway layups, and after the Hawks' defense shifted to him, he gave Davis, who pulled to the baseline, two assists, and struggled to bite the score in the first eight minutes of the first quarter.

But then, the Hawks' outside line suddenly came into play, and after Bibby hit a three-point shot, Joe. Johnson hit a three-pointer and made a steal on Rondo in the middle of the defense, and after a wave of 8-0, he stopped the Celtics again.

After the timeout, the "brutal" Shi Lei stood up from the bench.

At this time, his expression was extraordinarily relaxed, and before he went on the field, he also looked at the camera on the scene and lit up his biceps.
