The night in Atlanta is more noisy than in Boston, without the ties of family, without the heavy games, the situation has been extremely clear, and the Celtics players have also put down the burden of their hearts, going out in pairs to experience the beautiful night view of Atlanta, to enjoy the lights of the city, or to meet a charming girl.

Shi Lei declined Pierce's invitation and returned to his room alone. Since he met Jenny, he has become less and less fond of those drunken lives, and he prefers to watch a basketball video quietly when he is alone, his own or his opponent's.

Ball skills can change dramatically overnight, and the "basketball tattoo" has given him the ability to grow rapidly in this regard, but the game experience, the understanding of team tactics, and the clarity of the court situation require Shi Lei's own efforts.

People will only see the brilliance of the player under the fluorescent light, and will not care too much about how much loneliness that person has experienced, how many accumulations in the dead of night, will use such achievements, but Shi Lei is still willing to pay all the efforts he can for the glory of that moment.

Picking up a videotape, Shi Lei silently put it into the DVD of the computer, which he asked Schwartz to collect, the clips of the four playoff games between the Magic and the Cavaliers.

Although the Celtics have only won three games now, Shi Lei knows that the Atlantians are no longer worried, and they are one step closer to their goal, but every step after that, Shi Lei also knows the difficulties involved.

The Cavaliers forced the Celtics into a tiebreaker last season, and Garnett was healthy, and the team had Posey and Cassel on the bench, if it wasn't for the lack of glory he used at the time, the team would probably have stopped here.

So this is an opponent that needs to be treated with caution by the Celtics.

But if he can choose, Shi Lei is still willing to choose the Cavaliers as the team's opponent in the playoffs, compared to which the Magic is even more of a headache for the Celtics.

Howard, the core of the Magic, can be said to be a typical black player, who has been in the NBA for so many years, and still has not made much significant progress in technology, and is still in the low stage of playing with his body. This will cause him to slip quickly late in his career after losing his physical advantage, but the scary thing is that this season is really Howard's prime.

Who can resist such Howard?

has been killed three times by the Magic, and has twice played against Howard in the regular season, Shi Lei knows how difficult he is, although he once used close defense to defend the opponent in the last game of the regular season between the two sides, and suddenly lost the state, but also because of Howard's defensive containment of France, Shi Lei is obviously capable, but he can't be involved in the defense of the team on the outside.

"Hit the perimeter first, let the perimeter shoot on the perimeter, and open up the space under the basket!"

On the spread notebook, Shi Lei recorded the tactical changes of the magic every minute one by one.

"Prevent breakouts and don't shoot well, only interfere with James' shooting!"

After Shi Lei finished writing, he added a note at the end: (They may defend me like this!) ”

"The three-point threat is great, and the height of Lewis and Turkoglu can easily cause the defender to misalign the defense!"

"The Cavaliers' defense began to shift to the outside, and the Magic immediately shifted their offense to the interior!"

"Howard's strong attack under the basket!"

"Magic's defense...... Too dependent on Howard! (Maybe consider making a difference in this area!) ）

"Howard has some problems with foul control!"

Alstom...... Team Offensive Playmaker Tekoglu! ”

"Howard makes a strong attack under the basket, the Cavaliers defense shrinks, and the Magic offense is transferred!"

Time passed minute by minute, Shi Lei spread out the notebook in front of him, and also densely wrote three pages, this was streamlined, find a professional basketball expert to delete a lot of unnecessary parts of the game disc, and finally all played, Shi Lei clicked on fast forward again, and after a cursory browsing, added a few missing places just recorded. Only then did the disc play camera pause, and compared with all the problems recorded in the notebook, I looked at the detailed tactical changes and player positions of each attack and defense of the Magic little by little.

It wasn't until he knew all the changes in magic that Shi Lei picked up his notebook and analyzed the problems he had recorded.

It's a boring and complicated process, and it's what Shi Lei did the most in the three days of the two-day off.

Soon, it was time for the competition, and the "old pedant" Shi Lei could only put down the pen and put on the "robe" again!

"We're going to kill them here once and for all, aren't we?"

In the locker room, before leaving, Shi Lei asked Pierce.

"Of course!"

When it was time for the game, Pierce got serious.

"So man, why don't you tell us your victory speech in advance? You know, no one likes to listen to you after the game! ”

Pierce was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Shi Lei's words, the current Celtic is indeed a little too relaxed, although they have led the opponent 3:0, but they can no longer experience any setbacks!

"Alright, rookie, let me show you how to lead a team to conquer their opponents!"

Pierce immediately said to Shi Lei in a joking way. Then he clapped his hands: "Listen, guys, now we're 3-0 ahead of them, which is good, we've almost booked a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals, but we still can't relax!"

Everyone is saying that the Celtics are going to get nothing this season because their great interior core Kevin is injured, so guys, we should work harder and use our performance to show everyone that we are still the best team in the NBA! So what are we going to do? ”

"Sweep!"

The Celtic players were quick to give their answers.

As a result, the fighting spirit was condensed in the hearts of the Celtic players again, although it was not as exuberant as in the previous games, at least it could ensure that the Celtics would not let the opponent get any chance because of negligence.

In fact, for the Celtics now, this is enough!

In this game, the Hawks still used their strongest lineup, and in the first three games, after Woodson's countless adjustments, they did not find a better way to restrain the Celtics, so the Hawks could only use their strongest strength to meet the opponent in this game.

The Celtics did not make any additional adjustments, Shi Lei is still the team's starting small forward. Allen served as the team's sixth man.

Although Ray. Alun had been preparing for the day for a long time, but when the day really came, he was still a little lonely. Aaron didn't hate Shi Lei for stealing his position, he just complained unwillingly that he was "old" so quickly!

"Come on, bro, try to do everything you can, just like you did before!"

Before the start of the game, Ray. Alun gently bumped fists with Shi Lei and said.

"Yes!"

Shi Lei smiled and nodded.

Players from both sides stood on the court, and Perkins and Horford jumped the ball.

The Eagles got their first chance to attack, Bibby had the ball and Rondo immediately came up to intercept. The rest of the Celtics players hurried back to the basket for a defensive setup.

The Eagles' self-confidence looks to have recovered somewhat, but that doesn't include Josh. Smith, in these three games, he was tortured by Shi Lei a lot. Shi Lei, who usually only defends the opponent's offensive sharpshoots, finally let Smith know why Shi Lei's defense is so praised by some basketball experts because he has to take care of the interior line.

"Hey man, how are you doing, I'm glad to see you again!"

Shi Lei can't forget Josh's arrogant appearance when he was injured, so whenever he has time, Shi Lei wants to tease the other party.

Josh, who was already powerless to refute, simply ignored Shi Lei's words, but he didn't run much, knowing that he couldn't get rid of the other party, so he was waiting for Shi Lei to take the initiative to leave him.

"Rub!"

Shi Lei quickly moved to Williams's side.

Williams, who had just received the basketball and was about to cut through Davis, suddenly poured the basketball out.

Quiet Smith catches a basketball jumper.

The Eagles' tactics seem to have changed a bit, but that can only make a difference when they are taken by surprise, but Woodson can only do so much because their interior playmaking ability is actually pretty average right now. Horford hasn't grown up yet, and Williams isn't a natural second-in-command like Odom.

The Hawks' quick offense gave their home stadium a little bit of life, but there were so few fans who came to the scene today, and their cheers didn't give the team much encouragement or pressure on the Celtics.

When Bibby was on the floor, Shi Lei handed over possession to Rondo and ran into the free throw line himself, replacing Garnett as the pivot connecting the inside and outside lines.

So in fact, in this lineup, when attacking, Davis is responsible for a gunner, and Shi Lei presides over the team's high position, and he is in the same line with Rondo, controlling the team's offense and ball transmission.

Bibi defends Rondo, and can only use the method of preventing breakthroughs and not shooting, and more he can't do anything. Williams and Josh sandwiched Shi Lei in the middle. Johnson single-handedly defended Pierce.

Shi Lei pulled it out, Rondo's pass was in place in one step, and Shi Lei forced a breakthrough along the left diagonal line.

Josh retreated step by step without suppression, and Williams couldn't care about Davis at this time, completely let go of his guard, and always followed Josh's side not far away, occupying the route that Shi Lei might break through.

Shi Lei stepped back to shoot, but his wrist suddenly pressed down in mid-air, and suddenly threw the basketball into Davis's hand on the other side.

Davis's shooting accuracy is one of the best in the team's first line, but his shooting speed is a little slow, but he is still very reliable when there is no defender.

The Hawks unexpectedly scored two points from the inside to the outside, and the Celtics unexpectedly gave up their dominant outside offense for a while and hit two points from the inside.

But the same surprise, the effect is very different, in the second offense of the Hawks, after the Celtics strengthened the operation of the defense more tightly, the so-called combination of the Hawks inside and outside, began to become a strong outside play, or a strong inside play.

But the Celtics are different, after Shi Lei's continuous breakthroughs and continuous passing of the basketball to Davis who ran to the weak side of the defense, Davis actually hit a wave of 4 of 5 shots steadily.

This puts the Hawks' defense in a dilemma, should they defend Davis? This was a problem, so Horford couldn't help but lose his defensive attention, and Shi Lei immediately completed an aerial relay with Perkins......

Time out!

The Celtics' first six offenses, all done from the inside, completely disrupted the Hawks' defensive set-up and forced Woodson to call the first timeout.

At this time, the score on the field was 10:4, and the game was only 3 minutes and 11 seconds into the game.

Some fans began to leave the game, and in this game, the Hawks still did not give their supporters hope to see.

Woodson also doesn't see hope, what can he do? In fact, he has no way, he can't let go of the defense against Shi Lei, and he can't let go of the defense against Pierce. But now the problem is that he can no longer turn a blind eye to Davis!

"Mike's defensive setup for the team was a complete failure, he didn't make any of the opposing players play badly, and instead allowed a substitute player to play an All-Star stat! However, it is undeniable that their small forwards are too strong to break through, which is the most fundamental reason. So our road to the playoffs may end here! ”

The Atlanta TV commentators who broadcast the game were pessimistic, the home fans were pessimistic, and their players couldn't see where the hopes of victory were!

"Strengthen the team's offense, Mike (Bibby), bring up the team's attacking speed!"

With Shi Lei present, Woodson didn't think it would be useful, but there are many ways to die, and Woodson wants his team to die more gorgeously. That's the whole point of his adjustment.

The Hawks have indeed improved a lot after their offense has accelerated, and they have always been able to leave the Celtics' interior behind them a lot of the time, which makes their interior advantage even greater.

However, after the opponent adjusted the defense to man-marking, the Celtics' outside group began to exert their power.

Well...... It's a relatively good game, so let's just say that when a team doesn't think about winning or losing, they always make themselves look gorgeous.

"Well, it looks like it's time to say goodbye to the playoffs again, but the lads are already doing well, it's just that the opponents are doing better than them!"

Shortly after the game entered the fourth quarter, the Hawks simply replaced themselves after a symbolic resistance.

Swept their opponents once more, the Celtics became the first team to reach the division finals!

"Continue to sweep the promotion, and the unfancied defending champion continues his journey!"
