Chapter 217: Scene 6 (Part II)
The Cavaliers' home stadium was overcrowded today, on par with TD's North Shore Gardens, and when the visitors played, the boos that erupted here seemed to make the whole of America tremble. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a difficult fifth game, Celtic actually had a psychological advantage in this game, not only because they won the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain", but also because the next game will also be on their home turf if it can be played, so although the crowd here has put a lot of pressure on them, they are still relatively calm.
But the Cavaliers who came out in the violent cheers of the fans, the faces of the players were unusually solemn, they were already standing on the edge of the cliff, and they were not allowed to take another half step back.
This has led to two very different atmosphere in the players' box, where the Celtics are talking and laughing, and there is no tension between teammates, while the Cavaliers on the other end are silent in the midst of all kinds of cheers.
But all this is just an illusion, the Cavaliers have a belief in winning this game, and the Celtics also don't want to let go, the calmness on their faces is just a pre-war relaxation, when they really stand on the court, their spirit is completely concentrated.
Their opponents have already appeared, and while they are still on their way, the Celtics don't want to wait any longer.
This is a tragic game, sitting in front of the computer, from the first second of the game, Shi Lei felt the determination exuded by his teammates, but the difficulty of this game was much more difficult than what he felt.
Garnett helped the team get possession, Rondo was blocked by the Cavaliers from the outside in the advance, and the basketball was handed to Ray. Alan.
Thunder. As soon as Allen received the ball, the Cavaliers' defense shrank inside, and it was clear that this was to cut off his inside and outside connection with Garnett.
Looking at this situation, Ray. Allen immediately took a shot, however, the basketball was rejected by the basket.
Thunder. Allen's rate of fire is fast, it is difficult to defend, and he has a soft touch, but as if he is cursed, his "cooling-off period" is extraordinarily long.
Before this game, in response to the Cavaliers' defensive intensity on the inside, Rivers emphasized the team's outside shooting, and he hoped that the outside shooting could increase the defensive area of the hand, so as to liberate his inside, but the outside scoring is too dependent on the opponent's feeling. Allen's miss made a layer of gloom appear on Rivers' face.
After halftime, West crossed the ball to James. Defending James head-on is still Pierce, Ray. Aaron was on hand to assist. The Celtics' defensive strategy was no secret at this time, and James immediately took a step after receiving the ball, and then pushed towards the Celtics' interior line like a tiger.
As soon as James moved, the Celtics' defense also moved, and Pierce immediately stepped up to meet Ray. Aaron echoed from afar, weaving a sturdy halter over the head of James' wild horse.
James' passing is actually so-so, but his hard-to-match breakthrough bonus allows him to always create open opportunities for his teammates. This time, however, he was facing a solid defence built by the master of the defense, Thibodeau.
After the basketball was passed to Szebiak there was no Ray. Allen's rapid-fire skills made the Celtics' defense back in place in a blink of an eye, and Rondo's interference made his shot miss the same.
"That big guy is stupid, why didn't he pass the basketball out?"
Alice's vomiting made Shi Lei shake his head and smile bitterly, in the eyes of fans, the stadium is full of loopholes, but they can't see the trap under the cover of loopholes, and they can't understand how difficult it is to make a reasonable choice in less than 0.0 seconds.
Of course, Shi Lei also has no intention of popularizing science in basketball: "That's why some people are stars, and some people can only be substitutes." ”
As soon as the two talked, the opposing two sides completed another attack and defense against each other, and still no one was able to break down the opponent's defensive barrier, and the ball was transferred to the Celtic again.
The Celtics' offense finally kicked off, with Pierce's basket breaking away for the first goal of the game, and in turn, West also opened the scoring after receiving a pass from James.
The first quarter of the game between the two sides was so stalemate, you score and I score, you hit the iron and I hit the iron, no one can help anyone, until the end of the first quarter, the scores of both sides are still equal.
A long-term equilibrium is out of the question, and with 6:12 left in the second quarter, Garnett hit a shot to give the Celtics a 31-25 lead.
Seeing this, the nervous Shi Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was too happy too soon, this turned out to be the last shot the Celtics hit in this quarter of the game, and in the time since, they only relied on free throws to score two points.
The Cavaliers seized the opportunity this time and went on a 16-2 run to take a 42-33 lead at the end of the first half, with West hitting a buzzer-beating three-pointer.
The Celtics' plight is far from over, and after Garnett was watched, Ray was watched. Allen didn't feel good and after Pierce ran out of energy for the defense, no one stepped up to carry the banner of the team's attack.
At the beginning of the second half, they still missed shots frequently, but Tony who did an exceptionally good defensive job in the last game. Allen still played on the shelves in this game, and under his stalking moves, the Cavaliers' offensive wave also came to an end, and the two sides slowly returned to a tug-of-war state.
In the case of unequal strength, no strategy can be effective for a long time. With more than three minutes of play going in the third quarter, Ray Murray. Allen scored the first goal of the second half for his team as Celtic began their counter-attack.
With the recovery of the outside touch, the Celtics once narrowed the gap to three points, but in the final stage of the game, Toney's defense against James was invalidated, leading the Cavaliers to score six consecutive points before the end of the quarter and reopened the gap at 59:50.
Shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers had a 13-point advantage at 65:52.....
At this point in the game, Shi Lei stretched out his hand and turned off the computer, there was no need to look at it, the physical strength of the two sides had almost been lost, but there was still one person who still had the strength to fight - James!
"The game isn't over yet!"
"No, it's over."
Shi Lei got up from his chair and stretched. (To be continued.) )
