In the NBA, there are two kinds of games that are the most anxious, one is "tie-breaking" and the other is "Tianwang Mountain". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Tenno Mountain" is a battle for series points, which can often determine the final victory or defeat.

The battle between the Celtics and the Magic began at eight o'clock in the evening. In prime time, the whole United States broadcast live, which naturally doubled the attention of this game, not only did each TV station send a commentary on the "ace combination", but also a lot of celebrities and team fathers appeared in TD North Shore Garden.

This made the home advantage make the Celtics feel like a rainbow at the beginning.

The Celtics hit the first goal with a dunk under Shi Lei's impact basket, and then successfully defended after Ray. Allen hit the first three-pointer of the game and kicked off the team's offensive frenzy in the first quarter with a 5-0 wave.

After the Magic arrived at the Celtics' home court, they were obviously a little uncomfortable, and Howard also lost the unprecedented unexpected touch of the previous game, and the first three shots were all missed, and it was not until the third minute of the game that he hit a goal for the team.

In this game, the Celtics' defense made some adjustments, and Shi Lei, who had been defending Howard in the previous games, was finally liberated by Rivers and became the team's real power forward.

This worked well, the Magic was more inclined to the offensive mode of perimeter shooting, allowing the Celtics to concentrate on the outside defense, which was very powerful, and Howard had a poor hand, and after the Celtics used Perkins to defend him alone, it seemed that he couldn't play, contributing only 11 points in a single quarter. That gave the Celtics an 11-point lead in the first quarter. At this time, the score on the court was 28:17.

The Celtics led by double digits in a single quarter, the first of their kind in a series, and it made the fans who saw the team win this crucial game to adjust the atmosphere very warmly.

"Celtic look like they've found their way back to the game!"

Bill who came here again. Wharton is also very happy, he has always been the most staunch supporter of this kind of team.

"It looks like it is. But Beal, the Magic had a very low shooting percentage in the first quarter of the game, and I don't think they were going to keep shooting like that for a night, and Jeff should be able to make adjustments soon! ”

"If tactics are so important, what else do you need from the stars?"

Bill. Wharton doesn't share Tolbert's views.

He seems to be right, Big Van Gundy seems to be really "poor in donkey skills", and after the start of the second quarter of the game, he still let Howard, who did not have a high shooting percentage, play inside.

The Celtics' lead continued to expand, but the defensive pressure on Perkins became heavy.

He wasn't Howard's opponent in the first place, both in terms of strength and agility. This kind of reluctance soon allowed him to get his second defensive foul.

"Oh, Howard caused Perkins' foul, Perkins got two fouls, but he did a very good job and did a very successful defensive job with Howard, and as long as he can control his foul count a little more, then he will help the Celtics win this game!"

In Bill. Wharton's explanation, Tolbert, who had always been too silent, did not let go of his brow: "Bill, I want to ...... Oh, the chance that magic has been waiting for! Perkins now has three fouls, and that's what the Magic are for, and they took advantage of Perkins' lack of control over fouls and wanted to knock him down so that the Celtics would be in a situation where no one was available on the inside! Yes, that's it, that's what Jeff is for, that's why he doesn't adjust his tactics for the team! It's a trap, a hidden deep trap, oh my! Jeff's arrangement in this game is truly impressive! ”

Bill. Wharton was silent, and then he suddenly realized that the Celtics were in trouble!

The fans didn't stop cheering, the Celtics already led their opponents by 19 points, and as for Perkins fouling, does Perkins matter?

Rivers hurriedly called a timeout, a cold sweat slipped down his forehead, the team is completely out of the team now that can resist Howard, so what to do now? Do you want Shi Lei to return to the inside line to do the promising job of blue-collar workers?

What Rivers needs to solve now is not one problem, but many.

Shi Lei returned to the inside, and the Magic even the big forward floated on the outside group, which will inevitably tear the Celtics' defense into a big hole, who is the one to make up for this gap? Rivers can't find it!

Without Shi Lei's impact, who can help the team press enough offensive space? Rivers couldn't find it either!

Without an inside player who can stand on the inside, who will cover the team's outside offense? Rivers can't find it!

Rivers couldn't find it, there were so many problems here, he couldn't find a solution, however, now there were almost 7 minutes left until the end of the second quarter!

Rivers was a little overwhelmed!

Jeff. Van Gundy finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had actually been in torment, every time the margin was widened, but fortunately, he managed to persevere, and successfully persevered until the eve of dawn!

"Beautiful! Excellent, Dwight! Now that our opponents have completely lost control of the basket, they will let their Mr. King guard that position, and this is the only one on their team who can stand there and still live, so gentlemen, our chance has come, and there is no one to replace him on the outside! Heedo, Rashad, now it's time to test your senses, the team needs you, they need you to use your shots to bring back the victory of this vital game for the team! Dwight, protect all the rebounds you can! We're going to make it to the finals, trust me, you can do that, just finish this game and we'll be able to compete for that championship ring!" ”

Rivers was still at a loss, and now he hesitated with any options, but there was no time, and he had to call a long timeout again after the short timeout!

"Shi, you have to get back inside and back to their center, watch your defense, and don't get yourself into foul trouble until you can get out of that position!

Rajan, now we need your rebounds, help the stones, help us keep more rebounding control, and control the offensive tempo, what we need is to slow down the pace of the game.

Mickey, you're going to be the big forward for the team, don't let them do too much in this position, and I'm sure you can do that, right?

Ray, you'll have to help Rajan keep the pace of the game under control, and, score! Now the team needs you to score!

Paul, go pound the basket, now you have to do that, no matter how tired it will make you!

Finally, tell me, where is this? ”

"TD North Shore Garden, Boston!"

"Tell me, what are we going to do?"

"Win the game, make it to the Grand Final, and take that damn ring!"

"We see Mikey. Moore has risen from the bench and may replace Kendrick as the team's center, but apparently, he won't be the Celtics' choice to defend Howard, a position that should continue to be given to Shi! ”

Bill. Wharton nodded this time and agreed with Tolbert's opinion: "It should be like this, Shi did a good job of defending the Magic center in the first few games, but in this way, the outside line of the Magic will become a problem, without Kevin, Shi can't get rid of the basket confrontation, and the Celtics' defensive threat will become much smaller!" ”

The gap in the Celtics' defense was felt by the Magic players as soon as they came on the court, although each of them tried their best to defend, but they lacked Shi Lei's all-round strategy, and relied more on the player's individual ability to defend, which soon allowed the Magic to create a position.

Alston passed the ball to Turkoglou and slid it along the touchline to cross with Pitglu for a chance to receive the ball.

Mickey. Moore is a flexible interior player who is very active and passionate defensively, and it is not easy for Lewis to receive the ball under his defense, but after Alston completes the catch-and-break break, he has to come up to make up for it.

This gave Lewis a chance, Alston passed, and Lewis received the ball to face Ray, who was in a hurry to change the defense. Allen makes a jumper.

"Rashad's feel doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it!"

Seeing Lewis' shot fall neatly into the basket, Bill. Wharton shook his head and sighed. In fact, this year is also the year when Lewis's "100 million yuan" contract is the most cost-effective, and it can only be said that the Celtics are unlucky enough to meet the year when the two most important players of the Magic broke out in a concentrated manner!

The score on the court became 17 points, and the Celtics attacked.

Shi Lei held the ball on the outside, and the Celtics' inside line was completely empty. More's inability to get up to the basket and his lack of perimeter shooting has left the Celtics' offensive pressure focused on the perimeter.

Shi Lei broke through with the ball, and Pete Grew was smart not to take a defensive frontal interception, but suppressed him all the way into the basket with him. Shi Lei was embarrassed at this time, Pete Gru occupied his change of direction space, and Howard was eyeing him in front of him.

For other teams, it is a disaster to let Shi Lei, James and others enter the basket, but this definitely does not include magic, they have a "monster" that can fight against anyone!

Shi Lei can only pass the ball, Lei. After Allen received the ball, he was caught by Alston and Lewis, one was flexible, the other was tall, and the "laser gun" of "Junzi Lei" did not dare to fire at will, and hurriedly passed the basketball to the empty Rondo.

Rondo broke through with the ball, and Pitaglu had already let go of Shi Lei and transferred the defense here.

There were only twenty-four seconds for an attack, and after many passes, time was running out, and when Rondo passed the ball to Pierce again, he didn't even have a chance to get rid of the opponent, so he could only force his shot, and watched the basketball go out of the basket and be protected by Howard.

The inside line can't stand, and even the team's offensive line to the inside line is blocked, seeing this offense, Rivers is even more worried about the team's next game, but this can't change anything!

"For the Celtics, they have to find the fulcrum of the offense on the inside right now, or they can be hot enough to shoot the opponent to death!"

The Magic's offense is once again complete. After Howard came out to be the "wall", Turkoglu finally scored his first shot of the game from the outside.

The score of 19 points became 14 points in the blink of an eye, but the time of the game only passed a little more than a minute.

Rondo tried to kill time on the perimeter, and the Magic didn't interfere, and they only had Pete Grew on the outside to follow Ray. Allen, the rest of the group all shrunk inside the three-point line.

Shi Lei suddenly confronted Mickey in the confrontation with Howard. Moore made a combination, pulled near the baseline, received a pass from Rondo, and forced Lewis who came up to change the defense, attracted Howard under the basket, and passed to Pierce.

However, Howard's return was too fast, and Pierce broke through to the basket, and Howard returned there.

"Pause!"

Rivers, who was caught off guard, called a timeout in a panic after the team's offensive miss.

He reversed his adjustment and replaced Davis with Mickey, who had just come on the pitch. Moore.

Davis has a stable mid-range shot, and the tonnage is enough to resist Howard, the idea is beautiful!

On the first offense after restarting, Howard told Rivers about his mistake in the adjustment.

Shi Lei returned to the outside, and the Magic got no chance on the perimeter, dropping the basketball to Howard on the inside.

Howard didn't need to make any unnecessary moves, caught the ball and turned around and jumped straight from the basket.

Davis is really slow, and his weight makes him really like the floor, and he can't do anything in the face of Howard's overlord, and the height of the jump is something he can't get.

"Boom!"

In the moaning of the basketball hoop, the Celtics allowed the opponent to narrow the gap to 12 points, the cheers of the fans finally stopped, and the team was already naked 00 naked trouble, and everyone here had a clean perspective!

Who will save the Celtics?

Fans began to shout out the names of the stars, Pierce, Ray. Alun, Shi Lei.....

Jeff. Van Gundy clenched his fists: "It's close, it's close, they're going to collapse soon, just complete this defense!" ”

Jeff. Van Gundy has seen more and more light on his victory, and the Magic players feel that they have mastered the situation on the court.

Pierce forced a breakthrough to the basket, Howard came out and passed the ball to Shi Lei, and Lewis switched defenses.

In the fleeting offensive opportunity, Shi Lei did not break through this time, and he did not have a good shooting position, and he crossed Davis who was standing on the bottom line.

"Davis' shot!"

A shot that could change the fate of both teams, so that Beal. Wharton shouted excitedly, but Davis finally couldn't withstand the pressure of the game in this scorching game!

Not everyone is a big contestant!
