??? `s`a?cIN???? :n??? gn? r?5{l-?? n6R???! 2?????? The biggest problem for a multi-core team like the Tess is that they can't focus their defense on a single player, even if the "superstars" don't play so well. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In this quick counterattack, Rondo's pace has already caused a headache for the Bulls' immature defense, but they still have to put some of their minds on Ray. Aaron, although Ray. Allen's shooting percentage in this game is very average, but no one can guarantee that a player like him will not be able to find the state of "killer grenade" in the next second.
So Rondo changed direction and tore the Bulls' organized perimeter defense and easily put the basketball into the basket before their interior returned.
At this time, the score on the court was 66:59, and the Celtics led the Bulls by 7 points, which was also the largest point difference in the game.
The psychology of the Bulls began to fluctuate, and the illusion that they could beat the Celtics slowly showed signs of dissipation as the margin continued to widen.
They desperately need to recomplete their illusions, so they attack faster.
However, the tactical coordination between them is not enough to match such an offensive speed.
Rose received a basketball from the baseline, turned and rushed towards the Celtics' halfcourt. Rose ran a few steps across the half court when he saw Tony. Allen was already in a defensive position, ready to intercept himself, when Rose suddenly half-turned. Taking advantage of the fact that the Celtics' defense was not completely solid, he poured the basketball to his teammate Ben. After Gordon, the off-ball run shook off Tony. Alan.
Also in the high-speed running Ben. Gordon received a flick after receiving the basketball, and his decisive shot selection for the game allowed Ray. Allen hurriedly raised his hand to cover Gordon in front of him, but Gordon suddenly took a small step to the right. Aaron reacted from the first feint and hurriedly moved a big step sideways to the right, blocking Gordon's path.
Between Gordon quickly a left turn and a moment of Ray. Aaron was left behind.
Tony. Allen had no choice but to give up chasing Rose and switch to Gordon.
Seeing that Rose got the vacant spot, the head coach of the Bulls only felt a light in his eyes, and in his expectant eyes, Gordon lived up to expectations and passed the basketball over.
But it was only a mistake.
The overly fast offense, they didn't control each other's position well, and when they completed all the moves, they were very close to the basket, which gave Shi Lei the opportunity, and he rushed out from under the basket with a lunge and slapped Gordon's pass.
When Shi Lei rhythmically began to dribble and advance, the Bulls teammates ran towards their own half of the court, but Shi Lei's speed would give them so much time to return to defense.
Shi Lei changed hands and scored the ball with a layup, and the Celtics suddenly gained a nine-point lead.
This point difference finally made the Bulls players who had been insisting on fighting feel tired. Young means infinite possibilities, but young also means that they are not stable, when they are in the next attack, fast and infinitely close to the frizz, their head coach can only shout in vain on the sidelines: "Rhythm, steady, steady rhythm, don't forget our tactics"! But it couldn't help the team to play this offense.
Perkins, the most burly man on the court, protected the backcourt rebound this time, and after the Celtics launched a counterattack, Shi Lei responded in the high post and assisted Ray. Allen hit a mid-range shot to extend the margin to 11 points in one fell swoop.
The young Bulls finally couldn't bear the pressure of the falling game, and after their head coach called a timeout, the Celtics extended the deficit by 16 points before the end of the third quarter.
The home fans finally watched the game with confidence, because many people knew that the Bulls had no hope of turning the tables, and their breathless state of the game had fully explained everything.
However, for the Bulls, they are also the winners of this game, because their young core Rose, in this game, cut down 36 points and 11 assists super statistics! It also allowed him to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the player with the most explosive stats in the first playoff game of his first season.
Okay, that's actually a pretty fucked-up record, but isn't that something to be thankful for?
In the end, the Celtics won the game in Garnett's absence, retaining a valuable home-court advantage that they had to fight hard for in the regular season, and barely got off to a good start on their way to the playoffs.
The rest of the teams didn't drop the chain in their first playoff game, and the game basically followed the media's previous analysis.
In the game between the Cavaliers and the Pistons held on the same day as the Celtics, LeBron James, the "little emperor", played well, shooting 13 of 20 from the field, scoring 38 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists for the Cavaliers, leading the Cavaliers to a 102-84 victory over the Pistons.
The Lakers, the Celtics' old rivals, also tried their luck on their home court and easily defeated the Jazz.
The Atlanta Hawks, who caused a lot of trouble for the Celtics in the playoffs last season, were even sharper, and their opponent Heat, who defended the whole game, scored only 64 points, setting a record for the lowest points scored in the playoffs this season.
However, none of the above is the hot topic of media coverage after the first round.
The Magic have only made it past the first round of the playoffs once in nearly 13 years, and they have high hopes for the playoffs this year. With Celtics big man Kevin Garnett out in absence, the Magic are confident and have a good chance of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals. Howard and head coach Stan Van Gundy are both confident. "If we can't get deep enough into the playoffs, then he and I are the most likely to get fired." Van Gundy even joked.
However, the game was far from as easy as expected, and in the game a day later than the Celtics, the Magic were stubbornly sniped by the 76ers. Although Howard scored 12 points in the first quarter, they did not take the lead and instead fell behind 25-27.
Although in the second and third quarters of the game, the Magic successfully played the momentum of their own strong team, and in the five minutes after the middle of the third quarter, the 76ers did not shoot a single shot, but they still did not have the last laugh!
At the end of the third quarter, after the 76ers were separated by the Magic 79-61, the fourth quarter completed a big reversal, Iguodala hit the winning shot, scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and helped the 76ers 100-98 tactical Magic to win the first playoff game.
