In the fourth quarter of the game, the situation on the Celtics' side deteriorated further.

Not only Pierce and Garnett, but Rondo and Ray. Aaron has played too much time, and his physical fitness has begun to be a little unable to keep up.

Originally, the Wizards were a team that focused on fast offense and defense, and in the last game, the Celtics relied on strict defense, which was able to curb the offensive rhythm of the Wizards, and also allowed the physical consumption of the Big Three to be buffered to a certain extent.

But this game, Paul. George's outburst tore apart the Celtics' defense and made it impossible for the opponent to suppress the Wizards' offensive rhythm.

Throughout the fourth quarter of the game, the two sides scored 33 and 22 points respectively, the Wizards scored 31 points, and the Celtics scored 22 points.

At the end of the game, the Wizards outscored their opponents by 18 points, 109-91.

George lived up to Wang's expectations, facing an All-Star player like Pierce, George shot 14-of-26 in the whole game, including 3 three-pointers, and scored a game-high 31 points on 54% shooting.

At the post-game press conference, Celtics' head coach Rivers also admitted with a heavy face that he had a huge hole in his tactical arrangement and completely ignored George's problems, which led to the collapse of the team's defensive system and ultimately lost the game.

Pierce, who scored 19 points on 44 percent shooting and 8-of-18 shooting from the field, was silent about George.

"It's the NBA, everybody has a feeling like Jordan is possessed, but you have to know that it's not their normal level, and they can't maintain that hot hand every game." That's what Pierce said when he was interviewed by reporters. 'Now we're in the playoffs, we have to play at least four or more games to decide the winner, there's still a lot of time to prove who is qualified to go on, at least for now, we have the advantage to win a game on the opponent's home turf and two days later, on our home turf I believe the aggregate will soon be 3-1...... Of course, 3 refers to us. ”

Pierce's self-confidence also happens to represent the general sentiment of Celtics fans.

The North Shore Gardens playoff home stadium is no ordinary home court, and as one of the league's most famous devils' home courts, the Green Army clearly has the advantage there.

And this lost game, although it exposed a lot of problems for the Celtics, such as the physical problems of the main team, the lack of bench lineups, etc...... But the problems on the Wizards' side are also obvious.

Even if George's outburst allowed the Wizards to win the game, Curry and Harden still didn't play as well as they should.

Curry shot 7-of-20 from the field and 2-of-9 from three-point range, barely scoring 20 points in the game including free throws.

Harden, on the other hand, shot 6 of 16, but because he made more foul free throws, he scored 18 points in the game.

This is still the result of George breaking out and tearing apart the Celtics' defense.

It's entirely conceivable that if George slips in the next game, will Curry and Harden be able to find their form under the Celtics' high-pressure defensive system?

At least the fans on the Celtics' side don't think it's likely.

To be honest, Wang Xiao also thinks it's unlikely.

At the end of the day, the players are still too young to match the Celtics' old fritters in terms of experience.

However, Wang Xiao does not think that George's form will decline in the next game.

Throughout the regular season, George has been accumulating, he has played against almost all the top forwards in the league, and has always been under the bonus of Wang Xiao's training skills.

Now is the time for him to accumulate and develop, how can he decline after just one game?

What's more, the Celtics paid a lot of money in order to limit the play of Curry and Harden, and they didn't have much experience to limit George at all, at most, they let Pierce get out of the defensive system and defend George alone.

In the next game, at the home of the Celtics, Wang Xiao is ready to further make tactical arrangements around George.

Don't you look down on George and think his outburst was just a flash in the pan? Then we'll see!

……

The third game between the two teams, which began on May 6, with a 1-1 scoreline, the Wizards visited the Celtics' home court, TD North Shore Garden Arena.

No one expected that the Celtics would lose the third game to the cheers of 18,000 fans in North Shore Gardens.

The score of the two sides was 89:87, and the Wizards only won by a narrow margin of 2 points, but no matter how big the difference was, a victory was a victory, and the Wizards took a big lead by 2:1 by winning this game.

No one would have thought that the Wizards would win this tough battle on the Celtics' home court.

It is not too much to describe this game as a tough game, which can be seen from the extremely close scores of the two teams, and the fact that the Wizards did not even score 90 points in the whole game.

In this game, the biggest contributor on the Wizards' side is still George.

After scoring 31 points in Game 2, George scored a game-high 28 points in Game 3 and hit a key shot in the final minute to help his team win.

And in this game, Pierce, who previously said that he could win and claimed to cut 30+ to beat George to the ground, only scored 16 points.

31 points, 28 points.

George's highlight-reel performances in two consecutive games surprised many people.

The little-known Paul of the regular season. George is actually so strong? When Curry, the popular candidate for MVP in the regular season, and Harden, the best sixth man, were both restricted, they could face Pierce so strongly!

On the same day, many sports newspapers reported George's performance at great length, and his limelight even overshadowed stars such as the Heat Big Three and the Western Lakers, Kobe Bryant.

"Ghost coach Wang Xiao's most failed draft? Paul. George used his performance to show everyone that he was no worse than anyone else. ”

"Wang Xiao's magical vision is not a problem, George's potential is amazing, and I am afraid that he will become a big killer in the future!"

"Amazement, how good is the vision of the Asian coach? So far, he has never missed, and if he gets it, he might get a whole team of All-Stars! ”

That's the way it is in the NBA, especially in the playoffs, when you get wins and statistics, everyone will praise you, and in the same way, if you play badly, then there will be people who will belittle you for nothing.

In this regard, Wang Xiao was very vigilant, he was a little worried that George would float up because of this, so he talked to him and knocked on it a little, after all, there is no shortage of players in the league who swelled immediately after becoming famous overnight and did not measure themselves.

However, in the next game, Wang Xiao still has to take George as the core of the team.

At the moment, the score of the two teams is tight at 2:1, and it is still early to end the game.
