Chapter 107: Great Victory and Great Turmoil
Even Milwaukee die-hards sitting in the audience could hear Rivers speak during this third pause, the tone so impassioned and the content so inspiring.
It shows how impatient this guy is.
Unfortunately, when he returned to the court after a timeout, Michael Reed extended the score to 14 points with a three-pointer, which directly destroyed Rivers' last bit of hard work.
In the final minute of the second quarter, he replaced the Celtics' Big Three, but the Bucks still came together to extend the margin to 18 points before halftime.
58-40, this is the final score of the two teams in the first half, and the difference is about to run for 20 points.
"Every one, get dry, enjoy this moment!"
The DJ turned up the volume of the music, the sexy and hot bucks cheerleading beauties began to take the stage, and the scene suddenly turned into a restless nightclub dance floor at midnight, and everyone was venting their inner excitement.
The Celtics, who had the best record in the league, did this in the first half, and tonight was too good for the Milwaukee audience!
***
Back on the court in the second half, the Celtics didn't give up, they still started as much as possible, and it's right to think about it, the first place in the East lost the game by nearly 20 points, which is a bit shabby, so Rivers' goal now is not to win, but to narrow the difference as much as possible.
There is no way, one drum is like a tiger, and then it declines, and three times it is exhausted, they have counterattacked twice in a row and failed to recover the point difference, at this time, compared to the idea of counterattack, all the Celtics are thinking about the more practical idea of chasing points and closing the score.
After all, this is just an ordinary regular season game, and if it really hurts to chase points and affects Boston's big plan to return to glory, it will be worth the loss.
Angie had to skin him.
But sometimes that's it, as soon as people go to memorize words, drink cold water and stuff their teeth, the momentum of the Celtics is good, chasing seven or eight points in a row, seeing that the score difference is about to return to single digits, the Celtics Big Three suddenly feel cold into ice, and Ray Allen has a big empty three-point miss, he now sees Yi Jianlian grinning and rushing up, his hand shakes unconsciously, and the sequelae brought to him by grabbing the hat cannot be eliminated in dozens of minutes.
The Bucks took advantage of this time to reopen the margin to more than 16 points, and the Celtics' third comeback ended in failure.
Rivers was thinking about fighting until the middle of the fourth quarter and how much he could recover, but in this situation, he waved his hand to take all the big three, replaced them with substitutes, and simply gave up the game early.
Sad!
Sad!
How can I face the media after the game!
These guys are going to ask questions about the Bucks and that damn Chinese rookie!
What should I say?
Rivers was full of sadness, he was already an old face, and he seemed to be a teenager in an instant, and if he looked closely, the sideburns on both sides were about to grow gray hair.
It's sad for him!
But there's more to come.
Obviously, he has withdrawn the main team, and Yi Jianlian and Michael Reed of the opposite Bucks are still frantically impacting the Celtics' defensive formation on the court, beating the Celtics' bench to pieces.
"This, this damn ......"
Rivers wanted to scold something, but when he thought that this was someone's home field, he coaxed again.
Suddenly, he met his eyes with Yi Jianlian and Michael Reed.
Suddenly, he remembered the two eyes that made the back of his head cold at the All-Star Game.
Retribution... Is it?
***
"They are very disrespectful to us, we have obviously replaced the main players, and they still keep Michael and Yi on the field, which is disrespectful to us!"
"No, it's respect that we're going to keep Yi and Michael Reed on the court, they're No. 1 in the East, they're a strong contender for this year's title, and for them, a regular season win or loss won't affect them much, but we're only seventh in the East and we have to make sure we win every game to make the playoffs!"
"Thirty points is not guaranteed? That's disrespecting us! ”
"Yi's All-Star starter didn't get anyone's respect either, and Michael re-entered the All-Star bench after three years and was the last time in the East, did we have any complaints?"
"I'm the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star, so I naturally have the right to put different players on the court according to the situation!"
"OK, I'm sorry, I'm the head coach of the Bucks, and I have the right to decide who plays on the court!"
The Bucks ended the game with a 30-point victory, and the aggrieved Rivers wanted to make a fuss through the media, but what he didn't expect was that Xiao K didn't give up half a step at all this time, and scolded him in the air.
"I don't need to have any opinion on this matter, no matter how many points I win against the Celtics this time, it can't stop me from still wanting to blow them up again!"
No way, this team is how I hate it!
Whether it's the group of fans who think I'm not qualified to start as an All-Star Eastern Conference power forward, or the disgusting coach of Rivers, or the general manager Ange who said I can't do it in front of all the media.
No way?
Well?
I can't?
Well?
You go and ask...... Forget it, don't get angry, don't get angry!
"Anyway, I won't apologize, if one day they can beat me so badly, I will admit it!"
Yi Jianlian's attitude is tougher than that of Xiao K.
"What? Apologize? When I was on the cold bench on the All-Star bench, why didn't anyone cry out for me? I refuse to apologize and refuse to answer similar questions again, either this time or next time! Michael Reed was the same, his tone wasn't much better.
The attitude of these three guys in Milwaukee has made Boston Celtics fans quit:
"We'll definitely give you a taste of the same next time!"
"It's just a regular season, what's the big deal!"
"It's rude, Milwaukee, I don't have a good idea of that place, sure enough......"
One by one, they were so angry that they even ran out, but no matter how angry they were, this is the last matchup between the Celtics and the Bucks in the regular season this season, if you want to take revenge, I'm afraid you will have to wait until next season.
Or, the playoffs are also possible.
The Celtics are now in first place in the East and the Bucks are seventh in the East, and if one of them drops one place, those two teams will surely meet in the first round of the playoffs.
It's just that the Celtics definitely can't fall to the second, not to mention that the number of wins with the second-place Pistons is a bit too much, and it is more difficult to achieve, if it really falls to the second position, then this year's championship will be hanging.
Since they can't fall, they can only pray every day that the eighth place will overtake the Bucks!
Who's in eighth place?
Oh, the Eagles!
"Come on Eagles, come on Eagles|!"
Boston suddenly has an extra group of Eagles fans.
"Al, what do you think about the Bucks' previous big win over the Celtics without a main substitution?"
"I don't know much about the whole thing, but I think competitive sports, winning and losing, and saying so much when you lose, it's easy for people to feel that they can't afford to lose!"
OMG!
Celtics fans.
