Pierce hits 4 singles in a row!

Pierce, who has entered his prime, it is difficult to say who is stronger than Rahim in terms of comprehensive strength, Rahim's ability value of 91 is higher than Pierce, but Rahim's offense is not as strong as Pierce, because his defensive role is greater, Pierce is too comprehensive, three-point, back play, and mid-range shooting are stable and varied.

If Raheem defends Pierce, Pierce will certainly not play so easily, but Raheem still has to save his strength and wait for Antoine Walker, there are two All-Star level frontcourt players, and the Celtics, although their record is not very high, is very much a headache for opponents.

Pierce received the ball again, this time Liu Mang couldn't help it, and directly let go of Joe Johnson to come over to wrap up, Pierce is very sensitive to defense, and his first reaction is to find a teammate who is empty...... Forget it, passing it to that rookie is not as good as having a chance of playing alone.

Pierce turned from a right turn with his dominant hand to a left turn, stuck Newbell in his right shoulder, and at the same time got rid of Liu Mang, who had just come from the right side, threw a step inside the free throw line, and hit again!

Score 10 points in a row!

The Eagles didn't have the upper hand!

At this time, the Hawks saw clearly one point, that is, Pierce may be better than Antoine Walker regardless of whether he is attacking outside or inside! Scored 10 points in less than 3 minutes, and Pierce was really better than Antoine Walker in all aspects except for rebounding!

As a point guard, it's important to judge how to play in the current situation.

Pierce is the second scorer in the league at this stage, and he is still quite efficient, using Rahim to defend against lack of physical strength, and using Newbell to defend even if he can't stop it.

Since you can't prevent it, it's better to just ignore it!

Let's attack!

……

……

One thing, often not to solve him is a headache, but to think about how to solve this matter to have a headache, when there is a situation that really can't be solved, it is better to ignore it.

In the second quarter, the situation became that the Hawks kept picking up, and then it turned into a situation where Pierce played slowly.

It's no wonder that Pierce didn't ask for the ball when he ran and played in the first quarter, that's not his style, no matter how the Hawks counterattacked, he came over and played the way the old man played.

If you can't prevent it, you can rely on attack! Both teams have the same idea.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Hawks replaced Raheem with Chris Crawford to continue running, and the Celtics replaced Pierce with Kenny Anderson and Walter McCarty, tall forwards who can shoot three-point shots.

At halftime, the Hawks led the Celtics by 6 points, 71-64!

71 points in the half, a new high for the Hawks in 15 years!

The last time the Hawks scored 70+ points in the half, it was when the pace was ridiculously fast in the 80s, but I didn't expect to score a new high with an Eastern team in more than ten years!

At halftime, Coach Kruger said the most, "You shot well and decisively", "You rebounded well", "You attacked well", and "The second offense was good......

In fact, at halftime, if it is a scorching and well-played game, unless it is a coach like Popovich and Mike Brown who has more than 300 on-the-spot tactics in the tactical book or a tactical book, most coaches are more encouraging or scolding the players at halftime, and continue to mobilize or mobilize the enthusiasm of the players, in different ways.

In a situation like this, where the offensive end has been fully played, and the defensive end can't be prevented and can't be defended, but the situation is dominant, so that the coach emphasizes the part that has not been done well, they are more willing to continue to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players, so as not to improve the bad aspects, and the good aspects are delayed.

The Hawks players are playing very high, the data is rising very fast, very fast, quite fast, Raheem scored 25 points in the half, Liu Mang got 7 points and 2 assists, Jason Terry also scored 11 points, Ratliff and Muhammad, Newbell scored 27 points in the half, and the offensive rebounds received a lot.

On the Celtics side, Antoine Walker and Pierce both scored 20+, scoring 45 points in the half, the power of the twin stars is really strong, and they are so strong in a single split, but unfortunately they can't be put together.

After the start of the second half, the Hawks re-switched to four other starters except for Jacqui Vaughan, and it was time to start chiseling inside with Raheem.

In the second quarter, Raheem was basically resting, and now he has enough physical fitness, and in the third quarter, he hit a foul on the inside, made two free throws, stretched the difference to 8 points, and began to continue the showdown with Antoine Walker.

Antoine Walker seemed to have been chiseling for so long in the first quarter, resting for half an hour before relieving himself, feeling too tired from chiseling, and then began to throw ......

The nightmare of the Celtics began, two two-forward combinations that can obviously be inside and out, can open up space and a single strategy, but no matter how many years can not be run together, it will never have the effect of one plus one equals two, and finally Antoine Walker was sold by the Celtics at the peak of twenty-seven or eighteen, isn't there a reason, the two were on the field at the same time, and when Antoine Walker held the ball, the strength of the Celtics became weaker.

In the first quarter, the Celtics were able to hold on, relying on Antoine Walker still holding that breath to go head-to-head with Rahim, and then after resting for so long, that breath could no longer be raised, and I felt too tired, and after starting to pitch, the Celtics became a normal mode again.

Antoine Walker threw iron and dug holes, and when he was tired of throwing, Pierce had the ball and played with Kenny Anderson, Rodney Rodgers and others to chase points.

Of course, the Celtics have these players, and their overall strength is not bad, at least at the level of the 76ers and the Raptors, or even better, when facing less strong opponents, relying on Pierce's ability to average points per game that is now second in the league, driving his teammates, Antoine Walker is an all-star level after all, and standing there is a threat to opponents, and it is not difficult for them to keep the first place in the division.

But the Hawks are also one of the top three teams in the East, and it's not for the Celtics to chase points if they want to.

By the end of the third quarter, the Hawks had stretched the deficit to 20 points and led the Celtics by 20 points at 97-77 heading into the final quarter.

……

The turning point was a 20-point lead in the third quarter.

After the start of the final quarter of the game, the Hawks wanted to loosen up a little, but they didn't expect Pierce's side to become fierce again after Antoine Walker went off the court, as if he had broken free from the cage of bondage, and scored a few goals in a row to narrow the gap to 15!

Pierce still refuses to admit defeat! Although from the beginning the promotion point of this game was only the matchup between Raheem and Antoine Walker, in terms of victory or defeat, probably not many fans who have watched other Celtic games except Celtics fans will think that this team with Antoine Walker averaging more than 20 shots per game and scoring more than 20 points per game has a chance to win against the strong Hawks.

By the end of the third quarter, the rest of the Celtics were on the verge of giving up, and for them, playing the Hawks didn't make much difference from playing the strongest teams. But Pierce said no! He won't throw in the towel!

Although the Hawks built a defensive bucket, Pierce still relied on his individual ability to force the score.

Pierce's hands were really hot today, scoring a little more than 30 points in the first three quarters, and shooting 13-of-17 from the field!

The main thing is that there is no point that can match Pierce on the top position!

Raheem wants to defend Antoine Walker, or he has to rest and rest, the others have already been beaten several times, Chris Crawford and DeMar Johnson have suffered serious losses, Newbell and Muhammad can't keep up with the pace at all, this has changed several people defense, and it is Liu Mang's turn to defend Pierce who plays big forward!

When it came to the Celtics offense again, Pierce received the ball to meet Liu Mang's defense, ignoring Liu Mang's hand that was about to be inserted into the eye, and decisively hit a three-point jumper!

There are only eleven points left in the difference!

After the start of the final quarter, Pierce started the crazy scoring mode, the Hawks played very easily before, and now they are all lax, both offensive and defensive are very lax, they are all 20 points ahead, and the other party does not look like they can resist, it is really difficult to compact, and after Antoine Walker went down on the Celtics side, all the Celtics players led by Pierce played with their lives, and the rhythm of the two teams was completely reversed for a while!

If a team scores 70 or 80 points in the first half and nearly 100 points in the third quarter, the final score may not be very high, for example, the Warriors after 2016 often scored 80 points in the first half and broke 100 in the third quarter, and the result was 120 points in the whole game.

This situation is normal, because the front is too smooth, and the back score is taken for granted to play according to the rhythm of the front, and the opponent plays harder and tighter, and it is not so easy for the side with a big score to score later.

Coach Kruger hurriedly called a timeout.

was chased by Lian for nearly ten points! Coach Krueger was angry: "Press up and defend!" Is it enough to defend with just your eyes? Look at Ace! Look how hard he cares! If you bastards are attacking and standing like a stake like this, and the defense is still staring at it, sit on the bench for me! ”

Liu Mang said that his buddy really didn't want to defend against Pierce, but he didn't know what, the defensive task suddenly fell on him! The height alone is more than ten centimeters shorter, how to prevent it?

"Sharif, you go on the court to replace Chris, don't worry about that dancer, protect the rebound, just guard it!" Coach Kruger finally calmed down a little and let Raheem come on the court to protect the rebound, and at the same time make up for Pierce's breakthrough, rather than worrying about Antoine Walker coming up again to stir up the wind and rain, worried that if Antoine Walker is sober again and goes to play inside, it is better to keep the point difference and not give the opponent a chance.

After thinking about it for a while, Coach Kruger asked Jason Terry to replace Emmanuor, hoping to improve his shooting, although Jason Terry played badly with Kenny Anderson and Eric Strickland today, and many times the ball could not be received, but the shooting was still accurate, and he had already scored 15 points, and he only got one shot for the three-point shot, but he was shot, and the overall shooting rate was very good, as long as he could score one or two balls to make the other party feel a little nervous, it was really iron panic now, After the start of the fourth quarter, I couldn't shoot at all!

After the start of the fourth quarter, it is really said that Pierce led the team to break down the Hawks' defense by attacking and continuously chasing points, it is better to say that the Hawks' own offense suddenly suddenly became dumb, otherwise it is like the second quarter, no one is afraid of anyone.

The reason is that the offense can't be shot, so there will be this situation, and if you can't prevent it, you have to play well to attack, so Coach Kruger replaced Jason Terry, who has not had much of a good shooting opportunity today, and wants to rely on the offensive firepower of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Raheem to continue the score.

But the reality is a pig-killing knife, Jason Terry disappointed Coach Kruger, today he shot less, scored by free throws and counterattack layups, shot once on three-pointers, his hand was cold early, and he took the ball on the court as he was told, and smashed the ball directly into the neck of the basket.

With the sighs of the audience, Coach Kruger directly covered his face and turned his head to the other side, he really couldn't bear to look at it, is this still called a three-point shooter? That's!

It is estimated that only the playoffs of a player wearing the No. 8 jersey can be compared with this ball in terms of joy.

The sound of sighs and sighs from the fans at the scene has been continuous in the last few minutes, and no one can imagine how the situation has changed abruptly? Why is this all of a sudden?

Isn't it 20 points ahead? Why does it seem that his side is anxious, and the opponent plays so decisively and scores continuously?

Fortunately, the Hawks had Raheem on their side, outmaneuvering Eric Williams in the battle for the rebound and taking the rebound.

Raheem, who won the rebound, wants to pull up a dunk to boost his morale! However, he felt quite heavy on his body, and his shoulders seemed to be tied by two iron chains, and Eric Williams hung directly on Rahim!

The point is that the referee didn't blow it! Raheem roared, as if the referee hadn't heard.

Who made this the game of the first few years of the century!

Rahim, who failed to dunk the ball, has been raised, and the force in his hands and feet cannot be used, and the ball is out of his hands and smashed directly on the rebound!

This ball is even funnier than the three points just now, he didn't even rub the basket, and flew directly to the other side of the rebound, Rahim couldn't even grab a rebound to make up for it.

The fans at the scene continued to sigh and sigh, and the Georgia fans in front of the TV felt that the Hawks had smeared something dirty before the start of the fourth quarter, how could it be this virtue? Why is this all of a sudden?

Only California fans laughed straight up, Jason Terry's three-pointer, Raheem's dunk became free, if a guy with more than 300 pounds in Los Angeles wanted to do a basketball show at this time, it is estimated that Noh blossomed, this material is not bad!

The rest of the Eagles were just about to return to defense, and none of the three inside lines in the direction of the ball flew could grab any of them, suddenly! A swishing figure appears!

Liu Mang can't play for the first time when he leads by a big score, he doesn't know how to solve it, he has no experience, this kind of scoring drought after leading by 20 points really can't be solved, so he can only be more positive!

Although positivity may not always bring gains, if you are not positive, you will definitely not be rewarded!

No, Liu Mang slipped to the other side of the basket of Raheem and Eric Williams, jumped up and pushed the ball in the air......

Two point hit!

Relay in the air! Liu Mang's first air relay in his life!

After Raheem grabbed the first offensive rebound, everyone's attention must have been on him, and Eric Williams hung directly on Raheem with his body, originally wanted to foul, but he didn't expect the referee to blow it, and it became a good defense, at this time Liu Mang actively rushed in to make up for it!

The fans at the scene can finally cheer a little, and sure enough, they are still the rookies!

But the technical desk is very distressed, this ball is a rebounding second offense that misses a shot? Or is it an assist?
