In the final four minutes of the first quarter, the Celtics went into the rotation. Wild Swingman Marquis. Daniels played, and Wayne, who had played well with the Rockets, was on the court. Weaver replaces Nate. Robinson. Thunder. Allen remained on the court because the Celtics' No. 19 rookie selected this season, Avery Avery Avenile. Bradley is not yet useful.

Injuries to Rondo and others have left Rivers with a bit of a stretch to employ people. Thunder. Allen has no problem playing a little more because he is one of the team's top names. But considering Ray. Aaron is no longer young, and it is not a good idea to keep him playing like this.

And the Pacers, who have just come out of the haze of injury, don't have so many troubles, Henson replaced Hinrich, Danny. Green, Paul. George and McRoberts, as always, left Granger on the court first.

Although he also retained a starter, everyone knows that Granger's current fitness status is comparable to that of Ray. Aaron is so much better. After all, just now Granger didn't take on too much pressure, and Ray. Allen was under the watchful eye of Matthews, but he was running wild for the whole game, looking for opportunities.

"The game is back, Doug. Coach Rivers wants Ray. Allen can lead the team to narrow the gap as much as possible for the rest of the game. However, the defense of the Pacers' second team is not bad at all. "Kenny. Smith didn't even dare to say that the Celtics wanted to tie the score because of Paul. George, Danny. The perimeter defensive lineup of Green and Hinrich is still airtight.

All three have good single defense capabilities, and they can also adapt to the tactics of infinite defense changes. Although the Pacers play a fast-paced offense, Henson is very focused on the team's defensive construction.

Thunder. Allen on George, George's height of 2.06 meters and slender arms, let Ray. Aaron instantly felt extremely tired. I finally got rid of Matthews, the tough gentleman who didn't know what it was to save energy, and now how did I run into such a slender monster again.

Subsequently, Ray. Allen began to play off-ball screens with his teammates in accordance with tactics, trying to get opportunities by running off the ball.

"Big Baby" Glenn. Davis's cover allowed George, who was still slightly emaciated, to be blocked. Ke Lei. Aaron didn't get space because of this, because Daniel. Granger immediately pounced and continued to defend.

Seeing that the tactics did not run out, Weaver simply held the ball directly and hit the basket. When he was on the Rockets before, that's how he made a name for himself.

Weaver had already shown people the potential, but last season wasted a precious year in the Europa League. Sometimes, a year is enough to change a lot of things. For example, turning a rising star into mediocrity.

Weaver's impact on the basket resulted in a direct cross-bridge under McRoberts' tough interference.

George, who is 2.06 meters tall, laughed at the rebounds, and of course, the most terrifying thing was that after George grabbed the rebounds, he was able to directly push and launch an attack, even faster than Granger.

Strong forward guard swingman Marquis. Daniels has no choice but to foul early, and if he doesn't, George will be faced with an empty basket that he can ravage.

The rotation time had just begun, and the Celtics were hit in the head. Instead of narrowing the gap, they were stretched to 14 points by George's two free throws.

At this point, the live camera gave Rivers and Henson a close-up, respectively. I saw Henson wandering around with his legs crossed and his assistant Vogel talking something. And Doug. Rivers, the spirited champion coach, was shouting from the sidelines at the top of his duck voice.

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Paul. Pierce came back to replace Ray. Aaron, Marquis. Daniels was pushed to the second position. Perhaps it was a two-minute break that relieved Pierce, and he came on the court and scored back-to-back singles on Green's head, which allowed the Celtics to end the first quarter by seven points.

Although the margin has been narrowed, no one will feel that the Greenshirts are safe. After all, in the first quarter of the game, they can be said to be completely pressed and beaten by the Pacers!

As the league's most famous "chicken soup coach," Rivers pulled his throat during the break to boost morale. His words may boost the morale of the Celtics players, but fitness is not something you can add in a sentence or two.

On the Pacers' side, Henson picked up the tactics board and first said to the players: "Keep me up the pace!" ”

When the Boston Celtics' giants have a good touch this season, they are almost unstoppable. Well, that sounds like nonsense. But in reality, the Celtics are attacking from a simple, slow-paced position, which has significantly improved the scoring efficiency of the aging Big Three without draining the players' physical strength.

Just Pierce came back from a break and sat down to hit Danny. Green's balls are the perfect proof of this.

So, all Henson has to do is keep the old Celtic man out of their comfortable pace. He's going to fight fast, forcing the old guys to run and fight him. Judging from the results of the first quarter of the game, this worked well, whether it was O'Neal and Garnett's two interior lines, or Pierce and Ray. Allen's two outside scorers will affect their scoring efficiency due to the huge consumption of physical energy.

On the defensive end, Henson asked everyone to take the initiative to find physical confrontation and squeeze out the last trace of physical strength of the old Green Army!

"Stick it all up for me, defend like a man! On the offensive end, accelerate the pace and pass the ball to the rhythm, but don't rush to shoot and get the chance to shoot again! ”

Unlike Rivers, who frantically poured chicken soup, Henson implemented a lot of tactical ideas for his players. He wanted to see how long Rivers could drag.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Ray. Allen's three-pointer narrowed the gap to just four points. Charles. Barkley raised his arms and cheered from the commentary podium: "Champion teams never give up easily!" ”

But soon, the Pacers' quick offense broke down the Celtics' defense. "Big Shark" is almost impossible to guard against now, he's too bulky. So Holiday used his breakthrough to win Horford an easy three-point shot.

For an opportunity that was like shooting drill, Horford naturally didn't miss it. The basketball went through the net, reminding Rivers that the inside behemoth had long since lost its might.

Garnett then prepared to go back to Granger near the three-second zone. But Henson didn't give KG this chance, and the "Wolf King" had just received the ball when Horford's bag went up.

Before Garnett could distribute the ball to O'Neal under the basket, Granger took advantage of the chaos to steal the basketball from KG's hands.

In the process of snatching the ball, the two sides will inevitably have physical contact. Coupled with the fact that the basketball was robbed alive, Garnett pushed Horford very "toughly".

The scene immediately became chaotic, and boos erupted. Stephenson stood up excitedly, as if he had finally found an opportunity to perform. However, he was glared back to the bench by Henson with a fierce look.

As for the court, Henson believes there will be no mess because Horford's kid is so good-tempered that he won't have any conflict with Garnett. Garnett will only lose himself by doing so.

After the referee studied the footage, it was decided to give Garnett a technical foul. Henson clapped incessantly off the court and deliberately slapped loudly to stimulate the Celtics' nerves.

Rivers was still complaining to the referees on the sidelines, while the Pacers had already scored a point on Holiday with solid free throws. It seems that the Green Shirts are already burning their eyebrows.

But it's okay, Ray. Allen's second three-pointer helped the Celtics stabilize the situation again. Henson couldn't help but admire that Ray. Aaron is one of the greatest goalscorers in the world. Even in difficult situations, he was still able to play crucially.

But Henson also knows that Ray. The reason why Allen is so comfortable is also because Matthews's kid is a little "gentle" on the defensive end.

In the fifth minute of the second quarter, O'Neal's foul on Holiday sent the game to a dead-ball situation. After Holiday hit the first free throw, Stephenson stepped on and replaced Matthews.

Stephen stands on Ray. By Aaron's side, Aaron didn't pay attention to this first-year rookie. However, the "self-cooked" Stephenson got together with Ray. Aaron's side said something that made the veteran shooter frown: "Your crosshairs are confiscated!" ”

Thunder. Aaron gritted his teeth, it wasn't that he hadn't heard of Stephenson's "prestige", so he ignored this little rascal. But that doesn't mean Ray. Aaron is not angry, as a great shooter, he was actually provoked by a rookie! He swore he was going to shoot this idiot so much that he didn't even know the!

Maybe a few years ago, Ray. Aaron is really able to teach rookies what he wants. But when Stephenson used his rough body to fight to go and Ray. Aaron was a child when Ray. Aaron instantly felt that he was a little powerless.

When Ray. By the time Aaron got out of position from Stephenson's aggressive and tough, even somewhat rough pressing, his breath was already a little messy. Received Nate. Robinson's pass, Ray. Aaron pulls up and throws! However, Stephenson, who had just been clearly blocked by Garnett, pounced in time and seriously interfered with Ray. Allen's shot.

Under the double difficulty of physical fitness and severe interference, Ray. Aaron's magic is no more, and the basketball knocks out of the frame!

"Damn it!" Thunder. Aaron didn't have time to complain, and frantically retreated before his breathing had calmed down. Because the Pacers' rapid offense has already made the Celtics suffer a lot, and they have to run after the Pacers' young people. In other words, the pace of the game has fallen into Henson's grasp, and the Celtics can't be fast!

The Pacers, who lead the way on the track, are not what the aging Celtics can run.

Holiday made a quick half-time drive before handing the ball to Stephenson, who had run off the ball to the bottom right corner. In Henson's tactics, Stephenson was originally just a mid-point, and his next move should be to pass the ball to Granger, who cut in the middle.

However, Stephenson, who was playing excitedly, took the ball straight after receiving it! Finson's shot so decisively that it made Ray. Aaron was a little caught off guard, and the interference was half a beat slower.

But Stephenson's poor shooting consistency is not up to Henson's standards. Therefore, seeing Stephenson's sudden move, Henson immediately yelled: "No...... Don't ......"

But the basketball crossed a perfect arc and fell straight to the net, and Stephenson hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner! As he said, this guy snatched Ray. Aaron's crosshairs!

And Henson, who was off the field, also changed his tone: "Don't vote...... What a ball! Cast beautifully! ”

Stephenson rushed to Thunder after the goal. Aaron poked out his tongue exaggeratedly, and Ray. Aaron clenched his fists, he really wanted to punch this bastard's head open!

But there is one fact that cannot be changed is that Stephenson's offense and defense allowed the Celtics to once again trail the Pacers by a double-digit difference!

Looking at the players who were rejuvenated and beating the Celtics too much, Henson wanted to put his arm around Angeli and tell her that she was the smartest woman in the world.

Descent and anger have wrapped the Celtics in their lives, which usually means that they are getting closer to defeat.
