The Death Five is a common tactic used by Wang Tomorrow last season, and after the introduction of Gasol this season, it is rare, but many players on the bench actually meet his requirements for the Death Five.

When fighting as a substitute, this formation is very powerful.

It is based on Millsap's rebounding and possession advancement, with a focus on transition offense, with every player running the court, interspersed with plenty of open cuts, screens and plays.

After Louis Williams also hit a three-pointer, Rivers couldn't sit still.

Garnett was replaced in the 9th minute of the second quarter.

In the playoffs, the Big Three will play more than 40 minutes, with a maximum of 4 minutes off in each half.

As soon as Garnett came on, the Celtics immediately played two wonderful counterattacks.

Wang Tomorrow thought about it for a while, and replaced Durham Potter with Willy Green.

Wang Tomorrow's lineup is very strong, several players are swing people in the position, and after the center came, Paul Millsap returned to the power forward position.

"You can't let Paul Millsap defend Kevin Gane directly."

In the defensive setting of Kevin Garnett, Wang prepared two players tomorrow, one is Pau Gasol, and the other is Durham Porter, both of whom can match Garnett's height and arm span, and the rest are like Paul Millsap who is 2.03 meters, and it is a little more difficult to defend Garnett.

At this time, it is time for rotation.

After Garnett came on the court, he took the initiative to ask for the ball and take responsibility for the offense.

Facing Dyreham Porter, after playing a low-post single, he suddenly turned and cut inside, and then flicked in the air, shaking Millsap and Damham Porter.

After the time difference is over, then get up under the basket and hit the basket.

"It's in again, this Garnett is so powerful!"

The audience at the scene also exclaimed, Kevin Garnett showed super individual ability, and was a little more consistent than Ray Allen and Pierce on the outside.

In fact, Kevin Garnett is averaging 18.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this season while shooting a career-high 53.9 percent from the field, which is excellent for an interior player with a lot of mid-range shooting.

The 76ers attacked from the wing, with Iguodala holding the ball and Millsap blocking and pick-and-roll.

Millsap received the ball and broke through, facing James Posey, who was defending him, who had an advantage in terms of strength, tonnage and speed, and soon rushed inside like a bull and played the same as LeBron James.

Twisting his waist, he shot out with his feet upside down.

"Bang!"

Hit the board into the frame.

Celtic attack.

Garnett blocked guard House, and the same high block, the Celtics used a different offensive style.

House's cut after holding the ball is mainly based on the straight line from the middle, and Garnett, who keeps up, is a bigger threat, and the 76ers tighten their defense.

House couldn't see anyone in all directions, but he rushed to the baseline, and suddenly there was a flash of inspiration, a hook-like baseline pass, to James Posey, who played the open space on the wing.

Posey received the ball, only the basket was left in his eyes, and he jumped straight out.

But the moment he made a move, a figure pounced from the right side.

"Smack!"

With a slap, Posey's shot was fanned straight out of the court.

There was a round of applause.

It's Millsap!

Paul Millsap has the same lateral movement ability as Garnett, coming and going from shrinking into the box to finally returning to the perimeter.

"Stay focused!"

Rivers roared again, attracting frequent attention.

Doug Rivers is the head coach of the "roaring stream" in the league, as long as he stands on the court, less than a quarter of the game, he must be more excited than the fans, and when he sees the referee has a slightly inappropriate decision, or he thinks that the judgment is biased, he immediately yells loudly and expresses his dissatisfaction.

And Wang Mingming is another style, he is a rare "calm stream" head coach in the league, he always looks confident, whether he is pretending to be or not, but the players are also encouraged when they see the head coach so confident.

The coaching styles of the two are completely different, and the comparison of this round of the series immediately sparked heated discussions.

Hubby Brown admired Wang Mingming even more, and he said with a smile,

"This young man is amazing, his mentality, his on-the-spot adaptability, and his broad vision and thinking are rare among coaches in the league today. If the 76ers are a group of tigers and wolves, then Wang Mingming is the one who really brings their strength together, and he has this ability. ”

Rondo saw Rivers yelling again, and muttered to himself, really disapproving of this coach's coaching style.

But he doesn't dare to perform, he is now just an ordinary starter for the Celtics, the little brother under the Big Three, and he has no status in the team, if he really doesn't deal with the coach, he will definitely be the miserable person.

Although the 76ers' bench strength is significantly higher than that of the Celtics, in the second quarter, with the Celtics leading the team with superstars, they did not make much of a shockwave.

The difference between the two teams narrowed to within 3 points, and soon the lead was alternated, and it became a scorching situation.

At halftime, the 76ers led the Celtics by one point, 45-44.

Although there was no super scoring tide, the confrontation between the two teams and the fighting spirit of each ball still interfered with the atmosphere of the entire stadium, and the fans deeply felt the different experience brought by the first game of this round of the series.

Just like last year's game against the Detroit Pistons, it's a close matchup like this, and it's addictive.

The real clash was in the third quarter, the two teams were red-eyed, and Pierce also opened the quarter, scoring 8 points in a row, and the Celtics tied the 76ers 65-65.

During the rotation at the end of the third quarter, the 76ers' bench began to wield.

Millsap's mid-range shot, Louis Williams' breakaway foul, and young bench players penetrated the Celtics and quickly built a six- to eight-point lead over the time of the rotation.

The point is that during this time, Pierce is dumb again, and there is nothing he can do.

The Celtics made another tweak, bringing on Garnett and Ray Allen.

Stabilize the situation with a three-pointer from Ray Allen.

The Celtic veterans started the game in good shape, playing to the end, and after more than 40 minutes of confrontation, there was a faint tiredness.

This is the advantage that Wang hopes to see tomorrow, and the 76ers take advantage of this wave of momentum to suppress the Celtics on the court for the first time.

Then in the last 3rd minute of the battle, the Celtics still failed to set off a counterattack, although the difference in points was not large, only about 5 points, it seemed that there was still hope of catching it back, but Wang Ming knew in his heart that the game was stable.
