It didn't take long for the Celtics head coach's roar to play a role at the start of the third quarter, and compared to the first half, the Celtics strengthened their protection for rebounds, even outside players, and they began to help the interior get stuck and compete for rebounds.

In addition, the Celtics began to strengthen their defense against Ji Liang, with Pierce as the main defense, others as the defense, and occasionally a package against him.

If it is an ordinary star, it is naturally quite uncomfortable for such a defense. But Ji Liang is obviously not among them, and with his vision and passing skills, unless his teammates have a bad hand, the Nets' offense is impossible to stop.

The Celtics head coach is not unclear, he is actually betting, betting on the feel of the Nets players.

It's a pity that although the feel of the Nets players is not very good, they are basically still on the level, especially the targets of Chi Liang's passes, which are often players who are in the empty position.

So under the organization of Chi Liang, the Nets outside group began to exert their strength, whether it was Billups, Armstrong, or Kidders, Margety and Williams who came off the bench, they were very efficient and completely controlled the scene.

Under the organization of Chi Liang, the Nets quickly accelerated the pace of the game and began to play offensive basketball.

On the other hand, most of the Celtics' ball is concentrated in the hands of Walker, which also belongs to players who can play in all five positions, and is a rare "jack-of-all-trades" type player in the league.

In this case, it is naturally difficult for the Nets to contain Walker's offense, especially since he is still in good shape, whether it is Cage or O'Neal Jr., there is no good way for him, and this guy even made two three-pointers.

At the end of the third quarter, it was still the Nets' possession.

After holding the ball after half the court, Armstrong passed to Chi Liang again, with the help of O'Neal Jr.'s blocking, Chi Liang suddenly broke through, Pierce wanted to block, but was blocked by O'Neal Jr., was bypassed by Chi Liang, and began to impact the basket.

Walker hurriedly stepped forward, Ji Liang turned to the right side with the ball, raised his left hand slightly to block people, and lightly picked up his right hand to easily complete a reverse layup.

After Ji Liang made a successful layup, there were only two seconds left before the end of the third quarter, and the Celtics served, and Walker, who had not yet run past the middle circle, received the ball and threw the ball to the basket hard.

The basketball didn't even touch the basket and flew directly across the bottom line of the court.

The two sides were tied throughout the third quarter, but with one quarter left in the game, the Nets still held a 15-point advantage.

"In the fourth quarter, continue to follow this rhythm, as long as we remain patient, we will only win the game in the end!"

Coach Rivers was satisfied, and instead of adjusting his tactics, he was inspired, and if this trend continued, the team could win this game and go on to make it four wins in a row.

Unlike the 'breezy' Rivers, the Celtics head coach is still roaring loudly with a tactical board, even if the scene is quite noisy, the Nets can still faintly hear his voice.

"After the meeting, Paul, remember not to get hot-headed. We have to strengthen our defense and we have to give them a sense of pressure at all times. On top of that, the fourth quarter is about to begin, so you have to lock up the opponent's number one! ”

Section 4, Thief Terror!

Whether it's the head coach of the Celtics or the head coaches of other teams, they have naturally studied Ji Liang's game, especially his fourth-quarter performance. As is usually the case, Ji Liang is likely to explode in the fourth quarter and then take away the opponent in waves.

There is no doubt that Ji Liang is the offensive and defensive core of the Nets, and as long as they explode as usual in the fourth quarter and revitalize the team's offense, then the Celtics have little hope of winning.

Although the tactics are emphasized, the Celtic head coach still has no bottom in his heart, and he can only hope that the opponent will play badly.

Soon, the fourth quarter begins!

According to the jump ball rule, the Nets were in control of the ball, Armstrong was still resting off the court, and Billups was back in the point guard position.

As before, after finding that there was no chance, Billups passed the ball to Ji Liang in the horn area, and he organized the team's attack.

Shhh

At the moment when Ji Liang received the ball, the Celtics fans seemed to be organized, and they booed in unison, hoping to interfere with Ji Liang.

For a while, there were boos on the field.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Ji Liang swung his right hand, faked a foxy rush, and by the time Pierce reacted, he was already half a body ahead and quickly rushed towards the basket.

Walker didn't look good, while pressing Cage behind him, he faced Ji Liang head-on, as long as Ji Liang dared to make a layup, he would give him a good look.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Liang jumped up against Walker.

Walker on the front and Pierce on the side jumped at the same time, almost wrapping Ji Liang in the middle.

In mid-air, Ji Liang took the ball back, and then used the back pass to immediately split the ball to the lower right.

The opportunity was fleeting, but Ji Liang seized the opportunity well with his dynamic vision and passing skills.

Under the basket, unguarded, Cage catches the ball and easily puts the ball in the basket.

After the switch between offense and defense, the Celtics' offense was still dominated by Walker, but when he received the ball, Ji Liang immediately abandoned Pierce and completed the package with Cage in an instant.

Without waiting for Walker to pass the ball, Chi Liang successfully completed the steal with the help of his reaction, he grabbed the basketball and quickly rushed to the front court, leading the team to launch a fast attack.

After rushing through the center circle, in the face of Pierce's interception, Ji Liang did not choose to break through, but passed the ball to the bottom corner.

The ball arrived, and outside the bottom corner three-point line, Billups received the basketball, and there was even time to adjust before the defender pounced.

Swish~

After the basketball hollowed into the net and scored another three-pointer, the Nets stretched the gap to 20 points, and the Celtics had little chance of recovering the difference.

Unexpectedly, Ji Liang almost dominated both offensive and defensive ends, helping the Nets play super high efficiency, while also reducing the offensive efficiency of the Celtics.

Even if the Celtics head coach standing on the sidelines roared repeatedly, he still couldn't change the situation on the court.

In the audience, some fans couldn't stand it, and they chose to leave the court early, although there are still a few minutes, but judging from the current situation, the Nets are likely to win a big victory.

Not long after, seeing that there was no hope of victory, the Celtics head coach chose to give up and replaced all the main forces in advance, but what made him feel helpless was that even if the Nets also replaced the main team, their benches were enough to give up, and the point difference continued to expand.

By the end of the game, the Nets had a 126-95 win over the Celtics.

In this game, it was still Chi Liang who performed the best, once again getting 40+ triple-doubles, and Pierce, who was opposite him, scored a total of 17 points and 5 turnovers.
