The commentary for this game is Barkley and O'Neal.

"Hey, Shaq, did you think this series would be the way it is?"

"No, the green shirts were almost eliminated in the first round, and the Big Three are all older, and honestly I started to think they were going to be swept straight away like the New Yorkers."

"And then you got slapped in the face?" Barkley had a gloating expression.

'Yes, I underestimated the resilience of this team, and in a way they could be the strongest green shirts in recent years.

"Oh! So do you think they'll win at home tonight? Barkley asked with a smile.

"I thought so."

"Originally?" Barkley looked at O'Neill suspiciously.

"Yes, originally, but the coach of this Cavaliers team is Tang Tian, he will always make many unexpected changes, the kind that can turn the situation around the two sides, do you remember the playoffs 5 years ago, he used infinite air cutting to exhaust the Spurs, oh, and two years ago, they used defensive counterattacks to kill all opponents, and then today the Cavaliers closed for a day of training."

"So you think it's time for them to make a big move again?" Barkley asked.

O'Neill nodded.

"Okay, man, let's see if the Cavaliers will really change, after all, Shaq has also played under Tang Tian for a year."

"Yes, my head coach after all." O'Neill said with a laugh.

When the two of them were talking eloquently in the commentary seat, the starters of both sides had already appeared.

Yao Ming and Steensma jump ball in midfield.

In the cheers of the audience, Steensma had already jumped high, but he couldn't stand Yao Mingren higher.

The ball was fed back into the Cavaliers' half, Artest grabbed the ball and gave it to Paul, and the visitors had the chance to attack first.

Paul advanced to the front court with the ball, and he didn't look for Yao Ming to block and pick and roll like in the previous series, but waited for Yao Ming to reach the high position, and made a block and pick and roll with Artest on the right side.

After the disassembly, Artest took Rondo to the other side of the half, and Paul took the ball directly to Garnet.

Yao Ming pulled Stiesma to the high post, Green and Carter dropped to the bottom corner, and Rondo was pulled to another stretch of the court, and the Cavaliers completely pulled out the whole sense of space on the court.

Garnett is old after all, and his footsteps and reactions are a notch behind Paul, and he can't stop Paul at all one-on-one.

Paul squeezed in a low-handed layup to score the ball.

The Cavaliers took the lead.

On the offense of the Celtics, Rondo commanded the tactical run, threw his hand to Garnett, who finished the block, and Garnett turned and hit a high jumper.

Garnett is in excellent form after his second spring.

Paul carried the ball to the front court, still the same tactic, still playing Garnett, this time with a small pull rod after turning, and also scoring the ball.

Reeves reached for his forehead on the sidelines.

Paul's ability to play small and big is too good, and the old Garnett really can't guard against one-on-one.

The Celtics' offense didn't score, and Paul went back to playing Garnett.

Pierce, who was on the weak side, wanted to come over to help, but Paul turned his head to look at Carter, and he had to retreat again.

Just like Tang Tian said at the press conference before, players who have both offense and passing are the biggest threat on the offensive end.

It's still one-on-one, and Garnett is pushing fiercely this time.

Although he is old, after all, he is the former wolf king, and he has nothing to do, and he also wants to save face.

Paul was also resolute and made consecutive turnaround layups.

Garnett struggled to block and hit Paul's hand.

The ball didn't go in, and Paul got two free throws.

Tang Tian nodded at this time, and the Knights' strategy began to work.

Pierce's jumper added points for the Celtics, and back in the day, Paul hit Garnett!

The fans at the scene are a little fried, this is going to make trouble!

Pierce directly let Carter go at this time and turned around to help defend.

If Paul is allowed to play like this again, scoring too much damage to the morale of the home team, and creating another foul on Garnett, Garnett will have to commit 2 fouls.

Paul saw the bag clip and directly chose to split the ball Carter.

Carter opened his hand and feintted to shoot a three-pointer.

Pierce flew back to help defend, Carter directly collected the ball, shook Pierce and then killed the basket.

Garnett had been pulled to the other side by Paul at the same time, and Steensma was basketed back.

Carter didn't choose to pass the ball, but flew up a meter away from the basket and jumped up, looking at the posture to dunk directly.

Steensma pounced on the shot.

Carter was pulled down.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blows for a blocking foul on Steensma.

Carter's two free throws.

Carter booed the court and hit both free throws to give the Cavaliers a 6-4 lead.

For the next few rounds, the Cavaliers' strategy remained the same.

Whether it's Paul or Carter, or even Artest, they all rush to the basket when they take the ball.

It's just a non-stop thud!

Garnett and Stevensma both had one foul on their backs, and they were obviously afraid to make a move when defending.

The game played more than 4 minutes, and the Cavaliers led the Celtics by 4 points 12-8.

Pierce missed an outside three-pointer, Paul carried the ball to the frontcourt, and also played Garnett.

This time, Steensma went straight to the basket.

Paul spun around under the basket, took away Steensma, and then went straight to Yao Ming in the high post.

Yao Ming didn't shoot most of the empty positions, and he also burst into the basket when he took the ball!

Garnett struggled to interfere, Yao Ming didn't turn around, and faced the confrontation.

"Toot!"

The ball was interfered with, but the referee on the sidelines blew the whistle again.

Garnett's personal second foul!

Garnett jumped up and theorized with the referee, and the referee shook his head vigorously.

Reeves had no choice but to replace Garnett with Bass.

At this time, he also saw the tactical intention of the Cavaliers' series of operations, and even Yao Ming was so abrupt, which was a clear attempt to create damage.

It's a pity that he was slow to react, and Garnett has already committed 2 fouls.

Pierce's breakthrough layup made it 2+1, bringing up the atmosphere of the scene.

But the Cavaliers didn't care, and on the offensive end, Paul looked for Yao Ming to block and dismantle, pulled Steens out after dismantling, and then continued to choose one-on-one breaks.

It's not enough to do one Garnett, you have to do all the inside lines of the Celtics to be willing!

Without waiting for Reaves to speak, Rondo directly played his role as a coach on the court, shouting for the Celtics to shrink their defense.

Paul's breakthrough was besieged.

However, after killing back and forth on the inside, he did not choose to be strong, but directly threw the ball to Green in the bottom corner.

Shrinking is bound to leak, and it takes time to help defend even the best, and Paul's passing is surprisingly fast.

Green catches the ball and is a big open three-point shot.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball hollows into the net.

Despair!
