At half-time, the faces of the fans were full of smiles that could not be hidden.

After a tactical confrontation, Tang Tian was still the most awesome, and the Celtics' research in the past three days was in vain.

Fans waited for the Rockets to wrap up the game in the second half.

But as soon as they returned in the second half, the Celtics coaching staff once again showed everyone what they were capable of.

Coming back in the second half, Rivers directly replaced Perkins and used Posey as the starting No. 4.

This also means that Garnett will play the No. 5 position and directly opposite Yao Ming.

In the first half, Rivers also let Garnett try to switch Yao Ming for two rounds, but Perkins was shot twice in a row by Millsap and finally had to choose to give up, and now he is taking Perkins directly.

This is a broken jar, and it is directly ruthless.

Posey has excellent defensive skills, and you have the ability to beat me to death with Millsap!

The Rockets weren't polite, and Yao Ming moved Garnetra to the other side, leaving enough space for Millsap to play in the high post.

The Celtics didn't help defending at this time, and Millsap was only a sophomore after all, and they didn't want to take that risk.

Millsap took a look at Posey on his back and didn't wrap it, and directly sank down his center of gravity and started fighting.

James Posey, the Heat's 06 championship hero, one of the league's well-known defensive giants, many people put him on the same level as Bowen and Battier, to paraphrase the expert's words: with his veteran experience and accurate judgment, he can even defend a big forward 3 inches taller than him when his body is not dominant.

Small forwards can defend against big forwards, which is a very high evaluation.

But the crux of the matter is that Millsap is not an inch taller than Posey, but he weighs a full 20 kilograms.

When it comes to back playing, weight is a more important part than height.

Not to mention that when Millsap first entered the league, he began to practice back play under the guidance of Tang Tian, and now it has been a full 2 seasons.

After resisting twice, Posey was completely staggered.

A weight-crushing turn, Millsap squeezed away Posey to score on the board.

In the face of absolute disparity, Posey's defensive skills are useless at all.

On the Celtics' side, Pierce's strong layup went wide.

The Rockets pushed to halfcourt and continued to let Millsap sit low and play Posey.

This time, Millsap played more thoroughly, directly making a crushing big turn, and rushing to the basket was a one-handed dunk.

The cheers at the scene exploded again.

The Celtics' adjustment in the second half, after all, was a half-time countermeasure, and it was far less effective than the opening arrangement.

The thoughts of the fans at the scene at the moment are: Why do you think you are Tang Tian!

After just over three minutes, Millsap had already scored seven points, beating Posey's old fritter to his feet.

Rivers opened his mouth wide and looked blankly at the court at this time, which was already an emoji material.

In the end, the method of breaking the jar did not work, and the Celtics' defensive system once again lost its effect, and could only rely on the firepower of the Big Three on the offensive end to maintain the score.

But this Celtics team is based on defense, fighting offense, and the other points outside the Big Three are too poor, and they are not the opponents of the Rockets at all.

In the end, to the cheers of nearly 20,000 fans at the Toyota Center, the Rockets defeated the Celtics 106-93 to win the second game of the series.

Yao Ming scored 32 points, plus 13 rebounds and five assists, Maddy had 20 points, four rebounds and four assists, and Millsap had a playoff high 18 points and seven rebounds.

On the Celtics side, the Big Three's play has rebounded greatly from the previous game, Garnett scored 21 points and 9 rebounds on 9-of-14 shooting, Pierce also scored 23 points on 8-of-17 shooting, and Ray Allen scored 22 points on 5-of-17 three-pointers.

The Big Three combined for 66 points, but otherwise did not score another double-double.

With a 2-0 lead, the Rockets managed to defend their home-court advantage despite the ups and downs of the process.

In this way, even if the Rockets lose all three of their next three away games, the rest of the games will all be played at home.

Of course, the probability of the Rockets losing three games in a row is also very small.

The Rockets' promotion situation is very good.

After the game, the Rockets fans and the media were cheering.

The title defense is close at hand, and many fans have already started to revel in advance, and even began to discuss whether the Rockets can sweep their opponents to win the championship like last year.

There was a lot of talk in the outside world, and although the players were unintentional, there was still a hint of pride.

After Tang Tian saw it, he pulled it up and reminded him for a while, and then directly asked the players to turn off all social media and train directly behind closed doors before winning the championship.

The adjustment quickly paid off, and the players adjusted their mentality and continued to train hard, just waiting for the team to lift the O'Brien Cup in Boston.

Thinking about lifting the trophy at the home of the glorious Green Army is definitely a particularly exciting thing.

On the evening of June 10, U.S. time, Tang Tian and Team Rocket boarded a plane to Boston.

Tomorrow night, they will play Game 3 of the Finals and the Celtics' first home game.

Early the next morning, Tang Tian organized the team for basic training.

Although they won both home games, the Celtics are by no means that easy to play, knowing that the Celtics have only lost 2 of the 41 home games this season, which is even more exaggerated than last year's Utah Jazz Devil's home court.

The Rockets are training behind closed doors and have declined all interviews from reporters, but the Celtics are still practicing openly, and the team's general manager, Angie, has also come to the training gym to cheer up his teammates.

When the general manager arrived, the reporters on the sidelines naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.

Although he lost two games in a row, Anji's face was still full of confidence, and he brought out the Celtics' home record, as well as the examples of counterattacks in the playoffs this year, and admitted that he believed that the team would start to fight back at home.

"I heard that last summer, the team wanted to hire Tang Tian to be the head coach, but it didn't work out, and now Tang Tian has the upper hand in the game against Rivers, is this a pity?" The reporter who asked the question obviously felt that the material was not enough, so he directly put a big move.

"What? Who do you listen to? Anji directly denied the reporter's question.

"Rivers is the best coach in my mind, he's done his best, I don't think he's worse than Don, I don't think the situation has anything to do with his coaching ability, and now the team is temporarily behind for a lot of reasons, but like I said, we're going to start fighting back at home."
