Chapter 362: There is no danger

The shouts of the fans are noise for the away players, but they are the best doping for the players playing at home. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Celtics players began to fight back frantically on the cheers of the fans, and although they were already nearly 20 points behind their opponents, there were not a few teams that completed a super comeback in the final quarter of NBA history.

On November 26, 1977, the Bucks took on the Hawks and trailed by nine points at halftime, 55-64. But the Hawks came out of nowhere in the third quarter and beat the Bucks 40-21, causing the latter to go into the final quarter with a 28-point trail, and the Bucks still trailed by 29 points with 8:43 left in the game. But then they went on a 35-4 spurt to score 41 points in the quarter while the Hawks scored just 11 points, and the Bucks narrowly won 117-115.

Moreover, it is now the third game of the division finals, and the Celtics will not choose to give up no matter what, and they will definitely grit their teeth and hold on until the last second. Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that a small climax suddenly erupted at the beginning of the fourth quarter, because no one wants to lose, just like a person who falls into the water has to struggle desperately in the water whether he can swim or not.

But their comeback couldn't shake the 76ers' determination to win the game, and as the defending champions, they have seen this kind of thing a lot, and in their eyes it was a piece of cake. Although the Celtics narrowed the margin to 11 points, they have not scored an inch since then, and every time they score, the 76ers always return one, which also led to their inability to reduce the margin to single digits, let alone equalize the score, which is a big blow to their morale.

No one wants to see their efforts in vain, so the Anser Ball is the most annoying part of the game, and when the opponent responds on the offensive end, you feel that your previous goal is useless, especially in the chasing phase, which is maddening, and the Celtics players are like that right now.

After withstanding the Celtics' counterattack, the 76ers regained control of the situation on the court, and Reed's three-point cold arrow made every Boston person hate, because whenever the Celtics were about to get up, he could always deliver a fatal blow from outside the three-point line, directly suppressing the opponent's momentum, which also made him booed much louder than his teammates.

Fortunately, Reed's nerves are tough enough, he is a big heart shooter, and winning the championship with the team in his rookie season has further improved his inner endurance. The boos from the home fans are no big deal for him, although he is not crazy like Arenas, but it is still easy for him to maintain the accuracy of the target despite the noise interference, and he has also done targeted training in normal times. Of course, Celtic fans won't let him go, and while the boos didn't help, it showed their attitude.

Reed helped the 76ers firmly control the situation on the court, and his three-pointer left the Celtics helpless. Although O'Brien has assigned a designated player to defend him one-on-one, Reed is no longer the rookie he was last season, and his aggressive movement can keep him from a lot of trouble, and it is difficult for defenders to keep up with his pace, let alone defend.

In the end, the Celtics' comeback only saved them a little more face, and they still lost their first home court, allowing the 76ers to re-establish home-court advantage. The Celtics have not had a good record on the road this season, and although they have a high win rate, they have the lowest win percentage among the Eastern Conference semi-finals, and if they can defend their home court, they can also give it a go in the next games, but now that they have lost a home court, it will be difficult for them to make a difference in the series.

Although the 76ers eventually defeated their opponents 101-87, Brown was still not very happy with the performance of his teammates. He's an old-school results-oriented coach, but that doesn't mean he's going to keep quiet about the problems that arise in the game. On top of that, he didn't shy away from talking about the players in his post-match press conference and showed that he hated it.

'There's not much to say about the outcome of this game, but I think it was just a matter of luck that we won, not that we played better than our opponents, but that they played worse than us. To be honest, our shooting was terrible in this game, it was like putting a lid on the basket, which is not our normal level, and I think I should fix it now. ”

"Will it be the same in the next game? Who knows? I can only ask my players to do their best, and I don't want to see Samuel grab another 15+ rebound, even though it's very good for us. If I could, I'd prefer my players to hit the basket on the first shot, rather than waiting for their teammates to grab an offensive rebound! ”

Originally, the players thought they would be able to rest the next morning, but when Brown returned to the locker room, he only delayed the start of training by an hour, telling them to start training at 10 a.m. the next morning. This arrangement puzzled everyone, because they still won the game anyway, and the big score of the series became 2-1.

Facing their blank eyes, Brown said solemnly: "Boys, this is a punishment for your poor performance in this game, I don't want to see you still playing iron in the next game, God!" You're all about to smash the basket, okay? So I hope you can take the time to train and get back on the training pitch instead of waiting for the next game to start. ”

Everyone had nothing to say at this time, especially the faces of those who had a relatively low hit rate were a little red, obviously ashamed of their performance in the game. As a result, everyone had no objection to Brown's training schedule, and instead geared up to find their shooting sights in the training session, and they all saw the consequences of the plummeting shooting percentage in this game, and if they didn't strengthen the breakthrough, it would be difficult for them to get out of the quagmire, let alone win the game.

Originally, Chang Wei still wanted to take out the shooting machine he had redeemed at the beginning and use it, but after thinking about it, everyone didn't need to improve their strength, just to get back to their state, and there was no need to make a fuss. In fact, shooting misses are often psychological problems rather than technical problems, and there are also some very magical situations where the feeling suddenly disappears, as long as they are given time, they will definitely get better, and there is no need to interfere artificially, but it is indeed a good decision for Brown to arrange shooting training.
