Chapter 361: The scolding is like a tide

With a 12-point lead, the 76ers are starting to get bold, and even now that their combination is Lewis Gaoku, who is as soft as noodles, they still believe they can shoot the ball to hit the basket.

O'Brien fielded their starting lineup for the first half, but it was clear that it couldn't limit the 76ers' frantic shooting from beyond the three-point line. Reed, Lewis and Oku hit three-pointers in quick succession, and the margin was already on the way to 20 points, and the Celtics could do nothing but watch the basketball fly over their heads and fall into the basket.

Oku, in particular, is a bug on the court, and no one among the Celtics' outside players can guard him or interfere. If Barty pulls out from the interior to defend, then Oku can pass the ball to his teammates who cut to the basket and let them score on a layup. As a big man in Europe, Oku has the ability to do so, and while he doesn't show it often, it will cost his opponents dearly if they see him as just a finisher.

The 76ers' shooting percentage quickly improved after the start of the second half, and it was completely two notches compared to the first half, and after a dry shooter hit consecutive three-pointers, their most feared weapon returned. In fact, the 76ers were the best team in the league to play in the third quarter, and they were able to outscore their opponents by 10.1 points per game in those 12 minutes, which is a considerable margin.

Of course, this is because Brown likes to put on some less common but quite effective lineups at the beginning of the second half, relying on the powerful attacking power of the players on the field to destroy the opponent's defense in one fell swoop. Now they're doing the same, and Brown doesn't use much of this lineup, but it's a team that often practices together in training sessions, and the chemistry of the five has reached a certain level.

Under the bombardment of three-point shots, the 76ers' scoring continues to rise, although the Celtics players are also desperately scoring, but no matter how much the three-point shot has an extra 1 point bonus, even if the shooting rate is less than 40% is acceptable.

Later, every time a 76ers player shoots a three-pointer from the outside, the boos from the arena are a notch louder, and the home fans want to interfere with their opponents' shots in this way. And those fans sitting on the sidelines of the court are even more disrespectful to the 76ers players, although not to the point of greeting female relatives, but foul language is indispensable.

But the 76ers' big-hearted shooters were basically undisturbed, and Reed was one of the best, and he actually had the leisure to scold the fans on the sidelines in addition to shooting, so that he was the one who didn't care about winning or losing. But it doesn't matter to Reed, who wants to help the team win another championship trophy rather than win or lose the game.

But in this way, Reed enjoys the VIP level treatment, as long as he gets the ball, no matter what he has to do, there are always a few guys on the sidelines who yell at him and give him a middle finger. And now all he's going to do is keep a good mindset and put those balls that pass him to the basket in all sorts of ways instead of throwing them around.

In fact, in Reid's opinion, these scolding are a piece of cake, and if he can win the team, he wants to play in such a hostile environment every game. Of course, these aggressive fans didn't bother Reed at all, as he scored 13 points in less than eight minutes of playing time, including three three-pointers.

Reed wasn't the only player to fire up in the third quarter, in fact, every 76ers player on the court scored points, but everyone didn't score as much as Reed. This all-for-all style has helped the 76ers overcome a number of tough opponents this season, and the Celtics have become the latest victims. When the third quarter ended, the 76ers led by 17 points, 89-72, something that no one could have imagined before the game began.

At the end of the third quarter, there was an overwhelming boo and scolding throughout the North Shore Garden Arena, and some of the scolding was directed at the referee. Of course, the vast majority of the referee's penalties today are blameless, and even favor the home team more, but fans don't care whether you are biased towards their own team or not, they only know that the team they support now is the backward side, and the referee must have done something tricky, maybe he also collected the opponent's black money!

A lot of times the fans are just such an irrational group, they always think that the whole world is crowding out the team they support, and only fans like them are really good for the team. Well, they don't look like fans anymore, they are somewhat similar to extreme terrorists, Chang Wei can clearly feel a few vicious glances from behind him, but he doesn't care about this, for him, the more fierce the opponent's resistance, the more convincing the final victory.

Brown didn't take this to heart, he's been in the industry for many seasons, what moth hasn't he seen? He hasn't led the Celtics to the home court, and it's also in the playoffs. He admires the fanatical love of Celtics fans, but Brown believes that the players just need to be themselves on the court.

It soon became clear to everyone what Brown meant by being themselves, as they were hard to hear on the court, and all that caught their ears was the boos and yelling of the Celtics fans, who even shouted at the top of their lungs when communicating with each other. Chang Wei was also a little surprised by the crazy atmosphere of the home fans, this is not the first time the 76ers have come to Boston to play the Celtics this season, but the home fans are much more restrained than they are now in the regular season.

Brown seemed to see Chang Wei's question, and he smiled: "Chang, don't be surprised by the atmosphere at the North Shore Garden Arena, the playoffs and the regular season are completely different things, and it's still the stage of the division finals. If it weren't for the fact that the two teams would never have met in the finals, you could have even seen them go even crazier. ”

Chang Wei sighed helplessly, looked back at the fans who were blushing and thick-necked because of shouting, shook his head and said: "It seems that they don't feel tired at all, basketball is really an alternative stimulant, which can make thousands of people cheer and shout for a team in this arena, and unfortunately, we are on the opposite side of them......"

Brown patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "But winning the game in such a situation is more precious." I don't like the atmosphere either, but I think it can at least help us to work on our mental qualities. ”
