Meng Xu's dunk and the backlash of the fans at TD North Shore Garden Arena are not enough to change the course of the game, but it will still affect the mentality of these Celtics players on and off the court.

And for the fans and spectators at the scene, they have long had enough of the Celtics' almost incompetent and cold-blooded management, from the moment they forced out their favorite Larry Bird, they were full of disgust with the management group, and then Antoine Walker, if forcing these meritorious veterans can make the Celtics reborn and return to the top, they don't mind supporting this cold-blooded management, but the end result is both chilling and disappointing.

In order to avoid being traded, Larry Bird, who chose to retire early, chose to leave Boston, the land of right and wrong, and went to his hometown Indiana to coach the Pacers, and everyone saw the final result, Larry Bird turned the Indiana Pacers from a second-rate team that went downhill to the league's No. 1 powerhouse, as the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison, under the backdrop of Larry Bird's brilliant record, It is becoming more and more incompetent that the Celtics' management is incompetent, and although Danny Ainge has single-handedly organized a new Big Three this season, there will still be many fans who choose to side with Larry Bird before the Celtics win the championship.

"Steady, steady。。。。。。" After Kevin Garnett sent the baseline ball, Doug Rivers, who was standing on the sidelines, shouted at Rajon Rondo who was dribbling, this year is Rajon Rondo's second season, and it is also Rondo's first playoff trip, plus the previous two rounds of the series, the Celtics are basically smooth sailing, so Doug Rivers is a little worried about Rajon Rondo's ability to handle the ball in the face of adversity.

Rondo's psychological quality is very good, coupled with the words and deeds of his teammates such as Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen, so Rajon Rondo basically will not have a psychological breakdown under pressure and be overwhelmed in the face of adversity, but after hearing the shouts of the head coach, Rajon Rondo still took a few long breaths, trying to calm himself down, trying not to think about the picture of being robbed by Meng Xu just now.

However, in this offense, when Ray Allen ran out of the opportunity again, and Rajon Rondo passed the basketball in his hand very carefully, Rondo blamed himself in his heart with a frustrated face, because at the moment when he shot the basketball, Meng Xu successfully judged his passing route again, although this time Meng Xu did not directly break the ball, but Meng Xu still destroyed Rondo's pass to Ray Allen.

Two consecutive offenses, the Celtics' offense was destroyed by Meng Xu, and Doug Rivers, who was standing on the sidelines from the beginning of the game, also became a little anxious, he was even thinking about whether to call a timeout to take down Rajon Langdo directly, Rondo's shooting was not good, and he didn't even dare to shoot in the open position, but Doug Rivers can tolerate these shortcomings of Rondo, because Rondo's defense, because of Rondo's passing, can make up for his shortcomings, plus the Celtics really don't need Rondo very much to score, As long as Rondo can give the Big Three basketball when they get their chances, that's why Doug Rivers can tolerate the Pacers continuing to empty Rondo.

Now, however, Rondo is not only unable to score, but he is also somewhat unable to make successful passes, and a defender who cannot score and cannot provide assists to his teammates has no role on the field.

At this time, not only Doug Rivers on the sidelines hesitated, but even Rajon Rondo on the court began to hesitate, no one can maintain a calm mind after being tackled by the opponent in a row.

Soon, after Rajon Rondo's pass was destroyed by Meng Xu again, Doug Rivers directly called a timeout, but Doug Rivers did not directly replace Rajan Rondo, but pulled Rajan Rondo to teach by word and deed, and also made slight adjustments to the Celtics' tactics on the court.

However, Doug Rivers' timeout did not make a difference, although after the timeout, Rondo became more cautious in the choice of pass timing, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce also moved closer to the three-point line in the selection of receiving points, but Meng Xu was still able to take advantage of a slight opportunity to complete a steal or destroy Rondo's pass.

"Meng worked very the defensive end today!" Looking at Meng Xu, who treats the Celtics' defense as nothing on the offensive end, and then is almost omnipotent on the defensive end, Barkley is also a little confused, Meng Xu's single defense ability and co-defense ability are the top, and Meng Xu is also willing to share his energy on the defensive end, which is also the reason why Meng Xu can win the best defensive player four times as an outside player, but like today, it is indeed rare to be able to dominate the whole game at both offensive and defensive ends. ”

"Charles, as long as Meng wants to, he can keep playing like this." Looking at Barkley with a confused face, like a hillbilly who has never seen the world, Reggie Miller's psychological superiority arises spontaneously, the more people who know Meng Xu, the more clear they are, as long as Meng Xu is willing, as long as the physical strength can keep up, Meng Xu can always play such a dominant game, which is why Meng Xu dares to shout that as long as I am here, you don't want to covet the championship.

In the discussion between Barkley and Reggie Miller, the first quarter of the game was over, 24-15, the Celtics were almost crushed by the Pacers in the first quarter, and the Celtics, who were full of confidence before the start of the game, almost all hung their heads when they came off the court, especially Rajon Rondo, the first quarter of today's game, for him, it was like a nightmare.

"Bill, what are you thinking?" In a box in TD's North Shore Garden, Danny Ainge looked at Bill Russell who was in a daze and asked, because the Celtics reached the division finals again after 20 years, Danny Ainge invited many famous names in the history of the Green Army to watch today's game, but only Bill Russell looked sullen after entering the box.

"I think of Arnold again." With his chin in his left hand and a cigar in his right hand, Russell kept staring at the No. 2 jersey over TD North Shore Garden Arena, as Cardinal Auerbach's most loyal student, Russell never fulfilled Cardinal's last wish, so as long as he thought of the cardinal, Russell felt very guilty, and the teacher only made such a small request to himself when he was dying, and he couldn't help him complete it.

The contradiction between Larry Bird and the Celtic management has always been something that the cardinal can't rest assured of, and the left and right are his own disciples, so Auerbach very much hopes that they can reconcile, but these guys are more stubborn than the other, and no one wants to bow their heads, on the day of Auerbach's death, Auerbach took Russell's hand and asked him to find a way to resolve the conflict between them no matter what, so Russell wanted to take advantage of Auerbach's funeral to be a peacemaker to resolve their direct contradictions, But to Russell's surprise, both Cousy and Bird did not attend the cardinal's funeral under the pretext that something was going on.

After Russell fell silent, Danny Ainge also shifted his gaze to the court, and he once again remembered the cardinal's instructions back then, if they could resolutely implement the decision of the red-clad protagonist back then, and do whatever it takes to get Meng Xu to come to Boston, I'm afraid the Celtics will not return to the division finals after 20 years like they are now.
