"We've got to win!" Listening to the roars of the Cavaliers players inside the training ground, the media outside the stadium couldn't help laughing.

This is Boston, most of the outside are local media, the current Cavaliers have been forced to rush, they were broken by the Celtics at both home courts, and now they are panicked, this game, life and death, if you wait until the total score is 3-0, then consider that the daylily is cold, North Shore Garden Arena, one of the most famous devil home stadiums in the league.

Here the Celtics' combat effectiveness has increased by at least 10 percent, and in the face of the Celtics, in fact, the Cavaliers are already fighting with their backs, saying that they have to break the Celtics' two home courts, which is also the most important thing that the outside media said, if the Cavaliers don't win the game, then everything they prepared in the regular season will be useless.

Mike Brown also knows that if he still can't win a championship with such a lineup, he will leave far more than himself! If the Cavaliers reached the Finals in '07, it was Mike Brown's birthplace.

Then this year's Mike Brown also followed the Cavaliers' record and came to the edge of the cliff, and if one is not careful, he may fall, and now the Cavaliers are fighting to win, not to regain face, so they must win this game.

It is foreseeable that the Cavaliers, who want to compete, will definitely do their best to attack the Celtics in this game.

The Celtics, who also know this, have already made arrangements, and in the tactical room of the Celtics team's training hall, the Celtics players gathered at this time to study how to play the third game against the Cavaliers.

"What? Abandon this game? Jiang Yang looked at Doug Rivers and asked with some puzzlement, not willing to accept defeat.

Especially like this, the defeat that had been decided before the start of the game was the first to raise his own questions.

"Yes, give up!" Doug Rivers didn't give Jiang Yang face, after all, he is the real boss in the team.

In the other courts, except for Jiang Yang, there is basically no puzzled look on the faces of the others, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rashid Wallace, Mike Finley, these five old demons know why the coach made such a choice.

Although Perkins is indignant, he is also an old man in the team, although he doesn't understand why the head coach gave up this game, but in general, even if he doesn't understand, he will definitely not stand up and ask, because he believes Perkins.

The rest of the benches, Tony Allen is still sitting there listening carefully, Nate Robinson has not played in the playoffs, but there is no action, Daniels is there watching the sky, and he is slipping away again...... Glenn Davis is a descendant of Doug Rivers, what Doug Rivers said is better than Garnett, and naturally there is no discussion, so the only one in the entire team who dares to ask questions is Jiang Yang, but fortunately, Doug Rivers is not a cautious person.

Then he began to explain to Jiang Yang why he gave up the game, and now the Celtics have forced the opponent to a dead end.

Jiang Yang also understands this, if in the third game, the Celtics at home, with a devastating momentum, directly take down the Cavaliers, if they can be defeated, then there will be no problem, but if you are afraid, you are afraid, what if you can't do it?

The morale is high, and the Cavaliers, who are fighting on their backs, have no way out, and in such a desperate situation, even if there is a home court, it is difficult for the Celtics to suppress the Cavaliers, so here Doug Rivers played a little trick...... "The playoffs are not the regular season, except for defensive intensity and significance, the playoffs are seven, and the regular season is only one!" Doug Rivers saw that Jiang Yang was holding back his emotions, and began to speak, in fact, this is mainly for Jiang Yang.

Listening to Doug Rivers, Jiang Yang also calmed himself down, listening to why Doug Rivers gave up this game.

"This game is a very crucial game, if we win it, it will be a match point, which is basically determined to advance to the finals, but in this game, we are likely to face the Cavaliers' ferocious counterattack! In the face of the Cavaliers, whose combat effectiveness has increased by at least three percent, it is okay if it is won, but if it is not won, and then because of the opponent's counterattack, our players will be injured, and the gains will outweigh the losses! So, sometimes giving up is also an offense! Listening to Doug Rivers' words, Jiang Yang nodded beside him, thinking carefully that what Doug Rivers said was actually right, but it was different from Jiang Yang's philosophy.

Doug Rivers doesn't care much about the small victory in front of him, but pays more attention to the big victory in the back, and Jiang Yang's small victory and big victory are all concerned, one side is sesame, and the other side is watermelon, now let Jiang Yang choose, Jiang Yang is a little greedy, both sides want to catch, both hands want to be hard, and the reason why Doug Rivers has become a famous coach in the league is because he sees the players clearly, he understands that the risk and difficulty of winning the Cavaliers in the third game are not small, so he decided to choose watermelon, Give that sesame seed to the knights to eat to relieve their hunger, and when the knights' grudges are not so heavy, they will kill them with one blow!

Doug Rivers, the best example of a real man coach in the league, has a coaching style that focuses on one-on-one defense.

But it doesn't mean that he won't be flexible, unlike the current situation, basically ninety percent of the coaches in the league will choose to give up this game, because they know that even if they face a weak team, in such a situation, the opponent's combat effectiveness will be very terrifying, not to mention the Cavaliers who look stronger than the Celtics in the lineup.

So it was very wise for Doug Rivers to ask the Celtics to give up this game at this time, after listening to Doug Rivers' words, Jiang Yang didn't know what to say, people are always greedy, and people's subjective impression must think that they are right.

Doug Rivers also knows that Jiang Yang can't listen to these things when he talks to Jiang Yang now, so he might as well continue his own judgment.

He understands that Jiang Yang is still young, and after he has played for more than ten years, he will be like Garnett now, but he will not be excited at all when he hears about giving up this game, because they know that sometimes it is much better to give up something than to blindly pursue it! After returning home, Jiang Yang rethought Doug Rivers' words, in fact, Doug Rivers's words are very simple, there is such an allusion in Chinese history, one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion...... That's how the current Cavaliers are.

They have no way to retreat, at this time in the third battle, their morale and fighting spirit are the strongest, just like two people fighting, one person forced the other person into the corner, there is no place to retreat, there is no place to escape...... Then this guy will be desperate, and if you take a step back in advance and make way for him before he is desperate, then this guy's first thought is to escape, and then come to himself for revenge after escaping, but at this time, because he has lost, so morale and fighting spirit have dropped by more than one level, and people's hearts are the most unpredictable! Of course, it is not excluded that after this guy Yang went out, he really played well, but instead gave his own food, but this kind of situation is not common in the alliance.

Give up the third battle, even if Jiang Yang doesn't agree, he will fight like this...... At half past eight in the evening on May 24, 2010, and at half past eight in the morning on May 25, Yenjing time, the third game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers officially started at North Shore Garden, the home of the Celtics.

Sure enough, just like Doug Rivers thought, the Cavaliers went crazy when this game began!

From the beginning of the game, the big shark O'Neal was very positive, you must know that it is not easy to make this big guy, the old ball ruffian positive, but although his first shot was interfered with by Perkins, but then O'Neal once again struggled to pick up the rebound and attack again, forcing Garnett's foul, after two free throws and two hits, to help the Cavaliers start!

Although Doug Rivers said to give up this game, he also asked that if the Cavaliers' offense can't be opened, then solve them at home! So at the beginning, the Celtics also played quite hard, but the Cavaliers really fought today! After starting O'Neal's offense, he scored another one with James, scoring six points in a row to help the Warriors get off to a 6-0 start, and the Green Army generals were naturally not to be outdone, Garnett and Rondo made contributions one after another, chasing the score to 8-10. After that, the Cavaliers made three consecutive turnovers, but they used their strong defense to let the Celtics not make a single attack.

The situation of the game changed after Perkins was really a little annoyed and angry after a malicious foul on James, the score was still stalemate, under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers instantly played a wave of 15-4 offensive **, in one fell swoop to stretch the score to double digits, the substitutes came on the court at the critical moment, and Rasheed Wallace jumper helped the Celtics break the scoring drought.

And Jiang Yang also hit a three-point shot to help the Celtics chase the score, but this still couldn't stop James's offensive, Jiang Yang could defend against James alone, but James had already used the block, so Jiang Yang had no way at all.

Under the leadership of the emperor, the Cavaliers completely controlled the situation on the court, and at the end of the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers led the Green Army by as many as 4 points at 36-22, and James shot 8 of 10 in the first quarter.

He used the inside line under the basket to pull out the block, as if he was a point guard and Jiang Yang was a small forward.

From this aspect, I also learned that James was really forced by Jiang Yang and them, otherwise he would not be so shameless.

It turns out that the shameless James is terrifying, and the data of 21 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter is enough to make him laugh at the whole league.

And Pierce shot 0 of 5 under his defense today, but fortunately, after Jiang Yang came on the court, he shot 2 of 3, a two-pointer, a three-pointer, and got five points, otherwise the Celtics would have lost miserably in this position of small forward today.

Looking at the opponent's 36 points in a single quarter, Jiang Yang couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, it seems that what Doug Rivers said is really not wrong.

Today's Cavaliers are no longer the Cavaliers of the first two wars, they burst out of their own combat effectiveness of 200%, and the Celtics even if they are at home, at most they burst out of 110% combat effectiveness, the strength of the two teams is about the same, the Cavaliers may still have a slight advantage, and now the other party has an outbreak, then there is a problem on their side, and James is now starting to be shameless! He's shameless, what can you do? Jiang Yang was shameless, used a block, and rushed in, and someone made up for it.

But James was shameless, Jiang Yang was blocked, and after rushing in, there was really no one to stop him!

Garnett is old after all, his body is far less than before, Perkins is not small, but in the face of James, his speed, bounce and everything are too poor, he is completely a trick, in such a situation, no one can do anything, and Jiang Yang has no moves.

In this way, the second quarter of the game began, Jiang Yang continued to stay on the court to play, and at the beginning, Jiang Yang assisted Glenn Davis on the inside to play the inside single, and Glenn Davis took the ball and hit Vallejo next to him and knocked Vallejo away.

Vallejo, known as the Brazilian actor, his kung fu of fake fall is good, he seems to be a South American star, no matter what the ball is, the kung fu of fake fall is quite sharp, but his defense and physical fitness are far from the little fat squat, Glen Davis was just about to play after he crashed away, Jiang Yang shouted to be careful behind him, Glen Davis has not reacted yet, James over there has rushed over and slapped the basketball directly on the rebound, today's James is like eating hormones.

Fortunately, in the second offense, Jiang Yang used the blocking and dismantling to block James' three-point shot, and then Mike Finley hit a three-point shot, helping the Green Shirts score six points in a row to save some face, but James's hand still did not mean to cool down, under Jiang Yang's defense, he shot three points directly one step away from the three-point line, and the ball fell into the basket steadily.

His score increased to 24 points, and on the defensive end, he also defended Jiang Yang without temper, in the time after that, James reduced the momentum of his personal offense, and focused on defending Jiang Yang, all he had to do was to freeze Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang, who was seen to death by James, really didn't have much to do, substitute Valais Cordyceps, West's score still helped the Cavaliers maintain a fifteen-point lead, at 6 minutes and 50 seconds, the Celtics asked for a timeout, and James finally rested at this time, This also gave Jiang Yang a chance for these substitutes, without James' defense, Jiang Yang would be invincible on the court.

After breaking through Xiao Mo, he hit a layup, and after breaking through Parker, Yan dunked Valejo's key caused his foul to score 2+1, and he pulled out three points from the outside, Jiang Yang scored 8 points in just 2 minutes, and when there were 4 minutes and 19 seconds left in the game, the score was chased to 55-47, and the original 15-point advantage was only left in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Yang's score became 17 points. James had to re-enter the court to limit Jiang Yang, and Garnett, who was on the other side, also continued to attack successfully, helping the Green Army stabilize the morale of the army, but James's O'Neal's offense was still very ferocious, and under the leadership of two people, the Cavaliers once again left the Green Army far behind, and at the end of the first half, the Cavaliers led the Celtics by 14 points at 65-51.

James had 28 points and 8 rebounds in the half, Garnett had 12 points, and Jiang Yang had 17 points, becoming the only main point of attack on the Celtics court.

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the two sides changed places and fought again, Perkins and Rondo scored four points in a row, and the court once again became the stage of the Cavaliers, Xiao Mo played 2+1 for the emperor in the face of Perkins, and then James hit a jumper two steps away from the three-point line, this guy's arm strength is really terrible, the Cavaliers have extended the lead to as many as twenty points, Perkins' performance is not bad, after causing O'Neal to foul offensively, then sent a big hat in defense and knocked the big shark down.

At 8 minutes and 36 seconds, Jamison passed, and the big shark showed off a violent dunk, and the emperor's left and right sides also did not lack tacit understanding.

Looking at the score on the court, Doug Rivers also knew that it was time to rest the main players, although Rondo, Pierce, Garnett and others made contributions after that, but basically they didn't play much inside, the only impact on the inside was Rondo, and Jiang Yang, who came on the court later, after the third quarter, the Cavaliers led the Celtics by 18 points at 96-78, and basically locked the win.

The last quarter of the game basically became the time for the benches, and in the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Celtics 124-105 away, except for the first quarter and the second quarter when Jiang Yang was on the court, the Celtics did not play too closely with the Cavaliers.

Normally, the Cavaliers came and the Celtics withdrew, so although the Cavaliers got a big win.

But it was like a punch to cotton, and after the game, they still felt very unhappy.

In this game, everyone can see that the Celtics did not do their best, although the Cavaliers won one game and turned the overall score into 1-2, but the initiative is still in the hands of the Celtics, this game lost by 19 points, the next game, they will not be so polite, the Celtics' entire offense is basically completed on the outside, except for Perkins on the inside, there is almost no too much physical contact, the five starters, except for Rondo who played for 35 minutes, Aside from being the only main player who played more than 30 minutes, none of the other players played more than 30 minutes.

Jiang Yang became the only bright spot and main point of attack on the Celtics court, with 25 points in the game, second only to James's 38 points.

But in the end, the Celtics still lost the third game, and everyone set their sights on the fourth game! That's when the Celtics really make their efforts, and they want to see how long the Cavaliers' strength can last!
