Chapter Eighty-Six: The Unchanging Fiery
At the end of the first quarter, Jonny scored 24 points in a single quarter to give the Celtics a 15-point lead in the first quarter, and the Hornets collapsed.
The Hornets collapsed, but Jonny didn't let go of the Hornets, the playoffs have just begun, although Jonny thinks it's good to play a pig and eat a tiger, but it's not a thing to be underestimated like this, Jonny wants everyone to know that he is not a player of the same level as the Hornets leader Glen Rice, he is already a player of Michael Jordan's level.
In the second quarter, Jonny relaxed a little, hit consecutive shots, and after scoring 11 points, he chose to go to rest.
The result became that Jonny scored 35 points in the first half, and the Celtics led the Hornets by 25 points at halftime, and at this time, the reporters who thought the Hornets were better than the Celtics before the game had all shut up, and the performance of the Celtics and Jonny had shocked them.
In the second half, Jonny played again, facing Bobby Fels, who had been beaten by Jonny, and easily scored 10 points in a row, and the whole game had already scored 45 points, and the Celtics were already ahead by as many as 30 points because of Jonny's rampage!
The game ended halfway through the first quarter, which was the first game of the series, and after the victory was ensured, the Celtics naturally had to let the main players go to rest, and the Hornets, who felt hopeless to catch up with the score, also replaced all the main players.
In this way, it took two and a half quarters for Jonny to score 45 points to help the Celtics directly defeat the Hornets, after the game, the media was silent, only Yahoo Sports focused on the game, Adrian Wonarowski's previous prediction for this round of the series, can be said to be very accurate. He thought the Celtics were better than the Hornets, and the first game was a big win for the Celtics.
And Adrian Wonarowski's reason is that the Celtics have a superstar like Jonny Lee, and the result is that Jonny Lee's outburst helps the Celtics take a big lead and then defeat the Hornets!
Therefore, Yahoo Sports' pride can be imagined. The rest of the media has been planted on the Celtics' predictions for the Hornets.
Celtics win the first game by 30 points! This shows the huge advantage of the Celtics over the Hornets, although the first game is the home of the Celtics, but the competitive state and strength shown by the Celtics do not seem to be something that the Hornets can compete with.
Especially Jonny Lee, the Hornets can't find a player who can guard against Jonny Lee, Bobby Fils, who had high hopes before. In this battle, he became a defensive colander, and Jonny could break through in two steps. Even if Bobby Fils didn't lose his position defensively, Jonny could still shoot the basketball.
That alone can make the wasp desperate.
So, Yahoo Sports is quite proud. The rest of the media cautiously reflected on themselves, and then began to report lightly about the Celtics' victory over the Hornets as if nothing had happened, and the second game between the Celtics and the Hornets began again in this situation.
In the first game, the Celtics won by 30 points, which made the entire Hornets lose confidence, and Hornets head coach Dave Cowens was also a little overwhelmed. With only one day between the two games, it's a tough spot for the Hornets right now. It simply can't be solved in just one day.
So, on April 25, the second game between the two teams began, and the Hornets still had nothing to do with Jonny, they could only pray that something would happen after the last game. For example, Johnny Lee suddenly has no feel.
The Celtics won their last game by 30 points, the biggest margin of victory in the first round. In the other games, the Bulls beat the New York Knicks by 3 points. It was a bit of a thrill to win, but the good thing was that it was won.
The Pacers also had a 19-point victory, they beat the Cavaliers, maybe Sean Kemp really started to fall, anyway, against the Pacers, the Cavaliers were very weak.
The last matchup in the East, the Heat vs. the Hawks was considered the most intense matchup before the game, but this matchup eventually evolved into a 10-point lead for the Hawks until the end of the game, and finally the Hawks won the game with this 10-point advantage.
On the western side, the Jazz narrowly defeated the Rockets by 5 points in the first game, and it seems that the Rockets are really evenly matched with the Jazz; The SuperSonics beat the Timberwolves by 18 points, which also verified the media's pre-game statement that the Timberwolves were just here to accumulate experience; The Lakers narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers by 2 points, but the game was a bit thrilling; The Spurs won their first game by six points.
In general, in the first game of the East and West, the situation was still under the control of various expert reporters, and only one Celtic vs. Hornets made these reporters helpless to stretch out their faces and be beaten.
The second game between the Celtics and the Hornets was also focused on by these media reporters, although the Celtics won the first game by 30 points, they still hope to see a miracle happen, hoping to see the Hornets get back a city on the road in Boston.
At the beginning of the game, it was still the Hornets' possession, although the last game was knocked out by the Celtics, but at the beginning of this game, the Hornets' minds were still very clear, they knew that they could only adhere to the tactics of the inside line, so at the beginning of the game, the Hornets handed over the ball to Vladivac, hoping to open up the offensive situation through this point.
However, after being scored by the Hornets in the last game, the Celtics have already responded, and when Vladivac pulled to the high position, Ben Wallace decisively switched defenses with Derrick Coleman, allowing Derrick Coleman to also pull out to defend Vladivac, while Big Ben ensured the safety of the basket inside.
In this way, half of the high-post strategy is ineffective, and the remaining half is the Hornets' outside shooting.
Their first shot was given to Glen Les, but the Hornets couldn't fully open the air, and Jonny pounced on it to interfere with Glen Les' long-range two-pointer, and the basketball bounced out of the frame, and Ben, who protected the basket, grabbed the rebound.
The Celtics immediately started their fast attack, Jonny went straight to the front, and after receiving a long pass from Big Ben, he didn't make adjustments, and it was a super long shot on the spot!
Then he directly raised his right hand to shoot the basketball, waiting for the basketball to enter the frame, which was arrogant and helpless.
With a bang, the basketball did obediently get into the hoop, and this made the Hornets desperate, and Jonny's hand was still hot! This score not only showed Jonny's arrogance, but also made the Hornets realize that Jonny's hand was still the same as in the last game! (To be continued)
