Chapter 28

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led by 5 points, but this point difference obviously did not satisfy the Celtics, they didn't want revenge to revert like this, the first quarter failed to lead by a large score, but let the Nets' offense play smoothly, although the Celtics began to press the Nets' offense in the second half, but they could only be regarded as average, which was still a big move to shrink the defense. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

If it weren't for the shrinking defense, the current Celtics might even be behind, and Jonny also felt more and more through the first quarter that he now needs a player who can help him open up space. Several players in the team, including Dana Barros, are unable to help Jonny open up space, and they are not strong enough to threaten their opponents.

At least compared to the Magic's Anfernee Hardaway, and Jonny feels that if the 76ers' Derrick Coleman does come, it may alleviate the current predicament.

"Shrink the defense! Shrink the defense! Root! Hold the penalty area, don't let them rush in easily, and others, block the opponent's breakthrough! Don't be like a telephone pole and be passed by! "Rick Pitino was clearly unhappy with the team's defensive performance in the first quarter, and his demands were all about defense.

In Rick Pitino's view, the first adjustment in the first quarter has solved the offensive problem, and now the team's problem is only the defensive problem. If they can't defend the Nets' offense, then the Celtics will have a very tough game. This is clearly not what the Celtics want to see.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics were attacking, and Jonny took the ball and used an unstoppable breakthrough to directly pass Kendall Gill, who was defending him, and then accelerated to the basket and completed a violent dunk, which attracted thunderous cheers from the home fans, especially the group of Asian fans, who waved wildly with slogans in their hands.

There was a violent dunk at the beginning, and the Celtics' desire to end the Nets as soon as possible has been fully revealed.

However, the Nets were not to be outdone, and Kendall Gill dribbled for a while before opting to pass. He didn't have confidence in his single Jonny, in fact, it was Jonny who was okay defensively in this game, in addition to Chauncey Billups and Dana Barros on point guard, and Bruce Bowen at small forward. Defensively, there was something out of the ordinary. Especially the point guard's defense, the opponent's Samkassel has gone crazy.

This ball was passed to Sam Cassell, the aliens began to explode from the transfer to the Nets last season, and this season they have continued to average 20 points per game, and their scoring ability is very prominent among the league's point guards. And in the face of the defense of Dana Barros. Samkassel took Danabaros by almost a big stride.

Rick Pitino also covered his head at this moment, emphasizing that the defense was still like a telephone pole.

But better than the first quarter, Danabaros knew to defend with all his might, and he quickly turned his head to chase after him, although he could only follow Samkassel to eat ashes, but he still kept up with the defense.

And what made Rick Pitino even more a headache was Ben Wallace, who had turned over on the inside in the first few games, and he didn't have the kind of state that could be used to make up for defense anytime and anywhere, and after Sam Cassell rushed into the inside line, the inside line was empty. Ben Wallace was standing near the free throw line, and he was dragged out by Jason Williams. The box was empty, and Sam Kassel was about to complete a layup.

At this time, a hand stretched out next to him, and Danabaros reached directly to pull it, and he would rather pay for a foul.

Beep beep~! The referee's whistle blew, but to Danabaros' unacceptability, the ball went in! 2+1, with Sam Kassel's free throw shooting percentage, there is no doubt that he can complete the three-point shot.

Rick Pitino looked helpless, and he looked at the bench. Looking at Chauncey Billups, this Tanhua's defense was at least a little better than Dana Barros, and the second quarter had just started when the Celtics called another timeout. Chauncey Billups was replaced, and with a slight emphasis, the game resumed.

Samkassel made it to the free throw line and made it safe.

Then, in the next three attacks of the Celtics, Jonny did not take action himself, but organized his teammates to attack. But the teammates' hand was a little too bad, and all three offenses failed, and at the beginning of the second quarter, the Nets actually took advantage of the Celtics' slump for a period of time to directly overtake the score!

This is something that the Celtics didn't expect, Jonny felt very angry, this group of teammates did mean some pig teammates, Jonny sighed secretly and decided to come by himself.

The next attack of the Celtics, Jonny held the ball from beyond the three-point line, and his teammates pulled away. Looking at Kendall Gill, who was very nervous, Jonny wanted to laugh a little.

"Can you stop me? You can't stop it! Jonny muttered two sentences, regardless of Kendall Gill's attitude, he took a big step forward, and then suddenly another step back in Kendall Gill's panicked retreat, a jump shot directly outside the three-point line!

In the exclamation of the fans in the stadium, Jonny directly hit this three-point shot!

Full of cheers, Celtic has overtaken by one point!

Kendall Gill was a little depressed, this game was the first time he met Jonny this season, and in several games with Jonny last season, he was blown up into scum by Jonny, and this game was the same, although the Celtics failed to complete the Nets as a whole, but it was also because of Jonny's teammates, and it had nothing to do with Jonny, and it was at the beginning of the second quarter, Jonny had scored 17 points, which is not bad.

Then the Nets' offense succeeded again, this time their defense was much better, Chauncey Billups was not taken by Sam Kassel, or Chris Gatlin's block helped the aliens shake off Chauncey Billups, and this ball Sam Kassel hit a layup, the Nets overtook by one point, and it seemed that a tug-of-war was about to begin.

Then, Jonny took the ball at the top of the arc at the three-point line, and Kendall Gill looked at the smiling Jonny, feeling a little worried in his heart, and his eyes kept turning, as if thinking about Jonny's next step. However, Jonny didn't give Kendall Gil time to think, he looked at Kendall Gil in a daze, and directly hit a three-point shot on the spot!

Kendall Gil is shocked and rushes up to block Jonny's vision. But at this time, it was too late, Jonny had already shot three points, and hit again with a bang! Before I knew it, the difference was 2 points! Jonny made a small difference with two three-pointers!

And after hitting this goal, Jonny dropped a sentence: "You still can't stop me!" "I ran back to the back to defend.

In the second quarter of the game, Jonny completely stood up and supported the team's offense alone, and even took on the team's defense at the end of the second quarter. Then there was a halftime break, and the explosion continued in the third quarter to help the Celtics continue to extend their lead.

At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics took a 20-point lead, and the Nets chose to surrender at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Rick Pitino was relieved, but Jonny was already exhausted, and in order to help the Celtics win, he almost completely controlled the team's offense and defense in the second and third quarters.

And in this game, Jonny's data has also reached the point of god-level data, in this game he scored a season high of 59 points, and at the same time had 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, almost 60+10+10 god-level data, and Jonny scored 59 points, which was obtained in the third quarter, and Jonny's scoring explosion directly shocked the Americans.

At the end of the game, the Celtics avoided a losing streak, and the record after this game also changed to 10-2, ranking second in the East, second only to the Indiana Pacers who only lost one game.

But it's still not as good as Jonny, Jonny has played so many games, and his average has been maintained at more than 30 points per game, and he is very versatile, according to the current situation, the regular season MVP is proper, especially when Michael Jordan's state is slipping.

The most incomprehensible thing this season is that Michael Jordan's form has declined, in the absence of Scott Pippen, Michael Jordan's state has plummeted, and it seems that he has completely lost the strength of last season, and the game has played so far, the Bulls' record is only 6-5, you must know that the Bulls only lost 10 games and 13 games in one season in the previous two seasons, and now the Bulls have lost 6 games at the beginning of the season, which is obviously not normal.

And Michael Jordan averaged 27.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game in these 11 games, which is a big dive compared to last season's data. However, considering the age of 34, such a decline is not impossible, but it also begins to make people wonder if the Bulls' three-game winning streak can be achieved.

However, for the Bulls, they can still look forward to the situation after Scott Pippen returns, after all, they are now missing a core to play, and there must be a gap in the strength of the team.

And the current situation of the Bulls also gives hope to many teams, such as the Pacers, who broke out this season, as well as the old powerhouses New York Knicks and Heat, and the Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers, and Houston Rockets in the West all feel that their opportunities have come. Under the pressure of the Bulls to snatch a championship, several stars of this generation without a championship, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, and Karl Malone are all starting to look forward to their new season.
