Halftime, in the Cavaliers locker room.

Mike Brown was smiling at this time, and the player's performance did not disappoint him after all, and he managed to overtake the score at half-time.

In fact, he never thought that the Cavaliers would overtake the score at halftime, in his heart, he wanted to be able to chase the score to within five points, and not to be further pulled away even if the task was completed, he never thought that the player would overtake the score so powerfully.

"I'm very happy with your performance, maybe it wasn't as good as it could have been, but you did adjust in the end, and it was a very good performance, at least we were ahead of last season's championship at half-time, even if it was just one point, but it was also a lead," Mike Brown said seriously.

"But we rely too much on Huang and LeBron, it's not what I want to see, I hope in the second half each of you can step up, in terms of fitness our main force is far less than the opponent's fitness, there is no doubt about that, the opponent has been in the normal rotation and we are overloaded with the main force, which is very bad for us in the second half"

"James and Huang, I only rested for less than three minutes in the first half, and I will give them more rest time in the second half. At the beginning of the third quarter, you gave me constant runs, and as long as you ran out of the open space, Huang and James would definitely pass the ball to your hands in time, and teammates should trust each other. We're playing team basketball, not individual superstar basketball, you know? Mike Brown finished looking at the players in the locker room.

The locker room was unusually quiet, everyone was silent, resting, and recovering more physically, especially James and Huang Jun, as soon as they returned to the locker room, they sat down and gasped for breath. Obviously, the overuse of him in the first half made them feel very tired, and this was the first game of the new season, the state and fitness were not completely ready, and it was only as the season progressed that they gradually found their feelings.

On the Celtic side.

Rivers' expression was indescribably gloomy, he didn't expect to be completely turned around by the knights in just a few minutes. The first 21 minutes of the first half can be said to be a very good performance, but the last three minutes were given by the Cavaliers...

The Celtics players were also very frustrated at this time, there was no smile on their faces, everyone was waiting for Rivers' reprimand, and they were all ready, because they also knew that their performance in the last three minutes was indeed very bad, fifteen too much, and they were continuously counterattacked by the opponent to lead to this result.

"It's just the first half, so let's get up and wait for the second half, the second half is the real game, the first half is the time to warm up, the second half can't afford to lose," Rivers said to the surprise of the players.

They all thought Rivers was going crazy, but they didn't expect it to be so easy to say. At the same time, I made up my mind that I must not let the coach down in the second half.

Rivers then laid out the tactics for the start of the second half, and then fell silent.

And what is the reason why Rivers is so abnormal? What medicine is sold in a gourd?

The second half started quickly, and before it began, the league presented the Celtics with rings from last season's championship, and Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen hugged in front of them, tears in their eyes and the audience watched the eyes.

The fans gave the Big Three a round of applause and thanked them for bringing another championship to the city, the Celtics have been dormant for too many years, and when there was no Big Three, they were a team that bullied everyone who saw it.

James looked at the ring with bright eyes, very enthusiastic. James's change, Huang Jun on the side completely saw it, and said in his heart, "James, I believe we can win the championship." Wait."

Rondo controlled the ball, and slowly said that he brought the ball to the half court step by step, Garnett saw that Rondo was in the half, and immediately came up to cover him, and Rondo used this cover to easily pass Huang Jun and kill under the basket.

After Huang Jun bypassed Garnett's cover and block, it was obvious that it was too late to catch up with Rondo, so he had to helplessly defend Garnett.

Rondo originally thought that Huang Jun would follow, and then he was passing the ball back to Garnett, who was waiting at the free throw line, but he didn't expect Huang Jun to be so smart that he gave up on defending Garnett instead, which had to make him admire.

Seeing this, Rondo simply went directly to the basket without any worries, and in the face of Ilgosca's supplementary defense, Rondo directly chose to ignore it and threw the ball into the basket from the armpit of Big Z.

At the beginning of the second half, the Celtics took advantage of Rondo's breakthrough layup to score two points and successfully overtake the score.

Rivers said on the sidelines: "Hopefully this is a good start"

Rondo also glanced at Huang Jun deeply in the process of returning to defense, and he didn't know what this glance meant, did it have a deep meaning?

Huang Jun didn't care about Rondo's eyes at all, took the ball, and Huang Jun slowly dribbled towards the half.

James came around and Huang Jun's pass directly accelerated to break through Pierce and kill under the basket. Garnett immediately pounced, and James, who saw this, did not choose to come hard, and directly transferred the ball to Battier on the outside.

Battier received the ball and immediately transferred it to Landry on the baseline. Landry received the ball and was immediately in a state of release, and there was no doubt that the Celtics' defense had a hole under the Cavaliers' quick transfer of the ball, and Landry, who had a very good mid-range shooting ability, was empty.

Landry, who received the ball, immediately shot a mid-range jumper, brushed, and hollowed into the net.

Beat the score back again.

Then the two sides went back and forth, but in terms of the score, it was always the Celtics who suppressed the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers can be said to have been in a passive state, and it was difficult to take the initiative to counterattack, because the Celtics gradually entered the state.

With two minutes left in the third quarter, the Celtics led the Cavaliers by six points with a 65-59 lead, and the Celtics have outscored the Cavaliers by seven points since the beginning of the third quarter.

The reason why the Celtics can lead by six points is that Huang Jun and James are off the court at the same time, which means that it is difficult for the Celtics to open up the point difference when Huang Jun and James are on the court at the same time.

The main reason is that Huang Jun and James have played for too long, and Brown replaced them for the sake of the fourth quarter, and if they don't rest in the third quarter, it will be almost difficult to give them time to rest in the fourth quarter.

Because the fourth quarter was the pivotal moment of the game, the Celtics have been in the normal rotation and have not overused anyone. So it can be said that there is no problem in terms of physical fitness.

Although there is no problem with James playing the whole game, Brown doesn't want to do it, and the season has just begun, so he wants James to play the whole game? Just because you're in a tired state doesn't mean you're in good shape, and when you're tired, your shooting percentage isn't that high.

Now Brown only hopes that the Cavaliers' bench lineup can keep the score and not be pulled away again, and holding is the only task Brown gives them, and they dare not ask them to close the score, because it is too difficult.

Gibson controlled the ball, and Brandon Davis ran directly back to receive Gibson's pass and went inside.

Because he played very well in the summer league this year, he was eventually retained by the Cavaliers, and he was given the opportunity to play in the first game of the regular season, which is undoubtedly a sign of the coach's trust in him, and it is also a test of him.

Davis, who killed the inside line, did not have any fear in the face of Glen Davis, and asked for a violent dunk directly through the big baby. But the big baby didn't do it, and directly pulled Brandon down.

The referee directly gave the big baby an ordinary foul, but Brandon was a little dissatisfied, telling the referee that this was a malicious foul, but the referee should not pay attention to it, and Brandon had no choice but to walk on the free throw line.

Brandon, who was standing at the free throw line, didn't know if the first free throw was because he was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, and he was in a bad mood, and he didn't hit the first free throw, and the Cavaliers missed a point.

Brandon missed the second free throw, so Brandon hit one of two free throws to chase the deficit to five points.

House dribbled the ball and pushed into the half, and Gibson stuck to House, making small movements constantly, making him uncomfortable.

But House is a veteran, obviously not going to be angry with Gibson's small actions and lose his mind, which is the advantage of having a veteran on the team, because they don't know how many ups and downs they have been through, what have they not seen?

House passes to the big baby on the inside, and he runs up, he's also a shooter, and his accuracy outside the three-point range is very high, although not as scary as Ray Allen, but it's also very good.

The big baby has a strong inner line, Asik resisted the big fat man to the death, and said in his heart, "The strength of this big fat man is really great, and the chest is hit and I feel the slightest pain"

The big baby directly pressed hard, Asik instantly responded to the end, and the big baby was instantly stunned, holding the ball and looking at Asik lying on the ground with his eyes at a loss.

Just when the big baby was at a loss, the Cavaliers' Szebiak immediately came up and took the ball out of the big baby's hand, he is also a veteran, as long as the referee does not blow the whistle on the basketball court, the game does not stop, but is going on.

The big baby looked at Szzerbiak's back and shouted, "You shameless guy, I'll rely on" After scolding, he looked at the referee twice, expecting the referee to blow the whistle, but the referee ignored him directly, but turned his gaze to Szebiak.

House looked at the big baby Davis speechlessly, slowly spit out two words "idiot" from his mouth, and then ran towards the other half.

When Szzczebiak stole the ball and launched a counterattack, Tony Allen also immediately retreated, because Tony Allen was younger than Szzambiak, so he had an advantage in speed, and he was good at defense, so he quickly caught up with Szzambiak.

For Tony Allen to catch up with him, Szzerbiak didn't have any expression on his face and suddenly stopped outside the three-point line. And Tony Allen didn't expect the opponent to stop outside the three-point line without going inside, so Tony Allen had no way to stop his footsteps, and could only helplessly watch Szzczebiak shoot the basketball in his hand.

"Go for my favorite basketball, my favorite point, I'm sure you won't let me down," Szebiak said to himself at the moment of the shot.

Everyone was watching the result of this three-point stop.

Brush, hollow into the net, this is Szzebiak's second three-pointer in the game so far, and he has made two shots, with a 100% shooting rate.

After that, the Cavaliers bench was full of morale and defended the next few offenses of the Celtics, but the Cavaliers did not make much achievements in offensive defense, but it was enough.

When the third quarter ended with the Cavaliers trailing the Celtics by just two points, the result came as a surprise to Brown.
