Doug Rivers was really a good coach and came up with a complete plan against Horn in the second quarter.

He started by making a substitution to defend Horn, replacing the bulky big baby with Paul Pearce, the Celtics' iconic surname.

After Pierce came out, he stuck to Horn, delayed Horn everywhere, ran with Horn, didn't let Horn play his speed, and then asked O'Neal Jr. to watch the position under the basket and not let Horn cut or go up blue.

Both of these defensive setups were very simple, but they were very successful in limiting Horn.

As Jeff Van Gundy said, the current Horn is still too single, and he can contain Horn in a simple way.

In the second quarter, Horn had no room to play, and could only desperately grab 3 rebounds.

Ball saw Horn restrained by the opponent on the sidelines, and replaced Horn after a while.

Horn didn't do anything in the second quarter, but it got Mike Green excited.

He said excitedly: "Horn played well in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, the Celtics changed the situation with a little attention. This shows that Horn is not difficult to deal with, and can be stopped with a little attention. ”

"Horn is still a role player at heart, and he doesn't have a star surname just because he says big things. It is estimated that in the next game, he will be useless! ”

Mike Green continues to binge-black Horn on the one hand to cater to entertainment and on the other hand because he is an Anthony fan.

Targeted by the Celtics for half a quarter, Horn wasn't too annoyed after he went off the court. Anyway, he has also played in the NBA for a while, and knowing that being defended by the opponent is actually a compliment. The average role player will never get that kind of treatment.

But Horn wasn't annoyed, and that doesn't mean he'll settle for a good first quarter. In Horn's mind, he was still constantly thinking about how he would play next, it would definitely not work to be controlled by the Celtics, and how he could get rid of the Celtics' defense.

Horn thought about it a lot, but he still didn't have a good solution. He's just a player, not a coach, and Horn hasn't been very tactically focused before.

He didn't think of a countermeasure at all, he could only say to himself in his heart: "I can only run more, play harder, and be more active to have more opportunities!" ”

It was clumsy for Horn to come up with such a method, but it was a method that would definitely work. The more hard work you have on the pitch, the more opportunities you have.

At the end of the first half, the Celtics beat the Hornets by six points 47-41, which was not a big difference, but the Celtics were able to win the game by this small margin because they were more focused on defense.

At halftime, ESPN replayed Horn's 11 points in two minutes. But Mike Green still didn't forget to add a sentence later: "After the Celtics focused on defense in the second quarter, Horn did nothing." ”

Anthony's Nuggets team didn't play today, so Anthony watched the first half of the Celtics and Hornets when he was bored.

Yesterday, although Anthony made a look that his brother is a star who is not as familiar as you, it is absolutely impossible to say that Anthony is really indifferent. Anyone who encounters a challenge will mind.

Anthony actually minded Horne too, so he made a point to watch the Hornets game today. Horn's performance in the first quarter did surprise Anthony a lot, and he was a little worried, but he was relieved to see Horn's performance in the second quarter.

Horn's performance in the second quarter made Anthony understand that Horn is still a player with a fresh move, and he can't compare to himself at all. So Anthony watched half of the game, and in the second half, he didn't have the heart to watch it, so he turned off the TV and went to do something else.

Coming back in the second half, the strength of the Celtics' old powerhouse team finally came out. The team's cooperation is becoming more and more skillful, Garnett on the inside continues to use his height advantage to score on Okafor's head, Pierce also uses his ass to torture Ariza constantly, coupled with Ray Allen's cold arrows, Rondo's long hands and feet limit Paul.

The Hornets fell very quickly in the third quarter, and by the break in the third quarter, the Celtics led the Hornets by 13 points at 73:60. Let the old Celtics blast 70 points in the second quarter and a half, and the Celtics basically won such a game.

Ball's eyes are red at this time, mainly because the Hornets can't afford to lose, they are currently 5 wins away from eighth, and the regular season is over with only 20 games left, and every game in the future is what the Hornets must strive for, and they must not give up easily today.

Ball gasped and looked at the bench, and finally said to Horn ruthlessly: "Horn, you go and replace Okafor!" ”

Ball actually traded Horn for Okafor at this time, which was a huge risk. His assistant Tony looked at Ball in shock.

Jason Smith and Aaron, who were waiting on the bench, looked at Ball together, because Ball has been taking Horn too seriously lately. Whenever the team has problems, he will almost be the first to go on Horn when he goes on the rotation. In this way, Horn almost became the first man on the bench.

Horn moved a little and immediately came out.

The trio who were watching the game on the sidelines were surprised to see that the Hornets were the first to replace Horne, Van Gundy, Mark Jackson, and Mike Green.

At this time, Mike Green was the first to say: "Ball is such a strange coach! In the second quarter, the Celtics already have a way to contain Horn, and he still wants to go to Horn at this time, so what's the point! Horn is just a well-researched role player, and he overestimates Horn! ”

Mike Green naturally belittled Horn, Jeff Van Gundy is indeed rigid, but also very objective, at this time he said: "Horn was indeed contained in the second quarter, but it cannot be denied that Horne's energy and mobility surname is greater than Okafor, at this time the Hornets are at a disadvantage, and they still need some mobile surnames." ”

Mark Jackson also said objectively: "I also think that Horn can be played, even if Horn can't attack successfully, his speed is also a constraint for the Celtics." And Ball's letting Horn play center instead of power forward also has a deep meaning, if the team's center can play fast break, their offensive and defensive conversion quality will definitely improve. ”

Mike Green didn't expect his two partners to quietly turn to Horn, so he stopped talking.

Horn got on the pitch, gave Paul a cover on the first shot, and then ran straight into the box.

Garnett, who was in the penalty area, saw Horn coming, and immediately greeted Horn with a strong card position.

"Hey! Boy, be honest on my turf! ”

Garnett stuck Horn behind him, and Horn stuck his head on Garnett's arm as much as he could, and pressed Garnett's arm.

Back on the court for the first round, Horn encountered a lot of intensity.
