Chapter 105: Three to Zero
readx; The second half of the game started very quickly, and the difference of eight points was not much, as long as you played well, then it only took a few minutes to recover. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Celtics players at the scene, after coming back from the locker room, looked a little better on their faces than they had at the end of the first half, and it was clear that Rivers must have said yes in the locker room at halftime.
At the beginning of the second half, Huang Jun held the ball, used his speed advantage to kill directly to the basket, and then threw the ball high in the face frame. Then there was a bang, and I saw that James was already hanging on the basket at this time. Huang Jun's intention in this ball is very obvious, that is, to break through to attract the opponent's attention or wrap, and then at this critical moment, the basketball is directly passed into the air. And James, who cut in from the side, jumped high in the air at this moment to relay.
It can't be helped, this kind of attack was played out a lot in the first half. But the Celtic players never found a solution to this combination. If you don't help defend Huang Jun, then there is also no solution here, if you go to help defend, then this is the kind of cooperation, so the current way of attacking gives the Celtics a feeling of insolvability. If they can't find a solution, it will be very difficult for them to win the Knights.
came back to Pierce to attack James, because of James' strong defense, Pierce's next mid-range jumper hit the iron directly. The rebound was taken by James, and then immediately passed the ball to Huang Jun's hands. Huang Jun, who received the ball, ran directly towards the opponent's basket without any accidents, and in his opinion, now is an excellent opportunity to counterattack.
"Even if these Celtics want to stop my fast attack?" Huang Jun, who was in the fast attack, looked at the defender who only had two people in front of him and said disdainfully in his heart. Then there was a sharp acceleration, and with a brush, he came directly to a step in front of the two. Just when everyone focused on Huang Jun, Huang Jun's footsteps did not stop and directly hit the two people, and at the same time jumped up and threw the basketball in his hand.
The referee's whistle blew at the same time, and the Celtics player was directly awarded a foul, and the ball was still a two-plus-one. This penalty immediately caused dissatisfaction among all the Celtics players, including the head coach and the fans at the scene, who booed directly at the referee, but the referee ignored them and still insisted on the original decision. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the foul decision, and all three referees agreed that the foul was definitely a blocking foul and not an offensive collision foul.
Long ago, Huang Jun had seen their position clearly, and their position was impossible to cause a direct offensive foul. So he didn't hesitate to hit them, and even if he hit them in such a position, he focused his attention on the basketball and the basket in his hand. Because his goal is two plus one, only in this way can the difference be further widened. Sure enough, the referee's eyes were not confused, and he gave the opponent a blocking foul very decisively.
Two plus one hit, and then the Celtics made a mistake on the defensive end, and the basketball was directly cut off by James, and at the same time, James' body rushed straight out. In an instant, he copied the ball into his hand, and the trend was a fast attack and violent dunk. There was a timeout on the scene immediately, and the Celtics couldn't do it without a timeout, and they were directly beaten by the Cavaliers with a 7-0 small * at the beginning, and the point difference instantly pulled from eight points to the current fifteen. If we can't stop this momentum, then this game may collapse immediately.
All the fans in the stadium were nervous at this moment, because the score on the field was very bad for their team now. It's hard not to be nervous, they hope that Celtic can win this game, so that as long as they win the next game, then the big score will be a draw. But looking at the current trend, the Celtics are likely to suffer a three-game losing streak and thus fall 3-0 behind the Cavaliers in the big score. If that's the case, then it will be even more difficult for the Celtics to come back and reach the Finals. So they hope that the team they support will have a good change in the coming time.
After the pause, the Celtics completely lost the momentum they had when they came out of the locker room just now, and everyone had more or less frustration on their faces, which may not be a big difference, but it was undoubtedly the biggest blow to their morale. In just a few minutes, they were given a wave of attack by the other party. It has knocked down their original strong morale. How can they still have the confidence to win the next game, the reversal?
However, they are the champions after all, and although the morale is not so high, they still do very well in attack and defense. In the rest of the day, they just need to use a certain ball to get their morale back. But it's not so easy to find morale. Not only the players know this, but the fans know it too.
Next, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, followed by a 24-second foul by the Cavaliers. Then Pierce hit a three-pointer on the left. Then one of James' layups was fouled directly by Perkins. Despite the scores, the morale and fire of the Celtics were already gradually increasing, and when there were three minutes left in the third quarter, the Celtics were chasing down the deficit by only eight points. However, the situation is still not so good for Celtic.
With three minutes left in the third quarter, the Celtics replaced the bench players, but it was their bench players who made them only have a nine-point weak point difference, and they were instantly pulled to 13 points by the Cavaliers, and this point difference was maintained until the end of the third quarter. This situation makes Celtic very helpless, they can't stop their players from resting, right? If they don't rest, then in the next games, they will lack physical energy, and they will not be able to play at critical moments. So Rivers knew that such a situation might happen, but he still chose to let his main players take a good rest.
At the end of the third quarter, 85-72, the Cavaliers led the Celtics by 13 points on the road. By this time, all the fans' breathing had begun to get serious, and some people didn't even dare to watch the next game because they knew what was going to happen next. Although they were a little afraid to look at it, they still opened their eyes and watched the fourth quarter of the game on the court. At the same time, I kept praying in my heart, praying that my team would successfully turn the situation of the game around in the fourth quarter and finally win the game.
But the more they saw the end, the more disappointed they became, because the Celtics didn't complete the comeback in the final quarter as they had hoped. On the contrary, the score of the game became wider and wider as the game progressed, and when the score difference came to 20 points, the Celtics finally gave up the game. Although they are not willing to lose like this, the facts are in front of their eyes. They can only reluctantly accept such an ending. As the Celtics' main team gradually went down, the Cavaliers also replaced their main team, and finally at the end of the game, the Celtics lost by 17 points at home 93-110.
Such a score made the faces of their Celtics players very ugly, because their proud defense was completely unseen in this game. The game was 110 points, and it was in the playoffs. This undoubtedly proves that their Celtics do not have any defensive threat at all, and the opponents of the Cavaliers in the first two rounds are almost the same, and they are all swept lives. As soon as this sweep came out, many people were speculating whether this year's Celtics would be swept away?
If it is really swept by the knights, then it proves that the strength of the knights this year is very strong. The Celtics are about the same strength as last year, and last year's Cavaliers were no match for the Celtics at all. So this year, the strength of the knights will be very strong. Can it be said that this year's championship is the Cavaliers'? Many fans have begun to speculate in their own minds, and some people have done a special survey, and the results show that 90% of fans believe that this year's Cavaliers can win the championship.
This survey is also the highest in recent years, which is an affirmation of the strength of the knights, and the strength of the knights is seen by everyone. The Cleveland fans were thrilled at the thought that their team was likely to win the championship, because they had been waiting for this championship for a long time. With the exception of the finals in '07, they never had such hope. And this hope is infinitely magnified with the end of this game.
Not only are the fans playing this guessing game, but also the stars who have already gone home to fish are also playing this guessing game. Among them, Maddie of the Rockets tweeted that this year's Cavaliers will win the championship because they have not one superstar, but three, LeBron, Huang and Allen. As long as there are three of them on a team, then there is no way that the team will not win the championship.
Rose of the Bulls also spoke, "This year's championship is undoubtedly the Cavaliers', we have seen their strength, and the Celtics will not be the opponent of the Cavaliers at all." I don't really like Yellow, but they are the team with the best odds. "The Bulls have played seven games against the Celtics this season, and they certainly know a lot about the Celtics.
