Chapter 43: Will the Victory Continue?
For Pierce's laughter, James directly chose to ignore it, isn't it just a three-point? As for this?
James, who returned to halftime, rarely asked Huang Jun directly, Huang Jun understood this very well, obviously Pierce stimulated him just now. Of course, Huang Jun would not have any hesitation in this regard, and directly passed the basketball in his hand to James.
"Thank you" James, who received the ball with both hands, said thank you, and then rushed directly towards Pierce, James burst strongly, Pierce was indeed very difficult to defend, and could only keep retreating towards the back. And he retreated, James naturally rushed forward, and when it was almost the three-second zone, James directly took Pierce as the axis and made a sharp turn, which instantly reduced Pierce's defense to zero.
Then James burst out and jumped high outside the three-second zone, and at this moment no one dared to defend James, not even Perkins, who was very good at defense. Obviously, everyone knows about James's violence, and it is absolutely impossible to stop James' dunk unless you come to a fierce foul.
Such a foul is obviously not cost-effective, so the Celtics' interior line formed a tacit understanding at this moment, and everyone did not defend James's violent dunk, after landing, James turned his head to look at Pierce behind him, and also smiled slightly, obviously this smile was in return for Pierce's smile just now.
Pierce naturally chose to ignore this and rushed directly towards the half, and when he arrived at the half, Pierce did not ask his teammates like James, but turned to run. Rondo saw that Pierce didn't mean to ask for it, so he didn't choose to pass the ball to Pierce, but seriously organized the team's offense.
All the Celtic players are running like crazy at this moment. Rondo saw all this, and suddenly Rondo started directly, rushing madly towards the inside line, facing the human shield between Asik and Huang Jun, Rondo found a small passing space in the human gap, and directly passed the basketball in his hand towards this gap, and directly passed it to Ray Allen, who had just run to the bottom corner.
Ray Allen, who received the ball with both hands, did not hesitate to make a three-point shot. Huang Jun, who was watching this scene, looked at Rondo with an incredible face, and a question arose in his mind, how did he find out that Lei Allen was in that corner? It was as if he had known where Ray Allen would appear, it was incredible.
Huang Jun rarely praises people, let alone a defender, if Rondo knows that Huang Jun praises him so much in his heart, he doesn't know how happy he is, if Huang Jun says it out of his mouth, he will definitely think that Huang Jun is attacking him and sarcastically mocking him.
Then, twenty seconds later, it was the turn of the Celtics to attack again. Rondo's eyes swept around with the ball, as if the entire half was imprinted into his eyes, looking around with an unforgettable look, and then Rondo started again, facing Huang Jun's defense, Rondo still chose to force a breakthrough, although Huang Jun's ability at the defensive end is very good, but in the face of such a forced breakthrough, he can only resist Rondo's breakthrough to the death, and can't do much.
The same moves, the same tricks, Rondo once again made the last show repeat, the ball passed to the hands of Ray Allen in the bottom corner again, and Ray Allen, who received the pass, made a three-point shot again, and he was still so confident in his three-point shot. Brush, another three-point hit. Ray Allen hit two three-pointers in the bottom corner in a row under Rondo's wonderful pass, further narrowing the score gap, which is undoubtedly a very good sign for Celtic.
In the face of the enemy's defense, Huang Jun continued to harvest the opponent's life on the inside line as if he had a military thorn in his hand, one after another, when there was only one person defending him in the end, Huang Jun jumped up directly without any hesitation, and in the face of the opponent's block, Huang Jun directly dodged in the air, and then dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
The scene instantly erupted in deafening cheers, everyone knows how difficult this ball is, although the game only played for a few minutes, but this short few minutes brought them several difficult and exciting dunks, which made them call the tickets for this game worth it.
The next game, has been going back and forth, until the last three minutes of the second quarter, the Cavaliers led the Celtics by five points at this time, the two teams played quite wonderful in the second quarter of the game, energetic dunks, energetic air relay relays, and God's accurate three-point, constantly staged, so that all the viewers who watched this game were very enjoyable.
It's been a long time since they've seen such a good game, and this game is one that a lot of people are paying a lot of attention to. The most important thing is that the Cavaliers have won 22 games in a row before this game, and almost everyone wants to see if the Cavaliers can break the 22-game winning streak created by the Rockets last year with the second longest winning streak in the league.
And the performance of the Cavaliers in this game did not disappoint them, although the first half of the game is not over, but all fans are very satisfied with the first half of the game. If they win 23 in a row easily, they will think that this kind of game is not good, so the rhythm of this game completely falls into their hands, how can such a game not make them excited?
Huang Jun held the ball, stepped forward with his left foot, followed with his right foot, and rushed towards the Celtics' inside line. Garnett and Perkins naturally quit, jumping high at the same time, and at the same time fanning the basketball in Huang Jun's hand with one hand.
Bang, snap, the sound of two hands hitting the arm sounded, and it was naturally impossible for the referee to let go of such an obvious foul. You must know that before this game, Huang Jun had already reached an agreement with Stern, so no matter whether this foul is obvious or not, this referee will blow it, because from now on Huang Jun will also have his own star whistle.
Although Huang Jun is very disdainful of such a thing, don't give anything to the door in vain. This kind of thing is not bad for him or anything, so he naturally accepts it with a smile.
Huang Jun, who was standing at the free throw line, hit both free throws without any accidents. They don't know when Huang Jun will be able to miss this free throw?
Immediately afterwards, a pass from Eddie House was directly cut off by Huang Jun, and a very fast dunk was completed again, and the score difference was once again pulled to nine points by Huang Jun, such a point difference must not be big for the Celtics, but it is very big for the current two teams. After all, no matter which team it is, both teams are very good teams, and no one dares to be 100% sure that they can win each other.
In the last minute or so, players on both sides spent the last minute or so, and neither team hit any shots, so that the score between the two sides was finally locked at 61-52 in the first half, with the Cavaliers in front, and the Cavaliers led the Celtics by nine points at home.
Huang Jun scored 15 points and seven assists in the half, and Rondo, who was opposite him, scored six points and eight assists. It is conceivable that in this game, Huang Jun paid more attention to the offense, which led to his score being much higher than his offense in the half, and also allowing Rondo's assists in the half to surpass him.
Another group of very concerned counterpoints is naturally the alignment of James and Pierce, Pierce's performance in the half is not so good, but it can be regarded as a decent performance, Pierce got thirteen points and three rebounds in the half, and James got sixteen points, five rebounds and four assists of all-round data, obviously James is better than Pierce in both scoring and rebounding, it can be said that the confrontation between the two in the first half is James Pierce.
This kind of takeover is expected by everyone, and everyone knows that the current James is the best small forward in the entire league. So Pierce was completely blown up by James, which was not a surprise to the Cavaliers fans at the scene.
In the half-time break, Brown on the Cavaliers' side took the lead and said, "I am very satisfied with your half-time performance, although the difference is not much, but it is not easy for us." It's all because of your excellent performance that we were able to lead by nine points at half-time. ”
"Our task in the second half was to keep the nine points and try to widen the gap so we could win the game. It's okay if we can't pull it away, but don't let the third quarter of the second half erase our lead by the opponent, and if it does, then it will be difficult for us in the fourth quarter. ”
Everyone nodded, signaling that they knew. Then Brown seriously laid out the tactics for the next second half of the game, whether it is the players or the coaches, everyone needs to win this game.
The victory will definitely be counted in the end, all the players said in their hearts at the same time.
