Chapter 372 The second round of the series, against the Celtics
Therefore, in the last moments of the game, the Bulls also went to the game with full strength, putting on their toughest defense and putting on an iron wall.
Everyone spares no effort and it's an important match that makes it a matter of whether they go home fishing after this game or if they can continue to play.
It can also be said that the efforts of the whole team in a season have all been converted into this game, or this attack, this time the attack can be successful, then they can continue, if not, then unfortunately, they will be eliminated and unable to advance.
This is true for both the Celtics and the Bulls.
This game is also about whether they can qualify or not.
Therefore, in the middle of the game, they also went to the game with full energy.
The game is in full swing.
The Chicago Bulls also put all their energy into this quarter of the game, and they tried to defend the Celtics in this round of defense.
The Celtic side is also constantly looking for opportunities, and they also cherish this opportunity very much.
The serve could not be served, and it was also a chance to consume all the timeouts of the Celtics.
They didn't pause.
The Bulls are also putting all their defensive focus on this defense, defending, defending, defending, and defending.
Constant rotation, constant rotation, constant fill-in, nevertheless, the Celtic side also seized the opportunity, and they finally gave the ball away. Moreover. It was in the hands of Pierce.
Pierce catches the ball.
Pierce catches the ball. When the ball is in his hands, there are not many 24 seconds left to attack, only 8 seconds left.
Moreover, the people on the Bulls' side are still eyeing him, and all the people on the Bulls are also looking at him with blazing eyes. They look as if they want to eat Pierce, and what can be met is that as long as Pierce moves slightly, then the bull's side is endless.
They weren't going to let Pierce attack their own basket so easily.
The Bulls' inside line also became crowded, blocking the Celtics' inside line alive.
Blocked alive.
What can be met is that once Pierce wants to rush into the Celtics' interior box, then they are definitely dead, and they also conclude that the only way for the Celtics is to tear through the Bulls' defense, at least to get a free throw opportunity.
They expected Pierce to shoot a three-pointer, but they were wrong.
Moreover, it is extremely wrong. In this world, there is really nothing that Pierce does not dare to do. Or rather, there's really nothing Pierce wouldn't dare to do on the basketball court.
Pierce held the ball outside the three-point line, dribbling left and right, shaking, looking for opportunities, and suddenly there was a shaking, as if it was going to rush towards the Bulls' interior line, to grab two points, however, it didn't.
Pierce didn't do this, but, in addition to shaking, Pierce suddenly operated the ball, this action was also extremely sudden, which made people unbelievable, and at this moment, Pierce also held the ball directly, rose from the ground, shot directly, and shot very suddenly.
No one thought that Pierce, who had always been calm, would be so domineering and adventurous.
They never imagined that at a moment like the game, Pierce would come to such a risky shot, which was too unexpected for them.
However, what they didn't expect was that Pierce's ball was also extremely confident, with a domineering spirit of heaven and earth, and a sharp edge that no one put in their eyes or hearts.
Basketball shot, turn around directly, don't look at it, directly raise your hands high, ready to celebrate, except for Arenas, I'm afraid that if you dare to do this, it's just him Pierce.
Pierce did this, if he didn't score, he would have been beaten, or he would have been sprayed to death, but he was not sprayed to death.
Not only was he not sprayed to death, but he was also praised to death.
If this kind of ball is scored, it is awesome, and if it is not scored, it will be scolded to death.
The final result is that the basketball rolls out from the tip of Pierce's index finger, the basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air, the basketball cuts through the sky, and finally, a head smashes into the basket, making a crisp sound of "shabu", the ball goes in, and the basketball directly stirs up a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket, and the ball goes in.
Pierce hit a shot at this crucial moment.
He was destined to be praised to death.
This goal is related to the final outcome of the game, if the game is won by Celtics in the end, then Pierce's shot at the whistle this time will also be one of the biggest highlights of the game.
Pierce's goal that decided the outcome of the game was a shot, but that didn't stop Pierce or Pierce, and he knew that the Celtics were only 2 points ahead, and the game wasn't over yet.
The key to winning or losing the game was also reflected at this moment.
Although, the Celtic side also overtook the score at the critical moment, however, they did not slack off at the most critical moment of the game, without any stop, at the last moment of the game, they also had full strength to play, although the Celtic side still has a lot of shortcomings, but in the final moment of the game they finally held this crucial goal,
Guarding this ball to the death, guarding this ball.
And they succeeded.
After the whistle blew at halftime, the Celtics still did not let them overtake the score, and in the end, on their home court, the Celtics also guarded the tiebreaker, and finally won the game in this crucial seventh game.
In the end, the final victory of the game was sealed on their home turf.
And after this game, the Pacers' opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals was also determined.
They're the Boston Celtics.
On their home turf, in the end, defeated the Chicago Bulls. Obviously, this is also extremely exciting. It's very exciting.
It's also what makes them excited. Inexplicably excited.
Naturally, they also went crazy and began to speak loudly.
When asked by a reporter if Pierce could have predicted that he would be able to overtake the score even after falling behind 3-1?
"Yes. We can predict that. I don't think I'm going to lose to the Bulls because we're the strongest. ”
Pierce, who hit the key shot, also let go after the game.
What he said was also extremely fierce, a bit of an afterthought.
However, the winner is king, and there is no way to do it, who let the Celtics win?
In this day and age, winning is the last word, you only have to win. Then you can convince others.
If you can't get the results you can take, if you can't get the results you can take, then you don't have the slightest right to speak, you don't have the slightest right to speak, you don't have the slightest right to speak.
There is no right to speak.
Such ruthless words are released, and the bull, as the loser, does not have the slightest power to speak.
Although the Celtics did win, this is not a reason for their hubris.
What they should understand is that a mountain is higher than a mountain.
Their victory was only temporary.
Because it's the Pacers they're about to face. The King's Division, the Walker, this is not something to mess with.
But. The arrogant Celtics said, to be exact, it was Pierce, the guy who was slashed seventeen times, rested for two months and continued to play, a very hanging guy, and he also said in an interview, "As long as we are in shape, then we are confident that we can beat any team." ”
"Walkers? Are Walkers strong? ”
"I don't think so. I think Celtic can beat them. ”
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of any opponent, whoever the opponent is, it's the same in my opinion."
"It doesn't matter who your opponent is."
&&&&
His words naturally could not anger the soldiers of the Pacers, and even if they were provoked, they would not fight back verbally, but with actual actions.
Because after they have followed the fat man for a long time, they have also learned the fat man's common method of defeating the opponent and counterattacking the opponent.
Don't fight back with words, but with actual actions.
Because one of their firm beliefs is that if a mad dog is clamoring to bark at you, I believe you will not bark back, but go to the neighborhood to find a fruit knife and stab it directly, and the rest will be troublesome, which is not good for you, and it is not good for other people.
Isn't that the truth?
Therefore, for the provocation of the Celtics, no one on the Pacers' side paid attention, contempt, naked ~ contempt.
It's not taken seriously at all, it's not at all a thing.
They can say whatever they like, and they don't care about it.
However, the Pacers players don't ask, this doesn't mean that the Pacers can swallow their anger, and those who support the Pacers will not let go of this group of arrogant guys like this.
After Pierce issued such a public opinion, as a loyal fan of the Pacers, to be exact, a loyal fan of the fat man, when he knew that Pierce was hanging like this, in fact, it was nothing, as long as Pierce could be a man, put a few tables, get a few bottles of good wine, and apologize, this thing was easy to do.
You take the initiative to admit your mistake, and there is something that is not easy to solve.
That's a big deal.
But this man is wandering in the way.
You can't lose this face.
Pierce, of course, quit.
It's no wonder Barkley, you're hanging, aren't you?
Lao Tzu doesn't hack you.
For this group of Eastern Conference semifinals matchups, *** famous commentator Charles Barkley believes that the Pacers will sweep the Celtics to enter the Eastern Conference Finals.
Barkley is not messing around, but gives extremely sufficient, extremely sufficient reasons:
"The Pacers have the best defensive players attacking Sledgehammer Chan and have the best head coach. They're going to win the series. There is no doubt about it. ”
"If nothing else, the Pacers have one of the toughest players in the league, Sledgehammer Chen, and in terms of the richness of their arsenal, the Pacers are better than the Celtics, especially on the bench.
"The Pacers have more offensive weapons than any team in the league, mind you, I'm talking about any of them," Barkley said, "and they have multiple weapon configurations on the bench, and they have ....... ”
Barkley believes that the key to this series will be in the depth of the squad.
"Walkers are very scary, pay attention to my pronunciation, they are, but-scary-of."
Barkley's partner, Kenny Smith, rarely responds in the affirmative to Barkley's words, but, on this issue, he says:
"I agree with some of Charles's points, at least for Chen, that he can take down anyone's defense on the offensive end." Kenny Smith said.
……
It was very noisy outside, but inside the Pacers turned a deaf ear to it, as if they didn't know about it.
Is it because at a critical moment in the playoffs, in order to avoid affecting the mood of the team, Carlisle deliberately does not let the team's players receive external information?
Of course, it's not.
If that's the case, then this season when the NBA officially announced that the Pacers' coach Carlisle is the best coach in the NBA this season, they won't know it for the first time.
It would be to say that there are any players who are barred from receiving outside information because of the playoffs.
This is nonsense.
The main reason is that they don't want to pay attention to some irrelevant information from the outside world.
Sure enough, according to the results of this year's Coach of the Year, the top five scorers were: Carlisle (381 points), Popovich (335 points), and Rally Brown (166 points).
Carlisle received 64 of the 130 first-place ballots this year.
The Cavaliers have not been favored since Carlisle coached the Pacers.
A lot of people are also questioning his coaching ability, thinking that his coaching quality is problematic, and even now, they think it's problematic.
Even with 72 wins, the Pacers this season.
However, many people also think that Carlisle should not be voted the best manager, and they think that whoever coaches such a team with such a big star can win and achieve such an impressive record.
Carlisle doesn't deserve this trophy, he doesn't deserve it, and he doesn't deserve it.
They also think that neither Popovich nor anyone else is more qualified than him to win this trophy, but Carlisle is not qualified.
Therefore, many people are not optimistic.
However, the reporter's eyes are still bright.
It is undeniable that the fat man is very capable, but how do you know that Carlisle is not capable?
Being elected Coach of the Year is the best commendation and proof for Carlisle.
(This is already the 27th, the big guy will give a monthly pass to support it.) Give me some motivation. )
