Rivers praised the Pacers' strength as he began to make substitutions. If Li Cheng and Granger are allowed to behave on the court, maybe they won't be able to hold back after they are all high.

Pierce and Garnett were substituted, and Ray Allen, who had been battling Lee for a full quarter, continued to rest off the court.

Rivers was a little annoyed that the Pacers were able to take the lead in two minutes. However, at this time, he did not continue to ask the team to strengthen the defense. His order to Garnett and Pierce was to attack!

Since the Pacers' morale is mobilized by the offense, then we will use the offense to suppress them back.

To be honest, the Pacers' strength is really not taken seriously by Rivers. If the Celtics had pulled out the momentum of the Finals, the Pacers could have collapsed at halftime. But now, Rivers has to take care of the physical fitness of the Big Three while ensuring the team's victory.

This is perhaps the hardest question to ask as a coach for the Celtics.

Their goal is to win the championship, but the marathon-like length of the regular season and the playoffs are all battles.

If the Celtics spread their flowers and play, they might be able to sweep all of their opponents before the Finals. But at that time, the Celtics met the Lakers in the Finals, so it would be difficult for them.

So, play slowly in the playoffs, find problems, and keep your body. Going to the finals and then bursting out with all your might, this can definitely bring the opponent the thrill of an instant explosion. And then, just go and win the game. After the game, I will rest, and the problems that arise will be left to the next season to be solved.

For such an ordinary game, Celtic is more likely to play in different ways, and by the way, find some problems. Therefore, now the Pacers can stabilize the situation by relying on Li Cheng's play alone, because they are going all out, and the opponent is not using all his strength.

However, the Celtics' style of play is very dangerous, and generally speaking, the Celtics' style of play is like this. It requires extreme self-confidence. Sometimes, if you are not careful, the team will fall into a situation from which it will never recover.

But this approach can uncover some of the problems that can help the team gradually improve on the road to the playoffs and eventually win the championship. This is a double-edged sword, if it is operated well, it can hurt countless enemies, and if it is not operated well, it can only make you regret it for life.

How could O'Brien and Hart not be able to see the Celtics' minds? So, they think this could be an opportunity for the Pacers to upset their opponents in this series.

"The first few games. You have to go all out to win! O'Brien thought to himself. The pain in his own heart is known only to him. Why doesn't he want to win this series? So he had to take any chance.

At this moment, Pierce and Garnett have already started their attack.

"Do you want to attack?" Li Cheng licked his lips, his heart full of excitement. What he loves most is to fight a hearty battle with his opponent.

Pierce's huge ass pressed against Granger, and after squeezing twice, Pierce immediately turned around and shot. Granger, there was nothing he could do about Pierce's shot.

"Pierce is a man who claims to be an offensive kaleidoscope. His individual offense leaves his opponent helpless. ”

"If the Pacers want to win, they have to rely on their sharp offense. The most impressive thing about the Pacers in all this time has been their offense. Their forward attack group with Li as the core is really sharp. ”

First quarter of the game. Li Cheng's opponent is Ray Allen. Now he defines his opponent as Pierce. He's going to fight Pierce!

"Danny, don't waste your body too much against Pierce, we have to keep our energy to attack. If we want to win against the Green Shirts, we have to attack. ”

"Hmm!" Granger nodded. There was also a solemn glint in his eyes.

The Celtics are the toughest opponents the Pacers have faced so far. Especially in this playoff environment right now. The Pacers must grab the one qiē factor they can to add weight to their victory. In the face of such a powerful opponent, sometimes one wrong step is a catastrophe.

"We have to take advantage of this opportunity!" Li Cheng said secretly in his heart.

Pierce had just scored a goal, and Lee Cheng decided to return the favor with a goal right away.

Li Cheng settled in the front court, and Granger immediately threw the ball to Li Cheng after attracting the opponent's defense, "Kill them!" ”

Li Cheng held the ball, turned around and faced the frame, and the action was done in one go. He faced James Posey's defence, took a big step out, and then turned and pulled the ball to Posey's flank.

Posey was on his left, and Li Cheng floated hard to the right, dodging Posey's block and shooting.

Like all those who had defended Li Cheng, a sense of powerlessness rose in Posey's heart. Can you score such a shot? This is obviously unscientific! But with such a shot, he just scored.

Rivers sighed on the sidelines, and in his heart he had already given Li Cheng a definition, "Such a player, except for using the strength of the team to limit him, it is almost impossible to limit him in one-on-one." ”

The Celtics' offense began, and the Celtics fans in the stadium began to cheer. Before, they had been reserved, but now they couldn't help it.

Perhaps in this league, the fans in Los Angeles are the most reserved, they consider themselves aristocratic and they don't like to make noise for the fans in their home stadium. They never thought their team was going to lose, and even if they lost, it was only temporary.

But Celtics fans are different, their toughness and madness are rare in the league.

The fans were cheering, and the Celtics were getting even more on the field.

Pierce got the ball in the bag, and then he threw the ball to the basket, and Garnett's strong bounce ability was on full display, and he grabbed the ball with both hands, and a violent dunk caused a burst of exclamations from the fans.

The role of a dunk on the basketball court is not just to help the team score two points, it is a blow to the morale of the opponent, and at the same time it can boost the morale of your own team.

Morale is something that can't be seen or touched, but it's real.

Next, the Celtics began a frantic attack.

Slowly, the main players of both sides returned to the field. But the purpose of the Celtics' offensive spree hasn't changed, and it's clear that Rivers wants to use the Pacers to hone his team's offense.

In the offensive battle, let the weaknesses of your team's offensive end slowly be exposed, and then find a way to correct them.

The Celtics launched a very frantic attack, and the Pacers naturally refused to show weakness in the attack. The Twin Stars of India City began to shine brightly, but there was still a certain gap between the two of them and the Big Three of the Green Shirts.

Pierce disrupted the Pacers' front line, while Ray three-pointers hit the Pacers' defense again and again.

Garnett is on the inside, and he is even more holes in the Pacers' inside.

The Big Three completely broke through the three lines of the Pacers.

The Pacers can only rely on Lee Cheng and Granger to launch an offensive line at the front, and their offense is frantic and full of firepower. The Celtics' forward line was beaten by Li Cheng and Granger combined.

No matter who they are facing one-on-one, they can always understand the tacit understanding between the two of them, understand some ball transitions and runs, find the best place to shoot, and then shoot.

The scores of the two teams began to skyrocket, but the Pacers couldn't take the lead in such an attack. This is an unprecedented first for the Pacers.

Even the offensive firepower was suppressed by the opponent with offense, which was undoubtedly very lethal for the Pacers.

O'Brien and Hart discussed it again, but they couldn't figure out what to do. At this point, the Pacers are already trailing by 6 points.

Hart glanced at the scoreboard worriedly, hesitated for a moment and said, "Take Foster down!" He was on the inside, and he couldn't guard Garnett at all. ”

O'Brien's heart tightened, "Is that really the only way to go?" ”

"We can only replace Mike, open up our offensive space, and use crazy shots to score with the opponent."

"Li Cheng and Danny's feel is very good today, but it's still too gambling!"

This is another weakness of O'Brien, who is always a bit indecisive when it matters most. However, sometimes when there is a constant interruption, it is chaotic!

It was O'Brien's hesitation that put the Pacers in a complete crisis.

Ray Allen was on a hot spot today, and this was his third shot from beyond the three-point line today, and his third three-pointer of the day.

Ray made three three-pointers and made three three-pointers, and he had already scored 13 points.

After Ray Allen's three-pointer, Garnett blocked Tinsley's signature hook shot.

Garnett took the ball in his arms after the block, and in an instant he threw the ball to Rondo, who was already sweeping back.

The young Rondo was unusually fast, and he was already in front of everyone.

After receiving the ball, Rondo did not choose to go to the basket by himself, and he and Ray were a pair of good friends. Ray Allen has been able to provide him with at least three assists per game.

Hitting the basket, Rondo looks back for Ray Allen. At this time, Ray had hit the three-point line with three points, Rondo flicked his wrist softly, and Ray Allen took the ball and shot.

Li Cheng desperately wanted to block, but still didn't stop Ray Allen's shot.

Ray Allen hit another three-pointer for another three-pointer.

At 44-56, the difference between the two teams reached double digits for the first time. At this time, there were still 3 minutes left before the end of the second quarter. O'Brien had to call a timeout to cool down Ray Allen's hot hand and change tactics by the way.

At this time, O'Brien, who had hesitated for a long time, finally made a decision in his heart. If it's not crazy, it's dead. I can only go crazy, maybe there is hope! (To be continued......)
