(It's only 4,000 words today, it was already written, the original content was that the Celtics won seven wins, but after writing it, I found that there were many people in the comments who didn't accept losing to the Celtics, I probably asked my peers, and the answer given was that the Celtics were not very popular with fans, so losing to the Green Army was a bit poisonous, so I thought about it or rewrote this plot, but I want to state in advance that this year's champion is definitely not the Magic team, I'm a book writer not a remote control, I can't tell what the book friends say I'll come, This is less than 400,000 words, the protagonist can independently lead the team to win the championship, what else can I write to 670,000 words? Is it straightforward? I hope you will understand, and friends who really can't accept it can only tell you goodbye to the rivers and lakes. ）

June 2, TD North Shore Garden Arena, Boston.

The entire stadium was filled with a sea of green, and the noise of the spectators and fans on the pitch was like waves of the ocean.

"This battle is exaggerated enough."

Wang Chao looked at this scene and couldn't help shaking his head.

The Green Shirts are not in vain, they have experienced it three times before, and the three games that the Magic lost in the series were all on the home court of the Celtics.

Now, they are back on the stage with a score of 3:3, but the previous nervousness is gone, replaced by high morale.

As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.

When Celtic first scored 2:0, as long as they worked harder and tried to win an away victory, they could basically take away a wave of games.

However, Wang Chao scored 30+ points in two consecutive games, and the whole Magic team blossomed more in G6, so that the Celtics continued to miss match points until they were forced to the seventh game of life and death.

To be reasonable, even Wang Chao didn't expect the Magic team to be able to fight the Celtics to this extent at the beginning, and now that it has reached the battle of the seventh, he is also starting to move.

Fight hard, what if you really win?

The Magic's one-star shooting strategy has many shortcomings, such as relying too much on the feel of the outside shooter, Howard lacks absolute offensive ability on the inside, and once the outside shooter is dumb, he can't lead the team to attack with inside scoring.

But this tactic has an advantage, that is, when the outside shooters are on target, no matter how strong the team is, you can go up and punch the master to death.

The overall strength of the Magic team is definitely inferior to the Celtics, but now it is fighting with the Green Shirts to tie seven, relying on this.

Therefore, if this game, the Magic team can continue to continue the outside feel of the previous game, shoot a dozen or twenty three-pointers, and overturn the Celtics to reach the Finals!

The Celtic side are clearly feeling the pressure as well.

As soon as the game began, the Green Army immediately strengthened its defense, and defended and followed the strategy of strictly defending the outside line and strategically abandoning the inside line.

In the first quarter of the game, the Magic team only made 6 shots from the outside, hit 2 goals, and the team only scored 20 points in a single quarter, but fortunately, the offensive rhythm of the Celtics was not very good, and the team's 24-point score was only 4 points ahead of the Magic.

"It seems that the Celtics are determined to completely block the Magic's outside shooting, if the Magic's outside line can't open the situation for a long time, I am afraid it won't last long with Howard's offense on the inside......"

Wang Chao scored only 4 points on 2-of-5 shooting in the first quarter.

In the previous game, Wang Chao's activity also made him a key target for the Celtics, while Garnett was marking the whole process, other players of the Celtics would also make up for Wang Chao at any time or even wrap up, following a purpose, even if other outside shooters of the Magic team shot, they resolutely did not give Wang Chao a chance to warm up.

Faced with this situation, Wang Chao is not in a hurry.

The existence of elevator door tactics is created to deal with such defense, but the game has just begun, there is no need to rush to use the killer weapon immediately, since the Celtics do not hesitate to selectively let go of other players in order to limit themselves, Wang Chao is also happy to give other outside players of the Magic team the opportunity to find a feeling state.

Wang Chao has found that since he got the system, his performance has begun to become very stable, unlike many players, who suddenly appear to be in extremely poor condition one day, unable to shoot no matter how they shoot, and unable to shoot even if it is a big vacancy.

It seems that with the digitization of ability values, Wang Chao's own play is like a program in a computer game, strictly implementing the data definition of ability values, and there will be no particularly large changes in performance.

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing, because it means that Wang Chao's shooting rate will always maintain a relatively stable horizontal value, and it is difficult to have an invincible performance like Kobe Bryant's 81 points in a single game.

But for now, this phenomenon is obviously a good thing, and as a shooter, a consistent and efficient score is certainly much better than a nerve knife.

Wang Chao, who didn't play much in the first quarter of the game, only made a few symbolic shots in the second quarter, and his personal score was still not double-double at halftime.

At the expense of Wang Chao, the team's core scoring point inside and outside, the Magic's offensive rhythm was still slightly affected, and at halftime, the score of the two teams was 46:55, and the Celtics were on the verge of establishing a double-digit lead.

"Things are not going well for the Magic."

In the CCTV sports live broadcast room, Director Zhang was a little worried, "The Celtics' defense against Wang Chao today is really good, and Wang Chao himself doesn't seem to have any particularly strong offensive desire, and only 8 points were scored in the first half." ”

"According to the three games won by the Magic team in the past, it is difficult to win if Wang Chao can't get a high score, Turkogru, Nelson and other outside players have limited scoring ability, and Howard does not have a strong offensive ability on the inside, if the Magic team wants to win, Wang Chao must get a high score! Now I can only watch the second half of the game, Wang Chao can get back to the state! ”

……

At halftime, in the Magic locker room, the atmosphere was not as oppressive as imagined.

Although it is in the lag stage, whether it is the head coach Stan. Van Gundy is still a group of players, and they are all very relaxed.

And rightfully so, because even if the Magic lose this game, going back to Orlando would be enough to make a difference.

After all, the Celtics are a team with 66 wins in the regular season, and they are still a top Big Three configuration, and both game experience and roster depth are far from being comparable to the Magic.

Moreover, considering that the Magic team was only a playoff round last season and was swept out of the first round by the Pistons, it is enough to be satisfied to be able to go all the way to the Eastern Conference finals this season.

Howard patted Wang Chao on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Brother, don't care, those guys' defense is really difficult, and no one will blame you if you don't play well." ”

Wang Chao glanced at Howard, then at the other players in a more relaxed atmosphere before speaking.

"Dwight, what are you talking about? The second half of the game is just about to begin! ”

Wang Chao's voice was not small, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the locker room, including the head coach's gaze.

"I don't know what they think, maybe I really think it's enough for the team to get to where they are this season, but I'm not." Wang Chao looked at Howard, who was a little stunned. "Before I came here, I was a member of the Suns, and in my two seasons with the Suns, I never missed the Finals and helped the team win a championship."

"I'm playing in the Finals every year with the Suns, so why do I have to be willing to stop here in the East Finals? Or are you willing to lose to the other side? ”

"In the second half of the game, focus on the elevator door tactics, give me the ball, and I will help the team win the game!"

There was silence, and the entire locker room fell into silence for a short time because of Wang Chao's words.

"That's right, the game is not over yet, 8 points behind is not 30 points behind, we still have hope of turning the tables!"

The first to react was head coach Stan. Van Gundy.

When he said this sentence in a high tone, he himself was a little ashamed, because just now, even he felt that the Magic team could go all the way to the present is good enough, even if it can't beat the Celtics, he can completely deal with it and return to Orlando to enjoy flowers and applause.

But as a player, Wang Chao didn't give up, how could he, as the head coach of the Magic team, drag the players back?

"In the third quarter, we have to shrink the defense, and the Celtics don't feel very good in this game, as long as you pay attention to Ray. Allen and Pierce are two points, and players in other positions can appropriately stand behind to strengthen the interior defense and force the opponent to make mid-to-long-range shots as much as possible. ”

"In terms of offense, just do what Wang Chao said, we use elevator door tactics to create offensive opportunities for Wang Chao, Wang! Whether you can seize the opportunity or not is up to you! ”

……

By the end of the break, the North Shore Garden fans were in a sea of joy.

With an eight-point lead at home and the toughest guy on the Magic team who was completely unable to hold his head up in the first half, everything was going in a good direction, and the fans were now just waiting for the second half to be over and cheer and applaud for the Celtics.

This will be the first time the Celtics have returned to the Finals since 1988, and if the Celtics can win the O'Brien Cup in the Finals, it will be a championship after 22 years!

This is of great significance to the Celts, a traditional wealthy family, a down-and-out aristocracy.

However, as soon as the third quarter began, the situation changed dramatically.

Wang Chao, who had not been very active in the first half, suddenly took over the game.

His first attack was the standard elevator door tactic.

Wang Chao, who was standing at the three-point line in the bottom corner, began to run without the ball, bypassing the baseline and then running quickly along the free throw line to the three-point line.

Garnett, who was closely following Wang Chao's side, was locked out of the elevator door by Howard and Turkoglou, who suddenly intervened, and the timing was just right.

Nelson, who was standing at a 45-degree angle, immediately passed the ball to Wang Chao, who received the ball and threw it, and hit three points easily without any accident in a completely empty position.

"Three points are valid!"

Looking at the gesture made by the referee, Celtics head coach Doug on the sidelines. Rivers was a little upset.

He walked over to the referee and complained about the Magic's mobile pick-and-roll violation.

But his complaints were ignored by the referee.

Mobile pick-and-roll? Didn't see it.

Although the elevator door tactic has the disadvantages of easy to move the block and dismantle, it is not unreasonable for the Warriors to rely on this tactic in the league for many years, two players carry out the blocking and dismantling action at the same time, the test of the referee's eyesight itself is very high, and the possibility of missing or not noticing is very high, and even if the referee notices, it is only a suspected mobile block and dismantling action, which is not very obvious, many times the referee has to think about it to judge whether it is a violation, and the game has continued at that time, There is no need to make up the blow.

What's more, the Magic team is the president of the league, David Brown. The team that Stern specially ordered to take care of itself was a little biased in terms of blowing penalties.

Therefore, the referee didn't even pay attention to Rivers, and just warned the other party with his eyes.

Not long after the league introduced a zero-tolerance policy, any player or coach who dares to obstruct or question the referee's blowing has the right to blow them for technical fouls or even expulsion.

Seeing that the pressure on the referee was fruitless, Rivers had no choice, so he could only hope that Wang Chao's hand was not good, this kind of elevator door tactics of double blocking and dismantling cover, it is completely impossible to defend, whether it is Garnett who is separated by the block, or the Celtics players who are responsible for defending Howard and Turkoglou, there is no way to chase Wang Chao, especially the defenders of Howard and Turkoglou, if they go around the front defense in advance, the Magic team can directly score an empty basket.

In the next few rounds, Wang Chao frequently used the elevator door tactics to score open shots, and the score difference continued to narrow.

By the end of the third quarter, the scores of the two teams were almost even.

"Wonderful third quarter! Wang Chao swept away the decline in the first half of the game in this quarter, scoring 15 points in a single game with 5 three-pointers, helping the Magic team tie the gap in the first half, and now the two teams are back on the same running line, and will decide the winner in the final fourth quarter of the game! ”

In the CCTV sports studio, Director Yu said passionately.

"Reasonable! It's so reasonable! Wang Chao and the Magic team cooperated with these several double-block pick-and-cover outside three-point shots, each time it was completely empty, and Wang Chao did not miss any opportunity, if the Magic team can continue to play like this in the fourth quarter, it is really possible to win this game and enter the finals! Director Zhang on the side also analyzed.

At this moment, the Celtic home fans at the North Shore Garden Square Arena have begun to panic.

What's going on? Could it be that the Celtics, who make up the Big Three, are really going to capsize in the gutter?
