At the beginning of the second quarter, the score was 22-20 on the court, and the Celtics took the lead.

The lineup of the two sides, Bulls: Hinrich, Xu Yong, Artest, Battier, Yi Jianlian;

Celtics: Rondo, Bradley, Petrus, Brandon Bus, Kwame Brown.

came up to the Bulls' offense, Xu Yong held the ball and hit Bradley with his back, and after being sandwiched by Petrus, he passed the ball to Artest, who received the ball outside the three-point line and passed the ball inside, and after seeing Petrus collect it again, he directly chose to shoot three-pointers.

Artest's choice of the ball was unexpectedly resolute, and it was too late for Petrus to pounce, so he turned around and chose to grab the rebound.

"Huh!"

But there were no rebounds, and Artest's three-point hollow pocket.

22 to 23.

The Bulls overtook the score.

While the defense was declining, Artest was stunned to shoot the most accurate three-point season of his career this season.

Rivers looked unhappy with the ball, turned around and called Pierce again, who had been resting for less than three minutes.

This goal also goes some way to explaining why the rotation between the two sides is so small.

In such a high-intensity game, every point is crucial, and one of the big differences between role players and main players is the ability to judge in an instant.

Rondo's breakthrough resulted in a foul on Hinrich and Pierce came on for Petrus.

The sideline ball was sent out again, and Pierce and Brown blocked and shoved the ball to Brown, but Brown didn't hold the ball and got out of his hands.

The ball was controlled by Artest, and then threw his hand to Xu Yong, who broke through quickly, and directly staged a flying dunk after shaking off Bradley.

The emotions of the Chicago fans were ignited instantly.

The Bulls came up in the second quarter with a wave of 5-0, which is to break the deadlock!

Coming back, Pierce singled Artest, and after a hard back chisel, he stepped back to the ground and made a jumper.

"Phew!"

The basketball is still off the basket.

The rebound was directly picked off by Xu Yong.

Thanks to Rondo's quick and quick foul, it would have been another wave of defensive counter-attacks.

Seeing this, Rivers made another substitution, and Garnett came on again to replace Brown.

Brown came off the pitch with a slightly frustrated expression.

After he moved from the Bulls to the Celtics, his performance was significantly worse than before, and the biggest reason was that his teammates didn't find his instruction manual like the one just now.

If the ball had been thrown into the sky just now, he would have been able to finish the empty catch.

But this is also a normal thing, what qualifications does a role player have to get the senior boss of the team to cooperate with you?

The person who can understand Brown like Xu Yong and help Brown is afraid that he will not find a second one.

Thinking back to the scene before the game, when he wanted to go to Xu Yongxu and was stopped by Rondo, he regretted leaving Chicago for money at the moment.

"Huh!"

Just as Brown was sitting on the bench, Yi Jianlian received a pass from Xu Yong at the top of the arc and hit a three-pointer.

In terms of the role of a 3D interior line, even if Garnett is strong in helping to defend himself, it is impossible for him to just help defend Xu Yong, and then immediately expand to the three-point line.

22 to 28.

The Bulls stretched the score to a maximum margin of six points.

Now they really broke the stalemate.

Whistles and cheers erupted at the United Center.

They found that in addition to Xu Yao, they also liked Yi Jianlian more and more.

Rivers looked up at the score and paced on the sidelines, a little anxious.

The people who should have been replaced have all been changed, and the chicken soup that should have been poured was also poured during the interval, but he didn't expect the opening of the second quarter to collapse like this.

You must know that in the second quarter, the Celtics have not scored yet.

Garnett went to the right side of the front court with the ball in high office.

But the fans at the scene were in high spirits at this time, accompanied by the earth-shattering "defense" shouts, the Bulls' defensive intensity was full, and Pierce and Bradley's air cuts did not get a chance to shoot.

Garnett saw a shooting feint, and then broke through Yi Jianlian directly.

If it is a low-post confrontation, Yi Jianlian still has a certain chance to defend Garnett, but when he moves to play, his speed obviously can't keep up, and Garnett feels good tonight, and he can't shrink the defense.

As a result, Garnett quickly broke through to the inside, and then carried Yi Jianlian's pursuit defense to score under the basket, and also caused Yi Jianlian's thug to foul.

After scoring the ball, Garnett excitedly roared and beat his chest in a signature celebration move, and then turned to Yi Jianlian and directly spewed trash words: "You soft egg who can only shoot three-pointers, go back to your CBA." ”

Garnett is a standard trash talk guarantor, best known for his squirting of "Your wife tastes like a doughnut" to Anthony.

Tonight, he was quieter in the first quarter, and that was because he was playing against Yao Ming on the court, and all his energy was focused on playing against Yao Ming.

But at this time, he was obviously unhappy because of Yi Jianlian's three points.

Yi Jianlian looked frustrated.

Although it is not the first time that he has played against Garnett, every time he plays against Garnett, it is a great physical and mental challenge for him.

Because he can't compare to Garnett in terms of technique and ability, and Garnett's trash talk is very heart-wrenching.

In addition, because of his personality, he can't trash talk this skill.

It's like two people boxing in the ring, they can only be beaten unilaterally, and it's easy to close themselves.

Xu Yong walked to Yi Jianlian's side after seeing this, then covered his nose in the direction of Garnett, then waved his hand and said, "Whoever farted so stinky." ”

This sudden remark stunned Yi Jianlian and Garnett.

Yi Jianlian couldn't hold back his laughter in the end, but he was immediately met with Garnett's vicious cold eyes.

Xu Yong pulled Yi Jianlian into the distance at this time, as if the place was really stinky.

This made Garnett so angry that he almost threw a fist.

"Try to prevent it, if you can't prevent it, you have to foul and be ruthless." After waiting for the distance, Xu Yong opened his mouth and said to Yi Jianlian.

It's normal that Yi Jianlian can't stop Garnett, but Garnett consumed so much in the first quarter, how much physical strength does he have to support him to play like this all the time?

Attrition is always the best way to defend, at least physically, Yi Jianlian is far more than Garnett on the bench.

"Phew!"

I don't know if it was affected by Xu Yong's trash talk, but Garnett's penalty didn't hit.

Yi Jianlian protected the defensive rebound, and the Bulls advanced to the front court and played the position.

Xu Yong received the ball outside the three-point line on the right side, and directly reached out to beckon Yi Jianlian to pull to the high post to block the demolition.

Because Yi Jianlian had just scored a three-pointer in front, the Celtics didn't dare to go around the block this time, nor did they dare to let Yi Jianlian go to clamp Xu Yong, so they could only choose to change.

After Xu Yong saw the misplaced match for Garnett, he then signaled to pull away and play singles.

Consuming Garnett is only a secondary purpose, and more importantly, I can't get used to Garnett.

Not to mention that Yi Jianlian accepted his suggestion to change to 3D, which has nothing to do with the word soft, but Garnett's style of bullying the soft and fearing the hard makes people feel deeply ashamed.

You like trash talk so much, why did you wait until you were on Yi Jianlian to start spraying?

After waiting for his teammates to pull away, Xu Yong started with a falling step and decisively broke through Garnett.

Garnett's defensive footwork was excellent, using sliding steps to shrink early to stay in position.

When he broke through to the free throw line, Xu Yong hit the pivot foot and turned around for a jumper.

Garnett scrambled to pounce.

But I didn't expect Xu Yong to be a feint, after he pounced, Xu Yong collected the ball and turned around, and sent the ball into the basket steadily with a beautiful up and down step.

Garnett was tragically teased!

The scene was instantly filled with cheers and whistles.

This technical move is also too handsome.

Especially the footsteps, which are explained clearly, highlight a silky.

Garnett also pouted at this time, although Xu Yong is the MVP, it is always embarrassing to be teased like this by a third-grader.

Especially Xu Yong deliberately said something like that before.

But after all, he is a veteran of a hundred battles, and he quickly adjusted his mentality and was ready to serve from the baseline.

It's just that before he took this step, Xu Yong smiled faintly at him: "Y." ”

This phrase translates directly to "good attempt", but don't think it's a word of encouragement, on the contrary, it's full of mockery.

If I had to make an analogy, it would be the one that the girl said, "You're in?" ”

It's a trash-talk that Americans often use, and in the basketball world, the person who made this phrase a classic is the old guy who loves to touch his head with the Spurs.

And the backdrop, yes, is the Garnett in front of you.

When Garnett talked about trash talk after retiring, he said that the last person he wanted to spew trash talk about was Duncan.

Because Duncan generally doesn't respond positively to your trash talk, but instead says simple words to disgust you after hitting the response ball.

Yes, just words, like "Almost" and "y".

These words are very concise, so concise that you can't listen to them if you want to.

Most means almost, which can be understood as "you almost stopped me".

The same goes for y.

This may also be the gap in the trash talk rank, and Garnett belongs to the level of direct spraying.

But often more hurtful than spraying people directly, it is Duncan's arrogance in his yin and yang weirdness.

After a few attempts, Garnett became unusually quiet when he met Duncan again.

So at this time, Xu Yong spewed out this sentence again, and Garnett directly broke the defense.

He couldn't control his temper anymore, so he went up directly and pushed Xu Yong hard.

There is a reason why he dares to do this, at this time, Artest is standing on the outside, and he can't catch up for a while.

He just let the young Xu Yong know the consequences of spewing this kind of trash talk at a hard-nosed guy on the court.

It's just that he encountered an embarrassing thing when he first got started.

He pushed it over, and Xu Yong didn't move much.

Joke, Xu Yong's current core strength is pushed in the air without falling, and Garnett's move just shifted his center of gravity.

Then his pupils contracted in the next second, and his surprised gaze instantly turned into shock.

Because after Xu Yong was pushed by him, he actually swung it directly with a punch!

Xu Yong's defeat of Green in the NCAA semifinals was a sensation, but in fact, it also depends on the scope of influence, which is more NCAA scope.

And that was three years ago, and in the era of rapid information change, the news at that time was not necessarily searchable.

Xu Yong's words, after entering the NBA, have not had a conflict with anyone, although the style of play is very tough, and he has never been cowardly in front of the media, but after all, he has never made a move on the court.

That's another reason why Garnett dared to do it.

But he never expected Xu Yong's reaction to be so fast and so decisive.

Isn't this guy thinking about being banned for throwing such a punch?

Fortunately, he has been in the alliance for many years, and he instinctively withdrew and dodged and never ate Xu Yong's punch again.

But the next second, he felt a hot pain in his jaw.

Reaching out and touching it, it hurt him even more.

Although he dodged fast enough, his jaw was still grazed by Xu Yong's fist.

And before he could feel it again, Xu Yong had already waved his fist and bullied him again.

He was not only shocked, but a little scared.

He found himself facing a third-grader, who was clearly an unbelievable and unreasonable monster!

If this gave him a chance to choose, he would rather have the person who clashed with him at this time Artest.

He could only wave his fists to keep his tough persona, and then quickly retreated backwards .gif.

It was during this process that the players on the field and the referee gathered together and forcibly separated the two.

Xu Yong also put away his fists at this time, and then said lightly: "Boring." ”

Yes, it's just boring.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to do things without thinking about the consequences, and the moment Garnett came up to push him, he had already thought about exchanging one-to-one with Garnett tonight.

Although Garnett is no longer as strong as him now, his importance to the Celtics is not much different from his importance to the Bulls.

Because Garnett is not only pulling space on the offensive end, but also supporting the foundation of the Celtics' defensive system.

Coupled with the fact that Rose and Yao Ming are both present tonight, even if he and Garnett are one-for-one, the Bulls still have a better chance of winning.

So he is ready to fight with Garnett, so that this guy who has always bullied the weak and feared the hard will also suffer a little.

But I didn't expect Garnett, the old boy, to react really quickly, especially when this kung fu of fighting and retreating has been perfected.

In this regard, James, a junior, is really a little far behind.

After all, compared to retreating instantly, this fighting and retreating can perfectly preserve the tough image, rather than making people feel cowardly.

The game went into a technical timeout and players on both sides were persuaded to leave and return to the bench.

As soon as Xu Yong sat down, Thibodeau walked up to him.

"You take a two-minute break." Thibodeau didn't blame Xu Yong, and even felt that Xu Yong did a good job in his heart as he affirmed that he had done Anthony before, but as a head coach, he couldn't express it like that.

And Xu Yong's fist just now, with the Bulls' penalty treatment this season, may be expelled.

Moments later, the referee gave a penalty after watching the replay.

The decision was interesting, Garnett didn't give a penalty, and Xu Yong was awarded a technical foul.

This instantly attracted cheers from the fans at the scene, and Rivers was naturally dissatisfied with the protest at the technical desk, but he knew that protesting was never useful in the NBA.

However, the referee came over to explain to Thibodeau after giving the penalty, and there were many warnings in his words.

Obviously, this is a penalty that has been demoted.

Because normally speaking, Xu Yong swung his fist, how could it be a first-level malice, and Garnett pushed people, and the guarantee should also be a technical foul.

But one thing to note is that the Bulls are being taken care of, but Xu Yong is now the new MVP.

If nothing else, your post-game news media reported that the MVP was whistled for a malicious foul on the night the trophy was awarded?

This is very damaging to the image of the NBA.

So the referees will definitely take this into account when blowing the penalty, and then adopt a flexible relegation treatment.

In fact, it did work, and Rivers went back after protesting for a while, after all, Garnett pushed people first, but was not blown off.

Thibodeau's side was the same, agreeing with the referee's warning, and then went back and reminded Xu Yong to pay attention to the next game.

Everyone accepted, but one person said he was hurt at this time.

Garnett, who had just been sprayed with the potion.

He was sprayed with trash talk this time, and then beaten, and in the end, the other party was only blown a technical foul, and he couldn't help shouting: "There is no heavenly reason, and there is no royal law!" ”

But that obviously won't be of any use, and he can only silently suffer this secret loss.

Then, like Xu Yong, he took a two-minute break off the court.

The score did not change much in the two minutes, and after two minutes, the two sides successively switched back to the main team, and Garnett and Xu Yong were also replaced.

When the camera showed Xu Yong, the reaction of the fans at the scene was overwhelming cheers.

Where is this? Chicago!

This group of fans with a bit of gangster elements, which one doesn't love Xu Yong's reaction just now?

This is completely pulling off Garnett's bottoms, which are known for being iron-blooded and tough.

Well, Garnett, who came back, did become very honest.

There's no way, let's not talk about whether he dares to fight with Xu Yong, as for the way the referee handles it tonight, he won't do it with Xu Yong unless he can't think about it.

The effect of this is that the Bulls are clearly going to overtake the Celtics for the rest of the quarter.

This is like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series, the main generals on both sides come out to fight each other, although the winning side does not actually determine the outcome of the war, but there is a high probability that it can win, because it is not only heads-up, but also momentum.

At halftime, the score was 36-47, and the Bulls led by 11 points to end the first half.

In a game of this intensity, 11 points can be said to be a big point difference, and the Bulls can be said to have one foot in the victory.

However, in the third quarter, the Celtics showed their adjustment and resilience.

The first is the momentum, and perhaps this is the time to admit the ability of Rivers as a master of chicken soup, and the Celtics came back in the second half with a clear more patient and aggressive play.

The second is the offense, Rondo scrambled into a few mid-ranges, forcing Yao Ming to pull out from the inside, and the Celtics scored a lot of points through air cuts.

The Bulls' defense was not doing well, and the offense was also affected a little, and by the end of the third quarter, the Celtics had narrowed the gap to five points.

It can be said that the Celtics' play in this section, that is, Ke Jie of the Asian Games, played a strong comeback from a bad start, and the victory is in sight.

It's just that in the final quarter, the Celtics were noticeably weaker.

As Thibodeau analyzed before the game, age and fitness are the biggest weaknesses for the Celtics.

Although a few of the old guys were able to stay on the court mentally, the quality of their offensive and defensive ends was clearly declining.

The whole course of tonight's game can be said to be within Thibodeau's plan.

As long as there is a stalemate with the Celtics in the first three quarters, the chances of victory are high.

Indeed, in the face of the onslaught of Xu Yong and Rose, the two young MVPs in the backcourt, the Celtics took the lead in the final quarter of the defensive collapse.

91-79, the Bulls finally won the series smoothly.

In terms of statistics, Garnett scored the most points on the Celtics' side, with 20 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, including hitting 6 mid-range.

Pierce played averagely, scoring 15 points on 5-of-17 shooting; Ray Allen didn't have many chances, but he scored 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting; Rondo had a double-double of 14 points and 12 assists, and Bass had 11 points.

On the Bulls' side, Xu Yong scored a game-high 26 points, 10 points in the final quarter, Yao Ming 21 points and 10 boards, Rose also scored 20 points, Artest scored 11 points, and Yi Jianlian scored 6 points and 3 boards.

After the game, the two sides shook hands, and the head coaches on both sides took the lead in shaking hands.

Thibodeau smiled, and Rivers looked constipated.

In fact, if you want to talk about the coaching level of the two, Thibodeau may not be much better than Rivers.

But the key thing here is that Thibodeau is Rivers' former assistant coach and the No. 1 assistant coach.

To put it in a very figurative way, he probably knows the Celtics better than Rivers.

After the game, the league did not escalate the clash in the second quarter, and directly adopted a cold approach.

This can be said to be expected, of course, the cold treatment method cannot make fans not talk about this matter, and on social media, fans are hotly discussed.

It's just that what many people don't expect is that this discussion somehow turned into Garnett's criticism conference.

"KG is the foulest-mouthed guy in the league, and there is no limit to trash talk, he would even spew 'Happy Mother's Day' trash talk to Duncan on Mother's Day, considering that TD's mother died at an early age is a well-known thing."

"Yes, that guy really sucks, Villanueva once said in an interview that KG used to spray him directly as a cancer patient, brother, this is a personal attack at all, Villanueva just has a hairless disease."

"To make matters worse, KG sprays not only opponents, but also teammates, and Glenn Davis's nickname 'Big Baby' was sprayed by him during the team's training sessions."

"And if you look closely, you will find that KG is bullying rookies who have just entered the league most of the time, and when he encounters a really tough guy, he will consciously shut up, which is a guy who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard."

"As a Minnesota fan, I would like to share one thing that you may not know, in 2003, a rookie named Rick Ricott, a 6-foot-11" forward, in a training match, KG trash talk at Richter, but unfortunately he lost the game, Rickett sprayed him back, and then he got into a big fight and put the other person in the hospital."

"Haha, he's that guy, just because he's an American, he's called Iron Will, and Nowitzki is called a soft egg, in fact, the two fight Garnett is beaten by Nowitzki every time, and he is thrown a few streets by Nowitzki than he led the team, and his toughness is an iron-blooded jump shot, and he fights and retreats."

"I've long wanted to see this guy get beaten on the field, thanks to Xu, it seems to have cured my constipation for many years, and I now feel comfortable."

"To be honest, I didn't expect Xu to be such a tough guy before, and then I went to check it out, and I was taken aback, Xu flew a guy named Draymond Green in the NCAA semifinals, because that guy had stepped on him before, and if someone told KG about this before the game, KG would definitely be better behaved than ever." From the review of "KBforever".

"Really? Where I'm going to look. ”

"Really, that guy named Green is going to be in the draft this year, and you can ask Xu his teammates from the NCAA, James Harden, DeMar DeRozan, Jeff Ayles, they're all playing in the NBA right now." From the review of "KBforever".

……

Garnett woke up the next day with the intention of watching fans question the decision on social media, but he almost didn't shut him up.

Because in addition to the criticism of the fans, there was also an interview with Harden in front of reporters, which confirmed the incident of Xu Yongfei kneeling Green at the beginning, and also vividly described Green's tragic situation at that time.

While he was speechless, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

I don't know if it's the helplessness of the fans' reaction, or I'm glad that I didn't really get on the shelves with Xu Yonggan.

Let's talk about the real-time situation of the other three groups in the semi-finals of the next division.

The Heat's opening game against the Pacers went well, and it was a bit one-sided.

This is a bit different from the two teams that have played each other in history.

This is mainly due to two reasons, one is that although Boozer is better offensively than West, his defense has become crotched with age.

James was also very excited about this "anti-bone boy", and scored 30+ in the first game.

The other is Odom, Odom's enhancement of the Heat bench is indeed obvious, while the Pacers did not get George Hill as in history, Collison was promoted to play the starter, and the bench strength has also decreased significantly.

The Lakers and Spurs fought fiercely, and the Lakers narrowly won G1 in the end.

Then the Thunder and Mavericks were more surprising, and the Thunder beat the Mavericks in the first game.

Serge Ibaka and Gasol, two of Nowitzki's undermen last year, have worked the defensive end this year to great effect.

Ibaka, in particular, has made significant progress.

In fact, many people forget that Ibaka was only in the second year last year, and this kind of talented inside progress is very fast.

Then Leonard, who was pinned on by Dallas fans, was still too immature in front of the evolved Durant and was basically blown up.

Of course, it's not just Leonard, Marion is completely unguardable.

Durant feels a bit like Nowitzki last year, and it doesn't matter who comes.

……

After a two-day break, G2 of the Bulls and Celtics series continues to kick off in Chicago.

Both sides continued to show their ability to adjust.

On the Celtics' side, the defensive intensity has dropped significantly from the first game, and the rotation has also expanded, with a ninth man.

On the Bulls' side, Thibodeau observed the video and adjusted his defensive strategy against Garnett, taking Rondo's defense of Garnett as a defensive strategy for positional warfare.

The adjustments on both sides can be said to be very targeted, and they are the label of two fully mature teams.

It's just that in the end, the result of this competition completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Because Rondo broke out directly, and in an unbelievable way.

He shot 16-of-24 from the field, including 2-of-2 three-pointers, and finished with 44 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists. [Note 18]

It's hard to imagine that this is a statistic that a player who averages less than 12 points per game and a career high of only 14 points, which fans call "Long Bu Shot", can play.

Even Xu Yong never expected it.

But he did, and not without signs.

Because in G1, Rondo was released in the third quarter, but he continued to throw in performances.

In other words, it may not be a matter of simply eating dumplings, but a state.

If you have to analyze it, the management's treatment of Ray Allen is actually a change of direction to support Rondo, and his current average of 15.8 shots per game after Garnett shows that the coaching staff is also supporting him, which is giving Rondo confidence.

Rondo, on the other hand, is a guy with more tough genes than Garnett, and he can really do the seemingly impossible in certain games.

"We're going to have a warm welcome when we come back to Boston, and it's going to be a game they'll remember for the rest of their lives."

After the win, Garnett also continued to show his tough side in front of reporters.

Yes, the next two games will be played in Boston, with Celtic stealing home-court advantage after winning G2.

The weather in Boston, it's a bit cold.

This port city in the northeastern United States doesn't officially warm up until June, when the average maximum temperature is only around 20°C.

Regarding this, when the Bulls arrived here two years ago, Xu Yong had already felt it because there was no hot water at that time.

And this year's temperatures seem to be a little colder than they were two years ago.

However, I don't know if the Celtics' conscience has discovered this year that there is hot water in the locker room of the away team on such a cold day.

Of course, Xu Yong is still very cautious.

On the day of the game, after the floor was laid, he took Butler to the competition venue as soon as possible, and then went in early to practice.

The purpose is to try the floor tactics that Hinrich has said before.

As a result, after a round of trying, they found that there was really no problem with the floor.

This made him a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Could it be that this year the Celtics really have a conscience?

"Probably winning the second game made them feel like they could beat us head-on." Butler gives his inference.

This inference is quite reasonable, the means or something, it is something that will only be played when you can't win you.

If you can be defeated head-on, there is really no need to use those again, because then it will seem to be invincible.

It's just that when it was time for the evening game, when Xu Yong and his teammates entered the arena, he found that Butler was still young.

Because of this arena, it's so cold.

It was also an hour before the start of the game that the Bulls received an official notice.

Because the arena is old, the air conditioning at the North Shore Garden arena tonight is broken.

This bad thing cannot be said to be a coincidence, it can only be said to be blatant.

And you can't say anything yet, because at this point in time, the game is not likely to be delayed.

"It's really hard to prevent." Butler said with a wry smile that he had grown a lot of insight at this young age.

"At least everyone is the same." Xu Yong didn't think much of this.

Regarding the broken air conditioner, he had heard it before, talking about the Spurs' air conditioner when the Heat played the Spurs in 2014.

At that time, James had leg cramps for this reason, and then was carried off the court by his teammates on all fours, becoming a world famous painting.

But Xu Yong knows that it doesn't have to do with air conditioning, just like he said, everyone is the same, why do you have cramps?

That's more of a personal problem for James, with cramps and groins that have accompanied James throughout his career.

Xu Yong's words, the rest of the locker room heard it, and they all nodded in agreement.

This air-conditioning tactic is indeed the same for everyone compared to the targeted damage to the water heater in the away team's locker room and the floor tactic.

Half an hour later, the players on both sides entered the stadium one after another to warm up.

Xu Yong looked up and saw that the surroundings were all green.

Green is the main color of the Celtics, and every night on the scene is equipped with a green blanket on the seats, and some even cover him over his head to keep warm.

Seeing the careful preparation of the stadium, if there were doubts about whether the air conditioner was really broken, then now the doubts are completely gone.

As a historical (old hooligan) team, the Green Army is really shameless in terms of shamelessness.

However, now that it has been confirmed that it is a traditional craft of the Celtics, the players of the Bulls are instead high-spirited.

After all, what players are most unaccustomed to is this kind of indiscriminate means.

At the other end of the court, the Celtics players were also warming up before the game.

Their positioning was also interesting at this time, with Ray Allen alone on one side and Pierce, Garnett and Rondo on the other.

It seems that the relationship within the Celtics team is even more tense than Xu Yong imagined, and Ray Allen is isolated.

But this is actually normal, just like the classic line in the "Green Book" movie: I am not black enough for black people, I am not white enough for white people, so am I black or white?

In this part of the United States, black and white, as it is physically defined, are the opposite of two extremes.

It's normal for people like Hill and Ray Allen to be isolated (Battier is white, but he looks darker).

And the likes of Garnett, Pierce and Rondo, looking at their style of play, know that they are purebred black.

"Paul, what's wrong with you?" Garnett couldn't help but stop training and ask after seeing Pierce go to the sidelines and sit down early.

Pierce looked up, his face was too dark to discern any color, but his expression didn't look too comfortable.

"It's fine." Pierce shook his head, not elaborating.

Seeing this, Garnett didn't continue to ask, not because he wasn't curious, but because he believed that with Pierce's character, he could solve it himself.

When Garnett walked away, Pierce let out a long breath.

The weather has turned cold in the past two days, and he doesn't know if it's a cold or what, and his stomach doesn't feel particularly comfortable.

Because of this, he also ate less than usual in the past two days, and chose more cereal-like foods to replenish energy.

The NBA players have an unusual physique, which is really not much of a problem for him.

However, because the air conditioner in the stadium was broken, the temperature in the stadium was relatively low, which made him feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

Fortunately, just before the warm-up was over, he suddenly sat upright, and after the second-row staff frowned and covered his nose, Pierce stood up from his seat.

Well, it feels so much better now.

Garnett looked back and saw that Pierce had readjusted, and he also stepped forward and slapped Pierce on the chest.

He knew Pierce could handle the problem.

And in his opinion, Pierce was more of a psychological problem just now.

In the two semifinals, Pierce averaged only 16 points per game and only 38% shooting, which was very average, and even according to the requirements of the team's core, it can be said that he pulled his pants pocket.

But the good news is that he and Rondo are in great shape, so as long as Pierce adjusts to his form, it's not impossible for them to beat the Bulls.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.

The enthusiasm of the Boston fans was very high.

The Celtics, as the same level as the Lakers and the only two veteran teams in the league, have a very deep fan base.

In particular, they also defeated the Bulls in G2 to gain home-court advantage, and the series was in a good situation, and the emotions of the fans were getting higher and higher.

You can even see a lot of signs holding signs such as "Let's beat Xu again" and "Xu is the MVP of the second water".

Obviously, after someone with a heart moved out of the remarks made two years ago, Boston fans couldn't get used to Xu Yong.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were released one after another.

Both sides started the same game as in the previous two games.

Thibodeau's bold strategy in the first round paid off, and even though the game was intense, neither Rose nor Yao Ming were injured.

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Yao Ming turned the ball back to the half court, which opened the curtain of the game.

Yao's first hook attempt under the basket deflected off the basket.

Coming back, Garnett's iron-blooded jumper from the free-throw line was also deflected.

And it's no accident, both teams played for almost five minutes, and the scores on the field didn't add up to 10 points.

I don't know if it's the low temperature in the stadium, but the feel on both sides is very average.

At this time, in the stands, Angie, the general manager of the Celtics, smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.

As a general manager who came from among the players and also served as the head coach of the NBA, he saw the game thoroughly.

G2 Rondo's outburst is just an accident, there is no replication, the normal result of the two sides is likely to be the same as G1, even if the Celtics can drag the series to the back, there is a high probability that they will still lose.

So because G2 won and felt that he could beat the Bulls, he would never have it.

It is inevitable to return to the home court to show a hand in traditional craftsmanship.

To be honest, even if the Celtics' offense has improved this season, there is still a big gap between them and the Bulls.

If you want to win, you can only rely on defense.

And to improve the advantage brought by defense, it is natural to pull the Bulls' offense to the same level as the Celtics.

So is there a more effective way to do this than to cool it at a low temperature?

In the last few hours of the month, the brothers still have a monthly ticket and vote again, rushing for a 5,000 monthly ticket, thank you in advance
