'We only had one tactic in the first half, which was to give the ball to Frye and the others to stand far away. Speaking to ABC reporters at halftime, George Carr said, "You have to admit that it works. ”

The reporter asked: "Will you stick to this style of play in the second half?" ”

Karl certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to reveal his second-half strategy.

However, the supersonic team's focus on Yu Fei in the first half is almost a clear card play, so it is not impossible to dig a hole for the opponent here.

"It depends on whether our opponents have other countermeasures." "If a pair of shoes is comfortable to wear, you should always wear them, and that's the same with basketball." ”

There is a feud between Doug Rivers and George Carr that no one mentions anymore.

After Rivers was elected head coach of the Orlando Magic at a young age, the old white coaches led by Carl were not very happy.

Why? Because they all worked hard for more than ten years before they sat in the position of head coach. What about Rivers? As soon as he retired, he was hired as a commentator, and with his eloquence, he was considered a natural coach, and then he became the head coach of the NBA without ever having an assistant coaching resume.

At LOL, since the LPL didn't win the World Championship until the S8 season, the influx of new viewers during that time period used the World Championship as the only measure of the players, which was the beginning of the "what championship are you" era. If the same standard is put in the NBA, Carl back then can also be called a scrap that achieved nothing.

If a person has been wasted for a long time, he is prone to cranky thinking, and when there is a problem with his thinking, he will start to talk nonsense.

Carl was envious of Rivers' good fortune and jealous of Rivers' rise to the top at a young age, and he never believed that it was because Rivers was a so-called natural coach, and he needed to give himself a reason, and he quickly found it.

Carl openly said that Rivers was treated favorably because of the color of his skin, and that he believed that more and more blacks would receive similar care in the future.

Naturally, this sentence was questioned as racist, and Carl ended up apologizing. Since then, he hasn't crossed paths much with Rivers.

The arrival of Yu Fei made Carl's career take off, and he is now a four-time coach, one of the few coaches in NBA history who has won more championships than him. What kind of position says what kind of thing, Carl will not continue to waste time on Rivers.

But Rivers may not be.

The one who hurts forgets it, but the victim remembers it.

Rivers remembered the shame that Carl had brought him, and he had always felt that the two were old enemies, and although such a realization would make Carl feel inexplicable, Rivers thought so.

This hostility was clearly reflected in Rivers' half-time interview.

When asked by reporters if the Celtics were caught off guard by Fly's outburst, Rivers gave some affirmation: "I really didn't expect Frye to score 33 points in the half, which is rare, but we can handle it. ”

"Coach Karl says they'll continue to extend Frye's one-point advantage, what do you think?"

"I think that's how Carl is successful, and we're different from them." "We don't have the best player like Frye, but we've got a bunch of guys who want to win, so we'll see." ”

Karl's success is because of Yu Fei, while Celtic's success at this stage is because his players want to win.

The subtext of this sentence is that without Yu Fei, Carl is nothing. And Rivers' own success is not because he has the Big Three, but because he makes this group "want to win".

At the North Shore Gardens, fans were seizing the half-time break to go shopping.

Some people want beer and deli with alcohol, others want fried fast food, and by the time the game is over, the mecca of Boston basketball fans will be reduced to a garbage dump.

Danny Angie is used to it.

Compared to the old Boston Gardens he once stayed, the North Shore Gardens are a paradise.

Seeing the super army he formed with his own hands being beaten so embarrassed by the world's first person to fight alone, it was hard for Angie not to think of the past.

He was a participant in Jordan's so-called "God Wears Number 23" night.

In his cognition, the current Yu Fei is like Jordan back then, he didn't have a competitive enough team, but the first half of the game gave Anji another wake-up call.

The current Celtic are by no means as invulnerable as the Celtic in 1986.

"However, one person will definitely not win."

In the front row of the garden, ESPN's "Sports Man" Bill Simmons excitedly said to his friend House, "When I say win, I'm not winning or losing in one night, I'm winning or losing in a season." You can't tell me that Frye can replicate tonight's performance in every game of a series! ”

House is Simmons's die-hard buddy, and he and House met for a while before Simmons became famous as a "sports writer" in his early years. Unlike Simmons, House is 24K pure than blowing.

"Not necessarily, Bill." "Before Frye, could you believe anyone averaged a triple-double on a modern basketball court? Before Frye, could you trust anyone to score 70 points on LeBron's head? He's a man who was cursed by No. 23 and who led the Bucks to four championships in five years under the curse, and I feel like he's a child of destiny and he can do anything! ”

Even if it was a Celtic home game, Yu Fei was the biggest topic of conversation on the scene.

As a topic of conversation, Yu Fei said to his teammates in the locker room: "I feel good tonight, I will continue to attack in the second half." ”

Roy asked, "What if they were like the one in Section 2?" ”

Yu Fei said: "I'll pass the damn ball, and then you guys had better throw the damn ball!" ”

There was a burst of laughter.

Then, a solemn Durant apologized to his teammates: "Sorry, I didn't play well tonight, I'll make up for those mistakes in the second half." ”

When the good guy Durant is on the body, everyone always likes him.

"How do you make up for mistakes? With that messy shot of yours? Yu Fei asked.

Durant didn't know what Yu Fei's jumble shot was, which was the key to his transition from the NCAA to the NBA. Due to the different levels of the league, the difficulty of attacking is also different. In the NCAA, Durant's talent can solve a lot of things, but in the NBA, he is much more distracted, and goals that can be easily completed in the NCAA are difficult to hit in the NBA.

One of the simplest examples is that if a layman in a 2K game controls Jordan, the effect will be worse than Jordan Poole's. This is a matter of choice and cognition, if you can't correctly recognize your own characteristics, even Yu Fei will play like a cancer on the court.

In the second half, Yu Fei's offensive continued unabated.

The Celts, however, had already established a correct understanding.

Even if Yu Fei is allowed to blow up each of them with infinite singles, it is better than a large number of Yu Fei and let him assist his teammates to throw all kinds of chance balls.

The former is Yu Fei one drag four, and the latter is one belt four.

Pierce continued to suffer.

It was already unbearable to be exploded in the first half, and in the second half, Yu Fei completely used him as a test subject for low-post offense.

On Pierce, Yu Fei tried a back-to-back hook, a back-to-back jumper and a variety of footwork combinations.

What made Pierce collapse was that the big fly in the scouting report who liked to play low post but was not very efficient, played him with a handle in his hand.

Offensive and defensive momentum is a trade-off thing, and the more Pierce is treated like a plaything on the defensive end, the more anxious the offensive end becomes.

He wanted to respond to Yu Fei, but he was uneasy.

Even with excellent feints and offensive skills, the final shot was affected by mentality, and the shooting percentage was well below average.

"Why don't you bark, Paul?"

Five minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, Yu Fei grabbed the ball with one hand and looked at Pierce playfully.

Yu Fei has scored 48 points, more than half of which were scored by Pierce.

Pierce had no excuses but to defend with his head down.

Then, Yu Fei pulled the ball into his crotch with his back and turned around, and a set of ornamental movements were cleverly displayed, causing the fans in the garden to exclaim, and then shot at the top of Pierce's head.

"Huh!"

That was his 50th score of the night.

"Paul Pierce can't stop Fry, he just can't!"

As early as the third quarter, the Celtics recognized the fact that Pierce could not get a bargain on Yu Fei tonight, so they concentrated on playing inside.

How Yu Fei beat Pierce, Garnett how to beat Kwame Brown and Rashad Lewis.

It's just that in the same heyday, the scoring efficiency of the inside is difficult to compare with the outside players.

Garnett went one foot into the inside line, and Yu Fei was one foot higher on the outside line.

The supersonic speed, which had already taken the lead, was under the strong attack of Fei, and the lead slowly expanded.

It was 8 points at the end of the first half, 11 at the end of the third quarter, and now 14 points.

With five minutes left in the game, the 14-point gap was already huge.

Now is the time to go strong, and the Celtics need to maintain offensive stability on the inside.

But Garnett's penchant for shooting rather than fighting inside in life-and-death moments dooms him not to be a superstar who gives people a sense of security in critical moments.

Facing Brown, who was on the back of five fouls, Garnett made another turnaround jumper after hitting the ball.

"Bang!"

Brown took the defensive rebound and went straight to Yu Fei to pass the ball.

Yu Fei's terrifying offensive threat made the Celtic retreating personnel tacitly close, and they wanted to make a surprise attack.

"You want to stop me?"

Yu Fei sneered and suddenly threw the ball to the left side.

Kevin Durant followed up to the frontcourt, he didn't know that Yu Fei would pass, he just instinctively followed.

When the defensive attention was taken away by Yu Fei, he didn't think Yu Fei would pass the ball.

But he's still ready to catch and shoot.

He's a natural attacker.

Yu Fei unexpectedly passed the ball and was picked up by Durant, who was given him an open spot as large as the sea, and he remembered what he said in the locker room.

He will make up for the mistakes of the first half.

"How do you make up for mistakes? With that messy shot of yours? ”

Yu Fei's caustic sneer sounded in Durant's mind.

That's right, he's just going to fix his mistakes with a messy shot.

"Outside the three-point line on the left, Kevin Durant's three-pointer ~~~~~" Tom Heinsohn's voice sounded like he was going to have a heart attack, "and he shot!" This young man threw in! We can't give him an empty seat, we can't give him such a big empty seat!! ”

Heinsohn spoke to the fans, but everything was irretrievable.

Durant hit a heart-wrenching three-pointer to extend the SuperSonics' lead to 17 points, leaving the game with only four and a half minutes remaining.

Celtic asked for a timeout

Durant exhaled with relief, this wasn't a killer shot, not even a game-changing key shot, it was like the final nail in the coffin board for tonight's Celtics. Even without him, someone else would do the job. But it's up to him to do it, and the meaning is not the same.

Did the criminals in the first half really redeem themselves in the second half?

Yu Fei walked over.

Durant wanted to know what Yu Fei had to say about this, and he even hoped to hear some compliments from the other party's mouth, but how could he have such delusions? That's the opportunity created by the opponent's three-man defense, and if you don't shoot, you should shoot, and if you don't shoot, you die.

"Good shot." Yu Fei said flatly, "Keep it up." ”

That's enough, Duran in particular has nothing to ask for.
