The Celtics are also the second team in the East after the Bulls.

In terms of strength, why are the Cavaliers on par with the Celtics in the Big Three, and it is difficult to separate?

In the final analysis, James got the same script as Howard, and the Celtics Big Three were powerful and had nowhere to go, and they fouled James as soon as they touched it, and they couldn't defend it at all.

It is precisely because of this that if it is not for the return to Boston, the Celtics' crucial G5 will also be explained.

However, after surviving G5, the Celtics finally managed to see the moon.

This is mainly due to O'Neal's destructive power on the inside, which is too strong!

The Cavaliers' two major centers, Big Z and Vallejo, were both bruised by O'Neal's shark splash.

Although O'Neal has consumed a lot, O'Neal is talented, thick-skinned, and strong, and has not accumulated too many injuries in this series.

In fact, it can also be seen from O'Neal's injury reports over the years how terrifying O'Neal's historical talent is.

As one of the top 10 superstars in history, O'Neill's endurance talent is undoubtedly full!

Other hand-to-hand centers have to worry about knee problems.

Look at O'Neal again, even if he doesn't train and weighs 400 pounds, he can still eat his opponent on the court with his back on his back, and stage violent dunks from time to time.

In the process of hand-to-hand combat with other centers, the other centers played two or three games, and felt that their bodies had been scrapped.

For example, Mutombo originally planned to play in the NBA at the age of 50, but because of the Finals tough fight against O'Neal, his vitality was greatly injured, and then he collapsed and had to retire a few years early.

Now Big Z and Vallejo are also facing the same serious problem, obviously full of pain.

But because the playoffs are not over yet, I can only wear ice packs and bandages on the court at all times, and continue to run in front of O'Neal to be beaten.

Of course, Valejo's injuries are slightly better than those of the big Z.

After all, Vallejo knows how to avoid reality and avoid O'Neill's impact. In addition, it can also help the Cavaliers staff wipe the game floor a little cleaner.

However, Vallejo did not dare to perform mopping the floor in front of O'Neill all the time.

After all, it is still possible to cause an accident if you accidentally trip O'Neill when you fall, and then O'Neill may be pressed up by a Tarzan and directly crushed him.

O'Neill's 400-pound weight is not an ornament!

It's like a road steamroller, whoever is touched by O'Neill, it's all flour dough that is instantly pressed into a dough.

Don't you see, O'Neill flew to save the ball, and the audience on the sidelines scattered directly and escaped more than ten meters away?

It is also because of O'Neal's incomparable destructive power that the Cavaliers couldn't withstand it inside and became a breakthrough.

After the G6 battle, the Cavaliers finally lost to the Celtics, and this season stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

However, this is not a bad thing for Big Z and Vallejo.

After all, the knight's money is a bit difficult to get, and this hard-earned money is all earned by injuries.

Now that the ordeal is finally over, they are finally out of the sea of suffering and can go to the hospital to recuperate.

"What's wrong Kevin, why are you sweating?"

It can only be said that the Celtics advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the pressure came to the Bulls' interior.

The Celtics' big three didn't work together well enough in the opener, and the Celtics didn't know how to get the ball to O'Neal.

But now it's different, after a season, the Celtics, whether it's Rondo or Pierce, can pass the ball to O'Neal.

The Bulls just want to limit O'Neal's receiving by going around the front defense, and then limit O'Neal's interior offense, which may not be so easy.

Therefore, Garnett's hard resistance to O'Neal will still be unavoidable at that time.

Maybe the Bulls can still continue to rely on the fast break to accelerate the consumption of O'Neal, but even if O'Neal has less playing time, fewer offenses and fewer scoring statistics, it is still a bug for the seven-game series.

As long as O'Neal is there, it will inevitably cause a lot of consumption and even damage to the Bulls' interior players.

And this season, the Bulls' goal is not just to beat the Celtics to advance to the Finals. Winning the grand finals and winning the last championship needed to build a dynasty is the most important thing!

Then, from now on, it is necessary to protect the interior players led by Garnett and reduce the consumption between the Eastern Conference Finals and the Celtics as much as possible.

After all, the Bulls don't know at this time what kind of "surprise" the final opponent will bring to them after reaching the finals.

On May 19, when the Spurs defeated the Mavericks by 7 points in the tiebreaker, the two teams in the Western Conference finals were officially determined, namely the Lakers and the Spurs, who are the first in the West, and the Spurs, who are third in the West.

In this way, the plot is a bit similar to last season.

For Bryant, it must be good news that he can meet the Spurs again in the Western Conference Finals.

For Doon, it wouldn't be a bad thing to be able to play the Lakers for a while in the Finals.

Of course, the most important thing to pay attention to at the moment is the Eastern Conference Finals.

Even if the Bulls wait for the Celtics for a long time, and the Celtics have just played six games against the Cavaliers, which consumes a lot.

The Bulls have four All-Stars, the Celtics have three All-Stars, and it's 4-3, and the advantage is in my case.

However, in the event of a capsizing in the gutter, all the efforts made this season will be in vain.

In order to reduce the occurrence of accidents, the bull once again sacrificed protective equipment such as the cuirass.

Only this time it was not for Doon, but to protect the health of Garnett, Josh Smith, Milicic, Chris Webber and others.

Because it would be uncomfortable to play with a cuirass rashly, and it would be uncomfortable to be uncomfortable.

In order to reduce the negative impact on the wearer's personal offensive and defensive ends when wearing a cuirass to play games, the Bulls had to conduct special training in advance to help Garnett and others adapt to the feeling of playing with a cuirass as soon as possible.

However, the time was urgent, and it was May 20 in a blink of an eye.

The Eastern Conference Finals G1 between the Bulls and the Celtics were once again played at the Chicago Union Center.

In order to reduce the physical consumption of Garnett and Josh Smith, Doon represented the Bulls and went to the center circle to jump the ball with O'Neal.

Perhaps O'Neal also wanted to save his physical strength, and the jump ball didn't work too hard, and Doon easily helped the Bulls jump to the ball.

By the time Kassel dribbled past half court, Doon was already on the flank, ready to play Pierce with his back.

In fact, as long as the Celtics don't wrap up, Doane plays the Celtics' three outside players, and whoever he plays is misplaced.

Therefore, there is no need to specifically face Rondo or Ray Allen, and the said Rondo can be played more easily by taking advantage of his height.

However, there is nothing wrong with Doon using offense to wear down Pierce.

The head coach of the Celtics is the famous pig-headed coach Rivers, who is a good hand at playing locker rooms and playing chicken blood, and when it comes to specific tactical on-the-spot arrangements, he has nothing to do.

Now the offensive end of the Celtics is either solved by Rondo on the court, or by the personal ability of the Big Three led by Pierce.

Doon has confidence in Garnett's defense, with both Rondo and O'Neal being limited by Garnett.

All that remains is to weaken Pierce's ball-handling offense as much as possible.

After all, Ray Allen is just a pitcher and can only be an X-factor.

Pierce, on the other hand, can be the decisive player in the Celtics team.

However, no matter how solid Pierce's basic skills are, no matter how good his skills are, his physical talents are relatively limited.

There is nothing commendable except for endurance, full injury resistance, and full blood resurrection after 35 seconds and 11 knives.

Playing this kind of player who is not good at physical hardware, as long as he consumes him with an attack, it is easy to get it.

is as strong as Curry, who can't afford to be named and consumed in the playoffs, and Pierce is naturally no exception.

Having said that, Cassel saw that Doon was already in position, and the Celtics did not pinch Doon at the first time, so he immediately passed the ball over.

Doon took the ball and hit it directly to the basket with his back, because Doon had a long enough range and had an absolute advantage in power against Pierce, so he didn't have to worry about his back for three seconds.

Pierce could only take a deep breath and puff up his chest in the face of Doon's back hit, while using some small movements to disrupt Doon's dribbling rhythm.

But in just a second, Doon had already crushed Pierce from the three-point line to the free throw line.

Seeing this, Rondo saw that the situation was not right, and immediately came over to attack.

After all, Cassel is better at mid-range and not very good at three-point shooting, and Cassel can put this point aside for a while.

However, before Rondo could flank Doon, Doon had already turned his back and broke through, relying on the advantage of turning speed and stride length to pass Pierce in one fell swoop.

And O'Neal was also shocked by Doon's little spinning top and didn't get out of the basket in time.

As soon as Doon stepped into the paint area, he immediately hooked his hand.

At first, O'Neal was actually stuck with Garnett, thinking that this hasty shot would be iron.

However, O'Neal looked at the trajectory of Doon's ball and guessed that there was a high probability that it would be scored.

Sure enough, Doane threw the ball in as soon as he came up, helping the Bulls take the lead by 2 points.

“MVP，MVP，MVP！”

Because it was playing at the Union Center, the Bulls fans at the scene did not disappoint Doon and immediately cheered.

In the face of the overwhelming shouts like a tide, Celtics power forward P.J. Brown wanted to serve quickly, but was also affected by the scene and froze in place.

It wasn't until Rondo stepped forward and urged P.J. Brown to serve that P.J. Brown came to his senses.

At this time, most of the Bulls players have walked near the center circle and are about to retract into the backcourt.

Because the Celtics have O'Neal in the starting lineup, the Celtics basically only play positional battles, so the Bulls are not pressing all the time.

When Rondo dribbled past half court, O'Neal covered Rondo from beyond the three-point line and then went down to catch the ball.

Garnett first cooperated with Kassel to delay the pinching of Rondo, and at the same time, Doon also retreated to the front of the paint area, ready to help the defense.

Rondo was pinched and found that O'Neal was not very good at receiving the ball at this time, and could only pass the ball to Pierce, who had relatively little pressure on the defense.

When Doon saw this, he immediately stepped forward, and by the time Pierce got the ball, Doon was already back in front of Pierce.

One thing to say, Pierce is also quite interesting, showing off a super low finger dribble in front of Doon in front of him, as if hoping to lure Doon forward to intercept it.

Doon is tall and has a high center of gravity, even if the core strength is very strong, bending down and reaching out to pick up the ball and then standing up again will waste 0.34 seconds of time because the center of gravity is unstable.

And this time was enough for Pierce to start and break past Doon.

For this reason, Doon did not reach out for the ball, but squatted down the horse.

Seeing this, Pierce didn't drag his feet, and directly stepped back to make a three-point shot.

Before Harden figured out the rules of the game, Pierce was the league's master of step-back.

Pierce stepped back without dragging his feet, closing the ball back and then jumping, leaning back with his top half and kicking his bottom body to make sure the defender in front of him couldn't block.

In order to prevent being kicked by Pierce Miller and to avoid injury to his second brother, Doon did not fly forward towards Pierce, but jumped on the spot and reached out to block.

However, Pierce's goal was not low, and Doon didn't block it.

Fortunately, Pierce is better at mid-range and doesn't have that much grasp of the three-point shot.

When Doon turned to look at the basket, he saw that the basketball had smashed into the front of the basket, obviously a little shorter.

Duang——

As the sound of striking iron sounded, a group of people rushed to the basket to scramble for rebounds.

O'Neal was in a good position and the rebound was not far, so he jumped directly in the air for a second attack, reached out and clicked, and put the ball in the basket.

However, what I didn't expect was that O'Neal helped Celtic tie the score, and Luol Deng had already run to the front court while everyone was not paying attention.

Ray Allen didn't follow Rohr Deng, but Josh Smith slipped straight to the bottom of the basket and grabbed the baseline ball to pass the ball to the frontcourt.

After receiving the ball, Luol Deng did not choose to directly force Ray Allen, but passed the ball to Doon, who followed up.

Before the game started, the Bulls established the core idea of playing fast break.

The Celtics are not as physically gifted as the Bulls, plus O'Neal is dragging down the speed.

Like this round, with the fast break of Roel Deng and Doon, the Celtics will definitely not be able to defend.

When Ray Allen saw Doon flying into the air, he also took the initiative to avoid it, and he didn't think of committing a foul.

After Doane completed the dunk, the Bulls quickly returned to defense again, resolutely not giving the Celtics a chance to switch offense.

At this time, O'Neill, who ran to the middle circle, could only turn around again and walk to the top of the arc while panting.

The Celtics attacked the round and continued to try to play Rondo and O'Neal to block and dismantle.

The Bulls repeated their old tricks, using Garnett's big delay and Doon's help to separate Rondo and O'Neal.

This time, Rondo didn't pass the ball to Pierce in the middle of the pitch, after all, Doon had proven agility and traverse speed in the previous round.

In order to be able to chase the points, Rondo passed the ball to P.J. Brown on the wing, who got the ball and passed it to Ray Allen, who ran up on-hand, and then hung up a cover for Ray Allen.

At this time, looking at Ray Allen, he made a decisive move, did not re-dribble and adjust, but jumped directly and threw the ball in his hand.

Brush –

A graceful parabola is drawn through the air, and the basketball goes straight into the net.

"Sure enough, the playoffs are still different."

Although Doon feels that there is a great hope of winning, he has not underestimated the Celtics with the Big Three.

This is the reason why Doon actively assists in defense and wants to limit O'Neal.

It's just that this time he was caught by Ray Allen, and he felt good, and hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up.

But so what?

"Three-pointers, I will too!"

Seeing Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, Doon immediately beckoned to his teammates on the inside for the ball.

Doon was ready to take advantage of the transition offense and shoot a three-pointer.

Ray Allen's defensive attention was no longer on Doon, and he didn't notice that Doon reached for the ball, only to see that the moment the ball went in, Roel Deng turned and ran like crazy again.

In order to restrain Roel Deng, Ray Allen hurried back to catch up.

And Doon, who ran to the middle circle at this time, was also marked by Pierce.

However, Doon still relied on his height to get the ball when he first stepped into the frontcourt, and then continued to accelerate towards the basket.

Pierce is stuck by Doon's ball protector and can't pull out the ball and doesn't want to give up on Doon.

However, Doon burst into front of the three-point line, suddenly stopped and closed the ball and made a passing action.

Pierce subconsciously glanced at Roel Deng under the basket, who would have thought that at this time, Doon suddenly jumped up, and then made a three-point shot!

Brush –

"In! Respond to the ball! ”

"In the first two minutes, it was all Doon's scores!" (End of chapter)
