Chapter 299 Breaking through the North Shore Garden Center, one time is enough

5月27日晚上09:30，老鹰队和凯尔特人的G4在北岸花园中心如期举行。

Compared with the Cavaliers in the semifinals, the Celtics are the first team to defeat the Eagles head-on in the playoffs this season; although Jermaine O'Neal's "big quality" is much "water" compared to Garnett, But Ray Allen and Pierce are still genuine "ruthless characters"; the former has the only outside shooting threat in the league today, and is a standard big-hearted player; the latter is one of the most comprehensive wing singles in the league. It is the most stable scoring that can be achieved with the most unpretentious technical movements!

Keeping the G4 game, the Celtics still have two chances to try to break through the Phillips Center. If the Eagles expand the total score to 3:1, with the Celtics' "away bug" attributes, they want It is basically unrealistic to win all the next three games; under the encouragement of Rivers, in this game, the generals of the Celtics really took this game as a life-and-death battle!

At the beginning of the game, they used high-intensity flanking attacks against the Eagles' double guns in the backcourt to limit the offense of the two. Rondo, Ray Allen, and Pierce spared no effort to defend the Eagles' outside offense. , had to be more offensive by Garnett on the inside!Catch up with Garnett's offensive touch today, and the Celtics' defensive strategy can be considered "effective", successfully suppressing the Eagles' offense; after the first quarter, the Celtics led by 28 points at 23:5.

In the second quarter of the game, the Celtics are still making a fuss on the defensive end. The defensive bite ability of the bench lineup of Cassell, Tony Allen, and James Posey is even better than that of the main lineup!Tony Allen, in particular, shined in this game, stealing the ball from Barea one after another, and using the fast break opportunity to score, helping the Celtics widen the point difference to double digits!

The Eagles have a strong main lineup, but there are indeed few people who can organize on the bench; every day, Bareasheng will lead the rhythm, or Joe Johnson will adjust the playing time to rotate the lineup and organize the offense, catching up with today's strong team. The enemy, Barea was "choked to death" again, so it became more difficult!

In this round of the series, Rivers' on-the-spot command was not as good as Ke Yan, and he made many mistakes!But at the critical moment of this game, he made a quite correct decision!When Ke Yan replaced Paul and Joe Johnson in advance to increase his offensive firepower, he did not let the main lineup keep up, but continued to let Tony Allen and James Posey, who performed well, go up and consume them!In this way, more rest time can be won for Ray Allen and Pierce, and the current defensive quality can also be maintained!Consume more physical energy of the Eagles' main players!

Tony Allen, who has some "crazy" attributes, has begun to show his future "I don't understand offensive things, but you don't want to understand" traits. "It was quite uncomfortable to play, and the point difference has been maintained at 8 to 12 points.

At halftime, the Celtics led the Eagles by 57 points at 47:10!

In the second half of the game, Ke Yan changed into a small lineup and arranged for Sefolosha to replace Dior on the stage, playing an outside space point while defending Ray Allen; Garnett was pushed to the center position!

This trick adjustment really worked, and Perkins became the "breakthrough" of the Eagles not surprisingly.He and Jermaine O'Neal's partner has the advantage of height and size in the interior, but there is no way to kill Garnett on the offensive end; on the defensive end, Perkins can't defend against it, and the Eagles "pass three times and fall twice." , it is easy to find an open shot opportunity!

如果不是塞弗罗沙空位出手的命中率仅为5投2中的话，老鹰队断不至于在第三节结束后仅仅反超1分！（79:80）

The single quarter was overturned by the Eagles by 11 points!Rivers finally learned how to behave. In the fourth quarter of the game, he replaced Perkins with James Posey, and he also played as a major and a junior!The two teams that were supposed to have a "meat grinder battle" suddenly played a "confrontation".

Paul VS Rondo; Sefolosha VS Ray Allen; Joe Johnson VS Posey; Battier VS Pierce; Garnett VS O'Neal.In such a matchup, it can be clearly found that the Celtics have certain advantages in height and body shape, and these advantages are quickly reflected in the rebounding data!

The Celtics overtook the score, and Rivers on the sidelines was very excited.Not only because the team has regained the initiative on the field, but also because he seems to have found the advantage in the Celtics lineup. Maybe, this round of Series Four will change because of the trend of this quarter!

Seeing that the game was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to the team, Ke Yan called a timeout with 4 minutes left in the game. First, he replaced Sefolosha, who was better at defending, with Barea, who was more capable of holding the ball. Go and defend Ray Allen; secondly, make arrangements for Rondo, cut off his passing route as much as possible, and let him shoot from outside the three-point line!The Celtics are "dominant in size", and the Eagles won by relying on their speed. The first round of offense returned from a timeout. The Eagles' dual point guard configuration made the Celtics' defense at a loss. Barea easily used the pick-and-roll to break into the basket. After attracting the defense, Battier hit the basket and scored! (99:97)

Looking back, the Celtics attacked.Rondo held the ball at the top of the arc, and there was no one within three meters in front of him. Seeing that the Eagles didn't take him seriously, Rondo stopped thinking about looking for his teammates, adjusted his rhythm, raised his bow and arrow, and made a three-pointer!

"Boom!"

The Eagles dared to defend like this because they had prepared for the rebounds in the backcourt. The retracted Joe Johnson protected the rebounds in the backcourt. After advancing two steps, he launched a fast break and passed it to the fast-moving Barea. The latter counterattacked and attacked. Frame, pulled down by Pierce!

Against the boos of the audience, Barea made two free throws to tie the score. (99:99)

Barea's appearance was like a sharp knife piercing the Celtics' heart, but at this time, Rivers had no cards to deal with him!

Back on the offensive end, Rondo was still emptied.This time, Rondo didn't choose to take a rash outside shot, but forced a hand-to-hand cooperation with Pierce. While dividing the ball, he helped Pierce block Battier's defense. Pierce took the ball and took a step inside the free throw line, attracting After Garnett's supplementary defense, he split the ball inside, O'Neal received the ball, facing the supplementary defense, Battier threw the ball to the neck of the basket!

This wave of cooperation has been completely played out, and this is not a shot, it is purely a matter of ability!O'Neal didn't score this goal, which basically sounded the death knell for the Celtics!

Affected by this ball, the Celtics players had problems on the next defensive end. Paul broke through to the penalty area like a leisurely stroll, and easily scored with a throw. (99:101)

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, making the home fans a little puzzled!What makes them even more puzzling is that Rivers has not called a timeout for a long time, allowing the situation to ferment on the court!

The Celtics' offense was finally completed. Ray Allen made an emergency stop after covering off the ball. Paul's defense has been done relatively well, but unfortunately he is indeed a little short! (101:101)

Before the home fans could recover, the Eagles arrived again!It was still Paul and Garnett's high pick-and-roll. The Wolf King stayed at the horns, received a pass from Paul, took a tentative step and tapped Ray Allen, and then easily pulled out his hand and made a hit! (101:103)

At the end of the game, the Eagles were using the most commonly used scoring defense to score points; while the Celtics. . . . . .You can only rely on the personal ability of the star;

Foul-making expert Pierce made a mistake this time!In the last 2 minutes of the game, the referee will not blow the whistle easily.Even the home team is the same!Barea advances quickly, before Pierce comes up to foul the ball to Joe Johnson, who scores a fast break dunk! (101:105)

When Joe Johnson dunked the basketball, Ke Yan clenched his fists on the sidelines to celebrate!This time, the advantage of the Eagles is more obvious!

Rivers finally called a timeout. With the help of this timeout, Ke Yan replaced Barea with Anderson, and saw through Rondo's trick of direct lobbing to the frame in the next sideline ball tactic. Anderson directly blocked the ball, and The first time called pause!

After this wave of ball conversion, the Celtics completely lost the possibility of a comeback, and finally lost to the Eagles 104:113, falling behind by a big score of 1:3!

After the game, the visiting team's locker room became a sea of ​​celebration!In this game, the Celtics' resistance was tenacious enough!Because of this, the Eagles' victory is even more worthy of celebration!

In contrast, there was a dead silence in the auditorium of the North Shore Garden Center!After losing G4, it is too difficult for the Celtics to come back!

After all, it was an away game, on someone else's land; at the press conference after the game, Ke Yan did not choose to pretend: "I will always remind my players that the Celtics are a team that has won 16 championships in history. And they have been working hard towards the 17th championship, we need to pay attention to this opponent. Whether it is when the series is not over, or in the next season, the next season... ..."

"Do you think the Celtics still have a chance?" the reporter asked.

"I have no way to give an answer, but I don't want to come back! Breaking through the North Shore Garden Center, once a season is enough!"

When the big score came to 3:1, Rivers' spirit was basically gone!However, when talking about the reasons for the failure, he did not blame O'Neal, but took the responsibility himself: "I hope this is not the last time we play at the North Shore Garden Center this season. Our goal is to come back!"

Except for Nabaria's helplessness in the last few minutes, Rivers' performance in this game is pretty good; It is a bold attempt!
