NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 401 Let the opponent fly first for a while
In the last 2 minutes of the game, the score was 114 to 109, and the Celtics led by five points.

The Celtics have the ball, and Rondo controls the rhythm and wants to waste time.

Livingston stepped forward to press, but unfortunately failed to steal the ball.

After Rondo controlled for a while, he passed the ball to Pierce.

Pierce singled Maggette, but was assisted by He Xinghui, who missed a hasty shot.

He Xinghui grabbed the rebound and the Celtics quickly returned to defense.

He Xinghui dribbled the ball past halftime, and Ray Allen immediately rushed over to prevent He Xinghui from shooting a super long three-pointer.

Then He Xinghui broke through.

Relying on faster speed, He Xinghui passed Lei Allen.

However, Pierce had long been watching from the sidelines, and made up for He Xinghui's advancing route in time.

He Xinghui couldn't continue to make sudden changes, and he needed some room to change direction, and now he didn't even have room to maneuver.

He could only hit the ground and pass the ball to Maggette, and Maggette hit the basket and was blocked by Garnett.

Then, Garnett slammed his chest hard.

The Clippers still have the ball, but the offensive time is running out. They focused on blocking He Xinghui from receiving the ball.

Kaman could only pass the ball to Gasol, who was double-teamed by Garnett and Perkins, and barely threw the ball towards the basket.

As for whether it can be hit or not, it can only depend on God's will.

The ball missed and Garnett grabbed the rebound.

An offensive and defensive round took almost 40 seconds, and the point difference was still 5 points. The Celtics fans were very satisfied.

Then the Celtics attacked, Pierce singled Maggette, and after He Xinghui double-teamed, he gave the ball to Ray Allen in time.

Ray Allen made a three-pointer and scored.

This ball is tantamount to a death sentence for the Clippers. Now even if He Xinghui uses props, he may not be able to reverse it. After all, the Celtics' defense is too tight.

Therefore, He Xinghui has almost given up, but the star fans don't know yet, they are still waiting for a miracle.

You can get 35 points in 13 seconds, and now there are nearly 80 seconds left.

The Clippers attacked, He Xinghui passed the ball after attracting double-teams, and Kaman scored two points.

"Oh, how did you pass the ball? It doesn't make much sense to get two points now. It's reasonable for him to shoot the ball himself."

Zhang Lili said.

This time, Star Fan agreed with his words.

It's a pity that He Xinghui didn't do this, and the star fans couldn't figure it out, so they could only continue watching.

The Celtics missed the attack, but they managed to consume 22 seconds.

The Clippers wanted to play a fast break, but unfortunately the ball couldn't reach He Xinghui's hands, and Livingston could only shoot a three-pointer by himself.

Now, he can only gamble.

The ball was missed, and the players under the basket were desperately fighting for the rebound. In the chaos, it was unknown who dialed the ball to the outside.

He Xinghui once again picked up the leak like a ghost, picked up the rebound, and made a shot at the same time.

With 25 seconds left, the score was 117 to 114, and the Celtics only led by 3 points.

The fans at the scene began to cheer, this time they really saw hope.

As long as the Celtics are defended for one round, and then a three-pointer is tied, overtime can be played.

"Hold on, don't worry, we are ahead."

Pierce noticed something wrong with his teammates' expressions and quickly reminded him.

"As long as we score we are five points ahead."

Garnett said.

The timeout ended and both teams returned to the court.

Perkins served the ball, Rondo spent time on the outside after receiving the ball, and the Clippers did not press. At this time, their most important thing is to defend against the Celtics' offense and not allow the Celtics to score again.

The time was almost exhausted, and Garnett and others ran tactics.

Pierce helped Garnett block Gasol, and then Garnett received the ball. Maggette and Gasol had no time to switch defenses, so they had to come by themselves.

It's a pity that he is much shorter than Garnett, and his jumping did not cause too much interference to Garnett.

Garnett was lucky and scored.

The Celtics lead by 5 points, with 2.1 seconds left, the outcome has been decided.

Next, the Celtics don't need to defend, let the Clippers shoot, and the basketball will consume these two seconds in the air.

In front of the TV, the Celtics fans had already started cheering and celebrating, while the boat fans couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe that the team actually lost, and they couldn't believe that He Xinghui didn't turn the tide. This made them a little unaccustomed.

The game is over, but it's not over yet.

Even if there is no hope of a comeback, the Clippers will finish the remaining 2.1 seconds.

Dunleavy even called a timeout and arranged for the final offensive tactics.

When the two sides returned to the court, the Celtics made a symbolic defense, and He Xinghui caught the ball and shot.

When the ball is scored, the time is also reset.

119 to 117, the Celtics narrowly won by 2 points.

"I actually lost."

"How did you lose?"

"This unscientific."

There were many doubtful voices at the scene.

On the court, Garnett was roaring, Rondo was desperating, and Pierce was also celebrating.

He Xinghui humiliated the Celtics severely last season, and today can be regarded as revenge.

Although it is only a small victory, it is enough to win.

Lei Allen was also bad, and ran to He Xinghui to take the opportunity to pierce He Xinghui's heart.

However, before he could speak, He Xinghui spoke first instead.

He said: "You guys are not very good at this. I didn't explode and you all won so hard. Why do you play when I explode a little? Let's work hard and try to put some pressure on me in the finals."

After finishing speaking, he patted Ray Allen on the shoulder, then turned and left, leaving behind a messy Ray Allen in the wind.

To be honest, he didn't know if He Xinghui was showing off his shamelessness or telling the truth.

The game is over and the players have returned to the locker room.

The TV commentary is still counting the data performance of the players of the two teams.

For the Celtics, Garnett had 24 points and 12 rebounds, Pierce had 23 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Ray Allen had 27 points, and the Big Three scored 74 points, which is not particularly scary.

Rondo had 0 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists, a shocking stat.

Perkins had 9 points and 11 rebounds. When he came to the Celtics, he didn't have much possession of the ball, but he just played more time.

The Celtics' bench played well, James Posey 12 points, Tony Allen 8 points, PJ Brown 7 points, and the others had a total of 9 points.

They won on defense, allowing the Clippers to score 117 points, below normal.

For the Clippers, He Xinghui scored 40 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. All five statistics were recorded, and the most important three were in double figures, and he got a large triple-double.

Gasol 22 points, Livingston 11 points, Maggette 9 points, Kaman 8 points.

Barkley scored 8 points, Milicic 11 points, Millsap 6 points, Kassel 2 points.

"The Big Three are terrible. They alone scored 74 points. If the others just score points, the team can score hundreds of points."

Mike Breen said.

"In fact, their defense is good. It's normal to get this score against the Clippers. Today, the Clippers' firepower is weaker. The substitutes can't score. Charles is holding back."

Smith laughed.

Now that he is the commentator and Barkley is the player, he can taunt and ridicule his former partners on the show.

"My cousin's statistics are still excellent, a large triple-double. This is rare. Last season, my cousin only seemed to have three triple-doubles."

Mike Brin said.

"Well, the strength of the Clippers is still there, and losing 2 points to the Big Three doesn't mean anything."

Finally, Smith made a conclusion.

Judging from this game, the Clippers may not have the dominance of last season, but they are still a top team.

At the post-match press conference, the Clippers players attended first.

Dunleavy, He Xinghui, Barkley and Milicic attended.

"He, how do you feel about losing this focus battle?"

reporter asked.

"Oops, very bad, I don't think we're going to make the playoffs this season."

He Xinghui said solemnly.

"Please, Ho, I would like to hear some more serious answers."

The reporter couldn't help complaining.

The Clippers can't make the playoffs, this kind of talk is too nonsense.

"Seriously speaking, I don't feel much. It's normal to win or lose a game, and it's just a matter of winning next time."

He Xinghui said.

"Do you feel that the strength of your team has weakened, is it related to the joining of Charles?"

The reporter continued to shoot, trying to make a fuss about Barkley.

"No, I think the opponent has become stronger. Last season, we didn't meet any of the Big Three teams."

He Xinghui said.

"Don't the Spurs have a GDP?"

"Pfft, Parker is considered a giant? Sorry, I mean um, I mean Parker is not a giant."

He Xinghui said that the reporters were speechless, and the fans laughed.

"Then do you think you have a chance to defend your title when you meet the Celtics in the finals?"

reporter asked.

"Is it too early to ask that, I'm honestly not sure we'll make it to the Western Conference Finals."

He Xinghui continued to talk nonsense.

In desperation, the reporter could only turn the fire on others: "Charles, are you satisfied with your performance today? Do you think you have helped the team or dragged it down?"

"Of course it dragged the team back. My comeback is to drag my cousin back. The purpose is to keep the strength of the teams in the league as balanced as possible."

Barkley said very simply.

In fact, he also knows in his heart that as long as the Clippers win more games in the future, it doesn't matter how much he talks nonsense.

If you lose a lot of games in the future, it will be meaningless for you to refuse to admit it. The fans will definitely blame yourself.

Barkley's words left the reporter speechless and unable to answer.

"How does it feel to be back on the court?"

reporter asked.

"It's just amazing, it's amazing, I'm enjoying it."

Buckley.

"Dako, what about you? How does it feel to come to the Clippers? Do you want to prove yourself again in the Clippers?"

reporter asked.

"It feels great. He is a perfect leader. It is an honor to play with him. He helped me get a lot of points. It is also a novelty to be able to play with a famous player like Charles in the Clippers."

"Prove myself again? I don't care about this anymore. I just want to play well, do my job well, and complete the tasks assigned by the coach."

Milicic has a lot of emotions, but unfortunately he doesn't have so much time to express them.

Subsequently, the reporter asked Dunleavy.

"Mike, you lost the first game of the season, do you still have the confidence to defend the title?"

"No, try to make it to the playoffs."

Dunleavy also skinned.

"."

reporter.

Subsequently, the winner Celtics played.

Rivers attended with the Big Three.

"Kevin, how does it feel to win the defending champion team?"

reporter asked.

"It feels great, it's the game I want, and I feel like everything is falling into place."

Garnett said.

"Pierce, what are your goals for this season?"

reporter asked.

"Of course the championship, no doubt about it."

Pierce said confidently.

Now that the run-in is not perfect, they have won the Clippers. After the run-in is completed, wouldn't the advantage be greater?

In short, Pierce is very confident at this time.

"Ray, what about you, are you confident that you can beat the Clippers and your cousin in the Finals?"

reporter asked.

"Of course, although Cousin is very good and very difficult to deal with. However, I have many excellent teammates. Kevin, Paul and I can beat Cousin together."

Ray Allen told the truth, but Garnett and Pierce didn't like it a little.

It was nothing to be proud of, and they didn't want to admit it.

Sports news for the next day.

[Cousin lost the Celtics Big Three. 】

[The strength of the Clippers has seriously declined, and there is no hope of defending this year. 】

[The Big Three of the Celtics show their power and are unstoppable. 】

[The mysterious operation of the Clippers management may harm my cousin. 】

[The Pistons defeated the Cavaliers. Last season, the two finals teams encountered Waterloo one after another, and the league changed. 】

It was not until the very end that the news of Kobe and James appeared.

Compared with the Celtics Big Three and He Xinghui, the two of them are obviously not eye-catching enough, and the topic is not so high.

The Clippers lost their first game, and many basketball commentators jumped out to give pointers.

Some said the Clippers were dead, some said the Clippers lacked a professional attitude and treated the game like a joke, some said He Xinghui was too arrogant and must pay the price, and some said Sterling was an idiot and should sell the Clippers.

In short, they are not optimistic about the Clippers this season.

"What the hell?"

"Wait for my cousin to slap me in the face."

Those articles were mainly for Xing Hei, and Xing Hei just laughed at this.

They won't lose confidence in He Xinghui just because the Clippers lost a game, it's not that exaggerated.

After all, He Xinghui had completely conquered them with countless miracles last season.

On November 11, the Clippers played against the Suns at home and won 1 to 124, giving those experts a slap in the face.

The Suns are a strong team, but the Clippers still won, and it was not difficult to win.

Facts have proved that although the Clippers have become weaker, they are not too weak.

On the same day, the Celtics 110 to 72, slaughtered the Eagles by 38 points, and the defending Eagles players wanted to cry but had no tears.

The fans exclaimed that it was not that the Clippers had become weaker, but that the Celtics' Big Three were too strong.

The Clippers were able to score 117 points under the defense of the Celtics, which is already very scary.

After two games, the happiest thing is the Celtics fans. They already feel that they are invincible and the championship is close at hand.

For a time, the Celtics had a bright future.
