Forward to the basket

To be able to narrowly win by two points in the AT&T Center Arena is definitely a thrilling experience.

In an interview after the game, Rivers said very bluntly, "Our luck is better. In this way, tactically, both sides rarely make mistakes. It's like playing in the finals. God is on my side. Here."

They won the game, but the Celtics did not respond arrogantly, especially Rivers, who seemed very low-key. It can be seen that this crazy fight of more than 40 minutes left everyone with lingering fears.

As Rivers himself said, the confrontation rhythm of this game is no different from that of the playoffs.

It can even be said that even if they reach the finals, it is estimated that the strength is only at this level. Both sides are catching each other's weaknesses, and once they catch them, they will fight to the death, leaving no way for the opponent to retreat.

The fouls committed by both sides are extremely targeted, basically there are no extra tricks, what is needed is to hit the nail on the head.

**Vich found a way to take the lead, and Rivers also fought back. You come and go, you are not polite, and some are just a sudden blow after clenching your fist. When you hit the opponent, you are ready to die!

It's just that Rivers had better luck this night. In the last few seconds, God chose him.

The two sides were entangled until the last second of the game, but the Celtics had better luck. They seized the opportunity to make a shot. When facing Duncan's top defense, Chen Feng even dared to take a risky shot.

At that time, Thibodeau felt that Rivers was holding the tactical board nervously. After the ball was scored, this guy directly threw the tactical board out. Fortunately, there were no accidents after all.

This kid Chen Feng played very gambled, he rarely took the initiative to pull to the top of the arc to shoot, but this time, it was really a bit of a surprise, everyone thought he was going to cover, but in the end, this kid shot by himself!

Murphy, who was in the press box, was already holding his breath. He was really afraid that the basketball would bounce out of the basket, and he didn't even dare to take a breath. He was afraid that the fluctuations in the air would affect the flight trajectory of the basketball.

And Xie Miaomiao grabbed the laptop tightly, and then, the computer that had been working for almost a year was completely scrapped because of a ball. This is not military equipment, and it is difficult to withstand a sudden drop.

Maybe even Duncan, an old bone, didn't expect that bald wild boy who had been in the three-second zone with him for almost a whole game, would suddenly go to the periphery at the last moment and step on the three-point line to make a shot.

"Luck? Maybe, but I don't think anyone will refuse the good luck of winning the game. I hope that in the next game against the Celtics, God will take care of me on my side."

Listening to Rivers' evaluation of the game, Vitch seemed very calm as a loser, but the old guy obviously didn't intend to attribute this to luck.

If it is luck, then under Duncan's close defense, he can still score 25 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocked shots.

Even Duncan said, "Chen is very strong, and he was very calm in the last shot. This is not luck. He has thought about it before making the shot. It is not a blind gamble. I did not expect such a result."

"But before the next meeting, I will definitely keep this lesson in mind, just like the Lakers' 0.4 seconds."

It's rare that Duncan can talk so much, but it can be seen that the loss of this game did not actually affect the fighting spirit of the old bones of the Spurs, but made them more tenacious.

Maybe you can only give such an evaluation if you have personally confronted that kid. Don't look at Duncan who scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in the game, but he still lost in the end.

It's just that such a game doesn't change much. As Rivers said, if you really meet an opponent like the Spurs in the playoffs, you will never have a good chance of winning.

Regardless of the fact that these old bones have gradually declined from their professional peaks, their experience and overall degree of kneading can still kill many new-generation teams that perform youth storms in seconds.

"If the Spurs and Cavaliers have another Finals, the winner will still be San Antonio. For this, I have no doubt that Mike Brown's team does not have this toughness."

Of course, this sentence is just what the Celtics say. It's not because they are afraid of the little emperor's strong fan base. It's just that there are some things that would be meaningless if they really said it.

If you really feel that you can win, then touch those old bones. Facts always speak louder than words. Facing the playoff matchups that the Cleveland media is hyping up, the Celtics are still not interested.

If the Cavaliers led by the little emperor can push the Celtics to the edge like the Spurs, then the Celtics will definitely be wary of them, but they don't have such a threat yet.

Just like what Chen Feng himself said after the game, "I am very honored to have won."

This is like giving an accurate evaluation of an opponent who deserves your respect, instead of saying after winning the game, they actually played very well, but today our performance was even better.

The little emperor has often said such things, but in Chen Feng's view, this is his farting.

It's better to say that he played better, is it interesting to boast in disguise?If you win, you win.

And it was very dangerous for you to win, so you have to say something for your opponent instead of talking about official formulas. Although the Spurs were defeated this night, Chen Feng was able to win Duncan in the confrontation, but he didn't conquer that guy.

Therefore, it is an honor to win. It only means that he chose the right shot at the last moment.

It doesn't mean that he and the Celtics have been able to put the Spurs under their feet. The outcome has not yet been scored. Everything is uncertain. If they can meet on the stage of the finals in the playoffs, it will be a very important event. It was a good battleground. After the match, Chen Feng bumped Duncan's fist deliberately.

This wasn't a relationship, but Chen Feng was making an appointment with Duncan for the next duel. He hadn't really defeated this old bone. Just like a confrontation on the street, this fight was just a temporary draw.

"Waiting for you in the playoffs." These two big guys have already made an appointment in advance with voices that can be heard by each other.

Won the game, but the Celtics didn't have much time to celebrate such a victory.

Their journey in the West is one game after another. The narrow victory over the Spurs is just the beginning. After the game, they directly boarded the flight to Denver. Even their physical recovery can only be a dream.

A day after beating the Spurs, the Celtics have to face the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

The combination of Iverson and Anthony's "golden guns" can only bring the Nuggets to the seventh position in the West, but these two guys averaged nearly 55 points per game, which is really terrifying.

And they have been able to win consecutive games in the last few games, also because there is a cramp jr Smith in the lineup.

Plus Camby and Kenyon Martin, a pair of inside gates, not only have enough destructive power on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, their hot pot feasts often let their opponents return without success. Although these guys' average points per game are high, but in terms of winning percentage at home, the Mavericks and Spurs may be better than them.

This is a typical local snake. It is weak at home and weak away. Many people may say that their record is too unstable, but in the Pepsi Center Arena, they really rarely lose games.

Facts have also proved that there is no reason for these guys to be named local snakes. I don't know if it is because the fierce battle with the Spurs has not slowed down. Anyway, the Celtics were beaten in the opening stage.

Iverson's breakthrough may not be as fast as when he singled out the Lakers, but this guy's offensive touch is still very buggy, and his shots after the breakthrough are still accurate and scary.

Maybe Iverson's lightning first step has been slow, but when facing Rondo's marking, he can still cut into the inside, throw the basketball out before the pinch is formed, and listen to the sound of brushing the net.

And Anthony, who is active on the outside, belongs to that kind of typical pitcher. In addition, he is still crazy alone. If he can't hit well, if you give him an open chance, he may not be able to shoot.

But once you can't restrain his desire to shoot, then it's not uncommon for this guy to score forty or fifty points in a game.

Entering the league in the same batch as the little emperor, Anthony's shooting is far more accurate than the little emperor and Wade, but this guy's mentality is not as mature as those two guys, so he has never been destined for the championship.

But you really don't know when he will erupt, and once it erupts, how lethal it will be.

As a result, the Celtics caught up. From the first shot after the start of the game, Anthony seemed to be wound up. From the inside to the outside, from the mid-range to the three-pointer, this guy is crazy up!

Scored 30 points in two quarters!This is the destructive attack that Anthony brought after he turned on the plug-in mode.

And Iverson's 12 points, 3 assists and 3 steals made Rondo very embarrassed and could only defend passively.

However, the thundering shouts in the Pepsi Center still failed to widen the score gap between the two sides. Even though Anthony and Iverson's "golden guns" fired again and again, they only led by three points after halftime.

And that was thanks to Anthony Carter's magical halftime [-]-pointer before the game ended.

If he hadn't thrown such a shot that spanned more than half of the court, the two sides could only maintain a tie.

The fans of the Nuggets didn't want to understand, when their team was fully fired, why the green shirts who came from afar were able to pull back the score little by little under unfavorable circumstances.

Garnett's 15 points are not that dazzling, but Ray Allen's 10 points, Pierce's 8 points, and Chen Feng's 10 points, when these add up, they just offset the role of the Nuggets' dual core .

"Since the opponent has gone crazy, then we can only play with them as a whole, let the firepower be more scattered, and completely tear up the defense line of these guys!"

This is the effect of Rivers' roar. The Celtics' beasts may not have the touch of Anthony's shooting, but you can't hold back the rebounds of these guys.

42:17, this is just the statistics at the end of the second quarter, Camby and Martin, there is no chance at all.

Garnett teamed up with Chen Feng, two rebounding madmen, they just kept getting rebounds and then attacking!

Not only did they have enough chances for the second attack, but they also interspersed with running to cover each other, so that the Celtics could always get rid of the pursuers and get a reasonable open shot.

Not once?Then do it again?Didn't get in this time?Then completely suppress the opponent's attack!

One point, two points, the gap was narrowed, and then tied. Although Anthony Carter's shot allowed the Nuggets to keep the Nuggets ahead at halftime, how long can he last?

Unless this guy is like jr Smith, the jerk is endless, and the poor jr guy can't find the touch, so why do you believe that Anthony Carter can be the savior?

So what if you have a savior?do not forget!You are facing the Celtics!It is the first in the league!

In the third quarter of the game, in the understanding of the Nuggets fans, it should be their team attacking again.

Then the Celtics were defeated in one wave!But what they waited for was indeed Chen Feng and Garnett's strong surprise attack on Camby and Martin. They made six of six shots in the confrontation at the basket, and directly knocked out the Nuggets!

"What the hell, get out!", I don't know what Rivers said in the locker room, anyway, after Martin came up, before he could move his hands and feet, he was dunked again by Chen Feng while shouting violently.

A tough offensive choice not only brought the score close again, but also cooled the atmosphere in the Pepsi Center. The counterattack of the Celtics also started from this moment.

68 points, this is the score scored by the "Golden Two Guns" combination in the whole game, but it failed to bring victory.

Anthony, who scored 42 points, gave up his plan to continue to fight after halfway through the fourth quarter. The gap has been widened to double digits, which exhausted the Denver Nuggets.

Iverson, who personally scored 26 points, also failed to reproduce the magical performance that killed the Lakers in Los Angeles.

"Don't try to win a game when you have only two guys on your team who can perform properly."

George Karl complained after the game, but his words only showed that on the one hand, the explosion of the Nuggets was concentrated on Iverson and Anthony, and everyone else became decorations.

But he ignored how terrible the stable performance of the Celtics is. Whether those guys are leading or lagging behind, they just use pass and cut cooperation to tear up the Nuggets' defense time and time again.

So what if Camby and Martin can block five shots?Can you stop those seven Celtics scoring in double figures?Can you keep your team shooting [-] percent in the last two quarters?

Indiscriminate shooting without forced shots, the Celtics explained to the Nuggets what a reasonable offense is.

With such a reasonable tactical arrangement, they shredded Denver's attempt to win.

Those reporters thought it was a series of fatal thresholds that would kill the Celts, but they had already been trampled down by those fierce guys. Those beasts in Boston really seemed to be unstoppable...

(I hope Kobe can get well sooner. After all, he can be regarded as a fighter. In terms of personal character, he is far stronger than a certain emperor. At least he didn’t leave Los Angeles until the end. He didn’t want someone, and finally ran away Also, I hope that my classmates in the United States will pay attention to safety recently. Xiao Mu, Cup, Fanchou, Daniao, you all take care of yourselves, and I wish Xiaofanchou a happy birthday. Well, you are one year older, and you too It's time to find a girl, or I'll really think you're having an affair with Montenegro.)
