Center first

Chapter 432 Rivers' Sigh
The Celtics fans at the TD North Bank Garden Arena finally saw the big four of the Celtics play a hearty attack on the field, and they were completely attracted by the crazy impact of the two teams Yes, these crazy Boston fans felt the deadly thrill of the scoring frenzy for the first time, because the score refresh rate on that field was almost beyond their ability to bear.

If today's ESPN broadcasters were thinking about killing the Filipino during the first quarter, then after the second quarter, they even wanted to rush out of the broadcasting station to kiss that guy, What TV viewers need to see is this kind of confrontation scene. If ESPN wants to make money, he absolutely does not want to repeat the twelve minutes just passed. Only offense, crazy offense will attract those old men who pay Honestly sitting in front of the TV and enjoying the damn game.

It seems that the ten big men in the middle of the field are doing their best to attack desperately. Everyone has fallen into the madness of scoring, and the scores on the field have long left no impression in their minds. , All they can do is to shoot and shoot when they get the ball, as long as they can score, these guys have already shown it off.

Such a crazy scoring show completely formed an unusually sharp contrast with the slow rhythm of the first quarter. The fans in the TD North Bank Garden Arena didn't even have time to cheer, because their shouts often hadn't made a sound yet. , those Miamis have already rewritten the score again, and their cheering sometimes seems to sound for the success of the Miamis' offense. Such embarrassing scenes have not happened once or twice, so these guys can only Choose to shut yourself up, so as not to make another own incident to cheer for your opponent.

Such a crazy scoring show will make the fans fall into crazy enjoyment, but what Rivers feels is not a happy feeling, he can only feel a kind of coldness from the bottom of his heart, and he keeps looking up at the score The score change on the card and the rapidly refreshed numbers had already made him feel a kind of panic in his heart. Until the end of the second quarter, this feeling of panic became more and more intense, 48:50, in the whole crazy second quarter. Both teams scored 30+ points in the first quarter of the game, and the score on the court was only a temporary two-point lead for the Miamis.

It seems that everything on the court is just in a stalemate state, and there is no scene where the score is quickly opened due to the accelerated pace of the game. The scoring efficiency of the two teams in offense is surprisingly high, as if They released all the offensive desire accumulated in the first quarter in this quarter, and the offensive firepower of Garnett, Pierce and others were fully utilized in this quarter.

But Rivers looked at the five big men who had played for 24 minutes in front of him, and he knew that he had once again fallen into the trap of that damn Filipino. The cunning guy figured it out. That guy's arrogant attitude in front of the media caused the whole of Boston to fall into anger. He did it on purpose. He had already grasped the psychological weakness of others.

This nasty guy has already figured out how to deal with the Big Four. That short guy never thought about fighting the Celtics. He has already put the rhythm of the game under his control from the very beginning. Among them, he had already calculated the moment he never played. He used the pressure of public opinion to force the Celtics to take the full initiative at the beginning of the game. The reason why the Big Four played at the same time, the Filipino had already thought of Rivers' tactical arrangements.

And he has already thought of a very perfect way to deal with it, that is, dragging, entanglement, the slow pace of the first quarter is the beginning of the guy forcing the Celtics to slow down his offensive pace, and he uses a half-court tight defensive policy Forcing everyone's speed to slow down, they can only rely on physical confrontation to gain offensive space. Not only is the Miami's offensive rhythm extremely slow, but their own offense is also slowed down by those people.

Entangling every possible scoring point, Miami's almost rogue defense is to make the game a muddy swamp. He wants to use this close defense to entangle the Celtics' offensive firepower, even if it is a foul or anger He doesn't care about the opponent, it doesn't matter if the game is ugly, as long as the goal is achieved, Spoelstra will not care about the boos around him and the sharp remarks of the commentators.

Even these lunatics in Miami have given up their accustomed offensive rhythm. Their intention of concentrating on beating Lin Yi to death is to hold back the Celtics' idea of ​​relying on their home court to suddenly exert their strength. These guys Throughout the first quarter of the game, they were desperately fighting their bodies, fighting internally, and vigorously pushed the rhythm of the two teams back to the five-60s positional battle.

All the arrangements in the first quarter were not an accidental phenomenon. The Miami people used such defense and offense to wear down the will of the Celtics. The ferocious guys gradually lost their ferocious appearance in the opening stage, and began to become restless and even made frequent mistakes because of the continuous fouls and shameless small moves of the Miami people.

And Spoelstra made good use of the pressure of the home atmosphere. He dragged the Celtics' offense just to make these guys irritated and let Rivers feel the dissatisfaction of the home fans. Emotional, the Filipino diverted everyone's attention to the fierce hand-to-hand combat on the court, and the opponent's coach did not dare to easily make effective adjustments to the personnel mix on the scene.

Who made you play at home, who made you win 1 consecutive victories, who made you No. 17 in the league, who made you have [-] championship titles, who made your fans clamor for Miami The Heat look good?Do you, Rivers, dare to easily replace all your main players amidst the crazy shouts of so many people? The Miami offense has been dragging down the opponent, which is the main reason why the Celtics cannot make substitutions.

In the second quarter when Rivers was about to start the rotation of players, that nasty guy threw all of his team's fierce attacking firepower onto the court, and their offensive pace began to accelerate crazily, forcing Rivers has to follow the opponent's rhythm to play, and the four giants can only follow these fierce Miami people to run back and forth frequently on the field. The Miami Heat only consider speeding up throughout the second quarter. They even It seemed a bit rough in grasping some opportunities, but the violent impact had already completely confused the game.

The entire TD North Bank Garden Arena is enjoying a big game. Wade is the leader of the Miami Heat's strong offensive horn. This guy will not go when facing the Celtics' defense. Regardless of who is guarding him, his lightning-like footsteps are like a ghost crazily poking at the defense line of the Celtics, and his sharp sprinting ability shuttles across the defense zone of Rondo and Ray Allen.

And the biggest problem for the Celtics right now is Lin Yi's erratic positioning. Although the Miami people no longer have the protection of Da Ben, a rebounding expert, under the basket, Lin Yi's touch is so hot that it makes people feel horrible. In the second quarter, all four shots were hit, and once the attack position was even a one-handed side hook against Garnett's body at a negative angle. After a defense, he grabbed the basketball and threw it to the floor. He really didn't know how else to stop that kid.

The impact of Wade and Millsap combined with Lin Yi's stable inside attack made the Miami Heat's attack very efficient, and they also had an extremely accurate calculation of the attack time. The attack time of these guys has always been Hovering within 15 seconds, they even compressed their offensive rhythm to less than [-] seconds for more than half of the time. The impact speed after each time they got the ball forced the Celtics to retreat quickly, but still There are not many ways to stop these guys from sprinting, and these Miami people don't play any offensive with you at all. Even if Lin Yi's inside offensive ability is very strong, these guys don't rely too much on Lin Yi. , They will shoot directly after passing the high screen, and it doesn't matter whether there is a big man under the basket who is already in position to grab the rebound.

Collins and Millsap's ability to control the interior rebounds makes those missed shots full of suspense, and let's not forget that almost every one of the five guys on the Miami Heat floor has His own scoring pattern, Wade's breakthrough and shooting, Lin Yi's mid-range and basket hard attack, Millsap's frequent baseline penetration, and even Arroyo's three-pointers and McDyess' baseline mid-range shots are all in line. This section of the game looks so scary, the Miami Heat where everyone can score is terrifying and frightening.

The whole team turned on the offensive mode at the same time, which almost never happened in the [-] games that Rivers got, especially when Lin Yi and Wade played together for such a long time, this is a new season for the Miami Heat. It was also the first time in the game, and the screen coordination and counter-running between these two guys were extremely smooth. Who the hell said there was a problem between these two guys!Uncle!It's all a trick played by that Filipino!He left the smoothest offensive combination to the Celtics to enjoy. He is no longer stingy in such a game, but the bad luck is those unlucky Celtics. They have once again witnessed the power of Miami's double knife. It's just that the price is a bit painful.

These guys in Miami have long been used to attacking opponents with crazy offense. What they are best at is offense, which is a life-threatening assault. When Spoelstra let these guys give it a go, these desperadoes The offensive power they burst out can shock everything, even if Ray Allen's three-point firepower has begun to exert its power, Rondo's inward cut with the ball has also begun to crazily impact the inside of the Miamis, the Celtics The Humans are still passively following the footsteps of these Miami lunatics, and the rhythm has never been in their hands.

Now the Celtics can maintain their score and the distance from their opponents. One is because Ray Allen found his offensive touch in time after losing Bowen's marking, and Rondo's Interludes also played a role. After all, Arroyo is not a defensive champion like Bell, he will always give Rondo a chance to cut inside, which is why the scores of the two teams have been locked together.

But what Rivers is most worried about now is the other points of the Celtics. Pierce doesn't feel good today, and his [-]-of-[-] shooting percentage is not a good result, but compared to Garnett and Larry. Sid's contribution, now the Celtics' outside line is obviously much better. By the end of the second quarter, the only one who has not made his own contribution is Rasheed Wallace, and Garnett is only They only scored six points in the second quarter. When facing Lin Yi and Millsap, the two of them seemed to have lost their offensive sense, especially Rasheed Wallace, who has been performing well. , His shots are always hovering near the basket but can't score, which also makes the expression of "Roaring Tianzun" very embarrassing.

Maybe Lin Yi's inside offense put too much pressure on this guy, maybe this crazy rhythm made Rashid feel cold, but now the weakness of the entire inside offense has made the Celtics feel the pressure, Especially in the situation where the opponent is scoring consecutively, this passiveness will be magnified without limit. They can't even maintain the basic defense inside, and more often they can only passively run with the opponent.

The crazy storm brings super high scores. The scoring efficiency of these Miamis is as fast as their running speed. Although the Celtics also started their own scoring mode after their opponents relaxed their defense, they all The rhythm of the game is no longer under their control. The Big Four have been trying to stabilize the situation on the court, but those Miamis who frequently reach out for steals will not give them any possibility of slowing down. The Celtics can only passively As the opponents increased their offensive speed together, the offenses of both teams appeared extremely ferocious.

But behind this ferocious attack is the support of strong physical strength. The Miami people are not afraid of this kind of consumption. Except for Lin Yi, the rest of the guys have just stood up from the bench, and they have no physical strength at all. The problem, and the four giants of the Celtics are already over 33+ old men. They had already consumed too much physical strength in the physical confrontation in the first quarter of the offensive, and now the opponent The sudden force of the team destroyed their idea of ​​​​stabilizing the situation, which made the Celtics, who were forced to speed up, overdraw their physical fitness.

Rivers' previous tactical arrangements would never allow these four giants to appear at the same time, but the noisy atmosphere before today's game made him make a wrong judgment. When he found himself falling into the opponent's trap, he did not Immediately made tactical adjustments. He wanted to see that the situation where the game quickly opened up in the first quarter did not appear. When he wanted to replace the four giants to prepare for the second half of the game, Spoelstro Leaving him no room for substitutions, such a passivity was almost doomed from the second he dispatched the Big Four at the same time.

The strong home pressure no longer allows this guy to make any adjustments. He has to keep the score on the field stalemate. The Big Four and the old guys have to grit their teeth and hold on. What I did was to let these four old guys try to bear it, but the cost of overdraft use is now obvious. The heavy breathing of the Big Four has reminded Rivers that these old guys have begun to feel tired Yes, they are almost reaching a critical point of physical fitness in such a high-tempo offensive and defensive transition.

How much can the 15-minute intermission relieve fatigue? Maybe Rivers really wants to extend the intermission now. He really needs his players to use such a short rest to recover their physical strength. , It's just that when this guy came out of the locker room and saw the five guys that the Miami Heat were going to play, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood directly from his mouth.

Because the Filipino replaced his team from the first quarter on the court again, and that damn guy still didn't let Lin take a rest, and the four guys who had been running wildly for more than ten minutes just returned to the bench Going up to rest, when he saw this scene, Rivers really had no other thoughts except that he was so internally injured that he wanted to vomit blood. He could only forcefully squeeze out a sentence from his teeth, "Man, you can't be so shameless. This level!"

But for Spoelstra, this is simply a useless rebuttal. He has long been used to being called a shameless person. In the training venue in Miami, this guy is the spokesperson of the devil. Shameless permeates from the top of the head to the gap between the toes all the time. What this fox-like guy wants is victory, and he doesn't care how ugly the scene is.

After a frenzied quarter, he brought the pace of the game back to a slow pace, and it was impossible for Rivers to consume him anymore, so the Celtics could only choose the rotation of personnel, but when Rivers put Garnett When separated from Rashid's combination, he found that no matter whether he deployed Perkins or Davis, he could only serve as a foil for Lin Yi's inside attack. Once the pressure on the inside was relieved, the Eastern boy would seize All the opportunities that can be crushed are attacked inside. Only one person's defense is not too much pressure for him, not to mention that Garnett and Rashid's physical strength has begun to enter a low ebb period, and their follow-up footsteps have also begun. Lin Yi became slower, but Lin Yi was still vigorous, his cutting speed was no different from that at the beginning of the game, and even his shooting percentage remained at a very high level, and Rivers' consecutive timeouts failed. Contain this guy's offensive footsteps, and after 8 minutes of the third quarter, the score on the field has been stretched to more than [-].

In addition to Lin Yi's high-efficiency offense playing a key role, the old Bell and Bowen once again began to block the Miami Heat's outside position. The entanglement was no longer as crazy as the desire to score in the second quarter, and the old Bell's black hands also knocked down Rondo's dribbles several times in a row. The Celtics' most reliable outside attack came to an abrupt end.

And Spoelstra's substitution completely destroyed the last point of persistence in Rivers' heart. When Wade's lightning speed appeared again, the Celtics were already there and no one could The desire to stand up and continue this fierce point battle. The score of 30:18 in a single quarter has already doomed the final outcome of this game. The Celtics entered the fourth quarter with a gap of 14 points and have begun to slowly decline. His noble head, the noisy TD North Bank Garden Arena also began to fall into silence, and what began to appear in the eyes of those Boston fans was a kind of sadness. Their invincible Celtics lost their magic power. They are about to usher in their first loss of the season.

The fourth quarter of the game has been under the control of the Miami Heat almost from the beginning. Although Rondo scored three consecutive three-pointers at 45-degree angles on both sides, Wade and Arroyo used The same way gave a strong counterattack, this quarter of the game may be the quarter with the fewest shots by Lin Yi, he didn't even play in the first 5 minutes, but the damn rebound didn't let the Celtics get it Control, Big Ben and Millsap's joint impact continued to defend the strength of the Miami people in the basket confrontation, and although Rasheed's performance improved slightly, he still lacked enough control. It is difficult to support the Celtics' defense alone.

98:81, the gap of 17 points may be a coincidence, the Miami Heat brought their No. [-] consecutive victories with a [-]-point victory, and at the same time terminated the league's continued upward climb. Maybe it was just an ordinary regular season, but these Miami lunatics played enough for everyone to start to understand that this team, which came back from the Finals last season, was stronger, maybe by the end of the season. In the playoffs, the flames ignited from Miami will really burn every inch of the league.

No team can maintain the pace of victory forever, including the once brilliant Chicago Bulls. The Celtics may have lost their self-confidence and pride. Rivers sighed on the sidelines Although the sound was slight, he seemed to have obtained a kind of spiritual release in such a sigh. The winning streak is gone, but it does not mean that after the Celtics are gone, this defeat may give They brought different experiences. Maybe the Filipino taught him one thing in such a confrontation, that is, the obsession with victory. The change of that guy who is full of cunning and unscrupulous means for victory may make Rivers start to re-understand This basketball court.

A sigh is not always a bad thing sometimes. . .Seventeen consecutive victories, the madness of the Miami people continues. . .

(Mo's fatal performance in the third quarter ended the Celtics' idea of ​​winning, maybe the person who won the championship in the end is really the little emperor, at least their performance today is good enough …)
