Basketball League of Legends

Chapter 241 Advancement
There was a two-day break between the second and third games of the first round, and the league announced the ownership of the best head coach on the second day after the Celtics game ended, leading the team to win the second place in the Eastern Conference. Larry Bird, with good grades, eventually became the best head coach of the season.At the same time, the winner of the most improved player, Alan Henderson of the Atlanta Hawks, who replaced Christian Laettner as the starting power forward, became the most improved player of the season.

Charlotte, the largest city in North Carolina, the Celtics who came from afar met the Celtics fans who accompanied the visiting team on the road at the Charlotte Airport. There were thousands of Celtics in this game Fans bought tickets for Charlotte's away game, which is still rare in the playoffs. After all, there must be a lot of home team fans in the playoffs, which can completely fill the entire arena.

However, the Hornets have already lost two games in a row, and there is no hope of advancing. Moreover, Charlotte is originally a small ball market with few fans. Although it has the name of a noisy city, it is only a name supported by a small wave of Charlotte fans. .

The game was played in the afternoon, but the Celtics came here with the idea of ​​a vacation. For the Celtics, they were more like a formality.Although it is very arrogant to say this, the fact is that the Celtics' advantage has reached this point.

Saying goodbye to the fans who were welcomed at the airport, Jonis got on the bus, and there was still laughter and laughter on the bus, because the Celtics came to Charlotte stepping on, so after they arrived in Charlotte, they opened a media After the meet and greet, it's time to start the game.

This game is the Hornets' home game. They know that it is very difficult to make a comeback, but the Hornets still shouted the slogan of refusing to sweep.

Before the start of the game, the Hornets were very serious, as if they wanted to play hard, but the Celtics were very relaxed, and the pre-match interviews did not pay too much attention to the next game , but under the conscious or unconscious guidance of the reporters, they answered a lot of questions about the opponents in the next round.

For example, who do you think the Celtics' opponent will be in the next round? This answer is undoubtedly in everyone's mind. It is impossible for the Knicks to beat the Bulls.But if you really say the word "Bulls", it will be very bad. It will be called the Knicks underestimated. Although it has no effect on the Celtics, but in such a fierce playoff Under such circumstances, it is obviously very unwise to fall into the encirclement of media and public opinion.

In the first quarter of the game, the Hornets played more fiercely than any of the last two games. They kept running wildly on the offensive end, looking for space.On the defensive end, the Hornets' players moved a little too much, which made the Celtics a little dissatisfied at the beginning of the game, because the referee's whistle was too light, and the home whistle felt very heavy.

It seems that the referee does not want this round of the series to end.

But the Celtics really have the strength and look confident. After Jonny stumbled, hit red hands, etc., Jonny turned on the personal mode.

In the last game, Jonny saw that the team had a big lead, so he chose to rest. As a result, in the last game, Jonny "only" scored 39 points and did not score 40+ points.In this game, the small actions of the Hornets really annoyed Jonny.

In the first quarter, Johnny, who started his personal mode, scored 17 points in the second half of the first quarter. In addition to the 6 points in the first half, in the entire first quarter, Johnny scored 23 points and exploded!

Although the Hornets played fiercely, it is inevitable to fall behind by a big score.

The referee who was still "playing hard" saw that the Hornet was dying and hopeless, so he slowly played tighter. After all, the Hornet was doomed to be out.Considering the next round of the series, the league is unwilling to have any surprises for the Celtics in this game.

Before the start of the second quarter, Rick Pitino looked at Johnny's swollen hands and smiled.

Johnny was also very helpless. In the first quarter, as long as the opponent had a chance to foul him, he would mercilessly hit his hand. This caused Johnny's entire hand to become red and swollen. He even missed 3 free throws, which is unforgivable in the usual way.

Rick Pitino asked Jonny to rest for a while, and then continued to play in the second half of the second quarter. After Jonny played, he continued to exert force. The Celtics led the Hornets by 27 points at halftime.

At this time, most of the fans at home in Charlotte had left, leaving only thousands of Celtics fans and thousands of Hornets fans, as well as some Asian fans and neutral fans still watching the game.With the presence of thousands of Celtics fans and nearly a thousand Asian fans, Charlotte's home court has a tendency to become the Celtics' home court.

As soon as the Celtics scored a goal, there would be cheers from the sidelines, and the boos of the local fans in Charlotte, that is, the Hornets fans, were covered up.

The Celtics spent 3 quarters, so the Hornets had to disarm and surrender.In fact, this is the last game of the Hornets. Originally, they would not choose to surrender.But after three quarters, the Celtics led by 35 points. The huge point difference made the Hornets have no reason to fight even if they wanted to fight.

The final result of the game was that the Celtics won the game again with a huge difference of 27 points. In 1998, the playoffs had not yet been reformed. The first round of the playoffs was still a best-of-five game, and only in the second round would it become a best-of-seven game.Therefore, after winning three games, the Celtics have advanced to the next round.

The Pacers, who played on the same day as the Celtics, lost to the Cavaliers after accepting the best head coach trophy away.In the West, the Jazz won the Rockets again, won three consecutive victories, slapped the media in the face, and directly entered the next round.

As for the Lakers, they were pulled back by the Trail Blazers, and they will continue to play away games to determine the victory.

On the second day, Jonny also paid attention to the four-group matchup between the Bulls and the Knicks, the Heat and the Eagles, the Sonics and the Timberwolves, and the Spurs and the Suns. Round, will face the Celtics ahead of time.The Heat finally regained a victory in the away game, trailing behind with a total score of 1:2.In the west, the Sonics beat the Timberwolves away, leading 2:1, and the Spurs also defeated the Suns, leading 2:1.

From this game on, things seem to be back to normal.

And the teams that have already decided the victory have already begun to prepare for the next round.Especially the Celtics and Bulls, they have started tactical drills for their respective teams.
