The strong performance of the Nets forced Rivers to make a series of adjustments.
Delonte West replaced Payton.
Payton felt that this team was hopeless. He felt that from the bottom of his heart.
Ricky Davis replaced Antoine Walker.
Tony Allen replaced the old center LaFrentz.
He planned to use the tactic of Al Jefferson leading four small players.
The game resumed with the referee's whistle. Looking at the Celtics' lineup,
Delonte West, Tony Allen, Pierce, Ricky Davis, Al Jefferson
Roy was surprised at Doc Rivers's courage, but to be honest, in Roy's opinion, it was just a change from one pit to another.
This lineup will be very strong in three years. At present, they are all rookies.
He didn't know where Rivers got the courage to use three rookies and an unreliable tenderloin. Pierce is not Magic Johnson. Even Magic Johnson can't lead this lineup.
Kidd took the ball and looked at the opposing team with a smile on his face.
He signaled Roy to do a pick-and-roll with him.
After the pick-and-roll, Deronti West stood in front of Roy.
Not only did the home fans want to complain, but even West, who was switching defense, wanted to curse.
Roy looked relaxed and happy. He dribbled the ball and swaggered directly in front of Deronti West.
What is helplessness, what is powerlessness, what is speechless?
Does West have any other solution?
Yes, that is to pray.
Is it useful? No!
Roy, who was in hot form, hit another long-range shot at the top of the arc.
The score difference came to 3 points.
The whole team, including the audience, looked at Doug Rivers as if he was a fool.
Rivers's dark face turned purple at this moment.
But he didn't want to admit defeat and had to explain his mistake.
"Delonte, don't switch defense in the next round!"
Gary Payton, who was sitting on the sidelines, felt that the statement "The head coach is like a fool" misunderstood him.
This is a fool!
Go! Must go this summer, fight to the death and leave after the game!
I don't want to stay here for a minute!
If he stays any longer, he is afraid that he will become a fool too.
Delonte West glanced at the coach. Although it was outrageous, he did not refute his words.
After all, it was Rivers' decision that gave him the opportunity to play in such an important playoff stage.
Not only can I not blame the coach, I will also work hard to win face for the coach who chose me!
West passed the ball to the big brother Pierce after half court. His mission as a pseudo point guard was to dribble the ball across half court.
Pierce dribbled the ball and observed the Nets' defensive arrangement.
There was only one advantage of having rookies on the court, which was being active.
Several people began to run without hesitation.
Gradually, the Nets' formation was dispersed. Pierce chose to break through directly.
McInnis, who was defending him, followed closely.
Delonte West saw that Pierce didn't have too good a chance.
He ran back hard and broke free from Kidd's supervision.
"Under the basket!"
Delonte West stretched out his hand to indicate that he had run out of the open space.
The biggest difference between Pierce and "Fat Monk" Walker was that Pierce would trust his teammates.
West received Pierce's pass at the first time under the basket.
No one was defending, and it was an easy layup!
West took the ball and jumped up for a layup.
There was indeed no one in the restricted area, but West underestimated the wingspan of the two Nets' inside players.
Chandler, who was defending not far away, used his long arms to interfere with West's layup in the air.
West dodged in the air for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, and shot the ball without any danger.
Behind the backboard, before West could see the action clearly, a big yellow hand blocked the basketball on his layup.
"Bang"
Another volleyball slam dunk block. The two Nets' twin towers had a clear division of labor, one to interfere and the other to blow the ball away.
This is the New Jersey no-fly zone under the basket!
Delonte West's face flushed. The block not only blew away his shot, but also made him fall to the ground due to the huge impact.
The Nets' basket is really not a place for people to stay. He now feels a little sympathetic to Al Jefferson.
In the Celtics' rest area, Payton showed a look of "as expected".
Although the Nets' twin towers are not as good as the Rockets' twin towers in ancient times, nor as good as the Spurs' twin towers in previous years,
these two are both around 20 years old, and they are not lacking in jumping ability and explosive power.
The inside line formed by the two has become a terrifying inside line combination in the NBA.
Standing on the sidelines, Celtics coach Rivers looked gloomy.
He now doubts whether he has really done something wrong, or whether the Nets are too strong.
The ball is still in the Celtics' hands, There are still 5 seconds left for the sideline ball attack, Tony Allen is in charge of serving at the sideline,
Tyson Chandler standing in front of him blocked his view tightly,
The time for serving was about to pass due to interference,
Tony Allen had limited experience and could only choose to take the risk of passing to Ricky Davis near the midfield,
The serving showed that the rookie was inexperienced. Normally, if he couldn't serve, he should let the team's center Al Jefferson come out to receive the ball,
It's a pity that Al Jefferson himself is also a rookie. He stood stupidly near the penalty area waiting for the cake,
Tony Allen passed the ball to Ricky Davis from a long distance,
The basketball was exposed above the court,
It was still a horizontal pass, and Roy cleverly intercepted the flying basketball halfway,
McInnis made a fast break, he had predicted Roy's prediction and started directly,
For the matter that Roy didn't steal the ball,
McInnis's little head never had to think,
Asking is believing, asking is tacit understanding, no explanation is needed
Roy lived up to expectations and intercepted the basketball halfway, then made a long-distance ground pass.
Before all the Celtics came to their senses,
McInnis had already received the ball within the Celtics' half-court three-point line.
No fancy moves, just a steady one-handed dunk!
The difference with the Celtics was only 1 point.
"Beep"
The whistle sounded, and the third quarter ended. The Nets had managed to catch up with the 12-point difference.
Doug Rivers had more and more wrinkles on his face.
The gap in strength made his adjustments powerless.
The Celtics had no players who could match up with Roy.
Roy became the Celtics' biggest nightmare in this round of games.
44 points, in just three quarters, Roy's score shocked the Celtics.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will only be a matter of time before he gets 50 points
The last scorer who scored 50+ points against the Celtics in the playoffs was only one,
that was Michael Jordan, who performed like a god in the 85-86 season.
That night he scored 63 points and defeated Larry Bird. He called that night: God wore the No. 23 jersey.
That was also the origin of Jordan's nickname "Black Jesus".
There was still a whole quarter left. Looking at the technical statistics on the field, everyone knew that a new record would be born tonight!
