Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Chapter 349: Two to two

The third game of the series is at home in Boston.

The Trail Blazers are determined to regain the lead in this game.

On the Celtics side, they want to continue to give the Trail Blazers a bit of color in the first game back home!

This is destined to be a more popular game than the previous two games.

Of course, this is also normal. As the series progresses, it is conceivable that the intensity of the competition will become greater and greater!

It’s just that no one thought that Kwame Brown and Pierce just hugged and fell together when they were fighting for rebounds at the basket just 32 seconds into the game.

This made Drexler couldn't help but mutter: "Oh, this smell of gunpowder!"

Even in the 90s, there were rarely such a dynamic competition.

Because both of them had pushes, the referee let them each get a technical foul.

There was a huge boo at this time. Obviously, in the eyes of these Celtics fans, Paul Pierce should not be given this foul!

Of course, soon something happened on the court that made them feel happy. Lagabere stared at Ray Allen's off-ball running and fouled twice in a row, which allowed him to be replaced in just over 2 minutes.

His quick departure caused Vince Carter to play the second position and was also responsible for guarding Ray Allen, which put the Trail Blazers into a huge passive on both ends of the offense and defense.

Fortunately, Chris Paul performed well in this game. In addition, Yao Ming's mid-distance feel was also very fast. Their smooth start also allowed the Trail Blazers to start 10-4.

But in the following time, Shaq O'Neal and Pierce stepped up under Rondo's command and gradually narrowed the difference.

Especially in the middle of the first quarter Pierce made Vince Carter's foul hand continuously, which led the Celtics to chase the score to 18. Referee whistle continues to become a phenomenon in the first quarter.

This forced Cheeks to call a timeout.

If you look at the number of referees blowing whistle alone, there are 9 fouls on both sides in a single quarter!

It can be said to be unbiased, but the Trail Blazers have two fouls at the second and third positions, making it really difficult for the Trail Blazers to play the next game, especially on the defensive end, and I am a little afraid to move. .

This also allowed the Celtics to pass the points smoothly at the end of the first quarter.

However, the biggest impact is on the rhythm. The Trail Blazers took a big lead in the first half in the first two games, but in this game, the Celtics got the initiative first.

In the end, the Celtics, which became more and more tenacious, successfully won the third game of the series after returning to their home court.

The big score came to 2-1!

And this time the leading team became the Celtics.

In the next game when the Celtics are still at home, this makes the Boston media extremely happy. In their opinion, Boston is very likely to knock the Blazers out of their home court!

"Now, they should know how difficult it is for a dynasty to rise!"

This is a news headline that the Boston media has already thought of. It just waited for the Celtics to officially eliminate the Trail Blazers and then reported it.

They believe that this will not be far away!

The Trail Blazers fell into a greater passivity.

Before the start of the fourth game of the series, Yao Ming specially surrounded the Trail Blazers in the locker room: "Guys, I believe in everyone's abilities. I also believe that we can definitely tie the big score and win the battle of Tianwangshan. , Listen, now it looks like we are at a great disadvantage and we need to regain two home courts, but this is not a big deal, listen, the era of the Trail Blazers has arrived, and this is something that no one can stop!"

"Now all we have to do is to win!"

Yao Ming also directly changed his style of play in this game.

The first came up with various personal offenses with the ball.

Boston did not choose to double-team him at the beginning. Double-teaming meant that they had to give up a match-up defense, but Yao Ming scored 10 consecutive points in less than 4 minutes, which shows them. A little flustered.

Had to double-team.

In addition, Yao Ming used long-range shots in this game, which made the double-teaming at No. 4 hard to work, and it must be a double-teaming from outside.

Only in this way, the Blazers' outside line may have room for shots.

The "Swish Swish" three-pointer, the Blazers opened the point gap further expanded!

At the end of the first quarter, Yao scored 15 points and 4 assists in the roster, and the Blazers led by 9 points 31-22.

Yao Ming is quite satisfied with this lead.

But the next second quarter he has to take a break.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to exert such force in the second half.

"give it to me!"

Vince Carter patted Yao Ming on the chest before going on the court in the second quarter.

"UFO" naturally did what it said, and played very well as soon as the second quarter came up.

It's just that the Celtics' resilience is also shown at this time.

The point difference has been around 9 points.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is because Vince Carter does not have the offensive threat of Yao Ming. Yao Ming’s offensive threat is even so great that it can directly affect the opponent’s defensive formation, forcing them to change their formation, and it is a huge change. .

Vince Carter can't do this.

But it's enough, and a 9-point lead is also a lead.

Yao Ming broke out in the third quarter and waited for the fourth quarter to grit his teeth and defend!

But what I didn't expect was that the Celtics suddenly played two misplaced offenses. Although the first goal was not scored, the second goal allowed Perkins under the basket to catch Chris Paul and successfully scored a three-pointer!

This allowed the Celtics to reduce the point difference to 6 all at once!

Paul touched his head back to the defense, and Perkins just gave him that, and he was a little dazed by it.

Cheeks said to him: "You are fine, so what are you running to the basket! Is that the place you can go?"

Fortunately, Chris Paul then responded with a three-pointer with a retreat step.

It was just that after taking over, he unfortunately became a victim of misplacement. He competed with Perkins for rebounds under the basket, and then jumped the ball. This made him angry, and he really wanted to punch Rajon Rondo with two punches!

Rajon Rondo:? ? ?

It's my shit!

It's not like me!

Do you want to try Rondo Punch?

Chris Paul: I just see your poker face upset, I'm going to beat you! how!

With misplaced offensive tricks, the Celtics once narrowed the gap to less than 5 points.

Cheeks was anxiously scratching his hair next to him. He had no idea that one day, he would be cured by the wrong position. It was obviously his move!

Fortunately, the stronger Chris Paul then found an opportunity to find Perkins on the outside and also played one, which is regarded as returning the latter's bullying to him.

The point difference was opened to 6 points later.

Next, Pierce also missed a free throw, allowing the point difference to be close to double digits.

But at this moment, Chris Webber, who had always been mediocre in front of him, suddenly stood up and took a mid-range shot to help the team reduce the point difference to 8 points. This was the first time he played half of the second quarter. He made a shot, but it solved the Celtics' urgent need. There was also a huge cheer at the scene.

The cheers were quite useful for Chris Weber. No, not long afterwards, he made another shot.

The point difference wandered back to 7 points.

Paul Pierce punched Chris Webb in the defense, and the latter really helped him a lot!

Otherwise, he had just missed a free throw, but he would have become a guilty man.

But when the Celtics breathed a sigh of relief, there has been no movement. Yao Ming, who seemed to have stopped playing in the first half, suddenly made an effort, rushed into the basket with shots and scored 5 points.

After that, Vince Carter made a three-pointer, and after he made a three-pointer, Chris Paul succeeded in stealing, and the main attacker Kwame Brown completed dunks.

The Trail Blazers had a 11-5 scoring wave during this time.

The point difference came to about 15 points all at once.

But Rondo hit a difficult three-pointer at this time.

The point difference is back to 12 points.

This made Yao Ming feel painful, just like you throwing a shot put, you actually hit such a difficult goal, really beating the dog.

Rajon Rondo's tactics backward: What is the son of the Chosen!

The two sides changed places to fight again, and the Trail Blazers still maintained a score advantage, so Yao Ming was not anxious to take over offensively, but with such a big support, the Celtics were a little anxious.

Anxious to get back the offensive initiative, they were obviously a bit more impatient on both ends of the offense and defense in the third quarter.

This is very different from the past.

The main reason is actually very simple, because the pressure given by Yao Ming in this game is too great. Seeing that he still has physical fitness, they are eager to let Yao Ming come forward and consume their physical fitness.

Yao Ming has more opportunities to catch the ball.

After a few times the effect of coping was not very satisfactory, he quickly made a choice...Since the other party wanted him to take action so much, he didn't have much hesitation.

After taking over, he strengthened his personal proactive offense.

But one thing is that once the opponent wants to limit him by double-teaming, he will immediately take the pass.

Such true and false individual singles allowed the Trail Blazers to give the Boston Celtics a 13-2 offensive frenzy in the middle of the game, leading by 20 points 84-64 at the end of the third quarter.

The boos at the scene also disappeared completely in these 20 points.

However, the Celtics players on the field did not give up the idea. Even though they have fallen behind so many points, in their opinion, they still have the possibility of winning this game!

As long as you persist, there is hope!

This is the "Green Army Spirit"!

After a short break, the game time of the fourth quarter officially arrived. The main Celtics players were all taken to the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

In doing so, obviously they want to tell the winner at the beginning of the fourth quarter!

Of course, this is also normal.

20 points behind, if there is still time to replace the bench as usual, then don't think about chasing points, just raise the white flag and surrender.

After all, no matter what, you can't catch up to the Trailblazers' lead by 20 points in about 8 minutes.

No one can do this.

Including the Celtics, who are now leading 2-1!

Now they can only give it a go. If they can't catch up with the score in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, then there is no need to wait!

Paul Pierce came up and played fiercely. He was looking for a confrontation under the basket and looking for a chance to make a foul.

Kwame Brown was accidentally fooled by his consecutive breakthroughs.

But after he discovered that the opponent still had the idea of ​​continuing to shoot after the referee blew the whistle, he overturned the latter's hand with a slap.

This action immediately caused Pierce's dissatisfaction.

The two pushed together again.

Then they each received a technical foul.

It’s a pity that Paul Pierce’s Kwame Brown mentality is useless. The Trail Blazers’ “MVP” combination is still scoring steadily. This allows the Trail Blazers to lead by 20 points after two minutes in the fourth quarter.

Kwame Brown also took the time to make a grimace at Paul Pierce.

On the contrary, Paul Pierce was so angry that he had to do it himself when he got the ball. As a result, he almost made a mistake and passed the ball in embarrassment.

Kwame Brown couldn't help laughing again.

The laughter directly broke Paul Pierce's defense.

This allowed him to receive his second technical foul in this game.

In the audience booed to the referee, Paul Pierce was sent off.

Kwame Brown watched Paul Pierce's departure, and said in his heart: Is this what it feels like to be a man?

This is too cool, right?

Ray Allon tried to retaliate with 3 points in the bottom corner, trying to get the Celtics' offensive rhythm back, but unfortunately he missed the shot, but the Blazers completed another fast attack counterattack!

After this fast-breaking counterattack ~lightnovelpub.net~ the Trail Blazers opened the point difference to more than 25 points!

In other words, in the last quarter, the Celtics wanted to try to chase points to see if they could catch a breath, but the result was that the Trail Blazers widened the point difference.

Coupled with the departure of Paul Pierce, this makes the Celtics lose another very important component on the offensive end.

There was no way, the Celtics had to surrender with a white flag and gave up the game.

In the end, at home to the Celtics, the Blazers beat the Celtics 109-83, 26 points, and the big score on both sides returned to a 2-2 tie.

Yao Ming scored 43 points in this game alone. With his performance, the Trail Blazers got a good lead from the very beginning today.

It's just that the big score is tied, but for the Trailblazers, the difficulties are still going on. After the 2-2 tie, it is the battle of Tianwangshan. We will play the fifth game of the series at the Celtics' home court...

This made Yao Ming once again complained about the NBA Finals format, which is really cheating!

How can a team with a good record have home court advantage!

This is clearly a home court advantage for teams with worse records!

Fortunately, they won the fourth game of the series, and the Celtics will still be under pressure.

Because once they lose the fifth game, they will have to face two Portland home games next! The pressure of the fifth game will actually be great!
