Chapter 96 vs. Celtics II
The first quarter ended in a blink of an eye, and the score difference was not very large. In a single quarter, the Cavaliers were two points behind the Celtics in the away game. In the first quarter, both teams started from defense, so the score was so low.
James and Huang Jun were sitting on the bench panting at this time. The high-intensity confrontation in the first quarter made their physical consumption very large. Both of them played a whole quarter in the first quarter, but even so, they were still two points behind the Celtics in the score, which made Huang Jun sigh that the Celtics had changed differently in the playoffs.
Both sides have greatly adjusted their lineup in the second quarter, and the Cavaliers' lineup took the lead in the second quarter: point guard Jason Williams, shooting guard Allen Iverson, small forward Szebiak, power forward Karlandri, and center Ilgoskas.
Celtics: point guard Eddie House, point guard Ray Allen, small forward Tony Allen, power forward Rashid Wallace, center Glenn Davis.
Both sides have sent their main shooting guard in the scoring position. This is obviously to maintain enough firepower in the next time, so that the score can be maintained in the current situation as much as possible, and not to be pulled away. This is what both sides mean at present. Everyone knows that the first half is just a warm-up, and the second half is the real official start. Therefore, the head coaches of both sides hope to open the score difference as much as possible in the first half, even if the score difference can't be opened, at least it must be maintained in a certain balance.
The Cavaliers took the lead in attacking. Jason Williams held the ball and quickly advanced to the half. Jason looks cautious in the face of Eddie House, a veteran. Although Eddie House is very old, Jason is not very powerful at present, so it is normal to be careful. Then Jason commanded the opponent's running position and kept commanding. At this moment, Jason seemed to return to the white chocolate of the past, full of confidence.
"Hey, sick man, I heard that you have been in good shape recently. I don't know if you can pass my defense? At that time, my defense was not good, but now that I am old, my defense is even worse. I don't know if you can pass me? Jason, who was dribbling, suddenly heard Eddie House's voice in his ear.
For Eddie House's words, Jason was just slightly stunned, and then said faintly, "Ha ha, are you trying to provoke me to single you? But do you think I will be fooled?" The words fell. Before the other party could react, he disappeared directly in front of Eddie House like the wind, and then appeared behind Eddie House and broke through the inside line.
"Bastard, villain's behavior." Eddie House was stunned for a while, and then he scolded directly when he understood what was going on. This Jason was so shameless that he played a sneak attack. Thinking about it, he did not stop, but followed Jason's footsteps and chased after him. He must be in front of the opponent before the opponent's layup, or a small step behind him.
Although Jason is no longer that Jason, House is also not the house at his peak. It is obviously impossible to catch up with Jason. Jason, who passed House, rushed to the inside line. At this time, Rashid Wallace appeared in front of Jason in the first place.
"Jason, get out of here. If you want to eat hot pot, you can continue." Rashid, the insider, looked at Jason, who was constantly advancing towards the insider, and roared. Although he was also not at his peak and was old, Jason in front of him who wanted to complete a layup or something through him. He would never agree. Even if his footsteps were like a snail, he could not look at the enemy. People score arbitrarily in front of themselves.
"Idiot" Jason directly ignored Rashid's words, snorted coldly, then broke through the inside line again, and then raised it high in front of Rashid. This action completely angered Rashid. With a "shouting roar", Rashid jumped high in front of Jason, and the basketball in Jason's hand was poked away, and he was bound to fan down this ignorant guy.
"You're really an idiot when you say you're an idiot." Looking at Rashid, who jumped high, Jason flashed an idea in his mind, and then hit the other party's body. Then he made a small windmill with both hands and successfully threw the basketball in his hand from the opponent's armpit in the direction of the basket. At the same time, the referee's whistle followed. It rang. After falling to the ground, Jason did not stand up at the first time, but looked at the basketball still playing on the basket, with a strong prayer in his eyes, praying that the ball must be scored.
The final result did not disappoint Jason, and the basketball hit. Jason smiled, and then provoked Rashid while standing up to the free throw line, "Say you're an idiot. You're really an idiot. You really didn't let me down." After saying that, Jason ignored Rashid's angry eyes and scolding. Then Jason, who stood on the basket, easily hit the penalty, helping the Cavaliers successfully overtake the score at the beginning of the second quarter.
Next, Eddie House accidentally dribled the ball to his feet when dribbling, and then made a mistake. Iverson directly copied the ball to his hand, and then launched a fast attack at the first time, and finally completed the fast attack with a relaxed layup. The Cavaliers are in a very good state in the second quarter, at least from the game just now.
Eddiehouse driped the ball at halftime and passed the basketball directly to Ray Allen, who was 45 degrees on the left. Ray Allen, who received the ball, was a three-pointer. Iverson felt that he rushed over. Although the speed was very fast, it was still a little worse. Ray Allen's three points equalized the score. This is Ray Allen's three-pointer, which is really a three-pointer that people love and hate.
In the same place, Iverson also scored a three-pointer. Although the three-pointer hit rate was not so high, the three-pointer hit this time. This is undoubtedly a very good signal for Iverson, that is, he is in a very good state today. Next is the shooting guards of the two sides. Ray Allen hit a goal, and Iverson will find a way to hit a goal when he comes back. In this way, five minutes have passed quickly, and the rest time for the main players has come.
Thirty-three to thirty-six. The Cavaliers beat the score by three points. In just five minutes, the Cavaliers scored 18 points under the Celtics' defense. This kind of situation is rare. Although most of the lineup just now is played by the substitute lineup, even if it is a substitute lineup, the Celtics' defense should not be so rubbish. Rivers was also very dissatisfied with the performance of the players in the second lineup, but he was dissatisfied. He didn't roar now. Instead, they instead arranged the players who were going to prepare for the next game.
During this period, the performance of Iverson and Szebiak made people have a bright feeling. In this five minutes, Iverson got seven points, and Szebiak also got seven points, and the rest of the points were taken by other players.
Looking at the players who are about to play, Brown thought for a moment and said, "James, Huang Jun, the physical fitness of both of you is very important to our team. I hope you can allocate the attack in the next time. Try not to dunk if you can't dunk. The Celtics will definitely find a way to win this game, and so will we. So the competition in this game will be very fierce, and I want you to be ready to play the second half at any time.
Originally, Brown didn't want to say these words, but when he thought about what happened in the first section, he still felt that he should say it. Let your two proud foundation be able to allocate your physical fitness well in the next time. After all, they did not allocate their physical energy well in the first quarter, so that they were out of breath after the first quarter. He doesn't want to see such a situation in the next game.
"Coach, we know, don't worry, we will definitely allocate our physical energy well in the next time. We will not let it lose the victory of this game. James said firmly, jokingly, his goal this year is to win the championship. Although it is not a big deal to lose a game, he will never allow himself to lose at home, and it is the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, which he doesn't want to see in any case.
Huang Jun didn't say anything beside him, but nodded, indicating that what he wanted to say was similar to what James wanted to say. Brown looked at the two proud disciples in front of him with a smile, and then patted them on the shoulder with relief. James and Huang Jun looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
"You can't defend me in the regular season, and you can't defend me in the playoffs." After saying that, Huang Jun passed directly from Roldo's side, and then strode to the inside line. Facing the defense of the inside players, Huang Jun came directly to the ground pass the ball. The pass came to James's hand, who had just been cut in, and James, who received the ball, took advantage of the opportunity to make a relaxed dunk. Although Brown told him not to slam dunk as much as possible, so as not to waste physical strength, it's really a pity that the ball is not slammed.
"What are you proud of? Isn't it just a simple pass? Isn't it just two points?" Rundo took the ball and looked at Huang Jun unhappyly, muttering with dissatisfaction in his heart. After a while, Rundo came to the half and passed the basketball in his hand directly. Garnett, the insider, received the pass and immediately hit Battier with his back.
There is a gap between Battier's height and Garnett's height, so Battier dares not look at anything. No one will underestimate Garnett, let alone a player like Battier?
