The half was over, and the Trail Blazers only allowed the Celtics to score 17 points in the second quarter. The score was 51:40, with the Celtics trailing by 11 points.

In the home dressing room.

"Guys, what are you doing? We only got 3 rebounds in the entire second quarter, and they were all in the backcourt, but the other team got 13. They had 10 more than us. Oh, my God,

Can anyone tell me what this is?"

Doc Rivers is no longer in the mood to give him chicken soup, and just starts spraying in the locker room.

"enough!"

Garnett's wolf roar made Rivers' heart tremble and he couldn't help but take half a step back.

"Coach, I was the one holding back the first half. In the second half, I will teach No. 36 well."

Garnett naturally knew that the coach's words were vaguely directed at him. Even though he felt extremely unhappy in his heart, he still had to accept the reality that he was beaten in the first half.

"Coach, Kevin has always been the defensive backbone of the team, we should trust him."

Rondo knew who the coach was talking about and stood up without hesitation to support Garnett.

As one of the only remaining members of the Celtics that won the 2008 championship, Rondo had a bad relationship with many players on the team in the first two years because of his youth and energy.

Especially when he had several unpleasant encounters with Garnett.

But now, after the test of time, the relationship between the two has become harmonious, and Rondo has gradually regarded Garnett as his mentor in the NBA.

After seeing Rondo stand up, Rivers smiled slightly, and his original serious expression turned into enthusiasm: "Haha, like everyone else, I always believe in Kevin's ability. He is always worthy of trust, and so do everyone.

Same, please answer me loudly, can we win this game?"

This wave...this wave is suppressing first and then rising!

It turns out that what Rivers did was to stimulate the players' fighting spirit.

"able!"

"certainly!"

"..."

These words played right into Garnett's hands, and also gave him a step to quickly respond to the coach's questions, thereby motivating his teammates around him.

…

Returning to the field, the two teams exchanged fields, and the players on the field became all main players.

"Boy, I admit that you are very strong, but your crazy performance should come to an end!"

Near the center circle, Pierce suddenly stopped and looked straight at Wang Zelin.

10 points and 13 rebounds!

In two quarters, Wang Zelin has already produced a double-double and is the best performer on the Trail Blazers side.

Pierce scored 14 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in two quarters, which was also the most impressive performance among the Celtics.

"You damn duck has a tough mouth, I'll wait for you."

Wang Zelin showed no stage fright. After retorting head-on, he walked straight to the backcourt to prepare for the Celtics' attack.

This time Garnett went to the high post to pass to Pierce, quickly followed by Pierce's pass.

Facing Wang Zelin's defense, Garnett deceived the defense with several very confusing moves and scored two points on the board.

51:42.

Why does this old man feel different?

Looking at Garnett's back as he returned to defense, Wang Zelin felt that the opponent was different from the first half.

His whole spirit and energy were like a new person.

The most important thing is that after Garnett scored, he didn't like to criticize others like he did in the first half, which made him a little uncomfortable.

The Trail Blazers attacked. After Matthews received the ball in the frontcourt, he saw that Wang Zelin was easily in position and quickly passed the ball to the inside.

"Snapped!"

Stealed.

Pierce appeared out of nowhere, stood on the passing line, waved his hands and intercepted the basketball. He quickly moved forward and made a skillful three-step layup, avoiding Batum's block.

51:44.

The words in the locker room worked. Garnett and Pierce returned to the court and showed their best, and the score was getting closer bit by bit.

Under the leadership of the two men, the strong resilience of the former championship team finally showed itself.

Back to the Trail Blazers, after several coordinated passes, the ball was in Batum's hands.

Batum caught the ball and did not rush inside. With Garnett, Wang Zelin, Aldridge and others standing inside, there was no space at all. After wandering outside the three-point line for a few seconds, he faked a move and deceived Pierce.

Throwed a three-pointer in the corner.

The basketball bounced out of the basket, and it was time to rush for the rebound.

The moment Matthews took action, Wang Zelin and Garnett in the low post on the right immediately scrambled to get into position. Garnett's turning speed and Minjie were both better than Wang Zelin's, so they got into position first, holding Wang Zelin behind him.

When the ball hit the basket, Wang Zelin took advantage of the situation, leaned forward slightly, and a huge force hit Garnett.

"Your uncle's!"

Garnett was about to take off when he was pressed down by Wang Zelin, and the energy he had just raised was instantly released.

After he quickly adjusted, Wang Zelin had already taken off and caught the basketball in mid-air.

Got the 14th rebound.

"run!!!!!"

Almost at the same time, Lillard and Batum started a fast break from the left and right wings, with Rondo and Jeff Green chasing after them desperately.

Garnett quickly found Wang Zelin, trying to interrupt Wang Zelin's passing opportunity.

But Wang Zelin didn't wait for Garnett to get close and directly threw the basketball at Lillard who was just past half-court.

"Snapped!"

Slowing down a little, Lillard successfully collected the basketball with both hands, and Rondo behind him was one point closer.

Lillard didn't care. After quickly advancing to the high post on the left, he suddenly threw the basketball on the backboard...

Then, there was only a "bang!" vibration, and Batum on the other side was already hanging on the basket.

Successful alley catch!

At 53:44, the Trail Blazers' lead expanded again.

"5 of 8 shots, 10 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. Wang's state in this game is really great!"

Kenny Smith shouted excitedly and pushed Wang Zelin's game data to the audience in real time.

"Reggie, how about we predict Wang's final numbers for this game?"

"What the hell are you trying to do again!"

The shadow of a man's famous tree, Kenny Smith's trick has tricked Barkley several times. Reggie Miller was a little panicked. He didn't want to become the next Barkley, so he decided to ask questions first before making a decision.

"Don't worry, let's compete with who can guess the closest, and the loser will be treated to a late-night snack. How about that?"

Through Reggie Miller's bad expression, Kenny Smith roughly knew the other party's inner thoughts.

I never thought that one day I would be able to scare someone like Reggie who dared to confront Michael. It was really novel.

"That's it..." Reggie Miller thought for a moment, "I bet the king can get 16, oh no, 17 points... um... and 19 rebounds!"

"Okay, then I say Wang can get 20+20!"

Kenny Smith gives his prediction.

While the two were chatting, the third quarter was almost halfway through.

It was the Celtics' turn to attack, and Pierce asked for the ball again. Although Rondo wanted to continue organizing his teammates to find opportunities, the boss had spoken and he had to pass it.

So far in the third quarter, Pierce has made 2 of 4 shots, scored 4 points and 1 steal, and his shooting percentage has reached 50%. He feels very good.

After getting the ball in the high post on the left, Pierce passed Batum, took two steps forward, met Aldridge who was covering the defense, and turned over and hit a jumper.

"Whoosh!"

With a difficult two-pointer, Truth was indeed the Celtics' best performer tonight.

62:56!

The Celtics were once again close to within five points.

Hey, why do you say again...

Soon, the pioneers told everyone the answer.

After a pick-and-roll, Trail Blazers No. 36 quickly came up from the high post and smashed Huashan!

The Celtics basket was overwhelmed and let out a miserable cry.
