…………
In a blink of an eye, the third game between the Hawks and the Celtics is about to start.
Today, Atlanta people rushed to Boston early to steal a victory at the North Shore Garden Arena.
Since Wu Feng was just elected the most valuable player of the season, it is not only him, but also the Hawks, who are full of fighting spirit and are ready to challenge the Celtics.
When both team players appeared on the court, Rajon Rondo walked towards Wu Feng, touched his shoulders, and said sincerely: "Congratulations, Wu, congratulations on being elected the Most Valuable Player."
"Thank you." Wu Feng said with a smile.
Then, several Celtics players who were familiar with Wu Feng all expressed their congratulations to Wu Feng, especially Wu Feng's teammates Brandon Buss and Michael Pitrus.
When the game was about to begin, both teams were ready, and Garnett and Al Horford came to the center circle and prepared to jump the ball.
In this game, the Celtics sent out a lineup: center Blanton Bass, power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Paul Pierce, shooting guard Ray Allen, and organizational defender Rajon Rondo.
Hawks lineup: center Al Horford, power forward Josh Smith, small forward Marvin Williams, shooting guard Cork Hinrich, and organizational defender Wu Feng.
The two teams began to jump the ball, and Al Horford held up Brandon Bass and racked the ball into Marvin Williams's hands. Marvin Williams drove it twice, avoided Paul Pierce's sneak attack and passed the ball to Wu Feng.
Although Wu Feng and Rajon Rondo have fought many times, he is still cautious today when facing the Celtics' point guard.
Wu Feng first made a tentative breakthrough, but Rajon Rondo did not reveal any flaws. Wu Feng suddenly accelerated suddenly, and then quickly made a disguised appearance, faked the ball and passed it to Cork Hinrich, who was wandering to the high position.
After receiving the ball, Kevin Garnett first shook Ray Allen a few times, then made a jump shot, but failed to hit, and Kevin Garnett grabbed the defensive rebound.
Rajon Rondo controls the ball, and his speed is extremely fast. Wu Feng did not keep up for a while, so the opponent made a breakthrough easily. Then, using the cover of his teammates, he rushed directly to the Hawks' basket and made a light layup, which first scored two points for the Celtics.
Wu Feng looked at Rajon Rondo withdrew from defense, and his eyes became more serious.
Wu Feng took the baseline serve from Josh Smith and slowly advanced to the frontcourt.
He knew this game must be very difficult because there was Rajon Rondo in the Celtics. But he would never give up on it and would never give up on this game.
Wu Feng dribbled the ball through halftime and organized the attack at the top of the arc. He kept waving his right hand to direct his teammates to take the place.
Al Horford reached out to ask for the ball, and the ball was passed to his hand, facing inside player Brandon Bass.
The Celtics did a great job in the regular season defense and ranked in the top five in the entire league. And not only did they do well in defense, but also had excellent offense.
In the entire league, the Celtics are a team that ranks in the top and has both offense and defense.
Al Horford and Brandon Bass started a hand-to-hand fight directly. Brandon Bass suffered a bit in height, and was pushed away by Horford, and then made a layup and scored the ball.
Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball through the half, handed the ball to Kevin Garnett at the top of the arc, and then started running. Kevin Garnett received the ball at the left end of the free throw line and it was a jump shot, and the ball entered the net.
Wu Feng, who had just won the title of Most Valuable Player, played very excitedly today. He was controlling the ball at the top of the arc and suddenly made a secret gesture to Al Horford, then threw the ball into the sky above the basket, assisting Al Horford to an air relay.
Al Horford scored 4 points in a row and shouted excitedly.
Under such circumstances, the fans of North Shore Garden Arena stopped doing it. For a moment, the fans at the scene booed wildly, and the booed loudly.
Perhaps influenced by home fans, Rajon Rondo stood up at this time. He continued to attack the Hawks' basket, either directly scored points, or scored free throws with fouls.
Under the leadership of Rajon Rondo, the Celtics scored a 9:4 climax.
The Hawks suddenly lost the offensive rhythm, and the inside line with great advantages could not be opened.
Larry Drew had no choice but to ask for a timeout, wanting to use this timeout to make the Celtics feel a little colder.
After the timeout, the Celtics' feel is indeed not as hot as before.
But in the next time, the Hawks' offense was not very good either.
Wu Feng took the pass from the top of the arc and broke through with the ball. He made a quick stop jump shot and threw the ball into the basket.
At this time, the team needs a player to stand up and lead the team, and Wu Feng will naturally be very happy at this moment.
Rajon Rondo received a breakthrough pass from Paul Pierce at the baseline and jumped up. When Wu Feng rushed to block the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Kevin Garnett behind Wu Feng. The latter caught the ball and made a jump shot and hit 2 points.
Wu Feng used Marvin Williams' support to attack outside the three-point line. With a "swish", Wu Feng scored another 3 points.
The Celtics' offense was fruitless. After Wu Feng grabbed the defensive rebound, he launched a fast break. However, the Celtics' offense and defense conversion was also very fast, effectively preventing the Hawks' fast break.
After Marvin Williams missed a high jump shot, Kevin Garnett once again grabbed the defensive rebound.
The two sides attacked each other in this way, and the Eagles never caught up with the score. They were always about 4 to 5 points behind.
Until the end of the first quarter, the Hawks were still 4 points behind the Celtics at 21:25. The Hawks only scored 21 points in the first quarter, which is enough to show how successful the Celtics' defense is today.
In the first quarter, Rajon Rondo scored 8 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. It was precisely because of his outstanding performance that the Celtics were able to lead the Hawks by 4 points 25:21.
Wu Feng, who had his first encounter with Rajon Rondo, performed quite well, making three of five shots, including a three-pointer, scoring 7 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.
However, he was also made two mistakes by Rajon Rondo. From this we can see how powerful Rajon Rondo is, he has the ability to compete for the top point guard in the league.
The North Shore Garden Arena is neatly thrust into the mountains and seas calling out Rajon Rondo's name, and behind his name is the call of "mvp".
The second quarter game began soon, and the lineups of both sides made adjustments again at this time.
Celtics:
Averly Bradley, Kenyon Duling, Michael Pittrus, Brandon Bass, and Ryan Hollins.
Eagles:
Jeff Teague, Wu Feng, McGrady, Radmanovich, Josh Smith.
Avery Bradley was very fast and quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt. Although he was facing the most valuable player of the season, this guy seemed to be unafraid.
Celtics substitute center Ryan Hollins received a pass from Avery Bradley at the basket, and relied on Josh Smith to get a low post, then turned around and hooked the ball to shoot.
The basketball turned and turned around the ring, but still failed to enter. Wu Feng grabbed a defensive rebound from the right wing baseline.
After half of the game, Wu Feng controlled the ball and faced Kenyon Dulin's defense, he shook several times in a row, then put his left foot on the ground and crossover. The first step passed Kenyon Dulin's half of his position, and then accelerated again in the second step, and had already thrown away his two positions.
Wu Feng entered the free throw line and jumped to shoot, leaving only Brandon Bass in front of him.
Facing his former teammate, a smile appeared on Wu Feng's lips.
But Brandon Bass did not dare to be careless at all. He had been teammates with Wu Feng for a year. He knew very well how terrifying this kid was.
Brandon Bass looked at Wu Feng's shooting and quickly wanted to jump on and block. But just as he rushed, Wu Feng's body suddenly twisted, and then passed the ball from behind Brandon Bass.
"Bang"
A huge sound rang at the North Shore Garden Arena, and Josh Smith grabbed the ring with both hands and then fell down.
Wu Feng and Josh Smith hit three palms in a combo. Then they quickly retreated to defend.
On the Hawks bench, the players all stood up and applauded Wu Feng and Josh Smith's cooperation.
Brandon Bass was very depressed. He knew that guy very well, but he still let him send a wonderful pass under his nose.
Offensive and defensive conversion.
Kenyon Dulin dribbled the ball and pushed forward, then handed it to Michael Pitrus, who dribbled and broke through, and then stopped and jumped.
As a result, Josh Smith gave the ball tightly.
Wu Feng grabbed the defensive rebound and drove the ball towards the Celtics halftime.
Wu Feng quickly reached the Celtics' basket, and at this time the Celtics' basket was empty.
It soared into the sky. A 360-degree turn, and the windmill dunked.
"Bang"
Many people were stunned at the scene, including some Boston fans.
They were all amazed at Wu Feng's outstanding physical fitness and the aura that was exuding from Wu Feng's body.
Larry Drew, who was sitting in the coaching seat, stood up excitedly after seeing Wu Feng's dunk.
And with this shocking dunk, the morale of the Hawks also increased.
