Larry Drew, who was standing on the sidelines, saw Rajon Rondo hit another three-pointer, quickly called for a timeout.

During the period when Rajon Rondo returned to the court, the Celtics scored a 7:2 climax. Although the Hawks were only 5 points behind the Celtics, the Hawks were gradually at a disadvantage.

The Celtics, led by Rajon Rondo, have already made their momentum come out.

When Rajon Rondo first entered the league, three-pointers were not good. But this season, his three-pointers ability has improved significantly.

The three-pointer just now faced Wu Feng's defense and hit a steadily, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

After this timeout, Larry Drew replaced Cork Hinrich and Marvin Williams, and Kevin Garnett also came on the Celtics.

Wu Feng would not be scared by Rajon Rondo's performance. He caught the ball in one step inside the three-point line and aimed at the basket, which made an unreasonable jump shot. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and flew into the box.

Wu Feng was completely in dispute with Rajon Rondo, and the two of them were slamming back and forth.

Rajon Rondo organized the Celtics' offense, broke through the baseline, and passed the ball behind him to Ray Allen at the top of the arc, who scored a three-pointer with a hand.

With a "swish", the ball entered again.

The Hawks offense.

Marvin Williams received a wonderful pass from Wu Feng, and the bottom corner was also a beautiful three-pointer.

During this period, the hit rates of both sides were quite high.

Rajon Rondo tangently from the middle to the basket, received Ryan Hollins' pass and made a layup directly, but was disturbed by Wu Feng who followed and failed to make a layup.

Al Horford steadily protected the rebound and threw it to Wu Feng.

After halfway through the dribble, Wu Feng used Josh Smith's cover to penetrate the Celtics' basket, attracting another defensive player to make up for defense.

The result was predictable. Wu Feng directly passed the ball to Josh Smith, who was free of charge. After receiving the ball, he took a big step and then dunked.

Doug Rivers shook his head in disappointment as the Hawks completed another attack.

In the second quarter, the Celtics' defensive intensity dropped a lot.

So Doug Rivers also requested a timeout and prepared to arrange a defense, especially for Wu Feng's defense.

But what Doug Rivers didn't expect was that after making arrangements for Wu Feng's defense, the Hawks replaced Wu Feng and Jeff Teague came up.

It's normal to think about it. Since the beginning of the game, Wu Feng has only rested for a while at the end of the first quarter.

So for the next game, Larry Drew decided to give Wu Feng a rest.

For the Celtics, captain Paul Pierce replaced Michael Pierres.

Perhaps Doug Rivers' re-arrangement was effective, and the Celtics indeed strengthened the defense in the next game, which made the Hawks' offense seem a bit unstructured.

Rajon Rondo easily led the ball over half. A pass from the ground, and the ball quickly bounced into Kevin Garnett's hand, who turned around and made a jump shot.

Marvin Williams' three-point shot missed, and Al Horford grabbed the offensive rebound and handed it over to Cork Hinrich.

Cork Hinrich singled Paul Pierce, and made a jump shot from the back, but he didn't make a hit. Brandon Bass quickly stuffed it into Rajon Rondo's hands after taking the defensive rebound.

Rajon Rondo hit a three-pointer again without anyone to guard it, while Cork Hinrich only took six seconds to retaliate. He broke through to the outside of the Celtics' three-point line. He directly scored a three-pointer and also hit it.

But in the following time, Rajon Rondo launched a fierce counterattack.

After halftime, Rajon Rondo threw the ball high, and Paul Pierce jumped high from the wing to the basket and dunked with both hands.

After only one and a half minutes of the timeout, Rajon Rondo scored 3 points and 2 assists. His performance was too exciting, which made all the fans scream.

With four minutes left in the first half, Wu Feng made a comeback, but in the duel with Rajon Rondo, Wu Feng did not take advantage.

Wu Feng quickly led the ball through half and watched Al Horford keep getting stuck in the inside to ask for the ball. He quickly handed the ball to Al Horford.

The ball was very clever, just as Al Horford turned around and carried it hard, and his shoulders suddenly exerted force, squeezed Kevin Garnett out, winning a little jump space at the basket.

Al Horford roared at the basket like a ferocious beast, and his huge body soared into the air. Brandon Bus, who was resting on defense, could not stop him at all. Instead, the referee blew a defensive foul.

Al Horford made the first free throw, but bounced out of the basket in the second free throw.

However, the Celtics made a mistake and failed to protect the backcourt rebound. The rebound was snatched by the "spring man" Josh Smith, and then passed the ball to Wu Feng on the outside.

After Wu Feng received the ball, he stabilized his rhythm a little, and then he accelerated his pace, intending to break through Rajon Rondo.

But Rajon Rondo's hand was too fast, and Wu Feng's ball was cut off by him.

"Swish", Rajon Rondo made a breakthrough layup and completed a quick counterattack.

Wu Feng shook his head in disappointment. Rajon Rondo did a great job in defense today. He had made three mistakes under his defense, and had a cap from the opponent before.

"No, I can't make this guy arrogant anymore." Wu Feng couldn't help but be warlike.

Doug Rivers is very satisfied with the current situation of the Celtics. He was originally impatient on the sidelines, but now he is sitting in the coach's seat.

Hawks head coach Larry Drew is in a bad mood now because the team's performance is a bit bad.

The Celtics' output from the outside is very fierce. The Celtics' outside line led by Rajon Rondo has brought great impact to the Hawks.

Larry Drew quickly called a timeout and prepared to arrange the defense in the last two minutes of the first half to find the right opportunity to narrow the gap to single digits.

Now, the Hawks are 11 points behind the Celtics, which is a very big test for the Hawks. If they cannot narrow the gap to single digits before the end of the first half, it will be difficult to play in the second half.

Larry Drew also knew that the intensity of the playoffs was much greater than that of the regular season, so the players' physical strength was greatly affected.

The tactics that Larry Drew arranged in the last moment of the first half were quite good.

The Celtics' outside firepower was not only extinguished by the Hawks, but Garnett, who was inside, did not do much.

The Hawks seized the opportunity and made consecutive shots under the leadership of Wu Feng and Josh Smith.

When the first half ended, the scores of the two teams were frozen at 46:52.

The Hawks made a very efficient attack in the last two minutes of the first half, successfully narrowing the gap to 6 points.

As Rajon Rondo walked towards the player channel, most of the fans at North Shore Garden Arena were calling his name.

This is understandable. As the player with the best performance in the first half, Rajon Rondo should be supported by home fans.

In the first half, Rajon Rondo played nearly 19 minutes in total, and only had about five minutes of rest.

In these nineteen minutes, Rajon Rondo made seven of thirteen shots, two of 4 shots from three-pointers, and scored three free throws, and scored 19 points one person frantically, and was also the player with the most points in the first half.

Such scoring data surprised many people.

After all, Rajon Rondo is not a scoring guard. Although he has a sharp breakthrough and often scores layups at the basket, his scores on weekdays basically remain between 15 and 25 points, and occasionally scores more than 30 points.

And today, Rajon Rondo scored 19 points in the first half, which was naturally surprising.

Not only that, Rajon Rondo also gave the highest 9 assists in the game. He was undoubtedly very outstanding.

On the defensive end, Rajon Rondo's performance was also very good, forcing Wu Feng to make three mistakes and also covered Wu Feng with an attack.

With such a comprehensive performance, Rajon Rondo is enough to be called the most valuable player in the first half of the game tonight.

In contrast, Wu Feng's various statistics are similar to those of Rajon Rondo, with 17 points, which is the highest score of the Hawks' team; 7 assists are also the highest score of the Hawks' team.

However, Wu Feng's limelight was obviously overwhelmed by Rajon Rondo. Obviously, the latter did not want Wu Feng, the new most valuable player, to be too "showing his power" at the North Shore Garden Arena.

…………

Before we knew it, the halftime break had ended, and Wu Feng and the others returned to the court, preparing to face the more intense and cruel game in the second half.

"We must curb Rajan." Wu Feng looked at Rajan Rondo and thought to himself.

As soon as the second half began, Wu Feng and Rajon Rondo, the two point guards at the front of the league, started a fierce showdown.

Rajon Rondo made a fake move to trick Wu Feng into a foul, but Wu Feng was not fooled.

However, Rajon Rondo passed the ball to Ray Allen with a back pass.

After Ray Allen received the ball, he jumped up and shot directly.

Ray Allen's attack speed was very fast, which prevented Cork Hinrich from defending himself in time.

With a "swish", Junzi Lei hit his second three-pointer in the game.

With this three-pointer hit, the score on the field immediately changed, and the Celtics instantly expanded their lead to 9 points.

As soon as the third quarter started, the Celtics quickly got into the state.

Wu Feng used the ball and quickly advanced towards the Celtics' half. Rajon Rondo watched Wu Feng come to the frontcourt and quickly posted it on.

Since Wu Feng had already made three mistakes and his performance was excellent, Rajon Rondo couldn't help but be careless at this moment.

After seeing Wu Feng vaguely revealing some flaws, he immediately stretched out his hand to break Wu Feng's ball.

But just when Rajon Rondo thought he was going to cut off the ball in Wu Feng's hand again, Wu Feng was delighted and pulled it to the left, directly throwing Rajon Rondo behind.

Getting rid of Rajon Rondo's defense, Wu Feng rushed straight toward the Celtics' basket.

At this moment, Brandon Bass was guarding the Celtics' basket.

Brandon Bass didn't dare to easily defend Wu Feng because Al Horford was behind him.

Wu Feng saw that Brandon Bass didn't make up for it. He felt secretly proud, and then without any pause, he still rushed to the Celtics' basket and then made a layup.

Brandon Bass was anxious and quickly came up to block the block, but when he rushed to block the block, Wu Feng shook his wrist and the ball reached Al Horford behind Brandon Bass.

After receiving the ball, Al Horford yelled and dunked his hands to score.

Rajon Rondo realized his carelessness and was immediately upset.
