The Celtics are much more nervous than the Pacers, especially when they start to fall behind.

The mood when you are lagging behind is different from when you are leading.

Some people have a burden with their minds, some have stiff hands and feet, and some have bad condition, and now they are in even worse condition.

One minute before the end of the first half, Ray Allen made a three-pointer.

Pacers scored counterattack.

49 to 41

The gap became even bigger, and Rondo wanted to organize a wave of attacks in the few minutes before the end of the half. He looked at the position of others and found that it was best if he had a strong attack with the ball.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and suggested that others come forward to pick-and-roll.

Stoudemire has a double pick-and-roll threat, and it is most suitable for him to come to the pick-and-roll.

The high-quality pick-and-roll of Little Overlord helped Rondo to get into the paint area in one step, and Kirilenko's assisted defense was the final obstacle.

Rondo's layup was picked out from under the Russian arm and played cricket.

A second before the end of the half, Xie Hou failed to make the long shot in the backcourt and entered the second half.

43 to 49

"Coach, what do you think of Arthur's three-pointers in the second quarter?"

Rivers had long thought that he would be asked about this.

"I'm glad he didn't score four in half," Rivers said shamelessly. "Our defense was at the beginning, but later we strengthened the defense and Arthur stopped scoring three-pointers."

Fans who watched the game knew that it was not that Xie Hou failed to score a three-pointer, but that he didn't touch the ball in those two minutes, and all kinds of trash-talking and squirting trash words stimulated Pierce's big heart.

Arrogant men often have strong self-esteem and cannot bear blows and insults.

Xie Hou didn't love much in his life. It was one of his favorite things to do on the court that he thought he was amazing, to break down their dignity and make them see the gap clearly.

Pierce is a person who often cannot see the gap clearly. He has to let the "truth" know how big the gap is.

Pierce has reached a certain point of madness and is also good at making various self-suggestions in his heart.

Xie Hou felt that his work was only half completed, and he would be implemented gradually in the second half.

The Celtics' breakthrough pass shot fired the first shot in the second half.

When Stoudmeier followed Nash, three or four of these cakes were fed into his mouth at each game.

The Celtics asked him to do more on the defensive end and have many opportunities to eat cakes, but that was the regular season. Entering the playoffs, his pressure was much greater than before, and his chances of eating cakes were greatly reduced. As for high-level catches and offenses, it was even more a matter that depends on fate.

After the little bully scored, the excitement may take less than 20 seconds.

Xie Hou transported the ball from the backcourt across the frontcourt, stepped on the three-point line, and his hands pushed the ball into the air. At first glance, he thought it was a shooting, but after looking closely, he realized that its arc was not towards the basket - "That's a pass!" Rondo shouted, and his teammates in the inside should react faster than him.

Only when they react can the Celtics' defense have hope of success.

Xie Hou used the ball's rotation to cause visual errors, and neither Stoudemire nor Perkins could react. If they reacted in time, they might be able to successfully interfere with the attack.

And now, let alone interfering with the attack, they can't even move.

The ball has flew behind them.

O'Neal Jr. received a pass from the hanging, using Stoudemire's body as support, and scored with the board.

51 to 45

The 6-point gap has not changed, and Rondo wants to play quickly.

His gestures hint at Ray Allen.

"Jesus" is ready to catch and shoot in advance. The changes in details can remind teammates and opponents who know him.

Since Artest blocked his mission, he naturally had some grasp of all the movement habits of Gentleman Thunder.

Seeing him shaking his shoulders angrily, he was ready.

Ray Allen couldn't understand why Artest could guess his words and deeds. He wanted to cross the ball from behind Rondo to the 45-degree angle on the right, and Artest followed.

He was guarded to death, so Rondo looked at Pierce.

Pierce was only concerned about speaking the truth, and was expecting him to score? Rondo looked at the position at his feet, and the Greeks let him two meters away from the three-point line.

Griefed and threw it.

"Bang!"

It is these frequent shots that should not be lost, which gives Rondo's opponents endless confidence.

"It seems that our efforts to vent our venting are not strong enough!" Thibodeau could actually say such words.

Claire nodded slightly, Papalucas was a little more implicit compared to others, and only placed Rondo two meters. Putting two meters means that he was not "reassuring" enough to shoot against Rondo.

If you don’t let it go big enough, it is also a positive psychological hint for the person you are letting go.

Unfortunately, Rondo's touch is so bad.

Missed a three-pointer, and the long rebound was taken by Xie Hou. His position was too far away. The Celtics watched him rushing to the frontcourt and dunked.

53 to 46

Only three minutes later in the second half, Rivers requested a timeout.

Rondo has become the root of the problem. He was released in turn because of lack of shooting threats. As an outstanding creator of ball holding, the offensive threat he has played is extremely limited.

The Celtics exchanged for Sam Kassel, and he rested for a long time. His abundant physical fitness was enough to support four or five minutes of the game. If it worked miraculously, it would be impossible to let him play a few more minutes.

Sure enough, once a person is replaced, the Pacers' defensive strategy will be different.

It was still outsiders who were staring at people, but from putting two meters to defending closely.

"The defense is really cruel today. Any technical omission will become the opponent's breakthrough. If someone treated Dr.J like this in the 1980s, I believe he would have made reliable shooting." McGuinness took advantage of Jin Yan Gu.

Cassel played and solved the problem of the ball-holder being disrespected, but the substantive problem of the Celtics was that Pierce and Ray Allen were not accurate.

Xie Hou and Artest made great contributions.

Especially Xie Hou, he not only bears the load on the offensive core, but also locks Pierce.

Pierce was activated before reading aloud, but later Xie Hou used two sessions of competition to chant scriptures and speak trash words like mantras, which made the "truth" lose its threat.

Kassel is experienced and has no touch on the offensive core and can hit points that are easier to score.

He called out Stoudemire, and passed the ball with a textbook pick-and-roll cut-in.

Stoudemire attacked the basket, and O'Neal Jr. made a foul. He knew it was his negligence, so he raised his hand to show his mistake after the foul.

No one blames him, it's just one round, just be careful next time.

Stoudemire walked onto the free throw line and made one of two free throws.

47 to 55

The situation is still not resolved if the Pacers make the next attack, the gap between the two sides will widen to 10 points.

Xie Hou pulled to a corner.

Rivers claimed that their defensive strategy made Xie Hou unable to make three points, but they dared not let Xie Hou shoot.

Xie Hou stood by without moving, Pierce followed him, and he wanted to keep an eye on Xie Hou.

It seems ridiculous, but he is indeed doing something very important.

Xie Hou pointed to the inside line, suggesting that the Greeks could fight more.

Anyone who is familiar with Papalucas knows that he is playing an extremely excellent season, averaging 11 points and 8 assists per game in the regular season, and averaging 12 points and 9 assists per game in the playoffs. Instead of falling, it rises. Judging from the data alone, it is no worse than Kidd this year.

Kidd averaged 11 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists per game with the Lakers.

Papalucas averaged 11 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists per game. Moreover, compared with Master Ki's shooting percentage (38.6%), his shooting percentage of his early 50% is too beautiful.

Papalucas is more confident than in the past, and he directs O'Neal Jr. to provide false cover for Xie Hou.

Xie Hou's three-pointer in the second quarter made the Celtics beg each of his actions. O'Neal Jr.'s screening turned Stoudemire's attention to the outside, and then he turned around and cut back to the basket before the screen was formed.

Poor defensive literacy prevented Stoudemire from responding correctly.

He was patronizing Xie Hou and did not notice that O'Neal had already occupied his territory.

The Greeks passed the ball, and the O's dunk.

57 to 47

"The difference is 10 points!"

"I don't know what Amare Stodmeier is doing, is that defense? No, he's like a traffic policeman on the road!" McGuinness laughed. "If he could figure out the gestures that direct traffic, I'm sure he would be the best traffic policeman in the United States."

Stoudemire was not ridiculed for nothing, his response was very imposing.

The outside world went to the paint area, and the shooting fake moves to shake O'Neal Jr., and rushed to the basket and dunked.

49 to 57

The score he lost was recovered by him again.
Chapter completed!
