Chapter 862: Finally Meeting

Without any suspense, the 76ers were eliminated by the Pacers 4-0...... The Nets advanced to the next round 4:2 and then eliminated the Pacers 4:1! The competition on the other end is fierce!

The Celtics and Cavaliers managed to advance after playing seven games!

The teams that advanced in the first round on the Western side were the Spurs, Lakers, Rockets, and Warriors! After that, the Lakers were eliminated by the Spurs, and the Warriors won this time against the Rockets and the Spurs met again! The playoffs in the West are usually played by two teams.

The Celtics team has basically had a smooth journey after getting Garnett this season! When the Celtics were the Big Three, the power was huge!

It is a little regrettable for netizens that this season until the end of the regular season, Pierce did not return to the team. Whether it was Ray Allen's one-sided invitation or his and Kevin's desire to bring him back to the current Boston Celtics, in the end, he couldn't get his wish.

But Garnett and Ray Allen can still play well when they are present! And the Green Shirts here are playing very well in addition to the main team!

It seems that at the beginning of the playoffs, Chan felt like they were going to meet eventually. He thought it would be the Rockets, but the Warriors didn't give them a chance this year.

In the Celtics vs. Cavaliers game, Stevens could have used players to bomb Cleveland's head in turn! And in this case, although the knights fought with each other until the seventh game, they still failed to win in the end!

In this, Ray Allen's scoring contribution still played a big role. The two teams that fans have been waiting for are finally going to meet!

It's not easy for teams in the West to predict, but seeing the Warriors and Spurs meet again, whether it's Chen or the current fan votes, there are basically a lot of fans on the side of the Warriors!

"Don't be overconfident when playing against Garnett, thinking you can score against his defense. So I don't feel like I'm sure I'm going to pass the ball out. ”

The Celtics have been trying to win the Nets in recent years, and they have been taken by the other side...... They summed it up like there was something wrong with the players. So Ray Allen came back, and then Garnett went back as well.

Then in this regard, they are the team with the most powerful veteran players in the league! And, in terms of injuries, they're keeping the whole team healthy right now!

Not long after the Celtic Park stadium, the players from both sides came to the field when the scene was full!

Today's Green Shirts starters are Horford, Garnett, Hayward, Ray Allen, Irving! Such a lineup feels like a championship among their fans! With Garnett and Ray Allen on the team at the same time, Irving has become less likely to attack on his own in the game.

But his attack is still very sharp!

In this way, both the defense and the offense of the opponent have reached a certain height! When playing against the Cavaliers, who also have a good lineup, they didn't show any fear!

Stevens' consistent tough style has made this team very capable of fighting this season! Every player wants to get good stats in such a situation, but it's not easy to get high stats in this current team!

The starters sent by the Nets today are Mozgov, Allen, Williamson, Daniels and Jeremy Lin! Williamson had a bit of a headache as soon as he saw Hayward playing.

The Celtics are one of the teams that can defend him at the moment, and the Spurs and Warriors in the West have players who can guard him. For a super team now, there will be a lot of top players in such a team!

It's game on! Mozgov took the lead and passed the ball to Williamson, who broke through and scored 2 points before the opponent had time to defend!

The players on the Nets' bench immediately became excited, and several of them were already up to watch the game. Chen's mood was also a little excited. Every 1 point in the game is crucial for them now!

Irving took Hayward's ball and passed the half, and Ray Allen jumped up and went into the net immediately after taking the basketball on the other side! In their eyes, the Celtics this season, whether it is the Nets or the Warriors in the West, can basically handle it!

Defensively, they have a healthy Hayward and Williamson to fight! In terms of projection ability, they have players like Jalen, Irving, and Ray Allen on the team! All the conditions are similar, just the championship trophy!

Lin quickly got to the front court with the ball, and immediately he was caught by Ray Allen and Owen! After Williamson took the basketball, he suddenly shook Hayward and jumped up to shoot, which was directly interfered with by the opponent! Horford got the rebound at the end and immediately passed the ball to Garnett, who passed the ball to Irving in the half, and Irving hit a three-point jumper with a straight step back under Lin's defense! 6:2!

The intensity of the opponent's defense is huge! And it's not slow in operation! Williamson took the basketball and slowly passed the half, where Hayward was already waiting for him. After Allen took over the basketball, he immediately faced Garnett's defensive shot, and his shot was directly blocked by the opponent!

As soon as Irving got the basketball, he got up and down, and then Daniels! When the distance is relatively long, he starts to change direction, and when he is about to get close to Williamson, he passes him directly and lays up to score points! 8:2!

Chen immediately asked for a timeout when he saw this. The pace of the other party is too fast! Irving is very good at dribbling and attacking in the current league!

He also knows what kind of opponent he is facing! So there is nothing left to keep in the offensive either! The Celtics' intention is very obvious, that is, to bring down the Nets in the early stage!

Drag them into garbage time and wait for the Eastern Conference championship to meet the Warriors in the Finals! For them, the Warriors this season are still relatively good!

In Chen's mind, the best game in the West is one that the Warriors can win in the end. The Rockets also have their own obvious weaknesses. But if the Spurs win...... It's hard to say. The Spurs, as the No. 1 team in the regular season this season, have shown a significant change in offense from last season!

In the regular season, they were playing seriously. Sometimes it's like Duncan, Ginobili who rests, or Gasol, Leonard, who rests and the team can still win the game......

It's terrifying! For Popovich, the team now has Duncan and Kawaii to rest and see how the team is doing. And when they are in the rest of the players, let's see when they play a little more time and when their fitness will drop.

He can handle both situations! Popovich didn't get any place in the previous seasons, and he felt that this was also the reason why the players were not very mature. And now he thinks it's basically time!

In the playoffs, the team's cooperation and individual players' combat effectiveness are already very good!

"The first thing is not to play at the pace of the other side. Don't follow the other person's rhythm at this moment. Zhou Qi came over, you also saw just now, Garnett's defense is still good, so it's nothing to pass the ball more, and don't attack without much confidence. Bojan plays the No. 3 position ......"

Chen estimated that Stevens already knew what lineup he was going to play before the game. So at the beginning, they began to suppress them strongly!

For a squad like this, no matter which team it is, it basically feels quite distressing. But in this case, the game has to go on.

Hayward came to defend Williamson, and Bojan replaced him. Zhou Qi's flexibility is still good. As soon as Allen came on the field, he suddenly fell into passivity. For Allen, he wants to use his rhythm to play attacking.

"Hehe, it's really a pattern~" Garnett said in his heart as he watched Aaron's movements from time to time. At the moment, whether it's with the Nets or with the Celtics, he feels like he can play his place well.

That's what the team wants!

"When you're defending, try not to let them score in every turn! Do more cooperation, Hayward sometimes has to do a pick-and-roll for Garnett, and Ray Allen, this should be more ......"

Jalen, Baynes, Monroe, they were also watching the manager's assignments. They're always ready to play! These players can basically play to other teams for a while!

In terms of strength, it's pretty good, but now the playing time in every game is still quite limited!

The game came back and Stevens also saw that the opposing Williamson did not come up. Zhou Qi came to the arena with his teammates. Daniels passed the half, Irving immediately passed the ball to Zhou Qi when he was close, and Bojan took his pass and shot a three-point jumper in front of Hayward!

Hayward saw the ball pop up and immediately rushed out, and then collided with Zhou Qi! After the two fell to the ground, Horford got the basketball and threw it immediately! Ray Allen took the basketball and passed the ball to Irving, and Hayward went to the front court to take the basketball and jumped to hit a three-point shot! 11:2!

Stevens watched the game quietly, not reacting much to his team's constant scoring. He feels like playing away from home to win them, playing on his home turf has to win against them! He's waiting for garbage time for this game.

Lin held the ball through the half, and under Irving's defense, he suddenly got up to speed past the opponent and then bypassed Hayward in the air and scored 2 points! 11:4!

It didn't take long for Owen to rush to the front court immediately after getting the basketball, Garnett took his ball and quickly dribbled to Zhou Qi to let the opponent get a foul and successfully played 2+1! 14:4!

The fans at the scene went crazy! This is the picture they wanted! The Celtics ended the first quarter with a figurative lead in such offense!

"That's it!" Some of the Celtic players are thinking about it right now.

After Bojan arrived in the front court, he immediately passed the ball to Zhou Qi, who took a step to break through to Garnett, but the referee did not award after the two had physical contact! After Hayward quickly got the basketball, he dribbled the ball, but Lin suddenly appeared, broke the ball in his hand, dribbled a few times, and immediately jumped up and threw the ball in the air!

Basketball hits the board into the basket! 14:6! Williamson, they immediately stood up and shouted for Jeremy Lin!

Now the Nets need something simple, and that's scoring! The oppression of the Nets in front of the opponent still worked!

Irving quickly passed the half, and Ray Allen got his ball and immediately jumped for a three-point shooter! Mozgov quickly got the rebound and passed the ball to Zhou Qi! Daniels took his pass and immediately held the ball to the front court and hit a three-point shot! 14:9!

Stevens asked for a timeout at this time!

"Jaylen, Jason, Monroe, you guys prepare! Increase outside shots and pass the ball to Horford or Monroe if there aren't many chances! Slowing down...... "I clearly felt that my team was starting to drop in efficiency. The other party took advantage of this opportunity to catch up after a while.

"Pay attention to the rhythm of the game. Playing at our own pace, the opportunity came out Bojan quickly broke through, and Daniels had to cooperate with the team at some times...... "Such a lineup still has a lot of lethality!"

So Chen didn't choose to change players.

When the game came back, Irving passed the ball to Jalen in the backcourt, and under the defense of Daniels, Brown rushed directly to meet Zhou Qi is a violent dunk!! 16:9!

Under the leadership of Stevens, there seems to be no player on the current Celtics team who can't play! This dunk seems to bring back the team's morale!

Lin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and suddenly retracted under Irving's defense and hit a three-point jumper! 16:12! Now Jeremy Lin wants to close the gap with the opposing team as soon as possible!

Irving jumped up for three points immediately after halftime! After Monroe got the rebound, he shot at Zhou Qi and was directly covered by him! Jason got the basketball and passed the ball to Horford, who scored straight away! 18:12!

Daniels receives Lin's pass and lays up and is covered by Monroe! Bojan picked up the basketball and was interfered with by Jason! Horford stuck Mozgov at this time and got the ball to Irving after getting the basket! The latter jumped directly into the net with three points in the front court! 21:12!

The current Green Shirts are trying their best to make the score difference to more than 10 points! And their ultimate goal is to get a 20-point difference! It wasn't easy, as the Nets eliminated the Raptors in the first round. They haven't been completely incapable throughout the season.

The Celtics are fighting, and so are the Nets! It's just that the other party's state looks really good today! After receiving Lin's pass, Bojan immediately got up and hit a 2-point jumper after almost 10 seconds of battle with Jason! 21:14!

Lin immediately went back to defend, and Owen watched Jeremy Lin come over with the ball! Daniels wants to sandwich Owen with Lin! Jalen took Irving's pass and immediately moved quickly for a while, and after that, he was quite far from Daniels.

The teammates felt quite normal when they saw this scene. Jaylen jumped up and smashed three points into the basket!! 24:14!

Just after halftime, Jamie Lin was caught by the opponent's bag! Looks like they've guessed what Lin is going to do! Just when three players were attracted to defend Lin, Bojan suddenly took Jeremy Lin's ball and jumped up and hit a three-point shot! 24:17!

The basketball came to Brown again, and Jason, who was in the bottom corner, took his pass and immediately threw the ball!
