The loss in Game 6 obviously had an impact on the Boston Celtics. Although many of the players in their squad have experienced countless storms and waves, it is clear that the reversal of the game has quietly changed their mentality, and this effect has been carried over to the seventh game.
The Celtics fell off in Game 7 and were in a terrible state of adversity from the first minute of the game, with no feeling of the game leaving them with the same energy they had in their previous wins.
It was as if the Boston fans who came to the North Shore Garden Arena that night felt like they were back in Game 2 of the series, and that feeling of powerlessness didn't even give the Clevelanders the motivation to boo.
No one thought that the semi-finals, which had been up and down before, would become such a shape in the seventh game, with such a surprising beginning, because this is the seventh game, a game that determines life and death, but it seems that the advantages and disadvantages will be clear at the beginning.
The Cavaliers played an encouraging rhythm in the opening game, and a wave of 10:0 small high chao directly allowed them to establish a big lead in the opening game. The only difference from the second game is that it was not only Wu Dawei who played in this game, Wu Dawei was only one of the heroes of this 10:0, and the other players of the Cavaliers also had their own good performances.
While Celtics head coach Doug . Rivers reacted quickly, and he quickly requested a timeout to ease the extremely disadvantaged situation on the court, but when the timeout came back, the situation for the Boston Celtics did not change for the better.
At the end of the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers who were playing away were extremely smooth that night, and at 28:15, the Cavaliers had a huge advantage of 13 points at the end of the first quarter, which was undoubtedly very encouraging for the whole team. At the same time, it also made the players of the Cavaliers a little more relaxed in their mentality.
On the contrary, on the side of the Boston Celtics playing at home, several old guys are somewhat unprepared for such a situation, which also gives the Cavaliers a chance.
And in the second quarter of the game. At the beginning, the Cavaliers' bench lineup also swept away the slump in the previous games. As the Cavaliers' scoring leader in the regular season, Jamison led the Cavaliers to a good performance in the second quarter.
The Boston Celtics didn't hinder the Cavaliers much in the second quarter. The 13-point gap is not only not narrowed. On the contrary, there is a tendency to expand.
At the end of the half. The score became 55:40, and the Boston Celtics only scored 40 points at halftime, and the margin was stretched to as many as 15 points by the Cavaliers.
Such a situation made the Boston fans in the North Shore Garden Arena somewhat disappointed with the team's performance. Before the start of this round of the series. They never wanted to be a stepping stone to a dark horse team.
In their opinion, being able to meet the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round would be tantamount to running into an ATM. At the moment, it is likely that the Boston Celtics will be the main ATM......
Wu Dawei's performance in this scene is not very good, and it cannot be said that it is not outstanding. It can only be said that it does not stand out in the team. 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals and 2 blocks in the half; In addition to that, the Cavaliers' top scorer in the half tonight was point guard Chauncey. Billups.
Billups' halftime count was 18 points and three assists; In addition to Billups, Andre, who has always been a blue-collar player on the team. Vallejo also had a good table with 8 points and 11 rebounds.
The Cavaliers arguably dominated the first half of Game 7 completely, and the Bostonians were powerless, leaving them looking hopeless in this game.
Even after the fifteen-minute break at halftime gave the Boston Celtics a great respite, the Bostonians who played at home after returning from the game still did not improve in the game.
The third quarter didn't go as Boston fans had imagined at halftime, with a Jedi counterattack. The Cavaliers were always that leader on the court.
Even Kevin, who has always been very good in this series. Garnett, tonight's performance is also a little out of order. As a result, the Boston Celtics' hopes for this game are even more slim.
There were no outstanding players in the game, the state of all the players was more or less sluggish, and the points behind on the field were not small. The Boston Celtics won't have a big chance of winning tonight's game.
At the end of the third quarter
The score had become 78:62, and the huge difference of 16 points was brought into the fourth quarter by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the feeling of despair appeared above the Bostonians like an impending storm at this time. The oppressive atmosphere before the rain made them completely unable to breathe.
Because in the eyes of many. The Boston Celtics are eliminated!
Although the Cavaliers replaced all their main players off the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Green Shirts still retained Kevin Kevin. Garnett started several starters, although there were only 12 minutes left in the game, but until the last minute, no matter how desperate they were, the old guys in Boston naturally didn't want to give up the game so lightly.
However, reality is not always subject to human will, and although the Boston Celtics tried to make a final push in the fourth quarter, they still struggled to overcome the 16-point gap.
When the fourth quarter ended with the score fixed at 102:90, the Boston Celtics officially ended their entire journey.
After they swept their opponents in excellent form in the first round, they didn't expect that they would play so hard in the second round and end up being eliminated.
Of course, this is a completely different situation than they had thought before the series began, but now it has happened. On the night of May 24, Boston's North Shore Garden Arena witnessed their defeat, and in the eyes of more than 20,000 Boston fans, the Boston Celtics were beaten by the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7.
The 12-point margin was a little more modest than the course of the game, and might have gotten even bigger had it not been for the Cavaliers' laziness in the final minutes.
In this match, which was almost close to slaughter, Wu Dawei did not have a very impressive appearance. 19 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and only played 30 minutes in the whole game, which can also show how uncompetitive this game is.
You must know that before Wu Dawei, the average playing time per game in the playoffs has reached 40 minutes!
The Cavaliers' best game was point guard Chauncey. Billups, who played 34 minutes in this game, contributed 27 points and 9 assists; And on the bench side, veteran Antoine. Jamison also played extremely well, contributing 21 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes of play.
And on the side of the Boston Celtics, it was Kevin who played the best. Garnett, but he only had 18 points and 12 rebounds tonight; Thunder. Allen's three-point shot tonight was completely inaccurate, which was also one of the reasons for the Green Shirts' defeat, hitting 1 of 6 three-pointers in the game and scoring only 12 points; And Paul, who is opposite Wu Dawei. Pierce was even tighter, contributing only 10 points and 6 rebounds.
The moment the whistle blew, the series of the last game of the grappling was finally over! The Cleveland Cavaliers, who entered the Eastern Conference semifinals as dark horses, have once again completed their transformation, and they will continue their dark horse journey non-stop, while the Boston Celtics, who were eliminated by them, have stopped their aging steps.
The Boston fans at the North Shore Garden Arena had a look of frustration and disappointment at this time, and the rout came as a surprise and a complete surprise to them.
When the whistle sounded, the previous strife was over. Although the Boston Celtics lost the series, the disappointed Boston fans still cheered and applauded their favorite players at this time.
The players from both sides did not leave the arena immediately, and everyone returned to the pitch after the game in an informal but routine farewell ceremony.
Of course, Wu Dawei also felt a little surprised by the promotion under such a victory, but at this time, of course, he would not think about these, and all that remained was the joy of advancing to the next round.
But Wu Dawei also knew that this was not the time to celebrate, because when he walked on the court, the first to meet the Boston Celtics team spirit, Paul who had been playing against Wu Dawei in this series. Pierce.
Facing the veteran who has been playing against him in this series, Wu Dawei still has enough respect. At least for the overall perception of the Boston Celtics, Wu Dawei is much better than his opponent in the last round, the Miami Heat, who is also his old club.
At least they will accept defeat calmly after losing the game, and face the opponents who have defeated them generously. And not like Dwayne. Wade, LeBron. James walked straight back to the locker room.
