"Welcome back to the Wachovia Center, Game 7 of the 2009 NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals, and the second half of the game is about to begin!"

The second half was about to begin, and on the side of the commentary table, Barkley and Smith, who had been gaging for about ten minutes, were all in good shape. Curry, who has gradually adapted to the live broadcast in the United States, has also faded from his initial shyness and entered a state.

"The next 24 minutes of play will determine who the Eastern Conference team will be in the Finals this season!" Smith exclaimed, "Is it the defending champion Celtics? Or the super dark horse, the first Philadelphia 76ers in the regular season? We'll see! ”

"If you take advantage of the open three-point opportunity, Philadelphia still has a chance." Barkley answered.

"Well, Philadelphia's system is well established -- I say it's a bit weird, but it's true -- it's just a few more three-pointers from the outside." Curry nodded.

On the field, players from both sides returned.

The first attack of the second half was initiated by Philadelphia.

"Defend! Stick to the inside line! They are a lump of @#¥ on the outside, and they can't shoot at all!! ”

Under the Boston basket, Garnett spewed trash talk when he opened his mouth.

Garnett deliberately oversaid this shout, not only the Celtics players, but also the Philadelphia 76ers players, including the courtside fans near the Celtics' half.

“BOOOOOOOO――！！！”

Vajovia immediately erupted in an earth-shattering boo, and all the fans in the near-court seats booed Garnett. The fans who were sitting a little farther away didn't know the situation at first, but they asked the fans in the front row, and after knowing that this was the case, they immediately booed.

"Hey......

Garnett: What level of player is that? Hall of Fame Level! He has seen a lot of this scene, what a Laker. What Spurs, what Kings, what Bulls, what Pistons, which historic team's home court he hasn't been to? What kind of fanatical boos he hadn't heard?

Garnett not only did not feel unhappy at all, but smiled quite proudly. Eyes on Philadelphia's outside players, looking for the emotion they want to see on the faces of their opponents.

Wrath.

Garnett, hoping to make Philadelphia's perimeter furious.

"Humph......!"

A hooked, simple-minded tendon Rodni Carney, where can he stand to be so provoked? Hearing Garnett's words, he immediately glared back angrily, as if he was looking down on his college coach, and he was unspeakably unhappy.

Iguodala is an old man, and the reaction is not particularly strong. Lowry also found his inner balance in the continuous game, and his performance was okay. Milicic is delicate, and the three-point shot actually has little to do with him, but when he heard this, he also blew his beard and glared at Garnett several times.

On the inside and outside, one person is a little emotionally out of balance.

It's a big deal!

Garnett was secretly pleased that the effect of this sentence was so significant, and he could get such a psychological advantage at the beginning of the second half. It's a great thing for Celtic.

Originally, in the first half, Philadelphia's outside three-point performance was bad enough. At this point, if we are psychologically out of balance, we can raise the intensity of our outside defense by another notch, and we can ......

Looking back at coach Rivers on the bench, the latter also nodded slightly to Garnett, very satisfied with the veteran's trash talk.

It's a strategy, one at half-time. The strategy set by the Celtics team.

"Strengthen the defensive intensity from the outside at the beginning!"

At halftime, as soon as Rivers said this, the Green Shirts players were a little surprised.

"Coaches, their first half...... The outside line was bad enough, and in my opinion, the second half. It's okay if you don't defend against it, why do you still strengthen it?? Rondo was puzzled.

"They're going to have to play more in the second half to give the outside a chance, which is the opposite."

Rivers didn't know this little doorway, and smiled firmly: "The reason for falling behind in the first half was because of the inaccuracy of the outside line." If you were Carlisle, how would you set up the opening tactics for the second half? ”

Rivers asked, Rondo was stunned for a moment, and then looked back at the bigwigs around him, and saw an expression on the faces of his teammates:

You're too tender, Rajan!

yes, I was down in the first half because I missed three points, what would I do if I were Carlisle?

"Of course, it's about arranging more and more subtle tactics to open up space and find opportunities for the outside. They must have expected that we would start the second half with less pressure on the perimeter and more drastic to put pressure on their interior. In this way, as long as one of them finds his touch and scores a few three-pointers in a row, won't our defense be completely messed up? ”

Rivers woke up the dreamer with a word.

"So they're going to shoot threes, and if I'm not mistaken, at this moment, Carlisle must be saying to the players: 'Shoot more threes, shoot more threes, let Chan grab the rebound!'" Tactics like that! ”

"Makes sense."

Pierce grinned, chewed gum, reached out and touched Rondo's head and said, "Learn something, rookie." ”

"So we did the opposite and started the second half with a stronger perimeter defense. If we can get their outside shooters to lose their mindset and become more obsessed with shooting three-pointers that they are not good at, our strategy will work! ”

Rivers patted the tactical board and said, "Kevin, the matter that affects their mentality is up to you!" ”

"It's so simple." Ganeji nodded, this kind of thing, the old wolf king who is proficient in psychological warfare is really easy to use.

"The more they try to pitch, the tighter we defend, the more they can't pitch. The more you can't invest, the more you want to invest, and the more you want to vote, the worse your mentality is. Vicious circle, got it? ”

Rivers looked at Rondo, who nodded heavily as he saw a light in his heart.

"Then we went to grab long rebounds, push counterattacks, completely break their momentum in the shortest possible time, and win the game in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!"

The Celtics players shouted in unison, and the reporters waiting outside the visiting dressing room were so screaming that they even stumbled under their feet.

Boston Celtics, what are you going to do? Do you go to a dry fight?

So, at the beginning of the second half, everything was as Rivers expected, and Garnett's words mobilized the anger of Philadelphia's young people. At the very least, Carney and Milicic are already in the wrong mindset.

Grab a little bit and fight to the death!

The most vicious but also the most effective tactic in the NBA is showing its fangs.

“MOVEMOVE！”

Lowry controlled the ball, gave the ball to Iguodala in the frontcourt, and the Philadelphia Flyers held the ball at the top of the arc and waited for his teammates to run.

"This way!"

Milicic was angry in his heart, and as soon as he saw Carney's eyes on the outside, he knew that his little friend thought exactly the same as himself, and he stepped forward without hesitation to make a beautiful off-ball cover.

Carney is empty!

Ray Allen watched everything, remained silent, deliberately one step late to catch up, and let Carney walk to the top of the arc.

Iguodala is about to pass the ball.

Seeing that Iguodala had already made a move to pass the ball in the direction of Carney with both hands in his hands, Ray Allen swept his eyes and gave Pierce a look, and then walked quickly and rushed towards the top of the arc.

The first ball, let you hit the iron!

"Whoosh!"

Pass the ball!

When Ray Allen came to the top of the arc, his hands open to defend the three-pointer that Carney was bound to throw.

Iguodala's pass, however, went out of a very strange folded line.

"What......?!"

Ray Allen didn't expect that Iguodala's eyes were on Carney, but the basketball in his hand was not coming in this direction at all.

The Philadelphia perimeter core, which is becoming more and more skilled, passes the ball with both hands on the ground at a time, and the basketball goes straight for the other. Whistling past the side of Pierce's body, Pierce's speed of action was not fast, and he couldn't keep up with the speed of the ball, so he could only watch the basketball fly out, stretching out his hand to block, but he could only look at the ball and sigh.

"Smack!"

On the other side, Chen Mu received the ball.

“WHAT？！！！”

Seeing this scene, Barkley and Smith were also completely stunned, and Curry was the boss with his mouth open, unable to say a word.

Old...... Chen Mu singles ?!!

Near 45 degrees in the ribs, Chen Mu received the ball and suddenly began to dribble and accelerate in the face of Garnett's defense.

Don't!

Garnett's defensive area was extremely terrifying, and when he saw Chen Mu's movements, he secretly screamed that it was not good, and immediately stepped forward to block it.

Chen Mu took a step back, the ball had already staggered, and Garnett pressed forward, seeing that the ball was about to be lost.

In an instant, Chen Mu passed.

"It's Lori!"

Curry exclaimed, and Lowry, who had already been ambushed in the weak bottom corner, received the ball. Rondo didn't expect the ball to go in this direction, all attention was on the other side, and the chase for Lowry was a little slower.

With this thread, Lowry is enough to make a move.

"Shoot threes!"

Seeing Lowry's movements as if he was about to shoot, Rondo hurriedly jumped up to block.

But the ball was lifted into the air, and under the control of Lowry's hands, one was thrown high.

Philadelphia is going to ......

"Whoosh!"

Chen Mu took off from the distracted Garnett's side.

"Bang!"

“…… Wow!!!! ”

Aerial relay !!

Up to the seventh game, the Philadelphia 76ers, who can fly and dunk, have not had an aerial relay. This time the pass was very good, and all the actions made before were an illusion, which caused the Celtic defensive line to be a mess.

Chen Mu, take this opportunity to take off and bomb the basket directly!

"Good shot! Good ball!! ”

Barkley couldn't help himself, a pair of fat hands waved wildly in the air, looking as excited as if he had killed the damn Jordan in Game 7 of the Finals.

“HEY，KG。”

After the violent buckle was completed, Chen Mu landed, looked back at the stunned Garnett, with a trademark demonic smile on his face, and said:

"Want to catch us off guard? You are clever but you are mistaken by cleverness! (To be continued.) )
