The Godfather of Basketball

The third game of the Eastern Conference semifinals is imminent.

For Celtics fans, they are experiencing what Philadelphia fans experienced in the first round.

Desperate, without any comeback point.

However, the tradition of the giants permeates in their bones, and they still believe in their home team.

The North Shore Garden Arena is surrounded by green lights. In order to increase the momentum of the home court, hundreds of fans spontaneously painted their air wands green behind the baskets on both sides. This is to do everything possible to interfere with the performance of the Cavaliers.

During the opening ceremony before the game, the arena also edited the scene of winning the championship in the last century, and also gave a close-up of the row of championship flags above the arena.

All this shows that the home team is doing its best to win.

This is also the expectation of the whole of Boston.

Angie was sitting in the middle of the auditorium at this time.

His expression was a little dignified.

In 2008, he traded Garnett from the Timberwolves and brought Ray Allen, forming the first true Big Three in modern times.

I wanted to do a big job, but I was overthrown by the Rockets first. Garnett was reimbursed for the season in the middle, and was reversed by the Cavaliers last season.

It is really unlucky to have only entered the finals once in three years.

Now meeting the historic Cavaliers again, he didn't even have to say anything to cheer for the team like he did last season.

Now the Celtics are on the weak side.

He glanced at the Cavaliers' bench.

Oh my God!

It was this rookie head coach that he failed to recruit at the beginning, but now he has become the biggest obstacle in his way to revive the Celtics dynasty.

Unfortunately, he was helpless.

Now, I can only hope that these old guys can fight back at home.

"Use all your strength to win the game."

As he said in the locker room before the game, the Celtics' Big Three are coming to an end, and this may be their last chance.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of both sides were released one after another.

The starting lineups on both sides are the same as in the previous two games.

At the start of the game, Yao Ming jumped and beat O'Neal, giving the Cavaliers the opportunity to attack first.

Paul pushed up the court, still passed the ball to Yao Ming in the low post, and then quickly circled the basket to take the defender away.

James and Green made an off-the-ball pick-and-roll on the weak side at the same time. James went to the basket and Green went out to contain the Celtics' defense, so that other players did not dare to double-team the basket easily.

Yao Ming's beautiful footwork completely shook O'Neal away, turned around and hit the board to score.

The Celtics' offense, Pierce and Ray Allen are still being strictly guarded, Garnett hit James back and missed.

Yao Ming took off the defensive rebound and Paul scored on a fast break.

The rhythm of the game was exactly the same as the previous two games. The Cavaliers were playing against the Celtics on both offense and defense.

After halftime, the Cavaliers led the Celtics 56 to 38.

The Celtics played tougher at home than before, but this only made them fall behind by a few points at halftime.

The strength gap between the two sides is on the bright side.

Playing according to the normal rhythm, the Cavaliers' 3-0 is already a certainty.

In the second half of the third quarter of the game, the Cavaliers' lead came to 25 points, and the two sides began to replace one after another.

The Cavaliers are led by James, and the Celtics are led by Pierce.

The atmosphere of the audience was very dignified.

If the home court is unable to counterattack and the big score becomes 3-0, then the Big Three may really be broken up.

Pierce received a pass from West in the frontcourt, and James stuck tight.

At this moment, Glenn Davis ran out and took the initiative to pick and roll.

James dodges sideways, but Davis moves laterally to block again, and Pierce grabs a sliver of open shot.

"Shua!"

Biao hit a three-pointer.

"That's a mobile pick and roll!"

James turned to the referee at this time and shouted.

The referee shook his head and signaled James to go back.

Because of the line of sight, this is a misjudgment.

James continued to argue, only to receive a warning whistle.

The majesty of the referee is not allowed to be challenged, even if he is James.

At this time, Tang Tian proposed to watch the replay on the sidelines, but was also rejected.

The penalty was not changed in the end, and the Cavaliers continued to have the ball.

Paul dribbled the ball to the front court and gave the ball to James. James' breakthrough in the middle was pulled down by Davis. The referee called Davis' foul, but the two were entangled and did not separate.

The Celtics were already suffocating when they fell behind, and a misjudgment became the fuse.

The smell of gunpowder on the field of both sides became stronger at once.

"Calm down! They're just trying to piss us off!"

Tang Tian yelled twice from the sidelines.

With a lead of more than 20 points, if a conflict breaks out on the court at this time, it will not be of any benefit to the Cavaliers.

After a roar, the mentality of the Cavaliers has almost adjusted, but the Celtics' actions are getting bigger and bigger.

Pushed Anderson down on offense, and covered Brown's face directly on defense.

At this time, the referee intentionally or unintentionally made some home calls, and the Celtics took advantage of the situation to play a 6-0 offensive, reducing the score to less than 20 points.

The referee's favoritism further indulged the Celtics' actions. During the offense, Davis moved the pick-and-roll and knocked over Anderson, who almost dislocated his arm.

The referee called a foul this time.

But when Davis retreated, he smiled and looked at the Cavaliers bench.

Tang Tian frowned fiercely, and stretched out his hand to pause.

He thought of Wallace being crippled by Davis and Perkins last season.

Last year he chose to counterattack with actions on the court, but this year, he is not going to do so.

Back from the timeout, the Cavaliers made major changes to the lineup.

Anderson, Brown, and James were all replaced, and the team played a small lineup.

Center Rasheed Wallace, power forward Artest, small forward Barnes, shooting guard Stephenson, point guard Paul.

The Cavaliers' offense, Paul and Wallace's pick-and-roll, was pulled down by Krstic on the layup.

Kostic's movement range is a bit large, and Paul directly pushed him.

Just then, Davis pushed Paul back and forth, chattering.

There was booing.

But at this moment, behind Paul, the rest of the Cavaliers rushed over.

Wallace, Artest, Barnes, and Stephenson pushed Davis and spoke harsh words. With those ferocious faces, the Celtics players froze for a moment and did not dare Go up and help.

"Roaring God" Wallace, notoriously violent, the number one technical offender in his career.

Artest, the villain on the court, was also suspended for one season because of fans.

Barnes, even more notorious, fought better than he played.

Stephenson, a rookie, is not as well-known as the previous ones, but he is not at all cowardly at critical moments.

As soon as these few went up, the posture opened up.

come!

Tough!
