Chapter 313

Before the start of the second half, Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers made some adjustments to the team's main lineup. The three-point shooter Ray Allen, who had been sitting on the bench until now, was put on the bench. Among the main list.Since Ray Allen had just returned from injury, coach Doc Rivers chose to put Ray Allen on the bench and let teenager Avery Bradley serve as the team's starting shooting guard.However, Avery Bradley's performance in this game was not very good, and the team had fallen behind by as many as [-] points. Coach Doug Rivers had to adjust Ray Allen to Among the main list.

"Our performance in the first half of the game was pretty bad!" Coach Doc Rivers said to his disciples, "But I hope everyone can forget it! Now that the game has come to the second half, we still have a chance to win The victory of the game! As long as the final whistle has not sounded, we cannot give up the game! We still have 24 minutes, I hope you can show your strength in these 24 minutes!"

"Indeed, we shouldn't give up now!" Paul Pierce, the captain of the team, also said loudly, "If we lose this game, then our situation will be very dangerous! In order not to let our efforts this season go to waste , we must do our best in the next 24 minutes!"

Inspired by coach Doc Rivers and the captain, the Boston Celtics players stepped onto the court for the second half of the game.

"Just let it go, you guys!" Rajon Rondo, the main point guard of the Boston Celtics, said bitterly to himself while gearing up.

On the other end of the court, the Indiana Pacers players also returned to the court.Xu Nuo raised his head high, as if he didn't see the hateful expression on Rajon Rondo's face at all. "It's useless for you to look at me like this, we will still win in the end!" Xu Nuo said in his heart.

Rajon Rondo receives the ball from power forward Brandon Bass and begins dribbling upfield.Kevin Garnett mentions the high pick-and-roll for Rajon Rondo, and Rajon Rondo immediately takes the opportunity to shake off the promised defense, get past Kevin Garnett, and speed toward the Indiana Pacers' basket rush away.Meanwhile, Indiana Pacers generals Danny Granger and David West moved quickly to block Rajon Rondo's progress.

"The defensive strength hasn't dropped at all!" Rajon Rondo sighed in his heart.

However, at the same time, Rajon Rondo flicked his wrist slightly, and the ball quickly flew into the hands of Paul Pierce who was standing outside the three-point line.Although Danny Granger returned to the defense quickly, Danny Granger still steadily made a long three-pointer from the outside, helping the Boston Celtics to narrow the point difference slightly.

"Has Paul Pierce really recovered his shooting touch?" Xu Nuo thought to himself, taking the ball from shooting guard DeMar DeRozan.

When the Indiana Pacers began to attack, the Conseco Arena once again sounded like a tsunami of cheers.Xu Nuo used David West's screen to break through the Boston Celtics' defense and then passed the ball to Danny Granger.Danny Granger feints over Paul Pierce, then dribbles laterally.At this moment, the referee on duty, Joe Crawford, blew his whistle.

"What?" Danny Granger looked at Joe Crawford in amazement, "How could it be dribbling and walking?"

However, referee Joe Crawford ignored Danny Granger's protest and still maintained his penalty.Danny Granger had no choice but to put down the ball in his hand, turned around and walked towards his team's half court. Immediately, there were boos all over the Conseco Arena.

"It seems that the devil's home atmosphere in the Conseco Arena has not helped the Indiana Pacers at all!" The live commentator and Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

At this time, the Boston Celtics attacked again on the court, and Rajon Rondo still handed the ball to Paul Pierce.Because Danny Granger was a little afraid of Paul Pierce's shooting, he began to stick tightly to Paul Pierce, trying his best to suppress Paul Pierce's shooting space.So Paul Pierce suddenly accelerated and began to break through Danny Granger's defense with the ball.

"Be careful protecting the inside line!" Xu Nuo said loudly.

Although the Indiana Pacers' two big inside players, center Roy Hibbert and power forward David West, both paid attention to the protection of the basket, Paul Pierce still took three slow steps into the Indiana Pacers In the restricted area of ​​the Boston Celtics, he scored a layup against Roy Hibbert's defense. At 42:52, the away Boston Celtics were "only" ten points behind the home Indiana Pacers.

"Hey, chasing points is really fast!" Xu Nuo said in his heart.

In the next attack, Xu Nuo did not hand the ball to Danny Granger, but passed it to the inside power forward David West.David West holds the ball with his back to Boston Celtics power forward Brandon Bass and starts to solo with the ball after the rest of the Indiana Pacers space the offense s.However, Brandon Bass' defense was quite good, and David West had no shot at all after turning around, so David West had to choose to pass the ball.Center Roy Hibbert received a pass from David West and followed it up with a dunk.

"This is a cooperation between two inside players. To be honest, David West's pass is really good!" said the on-site commentator Reggie Miller.

Relying on the steady performance of two inside players, the home team Indiana Pacers once again led the visiting team Boston Celtics 56:42 by as much as [-] points. Paul Pierce just scored five points in a row and managed to catch up. Once pulled apart.

"The current Boston Celtics are always in a situation of catching up, and they have been passive from the beginning of the game to the present." On-site commentator Reggie Miller said, "If they still can't win in the third quarter If the point difference is reduced to within double digits, then their situation in this game will be quite dangerous!"

"We know this even if you don't tell me!" Rajon Rondo said coldly.

Since the start of the second half, the Boston Celtics have been concentrating the ball in the hands of Paul Pierce, with Paul Pierce as the team's offensive arrow.And Paul Pierce did not disappoint his teammates, scoring seven points in a row after the start of the third quarter.However, since then, Paul Pierce once again fell into the vicious circle of repeated missed shots. In the nearly 9 minutes remaining in the third quarter, Paul Pierce only scored two points with free throws.

"It turned out that Paul Pierce scored seven points in a row, but it was just a sudden explosion." Xu Nuo said.

Rajon Rondo wanted to refute the promise, but Rajon Rondo couldn't think of any arguments to refute the promise. "It seems that we can only speak with practical actions!" Rajon Rondo thought in his heart.

So Rajon Rondo once again began to break through with the ball on his own, attacking the Indiana Pacers' defense with his own strength.However, the effect of Rajon Rondo in doing so is not very good. Under the strong defense of the Indiana Pacers, Rajon Rondo's offensive efficiency is not high.At the end of the third quarter, the Boston Celtics still trailed the Indiana Pacers at home by 56:70 by [-] points.

"In this way, it is really difficult for the Boston Celtics to have a chance to win!" On-site commentator Reggie Miller sighed, "If the Boston Celtics come back with a big score of 0:2 Going to the home court is quite detrimental to their situation in this series!"

When referee Joe Crawford blew the whistle to end the third quarter, the Boston Celtics players bowed their heads and walked slowly to the team bench.Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers folded his hands and looked serious.

"Hey, Doug, we haven't lost the game yet!" Paul Pierce said to Coach Doug Rivers.

"Of course we haven't lost the game yet!" Coach Doc Rivers said seriously, "However, there is an indisputable fact that the game in the fourth quarter will definitely be quite difficult!"

Paul Pierce nodded silently without saying anything.

"And our performance in this quarter was not good at all!" Coach Doug Rivers continued.

"It was my fault!" Paul Pierce said.

"I don't mean to blame you!" Coach Doug Rivers said, "I mean, we really need to make some adjustments to attack the solid defense of the Indiana Pacers!"

Hearing what Coach Doug Rivers said, Rajon Rondo also turned to look at Coach Doug Rivers.

"Rajon, no matter what you think in your heart, you must hand the ball to Ray Allen after the fourth quarter begins!" Coach Doug Rivers looked at Rajon Rondo, with a kind of Said in a tone without any room for negotiation.

Rajon Rondo glanced at Ray Allen, who was sitting not far away, and frowned slightly.
