Thanks to Lu Dian... Tianyu Children's Shoes for the reward. When I typed for the first time, I typed the dew point... The input method has so much connotation, I have to face the wall myself...
Today is the Lunar New Year, and everyone must be on holiday. I wish you all a good meal and fun! Let’s not think about the troubles of work and study for the time being.

The Cavaliers finally couldn't help but substitute James. Although they were already 21 points behind, the third quarter was not over yet and there was no reason to give up easily. Newbell still felt a little trembling off the court, and Diop was beside him.
Seeing his appearance, I handed him a glass of water and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Newbell was still frightened at this time and said: "That Paul Pierce, he is really too strong. Every confrontation with him is the most difficult in my many years of playing basketball, and his fake moves are completely incomprehensible to me.
In my head, I don’t know how to guard him. Maybe only someone of LeBron’s level can play against him.”
"Didn't you also fight against LeBron in training? Nothing like this. Is Pierce even better than LeBron?"
"Although LeBron's breakthroughs are often unstoppable, they don't hurt me too much. Pierce is different. He makes it very difficult for me both offensively and defensively. He only played for more than four minutes. I was like
I usually feel so tired after playing half a game.”
James was not easy on the court. Although his physical condition was relatively good, he was the four strongest small forwards in the NBA at that time, Pierce, Anthony, and Artest. But compared to those three people, he was
Those who are least able to use their bodies to hit the inside, if they meet these guys who rely on physical confrontation to make a living, although they will not be at a disadvantage, it will still be very uncomfortable.
The Celtics were leading by more than 20 points, and the players were very relaxed. Rivers also replaced all the main players except Pierce. Swartney and Mark Blount were on the inside, and Banks and Outside were on the outside.
Tony Allen and Rivers' intention is to have Pierce continue to attack on the offensive end to cause James to foul. Now if James commits another foul, he will no longer be able to stay on the court and will at least be in fourth place.
He can return at the end of the season. On the defensive end, although Tony Allen's height and weight are somewhat different from James, his tenacity and enthusiasm will also consume a lot of James' energy. James faces the opponent's best players on both offense and defense.
, naturally it won’t be that easy.
Pierce passed James and took a shot. However, James' physical talent was too good. After being missed, he jumped up like a spring man as soon as his foot touched the ground, hit the ball, and the ball hit the backboard.
, received a rebound by Gooden.
Of the Cavaliers' two insiders, Ilgauskas is good at protecting backcourt rebounds, while Gooden is used to rush for offensive rebounds. These two have provided James with a lot in previous games.
With help, Gooden seemed to have evaporated in this game. He was good at grabbing rebounds, but Jefferson was even more of a rebounder. He stuck Gooden with his body, preventing him from showing his jumping, and used
He used his excellent wingspan to compete for rebounds. Jefferson was off the court at this time, which made Gooden much happier, but before he could get any joy from grabbing the rebound, the ball was intercepted.
Tony Allen slapped the ball out of Gooden's hand, picked up the ball and threw it to Pierce. Pierce stepped back directly to the three-point line, preparing to shoot a three-pointer. At this time, if Pierce scored another three-pointer,
The Cavaliers were about to fall into the abyss of defeat. James rushed over to block the shot, but he didn't expect Pierce's jump shot. He got up a little and his toes were still stuck to the ground. This was another fake.
In the action, Pierce rushed forward and shot a three-pointer, and then shot after hitting James.
The referee's whistle sounded. James had committed five fouls. At the same time, another bad news came immediately. Before James could turn around, he heard the cheers of the fans in the audience. Pierce's three-pointer was scored! A perfect goal.
3+1!
This goal not only brought the score gap closer to the 30-point mark, but James had already committed 5 fouls. Pierce taught James a good lesson with his slippery style of play. To say that Pierce also started the game with a
Out of anger, James said in an interview before the game that he would defeat Milicic and win the game. Between the lines, he did not take himself as the boss of the Celtics seriously, and Pierce also thought that he was the leader of the Eastern Conference.
As the number one small forward, James turned a blind eye and was clearly provoking, so he really got angry in this game, and in two and a half quarters, he took 25 shots and scored 31 points.
"Oh! This is the truth! This is the truth!" Bill Walton shouted "Thisisthetruth" several times in a row. Although this superstar in his prime is not focused on the spotlight, his strength is really not ordinary.
generation.
Harmon also said: "Celtic jersey numbers 32, 33, and 35 have all been retired here. It seems that number 34 will not be spared if it continues to develop like this. I now have doubts about the future Celtics jersey numbers.
I’m very curious, Milicic has reluctantly chosen the No. 99 jersey, I think they may need to apply for a three-digit jersey number in the future.”
Pierce made a steady penalty in the extra penalty, but when the Cavaliers wanted to make a substitution, James signaled to Silas that he wanted to continue playing. If James left the game again, I'm afraid the Celtics would lose one by one.
He directly took the Cavaliers away. Instead of sitting on the court watching the sky and eating, it was better to take a chance on the court.
The Cavaliers served. James took the ball directly from Snow and brought it from the backcourt to the frontcourt. James dribbled the ball outside the three-point line and made gestures. Rivers shouted: "Be careful with their pick-and-roll."
, Prevent the pick-and-roll!" Ilgauskas really came out to set a pick-and-roll for James. Tony Allen was blocked behind him. At the moment of the change of defense, Mark Blount did not block James' breakthrough angle. James passed the ball to
On the previous play, the short body passed under Blount's armpit and scored with a domineering three-step dunk.
Despite this, Rivers still replaced Pierce in the next offensive possession and replaced him with Darrell Wright. The Cavaliers did not have a stable three-point shooter and were counting on a center like Ilgauskas.
It is unrealistic to score 30 points. With such a big score gap, Rivers is not worried that the team will be reversed. Even if James can catch up with the score of about 10 points, the Celtics will send their main players to the field and the Cavaliers will
There is still no threat to the outcome of this game.
Although James was already working hard, at the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers were still 19 points behind the Celtics. The gap of less than 20 points left a glimmer of hope for the Cavaliers, but this glimmer of hope may not even be possible for the Celtics.
Coach Silas couldn't believe it. Only James himself thought he would complete this perfect counterattack.
