Pierce finally used his body to squeeze Bowen away, and after receiving Payton's pass, he hit a mid-range shot. It took three attacks to hit the ball. Bowen has the ability to turn All-Stars into stars and beat men up.
As a woman (a fatal blow to Nash's vital parts), Pierce is fortunate that he is strong and healthy but tends to lean more on the floor, otherwise he would be in danger of spraining his feet.
Pierce worked hard to make a shot, but looking back, Duncan responded with 2 points after picking up the ball with Parker at a 45-degree angle and hitting a rebound shot.
After several rounds of back and forth, although the Spurs did not hit a climax, they were already 16-8 leading the Celtics by 8 points even in a tepid situation. Rivers could not sit still and quickly called a timeout.
"Darko, you need to do more in this game. When Paul encounters the opponent's tight defense, you should contribute. Go inside to disrupt their defense and cause damage!"
The Spurs relied on the two strikers Bowen and Duncan to suppress the Celtics' offense. Milicic under Nesterovich's defense had relatively more opportunities. Since David Robinson retired, the Spurs
It is also an indisputable fact that we have never found a suitable inside player.
"Have you seen that the Celtics' main attack point has shifted to the inside, giving it to Milicic? I knew it would be like this. That kid has offensive talent. He will eat Ness like breakfast.
Trovic ate it." Barkley didn't like the Spurs' dull games, so he finally got the chance to watch the excitement, so he was naturally a little excited.
"Nestrovic's height and weight don't seem to be inferior to Milicic's, and don't forget, the Spurs' insiders are not just Nesterovic alone, but Duncan is also in charge! Charles,
What do you think is the key to victory for the Celtics in this game?" Kenny Smith did not miss this opportunity to refute Barkley, and the bickering between the two has always been one of the gimmicks of the TNT television commentary.
"Have we talked about such a test of skill? Well, Professor Charles wants to tell you that the key to the Celtics' victory is: first, Pierce breaks through the defense of the bad guy Bruce Bowen; second, someone can contain him
Parker’s speed; three, praying Tim Duncan comes off the field…”
Before Barkley could finish his words, the whole place became agitated, and Duncan fell to the ground with a look of pain on his face.
"Charles, you are so amazing. A mouth that has kissed a donkey's butt has incredible power." Kenny Smith did not forget to joke at this time.
The big screen looked back at the footage of why Duncan fell to the ground just now. Milicic was seen receiving the ball on the right side of the paint area, with his back leaning against Nesterovich, testing the ball, and moving his body to the right, that is, to the outside.
After shaking for a moment, he immediately turned to the left to break through the paint area. This action deceived most of the people on the field, but it did not deceive the defensive master Tim Duncan. At the moment he was about to start, Duncan dropped the ball.
Al Jefferson, who was originally defending himself, blocked Milicic's breakthrough path. Milicic turned around and swung his elbow and hit Duncan on the head. It hit the eyebrow bone and opened a hole. Duncan
Lying on the ground with blood on his face, the team doctor came up and asked Duncan about the numbers he saw. It was obvious that Duncan's IQ at this time was basically unable to see the watch clearly. The numbers he gave could not satisfy the team doctor.
Duncan was carried off the field.
Although the fans in the audience booed Milicic, the Spurs, a well-trained team, did not show any intention of starting a fight, and Milicic had no intention of doing so. In the eyes of Uncle Bao,
He could see it most clearly. He thought that if Milicic's ball was intentional, his right knee should have hit Duncan's leg joint from the side, causing him to perform a kneel.
Although the fans reacted fiercely, the referee repeatedly watched the video and determined that Milicic's goal was not intentional and could only be called an offensive foul. The Spurs had no choice but to replace veteran Horry, although it was just a substitution.
It was just one person, but the Spurs' strength immediately dropped a lot. Not only did they lose a stable attack point, but it also caused loopholes in the originally impeccable defense.
"You are the lucky star of the Celtics. You took out Tim as soon as you made a move!" Pierce couldn't hide his excitement. He went over and knocked Milicic's chest hard. Payton also curled his mouth and said:
"This kid is much more ruthless than Bowen. Bowen was just making a small fuss, but you sent him directly back to the locker room."
After Duncan left, the Spurs' offensive and defensive strength declined. More importantly, everyone lost their backbone. At this time, Parker and Ginobili were not as famous as they were later. Ginobili was supposed to shine in the Olympics.
The opportunity was also deprived by Milicic. The Spurs did not have Duncan, and everyone seemed to be a little uneasy.
On the other hand, the Celtics, because of Duncan's end, gave everyone full confidence in this game. Even Pierce became more comfortable playing Bowen. Bowen's single defense ability is certainly very strong, but anyone
I dare not say that I can guard the opponent's star players' breakthroughs and shots. Bowen's tactic just now was to prevent Pierce from shooting and give him a baseline path. After the breakthrough, he would encounter Duncan's blocker. But now
With Duncan gone, neither the aging Horry nor the slow-moving Nesterovich can do this. Bowen defends at a distance, and Pierce has another good shot.
Because of Duncan's dismissal, the Celtics launched a counterattack climax. At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics had overtaken the score 28-26, allowing the opponent to score 28 points in one quarter.
, this is obviously not the Spurs' true strength.
News came out during the quarter that Duncan was initially diagnosed with a mild concussion. Although the problem is not serious, there is no way to participate in this game. There is no need for the core of the team to participate with injuries just because of an insignificant regular season.
Competition, if there is such a thing, it must be a product of the ideological and moral textbooks produced by the People's Education Bureau.
Without Duncan in this game, the Spurs did not play their usual tactics. Parker just broke through and attacked. The Celtics sent Banks and West to take turns to consume his energy. Ginobili
Over there, they used defensive gatekeeper Tony Allen to match him. Milicic and Al Jefferson inside were having a great time, and Eddie Jones and Payton also led the second team.
Continue to beat the Spurs.
The Celtics won the final game with a score of 108 to 97. Pierce scored a game-high 32 points, while Milicic scored 19 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. Al Jafer
Sen also had a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds.
