After being fully rested in the second half, the three star players Pierce, Payton, and Jones led the substitute inside power forwards Stillwater and Mark Blount to give the Sonics another blow. Although Mark Blount has average ability, he can also have
He averaged about 10 points per game, and his long-range jump shot was very stable, so he pulled up to a high position and attracted Jerome James. Facing the Sonics' empty interior, Pierce no longer struggled with Lewis on the outside, but instead
He rushed in and constantly used his body to hit hard. Although Lewis was taller than Pierce and was later assigned to the power forward position, his inside skills were not even close to Pierce's. He was beaten several times by Pierce.
indivual.
In terms of offense, Ray Allen struggled to hold on. Eddie Jones couldn't guard against Ray Allen, whose hands were so hot, but he also made a few shots on Ray Allen's head. Basically,
It can be considered that the merits and demerits are equal to each other. Payton, who is full of physical strength, also put enough pressure on Ridnour on the defensive end. Several steals and counterattacks also taught this gold medal point guard of the 2003 golden generation.
Halfway through the third quarter, the Celtics were already leading the SuperSonics by 15 points. Rivers replaced the substitute lineup led by Milicic and Jefferson. Banks had previously played with Payton.
Several rotations were made, so the point guard sent to the court this time was West.
West stepped onto the court with excitement on his face. This guy only has about 10 minutes of playing time in each game now. In the normal rotation, he has the least chance to play. On the one hand, Payton is old and strong, and on the other hand, he has the least chance to play.
On the one hand, Banks' body is definitely a Tyrannosaurus-level among point guards. He is extremely fast and has the physical strength to run all over the court. In comparison, West is a bit lacking in energy at such a young age.
But West is a rookie after all, and his pick in the draft was not high. There is no pressure from the outside world, and he is quite satisfied with the data of 5 points and 1 assist in 10 minutes per game. According to his vision, he will probably be good next year if this continues.
He will have 15 to 20 minutes of playing time. If his life is good after his rookie contract ends, he can still be in the middle class.
West was in a good mood and said to Milicic: "Darko, let's do something exciting later. Look at my eyes. I have to pass a few top ten passes, otherwise people won't remember it."
who I am."
Milicic looked at this guy who became famous in later generations, sighed and said: "I will try my best to cooperate with you, but sometimes being famous is not a good thing, especially don't get entangled with irrelevant women."
After finishing speaking, West looked at Milicic's back, shook his head, and said: "It seems that this guy was really hurt by Natalie. Hey, who doesn't have a handsome face like mine...
…”
West winked at Milicic, then made a reluctant break through and made a reluctant throw towards the basket. When Collison was about to grab a rebound, he saw Milicic bypass him.
In the past, I caught this somewhat short pass in the air and made an alley-oop.
"Can you believe this guy is white? There must be a strong black man living in his body, or this guy has an alien in his body like in the movie "Men in Black". He is the body I have seen
The best white man." Bill Walton exclaimed.
"Is he physically better than Brent Barry, the 'white man can fly'? It seems that there is really no shortage of white people who can fly here in Seattle. Brent Barry just disappeared, and here comes Milli
Sitch taught them a lesson," Jones said.
"Man, they are not players of the same level at all. I say this today not because Rick (Rick Barry, Brent and Joan's father) is not here, but because I feel that Milicic's current achievements are already higher than
Brent, Brent did not use his body well, and after 2000 he transformed into a pure shooter." Belittling outside players and praising non-black inside players has become Bill Walton's
It’s a sign.
After Milicic scored this goal on the field, it was the biggest blow to Nick Collison. Collison was once very popular in college and was even invited to join the Dream Team. In his own opinion,
, maybe LeBron James, the No. 1 high school student in the country, and NCAA champion Carmelo Anthony are better than him. In addition, Chris Bosh, who is also famous in the college arena, is also considered to be of acceptable strength, but Bosh is not a
In the traditional sense, insiders and even power forwards are a bit thin, so Collison felt that if the 2003 generation's strongest center in terms of inside was himself, it turned out that an unknown guy from a small country turned out to be the second best center.
The pick was chosen.
Milicic had performed before, but Collison didn't pay attention to it. He thought it was just a flash in the pan. Until now, Milicic has scored as many as he wanted, and even scored a goal that can enter the top ten.
level alley-oop, Collison clearly realized in his heart that the gap between himself and Milicic may be further than their draft positions.
Although the Celtics replaced most of their main players, the SuperSonics have not given up completely. They still keep their main players on the court to fight. The SuperSonics want to reduce the score to 0 before the end of the third quarter.
Within 10 points, this way the fourth quarter will not become garbage time.
Ray Allen once again met another Allen. This guy is much harder to deal with than Eddie Jones in terms of defense alone. Eddie Jones has a lot of defensive experience and good defensive skills, but his footsteps and
The explosive Ray Allen is very clear, he can know at what distance to shoot Eddie Jones, there is no way, but Tony Allen is just a guy with physical fitness, in the Celtics outside
It's the best. There were several times when Ridnour tried to pass the ball to him but was destroyed by Tony Allen. When Ray Allen shot, Tony Allen was able to block the shot, forcing him to take the shot.
The points become higher and the hit rate becomes unstable.
At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics' lead had reached 20 points. Instead of recovering the score, the exhausted Sonics players lost more points. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Celtics were completely defeated.
After the main players worked together to achieve a small climax, the game went directly into garbage time. The happiest person in the audience was West, who was able to get more playing time than usual.
In the end, the Celtics won the game 103-82. Pierce scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Milicic scored 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists.
