Milicic was not able to break his own data record. He was replaced by Rivers 2 minutes after coming on in the second half. After all, there was no need to torture the Pacers anymore. Milicic enjoyed the star players.
His treatment was put off the court and teased with Pierce, Payton and others.
Normally, the trailing side puts on its substitute lineup to show surrender, and the winning side also puts on its substitute lineup, and both sides play garbage time. But this game is quite special. Carlisle felt like surrendering after the first quarter.
I mean, but I couldn't afford to lose face, so I had to hold on. But in the second quarter, our own players were not only lacking in strength, but also using up too much energy. Carlisle had to surrender, but at this time he thought about it.
One thing was that there were only 6 people in his team. Even if he wanted to be a full substitute, he didn't have the sincerity of that number, so he had to hold on. Carlisle pretended to be calm and sat on the sidelines, as if he had a plan in mind.
Over there, Milicic scored two more points on Harrison's head. Rivers looked at Carlisle over there, who was still calm and calm, as if the mountain was collapsing like a breeze blowing in his face. Rivers thought to himself:
This guy has such a good psychological quality. Maybe he has some weird tricks up his sleeve and I have to defeat him.
It wasn't until about 2 minutes into the second half that Crosier suddenly cramped when facing Milicic's running basket. The ball went directly to Milicic's raised hand. Milicic grabbed the ball with both hands, a little surprised.
He asked Al Jefferson next to him: "Is this shot considered a block? This game has somewhat subverted my previous concepts."
Crohill's physical fitness is average, and he has never played a game continuously for more than 20 minutes without rest. He thought he would save some energy and attack the opponent a little lightly. Anyway, the Pacers will lose this game.
Yes, everyone just looks good on the surface, but I didn’t expect that the Celtics’ inside combination of Milicic and Al Jefferson really didn’t understand the rules. Not only did they not slack off at all, they actually worked harder than usual.
Rohier was slapped into the audience by Al Jefferson for a layup. When he was grabbing a second rebound, he was directly knocked to the ground during a confrontation with Milicic. Milicic was knocked to the ground in the first half.
Scoring 21 points is certainly great, but Al Jefferson is even more powerful. He got 18 rebounds in the first half, including 9 offensive rebounds. At the beginning, Harrison and Crohill also
Fighting with a sense of ownership, especially David Harrison had a separate conversation with Carlisle before the game. Carlisle said that now that he is the backbone of the team, he has to withstand more pressure and challenges.
David Harrison was full of ambition to take down Milicic and Al Jefferson, but later found out that this was completely wishful thinking. These two buddies were scoring points on themselves when they were playing chicken blood.
They didn't give them any chance when they were on defense. Not to mention the two of them, even Mark Blount on the bench was hard to deal with. It seemed that what Carlisle said before about the long way to go was really not a lie. It was really hard to do!
Crohill's cramps reminded Rivers, why did he forget about this? There is no substitute for the opponent. We can't do things too much, and we can't gouge our eyes when we are joking. Then we quickly put Milisi out.
Qi and Al Jefferson were replaced, which made the Celtics' weak outside players very happy. The Celtics played a big lineup with four small ones. West and Banks
Also on the court, Mark Blount was the only big man left on the court.
Rivers originally thought that this lineup gave the Pacers a chance, but the physical strength of the Pacers' main lineup had been almost exhausted. Now they sent a smaller lineup with faster offense and defense. Wei Wei
Sturt's physical fitness is not weak among point guards, Darrell Wright is even more capable of running and jumping, and Banks and Tony Allen are considered top players in the positions they play.
Top-notch physical fitness, and such a bunch of live treasures coming up, this makes the five Pacers players on the court want to die.
West missed a three-pointer, and Wright grabbed a rebound and dunked. Harrison stood aside helplessly.
Banks broke through Gill and rushed into the paint. He missed the layup because he was too fast. Tony Allen behind him followed up and scored with a make-up dunk, but Crohill just defended with his eyes.
Scores like this made the Pacers helpless. Many times if David Harrison was full of energy, he could have blocked the shot, but this hard-working brother really had no energy. In the first half,
Milicic used him for half-time practice. Almost every attack required him to shake Harrison and jump a few times before he was satisfied. By this time, Harrison had already collapsed, thinking that this team's internal pillar is really the backbone of the team.
It's not easy to do, it's just a cheating job.
The commentator on the sidelines didn't know what to say. He simply repeated: "Go in, the ball goes in again, this time it's a windmill dunk, there are some new ideas..."
The referee did not want to interrupt the game. Some slight physical contact no longer called fouls. The fans also felt that the goal was too simple and boring. It was really not worth watching. Even Kyle
When the players of the Special Team went to take free throws, they were unwilling to make any noise to interfere. Some of the spectators who were still concerned had already left the game. Watching such a game is really not as fun as shooting two baskets in the back garden.
.
In the end, the Celtics won the game 145-83. Darrell Wright made 6 of 11 three-pointers and scored a game-high 24 points. The Celtics team
8 people scored in double figures, 5 people scored over 20, but this game did not cause any sensation. After all, with a lineup like the Pacers, almost any team above the mid-level can score such a score. If it were crazy,
The offensive Mavericks may score more than 160 points.
After the game, Rivers shook hands with Carlisle apologetically, and Milicic also went up to chat with David Harrison. Fortunately, this brother almost no longer has the energy to be angry, and a rookie in the NBA also
I have no right to complain. In any case, Harrison also scored 11 points and 6 rebounds in this game, which has broken the career record. To a certain extent, he is also the winner of the game, but the winning scene
Very embarrassing.
A few years later, when David Harrison was prospering in the CBA, he was asked about his first career start against Milicic. Harrison scratched his head and smiled: "He is the best player in the NBA right now.
center, I am the best center in the CBA now. This is the reality and a true portrayal of the gap between us."
