17 at half-time, 3-for-3.
Paul Pierce seems to have really returned to the "night of truth". Facing the seemingly invincible opponent, he burst out with great strength.
There are many different comments about Pierce. It is said that he was underestimated before 2008 and overestimated after 2008. The reason is, after 2008, he is not a superstar, but occasionally in the game against Kobe, James and others, can suddenly burst, so "looks" is very strong.
Not to mention whether Pierce is really overvalued after 2008, but it can at least prove that pierce can often explode in the face of powerful opponents, which is also acknowledged by fans who don''t like him.
In the dressing room, pierce gasped hard. In the first half, it was a big test for Pierce''s fitness to keep attacking efficiency against igordala and Tony Allen.
Doug rivers can do little change, he can only bear to put Garnett into the fifth position, and then replace Durant''s boss in the thunder, Geoff green, to add a scoring point, help pierce share part of the scoring pressure.
"We''re only three points behind. If we play one more round, maybe we can draw directly with the Grizzlies! So, keep going in the second half! This is a competition of perseverance, Celtic never know what to give up! Let''s bite the damn League number one at home and say goodbye to the last three failed away games
After Reeves adjusted his replacement quota, he began to pour chicken soup. Pierce tried to breathe. He didn''t care what Rivers said if he could rest a little longer.
Link''s side, physical condition is very good. In the first half against defensive defender Bradley, link played very relaxed on the defensive end. So now he has enough energy to pester Pierce.
In the first half of the game, they played equally on the offensive end, and Pierce was slightly ahead. But in the second half, link won''t allow that to continue.
He knows that pierce has a great offensive skill, but it''s not without flaws. As long as Pierce is done, the Grizzlies can easily get out of Boston.
Before the game, Pierce said he was the best small forward in the league. Link will show him what the best small forward in this era can do!
"All right, let''s go to the stage. We''re going to play steady, steady our rhythm first. Then, let that group of outmoded guys accept the reality
Stevens waved and the Grizzlies rushed out of the locker room one by one. In the first half, he was only three points ahead of Celtic, which made the Grizzlies very frustrated.
They don''t want to let the game go on like this for a second.
The short intermission is very long for the fans. So when the players from both sides came back on the field, the fans were as excited as they had been waiting for a day.
"The second half of the game began, Celtic team took the lead to make personnel adjustments. Coach Doug rivers replaced Collins, took Jeff Green and put kg in position five. The purpose is very clear, that is to enhance the offensive firepower. "
"This idea is correct, now neither side can defend the other, the score has been rising. If pierce can create opportunities for green and Garnett, I believe Celtic can play a wave of scoring
Pierce waved his arm and moved his muscles. He wasn''t complacent, he knew how difficult it was.
It was 17 at half-time, which looked like a good number. But on the other hand, pierce scored 17 points at half-time and Celtic were still behind, which shows how difficult Celtic are today.
Grizzlies in the second half of the first attack, link rest, the ball was handed to Randolph.
Randolph hit Jeff Green on his back. It wasn''t easy. Jeff Green has been losing a lot on the inside, but since last season green just had heart surgery, you can''t ask too much of him.
Easy, big black bear head into the inside line after the hook score. Green was sent by rivers to get points. Unexpectedly, he took the lead in losing points.
Pierce shook his head, there is no way, even if link does not, Grizzlies have other points. But it doesn''t matter, lost points, and then go to the offensive side to get back! Didn''t they do that all the first half?
The Celtic attack, the fans are excited. Everyone is looking forward to the next performance of truth!
"I said Pierce''s score will be around 40! Count from now on, he''s going to start his own performance Even the commentators on the stage were rubbing their hands.
Pierce, after half-time, began to look for attacking opportunities. But after seeing the man in front of him, the spirit of the green army, who played a brilliant performance in the first half, was stunned for a moment.
At this point, the defense in front of him is no longer igordala or Tony Allen, but link who has been fighting against himself all night!
"Come on, old man, let me feel your feeble attack!" Link said and pasted it directly.Consume pierce as much as possible. That''s link''s strategy!
"Link is facing pierce directly on the defensive end. It seems that the war between them has escalated again!"
Pierce felt a bit of a strain, and before he got the basketball, he felt a bit of a strain.
Link''s defense is not necessarily better than igordala and Tony Allen, but link knows the right medicine and knows to burn Pierce''s strength now. What''s more, Pierce''s attitude toward link must have been different from that of igordala and Tony Allen.
Pierce must have wanted to score more and prove himself when his opponent came to the door. This, more or less, will make pierce irritable.
Pierce was not afraid of link''s challenge. He stuck link with his back in the middle distance. When he got to the position, everyone was staring at them.
Pierce in this game for the first time under the defense of link attack, we all wait and see!
Pierce wants to use his butt to push out space, but link doesn''t flinch. Every time Pierce pushed in, link would carry it down without fear of pain!
After sitting back several times, pierce not only did not push forward, but also consumed a lot of physical strength!
Pierce didn''t want to waste any more, so he turned around and ready to take the shot!
However, just as the spirit of the green army raised the basketball, link''s palms were all over the place!
"Pa!"
Before pierce took off, the basketball was blocked by link! Link''s cover is a light speed response!
"What!? The backward jump shot is blocked directly! " Boston local commentators stood up in surprise. Pierce''s backward jump shot was notoriously hard to block! In the first half, even igordala and Tony Allen didn''t do it!
Stevens clapped his hands off the field. His strategy worked!
Tony Allen and igordala are tough and defensive. But they didn''t have a real sense of Pierce''s attack. After all, they are not offensive players themselves.
But link is different, he knows Pierce in the face of this defense, how to shoot the best way. After all, he himself is an expert on it. So, link''s judgment of Pierce''s attack is actually more accurate than igordala and Tony Allen!
Before pierce could react, link swept past him and picked up the basketball behind him!
Link''s quick attack, only Rondo can keep up with link on the Celtic side. In the end, Rondo had to foul early, giving the Grizzlies a chance to serve the side line.
No way, if you don''t foul ahead of time, link can dunk directly.
"Hey, don''t be surprised. It''s just the beginning." Instead of being upset, link walked up to pierce and began to read.
Pierce bit it. Link may be the first new man in history who doesn''t fall behind when talking rubbish with himself.
Link doesn''t just spray rubbish, he does what he says. He said that just the beginning of the cover, is not a simple harsh words.
In this attack, link wanted the ball actively and wanted to score on Pierce''s head. From attack to defense, link is not going to give pierce a chance to breathe.
Pierce has just experienced link''s tight defense, and then immediately faces the fierce attack like the storm.
Although the second half of the game was just beginning, pierce felt a little overwhelmed.
Link in the outside line left and right hand alternately dribble, this season, link from the outside line to launch the attack more times, this is also the main reason for his transformation.
Durant and George completed the transformation, but also from the ball attack training.
Pierce lowered his center of gravity and tried not to be disturbed. But as link accelerates to the left, pierce follows in a reflexive manner!
Little did not know, link but in the moment of accelerating to the left, he pulled the ball to the right again with one hand!
Pierce knew he should keep up, but his body couldn''t keep up with his thoughts.
"Whoosh!"
Pierce only felt a gust of wind blowing in his ear, and link disappeared from his face.
After breaking to the baseline, link drifted to shoot.
Individual 17 points, link score and pierce equal! At the same time, the Grizzlies will also extend the difference to 5 points, they continue to expand the advantage!
After the second half attack and defense, pierce found himself gasping!
Then, just after Pierce''s half-time, link came up. The wily pierce fell to the ground, and the referee blew link foul.
But link doesn''t care. Anyway, the number of fouls hasn''t arrived. Celtics don''t need free throws, and this is his second personal foul today. It doesn''t matter.
Link just stood in front of Pierce, he just wanted to let pierce know that you are dead in the second half!
Celtic return to the baseline ball ready to attack, but Rondo now can only choose to play with kg pick and roll. Because Pierce, has been forced by link to connect the ball space is not!Link entangled Pierce''s arm directly, and they almost fell into each other''s arms.
In this attack, Rondo finally chose to break the ball to Jeff Green. But green may be just on the court, feeling a little ice, the chance out of the middle shot actually lost.
When you miss the chance to kill a grizzly bear, you have to double your efforts to kill it!
Green missed such an opportunity, and pierce ran madly after link for fear that the boy would fight back.
Little did not know, the Grizzlies this round is slowly after the half court, ready to play position! Pierce found out that the boy was deliberately wasting his strength!
Link, who was originally located at the bottom corner, went back to the top of the arc after Conley approached. Pierce gritted his teeth to keep up, but ran into Randolph, who came to cover him.
As a result, pierce had to push harder from Randolph and reach link.
But when he jumped up, pierce felt that he didn''t even have the strength to take off. Facing link''s three-point jump shot, pierce just stretched out his hand wearily.
Then, watch the basketball fall into the net, Celtics are 8 points behind!
Linkby put three fingers to his head and made a salute to pierce. But pierce knows that it''s not the back that pays homage to the elder, it''s the back digging the grave for the elder.
Boston commentator is still expecting pierce to score 40 points and Celtic fans are expecting pierce to continue to make a comeback.
Pierce also thought so. This time, he did not hesitate to use his physical strength to exceed the three-point line. He caught Rondo''s pass and then made a three-point shot!
In the first half, Pierce was three out of three and thought he felt good.
However, link is the first time to jump to interfere with Pierce''s shooting, coupled with Pierce''s whole body force is not very smooth.
In the end, the three-point shot fell directly into Gasol''s arms.
Three don''t touch!
At that moment, a deep sense of despair enveloped Pierce.
In front of link, the truth may not appear today.
