Chapter 312 The situation is not good
One of the most obvious changes in the Celtics today is that Rondo's ball-holding series has increased, and Rondo will resolutely go to the basket after getting the ball and a simple pick-and-roll or screen.

Although the efficiency of his personal offense is still not good this time, he only hit 12 of 3 shots, but he connected the whole team, and his 14 assists also set a new personal record in the playoffs.

In addition to the offensive aspect, the Celtics also did a good job of defending today, especially in cutting off the Magic passing the ball. There were 12 steals in the game, and Rondo alone had 4 times.

In fact, the Magic still took a slight lead in the first half, but the situation changed suddenly in the third quarter, relying on Ray Allen's explosive shots from the outside and super defensive pressure, the Greens beat the Magic in a wave. , Did not slow down until the fourth quarter.

From the perspective of the progress of the game, it can be said that it is a bit similar to the Magic in the third game. They all broke out with a single point three-pointer, but the Magic as a whole was restricted a bit today, and the point difference in the fourth quarter did not catch up. It got bigger and bigger.

When there was still a gap of 3 points in the last 20 minutes, Van Gundy decisively replaced all the main players, which was tantamount to raising the flag in advance.

The Magic only scored 86 points. Li Chengming made 11 of 8, 6 of 4 free throws, 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. It seems that the offensive efficiency is not bad, but on the one hand, he still has 5 turnovers. But on the defensive end, he was stunned by Rondo and Ray Allen's sudden or sudden shots.

Especially when facing Allen, Li Chengming is afraid of the opponent's shooting, and his defensive position is too forward, so he can easily pass him.

But if he didn't get closer, Li Chengming wouldn't be able to interfere with his shots. With Ray Allen's touch today, he would be vacant.

For a star of this level, the explosion is predictable and acceptable, it just depends on whether they are on the right side.

Of course, the biggest problem in this game is not Li Chengming, or in other words, no one on the Magic team is innocent, including head coach Van Gundy.

In the third quarter, when the Green Army was in a wave, it was called a timeout and the reaction was slow. In the fourth quarter, they did not realize the crisis, and they still had a regular rotation. As a result, the Green Army further widened the point difference and lost the possibility of a final comeback.

至于霍华德被砍罚球12中5、刘易斯三分5中0、特科格鲁13中2还有6次失误，以及魔术队全场24中3、其中一个还是李成名命中的3分，就都没什么好说的了。

This game was also like a bucket of cold water, which directly extinguished the atmosphere of "champagne at halftime" on the Magic's side.

The Green Army did not dare to be careless, because for them, it is now a narrow escape.

The Magic are still leading by a big score of 3:1. They will stand on the edge of a cliff in every next game, especially when they have to go back to the home court of the Magic. Being eliminated was in jeopardy, so they didn't want to celebrate.

All members of the Green Army, including the management, also appeared to be very low-key in interviews after the game. They did not relax because of this victory, but said that they still have "one game"-in fact, it means , Treat every next game as the last game, how many games can be played.

On May 5, Game 30 of the Eastern Conference Finals returned to the home court of the Magic.

Before the game, both sides seemed to be very low-key. The Magic team received a big blow when they played. Naturally, there is nothing to say about this game.

Be a little crazy at 3:0, and take it easy at 3:1. When the game is over and you win, then whatever you say is fine.

As for the Green Army, they naturally wouldn't say anything.

At this time, if you say something and get slapped in the face after the game, it will be really uncomfortable if you have to be criticized after being eliminated.

The whole season's struggle is for this moment, and there is no intention to show off any power of words. After all, it will still fall on the game.

As long as they win, there is still a chance to be crazy in the future.

In fact, Li Chengming can keenly feel that the atmosphere in the team is a little bit wrong at this time. This is the impact of being beaten in the last game until now.

After all, they are basically rookies in the playoffs. Seniors like Turkoglu are not very talkative, Lewis is also relatively shy, and Van Gundy's chicken soup ability is really average.

Li Chengming is a rookie, so he has to consider whether he is suspected of stealing the limelight by standing up at this time.

In fact, the best person to speak out at this time is Howard, but it is obviously unreasonable to count on this guy.

And Nelson is suitable to stand up and give a speech, but everyone will listen to the face, whether you have taken it to heart, then you will know it in your heart.

Obviously they are still in a state of leading with a big advantage, but it seems that they are the one behind.

And these problems didn't really explode until the game field.

"This Magic team is not right again, and it is very wrong!"

The CCTV commentary arranged a three-person partnership of Su Qun, Yoga and Yang Yi, and after the first quarter started, although the two sides were playing very seesaw, they felt something was wrong when they watched it.

"The Magic seem to be a little timid, this is obviously their home field..."

Of course, Van Gundy also saw the problem, and shouted on the sidelines to let everyone concentrate and not be distracted, which stabilized the players a little.

But the Green Army seized the opportunity and opened the score all at once.

Until Li Chengming was replaced in 6 minutes, Lewis, who was sleepwalking today, was replaced for a rest. It was difficult for the Chinese and American commentators to comment on him at this time.

Of course, the American side said it more directly: "Rashad's condition was not very good in the two games, and it seems that KG came to pester him today, and the effect can be said to be quite obvious."

I don’t know if it should be said that the Celtics are enlightened. They made the most direct adjustment on the defensive end, which is to let Garnett no longer have to face Li Chengming or Howard directly, but let him face Lewis. and Turkoglu.

Anyway, he can't prevent double-teaming, so it's better to let him relax and pick a soft persimmon.

Lewis can match up, and can even liberate Garnett on the defensive end to a certain extent, allowing him to stay more on offense.

This is also the reason why Garnett scored more and more points in the past two games. Although his biggest advantage is comprehensive offense and defense, he lacks some offensive requirements for players of this level, but he can still stand up if he needs to score. , but at the same time he also needs the help of his teammates to pull him up and give him room to play.

And when Pierce and Ray Allen are not stable, Perkins can't find him on the offensive end, Rondo can't shoot, and role players can't count on it, Garnett is the most stable and most stable in the Celtics at this time. An offensive point to rely on.

That is to say, after he opened it, it affected the defense of the Magic. At the same time, Ray Allen also broke out on the outside line, which further pulled the defense away, fed back to his side, and affected other people, and then it blossomed more. , Let the green army's overall offense open.

This is also the main reason why they were able to win the last game. In fact, their offensive tactics have not changed significantly, and they are still the same old. The difference is that they can score now.

And the Magic's defensive weakness was fully exposed under the opponent's offensive.

Li Chengming couldn't protect him at this time. If he went up, he would be easily fouled. This time, he fouled twice in only 3 minutes, one was to help defend Rondo, and the other was to defend Pierce. It came with the purpose of making a foul.

Regardless of whether it is due to the star whistle or the current general situation that the Green Army is still at a disadvantage, the referee will give face. As for the home game, this is not a big problem, and it is fine to find it elsewhere.

So sometimes looking at the data after the game, it seems that the fouls and free throws seem to be about the same, or even one side is more and the other side is less. field control.

But in real terms, calling a foul is not a big problem, because the action is real, and it can only be said that the pain point was caught by the opponent.

But Li Chengming was troubled by fouls, Lewis was not in good shape, the Magic could only rely on Turkoglu to initiate the offense, and Howard was marked to death and it was not easy to finish, so he fell into an endless loop, which suddenly magnified the Magic crisis.

"I'm afraid this Magic team is really not good. If we can't find a breakthrough point later. It seems that the Celtics have found a direction on how to target the Magic starting from the third quarter of the game."
