Chapter 281 Advancing to the Second Round

The players of the Atlanta Hawks returned to Atlanta in a hurry. They wanted to sweep their opponents 4:0 to advance. Unfortunately, the referee's whistle ruined everything.

However, everyone is well aware that this scene must be found.

The NBA also sells tickets, and it doesn't hurt to play one more game when it has nothing to do with the outcome.

The Eagles players were given a gag order in the locker room, so whether it was Woodson who attended the post-match press conference, or the Eagles generals surrounded by reporters on various occasions, they all kept silent about the referee.

Of course, there is an argument that must be affirmed: "We will definitely end this series in G5. This season, we will no longer go abroad."

In contrast, although the Raptors fell behind 1:3, they finally won a victory. They did not mention any promotion to the second round. Their current goal is: "We will strive to bring the game back to Toronto."

Before the start of the game, Ruan Erniu accepted an interview from the imperial court. If there were no accidents, tonight, he would become the first Chinese player to advance to the second round of the NBA playoffs as a main player.

Teacher Zhang Lili came to Atlanta again. He smiled and asked Er Niu some boring questions: "Do you have confidence", "Have you thought about your opponent in the second round", "How do you feel about the playoffs" and so on .

However, it is not without constructive questions, "For example, in the last Raptors game, Bargnani continued to play center and Moon played small forward, but your starting lineup has not changed. In this game, your starting lineup will be change?"

Ruan Erniu nodded and replied: "I'm not the head coach, so I don't know the final starting lineup, but I hope the team will make changes as soon as possible. In fact, we did a good job in G3."

On April 4, US time, everything was as expected.

After G3, the Raptors always put Bargnani in the starting center position, while Jamalio Moon appeared in the starting small forward position.

After Woodson still stubbornly used the original starting lineup in G4, he finally changed his lineup in G5, pushing the eclipse to the 4th position, and making Childress the starting 3rd position.

The key to the tactic named "Eagle Raid" lies in the protection of backboards and the quick switching of offensive and defensive transitions.

Especially when Ruan Erniu was pulled out of the 3-point line by the opposing center, the protection of backcourt rebounds became the top priority of the Eagles.At this point, the lunar eclipse with stronger luck is obviously more suitable than Marvin.

And Marvin in the substitute lineup is also not bad, because he suddenly found that he has more shooting rights, and his efficiency and statistics have quietly increased.

Ruan Erniu and Bosh stood in the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

I don't know if it was Bosh who asked for it on his own initiative, or if the No. [-] pick in Italy was too lazy to fight for the ball. From a visual point of view, the latter is more likely.

Bosh won the jumper, and it went to Anthony Parker, who passed it to TJ Ford.

Ford attacked with the ball, used Bosh's pick-and-roll to reach the inside of the Eagles, avoided the eclipse in the air, and threw the ball to the basket.

The ball spun around the basket twice, and finally missed!

Ruan Erniu got the rebound from the backcourt, quickly dribbled the ball forward, accelerated after a pause, passed the defending Mu En, layup easily, and put the ball into the basket.

This goal also heralds the attitude of the Hawks, and they are ready to let this round of the series end in G5.

The first quarter of the game also roughly became the performance stage for the Eagles. Although they only won by 26 points at 34:8, the Eagles were obviously more proactive in their attitude than in the previous game.

The playoffs cannot be delayed. Once they lose consecutive games, the young Hawks are likely to collapse. In a sense, they are more afraid of failure than the Raptors.

From the beginning of the second quarter, TJ* Ford and Mike Bibby performed against each other. The point guards of the two teams played ANSWERBALL in a row. In the middle of the second quarter, a wave of climax was set off.

Although the scene is very good-looking, the point difference between the two teams has not changed substantially.

At 24:28, the Eagles continued to win by 4 points in the second quarter.

At the end of the halftime game, the battle between the two teams became 50:62, and the Hawks temporarily led by 12 points.

Er Niu's data in the first half was 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. Today, the rookie of the Celestial Dynasty is heading for a triple-double.

You know, on the list of triple-double records in the playoffs, Magic Johnson's record is 30 times.Even if Er Niu can't get a triple-double in the subsequent playoffs.As long as he can guarantee 15 years of his career to enter the playoffs, he is likely to break the magician's record.

Of course, all of this is just an algorithm on paper. The ball is played game by game, and blowing alone is meaningless.

The second half started quickly.In the critical third quarter, the Raptors lost the chain, while the Eagles were in full swing.

Ruan Erniu ushered in an explosion in this quarter.

Facing Bargnani, Bosh, and Nesterovic's successive defenses, he completely knocked his opponents to the ground.

On the defensive end, he sent out big caps and steals one after another.

On the offensive end, Er Niu is a kaleidoscope-like existence, shooting, breaking through, backing up, and passing in seconds.

After the game, even Magic Johnson sent a tweet to congratulate the two bulls. His two nolook passes in the third quarter were indeed quite artistic.

The magician's original sentence is: "There is another magician in Los Angeles."

Jiong Jisen was not to be outdone, and under the cover of Er Niu, he frequently staged wonderful emergency stops and backs, completely shooting his defender into a sieve.

Under the leadership of Erniu and Jiongsen, the Hawks completely opened up the score in the third quarter.

The Eagles scored 36 points in a single quarter, 30 of which were scored by Erniu and Jiongsen.

At 68:98, the Eagles had a 30-point lead after the three quarters, and the fourth quarter entered garbage time ahead of schedule.

The Raptors, belatedly, finally realized that there was only one quarter left in their playoffs.

Under the leadership of Bosh, the Raptors started the final struggle in the last quarter of the game. To be honest, this was just to get a decent way to die.

After all, it's the playoffs, and it's still a strong Eastern Conference, so it's all about face.

Bosh hit consecutive mid-range shots, and Kapono also made consecutive 3-pointers from outside the perimeter. The score was once caught up to within 15 points.

However, at the last minute, Ruan Erniu, Jon Jonson, Mike Bibby and the Big Four of the Hawks of Lunar Eclipse stepped forward at the same time.

They played a series of offensive combinations like mercury pouring down the ground, with Ruan Erniu as the axis, Bibby as the outside support point, Lunar Eclipse and Jon Jonsen actively stretching the space, and the chemical reaction of the Eagles' players broke out in G5. '

Everyone starts to learn to share the ball, and everyone can score easily as their first goal.

The ball is always faster than the person, and the probability of scoring an open space is higher.

At 24:28, the Eagles still did not let go of their opponents in the last quarter and continued to complete the suppression.

At 92:126, the Atlanta Hawks advanced to the second round with a huge advantage of 34 points.

Taking a closer look at the scoring statistics in each quarter, the Eagles won by 8 points, 4 points, 18 points, and 4 points respectively. It can be said that the Raptors were firmly suppressed by the whole game, and finally figured out that they failed to advance in the previous game. bad breath.

Ruan Erniu didn't seem very excited after the game. He shook hands with the Raptors players one by one to say goodbye. Now the Raptors players can really enjoy their vacation. Maybe enjoying it in a nearby nightclub in Atlanta is also a good choice.

In the end, Er Niu walked up to Chris Bosh, and the two embraced each other.

The outcome has been decided. Judging from the current trend of the alliance, there is really no need for the two to continue to be hostile. This is just a job.

"I lied to you, LeBron never told me anything." Er Niu said with a smile.

"Good luck, buddy. I figured it out a long time ago. LeBron won't recruit you in the first place. His true love is D. Wade." Bosh said with a funny exaggerated expression.

"Heroes see the same thing!" Er Niu nodded in full agreement.
