Chapter 774 Unintentional Psychological Tactics

2:2，当大比分再次打平时，鹰队和凯尔特人队又一次回到了同一起跑线，只是这一次两队的从原来的7局4胜制变成了3局2胜制。

It is easy to draw an objective comparison of the situation, but the specific media evaluation is completely different.

The various media have learned the lessons of G2, and they did not overwhelmingly praise the greatness of the Green Army, but it is clear that the two sides are in similar situations, and most people are still more optimistic about the Green Army's reversal and advancement.

The tenacious style of the Celtics in this round of the series has indeed moved many fans and professional media people.

The performance of the Big Three of the Green Kais has been ups and downs. Strictly speaking, the Eagles have successfully defended them, but the performance of the role players of the Green Army has exceeded people's expectations.

Rasheed Wallace, Tony Allen and even Nate Robinson were able to score 29 points in a single game even if "Lon didn't shoot". The resilience of this team is really not annoying.

Not only did the 75-win team not complete the sweep of 12 consecutive victories in the playoffs like last season, but was held back by the Celtics in the second round of the playoffs, which was beyond the expectations of many experts.

The current mainstream argument is that the Eagles and the Celtics have to reach at least the tiebreaker to decide the winner, and in any case, the Celtics are the more respected side, because the weak can counterattack the strong, which has always been inspirational s story.

The Eagles are in big trouble. When the Celtics continue to have role players who stand up to take over the game, not only are the various media ridiculing them, but even they themselves have shaken the series.

"Mike, what we need most now is not training, but to relax ourselves. The team members are too tense." At Logan International Airport in Boston, Ruan Erniu went to the egg head in private and clarified his opinion in time.

Woodson tightened his suit and tie, and asked: "Kraft, where do you think we lost? Is there a problem with my defensive arrangement, or is the Celtics really doing better than us? Or It is said that their strength is better than ours..."

"Shut up!" Ruan Erniu yelled at Woodson in a low voice. He was afraid that his teammates not far away would hear the conflict between the team leader and the head coach, but the situation is really bad now, because even eggheads are produced. shake.

Ruan Erniu suppressed his anger and said, "Mike, you are our head coach. If your teammates see you in this state, what will they think?"

Woodson quickly came to his senses and adjusted his emotions. He patted Er Niu on the shoulder and said, "Kafu, you are right. At this time, we can't mess around. Tell us your opinion!"

"Let everyone relax for a day, I would rather get together to play poker for half a day than discuss basketball.

I think we lost not so much to our opponents as to ourselves. We cared too much about winning and losing, but we suddenly failed to perform at our own level. "Ruan Erniu said directly.

"Do you think we didn't show our strength?" Woodson said looking at Ruan Erniu.

"Did our performance in the third quarter of G2 not look like shit, or did G4 focus on defending Green Kai in the first quarter? Or is it normal for Rajon Rondo to score 16 free throws in a single game?" Ruan Erniu asked asked once.

Woodson was deep in thought, Kraft had something to say, and it was not unreasonable.

After all, although G2 failed to defend Rasheed Wallace, the Hawks' offense in the third quarter was indeed too bad, and it was not surprising that they were taken away by the opponent.

As for the past G4, there were also a lot of accidental factors. Rondo played super-level, the referees were strong, and the Hawks had some habitual waves. All kinds of reasons combined to cause the loss.

"Okay! It's time for us to board the plane!" Ruan Erniu smiled at Woodson, and then pulled the head coach to follow the big team.

……

"What? Playing cards? Watching a movie? Are-you-kidding-me?" Jon Jonson asked puzzled.

"That's right, don't do anything, let everyone relax!" Woodson said very calmly: "This is the collective opinion of the coaching staff. You can do whatever you want, provided that you will neither violate the laws of the United States nor It will affect your health."

Lunar Eclipse said in disbelief: "Shouldn't it be time to explain how to deal with Rondo or Wallace?"

Goran Dragic took the initiative to stand up and said: "In G4, I put too little pressure on Rondo's defensive end. In the next game, I will better limit him on the defensive end. He has no long-range ability , as long as he is not given the space to attack, I think I can restrain him."

Ruan Erniu reminded Zhuoji: "Dragon Ball, you forgot Mike's order again. He said that basketball is not allowed to be discussed anymore today."

Woodson then said: "Since it is your free activity, I will not participate in it, you can figure it out for yourself."

Egghead turned around and left after speaking, leaving behind a group of Eagles players who were still in a state of confusion in the stadium.

"Would you like to go to the club?" Lunar Eclipse suggested.

Not to mention useless, he said that the club has colors.

"If you don't want to be photographed by reporters and ridiculed in various ways, you might as well take a risk." Jiongsen said with a curled lip.

Ruan Erniu suggested at this time: "Why don't we go to a picnic together? The weather is so good, it's really boring to just train in the gymnasium!"

Er Niu's proposal was approved by most people. Many middle-class families in the United States like to set up shelves in their backyards and have some BBQ or something, so everyone quickly went to a public house in the North District of Atlanta. Lawn, start Eagles first cookout plan.

Corn, potatoes, bread, and grilled fish, although the incident happened suddenly, for a group of rich people, the food for the picnic is just a problem that can be solved by going to the supermarket.

Everyone of these millionaires has a car, and it is still during the playoffs, so their group outing naturally attracted the attention of the media immediately.

So much so that before everyone cooked the food, they started a press conference in chat mode at the picnic site.

Chief press spokesman Ruan Erniu naturally became the focus of media attention.

"We're just here for a picnic, so I don't think there's any need for too much reaction.

playoffs?certainly!We're not worried about the game, and I don't think the Celtics are better than us.

Hey man, there's always going to be losses, but we're confident in the series. "

The generals of the Eagles still had doubts about the future game, but Er Niu uttered his big words in front of everyone, and everyone settled down instead.

Anyway, we have to fight a few times with Lukai, the boss is so confident, we can't be cowardly.

This is how people are. As long as the pressure exceeds the threshold and the spirit does not fall into madness, the mind will naturally calm down.

There are always more solutions than difficulties, and this is what makes people strong.

What's more, for the current Atlanta Hawks, the so-called bad news is the attitude of various media. From the actual situation, they are just a tie with the Green Army, and there is no need to carry such a heavy burden. Heart burden.

The picnic went on until the sun went down. Everyone in the Eagles relaxed their minds and spent the day happily, leaving the Celtics, playoffs, and basketball aside.

When everyone went home, there was only one thing on their minds, to get a good night's sleep and recharge their batteries for tomorrow's G5.

The Eagles put down their burdens, but the Celtics, who got news of the Eagles' collective picnic from the Internet and the media, became suspicious.

"What? Didn't practice the ball, but went to a picnic together?"

"Is it broken by us? Or is there something behind?"

"Are they studying some secret tactics?"

"Or are they just engaging in psychological warfare?"

……

It is also possible to bluff people to death, otherwise He Jinyin, who has only practiced Golden Snake Tangzhangshou and Invincible Hot Wheels from beginning to end, would not be able to defeat Master Duan Shui Liu.

Even the big brother who shouted "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, I mean everyone sitting here is happy" was made suspicious by a stinky dick, let alone the 75-win Atlanta Hawks.

Tom Thibodeau suddenly felt a little bad, but in his thinking logic, he couldn't imagine what was wrong. The Celtics really poured too much revenge on the Eagles. But it also made the Celtics pay too much attention to the Hawks' movements.

Unintentionally, Ruan Erniu just wanted to adjust the state of his teammates, but it undoubtedly affected the opponent's mentality.

On May 2010, 5, US time, the Eagles once again ushered in the Celtics at the Philips Center.

In G5, for both sides, there are no secrets in the lineup. The team that can win must be the team with better performance on the spot.

It can be seen from the large number of camera shots at the scene that G5, as the battle of Tianwangshan between the two teams, is indeed the focus of attention of various media.

"Dad, kill the Celtics, we're here to see you win!" Tonight, Han Meimei and Eddie also came to the scene to cheer for the two bulls.

"No problem, Eddie, trust me, I'll kill them soon." In the player tunnel, Er Niu knelt down and touched his daughter's head and said.

"I'm going!" Er Niu said to Dr. Han.

"You have never let me down, and tonight is no exception." Han Meimei gave Er Niu a victory kiss, "I hope you end this series in the next two games, and then go home quickly, understand ?"

What Ms. Mary*Han said immediately made Er Niu shudder happily. To be honest, the two had an agreement during the playoffs that they would sleep in separate rooms, but Dr. Han's pun made Er Niu feel uncomfortable. Niu suddenly became excited, and there was a tacit understanding that only lovers could understand.

The high-spirited Tianchaoren said goodbye to his wife and daughter, gathered all his teammates together on the side of the player tunnel, and formed a circle.

"Don't worry about the bullshit media rumors, only our own performance decides the game. Remember, we are the best team in NBA history. No one can compare with us!" Ruan Erniu clenched his right fist and held it up high. , and shouted: "HAWKS!"

"HAWKS!"

"HAWKS!"

"HAWKS!"

……

The game started in a hustle and bustle. Erniu once again defeated Garnett in the jump ball. Height was not the only decisive factor. Erniu's bounce speed was far higher than that of the aging KG.

Dragic dribbled the ball up the frontcourt, and Rondo pounced on him immediately.

Ray Allen ran out from the baseline with the help of Perkins' cover, and immediately chose to pull out the shot when he received a pass from Rondo on the wing.

Jiong Jisen's pounce was not too slow, but it could only block Ray Allen's eyes.

"boom!"

The ball misses.

Er Niu took the rebound in the backcourt and immediately started the bull sprint to the frontcourt.

Perkins was still in the backcourt, and Garnett had to go up the block.

Hit the ground!

Crotch crossing!

The ball flew between Garnett's feet, the height was not low, but it happened to hit KG by surprise.

Well, that's not the point, the point is that this cold swishing basketball flew into the hands of Lunar Eclipse under the cut basket, and there was no defender around him at all.

It's show time!

Lunar Eclipse jumped high, stretched his belly in the air, and pulled his whole body into a bow shape. Then, with all his strength, he dunked the basketball heavily into the basket.

"boom!"

Lunar Eclipse and Er Niu opened their arms at the same time, lowered their center of gravity, and flew back to their own half like two low-flying jet planes.

The Celtics' offensive end is almost the same offensive routine, but this time after Ray Allen received the ball, he did not jump the ball directly, but chose to wipe it into the penalty area. After attracting the defensive attention of the Eagles, he chose to pass Pass back to Garnett in the high post...

"Snapped!"

Dragic's judgment was quite accurate. He cut off Allen's pass, took the ball off immediately, and immediately turned around and took the ball to the Celtics' half.

The only defender in front of him was Rajon Rondo, and Rondo waved his long arms trying to delay the claw machine's attack.

However, the Slovenian still went all the way to Lukay's basket.

Pause, feint, close confrontation, shot.

"Beep!", "Swipe!"

The referee's whistle sounded first, and then Dragic's shot was made!

2+1.

Claw Machine played the ball smartly and toughly, and his golf intelligence was fully displayed in the fast-changing fast break.

Basketball is a sport that ebbs and flows. On the one hand, Claw Machine puts pressure on Rondo on the defensive end, and on the other hand, he must continue to create troubles for C. Duo on the offensive end.

The claw machine then hit and added a penalty, further expanding the lead.

In the next few minutes after the opening, the Eagles played a wave of 15:0 offensive climax by virtue of their extremely efficient defense and offensive and defensive transition rhythm.

Thibodeau called a short timeout at 9:0, but after that, the Hawks scored 6 points in a row, forcing the head coach of the Green Kai to call a timeout again within 1 minute.

Continuously stopping the Celtics immediately restored the confidence of the Hawks.

The Celtics became more suspicious. Did the Hawks really find their weakness?Or is it true that the Atlanta people did not show [-]% strength in the first few games?

In the first quarter of G5, the Celtics played quite hesitantly on the scene, and they could hardly see their active side in G4.

Thibodeau is not a fairy, and it is impossible for the Green Kai players to find the game state in an instant. This is what the players need to adjust and find.

At 20:33, the Hawks led their opponents by 13 points in the first quarter, sweeping away the G4 loss to their opponents.

As for the Celestial Dynasty, the Imperial TV Station also broadcast the game live tonight, and the commentators were Yu Jia and Zhang Lili.

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Before the game started, many Hawks fans were worried about whether the home team could get out of G4. Now it seems that the Celtics' performance is a bit abnormal."

Zhang Lili also said: "Yes, the series is composed of 7 games, so there may be ups and downs on both sides. Maybe you play well today, and he will play well tomorrow, but when it comes to specific games In the middle, it still depends on how the head coach and players adjust.

I think the Celtics will definitely counterattack in the following games. "

Yu Jia asked: "Then what do you think of Ruan Erniu's performance tonight?"

Zhang Lili said: "Ruan Erniu has not shown his full state in the first quarter. He is the kind of super player who can instantly change the course of the game with his personal ability. I believe that the next three quarters will become more exciting."

The game in the second quarter started quickly, and Ray Allen, who was replaced by the Celtics in the second half of the first quarter, started the game in the second quarter.

As soon as he came on the court, Allen hit two three-pointers in a row against Crawford, instantly helping the Greens shorten the point difference to single digits.

In the next few minutes of rotation, Ray Allen was basically doing it alone, but another Allen of the Celtics—Tony Allen became a surprise, while restricting Jamal Crawford. , Tony Allen made some gains on the offensive end, hitting a layup and a mid-range shot.

After the panic in the first quarter, the Celtics finally calmed down. No matter how the Eagles played, they put themselves in the position of the Avengers. Only victory is their unshakable belief.

Fortunately, it is not that no one on the Hawks side stood up. Veteran Mike Bibby did not disappoint Woodson's trust. After hitting a three-pointer, Bibby made two breakthroughs with slow speed but good rhythm and succeeded. After scoring points, even if he couldn't directly attack the basket, the White Devil used his seasoned experience to get a free throw opportunity.

For a really intense game, any point is something that must be chased desperately.

The two sides quickly entered the rotation period of the main players. Er Niu, Jon Jonson VS Pierce, and Garnett played again. Both sides played well, but neither side had an absolute advantage.

Needless to say Er Niu and Garnett had a passionate exchange, even the always calm Jiong Jiong had a quarrel with Pierce, and the two almost fought because of it. After eating a T each, they settled down.

At 30:25, with Ray Allen's advantage at the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics recovered 5 points in a single quarter.

At 50:58, halftime ended, and the Hawks ended the first half with an 8-point lead.

This is a game where neither side has a way out. Whoever wins G5 will be the first to get the match point.

Woodson said in an interview during the intermission: "We didn't make too many adjustments before the game, because we always believed that we would win the game in the end."
