Chapter 251 Sweep
The day after the Celtics ended Game 101, the Lakers defeated the Spurs again 71:2 at home, taking a 0-[-] lead in the Western Conference Finals.

新的“科奥组合”共得了42分，科比.布莱恩特得了22分、5个篮板和5次助攻，拉马尔.奥多姆20分12个篮板。德雷克.费舍尔得了11分，乔丹.法马尔14分。

The Spurs shot only 34 percent from the field.Tony Parker scored the highest with 13 points, Tim Duncan scored 12 points and 16 rebounds, and the others failed to reach double digits.

"Welcome back man, I thought you wouldn't be leaving with us this time."

When the team assembled, as soon as Shi Lei arrived, he was warmly welcomed by his teammates like a hero.

The Celtics have always exaggerated Shi Lei's injury to the outside world. On the one hand, it is good for Shi Lei's publicity, and on the other hand, it disrupts the Pistons' tactical arrangements.Internally, not everyone is clear, such as Rondo who said this.

To be precise, the only ones who know the exact condition of Shi Lei's injury are the team executives, the coaching staff and the "Big Three".

"How come, the people of Detroit are still waiting for me."

"But you won't have a chance to play, boy, heal your injury!"

Letting a "rookie" play with an injury and "save the team" is undoubtedly a humiliation to the "Big Three" who aspire to win the championship. How can they let the same thing happen again?In this regard, each of them was holding a fire in their hearts.

This fire was lit in Detroit.

At the beginning, the Celtics played an 11-0 attack wave. Pierce and Perkins started with dunks. Garnett and Rondo also succeeded one after another. The five players who started the game all scored.The Pistons scored a breakthrough from Wallace 3 minutes into the game.

Being suppressed by the opponent at the beginning, the Pistons had no home posture at all. They only made 20 of 6 shots in the first quarter and trailed by 17:25.

In the second quarter, the Pistons still failed to find the feeling. The second round of the game seemed to overdraw their shooting touch, and the gap between the two sides widened.

With 6 minutes and 49 seconds left in this section, after Maxiel made a goal, the Pistons chased the score to 27:33, but this was the smallest gap between the two teams since then. The Pistons failed to make a goal within 4 minutes. The Celtics played a wave of 12:1 under the leadership of Garnett, and achieved a 45-point advantage with 28:17 in one fell swoop.

Garnett scored 10 points in this quarter, fulfilling his promise to Shi Lei before the game, helping the Celtics lead 50:32 at the end of the first half, and did not give Shi Lei a chance to "save the team".

But Garnett's performance was not over yet. At the beginning of the third quarter, Garnett made a mid-range shot and the Celtics gained a 20-point advantage.Hamilton led the Pistons to counterattack and narrowed the gap several times. With 6 minutes and 51 seconds left in this quarter, after Hamilton made two shots, the Pistons chased the score to 43-56.However, Garnett succeeded one after another, and the Celtics opened the gap again with 12:2 after 68:45.

The Celtics led by 24 points at one point, and after three quarters they had a 73:55 advantage.

When the main force performed poorly, Stuckey, who performed well in the last game, became the Pistons surprise player. Under his impact in the fourth quarter, the Pistons narrowed the gap several times and maintained a glimmer of life.

With 7 minutes and 45 seconds left in the game, after Stuckey made two free throws, the Pistons trailed only 67:80.However, Ray Allen, who was in a sluggish state before, made a key three-pointer, and the Celtics opened the score again.

In the end, the Celtics defeated the Pistons 94:80 away, leading 3:0 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Obtaining a big score advantage of 3:0 almost doomed the Celtics to advance to the Finals, which made the "Big Three" feel good, and Garnett even shouted "sweep" in front of the media.

Even though he didn't appear in this match, Shi Lei still couldn't keep himself out of the matter once the match was over. He, who is the most popular right now, is still the key interviewee of the media.

"Yeah, winning is never about one person, but with Paul, Kevin and Ray, it's a lot easier. I'm not here because the team needs me, but because we don't have fans here. You know , a show that no one appreciates is pretty bad."

Not long after the game between the Pistons and the Celtics ended, the big score in the Western Conference Finals was rewritten again. After returning to their home court, the veteran Spurs defeated the Lakers 103:84 and tied the big score of the two sides to 1: 2.

In the last round of the playoffs, the Spurs had reversed the Hornets when they were behind 0:2. Whether they can reverse this time, just like Shi Lei, and whether the Celtics can sweep, is a matter of succession. The main content of the media reports in the next few days.

As for the Pistons, this civilian team, without the support of victory, no media is willing to pay attention to them.

This itself is an unequal game, no matter in terms of media attention or team staffing.

In this case, the fourth game of the Pistons aimed at defending their home honors began.

At this time, even the vast majority of the Pistons players no longer think that they still have a chance to enter the finals. They are now only fighting for their home honors.

This is the closest the Celtics have come to the finals in the past 21 years. Leaving aside others, Pierce, who has always been the soul of this team, has long been unable to calm the trembling in his heart. Before the start of the game, he ordered With the "must kill order", he is no longer willing to leave the suspense until the next game, even if it will be at his home court.

One side was outraged, and the other side was desperate. Once the game started, the intensity was suffocating.

The Celtics were threatening, and Ray Allen also found the feeling. He made a three-pointer shortly after the opening, and the Celtics started with 10:5.

The Pistons felt better from the perimeter. They made 6 of 4 three-pointers in the first quarter, and Wallace made 3 of them alone. He scored 9 points in a single quarter. Well, he is not from the perimeter!

After the first quarter, the Pistons tied the score at 23:23.

The Pistons took a 33:25 lead shortly after the start of the second quarter, and Rivers replaced Shi Lei.

The Pistons arranged strict precautionary measures for Shi Lei. Although the injury had almost healed, once he exerted too much force, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Shi Lei didn't force it, and put his mind on organizing the team's offense.

Under the threat of his breakthrough, he assisted Rondo and Garnett consecutively to score, narrowing the point difference to four points.

After that, Garnett found a sense of offense and made frequent hits. When the Pistons began to focus on the defense of the inside, Shi Lei distributed the ball to the outside.With a little more than 3 minutes left in this quarter, Ray Allen hit two consecutive three-pointers, and the Celtics overtook the score 44:42.

The Pistons failed to make a goal in as long as 4 minutes. After the Celtics played a wave of 14:1, they gained a 7-point advantage.The Celtics led 52:46 in the first half. Garnett scored 11 points in this quarter. Shi Lei broke through and scored two points. He made two free throws and sent four assists.

In the third quarter, the Celtics' offensive momentum continued to widen the gap.The Pistons also changed from normal and entered the attack rhythm again, but lost the suddenness, which did not cause so much damage to the Celtics' defense in the second game.

本节还有4分12秒时，加内特中投命中后，凯尔特人以73：56领先了17分。

Except for Shi Lei, the Celtics did not score from the bench in the first three quarters, but the starting players played well. In addition to the "Big Three", Perkins also emerged as a new force. He scored 18 points and 16 rebounds in the first three quarters, just like the performance of a first-class center.

After three quarters, the Celtics led 84:71.

But the downturn of the bench finally became a hidden danger for the Celtics' victory. At the beginning of the fourth game, the main players took a rest, and the Pistons began to counterattack.

The Pistons started the fourth quarter with 14:7. Shi Lei's consecutive breakthrough points did not help the team stabilize the situation. After Billups made a three-pointer for the Pistons, the gap was narrowed to 4 points.

At the critical moment, Rivers called a timeout, replaced the sluggish Cassel and Bryant, replaced the young and durable Rondo, and Garnett, the mainstay of the inside.

After the timeout, Rivers' substitution played a role. Shi Lei first assisted Rondo to break through and score, then Garnett made two free throws, and the Celtics regained an 8-point advantage.

The Pistons, who had no way out, continued their crazy counterattack. After the Celtics reconfirmed their lead, Stuckey, who replaced him, hit a three-pointer, which opened up another round of offensive frenzy for the Pistons.

In this series, the Pistons' offensive ability has exploded.

When the game was about to end in less than 2 minutes, the point difference between the two sides was once narrowed to three points. After two consecutive timeouts, Ray Allen made the most critical goal of the game. Kyle The Specialists regained a 6-point advantage.

After Billups missed a layup, Garnett protected the rebound and made a long pass to Rondo. The latter made a layup, completely cutting off the Pistons' hope of victory.

Yes, the Pistons were swept out by the Celtics 0:4. These players who once created a legend of counterattacks have not escaped the sanctions of the years. They are already aging!

After the dust settled in the Eastern Conference, the situation of the Western Conference Finals became clear. In San Antonio, the Spurs failed to resist the Lakers' "triangle offense" and lost the crucial fourth game with a narrow score of 91:93 .

Years have also sanctioned them. The most successful team in the NBA over the past ten years is also going downhill. Although their glory days are far from over, they no longer have the dominance they once had.

"Yellow Green War"!After the game ended, the media couldn't wait to put such an eye-catching title on the yet-to-be-arrived general game!
