Chapter 384 Nine consecutive victories

The opponents in the finals of last season, and the record of seven rounds of unbeaten victories at the beginning of the new season, made the voice of "Hulk and the Purple and Gold Army" to dominate this season more and more loud. , In the eighth game, the two teams encountered the same trouble again.

In the game between the Lakers and the Pistons held one day earlier, the Lakers were stubbornly blocked by the Pistons, who had lost two games in a row after the trade.

In this game, Iverson finally recovered his superstar demeanor. He hit all the first three shots and led the Pistons to a 12:2 start.

However, in the next 5 minutes, the Pistons did not score a point, allowing the Lakers to overtake the score by 12:0.At this time, it was Iverson again. He assisted Wallace and helped the team equalize the score.Before the end of the period, he hit two consecutive shots to help the Pistons enter the second quarter with a 23:16 score.

After gaining the lead, the Pistons seemed to have regained the style of the former champion team. After the start of the second quarter, they quickly expanded the point difference to 33:20.

After days of fighting, Kobe, who is used to fighting the team on his shoulders, finally encountered physical problems. After hitting a shot in the middle of the second quarter, he missed three consecutive shots under the tight defense of the Pistons.

However, the Pistons, which were not strong in offensive ability, did not seize this opportunity, allowing Kobe to hit a three-pointer before halftime, reducing the point difference to nine points.

Back in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant, who had regained his physical strength after the intermission, led the Lakers to launch a counterattack. With a little more than seven points left in the third quarter, Kobe recovered the trailing point difference to five points.

However, Iverson stood up again after that. After stealing Kobe, he led the Pistons to a 6:0 spurt, expanding the point difference to double digits again.

Since then, the Lakers have organized counterattacks several times, but none of them have achieved results. With 2 minutes left in this section, Kobe was intercepted by Iverson again, and the section ended with a wave of 7:2.

In the fourth quarter, the Pistons' offense encountered trouble again, but Iverson created two consecutive free throw opportunities, allowing the Pistons to maintain their lead at double digits, without giving the Lakers a chance to comeback.

最终，活塞凭借阿伦.艾弗森的25分、4个篮板、4次助攻和4个抢断，拉希德.华莱士的25分13个篮板，以106:95的比分，终结了湖人的连胜。

After becoming the only team to maintain a complete victory in the new season, the Celtics encountered almost the same difficulties as the Lakers in the away game against the Raptors.

In the new season, after the trade of Jermaine O'Neal, the Raptors' internal competitiveness has become very strong, which happens to restrain the Celtics.

Although Perkins has made significant progress this season, he is more suitable to deal with "rough guys" like Bynum, and he is still a bit too strong to deal with the luxurious inside line composed of O'Neal and Bosh.

After Perkins was unable to provide effective support, Garnett's weakness in defensive confrontation was infinitely magnified.

The Raptors seized this point to attack, started with a wave of 16:7, and led 23:18 in the first quarter.

After the start of the second quarter, the Celtics replaced Shi Lei and Perkins. This had some effect, and the Celtics narrowed the point difference to two points.

Just after the situation improved, the Celtics had problems with their touch again. They missed consecutive shots and missed the opportunity to tie the score, while the Raptors blossomed more.First, they used the already advantageous inside line to force the Celtics to shrink their defense. After the outside line began to show off, they once led by 16 points and ended the first half with 48:36.

At this time, the Celtics have many stars in the team, and the benefits of the lineup being in rotation all the time are shown.

After a half-time fierce confrontation, the Raptors' physical strength began to decline just after a back-to-back, but the Celtics did not have any hidden worries in this regard. After strengthening their own defense in the second half, the Raptors' shooting percentage began to decline. Little O'Neal, who was not in good physical condition, also gradually became weak.

The Celtics recovered the point difference to 59:65 in one fell swoop in the third quarter.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Raptors' physical problems became more obvious, which contrasted with the fierceness of the Celtics' counterattack.

Pierce showed off the demeanor of the finals MVP and kept shooting.With 5 minutes and 14 seconds left in this section, after Pierce made two consecutive three-pointers, the Celtics narrowed the gap to 1 point.

Immediately afterwards, Ray Allen, who replaced Shi Lei, also hit a three-pointer to help the Celtics lead the lead.

Although Anthony Parker also hit a three-pointer and O'Neal made a layup, the Raptors couldn't stop Pierce, who was playing well.

After Pierce hit three consecutive shots, the Celtics exceeded 90:84.

The Raptors' delusional upset heart was finally extinguished.

If you are ready to accept your fate, it is impossible to change your fate.In the end, the Celtics took away their eighth game of the new season from Toronto with 84:87!

After the end of the game, it became the only team to win this season. The Celtics seemed to have really defeated the Lakers. Many media used their tools to say: "After all, the defending champion is better. "!"
This angered the Lakers. The Los Angeles people, who have been brooding about the loss at the last moment of last season, tortured the Bulls away and regained the feeling of victory.

But the Celtics were not satisfied either. After returning to their home court, facing the Eagles who came for revenge, the Celtics still defended their home honor despite the difficulties.

After the baptism of last season's playoffs, the Eagles have a new look in the new season. The anger of revenge made them imposing. They pressed the Celtics to attack at the beginning. With 7 minutes left in the second quarter, they scored 44: 28 achieved a 16-point advantage.

The Celtics, who were stunned by the Eagles' opening offensive, finally recovered at this time. Pierce and Ray Allen hit three-pointers one after another, and they scored 8:0.

However, the somewhat frustrated Eagles did not change their offensive strategy, and the two sides entered a stalemate tug-of-war.

The "Super Sixth Man" Shi Lei played his own role at this time. After the main players of both sides took a break, he led the substitutes to stop the Hawks within 2 minutes, forcing their main players to play again.

Physical strength once again became an important factor in deciding the game. After the Celtics replaced their main force, the Eagles players who did not get much rest time were gradually opened up by the Celtics.

In the end, the Celtics once again used a reversal to gain their ninth victory of the season!
