Chapter 437
For a multi-core team like the Celtics, the biggest problem for the defensive side is that they cannot concentrate their defense on a certain player, even if the "superstars" do not perform so well.

In this fast counterattack, Rondo's speed has already caused headaches for the Bulls' immature defense, but they still have to put part of their minds on Ray Allen, although Ray Allen made a hit in this game The rate is very average, but for a player like him, no one can guarantee that he will not regain his "killer thunder" state in the next second.

So with a change of direction, Rondo tore through the outside defense organized by the Bulls, and easily sent the basketball into the basket before their inside returned.

At this time, the score on the court was 66:59, and the Celtics led the Bulls by 7 points, which was also the biggest difference in this game.

The psychology of the Bulls began to fluctuate. The illusion that they could beat the Celtics slowly dissipated as the point difference continued to expand.

They urgently need to complete their illusion again, so the attack speed is faster.

But the tactical cooperation between them is not enough to match such an offensive speed.

Rose received the basketball from the bottom line, turned around and rushed towards the Celtics' half court.After Ross ran across the half court a few steps, he saw that Tony Allen was already standing in a defensive position, ready to intercept him, when Rose suddenly half-turned.Taking advantage of the fact that the Celtics' defense was not completely stable, after throwing the basketball to teammate Ben Gordon, they ran away from Tony Allen without the ball.

Ben Gordon, who was also running at high speed, shook slightly after receiving the basketball. His decisive shot selection in this game made Ray Allen hurriedly raised his hand to cover Gordon's face. At this time, Gordon suddenly took a small step to the right to dribble the ball. Ray Allen reflected from the first fake move and hurriedly wanted to move a big step laterally to the right, blocking Gordon's way.

In the meantime, Gordon quickly turned to the left, leaving Ray Allen behind him.

Tony Allen had no choice but to give up chasing Rose and switch to Gordon.

Seeing that Rose got the vacancy, the head coach of the Bulls only felt his eyes light up. In his expectant eyes, Gordon passed the basketball to pass the ball as expected.

But it was just a misstep.

The attack was too fast, they didn't control the position of each other well, when they finished all the moves, they were very close to the basket, which gave Shi Lei a chance, he rushed out from the basket with a stride, and cut off with a slap. Got a pass from Gordon.

When Shi Lei began to dribble forward with a full sense of rhythm, the Bulls teammates rushed towards their own half, but Shi Lei's speed did not give them so much time to return to defense.

Shi Lei switched hands and scored a layup, giving the Celtics a nine-point lead.

This point difference finally made the Bulls players who had been fighting all the time feel tired.Youth represents infinite possibilities, but youth also means that they are not stable. When they are almost infinitely frizzy in their next attack, their head coach can only shout in vain from the sidelines: "Rhythm, be steady!" , stabilize the rhythm, don't forget our tactics!"But it can't help the team complete this offense.

Perkins, the most burly player on the field, protected the backcourt rebound this time. After the Celtics launched a counterattack, Shi Lei responded from a high position and assisted Ray Allen with a mid-range shot, widening the point difference to 11 in one fell swoop. point.

The young Bulls finally couldn't bear the pressure of the falling game. After their head coach called a timeout, they still allowed the Celtics to widen the point difference by 16 points before the end of the third quarter.

The home fans finally watched the game with peace of mind, because many people knew that the Bulls had no hope of making a comeback, and their breathless game state fully explained everything.

But for the Bulls, they are also the winners of this game, because their young core Rose scored 36 points and 11 assists in this game!This also allowed him to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and become the player with the most explosive data in the first playoff game of the first season in his career.

Well, it's actually a fucking record, but isn't that something to be thankful for?
In the absence of Garnett, the Celtics finally won the game without any risk, and kept their precious home court advantage that they had gained after fighting hard in the regular season, barely opening their way to the playoffs A good start.

Most of the rest of the teams did not lose the chain in their first playoffs, and the trend of the game was basically carried out according to the previous analysis of the media.

In the game between the Cavaliers and the Pistons on the same day as the Celtics, "Little Emperor" LeBron James played well, making 20 of 13 shots and scoring 38 points, 8 rebounds and 7 shots for the Cavaliers. Assists, leading the Cavaliers to a 102:84 victory over the Pistons.

The Celtics' old rivals, the Lakers, also tried their hand at their home court and easily defeated the Jazz.

The Atlanta Hawks, who caused a lot of trouble for the Celtics in the playoffs last season, were even sharper. Their opponent, the Heat, only scored 64 points in defense throughout the game, setting a record for the lowest scoring in the playoffs this season.

However, none of the above are the hot topics reported by the media after the first round.

In the past 13 years, the Magic have only made it past the first round of the playoffs once, and they have high hopes for the playoffs this year.Due to the absence of Celtics general Kevin Garnett, the Magic's confidence has doubled and they are very likely to enter the Eastern Conference Finals.Both Howard and head coach Stan Van Gundy are confident. "If you can't go deep enough into the playoffs, then he and I are the most likely to be fired." Van Gundy even joked.

However, the game was not as easy as imagined. In the game that was played one day later than the Celtics, the Magic were sniped tenaciously by the 76ers.Although Howard scored 12 points in the first quarter, they did not have the advantage and fell behind 25:27.

Although in the second and third quarters, the Magic successfully displayed the momentum of their own strong team, and within 5 minutes after the middle of the third quarter, the 76ers did not make a single shot, but they still Did not have the last laugh!
At the end of the third quarter, after the 76ers were opened by the Magic 79:61, they completed a big reversal in the fourth quarter. Iguodala scored the winning goal and scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists , Helped the 76ers 100:98 tactical magic, won the first playoff victory.
