Chapter 449 Cruelty (4)

In his own home court, Shi Lei staged "The Return of the King", which changed the atmosphere of the home court from anger to excitement, but in fact all of this came from Shi Lei's self-written and acted, and he didn't suffer even a little bit of harm.

Carried to the locker room on a stretcher, when he recalled the fact that science cannot explain the fact that he could not be injured from the illusion of injury caused by physical pain, the second thought that came to him was not to feel at ease, but to let him Realize, this is a rare opportunity.

That's why the scene just now happened, yes, this is a "lie", but the Celtics need this lie, and so does Shi Lei.Shi Lei needs this lie to make the conquest he wants to achieve more legendary, and the Celtics also need such a lie to boost their momentum of falling into the abyss.

Shi Lei did it, he succeeded without doing anything, and let the Celtics overwhelm their opponents in momentum, but he didn't think this was enough, the hope he brought to the people here, but he hadn't given it yet. Their opponents, take away the fear!

So Shi Lei continued with his performance!
Shi Lei was hanging on the Eagles' basket, holding the ring tightly with one hand, and waving his other arm up and down towards the fans. This made the enthusiasm of the fans here no longer restrainable, and finally became like a passionate volcano. It erupted violently.

Those high-pitched cheers, those screams, accompanied by Shi Lei's movements, became the only thing in TD North Shore Garden!

Fans are always the team's best sixth man, the clarion call of the charge on the battlefield, the drumbeat when the battle is in turmoil, and the unstoppable passion for fighting. At this time, it completely haunts every Celtic fighter. heart.

This blatant foul caused Shi Lei to be shown a tactical foul by the referee, but you can see how worthwhile it was by looking at Rivers' vigorous waving of his arm!

Yes, it was all worth it!
Rondo used his body to oppress Bibby's advance. The unprecedented defensive threat prevented Bibby from continuing to direct the team's offense and passed the basketball to Joe Johnson.

That's Pierce's defense.He firmly stuck to the opponent's body, and followed the opponent's body back and forth with light footsteps. With wide-open eyes and a straight chest, the opponent's breakthroughs and advances failed several times.

This is a Pierce that people don't know well. Even in last year's finals, he didn't let people see that he can defend so well.So Johnson passed the ball, and Johnson dropped the ball directly to Williams inside.

His defender is Davis, but today's Davis seems to have become extraordinarily flexible. Williams just got the basketball, and he straightened out his fat belly, and immediately stood on the defensive position again.

Williams broke and changed direction, but just as he passed in front of Davis, he hit a solid wall.

He was only responsible for defending Josh Smith, allowing Shi Lei to have all the energy to take care of the inside defense.He was caught off guard and quickly made up the defense, causing Williams to walk with the ball.

The ball was returned to the Celtics.

After Shi Lei brought the ball over, he penetrated Johnson's defense without stopping. Before the Eagles' outside line completed his defense, he threw the basketball in Pierce's hands, who was on the weak side of the defense.

Pierce broke through with the ball, and the Eagles' deflected defense made it easy for him. Williams in the paint quickly came out to help defend, Pierce played with his back and took a sudden step back. The jump shot made Williams' heel off the floor, but Pierce hit the basketball backhand on the floor and bounced into Shi Lei's hand.

At this time, the Eagles' defense was completely messed up. Shi Lei pushed away the only Johnson who was entangled with him, and rushed into the Hawks' basket while wiping Williams, who was falling.

Horford, who was standing under the basket, couldn't jump at all at this time, because he had a Perkins whose body weight was one and a half times his body weight.

The basketball hoop began to tremble violently, Shi Lei dunked his hands, almost paralyzing him.

Cracks appeared in the Eagles' defense. Their quick defensive moves and their height advantage, which would never be misplaced, became like paper in front of Shi Lei's breakthrough.What makes them even more painful, however, is that their offense is also getting weaker and weaker.

The Hawks' offense became viscous, and the Celtics' defensive players cut off the cooperation between players. Bibby became the first point where the team collapsed. Rondo's youth and vitality made him He looks even more old and unbearable, he has no breakthrough ability, and the long arms that are always stretched in front of him make it impossible for him to even find the space to shoot.

Woodson could only be replaced by Asi Law, and the Celtics had recovered the point difference to eight points at this time.

But Shi Lei suddenly accelerated the team's offensive and defensive rhythm.

Like a surging tide, the Celtics' offense penetrated into the Eagles' half. Shi Lei's firm breakthrough forced Johnson to go all out. However, this would not have any effect. Josh Smith had to leave Pierce Only a little bit can make Shi Lei calm down a little.

But who can stop the tiger Pierce?
After Pierce caught the ball, he put himself in a deep siege, but he had no intention of breaking out. The basketball only passed in his hands for a while, and then appeared in Rondo's hands.

Rondo broke through with the ball, went deep into the basket, and suddenly threw the ball to the weak defensive side created. Shi Lei was just waiting there, and the next second he flew into the air, and began his soaring that represented death.

Horford let out a muffled groan, and fell down from mid-air. Amidst the roar of the basket, Shi Lei's rippling feet seemed to kick his heart from the air, and he felt suffocated!

His youth, and the desperate court situation, finally made him lost in the suffocating court.

Josh Smith was no longer the arrogance he had at the beginning of the second quarter, he no longer roared, he was quiet, and had disappeared from the field under Shi Lei's defense.

At this time, the score of the two teams was 32:26, ​​and the leader was the Eagles, but no one believed that they could take away a victory from here!
Woodson dutifully called a timeout, adjusting every problematic part of the team and the team lineup, but even he knew that it was difficult for them to get anything in this game!

"Everyone is eager to win, but there is always only one winner. There is no doubt that it will only belong to the Celtics!"

At the end of the halftime, Shi Lei accepted the reporter's interview. When the reporter asked him his opinion on the game, he answered the reporter's question like this.

It is hard for you to imagine that the reporter who got this answer believed it for no reason.He nodded repeatedly, as if he had become an answering man. If it weren't for the sign on his chest saying "Atlanta", perhaps people would think he was working in Boston.

In this match, Shi Lei was undoubtedly able to convince everyone.At this point, plus the eight points he scored in the first quarter, he has already scored 24 points, helping the Celtics, or leading the team, to complete a [-]-point reversal, and they are already leading at this time The Hawks scored three points.

Of course, there is Pierce's credit.After Shi Lei came back, he didn't make many shots. He turned all his breakthroughs into assists.He knew that even though it was the same score, the meaning of what he got and what Shi Lei got would be completely different, because Shi Lei was the protagonist of this game.So he restrained the radiance on his body, hiding behind the invisible brilliance radiating from Shi Lei's body.

"Dude, you need to be sharper, they feel the pain, but they're alive!"

This was Pierce's advice to Shi Lei after halftime.

"But they're just lingering!"

"no doubt!"

Woodson has no good solution. He has replaced half of the team's main players, Bibby, Josh, and Horford, but the team is still lifeless.

"We must be more determined, please remember our tactics, gentlemen!"

But this was just a futile cry. Standing on the court again, the breath of death still dimmed the eyes of the Eagles, leaving only loneliness and silence.

In contrast, everyone in the Celtics has a flame burning in their eyes!
"Victory belongs to the Celtics!"

It seemed that the cheers of the never-ending fans were already a little hoarse, but all the sounds about victory here became louder and louder!

Shi Lei collided with Mario, and he was activated by Woodson again, becoming the main force to defend Shi Lei.But the first time he attacked, he felt that Shi Lei's impact was even more unrivaled.

Is it an illusion?It's just the ebb and flow of momentum.The Celtics are in great momentum, while the Eagles are depressed, so in the eyes of Johnson who is defending, Shi Lei seems to have become even faster!
"Apparently the people of Atlanta woke up a sleeping lion!"

Since last season's playoffs, Fagan has a soft spot for commenting on Celtics games. In this unnoticed game, he sat in the commentary seat in the broadcast room again.

Now the Eagles only have Johnson and Williams as their main team, and the lineup is more defensive, but they still failed to stop the Celtics' offense, which undoubtedly added to their burden.

This made them drop a lot of offensive talent and become a lot more pitiful.

Without so many helpers on the field, Johnson can only believe in himself. He was once a successor to Jordan, and he forced a fadeaway jumper.

"boom!"

Shi Lei suddenly jumped out from behind Pierce, slapped Johnson and the two of them onto the floor with the ball.

Fadebacks are hard to defend, in fact it's just because you don't jump high enough or close enough!

"He seems to be omnipotent, he can score, he can defend, he can protect rebounds, I have never realized that victory can be so easy!"

What Perkins said after the game became the headline of the "Boston Daily News" report on the game-"Stone is omnipotent"!
The Los Angeles media, who came from afar, finally gave their old opponent a positive evaluation in this game-"Some people can always do everything they want!"

"The return of the king, 51 points and let Boston into a frenzy!"

It has always been the backbone of Shi Lei, and "Sports Illustrated" will certainly not forget to make its own voice: "Heaven and hell, fire and ice, it is unbelievable that Shi Lei, who is in the third grade, is already a member of this great team. The most stable winning force in the playoffs!"

"Sweep!"

The Celtics fans seemed to be even more impatient. Before the start of the second game between the two sides, such banners were unfolded in the arena.

But that is not a good prayer!
Two days is not enough to heal the psychological injuries of the Hawks. In fact, they have been preparing for the two sides to meet again in the playoffs for a season, but they still haven't found a way to defend the Celtics' outside attack.

Shi Lei started this game, he replaced Ray Allen!What Woodson feared the most happened.

In the first quarter, Shi Lei even scored 13 points on sudden shots and sent out 3 assists at the same time.Morale finally weakened some of the Celtics' insiders. Although the Hawks' insiders regained their advantage, it was not big enough, compared to the disadvantage of their outsiders against the Celtics' outsiders!

The Celtics took a 7-point lead in a single quarter!

The Celtics usually thrive in the second half of the game, so in these two seasons, all teams that can beat this team, without exception, did so by gaining enough points in the first half of the game .

So some media once said: "When playing against the Celtics, how well his opponent played in the first quarter can let everyone watching the game know whether there is still suspense in this game!"

That seemed to evolve into a mantra, and the Hawks got better in the second quarter.Well, mainly without the support of that atmosphere, the Celtics' substitute allowed the Hawks to recover some points.But in the third quarter, the Celtics played a wave of 7:0 without warning, widening the point difference to ten in one fell swoop.

Then in this quarter of the game, the Celtics suddenly strengthened their defense, allowing the Hawks to only score 14 points in a single quarter.Although the Celtics' shooting percentage in this quarter was also very average, but the 22 points scored were enough to make the game lose suspense before the start of the fourth quarter.

Back in Atlanta, the Hawks still didn't get a chance. They played a good halftime game in the third game, but they also paid enough for defending Shi Lei's breakthrough. After Horford fouled in the middle of the third quarter and was sent off , Pachulia, who came off the bench, couldn't keep up with Shi Lei in terms of mobility, allowing Shi Lei to score five points in a row, and at the same time gave Davis two assists, breaking the anxious situation on the court in one fell swoop.

No team has ever advanced after falling behind 3:0, so although there is still a fourth game between the two sides, the Atlanta people no longer have hope for victory, and the Celtics are also at this time. His eyes shifted to another game.

It was a very difficult series. The Magic and the Cavaliers fought 2:2 at this time.

Who will be the Celtics' opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals?
