Celtics coach Rivers stood on the sidelines, silent with his hands on his hips.
He has made the most adjustments, trying to restrain the Wizards players from playing, but in many cases, the game can not sit back and relax without being prepared in advance.
It seems as though any tactical restrictions are placed, players like Kobe and James can still easily score 30+40+.
It's just that he never thought that the rookie of the Wizards team's unknown name is actually the kind of player who can't be completely suppressed by tactics!
Paul George!
Looking deeply at the sweaty George on the field, Rivers knows that this guy will fly into the sky and become one of the top small forwards in the league!
...
Soon, the Celtics gave up targeted defense against George.
Rather than locking George but liberating other outside players, it is better to continue to let George keep singles. At least George's mid-range shot can't be compared with the three-point shots of Curry and others.
Just like the last game, George played so well. The scores of the two teams are still very close. The Celtics still have a chance to make a comeback in the last second before the end of the game, but unfortunately they are not sure.
Now, what Rivers can do is to let his players open their posture and do a real fight with the opponent!
So, the style of the two teams suddenly changed in the second half of the game. The most obvious change was that the offensive firepower of the Celtics Big Three suddenly increased.
While the Wizards didn't react, the Celtics first started with Rondo assists and tactical running out of the space. Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, and then Pierce also used his own way to play against him. In the middle distance singles George Success, not only made a precise hit, but also caused George to foul in the shooting process, reaching 2+1.
Later, Garnett also frequently asked for the ball in the low post, facing Jamison's defensive sacrifice and then backing up the jumper.
In the blink of an eye, the Celtics side once again opened the difference.
However, this time, the Wizards responded extremely quickly.
It's not without cost for the Celtics to strengthen their offense. Investing more energy on the offensive end will naturally reveal on the defensive end.
Curry, who has been suppressed for three games, finally found a chance. He has been deflated for a long time, but he has no intention of letting go of the opportunity. The two consecutive three points on the outside line will narrow the gap between the scores, and Harden has also found a chance to break through. The inside hit the basket to create a foul.
The two teams do not give in to each other and the competition is fierce.
When the third quarter ended, both teams scored more than 30 points in a single quarter, and even approached 40 points.
The Wizards had 39 points and the Celtics had 37 points.
In the first quarter before, the two teams only scored 16:25, the Wizards 16 points, and the Celtics 25 points.
The difference between the scores before and after is so big, if not the fans who watched the whole journey, I am afraid that they will have the illusion of whether they are wrong or not.
However, when the game reached the fourth quarter, the Celtics side inevitably had problems.
It's still a question that people always talk about-physical fitness.
The age of the Celtics Big Three is too big to support high-intensity games.

Rivers originally wanted to strengthen the offensive, make quick decisions, and take the lead ahead of time.
But the facts prove that the Wizards' offensive rhythm cannot be challenged by any team.
When the fourth quarter of the game reached about five minutes, the Celtics' offensive efficiency was already uncontrollably low.
On the Wizards' side, Curry, Harden, George and others are still attacking tirelessly.
The gap in scores was quickly widened.
Looking at the helplessness, Rivers could only helplessly sigh and replace the Big Three who are still fighting on the field.
"Coach, don't give up, the game is not over! We still have hope!"
Off the court, sweaty Garnett yelled at Rivers.
Pierce also inserted his waist, nodding his head while panting and said: "Yes, coach, give me a little more time, I will definitely beat the rookie and chase back the difference!"
"Enough is enough..." Rivers shook his head. He knew that the three old men who would not accept the old one would definitely not give up the game voluntarily, but the reality could not be changed stubbornly. "In this game, we really lost. Since Paul George was able to deal with the doubles, we have already lost."
"Rather than being more true in this must-have game, it is better to reserve more physical strength and prepare for the next game." Rivers looked at several people and said: "This game is counted, and the score will not come. It's only 1:3, the series is not over yet, is there not a team in history that has fallen behind 1:3 and then made a Jedi comeback, or do you have no confidence in yourself?"
Several people looked at each other, and Garnett stopped talking.
They also understood that although they refused to accept the defeat, they did lose in this game.
And what Rivers said is very reasonable, but the Big Three are all old fritters that have been in the league for many years. How can they not understand it?
Even Rivers himself, after saying this sentence, understood that it was only self-consolation.
In their home court, after making all the preparations and tactics that can be done, the team still can't beat the Wizards. Next to the Wizards' home, how can they win?
"Washington Wizards... Wang Xiao..."
Gazing deeply at the other side, sitting on the bench, watching Wang Xiao with all his attention, Rivers muttered to himself.
"It's only been two seasons that this team at the bottom of the league has reached this level, this guy is really..."
Recalling last season's playoffs, the Celtics encountered the Wizards in the Eastern Conference. It was a game without suspense. The Wizards did not have any resistance, and they were directly swept out by 4:0.
At that time, Rivers had never dreamed of it. In the second year, when he faced the Wizards again, he was the first to get the match point. It was actually the Wizards.
114:91, when the final score of the whole game was fixed on the big screen, the big score of the two teams also became 3:1, and the Wizards won the match point.
After losing to the Celtics in the first game, the Wizards actually won three consecutive games and won the match points directly, which many people did not expect.
But this is not the biggest upset in this playoffs.
After all, the Wizards are the first in the league to win 68 wins. The Celtics are only fourth in the West. The loss to the Wizards is surprising but reasonable.
The real upset, happened in the Western Conference semifinals, the defending champion, the Los Angeles Lakers who have won two consecutive championships, and they were beaten by the Dallas Mavericks 4:0 without any resistance, becoming the first division semifinal to be eliminated. Team!
