Chapter 350 Eight 2:0?

It's just that Mark Blount isn't a league recruit like Marc Gasol.

Although there was already a foul crisis, Mark Blunt did not start to be timid on the defensive end. On the contrary, he further improved his defensive strength and increased his defensive actions!

On the contrary, the referee on the sidelines did not dare to whistle Mark Blunt's foul again and sent him off directly.

The reason is also very simple. On the one hand, Mark Blount does not want to become a defensive loophole for the Celtics after having the lesson of Marc Gasol.

Secondly, as an experienced player, Mark Blunt really knows that in such a high-profile game, the referees still need to take some care (if the referee didn't buy it).

After all, calling a single player four fouls in a single quarter is definitely big news for any referee in the NBA.

Of course, although the referee did not dare to whistle Mark Blunt's fourth foul in a single quarter, Mark Blunt would not go too far. state.

At the same time, with Xu Lang's singles efforts, the Celtics' defense began to focus more and more on Xu Lang.

This allowed Xu Lang to redisplay his passing ability, helping the Eagles gradually recover the score gap between the two teams.

Until the last 35 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Hawks were just one point behind the Celtics.

It's just that the offensive ball is still on the Celtics' side. If the Eagles want to overtake the score, they need to defend the Celtics' offense first.

Then, the Celtics spent 15 seconds of attack time, and finally Allen Iverson broke through and passed the ball to Ray Allen outside the three-point line in the left corner.

Ray Allen, who received the basketball, made a difficult three-pointer against Szczerbiak's defensive interference.

With the last 18 seconds left in the game, the Eagles are four points behind!

There is no doubt that the next offensive option for the Eagles can only be a three-pointer.

At this critical moment, Xu Lang stood up decisively as the team leader.

It was just when Xu Wasted all his hard work and made a three-pointer from the top of the arc one step away from the three-point line.

Turning around, the Celtics once again scored a 3+1 by Ray Allen against Szczerbiak's foul.

To be honest, even Ray Allen himself didn't expect this goal to be scored.

After all, when he received the basketball and watched Szczerbiak jumping over, he immediately planned to make a shot, and he just wanted to cause a three-point foul.

result…………

It can only be said that everything is God's will!

And after Ray Allenga made a free throw and scored four points, the Eagles' last chance to comeback was completely wiped out!
The Eagles, which were five points behind, could only lose the first game of the series once again when Xu Lang made a three-pointer and hit the buzzer.

There is no doubt that Xu Lang, who got to the free throw line many times in the last quarter and hit two consecutive three-pointers at the last critical moment, has done his best.

But Ray Allen couldn't stand it at the last moment!

You must know that in the whole game, Ray Allen hit a total of three three-pointers, two of which were hit in the last 35 seconds!
And Ray Allen, who played almost 40 minutes in the game, scored a total of 12 points, ten of which were scored by three-pointers, two three-pointers, and one 3+1.

It can only be said that it is time and fate. Szczerbiak's final defense was still a little hasty and he struck lightly.

Although Ray Allen sent three free throws to the free throw line, it is difficult for the Eagles to complete a comeback, but that still gives the Eagles a glimmer of hope!

Fortunately, although they lost the first game again, the Eagles were not discouraged.

Even though this game became the third quarter of the Eagles, Marc Gasol, the war criminal player who was constantly widening the score gap, did not complain about himself, but was constantly actively working hard to adjust his game state.

After all, the loss in the first game was not because of the huge gap between the Eagles and the Celtics, but because Ray Allen's last three-pointer was really lucky.

Just when the Eagles were sharpening their knives and planning to fight back in the second game, Marc Gasol gave the Eagles a fatal blow.

The second game of the current series between the Eagles and the Celtics was also played at the Phillips Arena, home of the Eagles.

Although the Eagles regretted losing the first game at home, the fans of the Eagles still have great enthusiasm for the second game, and they also believe that the Eagles can get back a victory.

In fact, from the beginning of the game, the Eagles did meet the expectations of the fans.

The Celtics' defensive strategy for Game [-] was the same as it was for the previous game.

I just hope to suppress Xu Lang's personal performance, and let the other players of the entire Eagles and the Celtics compete for team offense and team hard power.

And Xu Lang, who has experienced the Celtics' defense in the last game, naturally knows that if he wants to break the Celtics' defensive suppression, he needs to attack more with the ball!

Therefore, at the beginning of this game, Xu Lang changed his game style from the previous game, and switched to attacking with the ball mainly, team attacking, and passing the ball as a supplement.

Then, Xu Lang scored 14 points, three rebounds, and four assists in the first quarter.

It can be said that 80% of the Eagles' points in the first quarter were related to Xu Lang.

And in the case of Xu Lang's tough individual singles in the first quarter of the game, the extremely effective defensive strategy used by the Celtics in the first game was completely broken.

That is to say, in this game, the Celtics' two offensive cores, inside and outside, have a better touch and offensive state than in the previous game.

So although the Eagles scored 31 points higher in the first quarter than in the previous game, at the end of the first quarter, the Eagles still only had a two-point lead.

It's just obvious that the Eagles' two-point lead in the first quarter of the second game has a different meaning from the two-point lead in the first quarter of the first game.

After all, in the first game, the Celtics and the Eagles played at both ends of the offense and defense.

But in this game, the Celtics, whose defense was completely broken by the Eagles and Xu Lang, were suppressed by the Eagles both on the offensive and defensive ends.

Therefore, in the second quarter of this game, the Celtics were not able to gradually shorten the gap between the two pairs and even almost surpassed the score as they did in the previous game. On the contrary, they allowed the Eagles to further expand the score. .

In the end, at the end of the halftime game, the Eagles further expanded their lead to as many as five points.

If the game is over by this time, the Eagles have already won the game!

And even if this game is not over now, if the Eagles can continue the game state and suppression state of the first half of the game in the second half, the Eagles will win this game very easily.

But unfortunately, in the second half of the game, Marc Gasol, who was fouled once by Kevin Garnett and fouled three times, fell into the brink of a foul crisis again.

In the third quarter of the last game, Marc Gasol, who was on the verge of a foul crisis, was a bit timid on the defensive end, which directly caused the Celtics to explode in scoring in the third quarter. And thus established the victory of the game.

In this game, Marc Gasol, who was also on the verge of a foul crisis at the beginning of the third quarter, once again became the target of all Celtics players.

And this time, it's not just Allen Iverson who is constantly trying to solo Marc Gasol. All the other Celtics players, as long as they face Marc Gasol, will catch the ball and attack with the ball.

After all, as a Big Four team, the Celtics have too many players who can attack with the ball. Even Mark Blunt, a veteran center, has the ability to attack with the ball behind him.

Then, under the targeting of Celtic's whole team, Marc Gasol once again fell into a defensive dilemma.

And this time Marc Gasol did not choose to defend with fear like in the last game, but chose to attack decisively and began to further improve like Mark Blunt, who had made five fouls in the last game own defensive strength.

However, it is obvious that Marc Gasol does not have as much game experience as Mark Blount, nor does he have as precise control over the defensive scale as Mark Blount!
Then, less than halfway through the third quarter, Marc Gasol was fouled four times and was sent off the court.

As one of the inside cores of the Eagles this season, and also one of the inside cores of the Eagles' future team building, Marc Gasol's offensive and defensive role in this Eagles team is obviously greater than that of the other three center players.

Therefore, when Marc Gasol was replaced off the court, although Mike Woodson immediately replaced Uncle Mu on the court, it slightly supplemented the Eagles' ability to protect the frame inside!
But obviously, Uncle Mu has no way to replace Marc Gasol on the offensive end.

After all, as the third passing point of the Eagles, a stable mid-range high-fort shooter, Marc Gasol can help the Eagles operate the entire tactical system and open up enough space.

As a result, now that Uncle Mu is on the field, although the defensive end makes up for the shortcomings of Marc Gasol, but on the offensive end, Uncle Mu's unstable mid-range shooting and aging physical condition make it difficult for him to play enough offense. Pulling.

This allowed the Celtics to double-team Xu Lang and Darko Milicic more confidently and unscrupulously in the second half of the third quarter!
After failing to suppress Xu Lang's defensive strategy in the first half of the game, Rivers has already discovered that with the current defensive strength of the Celtics, it is difficult to completely block Xu Lang, who is determined to hold the ball in singles!
Moreover, as long as Xu Lang is determined to play singles, the Celtics must be double-teamed or assisted in defense. Otherwise, with Xu Lang's offensive efficiency, it is completely possible to beat the Celtics one-on-one. wear.

However, the problem is that Xu Lang is a point guard!

Once the offer to Xu Lang started, Xu Lang could easily pass the ball to the vacated Eagles player.

And as long as Xu Lang can pass the ball, with Darko Milicic and Marc Gasol as the core of the Eagles' two deputy passers.

The Celtics, which can only defend three and four, still have no way to completely rely on the team's defensive system to suppress the Eagles.

It's just that, with the defensive strength of the Celtics, facing the Eagles' three offensive core offensive system will be a bit clumsy.

But now after Marc Gasol's offensive core was knocked out, Reeves found that the Celtics' defense seemed to be able to come back to life again.

Then, with the Celtics focusing on the defensive end, the performance of Xu Lang and Darko Milicic began to decline gradually in the second half of the third quarter!

And what made the Eagles even worse was that, except for Xu Lang and Darko Milicic, the other players of the Eagles didn't feel very good in this game!
This led to the time when Xu Lang and Darko Milicic, the two core players of the team, were being targeted.

The other players of the Eagles failed to stand up in time to share the offensive pressure of the two!
Then, the game returned to the rhythm of the previous game!
In the second half of the third quarter, the Celtics began to quickly shorten the gap between the two teams, and at the end of the third quarter, they overtook the score and took a one-point lead.

Then the game situation of the two teams reversed instantly.

After confirming that Marc Gasol was the password player to win the game, when Marc Gasol returned to the game in the fourth quarter, the Celtics immediately targeted Marc Gasol again. Gasol continues to play singles!

Then, Marc Gasol also didn't last much time in the fourth quarter, and immediately left the field with six fouls!

"Damn, why? Why did the old guy in the last game dare to play such a heavy hand just by getting five fouls?"

"It turned out to be all kinds of fouls!"

Marc Gasol, who was off the field again, couldn't understand at all that the player who was also a fifth offender, and he was still playing at home, the difference in penalties between the two was so big!

What Marc Gasol didn't know was that in the last game, Marc Blount dared to commit five fouls, but he still played hard on the defensive end and increased his defensive strength.

A large part of the reason is that Mark Blunt was whistled for three fouls in a single quarter in the fourth quarter!

That's why the referee was a bit wary, and didn't dare to punish Mark Blunt for a foul in the sixth game.

But Marc Gasol in this game is different!

In this game, although Marc Gasol committed five fouls, these five fouls were basically evenly distributed in the four quarters.

In addition, after all, Marc Gasol's game experience and judgment on referee standards are not as rich and accurate as Mark Blunt, an old fox and old man.

Naturally, Marc Gasol wanted to learn from Mark Blount's style of play in the fourth quarter of the previous game that he committed five fouls and used another referee's style of play. The result could only be that the referee continued to sanction him!

After Marc Gasol left the field with six fouls, the Celtics immediately began to adjust their defensive strategy, re-focusing on blocking Xu Lang and Darko Milicic on the defensive end.

Then the rhythm of the game changed to the rhythm of the second half of the third quarter!

Finally, in the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Celtics have gradually extended their lead to seven points.

Although in the last 2 minutes, Xu Lang once again started to score crazily and efficiently, but it is obvious that the difference of [-] points is not so easy to be wiped out.

At the end of the whole game, the Celtics won the game again with a four-point lead in the Hawks' second home game.At the same time, the big score of this round of the series was pulled to a 2:0 lead.

They lost two games in a row at the beginning, and they were still at home.

After this game, the Eagles and Marc Gasol, who performed at the level of war criminals in these two games, were once again pushed to the forefront by the media.

In the regular season, Marc Gasol was identified as one of the team's three core players by the Eagles, and thus gained a lot of tactical bonuses, which made his personal data performance significantly exceed his actual level of strength.

But there is also something to be paid for. While obtaining data performance and media evaluations that far exceed his strength evaluation, Marc Gasol also needs to bear higher than his strength level, public opinion requirements and game influence requirements.

In the regular season, because the overall strength of the Eagles is strong enough, and Xu Lang is there to support them.

Although Marc Gasol occasionally has some bad game performances, the overall impact on him is not too great.

But after entering the playoffs, Marc Gasol's worse performance in one series than one series began to make him suffer from the backlash of public opinion!

In the first round of the series, facing the Cavaliers without a strong inside team, Marc Gasol was already struggling. Even at the end of his career, O'Neal, who had entered his old age, was able to beat Marc Gasol one-on-one.

And when it entered the second round of the series, Howard, the top young center in the league, directly beat Marc Gasol to the ground.

And when it came to the Eastern Conference Finals, Marc Gasol faced the Celtics' inside twin towers with rich experience, extremely strong strength and tough playing style.

It is no longer about being blown up, but directly becoming a player who is being teased by the opponent, and has also become the biggest breakthrough for the Eagles' defense!
