There’s a big difference between entering the first round of the playoffs in third place versus fourth place.

The polarization in the East is serious. The top five teams are all very strong, but the sixth place starts to stretch a little.

For the third place, the first round will be very easy against the sixth place, while the fourth place will be against the fifth place, the strength is too close, it is destined to be a bloody battle.

The Heat definitely don’t want to be fourth, and it’s best to get into third.

Therefore, both sides attach great importance to this game.

The Celtics’ record this season is still in the forefront of the Eastern Conference. The three giants composed of Ray Allen, Pierce and Garnett are very powerful. They are very stable on both ends of the offense and defense, especially on the defensive end, with an average of only 93.8 points per game. The league’s defense first.

Under Garnett’s leadership, the Celtics’ defense is very tight from the inside out.

……

TD North Shore Gardens locker room.

Head coach Spoelstra kept emphasizing the tactics of the game.

In terms of importance, there is no need for Spo to explain, and everyone listens very seriously.

The Heat’s record in the second half of the regular season is getting better and better, and the contradictions in the locker room have been suppressed by the team’s victory. Now everyone wants to do a great job in the playoffs.

Wade and Haslem often tell the Heat teenagers about the 2006 championship.

For the current Heat, they can’t wait to repeat it.

In Spoelstra’s tactical arrangement, Zhou Chen and Wade are still the main driving force on the offensive end. What Zhou Chen needs to do on the defensive end is to limit Rondo’s passing and try not to let him connect the team.

Zhou Chen also put forward his own opinions when arranging defensive tactics.

Zhou Chen hopes that everyone will miss Rondo’s shots and focus on attacking the Big Three.

After hesitating, Coach Spoel chose to adopt Zhou Chen’s opinion.

Rondo’s shooting is really bad enough that he doesn’t have much problem shooting.

eight pm.

The Heat were booed by the home fans when they came out.

The Heat are the hottest team in the last month or so. They are invincible and show the temperament of a championship.

It’s a far cry from the last time the Celtics took on the Heat.

The last time the Heat visited the TD North Shore Garden Arena, Zhou Chen hadn’t played yet, sitting on the bench watching the Heat get slaughtered by the Celtics.

There’s a lot to focus on in this game, too.

Zhou Chen and Rondo’s confrontation.

Although there is no private conflict between the two, the Zhou Chen and Rondo portrayed by the media seem to have a real conflict.

Zhou Chen and Rondo didn’t stop the media from spreading the hotspots, because although they didn’t contradict each other, they did look at each other’s displeasure from a distance.

After the appearance ceremony on the field, Rondo stared at Zhou Chen for a while.

Rondo has studied Zhou Chen’s video, and Rondo dare not underestimate Zhou Chen. After all, it is rare in NBA history to have such outstanding scoring players in their rookie seasons.

It’s just that this rookie’s limelight and popularity are a bit too much. Rondo has played for so many years, and his accumulated popularity is far less than Zhou Chen’s.

This is very distressing.

Both in the east, there are vacancies, and Zhou Chen never talks to Rondo in business, which also causes Rondo to be a little resentful, and Rondo also wants to educate Zhou Chen tonight.

………….

“Paul, Kevin, if you have a chance, you can make more of that rookie’s dislocation.”

During the simple repair after the appearance ceremony, Rondo found Pierce and talked to Garnett.

“no problem.”

“OK.”

Garnett and Pierce did not reject Rondo’s suggestion.

Although Zhou Chen’s defense is very strong, they don’t think Zhou Chen can defend them, this is a dislocation.

The visiting team’s bench.

Coach Spoel shouted again: “Guys, this is a key game, we need to prepare for the playoffs, everyone must try their best to win!”

The opponent is the Celtics, a super strong team, and it’s normal to lose if you don’t work together.

“Definitely!”

“Definitely!”

Heat up and down fighting spirit!

Celtics starting: Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett.

Heat starting: Zhou Chen, Wade, Richardson, Joel Anthony, O’Neal Jr.

Beasley has not performed well some time ago and has been sent to the bench. It is still a bit difficult for this former No. 2 pick to adapt to the NBA.

Fox Sports, CATV and other television stations have broadcast the game live.

“Charles, who do you think will win this game?” Kenny Smith asked.

“It’s hard to say, it depends on Zhou’s performance. The last time the two teams faced off, without Zhou, the Heat lost a lot of points. The difference between tonight and that night is whether there is Zhou on the court. Zhou is a reliable offensive point with the ball, even if When Wade isn’t on the court, he can still lead the team,” Barkley said.

Since Zhou Chen wore women’s clothes to explain, now Barkley is a genuine Zhou Chen fan.

While the commentator was talking about the situation of the two teams, the game started.

Olney Jr. jumps with Perkins.

Perkins jumps to win.

The first attack was the Celtics.

Rondo made steady progress, and Zhou Chen followed.

Rondo holds the ball very steadily and doesn’t have too many flaws. When Rondo pays attention to Zhou Chen’s steals, Zhou Chen is not easy to break.

Rondo hoisted the ball directly to Pierce in the low post.

Pierce stuck Richardson for a seat.

Pierce is a good low-post offense, and his offensive skills are also very comprehensive. He likes this kind of sit-down one-on-one.

After hitting Richardson continuously, Pierce chose to roll over and lean back.

Pierce’s rhythm was staggered from Richardson’s defense rhythm, and the ball was scored.

0 to 2.

Heat attack.

Zhou Chen gave the ball to Wade after halftime.

In the presence of Wade, Zhou Chen does not need to attack from beginning to end, the Heat’s opening tactics are for Wade.

Wade stepped in with the help of Joel Anthony’s screen.

Garnett and Perkins firmly guarded the inside line, Wade did not break through, but found a small gap and made a high pull-up jumper.

“frame!”

Wade’s offense is not safe.

The rebound was protected by Garnett.

Wade’s poor start to feel affected the Heat’s offense.

In the first 5 minutes of the first quarter, Zhou Chen didn’t attack much, and the score was 6-15.

Under Rondo’s combing, Ray Allen and Pierce fought vigorously, and the difference was quickly opened.

Coach Spoel called to stop the game and rearranged tactics.

“On the road, Wade’s state was a little lost. He fell into the Celtics’ trap. Too many outside shots made his offensive efficiency low.”

“Zhou Chen was heavily guarded, and he was even attacked by two people when he was unguarded.”

“The Heat’s offensive threat points are still too few, so they dare to attack Zhou Chen so recklessly.”

“The main problem is still that Wade didn’t open up. Joel Anthony, O’Neal and others didn’t help Zhou Chen form enough restraint. This is also related to Spoelstra’s tactical arrangement. Next, the Heat should let Zhou Chen attack. .”

Director Zhang of CATV and Director Xu were discussing the situation on the field.

The Heat had a rare start to some trouble.
