The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 166: Promotion situation is good

At halftime, the fans' faces were already full of smiles.

After some tactical confrontation, Tang Tian is still the most powerful one. The Celtics' research in the past three days can be considered a waste.

Fans are waiting for the Rockets to harvest in the second half.

But as soon as the second half came back, the Celtics coaching staff again showed their abilities to everyone.

Back in the second half, Rivers replaced Perkins directly and used Posey as the starting number 4.

This also means that Garnett will play 5 and directly face Yao Ming.

In the first half, Rivers also allowed Garnett to try to defend Yao Ming for two rounds, but Perkins was shot twice by Millsap and he finally had to choose to give up. Now he directly puts Perkins. Take it down.

This is a broken jar and slammed directly.

Posey has excellent defensive ability. You have the ability to kill me!

The Rockets were rude. Yao Ming put Ganetra to the other side, leaving Millsap high enough to play back.

The Celtics didn't defend at this time either. Millsap was a sophomore, after all, and they didn't want to take the risk.

Millsap looked back at Posey without a double lap, sinking his weight and fighting.

James Posey, the Heat's 2006 champion, is one of the league's well-known defensive tycoons. Many people put him, Bowen and Shane Battier on the same level of defense, in the words of experts: relying on himself Proven experience and accurate judgement can defend a power forward that is 3 inches taller than himself without a physical advantage.

The small forward can defend the power forward, which is a very high evaluation.

But the point is that Millsap is no more than an inch taller than Posey, but weighs 20 kilos more.

When you hit back, weight is more important than height.

Not to mention that Millsap started practicing back-throwing under the guidance of Tang Tian when he first entered the league. It has now been 2 full seasons.

After two resistances, Posey was completely distorted.

With a pure weight rolling turn, Millsap pushed away from Posey to score a board.

In the face of the absolute gap, Posey's defensive skills simply do not help.

The Celtics side Pierce's strong layup missed.

The Rockets pushed to halftime and continued to let Millsap sit down to play Percy.

This time Millsap played more thoroughly, directly rolling a large, sharp turn, and rushing to the basket was a one-handed dunk.

Cheers at the scene exploded again.

The Celtics' adjustment in the second half was, after all, a countermeasure that came up in the first half, far less effective than the layout at the beginning.

The thought of the fans at the moment is: Do you think you are Tang Tian!

After only playing for more than three minutes, Millsap had already scored 7 points and jumped the old fritters like Posey.

Rivers opened his mouth and looked at the field blankly at this time. It was already an expression pack material.

In the end, the method of breaking the jar and smashing did not work. The Celtics defense system lost its effect again, and it could only rely on the offensive firepower of the Big Three to maintain the score.

But this Celtics, based on defensive, fight offensively, the other points outside the Big Three are too poor to grasp, not a Rockets opponent at all.

In the end, in the cheers of nearly 20,000 fans at Toyota Center, the Rockets defeated the Celtics 106-93 and won the second game of the series.

Yao Ming scored 32 points, plus 13 rebounds and 5 assists. McGrady scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Millsap had a playoff record of 18 points and 7 rebounds.

On the Celtics side, the performance of the three giants has greatly improved compared to the previous game. Garnett made 9 of 14 shots and scored 21 points and 9 rebounds. Pierce also scored 23 of 8 shots and scored 23 points. Ray Allen made 22 of 5 three-pointers.

The three giants scored 66 points in total, but otherwise did not score and doubled.

2-0 lead, despite the ups and downs of the process, the Rockets successfully maintained their home court advantage.

In this case, even if the Rockets lose all three away games, all subsequent games will be played at home.

Of course, the Rockets' probability of losing three games in a row is also very small.

The Rockets' championship situation is great.

After the game, the Rockets fans were cheered by the media.

Defending is close at hand, and many fans have already started carnivals in advance, and even started to discuss whether the Rockets can swept their opponents to win the championship like last year.

There is an upsurge of discussions, although the players are unintentional, but there is still a little bit of pride.

After seeing it, Tang Tian pulled up to remind him for a while, and then directly asked the players to turn off all social media and train directly behind closed doors before winning the championship.

This kind of adjustment quickly achieved results. The players ’mentality adjusted back and continued to train hard, waiting for the team to win the O'Brien Cup in Boston ~ www.readwn.com ~ Think about holding the glorious Green Army home court. Starting a trophy is definitely a particularly exciting thing.

On the evening of June 10, American time, Tang Tian and the Rockets boarded a plane to Boston.

Tomorrow night, they will usher in the third game of the Finals and the Celtics' first home.

Early the next morning, Tang Tian organized the team for basic training.

Although both home games have been won, the Celtics' away game is by no means so good. To know that this season's 41 home games, the Celtics have only lost 2 of them, compared with Utah Jazz last year. The home of the devil is also exaggerated.

The Rockets are training behind closed doors, and they have declined all interviews with reporters. However, the Celtics are still training publicly. The general manager of the team, Angie, also went to the training hall to cheer on his teammates.

When the general manager arrived, reporters on the sidelines would naturally not miss such an opportunity.

Despite losing 2 games, Angie's face is still full of confidence. He has taken out the Celtics home record and examples of counterattacks in the playoffs this year. He frankly believes that the team will start at home. Counterattack.

"I heard that last summer, the team wanted to hire Tang Tianlai as the head coach, but was unsuccessful. Now Tang Tian has the upper hand in the game against Rivers. Is this a regret?" The reporter who asked the question clearly felt that The material is not enough, so I put a big trick directly.

"What? Who are you talking about?" Anji directly denied the reporter's question.

"Rivers is the best coach in my heart. He has done his best. I don't think he is worse than Don. I don't think the current situation has anything to do with his coaching ability. Now the team is temporarily behind. There are many reasons, but like I said, we will start to fight back at home. "
