Chapter 128 No way?That's it?
Celtics offense.

Davis continued to break through and gave the ball to Vershko.

Li Lei stared very closely, and Vershko had no chance, so he had to pass the ball again.

Another benefit of the new lineup: The Heat can do a good job of keeping the Celtics' two shooters in check.

In the last game, McCarty and Vershko did not perform well.

If the shooter can't make a shot, the Celtics can't break the Heat's defense.

The Heat can shrink the basket unscrupulously, which makes Davis's breakthrough and Pierce's low-post offense even more difficult.

More importantly, Blount's strong point has no space under the basket, and he is surrounded by four big men over two meters above the Heat at every turn, losing the firepower of the first two games.

This feeling is that the Heat's new lineup perfectly restrained the Celtics.

Riley's bold adjustment worked wonders.

As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.

Da Fan's coaching level is far worse than that of Riley.

Soon, approaching 24 seconds, the Celtics didn't have a chance to run.

Pierce's forced shot at the last moment also missed.

Bang!

The Heat seized the opportunity, another wave of fast breaks, and Wade scored another 2 points.

4: 0.

The scary thing is: In just 5 minutes of the start, the Heat defended 3 times for 24 seconds.

It can be seen that the Celtics' offense can't be played at all.

13: 4.

The Heat led by 9 points at the start.

Coach Carroll called two timeouts in a row, to no avail.

In the end, it was Pierce who took the ball and relied on Pierce's personal ability to score.

Pierce is also really good, single-handedly singled out the entire Heat team.

He scored 12 points in the first quarter.

Help the team bite the score.

End of first quarter, 22:17.

The Celtics were only 5 points behind.

The second quarter begins.

Pierce, as usual, returned to the court after only a 2-minute break.

But Old Jones and Butler had been waiting for a long time, and the two took turns defending Pierce.

The old Jones wins because of his experience, and Butler wins because he is physically strong enough.

The two caused Pierce a lot of trouble.

Halfway through the second quarter, 30:25, the Heat's lead is still only 5 points.

Looks like the Celtics still have a chance.

Subsequently, the head coaches of both sides sent all the main players to continue the battle.

Li Lei came on the court and found that Pierce always put his hands on his hips when the ball was dead, panting heavily, obviously very tired.

The intensity of the playoffs is significantly higher than the regular season, and the schedule is relatively tight.

Pierce didn't have much rest for seven consecutive games, and almost dragged the Celtics forward alone.

In these two games, Riley used the wheel again, and Haslem, Jones, and Butler took turns to consume Pierce.

Pierce is Superman and should be tired.

What Li Lei admired the most was that Pierce had no intention of giving up.

In the second quarter, Pierce scored another 13 points, leading the Celtics to tighten the score.

The end of the first half, 43:39.

The Celtics were only 4 points behind, 1 point less than the first quarter.

Pierce also scored more points than in the first quarter.

In the first half, Pierce scored an astonishing 25 points.

real man!
True leader!
Even if the Celtics lost in the end, Pierce did not lose.

Come back for the second half.

The situation changed suddenly.

Pierce continued to ask for the ball, but missed three consecutive attacks.

He is really tired.

Exhausted the last trace of physical strength.

This is the section where the situation changes suddenly.

The Heat hit the Celtics like a storm, scoring 32:17 in a single quarter.

End of three quarters, 75:56.

The Heat have led by as many as 19 points.

The most deadly thing is: Everyone can see that Pierce can't move.

Coach Carroll gritted his teeth and replaced Pierce.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Heat quickly expanded the point difference to 20+ while Pierce was not on the court.

Just then, Pierce stood up.

"Coach, I'm going to play!"

Coach Carroll looked at the scoreboard, then at Pierce who obviously hadn't rested: "Are you sure?"

Pierce nodded firmly.

Coach Carroll naturally couldn't stop him.

Pierce is back on the field.

There were sporadic applause at the scene.

Although he is an enemy, Pierce's behavior is worthy of respect.

Miami fans were not stingy with their applause.

Really man, really hard!
Once back on the court, Pierce hit a difficult back-and-forth fadeaway jumper.

Swish!
Pierce fought to the last second.

Unfortunately, to no avail.

The Heat have already grasped the overall situation.

In the end, 103:84, the Heat beat the Celtics and won the tiebreaker.

The Heat advanced to the second round and will play against the rival Nets in the second round.

this match.

Pierce scored 32 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

In seven games, he scored 5 times 30+, which is amazing.

It's a pity that the Heat are the one that has the last laugh.

Wade had 22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 blocks.

Odom had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.

李磊16分7篮板3助攻3抢断2盖帽。

Butler had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

Jones had 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Haslem had 10 points and 8 rebounds.

The Heat scored in double figures with six players and won the tiebreaker without any suspense.

在这七场比赛里，李磊场均16.9分4.8篮板2.6助攻2.3抢断2助攻，投篮命中率51.2%，三分球命中率49.9%。

比常规赛的15.2分3.6篮板2.5助攻2.5抢断2.0盖帽，投篮命中率49.2%，三分球命中率48.8%有所提升。

更出色的是韦德，他在系列赛里场均20.8分5.5篮板4.3助攻1.5抢断1.2盖帽。

The Heat's twin stars, who led the team to the second round in the first season, proved that they are playoff players, born for big scenes.

In comparison, Odom and Jones have fallen a lot.

Especially the old Jones, who has been completely reduced to a 3D player, with only one-handed three-pointers on the offensive end.

At the end of the game, Pierce was in a daze on the bench clutching a big towel.

But soon, he returned to normal.

During the handshake ceremony between the two parties, Pierce held Li Lei's hand tightly, as if he wanted to crush Li Lei's hand.

Li Lei's face was distorted in pain.

Pierce was very proud of this: "Stone, you can't do it!"

"no?"

Li Lei looked down at Pierce's legs, and said contemptuously, "That's it?"

Pierce blew up again.

His only thought now is to kill Artest and Li Lei.

But at this moment, Li Lei hugged Pierce and said sincerely: "Paul, you are a fighter!"

Pierce's eyes turned red, but he quickly pushed Li Lei away, and said arrogantly: "Don't think that just to please me will make me let you go next time, I will kick your ass off next time!"

Li Lei glanced at Pierce's big round buttocks, and laughed loudly: "I think your ass kicks are more enjoyable!"

Pierce said fiercely: "Then you have a try!"

Stars in this era seldom go out of their way to build a good relationship.

The more they admire each other, the more tense they will be.

Everyone will deliberately create hostility, so that they can "kill" their opponents without any scruples.

Just like the "God of Basketball" Jordan, when he meets an opponent he deserves to fight, he will not talk trash when he is ahead by 5 points or 10 points, but will start to provoke when it is 0:0, and arouse the blood of the opponent .

A brief celebration.

Riley does not allow everyone to sleep too late, so as not to affect the next day's training.

Li Lei and Haslem drove back to the hotel near the apartment with Li's father, Li's mother, and Yao Ming.

The 5 people ate some simple supper and were ready to rest.
