Chapter 663 Bloodbath the Raptors! Completely kill hope!
What Toronto fans never expected was that this was just the beginning!
Lin Long is obviously determined to pay attention in the opening stage to completely eliminate all the Raptors' counter-attack ideas. After the first offense smashed Olajuwon and caused a foul, he in the following rounds, Still hitting the inside of the Raptors non-stop!
Finally, 3 minutes into the first quarter, with another impact from Lin Long, Olajuwon finally failed to hold back his defensive action and was fouled by Lin Long for the second time!
After landing, Lin Long looked at Olajuwon, who was half a head taller than himself and still as majestic as a mountain, and said extremely arrogantly: "You are just the remnants of the previous era, you should be with Michael and Patrick. Same, stay away from this league! 35
"The present and future of this alliance belong to me!"
Lin Long's arrogance further sets off Olajuwon's loss. He really feels his powerlessness and old age. Facing Lin Long, the defense and rim protection he has been proud of since 31 is completely useless. cause any trouble.
What made Olajuwon even more lost was that he thought that even if he was really 10 years younger and returned to his peak state, would he be able to prevent Lin Long and push his dunk back to the floor?
The answer made Olajuwon even more disappointed.
The Raptors had no choice. They could only replace Olajuwon, who had fouled 2 times, so that his stamina and foul count could be reserved for a more important time.
But what the Raptors did not expect was that there was no important time and key moment in this game!
Lin Long and his teammates are obviously not prepared to let the reverie of this round of the series continue. Not only Lin Long played very aggressively, he kept rushing to the inside and attacking the weaknesses of the Raptors.
Even Rasheed, who has always disliked melee in the interior, prefers floating shots, and Payton, who prefers mid-range after getting older, has begun to keep hitting the interior and the basket!
This style of play quickly overwhelmed the Raptors. Whether it was Antonio Davis or Walker, who temporarily moved to the 4 position, they all encountered foul trouble, and the problem on the defensive end soon appeared. The offense that the Raptors depend on for a living.
Excessive investment and consumption on the defensive end made Aaron, Walker and others feel no longer in touch, and frequently hit the iron.
At the beginning, Carter, who was able to score points by his physical fitness and ability, soon began to get lost under Lin Long's close defense!
In this game, the difference between the two sides in the first quarter was only 5 points, which made people feel that the Raptors still had hope, but before the second quarter was halfway through, the difference came to 15 points, and by the end of the third quarter , the difference has come to 25 points again!
The Celtics firmly control the advantage on the scene. The Raptors, both players and fans, after the initial joy and encouragement, soon their enthusiasm and belief are getting worse and worse, whether it is fighting spirit or cheering for the home team. The cries were getting smaller and smaller.
The most obvious is the fans who gathered outside the arena. These die-hard fans who did not buy tickets and were just generating electricity for their love, at the end of the third quarter, I don't know who took the lead and quickly dispersed.
They no longer believe the team can still compete with the Celtics!
In the end, this life-and-death battle for the Raptors ended with a 23-point victory over the Celtics at 110:87.
The Celtics got match point once again, with only one last game left to advance!
In this game, Lin Long once again played his role in setting the sea, scoring 51 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in the whole game. Among them, only free throws were made. Lin Long got 21 free throws and hit 20 of them. From this data alone, we can see Lin Long's determination to hit the inside line!
3 games series, 2 games 50 points, Lin Long once again telling all those who think he's seen through and it's getting harder and harder to score, you're talking nonsense!
It's not that I can't score, it's that no team deserves to make me score crazy! If needed, I'm Lin Long, the most horrible scoring machine in the league!
On the Raptors' side, when faced with a desperate situation of 3-0, the toughness they had always been proud of was finally unable to hold back. In the fourth game, the players of the Raptors went from state to body language to the court. The exchanges on the Internet have all become lackluster, even if they have Olajuwon in charge, even if they have a superstar like Carter and a grassroots genius like Aron who never gives up.
The morale of the Raptors can't stand it anymore!
In the fourth 880th game, the Raptors suffered a serious blow from the very beginning. The Celtics' attack was like a tidal wave, constantly impacting their psychological defense.
The Raptors, however, had no one to give an effective response from top to bottom. Soon, the Raptors fell behind to a point where they couldn't catch up and didn't want to catch up.
Game 4 turned into the most boring and unsuspenseful game in the entire series, and the Celtics mastered the absolute initiative from the first minute of the game!
The Raptors hardly gave any strong counterattacks. Carter made 5 of 18 shots, Walker made 6 of 16 shots, Olajuwon made 1 of 7 shots, and Davis was only 3 of 10 shots. The entire Raptors were lost.
If there's one person on the Raptors who can leave this game with their heads held high, it's Aaron!
Aaron has been scoring frantically, constantly breaking through, shooting, trying to save the team, and finally he also got a career-high 41 points, but he was alone, unable to fight the Celtics at all.
The Raptors, in the end, lost cleanly by 23 points and were swept out by the Celtics.
