Chapter 450 Return from suspension! Celtics set sail again! 【Subscription】
The Lakers' trade after the All-Star Game was quite a sensation!
The entire league wants to see how the chemistry goes when they get Miller.
They didn't wait too long. Three games after the All-Star break, Kobe and O'Neal finally ended their 15-game suspensions and returned to the game.
In the first game of the 3-person team, facing the Spurs, the top team in the league, they played a terrifying offensive firepower!
They played the game in just 2 quarters, and in the third quarter they led by as much as 46 points-!
In the face of Kobe Miller-O'Neal's connection, Popovich's team defense and rotation system that Popovich is good at can't do anything at all. He can only watch them score recklessly and end the game.
In the end, none of the 3 players who cooperated for the first time played for more than 30 minutes, but they scored 28 points, 12 rebounds, 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 21 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals respectively!
The second-placed Spurs in the West were completely stunned by them!
The Lakers also used this hearty offensive performance show to tell everyone: When the offense reaches a level, it doesn't matter if the defense is weak!
Like the Lakers, the Celtics' Big Ben, Bowen and Billups also lifted the ban. The team showed their importance to the team in this game!
Big Ben scored 6 points, 21 rebounds and 3 blocks, once again making the Celtics' inside line a no-fly zone. Billups scored 15 points, 12 assists and only 1 turnover. The offensive grooming is well organized!
Bowen was the starter, chasing Stephen Marbury's ass to defend the whole game, and defending this hero's 16 shots only 3-for-1.
The three of them are back, which means the Celtics' defense, hardness and organization are back.
The team finally got rid of the situation of only 6 wins in the previous 15 games and 1 win and 4 losses in the last 5 games, and ushered in a wave of 5 consecutive victories.
After the team lost 2 games, and then ushered in a wave of 3-game winning streak.
After this 3-game winning streak, the last member of the team, Lin Long, who was suspended for 25 games, finally came back from the ban!
Lin Long's first game back was against the New York Knicks.
The Knicks also ushered in Ewing's comeback recently. The No. 1 center in the East has been in good shape recently. He led the Knicks to a wave of winning streaks, which is the best moment.
It's a pity that they met Lin Long, who had been holding back for 2 months. In this game, Lin Long didn't keep his hands at all. He scored 21 points in the first quarter, and only scored 15 points after a little retention in the second quarter. , The third quarter broke out again, and scored 29 points, and widened the difference to as many as 21 points.
Lin Long's return to the first game made the entire league recall the fear of being dominated by him, and scored a crazy 65 points in 3 quarters!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the main force of the Celtics did not play.
The Knicks seized the opportunity and used a series of scores to quickly narrow the difference to only 12 points left.
The Knicks' offensive climax even made the home fans of the North Shore Garden celebrate loudly, cheering them on happily!
Because they know that Lin Long is going to break the record!
Sure enough, Lin Long appeared again after the dead ball. After playing, he hit two consecutive 3-pointers, and then he stole Alan Houston.
Only 1 minute after Lin Long played on the court, he played a wave of 8:0 by himself, which widened the point difference to as much as 20 points. Since then, the Knicks finally surrendered completely, and Lin Long did not continue to score points. After playing for another 3 minutes on the court, I easily clocked in and got off work.
In the end, Lin Long scored 73 points!
Almost single-handedly defeated the menacing New York Knicks!
Taking advantage of this big win, Bird announced after the game that Barkley, Rashid and Sprewell had been injured because of too much playing time in the previous two months and were too tired. In the next few games, they will choose to truce to recover from injury.
But judging from his appearance, how could there be any anxiety and unease that many important players of the team were injured at the same time, but instead a face full of self-confidence and randomness.
This is literally telling all the fans directly: the next game, we can win the same without them.
The reason why Bird is so confident is naturally because of Lin Long!
Lin Long didn't disappoint Bird either. In the next game, Lin Long seemed to want to get back all the points he didn't get in these 25 games, and started a crazy personal scoring show.
・・・ Flowers・・・
57 points against the Atlanta Hawks.
Against the Orlando Magic, 61 points.
Against the New Jersey Nets, 45 points.
Against the Canadian duo Raptors and Grizzlies, they scored 41 and 52 points back to back.
After Lin Long's comeback, he used a wave of 6 consecutive 40+ and 6 consecutive victories to announce his full blood return!
At this time, Barkley, Rashid and others who have had enough rest also announced their return to the court!
The return of the main force did not slow down the speed of Lin Long's scoring. Although he never scored 60+ and 70+ points, Lin Long's hands were hot and hot throughout March, and there was no game less than a score in the whole month. 39 points, 15 games of 40+, 7 games of 50+, 2 games of 60+ and one game of 73 points in 16 games throughout the month.
The monthly average score is as high as 48.7 points! It is only one step away from the monthly average of 50 points!
With this kind of performance coupled with the winning percentage, the Player of the Month has finally returned to Lin Long's hands after a lapse of 3 months!
When March finally comes to an end, it also means that the season is coming to an end.
All teams have been able to see where they are at this time.
It will also be decided how to face the competition in the last half month of April.
Is it to fight to the death to reach the playoffs, or to hold on to the current position steadily, or to find a way to lose and meet the 2000 draft?
Every team has an idea and a route for every team.
But for the Celtics, what they have to do next is to do their best to win!
The Celtics' current record is 66 wins and 8 losses, firmly standing in the first position in the East, the second Miami Heat in the East is only 49 wins and 22 losses. Not to mention that the Celtics lost all their next games, even if they deducted 10 more of their previous wins, the Heat would not be able to catch up with the Celtics.
However, although there is no team in the East that can threaten the Celtics' first place in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers in the West have bit the Celtics' tail and still retains the record of overtaking the Celtics at the end of the season. is likely to be large.
