Chapter 324 Like a god helping the Spurs! The Celtics' winning streak ends?
After a brief period of confusion, the referees, although they were able to determine that Barkley didn't mean it, simply ejected him from the field.
No way, the referees dare not let this behavior go.
If it is not severely punished, in case anyone follows this kind of accident to deal with the referee, they don't have the body of an athlete to play head-to-head with basketball.
After watching the replay, even the Celtics' bench were holding back their laughter. They pursed their lips and forcibly remained serious, comforting Barkley, who was ejected.
Popovich was excited at this time.
Without Barkley and without Billups and others, the Celtics have completely become Lin Long's one-man team!
His Spurs team is not afraid of a one-man team!
Popovich immediately shouted from the sidelines, and the Spurs changed their defense again!
The double-teaming of Lin Long was even tighter. There were two people standing in front of Lin Long almost every moment. Easy shots or pull-up jumpers, as for breakthroughs, Elliott can't prevent them, and he's not ready to defend them.
He left these tasks to his trusted teammates, Mario Ellie and Avery Johnson, who would appear on Lin Long's route at any time, and still did not release the 457. What they had to do was to slow down Lin Long's progress. The speed reduces his impact, and finally there are the insiders Duncan and David Robinson. These two insider combinations can contribute nearly 6 blocks per game, becoming the last line of defense to block Lin Long, not letting him easily Score.
As for the rest of the Celtics, whether it's Aaron Bryant or Dell Curry, they've been completely let go by the Spurs!
Su Jun frowned and analyzed:
"This defensive formation is nothing new. The Bulls and Jazz in the playoffs last year played this level of defense against Lin Long. Although they do not have the mechanical precision and rigorous defensive rotation of the Spurs. , but they have elite perimeter defenders that the Spurs don't have, and in terms of intensity, it's a tie."
"But all the teams that used this kind of defense against Lin Long have failed in the end. They couldn't restrain Lin Long, and they were easily found by the Celtics' perimeter group. Die. Just wonder, what will the Spurs have in return today?"
Yang Jian said on the side: "This kind of defense, to put it badly, is actually a prayer-type defense. While trying to lock up Lin Long, he prayed that everyone else wouldn't make an open shot. But this is the Celtics, The league's #1 insane offensive team in offense (dbdd).
In addition to Lin Long, the team's Bruce Bowen and Dell Curry's 3-point shooting rate exceeded 43%, Billups and Lewis' 3-point shooting rate also reached 40%, and even their main insiders Rasheed Wallace, also shot 38 percent from the field. 35
"This kind of shooting army, you have to bet all of them can't make a shot, the probability is too small. This is also the reason why all other teams have failed in this defense in the end, but tonight, the Celtics' attrition Seriously, they're missing 3 men in their starting lineup and their ace sixth man Barkley is definitely the best chance! Let's see how lucky the Spurs are tonight.
The Spurs' luck tonight is really good!
In the second quarter, Lin Long faced double-teams every time, or chose to attack by himself or give the ball to his teammates to let them shoot open shots. But tonight, San Antonio's basket seems to be locked on all Celtics shooters.
Whether it's Curry, Lewis or Bowen and Aaron, they can't make a single shot in the second quarter!
Not even just 3 points, Lewis' mid-range shot, Aaron's break-through throw, and even Curry and Bowen's cut layup were all rejected by the basket and the Spurs' twin towers.
In the whole second quarter, except for Big Ben's dunk and tipped at the basket, who scored 6 points, Lin Long was the only one in the Celtics to score!
Lin Long maintained his firepower in the second quarter. In the face of endless double-teams, Lin Long still hit 2 3-pointers and several shots in this quarter, and scored 22 points again in the whole quarter.
If the Spurs' feel was infected by the Celtics generals, then 22 points in this single quarter is definitely enough.
But the problem is that the Spurs not only didn't get the bad touch from the Celtics, but they looked like they had absorbed the Celtics' touch.
In the second quarter, they had almost no missed shots, made 8 of 8 shots from beyond the 3-point line, and the overall shooting rate of the whole quarter was as high as 87%, and they scored a crazy 51 points!
This is their highest single-quarter scoring of the season, and even the highest single-quarter scoring in the history of the entire team, and at the same time, the single-quarter hit rate of 87% broke the single-quarter hit record in the entire league history!
The Spurs had an epic second quarter.
71:46.
The Spurs ended the first half with a 25-point advantage, the whole San Antonio cheered and their fans were so excited to end the Celtics' super streak and not let them make history on themselves, it's worth every Proud and proud Spurs fans!
With a 25-point advantage, the Celtics are short of major generals. Almost everyone believes that the Celtics have exhausted their last strength and energy and will end their winning streak tonight.
Although Lin Long once again scored 32 points in the first half, it is difficult for him to change the direction of the game.
After all, the Celtics are facing the team that is best at playing the downwind and best able to maintain their lead!
Even many locals in Boston think that the Celtics' winning streak is about to end here, and many people have even begun to console themselves.
Although he didn't have an exclusive record, it's not bad to be able to share the league's winning streak with the old enemy Lakers.
There are also some Celtic fans who turned off the TV sadly at the midfield. If it was the Celtics who played in full, the fans would still have enough patience and trust to wait for the team to create a miracle.
But now there is only Lin Long left among the five All-Stars. The state of everyone except Lin Long and Big Ben is extremely poor. In the second quarter, there is not even a third person who can score even a single sports goal!
During the halftime break, Popovich suppressed his excitement. He resisted his temper and continued to vaccinate every player, asking them not to relax, to tighten up, and never to relax.
After all, if the Spurs are the best team to hold the lead and play the tailwind.
Then Lin Long must be the person who can play against the wind and reverse the most!
That crazy comeback against the Bulls in the Eastern Conference finals last year speaks for itself!
In the Celtics locker room, Lin Long had a gloomy face. Although he scored 30 points in the first half, it was not smooth and uncomfortable at all.
The Spurs' style is so annoying and unpleasant.
After waiting for Byrd to get a big boost of morale and let everyone keep trying not to give up.
Lin Long stood up suddenly, looked at everyone and said: "Everyone has a time when they can't make a shot, it's normal, there's no need to blame yourself.
"But tonight since the brothers are not in shape, then give me the ball in the third quarter, give me every ball, and I will bring the league's first winning streak to you!
After Lin Long finished speaking, without saying anything else, he sat back in the chair and began to tie the bandages on his feet.
In the second half of the game, Lin Long had to go all out and use all his strength to attack and break the Spurs' defense!
