The Godfather of Basketball

"Follow your people! Don't let the Cavaliers play fast break!" Rivers shouted from the sidelines.

Garnett held the ball in the frontcourt, misplaced and hit O'Neal, turned around and made a sharp fallback.

After returning from injury, although his athletic ability has declined, as a historical power forward, he has a strong adjustment ability and his shooting has become more and more exquisite.

4 to 6, the Celtics stabilized the situation.

But it didn't take long for the audience to be happy, James broke through the front court and scored a difficult rebound, and regained the momentum.

Garnett hit James with a dislocation in the frontcourt, turned and leaned back and was disturbed, and the ball went out of the basket.

Wallace grabbed the backcourt rebound and threw it to the outside Matthews. Matthews rushed to the frontcourt and made a layup that caused Rondo's pulling foul.

Made two free throws.

Wallace grabbed the offensive rebound and waved it to Matthews who ran to the bottom corner.

Matthews made another three-pointer.

Another wave of 6 to 0!

12 to 4, the Cavaliers turned away, and the North Shore Garden Arena was silent.

Rivers reached out and called a timeout.

During the timeout, the camera showed the Celtics bench, Rivers did not take the tactical board, but roared angrily at his players.

It could be seen that the situation in front of him made him extremely unhappy.

Thinking about it, the Celtics' lineup is obviously stronger than the Cavaliers' on paper, and they are playing at home. He has an excellent chance to win against Tang Tian, ​​and he definitely can't bear the current situation.

Back from the timeout, the lineups of both sides have not changed.

Rondo took the ball to the front court, and Ray Allen missed a three-pointer through the pick-and-roll, but Pierce rushed to grab an offensive rebound, which caused O'Neal's thug foul.

Pierce went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

This time it was Captain Pierce who took the lead.

Tang Tian stood up at this time and signaled James to pay attention to others.

He had watched the 10-year finals in his previous life, and the scene where Pierce and Kobe played against each other was unforgettable.

With Garnett getting old, the soul of this Celtics team has actually become Pierce.

Matthews missed a three-pointer, and Wallace once again got stuck and grabbed an offensive rebound, causing Perkins' thug foul.

"Roaring Tianzun" has a full sense of presence on the court, and there is a feeling of dreaming back to the top.

With two free throws, the Cavaliers continued to maintain an 8-point lead.

Pierce's misplaced singles, this time James' defense was very fast, forcing Pierce to make a pass error.

The two sides exchanged the ball. James and Wallace played a pick-and-roll in the frontcourt, and returned the ball to Wallace.

Perkins rushed out to defend against the basket, and Wallace squeezed sideways.

Perkins couldn't react, and directly pushed Wallace out of the bottom line.

Wallace reacted quickly and didn't fall down. After standing still, without saying a word, he took the ball and hit Perkins directly, and then directly pushed Perkins with his hands, and his mouth was full of words starting with F.

There was booing.

The temper of "Roaring Tianzun" is still the same when he is old.

The addition of baseline referees failed to stop him.

Perkins was caught in the neck by Wallace's elbow and was sprayed with saliva all over the face.

The referee also rushed over, but did not stop Wallace, and Perkins took the initiative to retreat after being sprayed.

It wasn't until the players on both sides came up that Wallace was pulled away.

The game entered an official timeout, and the two referees wiped their faces and went to the technical stage to watch the replay.

The instant smell of gunpowder on the field made the fans excited.

The photographers at the scene added fuel to the fire and released the reactions of the two coaches.

Rivers was furious, yelling at Wallace from the sidelines.

But Tang Tian didn't move, as if he didn't see it, even though Casey and Cassel rushed to the edge of the bench to protest.

In the previous life, the conflict between Garnett and McDyess was blackmailed by many fans: fight and retreat Garnett.

But in fact, it is a very smart survival rule. When you meet someone who is softer than you, you have to be tough, so that you can get more benefits. When you meet someone who is harder than yourself, there is no need to be tough. Injured or beaten because of the conflict, the gain outweighs the loss.

The team atmosphere is contagious. As the big brother of the team, Garnett naturally teaches his teammates by precept and example. It is not surprising that Perkins' performance just now.

So he wasn't worried that Wallace would suffer a disadvantage at all, and he even felt that doing so would be a good thing for the Cavaliers.

Counseling this kind of thing, no matter how smart you do it, will have a great blow to morale.

After the referee watched the replay of the video, he gave both sides a technical foul.

There was booing.

But it was Perkins who called the troublemaker.

Wallace laughed with his braces on after hearing the call.

In his career, he took the first technical foul in the league, and this time he actually ate it with someone who was in conflict, and he earned a lot of blood.

The technical foul is offset and the Cavaliers continue to have the ball.

James suddenly scored to O'Neal at the basket, O'Neal took the ball and wanted to dunk, Perkins directly hid aside.

"Boom!"

"Shark" dunks vigorously.

There was an uproar at the scene.

There were two consecutive waves of morale depression, and the fans couldn't tell the depression.

Pierce received the ball and hit a three-pointer in the frontcourt to stop the bleeding for the home team.

But looking back, James suddenly scored to the bottom corner Matthews, who immediately responded with a three-pointer.

Pierce hit the iron with a three-pointer, and the Cavaliers played a fast break again. Matthews threw the ball to the backboard in the fast break, and James followed up with a dunk.

The previous conflict gave the Cavaliers a complete boost.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Celtics by 13 points 32 to 19.

In the fierce semi-finals, this is already a considerable point difference.

Under the leadership of Pierce, the Celtics continued to launch counterattacks in the next three quarters, but the Cavaliers had a strong bench and didn't give them a chance.

In the end, the Cavaliers beat the Celtics 102 to 94 in the first game and won the first victory of the series.

Pierce scored 34 points and was powerless.

For the Cavaliers, James steadily contributed 29 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. Matthews, Louis Williams, and Artest all scored in double figures.

Of course, the biggest contributor to the victory in this game is the veteran Rasheed Wallace. He played 30 minutes and contributed a playoff high of 16 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks this season, regardless of Garnett's defense. , or the improvement of the team's momentum, are all visible to the naked eye.

After winning the first victory, the Cavaliers fans cheered.

An Ji said that Tang Tian was not worthy of the best general manager, but with this lineup of young and old, he still won you.

It's that awesome.

Dissatisfied?

If you don't accept it, you can only hold back.

Just after this game ended, the league announced the best general manager candidate for the 2009~2010 season.

Tang Tian received 12 first-place votes, and with a total of 80 points, beat Cole (68 points) to be elected the best general manager of the season.

"When everyone thought that the Cavaliers were a backwater and hopeless, Tang Tian quickly made them competitive in the summer, and when everyone thought that the Cavaliers were going to give up the season, they made progress step by step. In the Eastern Conference Finals, Tang Tian is worthy of the name of turning decay into magic."

The league's official comments are quite down-to-earth.
