The Celtics have also made adjustments to the lineup, with the five players on the court: Brandon Bass, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Avery Bradley and Marquez Daniels.

On the Hawks, Wu Feng and McGrady partnered in the backcourt, Anthony Moro and Josh Smith on the front line, and Zaza Pachulia on the center.

The Celtics' offense at the start of the second quarter was quite good, and Paul Pierce's consecutive scoring gave the Hawks a headache.

Seeing Paul Pierce succeeding again and again, Wu Feng was quite helpless. Defending Rajon Rondo was already quite struggling. If he defended "truth", he would definitely have no spare energy on the offensive end.

"Bang", Garnett's hands banged, and then let out a roar.

The Hawks passed the ball several times in a row and never got a chance to shoot. Marvin Williams forced a shot near the free throw line, but the arc of the ball was a bit high and the ball hit the back edge of the ring.

"Bang", Wu Feng jumped up and knocked the ball into one hand.

"Incredible, Wu completed an amazing patch, which was so exciting." DJ's roar on the scene motivated the emotions of all the fans.

Wu Feng's slam dunk boosted the morale of the Hawks, while the morale of the Celtics took a blow.

Taking advantage of the high morale, the Hawks played a 11:3 climax, forcing the Celtics to request a timeout.

Everyone on the Hawks' bench stood up and slapped Wu Feng one by one. The ball they had just watched was full of enthusiasm off the court. If the substitute players hadn't been able to play, they would have already rushed forward.

"Good job." Larry Drew also stepped forward with relief and patted his shoulder.

After the timeout, the Hawks replaced the pure starting lineup, center Al Horford, power forward Josh Smith, small forward Marvin Williams, shooting guard Cork Hinrich, and organizational defender Wu Feng.

Kevin Garnett's inside pass assisted Brandon Bass to score a layup.

Wu Feng broke through with the ball and cut to the basket to prepare for a layup, but Avery Bradley suddenly appeared and directly knocked Wu Feng out from the side.

Wu Feng had just passed Rajon Rondo, and his body's center of gravity had not been adjusted yet. He was lucky to have not flew out of bounds after such a violent impact.

The referee naturally had to call the Celtics' defensive foul. However, Avery Bradley was obviously dissatisfied and chased behind the referee, constantly drawing his own movements just now, and talking nonstop.

"Drip", another technical foul.

"Swish", the basketball hit the net, bringing a wave of white waves, and Phillips Arena cheered.

For Wu Feng, the free throw is equivalent to helping him with extra points out of thin air. Wu Feng will naturally not miss three free throw opportunities.

The Celtics have significantly strengthened their defense against Wu Feng. As long as the ball reaches his hands, at least two players will come forward to double-team, and they don’t care much about these Wu Feng. The more defensive players they attract, the easier it will be for the teammates to play.

However, the Celtics' defense has been strengthened, and the small movements of defensive players have also increased significantly. Just now, Avery Bradley flew to the ground. Then Brandon Bass and their defenses have become a bit fierce.

Larry Drew saw something was wrong and immediately asked other players to come forward to respond.

Many fans at the scene booed the Celtics with dissatisfaction, but the referee was helpless. In his opinion, the Celtics' defense was indeed a little rough, but there was no obvious foul.

What's more, this is the playoffs, and physical confrontation is naturally much more intense than the regular season.

"Clang", Cork Hinrich's three-point shot missed, and the rest just now did not make him feel regained his touch. The Celtics' urgent defense made him lose the rhythm of shooting, and his two consecutive blackshots made his expression look very ugly.

Brandon Bass easily took off the defensive rebound and quickly passed the ball to Rajon Rondo.

At this time, the Celtics players had already retreated quickly, and the Celtics had a lot of experience in their defensive counterattacks this season, especially Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce were on the court at the same time.

The pass was not accurate, but it was very good. At this time, the basket was two-on-two. Rajon Rondo rose from the ground near the free throw line, but Marvin Williams blocked his shooting position with his outstanding explosive power.

The wrist suddenly sank, and the ball hit the floor and quickly bounced to the inside. At this time, Kevin Garnett had already slipped into the inside. With a sway, Kevin Garnett pulled the position of the attack, moved and moved, gently raised his left foot, and the whole person soared into the narrow space under the basket. He gently hooked his wrist and the ball slid through an arc while rising.

"pretty!"

Even Wu Feng had to admire him. Unexpectedly, with Kevin Garnett's style of playing, he could score such a delicate goal. The entire goal process was smooth and simple, and the movements were simple and effective.

"Drip", the referee's whistle sounded a little slow, and the players on both sides looked at the referee in confusion, not knowing who he was blowing.

"The Eagles' No. 15 defensive foul, the goal is counted, and one free throw is added."

The referee's judgment made Al Horford feel extremely aggrieved. The successive misses in front have already made him feel very unstable. The referee's whistle blow completely ignited his anger.

Al Horford ran to the referee angrily and began to chatter.

Wu Feng's head suddenly became bigger. The referee just now was near the free throw line. He may not be able to see some details under the basket clearly. If there is a misjudgment, just watch the live video.

Unexpectedly, Al Horford, who was usually honest and kind, had such a big temper at once.

Seeing the referee's face darkened, Wu Feng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him. This was the second quarter. If the referee was offended now, the next game would be difficult to play. You should know that many controversial judgments on the basketball court are the standards in the referee's own mind. Offending the referee on the court is the stupidest behavior.

Fortunately, the referee only warned Al Horford a few words and did not call a technical foul. Wu Feng and Larry Drew's heart were put down.

However, Larry Drew still called a timeout. Al Horford's performance today was very abnormal and he was more excited.

"Al. Adjust your mentality and play steadily." Al Horford's performance disappointed him, Larry Drew, but he could not criticize him, so he could only encourage him.

At this moment, the Eagles are still temporarily leading the opponent by 3 points with 54:51.

The two teams played a wonderful offensive and defensive battle in the second quarter, and the scores were always tight. The Hawks were everywhere, and the players on the court scored points. The one with the most scores was Wu Feng's 11 points, and the Celtics' scores were also relatively scattered. Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo each scored eight points, and Paul Pierce is currently the only player in the Celtics to score in double digits, with more than 16 points.

The team's defensive performance made Larry Drew not satisfied. He never had to doubt the team's offensive ability.

Larry Drew's confidence is not without basis. Kevin Garnett will become the main target of the Hawks' attack. Kevin Garnett's physical strength is not enough to support a 48-minute game. Comparing physical strength, the Hawks will definitely have an advantage.

The halftime break passed quickly. The cheerleaders' wonderful performances could not attract the attention of fans. Everyone was exchanging their experience in the first half. It was indeed such a close-knit offensive and defensive battle. Even in the playoffs, it was rare.

Both sides fought in different places.

The Hawks took the lead in obtaining offensive power. Avery Bradley's main task in the first half was to defend Wu Feng, but Wu Feng's main energy in the first half was to focus on combination and defense, and several attempts were also the open positions he chose. Avery Bradley was simply unable to do so.

So far, he is still very physically strong, and he feels a little embarrassed when he looks at a sweaty teammate.

With his right hand gently raised, Avery Bradley shook his head helplessly. In his eyes, Wu Feng was simply a living loach, and his defense that he had tried was almost useless in front of him.

The basketball did not pass as expected. Avery Bradley roared in despair. The misjudgment made him not ready for defense. In addition, the distance between the two could only watch Wu Feng easily make a three-pointer long shot.

"Swish", with a crisp sound of touching the net, Wu Feng smiled and threw himself into defense. Wu Feng has been very confident in his own shooting since he started training in the virtual space.

Persistence, hard work, and never give up, this is the true portrayal of Wu Feng's training. Wu Feng's achievements today are inseparable from his hard training. In the team's daily training, he was almost the first to attend the court, but the last to leave.

The half-time game has gradually adapted to the Hawks' defense. With his flexible footsteps and strong physical fitness, his power under the basket has gradually been shown.

Larry Drew's defensive tactics against Kevin Garnett were very successful in the first half, but he did not make proper adjustments. The Celtics had more high-altitude passes in the pass to the inside, and with Kevin Garnett's experience, he naturally had room to play.

With Kevin Garnett and Brandon Buss scored consecutively at the basket, Larry Drew had to readjust the roster.

Josh Smith returned to the court. He played in less than ten minutes in the first half. He did not contribute much to the team on offense and could not defend Kevin Garnett's offense at all.

But the situation is different now. Physical strength has always been an important factor limiting Kevin Garnett's performance. It is most appropriate to defend Garnett at this moment.

Seeing that the team gradually gained the initiative in the game, Larry Drew finally smiled on his face.

In the second half, the Celtics captain Paul Pierce did not perform well in the first half.

The Hawks strengthened their defense against him, and in addition to Marvin Williams, who was defending him, Josh Smith was also defending him.

"Bang", Avery Bradley's passing timing was very good, using the inside to restrain the Hawks' defense, pretending to shoot attracted the attention of several Hawks players.

However, when the ball was about to take action, Bradley chose to pass the ball, with the goal of Paul Pierce in the open position.

However, his intentions have been seen through by Wu Feng.

Wu Feng suddenly broke out in the air and broke the ball.

Seeing this, Paul Pierce was shocked, and then, with rich experience, he immediately responded.

However, how could he, who is already thirty-five years old, catch up with Wu Feng's speed?

But Paul Pierce would not let Wu Feng easily score at the basket. He chased after him with all his might, then grabbed Wu Feng and stopped him from taking action.

However, Wu Feng threw the ball out the moment he committed a foul.

"Drip", and at this time, the referee's whistle also blew.

"Bang, bang, bang"

"Swish"

What everyone did not expect was that Wu Feng's unprepared move actually made an invasion.

The ball jumped on the basket a few times and then fell into the basket.

Wu Feng couldn't help laughing, and all the fans of the audience cheered for him.

With Wu Feng's free throw, the Hawks finally expanded the lead score to double digits.

Wu Feng's goal obviously once again increased the morale of the whole team, and the Hawks players all played well in the next time.

On the other hand, Paul Pierce was locked and Rajon Rondo was defensively defended by Wu Feng. Although Garnett succeeded in continuous attacks, he alone was obviously unable to fight the Hawks.

…………

When four minutes and fifty-one left in the last quarter, the Hawks still led the Celtics 16 points with 90:74.

With a sixteen-point lead, and there are less than five minutes left in the game. With the Eagles' current state, as long as there is no major mistake, the game will basically be won.

However, as long as the game is not over, anything can happen on the court.

Especially for an experienced team like the Celtics, they have not failed to make a successful comeback at the last minute of the game, so the Hawks must not capsize the ship in the gutter.

That's true, the Celtics did not give up the game because of the sixteen-point gap.

Doug Rivers did not replace the main players, but Paul Pierce and the others were still playing.

"Swish", Paul Pierce made a three-pointer, instantly narrowing the gap to less than ten.

However, Wu Feng then returned a two-plus one, helping the Hawks stabilize the situation.

In the end, the Hawks withstood the Celtics' crazy counterattack at the last minute and won the game 114:106.
Chapter completed!
