There is a big difference between entering the first round of the playoffs in third place and fourth place.

The Eastern Conference is severely polarized. The top five teams are all very strong, but the sixth place is a bit stretched starting from the beginning.

If the third place is ranked, it will be easy to face the sixth place in the first round, while the fourth place will have to face the fifth place. The strength is too close, and it is destined to be a bloody battle.

The Heat definitely don’t want fourth place, and it would be best to get into third place.

Therefore, both sides attach great importance to this game.

The Celtics’ record this season is still at the forefront of the Eastern Conference. The Big Three consisting of Ray Allen, Pierce, and Garnett are very powerful. They are very stable on both ends of the offense and defense, especially on the defensive end, averaging only 93.8 points per game. No. 1 defense in the league.

Under the leadership of Garnett, the Celtics’ defense is very tight from inside to outside.。

……

TD North Shore Garden locker room.

Head coach Spoelstra constantly emphasized the tactics of this game.

There was no need for Spoelstra to elaborate on the importance. Everyone listened very carefully.

The Heat’s record in the second half of the regular season is getting better and better, and the conflicts in the locker room have been suppressed by the team’s victory. Now everyone wants to make a big splash in the playoffs.

Wade and Haslem also often tell the Heat’s young players about their 2006 championship.

For the current Heat, they can’t wait to repeat this thing.

In terms of Spoelstra’s tactical arrangement, the offensive end is still dominated by Zhou Chen and Wade’s backcourt drive. On the defensive end, what Zhou Chen needs to do is to limit Rondo’s passing and try not to let him connect the team.

Zhou Chen also put forward his own opinions when arranging defensive tactics.

Zhou Chen hopes that everyone will miss Rondo’s shots and focus on attacking the Big Three.

Coach Spoelstra hesitated and chose to adopt Zhou Chen’s opinion.

Rondo’s shooting is indeed bad enough, and it’s not a big problem to let him shoot.

eight pm.

The Heat enjoyed boos from their home fans when they took the field.

The Heat have been the hottest team in the past month or so. They are invincible and have shown the temperament of a championship.

This is completely different from the last time the Celtics faced the Heat.

The last time the Heat visited TD North Shore Garden Arena, Zhou Chen had not yet played, sitting on the bench watching the Heat being slaughtered by the Celtics.

There is also a lot of focus in this game.

Zhou Chen and Rondo’s mutual quarrel.

Although the two had no private conflicts, the media portrayed Zhou Chen and Rondo as if they were really in conflict.

Zhou Chen and Rondo did not stop the media from spreading the hot spots, because although they did not have conflicts, they did see each other’s displeasure from afar.

After the appearance ceremony on the court, Rondo stared at Zhou Chen closely for a while.

Rondo has studied Zhou Chen’s videos, and Rondo dare not underestimate Zhou Chen. After all, it is rare in NBA history to have a player with such outstanding scoring ability in his rookie season.

It’s just that this rookie’s limelight and popularity are a bit too much. After playing for so many years, Rondo’s accumulated popularity is far less than Zhou Chen.

This is very distressing.

We are both in the East, so there are empty seats, and Zhou Chen never trades business with Rondo. This also caused Rondo to have a little resentment. Rondo also wanted to educate Zhou Chen tonight.。

………….

“Paul, Kevin, if you have the chance, you can take advantage of that rookie’s mismatch. ”

During the simple repair period after the appearance ceremony, Rondo found Pierce and said to Gar

“no problem。”

“OK。”

Garnett and Pierce did not reject Rondo’s suggestion.

Although Zhou Chen’s defense is very strong, they don’t think Zhou Chen can guard them. This is a misplacement.

Visiting team’s bench.

Coach Spoelstra shouted again: “Guys, this is a key game. We need to prepare for the playoffs. Everyone must try their best to win!” The opponent

is the Celtics, a super strong team. If a team doesn’t work together, it’s normal to lose.。

“Must win!”

“Must win! ”

The Heat are in high spirits!

Celtics starting lineup: Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett.

Heat starting lineup: Zhou Chen, Wade, Richardson, Joel Anthony, O’Neal Jr.

Beasley performed poorly some time ago and has been sent to the bench. It is still a bit difficult for this former No. 2 pick to adapt to the NBA. Fox

Sports, CATV and other TV stations have conducted coverage of this game. live broadcast。

“Charles, who do you think will win this game? asked Kenny Smith.。

“It’s hard to say, it depends on Zhou’s performance. The last time the two teams faced off, without Zhou, the Heat lost a lot of points. The difference between tonight and that night is whether Zhou is on the court or not. Zhou is a reliable offensive point with the ball, even if Wei Wei When De is not on the court, he can still lead the team. “Barkley said.

Since Zhou Chen wore women’s clothing to commentate, Barkley is now a genuine Zhou Chen fan.

When the commentator was talking about the situation of the two teams, the game started.

Olney Jr. and Perkins jumped the ball .

Perkins jumped to win.

The Celtics attacked first.

Rondo advanced steadily, and Zhou Chen followed up.

Rondo held the ball very steadily, without too many flaws. When Rondo paid special attention to Zhou Chen’s steal , Zhou Chen was not easy to stop.

Rondo lobbed the ball directly to Pierce in the low post.

Pierce stuck Richardson and wanted to stay in position.

Pierce is a good low-post attacker and has very comprehensive offensive skills. He likes this kind of sit-down game. Play one.

After continuously beating Richardson, Pierce chose to turn over and lean back.

Pierce’s rhythm was out of step with Richardson’s defensive rhythm, and the goal was scored.

0 to 2.

Heat offense.

Zhou Chen passed the halfway mark Give the ball to Wade after the court.

With Wade on the court, Zhou Chen does not need to attack from beginning to end. The Heat’s opening tactics are for Wade.

Wade uses Joel Anthony’s screen to step in.

Garnett With Perkins firmly guarding the inside, Wade did not break through, but found a small opening and made a pull-up jumper from the high post.。

“frame! ”

Wade’s offensive method is not safe.

The rebound was protected by Garnett.

Wade’s poor start affected the Heat’s offense.

In the first 5 minutes of the first quarter, Zhou Chen did not attack much, and the score It was 6 to 15.

Under Rondo’s supervision, Ray Allen and Pierce played vigorously, and the point difference was quickly widened.

Coach Spoelstra stopped the game and rearranged the tactics.。

“Coming to the away game, Wade’s state was a little lost. He fell into the trap of the Celtics. Too many outside shots made his offensive efficiency low.。”

“Zhou Chen was heavily targeted and was even flanked by two people when no one was guarding him.。”

“The Heat still have too few offensive threats, so they dare to flank Zhou Chen so unscrupulously.。”

“The main problem is still that Wade has not opened up this point, and Joel Anthony, O’Neal and others have not helped Zhou Chen form enough containment. This is also related to Spoelstra’s tactical arrangement. Next, the Heat should let Zhou Chen focus on the attack. ”

CATV’s Director Zhang and Director Xu were discussing the situation on the court.

The Heat rarely got into trouble at the beginning.。
