"Calm down, calm down, be sure to stay calm!!"

"How many times do you want me to say it? On the field, you must be calm and not be easily angered by the trash words on the other side."

"All of this comes from the opponent's strategy. After all, the players on the opponent's back line, whether Sue, Allen, or Michael, are all well-known thorns in the league."

"So remember, no matter what behavior the other party wants to anger us on the court, we should not be fooled easily."

"As long as we can ensure fair competition on the field, it will be difficult for the other party to defeat us easily."

During the suspension, Celtics head coach Doug Rivers also shouted at the players in three.

As Rivers said, since the Magic traded Iverson, this has also led to some well-known gangster players in the league on the back line of the Magic.

Among them, Allen Iverson and Michael Pitrus are two players. It is natural to say that the former is a well-known cancer in the league and a thug, while the latter is a thug of the Golden State gangster back then.

In addition, although he has just entered the league this year, Su Jiu, who has long been famous for his trash talk and verbal skills.

This also makes the current Magic Defense line form a well-known thorn combination in the league.

After all, although Su Jiu just entered the league this year, he is still just a rookie rookie.

However, there are countless stars he has criticized on the court, including Tony Parker, Flash Wade, and General Arenas.

So before the game, Doug Rivers repeatedly reminded this because Rivers was afraid that the Magic would use some despicable methods, which would lead to the collapse of the Celtics' internal affairs.

After all, if he really loses against the opponent on the field, Rivers can only sigh that his skills are inferior to others.

But if the team loses due to some special circumstances, Rivers will definitely regret it.

After returning from the timeout, the current situation on the court between the two sides has become increasingly fierce. Even though both sides are gradually making some anger, both sides are also patient.

Because once who takes action first at this time, no one can afford this outcome.

In the next game of the first quarter, Su Jiu also interfered with Rondo on the offensive end, and just spoke Zuan's words and said nothing.

I want to use this method to make Rondo lose his mind and make some mistakes that should not be made.

However, Su Jiu obviously underestimated the comprehensive ability of this Celtics. Even in this case, the Celtics only increased their defense strength on the defensive end and did not further extreme behavior.

In the end, after the end of the first quarter, the Celtics played away from home in several substitution adjustments by the head coaches of both sides:

19:17

He led the Magic by two points and ended the first quarter between the two sides.

In the first quarter, the scores of both sides were very low, because they were given enough defensive strength.

This also makes it extremely difficult for both sides to complete the score on the offensive end, whether it is the Celtics or the Magic.

Especially for the Magic, the two points of Howard and Iverson, who are usually the most reliant, have been subject to some restrictions in this game.

Naturally, Howard needs no more. When facing the fat man Perkins in the inside, Howard's physical advantage was weakened by more than 70%.

Therefore, when the technology is not comprehensive, Howard's offensive efficiency is completely reduced by the naked eye.

As for Aaron Iverson, the same is true for Aaron Iverson. Due to his age, Iverson has long lost his extraordinary speed at his peak.

So when facing Ray Allen's personal defense, Iverson could no longer easily blow it up like he was at his peak.

The most important thing is that in order to better defend in this game, the coaching staff promoted Amir Johnson to the starting lineup, so this led to a significant decline in the Magic's offensive choice and ability on the offensive end.

However, even though the team encountered some trouble on the offensive end, the Magic also played their own bloody performance on the defensive end.

Facing the Celtics, which have the Big Four, the Magic's defense in this game was very good.

Whether in terms of defensive intensity or defensive attitude, both sides can be said to have staged an epic battle.

This is also the main reason why no team scored 20 after the first quarter, and even the total scores of both sides were only 36 points.

As for 17 points in a single quarter, it also set a new low for the Magic in the playoffs this season.

After the first quarter, Su Jiu, who was sitting off the court, was gasping for breath, was wiping sweat with a towel while quickly explaining something to the little plum beside him.

As for the little Lizi beside him, he listened carefully to the defensive skills his friends told him.

After all, Courtney Li already felt a little used to this behavior of giving Little Little Li a small meal alone during this whole season.

Although I always feel a little strange at the beginning, because both of them are rookies who have just entered the league this season, Su Jiu's mind was so thoroughly analyzed?!

He even often corrects some low-level mistakes made by Li Zi on the field.

The most annoying thing is that in the late stage of the season, even assistant coach Mondy often came to have some tactical discussions with Su Jiu.

This simply refreshed Courtney Lee's three views. He once suspected that he was a fucking fake rookie!!

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides also replaced most of the substitute lineups to compete.

In fact, in terms of the original lineup depth, the gap between the Magic and the Celtics is not very big.

Because the Celtics also sat on the bench with Eddie House, Tony Allen and the big baby Davis.

However, as Van Gundy surprisingly put Lewis on the bench in this game, this led to some obvious gaps between the two sides in a confrontation of the substitute lineup in the second quarter.

After all, Lewis is a real All-Star player and one of the few billion-dollar men in the league.

Let Lewis lead the second team to fight, which is simply a luxury.

So as soon as the second quarter came, the Magic team led by Lewis took the lead in launching a fierce counterattack.

Although the Celtics have Tony Allen, who has excellent defensive skills on the bench, even if Tony Allen has excellent defensive skills, he cannot misplace the defense of Rashad Lewis.

After all, one of these two people is 1.93 meters tall, and the other one is 2.08 meters tall. This 15-centimeter height difference allows Lewis to easily pull out the Tony Allen.

As time goes by on the court, the Magic not only successfully surpassed the score under the personal leadership of Lewis, but also had a tendency to gradually increase the score.

Seeing this situation, Celtics head coach Rivers was completely unable to sit still.

You should know that the reason why the playoffs are called the personal stage of stars is that in any more intense game, the playing time of stars will begin to rise sharply.

Even playing for more than 40 minutes per game is common.

The reason for this is precisely because substitutes cannot control the situation after they come on the court.

So the head coach had to let the stars take a short break and continue to return to the court to control the game.

When Rivers saw the situation on the court gradually becoming unfavorable, Doug Rivers began to get back the main lineup as soon as the dead ball stage.

After all, it is already a competition in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, and Rivers is also not sure of winning in this round of series matchup, so any turmoil has become extremely important to both teams.

Seeing the substitution adjustments on the Celtics, Stan Van Gundy didn't dare to be careless at all.

Although the lineup is still relatively smooth on the court, when the main players of the Celtics gradually returned to the court, Van Gundy had to take the corresponding players back on the court.

In fact, it cannot be blamed for Stan? Van Gundy for using people is rather cliché, because in this strong dialogue in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the head coach's trust in the main players must be far more than that of the substitutes.

This is also the main reason why all teams will minimize personnel rotation in the playoffs.

As the players of both sides gradually return to the court, the game on the court has now entered a white-hot stage.

For a single battle for ball rights, they can roll all over the ground, and there are countless trash talks and whispers between players.

Even the Magic's Amir Johnson, who was in charge of Garnett in this game, was already angry with Garnett to the extreme.

This also led to the two men's positioning movements at the basket becoming increasingly larger, causing the home referee to blew the whistle frequently in the second quarter, making the game intermittent and not smooth at all.

It’s not because the referee wants to force the show, but in the fierce physical confrontation between the two sides, the melee movements between each other have become more and more intense.

If the referee does not blew up several fouls in time, it will make the two sides angry.

Then it may not take long to see the first round of the semi-finals turn into a mutual European war.

Not to mention anything else, the trash talk showdown between Rondo and Su Jiu alone has reached a white-hot stage.

If Amir Johnson was squirting about Garnett's trash talk, due to the status gap between them, he might still have great constraints in his heart.

During the game, I dare not squirt back or conflict with it, so I can only express my anger in my usual positioning movements.

However, for Su Jiu, this is not a problem at all. As long as you dare to criticize me, no matter who you are, I will definitely have to spray back.

Although Su Jiu was also afraid of being beaten, as long as the opponent dared to strike hard, Su Jiu had to teach him a good lesson with practical actions.

Tell him what life is like, it all depends on acting!!

Just as the two sides were in a very excited stadium battle, after the half, the Magic also successfully moved the score to the top with the Jedi counterattack from the substitute lineup:

38:38

flat.

At the moment when the midfield ended, the players from both sides followed the head coach and walked towards the player passages on both sides.

However, every player seemed to have a hint of ferocity on his face. Judging from the momentum shown by both sides, the second half of the game is destined not to be dull.

Su Jiu, who had been performing very thorny on the court before, fell into silence at this moment.

Because this game allowed Su Jiu to truly see what the defensive intensity is, and the gap between the playoffs and the regular season is even more obvious.

Even when the confrontation between himself and Rondo was already very fierce, the referee did not call any punishment.

At this time, Su Jiu would feel a little confused and impatient.

Damn it, what if I had agreed to lose my clothes?!

I promised to touch my beard and make a foul?!
