Chapter 15 Surprise Victory

At the end of the half, the Celtics entered the locker room with a 15-point advantage. This result was shocking. After all, no one expected that the team considered the worst in the league before the game actually led the best team in the league by 15 points in the first half!

Michael Jordan was even defended by an unknown man and only made 6 of 15 shots in the first half. He made a lot of shots, but his scoring efficiency was very low. ± For Michael Jordan, in this situation, he either was in poor form or met his old opponents Gary Payton or Brian Russell. However, it was obviously neither in this game. The Bulls' opponent was the Celtics, not Gary Payton's supersonics. In the first quarter of this game, Michael Jordan also made consecutive shots. After meeting Bruce Bowen in the middle of the second quarter, he only made one of the numbers, which was obviously defended by Bruce Bowen, the unknown man.

Michael Jordan's abnormal performance on the offensive end is not just Bruce Bowen's defense, but it actually has something to do with Scott Pippen's absence. As the actual organizer of the Bulls, Scott Pippen's absence undoubtedly puts Michael Jordan under greater pressure on the offensive end. And when the Celtics sent a tangled defender, the Bulls' offense fell into stagnation.

Moreover, the deliberate delay in the offensive rhythm made the Bulls' offense even more difficult. On the contrary, the Celtics, their offense was as good as they wanted. Although the success rate was not very high due to cooperation, they were still higher than the Bulls. So at the end of the half, it was no surprise that the Celtics led by 15 points.

Of course, it would be strange if the reporters who predicted the Celtics' miserable defeat before the game would be 15 points ahead in the first half. Some journalists had to admit that this Celtics were different from the Celtics they had thought of before, while others believed that the Celtics could play like this. Perhaps it was just because the Bulls had a problem and the Celtics were lucky.

During the halftime break, the Celtics' locker room was very relaxed. Rick Pitino did not have strict requirements in this game and did not say that he had to win, that is to say, even if the team lost, it would not disappoint some people in the team. What's more, the Celtics are the one who leads now, which is an unexpected surprise.

Rick Pitino glanced at the players who were busy with their own affairs and clapped his hands: "We played well in the first half. Here I want to praise several players. First of all, Joni Lee. Joni helped the team lead the opponent during his appearance. Secondly, Ben Wallace. He did a very good job in controlling the penalty area, which surprised me very much. Of course, the biggest surprise should be Bruce Bowen. Bruce was so embarrassed when he defended Michael Jordan in the second half of the second quarter. I have to say that you have to adjust your playing time."

Rick Pitino said to Bruce Bowen with a smile, and Bruce Bowen, the thin bamboo pole, smiled honestly, making people think he was just an honest player, but the cunning in the corners of his eyes exposed him.

Rick Pitino next arranged the team's tactics in the second half. For the Celtics, what they have to do now is to maintain their current state. Bruce Bowen, who defended Michael Jordan, naturally continued to play, while Tim Thomas, who played the first half, was replaced, and Walter McArty, who had been resting for half a quarter, continued to play.

At the beginning of the second half, the Bulls seemed to have made adjustments and attacked the Celtics at the beginning. The 15-point difference is easy for the Bulls to chase. During the halftime break, Phil Jackson had already given a dead order to the team, not only to win the game, but also to win a big victory!

After the opening, both sides were all the main lineups on the court. Michael Jordan continued to attack the inside. At this time, Bruce Bowen's defense was no longer as sharp as in the first half. However, Michael Jordan's offensive efficiency was still lower than usual, and the Bulls' chasing points was not as fast as expected.

On the Celtics, Joni was not willing to be outdone. The Bulls were slowly narrowing the score difference, but when Joni turned on his personal mode, the Bulls found that the score difference had stabilized, and it did not increase or increase at 12 points!

While the Celtic fans were excited and cheering wildly on the sidelines, the Celtics continued to stabilize the situation on the field and control the rhythm of the entire game. Finally, at the end of the game, the Celtics won by 15 points at home 107:92. For the Celtics players, the victory of this game undoubtedly vented their dissatisfaction throughout the summer!

Throughout the offseason and throughout the summer, almost all media in the United States are saying that the Celtics' worst league, and the Celtics will be a strong contender in the lottery zone. But today! The Celtics directly slapped those media with a 15-point victory against the Bulls!

The opponent is the Bulls. Although Scott Pippen's Bulls are missing, such Bulls are still one of the best teams in the league. The Celtics can win a 15-point victory, which is obviously not just a team in the lottery zone. If the Celtics are really not lucky in this game, then this Celtics will have a chance to challenge the playoffs!

In contrast, the Magic, which has been considered a beneficiary of the Jonny trade throughout the offseason, has been falling all the way after Anfini Hardaway was injured, and shortly after the Celtics' game ended, the Magic lost to the Atlanta Hawks at home, which is completely different from the second-placed Eastern Conference last season.

Jony faced the Bulls, scored 34 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists against Michael Jordan, leading a group of players who were considered teammates of Pigs to defeat the Bulls before the season. Anthony Walker, who was considered to be a very suitable player in the Magic system, only scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Kristen Leitner, who was opposed by the Hawks, got 30+10 data, and the Magic also suffered a crushing defeat.

After the game, Joni didn't care about the somewhat angry Michael Jordan. He accepted an interview with reporters on the sidelines and once again expressed his views on the transfer this season, and then began the topic.

When the reporter asked the Celtics won this game, what do you think or think, Joni replied: "We won the Bulls without Scott Pippen. I don't think there is anything to say about it. This is what we should win. The reason why you performed so surprised and unbelievable is that you actually don't understand our strength, and we won, it is actually our strength."

Joni's tongue twister-like answer made the group of reporters blush in front of him. It can be said that as long as they are reporters, they all shouted that the Celtics are the worst team in the league. There are only differences in degree and no differences in unspeakable.
