Chapter 118 Destroy Gu Laxi! The sweep is imminent!
In the second game of the first round of the playoffs, the Celtics won again easily.
Although compared to the first game, the resistance of the Cavaliers was slightly stronger in this game. The game continued until the second half of the third quarter, when Lin Long, Big Ben, Bowen, Curry and Barros were formed. They attacked the five-person team wildly, and they fought back continuously, completely pulling the score to more than 20 points, so that the suspense of the game completely disappeared.
However, the famous "Rain Man" Sean Kemp, who played at the peak of his career this season, once again behaved like a kid who just learned to play the team under Lin Long's defense.
The whole game, Kemp played 29 minutes, only 5 of 18 shots, scored 13 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 turnovers.
Especially when he went one-on-one with Lin Long, again going 0-for-7 and not scoring a point.
And Lin Long, who was opposite him, once again showed his terrible dominance. He played 31 minutes in the whole game and scored 29 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.
Lin Long's crazy performance surprised many ball critics and insiders.
Although almost everyone thought that the Celtics could win before the game, they all believed that the Celtics had an advantage in Barkley, in the integrity and thickness of the entire lineup.
As for Lin Long, no matter how good he was in the regular season, they also felt that Lin Long had to be taught a lesson and suffered a few big losses when he faced the old fritters in the playoffs.
But the result was quite the opposite.
Lin Long not only completely dominated the game in the first two games, but also Kemp!
Even the local reporters in Cleveland have been unable to see Kemp's poor performance and criticized him.
For example, the "Cleveland Candid Journal" directly sent a long article to criticize Kemp viciously and mercilessly, or it would be more appropriate to say insults.
They think that Kemp, as a team leader, does not have the appearance of a leader, fails to carry the team, and is completely sorry for his top salary in the league.
The most vicious part is even more revealing: Camp has been completely afraid of Lin Long and dare not fight against him. Even when he is happy with his girlfriend at night, as long as he hears Lin Long's name, Camp will immediately respond. Frightened, there is a huge physical problem!
Camp is blown away by these articles!
But he couldn't refute it.
He really had nothing to do with Lin Long and the Celtics. His physical talent and jumping height in the past had become a child's play in front of Lin Long.
In fact, the team's 2-0 deficit did not make Kemp feel unhappy or disappointed. He came to Cleveland for money, and he had forgotten things like self-motivation and survival.
After all, if it's for the sake of performance, Kemp will definitely not leave the league's top team, the SuperSonics, and his gold medal partner "Glove" Payton.
But now that Lin Long was completely blown away and won so easily, Kemp was very angry.
This has already affected his money. Several good brands that he had approached had suspended negotiations with him. There were even rumors that there were two local companies in Cleveland who had cooperated very happily this year. Decided not to continue working with Camp next year!
These are unacceptable to Camp!
So, with this game in Cleveland on Sunday night, Kemp decided to do something!
Either let the Cleveland fans know that I'm still the omnipotent 'Rain Man', just not in good shape the first two games.
Or let Lin Long know that if you cut off my money, then I will cut yours too!
In the face of Kemp, who is so full of energy, Lin Long is still at ease. Today's Lin Long has excellent low-post defense skills, coupled with his unparalleled physical fitness, let Kemp play hard and want to prove himself. , tried every means to score, but all came back in vain.
Game 3 of the series.
After only 7 minutes of play in the second quarter, the Celtics once again widened the difference to 20 points, and at the end of the first half, they widened the difference to 29 points in one fell swoop. It is only a matter of time before three consecutive victories.
Lin Long only played 14 minutes in the first half, and he contributed ace-level output for the team without breaking a sweat.
15 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists on 5-of-7 shooting.
This is the perfect statistic given by Lin Long at halftime.
On the other hand, Kemp, who was playing with his life, was not even as good as the first two games.
First, Lin Long's defense is still tight, and secondly, Big Ben on the bench has gradually adapted to the intensity of the playoffs and played a tough performance, which directly made Kemp even lose money when facing the Celtics' rotation. Not score.
In the first half of the game, Kemp played for 24 minutes, frantically looking for opportunities to shoot, but unfortunately only 0 of 13 shots!
The entire first half did not even get a free throw opportunity, and did not score a single point.
The number of 0 in 13 shots is also the highest record in the history of the NBA, 0 in the history, 13 shots even iron is also the highest record in the NBA half, even if Kemp can hit a few goals in the second half, his performance in this half has also been recorded. history.
Since then, as long as someone mentions the soft-footed shrimp in the playoffs, the worst playoff performance, and Kemp's name, it will definitely appear in the discussion!
In the dressing room of the midfielder, Kemp, who was depressed and angry, took his anger out of the trash can and locker.
After kicking 4 trash cans in a row and breaking 5 lockers, Kemp was finally panting and sat on the chair. At this time, the Cavaliers locker room was as quiet as a funeral scene. When it came to the coach, no one dared to speak, for fear that Kemp would take his anger on himself.
Everyone is sure: Although Kemp can't beat Lin Long, he can certainly beat himself! In this atmosphere, the Cavaliers' midfield didn't even have any tactics, and there were no inspirational chicken soup and unanimous declarations.
Everyone was afraid that Camp would continue to go crazy.
The Celtics' locker room did not arrange any tactics.
The players fought each other and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.
As a Cleveland native, Dale Curry became the focus of everyone. Almost everyone surrounded him and asked him what exciting places to go in Cleveland.
Lin Long was holding a mobile phone and texting James.
Originally Lin Long wanted to invite LeBron to watch the game.
It's a pity that the junior high school basketball league in Akron has also entered a critical moment.
Although LeBron James has just started to devote his energy to basketball, he can immediately show his unparalleled talent and ability. Although he has not yet attracted the crazy attention of scouts across the country, his team has become a The power of Lunzhou.
Now James is working hard for the first championship of his basketball career. The whole team is playing in the next city, and he really can't come back to watch the game.
After Lin Long expressed concern to James, he made a promise to James that if he could lead his team to win the championship this year, he would take him to train for a whole summer during the offseason.
"Do you control what you eat 々々?" This was James' reply to Lin Long, which made Lin Long laugh.
It would be fun to save this text for ten years later when James hits the mark!
Auerbach sat leisurely on the stool and lit his cigar in advance.
In this series, there will be no more waves.
Auerbach is also happy to watch the disciples frolic with each other, and his attention has been shifted to Charlotte next door.
The winner of the Pacers and Hornets will be the Celtics semifinal opponent.
In Charlotte, the game between the Indiana Pacers and the Charlotte Hornets also came to a critical moment. In the first two games, the Charlotte people had no way to take Miller and suffered a two-game losing streak on the road.
In the first two games, Reggie Miller averaged 33 points, and his three shooting percentages were as high as 58%, 50% and 100%.
The most terrifying assassin in this league is at the best stage of his career, continuing to hit the first championship trophy of his career this year.
Game 3 in Charlotte begins at the same time as the Celtics' series.
Auerbach noticed... In the first half of the game, the Charlottes finally found their feelings, reversing the decline of the previous two games, team boss Glen Rice and the man who replaced Kobe Bryant alone Diva Cidu played his own style, leading Indiana by 13 points in the first half.
"々, it's best to play five games, and then seven overtimes, and the winning side has five main players injured!"
Auerbach thought wickedly, and at the same time, he also found assistants to let them prepare all the videos and analysis of these two teams' games.
After tonight, for Auerbach, the next round of work, from the end of this round, has already begun.
The Celtics with a relaxed attitude became more and more brave in the second half of the game. Within 2 minutes of the third quarter, they once again blasted a wave of 9-0 offensive waves, bringing the difference to 38 points.
Auerbach was completely relieved when he saw that the entire Cavaliers team looked like they were dying.
The suspense of this game is completely over!
As long as he waits until the next dead ball, he will replace all the main players, and Auerbach has no interest in hitting the underdogs to create the largest point difference in the playoffs.
Player health and the next round is what matters!
The relaxed Celtics played more and more relaxed on the court, and the resistance of the Cavaliers became weaker and weaker.
Even the tnt commentator has lost his enthusiasm for explaining the game, and started talking about the local customs and customs of Cleveland.
In this case, no one notices...
Sean Camp, who has made 0 of 16 shots, looks more and more ugly, and his eyes are more and more fierce.
He was never a good man and a woman.
If you fight to the death, then I will make you regret it!
