Chapter 654 The Argentine Demon Sword that erupted! 【Subscription】
To make matters worse, compared to the starting lineup that focuses on defensive counterattacks and uses its own defenses to destroy opponents again and again, the Celtics' bench lineup relies on their own firepower!
At their core is Manu Ginobili's wild, unmarked court style and basketball IQ that all Boston fans know that as long as Ginobili is on the court, be ready to see him perform and be ready to cheer!
For example, on the first offense he played, Ginobili was under the double-team defense of Armstrong and Miller, and a man who passed through the crotch came to pass the ball, and he slapped the ball from Miller's crotch. After drilling down, the whole person turned around like a butterfly, and drilled through the gap between the two.
With just one shot of the ball, he passed two people cleanly!
After the passing, Ginobili took his tango steps and swayed around the 3-point line. It was thrown into the hands of Lewis who was emptied beyond the 3-point line!
You know, Lewis is the Celtics' No. 2 3-pointer this season!
He makes 2.8 3s per game on 44 percent shooting!
Regardless of quality or quantity, in the Celtics, apart from Lin Long, who can make 3.3 3-pointers with a 49% shooting rate per game, no one is his opponent!
It is such a top shooter who was actually let go by the Magic, which shows how chaotic the Magic's defense was by Manu Ginobili!
After Lewis received the ball, there was not a single Magic defensive player within a radius of 3 meters. Naturally, he would not miss this great opportunity.
Celtics, continue to expand their lead!
And the next game in the first quarter has completely turned into Ginobili's personal show!
On the offensive end, he stepped back for 3 points, made a serpentine layup, disrupted the opponent's defense line with tango moves to find teammates, made a mid-range jumper, and even made a crazy dunk by Troy across the magic inside line that was totally not his style!
Ginobili alone has completely disrupted the entire Magic team's defense!
It's no wonder that almost all scouts and experts this season believe that if you only count the offensive end, Ginobili's influence on the court this season is the second most important for the Celtics! Even more than Payton and Laura. Sid et al.
There are even many people who believe that if Ginobili is sent to a team with him as the core, he can definitely hand over the top data and team results in the league!
And even if Ginobili is not good at the defensive end that is always criticized, he also gave a good performance during this time!
Some are predicting the opponent's passing route, directly stealing and launching fast breaks, and some are standing under the basket to act as the role of blocking holes, making McGrady offensive fouls!
If in the first half of the first quarter of this game, Lin Long crushed McGrady on both ends of the offense and defense, then in the next few minutes, it was Ginobili who proved to the world that he was the one who deserved the award more. people!
Who doesn't love Ginobili like this?
And at North Shore Gardens, Ginobili now has a new nickname.
“20 minutes Lin Long々々!”
In his limited playing time, he can match the output and contribution of Lin Long!
And today's Manu Ginobili, even more bloody and murderous that was rarely seen in previous games!
In previous games, although he could also contribute a lot of beautiful rounds and important output, he always lacked a bloody and murderous aura, seldom roared, seldom provoked, and almost never quarreled with people.
But today, Ginobili's eyes seem to be on fire!
After every successful attack, he will give the opponent a glaring gift, as if asking every player on the Magic team: "Now, do you still think McGrady is the most improved player?"
When halfway through the second quarter, the Celtics' main force finally arrived late and walked side by side on the court, the game had almost no suspense.
The Magic are already 35 points behind the Celtics!
Their core Tracy McGrady has played for 18 consecutive minutes, but it has no effect. During his time on the court, he made only 2 of 11 shots, and only scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 turnovers.
His first trip to the playoffs was really bleak!
The performance of the team leader is still like this, and the rest of the Magic team is naturally even less decent!
They were completely blown up by the Celtics in less than two quarters!
After the game, there were no waves, and the Celtics easily won their first playoff victory with a 45-point advantage.
In this game, none of the Celtics played more than 25 minutes. All 12 players who signed up played, and all of them played more than 15 minutes! This is a complete crushing game. and team victory!
Lin Long played 24 minutes and made a small test, making 10 of 13 shots, 4 of 4 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks.
Ginobili played 21 minutes, made 9 of 12 shots, 2 of 3 3-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 25 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.
These two people are also the two Celtics who scored the most points in the first game and played the most minutes. Just their contribution on the court is enough to completely defeat the Magic team!
On the Magic side, the team's big Gothic Tracy McGrady performed under the standard, only 3 of 16 shots, 1 of 5 3-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, scored 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 turnovers , (Qian Qian's) his abnormality is only one of the reasons for the defeat of the Magic team.
After all, the Magic still have 1-of-10 Armstrong and 0-of-8 Mike Miller, and when a team's top three players are all like this, the team only loses by 45 points, it is already very lucky Not bad!
The Magic really relied on luck to not lose 58 points or more.
In fact, they once trailed by nearly 60 points in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, but at this time their role players suddenly came to their senses and made consecutive long-range shots to stop the bleeding for the team, making their loss less ugly.
Especially the old acquaintance of the Celtics, the former dunk Wang Di Brown, who used to be a teammate with Lin Long for half a year, the veteran guard who is already aging, made 5 of 5 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. He scored 21 points in a single quarter with an inside shot and an outside shot, which was regarded as saving the last shred of face for the Magic.
