Chapter 319 Eastern Champion
Only one game away, the Indiana Pacers can set foot on the NBA Finals!
Conseco Arena, home of the Indiana Pacers, was packed ahead of Game 18345 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics.This arena, which can accommodate 2 spectators, seems to be full of more than 12 fans tonight. Many people came here, expecting the team to return to the finals after a lapse of [-] years!
Not only those crazy fans, but even those old courtiers who once played for the Indiana Pacers have returned to Indianapolis, to the place where they once fought, in the arena they are most familiar with Li witnessed his old club advance to the NBA Finals again.
In addition to the team's legendary star Reggie Miller who continues to serve as the on-site commentator in the Conseco Arena, Mark Jackson, the team's former point guard who has served as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, has retired. The team's former main inside player Dale Davis and the team's former main center Brad Miller who just retired came to the Conseco Arena to watch the Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics. Game [-] of the series between the teams.
The arrival of many old players, as well as the huge noise made by the fans on site, made the Conseco Arena, which is not a very large arena, once again have the atmosphere of the devil's home stadium.
However, compared with the old guys of the Boston Celtics, the pressure on the Indiana Pacers players at home is even greater.
Although the team now leads the Boston Celtics with a big score of 3:1, due to the arrival of many old players and a large number of fans, this game has become a game that the Indiana Pacers must not lose.In the NBA playoffs, there is no mention of which team can definitely win the game.In contrast, falling behind by a big score will make the Boston Celtics players more relaxed and less psychologically stressed.
It is precisely because of this that Ellen Page, who was sitting in the first row of spectators beside the stadium, has been silently praying for Xu Nuo in her heart, hoping that Xu Nuo will not perform abnormally in this game.
Xu Nuo, still playing as the starting point guard for the Indiana Pacers, looked at Ellen Page on the sidelines and couldn't help but smile.The promised smile seemed to have a calming power, and Ellen Page immediately felt a lot more at ease in her heart.
And on the court, it was not only Ellen Page who was paying attention to Promise's every move, but also Promise's opponent in the game, the main point guard of the Boston Celtics, Rajon Rondo.In addition, Mark Jackson, sitting on the sidelines of the court, is also paying attention to the promise.
"It's really hard to figure out, how did this kid perform such a magical performance in the game..." The head coach of the Golden State Warriors thought in this way.
The referee on duty for this game is still Joe Crawford. Joe Crawford threw the ball in his hand high into the air, and Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert defeated the jumper. Boston Celtics power forward Brandon Bass grabbed the ball for the opening jumper.Immediately, there was a tsunami-like cheer in the Conseco Arena.
"Roy Hibbert grabbed the opening jump ball, and now the game has started, first the home team Indiana Pacers control the ball!" said the live commentator Reggie Miller, "The current Indiana Pacers The final only needs one victory, and I believe this group of boys will strive for victory in this game with a new mental outlook!"
However, the Indiana Pacers players on the field obviously did not let go of their hands and feet, and missed two consecutive offenses. Instead, the Boston Celtics turned away and took a 4:0 lead.However, the Indiana Pacers quickly found an offensive feeling under the promised needlework. After Danny Granger hit a long three-pointer from the outside, the Indiana Pacers relied on a wave of 7:0. The climax will overtake the score.
"But Xu Nuo's playing style is really confusing." Mark Jackson thought in his heart, "It seems that Xu Nuo has a very strong personal offensive ability, and sometimes he will put his own score on the team. above, but at the same time Xu promises to have an excellent passing skill, whether it is the reading of the game or the overall situation, he has a good grasp of it, and can link the whole team together well. This sounds very good Contradictions, but this pair of contradictions is perfectly integrated in Xu Nuo. It is indeed not easy for Coach Larry Brown to use Xu Xu well and play his best."
Just when Mark Jackson was admiring, Xu Nuo received a pass from power forward David West and hit a mid-range jumper, scoring his first point in the game.Ellen Page, who was sitting in the first row of auditoriums by the court, cheered as excitedly as other fans, as happy as a child.
"Now the Indiana Pacers have really found their sense of the game and incorporated the game into their own rhythm!" said on-site commentator Reggie Miller, "The Indiana Pacers have taken the initiative in the game, and now they have Five points ahead of the Boston Celtics!"
Indeed, after center Roy Hibbert hit a hook shot, the Indiana Pacers at home have led the away Boston Celtics by five points 11-6.In the past 3 minutes or so, the Indiana Pacers played a wave of 11:2 offensive climax.
"Damn it!" Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo cursed under his breath.
However, no matter how hard Rajon Rondo tried, he still couldn't stop the team from continuing to fall behind the opponent.Despite rajon rondo's six points and four assists in the first quarter, his team trailed the indiana pacers by six with 20:26 left to end the first quarter .
"Everyone, cheer up!" Before the start of the second quarter, Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers encouraged his disciples loudly, "Now we are fighting with our backs. Behind us There is no way back! Now we can only go all out, and there can be no more mistakes! In fact, our performance after the start of the game was quite good, but we lost our own rhythm in the next few minutes of the game. We wouldn't be so vulnerable if we had focused all our attention and given our all!"
With some inspiration from Coach Doc Rivers, the Boston Celtics take to the court once again.However, with both sides playing off the bench, the Boston Celtics are obviously slightly inferior to the Indiana Pacers.Not long into the second quarter, the Boston Celtics trailed the Indiana Pacers by as much as double digits.
"Now the Indiana Pacers have undoubtedly gained the upper hand in terms of mentality and momentum." On-site commentator Reggie Miller said.
After trailing opponents by as much as double digits, it seemed as if the Boston Celtics players were not taking the game seriously and playing more casually on the court.If it weren't for three-point shooter Ray Allen hitting two long-range three-pointers in a row, the Boston Celtics would have fallen even further behind.
"Heh... the current Boston Celtics are only on their last breath, if they can break this last breath, they will have no chance!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
Until the end of the first half, and even until the middle of the third quarter, the Boston Celtics still took that last breath.However, starting from the second half of the third quarter, the Indiana Pacers suddenly accelerated the pace of the game, fully accelerated, and immediately rushed the Boston Celtics' defense to pieces.The last breath of the Boston Celtics was defeated.
"The Boston Celtics are really on their way..." sighed the live commentator Reggie Miller.
The entire fourth quarter was played amidst the wild cheers of the fans at the Conseco Arena. This was a nightmare for the Boston Celtics players. The most difficult period of time.Although there are only "short" twelve minutes in a game, in the eyes of those Boston Celtics players, these twelve minutes are as long as 12 years.
In the end, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Boston Celtics at home 105:89. At the moment the final whistle sounded, the entire Conseco Arena was boiling!The streamers that fell from the sky quickly flooded the entire arena to celebrate the Indiana Pacers regaining the Eastern Conference championship after a lapse of 12 years!
Promise, however, didn't directly participate in the celebration after the game, instead finding Boston Celtics starting point guard Rajon Rondo.
"Although we fight each other to the death on the court, I really hope that we can become best friends off the court!" Xu Nuo said with a smile and extended his hand to Rajon Rondo.
Rajon Rondo smiled slightly and hugged Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo held Ellen Page's waist beside him and watched team captain Danny Granger take over the Eastern Conference championship trophy.While feeling bursts of joy in his heart, Xu Nuo also reminded himself in his heart: the season is not over yet, and there is one last opponent in front of him, no matter who this opponent is, he will be a very strong opponent, and he must not take it lightly !
