In the commentary booth, the guest commentators and commentators are already looking through the data.

94-95赛季，琼斯常规赛14分3.9篮板2助攻，季后赛8.7分3.2篮板2助攻。

96-97赛季，琼斯常规赛17.2分4.1篮板3.4助攻，季后赛11.2分3.4篮板3.2助攻。

99-00赛季，琼斯常规赛20.1分4.8篮板4.2助攻，季后赛17分5篮板4.8助攻。

……

"So, Jones is a star in the regular season, and he pulls his hips in the playoffs!"

The commentator concluded.

The game continues.

Odom and Cato played together at the basket and scored 2 points.

12: 6.

The Heat stopped bleeding.

Celtics offense.

Pierce stuck Li Lei in the low post and asked for the ball.

Li Lei supported Pierce with both arms, but he didn't dare to exert force.

In this position, if you are close to Pierce, Pierce can break through and dunk with one turn, or lean back and turn over for a jumper.

Sure enough, Pierce sensed that Li Lei was not exerting any strength, so he took the initiative to use his back to find contact.

Li Lei maintained his pressure on Pierce, but never let Pierce cling to him.

Pierce really didn't dare to turn over and make a jumper, so he could only choose to turn around and break through.

Li Lei left room to move laterally to block Pierce's breakthrough immediately.

Pierce couldn't get rid of Li Lei, and saw Odom approaching this way, so he could only choose a pull back, dribble under his crotch, stop suddenly, and then catch a fadeaway jumper.

Li Lei stood up from the ground, his long arms stretched out, and he interfered a lot.

Pierce felt that Li Lei's long arms covered the sky and the sun, casting a net.

But Pierce did not disarm and surrender. He forcibly twisted his waist and abdomen in the air, making the recline reach an exaggerated level, and the basketball could barely fly past Li Lei's fingertips.

Bang!

The difficulty was too high and the ball missed.

But the basketball bounced off the hoop, fell a second time, and fell into the hoop.

Swish!
fairy ball.

14: 6.

Li Lei looked helpless.

He did his best with this shot, and it was because Pierce had too much firepower and good luck.

no way.

The Heat attack.

Wade scored a breakthrough.

14: 8.

Celtics attack.

Pierce pushed the ball himself this time.

Half a step away from the three-point line, Pierce immediately stopped the jumper and pulled it up.

Basketball shot through the heart.

Swish!
and also!

17: 8.

The scene exclaimed.

Miami fans couldn't believe it.

Pierce is a bit invincible in this state today!

After scoring the goal, Pierce looked at his palm and couldn't believe it.

Relying on Pierce's extraordinary performance and Davis' outstanding performance, the Celtics ended the first quarter with a big lead.

28: 19.

In the first half of the second quarter, the two sides came off the bench to give the main players a chance to rest.

Alston's performance is quite satisfactory, Haslem obviously nervous, only hit 4 of 1 shots.

There was also a buttery hand at the basket, and the shot was blocked by the basket.

Simply invisible.

Li Lei had expected it. Haslem couldn't sleep yesterday, and he was still flipping through the tactical manual in the middle of the night. Of course, there was something wrong with his mental state.

The root cause is still too tense.

In the first half, the Heat dug a big hole for themselves.

58: 43.

The Heat trailed by as much as 15 points.

Back in the second half, Jones Sr. found himself.

He scored 5 points in a row and led his teammates to play a wave of 10:0 attacks, which once narrowed the point difference to 5 points.

But at this moment, Ricky Davis stepped forward.

He first broke through and scored 2 points, and then broke through and gave the big shooter McCarty a three-pointer.

Davis helped the Celtics open the point difference to 10 points again.

Pierce then took over the game.

Whenever the Heat close the gap, Pierce can always put the ball in the basket in various ways.

Li Lei tried his best, but still couldn't stop Pierce.

In this way, the difference between the two sides has been floating around 10 points.

Until the last 3 minutes, Wade made a mistake and was blown away by the referee.

The two sides exchange the ball.

Chucky Atkins came back and hit a [-]-pointer.

The point difference returned to 15 points again.

The Heat attacked, and the Celtics showed a solid defense.

Nearing 24 seconds, the Heat still had no chance to run out.

Li Lei, the receiver of the pot, forced a shot against Pierce's close defense.

Bang!

Pierce received the rebound, went directly to the fast break and scored another 2 points.

The point difference was pulled to 17 points.

The game ended accordingly.

97: 80.

The Celtics slaughtered the Heat in an upset away game.

This is also the only game in the first round of the playoffs.

Pierce is a god, scoring 32 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

Ricky Davis had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

McCarty had 14 points and 7 rebounds.

Atkins had 12 points and 6 assists.

The Celtics team is in full swing.

in contrast.

Heat here:
老琼斯全场9投3中，只得了7分2篮板1助攻。

Haslem scored 6 of 1 and scored 2 points and 4 rebounds.

巴特勒13中3，砍了7分4篮板1助攻。

The performance of these three is completely unreasonable.

Li Lei's statistics are not good either.

全场8投3中，拿了8分2篮板2助攻3抢断1盖帽。

But among these 8 shots, 3 of Li Lei's shots were forced shots approaching 24 seconds, which was a scapegoat for his teammates.

In fact, Li Lei was marking Pierce the whole game, and all his energy was spent on defense.

It's a pity that Pierce felt hot tonight and couldn't stop it at all.

Li Lei defended well, but Pierce was still able to throw the ball into the basket.

This defeat immediately caused an uproar in the league.

The second in the East lost to the seventh in the East, which is a little better than the black eight.

Criticism from all walks of life followed.

The first one is "Big Dog" Glenn Robinson: "I have said a long time ago that team basketball does not work in the NBA. Especially in the playoffs, this is the stage for stars. Look at Pierce, look at it again Stone, 32 to 8, anything else to explain?"

Then there was Pistons head coach Larry Brown, who was interviewed after the game: "The Heat are an excellent team, but they have too many newcomers. The team needs experience and must be led by reliable veterans. Light With a group of newcomers, it won’t be far.”

Old Brown's criticism is more tactful.

Kenyon Martin of the Nets didn't hide it: "It seems that we can't meet the Heat in the second round. It's really disappointing. Hahaha... The Heat don't deserve to be our opponent at all."

……

Facing the storm outside, the Heat team was in trouble.

It's hard to ignore the flood of criticism from the outside world.

For a while, the entire Heat team was a little depressed, and the players were very negative.

In order to adjust the psychological state of the whole team, Riley, Da Fan, and Spoelstra are going to hold a summary meeting.

The effect of the meeting was very good, and the state of the whole team has obviously changed.

Li Lei also took the initiative to speak.
