Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Little Thomas was tricked by the Green Army in his previous life, but this time he defeated the Green Army!

At first, Rondo was somewhat disdainful.

Thomas' sense of rhythm is indeed the best among rookies, and he is worthy of the honor of the second team of rookies.

But in front of him, the fourth giant of the Green Army and "more in the post-season", it is simply not enough!
Before the official timeout, Rondo's mouth was very hard. After the official timeout, Rondo was also very hard, but his body was very hard.

"If you have 10 points of strength, you have to give me 100 points!"

Although Thomas didn't know why Wu Di said such words, Wu Di didn't look like he was joking, so he cheered up and showed his best!
After all, in his heart, Wu Di is not only the boss of the team, but also a noble figure.

Taking him to participate in the "Invincible Elite Challenge" and winning the championship, helping him win a US$1000 million Under Armor endorsement contract, which instantly tripled his annual income as a second-round pick...

Take him to fly, take him to wave, take him to watch the moon together!

Among the three rookies of the Cavaliers, although he has the lowest pick, he is the one who trains the hardest, even harder than Butler!
Because he had long secretly made up his mind to never let down Wu Di's expectations!
Now, it seems that the opportunity has come...

After the official timeout came back, Love served. Wu Di rushed to the top of the arc and stopped to catch the ball. He followed the trend with an extremely realistic fake move of raising his elbow, but it did not shake Pierce's center of gravity!
After the exchange between the two sides in the midfield, the loose basket that had already adapted suddenly changed from loose to tight. The Cavaliers' three-point shooting percentage dropped significantly, even Wu Di was no exception...

Fortunately, the Green Army could not fully adapt to the pine basket, so the two sides dragged each other into hand-to-hand combat. Pierce's defensive focus was also on preventing Wu Di from breaking through.

Wu Debai couldn't help but once again used consecutive double back dribbles to tear apart Pierce's defense!

Although Pierce's smart little eyes look quite scary, the side effect is that his vision is limited. Wu Di's double luck has already caused him a lot of suffering!

But this time Pierce tried his best to stop Wu Di. After he was thrown away by Wu Di, he directly stepped on Wu Di's only way to break through. It looked like he was trying to get in, but in fact he not only tried to get in, but also had to use his legs. Block the basketball.

Needless to say, even if the basketball hits his foot, the referee will definitely not call it. At most, it will call a violation and re-serve.

And if he deliberately goes up to get a foul, as long as he doesn't break Pierce's leg directly, there is a high probability that Pierce will still make a profit...

So Wu Di only has one way left, and that is to combine the ball and shoot from mid-range!

Rondo, who was closer, immediately rushed over to interfere. In this position, even if Wu Di passed to Thomas to break through, he would have time to return to defense, not to mention that Wu Di usually rarely passes the ball when he jumps...

However, this time he overturned. Wu Di flicked his elbow and passed the ball to Thomas who was outside the three-point line. The latter jumped up and took a shot!
Swish!
Hollow hit!

78-68!

The Cavaliers' lead reached double digits for the first time!

Rondo's already sinister eyes became even more sinister!
Thomas is only 1 meters tall. He could have easily blocked him. Even in the situation just now, Rondo almost blocked him when he turned around to defend...

But almost success meant failure. Thomas decisively seized the opportunity and scored!

When Wu Di didn't take many three-pointers today, a rookie like Thomas actually dared to take three-pointers, and he even scored...

Just thinking about it makes me angry!
Celtics fans are so miserable!
Including O'Neal and Kenny Smith:
"The Cavaliers played in a mess today! Apart from feeling better, there is no plan at all!"

"That's right! A person who usually doesn't shoot three-pointers starts to shoot three-pointers. You still have the advantage. There is no need to push your luck like this!"

Buckley laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, do you want to listen to what you two are talking about?"

"That's bullshit! You're playing like shit and still leading by 10 points in an away game. Is this how you understand the game?"

"Oh~ I guess that's about it. Otherwise, why don't you have a ring?"

These remarks instantly made the two of them very angry. While several people were arguing, the court quickly advanced. Rondo took the initiative to break through and score, 78-70!

On the Cavaliers' side, Thomas Jr. cooperated with Jordan in the low post, but was successfully defended by Garnett, and Rondo rushed to grab the rebound!

However, before Rondo could start running, Thomas suddenly stretched out his hand to steal!

Rondo immediately half-turned around to block him with quick eyesight and quick hands!
Rondo's lips curved with disdain. In his eyes, Thomas had basically no confrontation. His only advantage was using his short height to make gambler-style steals.

But since the three-pointer just now, he has been wary of Thomas, how could he still give him a chance?

However, less than a second later, there was a sudden snap!
Wu Di on the side directly broke the basketball from his hand and then stepped up and dunked!

80-70!

The corners of Rondo's curved mouth twitched, but Thomas was half-smiling. He didn't even think about stealing Rondo, he just used Rondo's attention to create opportunities for Wu Di!
Rivers had no choice but to call a long timeout.

Although there was less than 1 minute left in the third quarter, the Cavaliers' sudden wave of rhythm completely disrupted the Celtics' counterattack plan!

"There is not much time left for us, we must cheer up..."

There was a long pause of 100 seconds, and Rivers spent 80 seconds pouring chicken soup. In the remaining time, he did not actually arrange tactics, but changed to a different bowl to pour ecstasy soup:

"They are dying. Wu Di doesn't even dare to take action. We have to rely on that little man's lottery-like luck to maintain the lead!"

"But don't put too much energy on him. We have studied him before. He is not a shooter, but it is too difficult for him to break through. We will continue to implement the strategy of double-teaming Wu Di..."

When the timeout ended, Rivers arranged for "French Jordan" Michael Pietrus, who only joined the Celtics this year, to play in place of Ray Allen.Ray Allen has played for 30 minutes and needs to slow down.

After another timeout, Pierce got into position in the low post and Rondo quickly passed the ball over.

But as soon as Pierce got the ball, the intensity of Wu Di's confrontation instantly increased by two levels!

After holding on until now, Pierce's physical strength has been unable to keep up. This time, he even tried several times but failed to get any good chance from Wu Di, and even almost lost the ball!
In the end, I had to pass back quickly before Jordan's double team came over!
Rondo made a fake shot and passed the ball to Pietrus who had just come on!

Pietrus shot against Parker. His bounce was very good, and his shooting point was very high. It was very difficult for players in the same position to block shots, especially for players like Parker whose athletic ability was declining at the end of his career. This was also a replacement for Rivers. The reason for having sex with him.

However, the basketball hit the front of the basket with a bang!

And it didn't spin into the net!

Pietrus didn't adapt to the loose basket, and the Celtics' destructive off-the-board moves ultimately hurt him!

Amid the lamentations at the North Shore Garden Arena, Jordan blocked Garnett and Love easily picked off the rebound!

There were only 21.8 seconds left in the third quarter. Love made a long pass to Thomas. Thomas received the ball in the middle and slowed down to the frontcourt.

Wu Di winked and stepped forward to help him block.

The defensive focus of the two Green Army players instantly shifted to Wu Di. They all thought Wu Di was going to use a hand-off tactic!

And Thomas's movement of raising his elbow as soon as he dribbled the ball past Wu Di further confirmed the judgment of the two people!

However, the next moment, a sudden change occurred. Thomas raised his elbow and did not spread the word, but took action directly!

Swish!
Three points again!

83-70!

The North Shore Garden Arena was in an uproar. Not only the Boston fans couldn't accept it, but even Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith in the TNT live broadcast room were watching with suspicion:
"Gift Crab! Can it be more fake?"

"What are you doing after the season? What are the Celtics doing? They were beaten like this by a 1 meter dwarf?"

But the incredible is yet to come!

There are 6.3 seconds left in the third quarter. This time is not long for the slower-paced Celtics, especially when they have to serve the ball from the backcourt. Even Rondo is ready to give up.

The Cavaliers didn't seem to press the whole court, and Pierce led Wu Di directly to the frontcourt, which made them relax their vigilance.

But when Rondo served to Pietrus, Parker suddenly burst forward and pressed forward!

Pietrus was startled, but he still used his physical advantage to protect the ball. However, Thomas on the side turned around and double-teamed him!

Pietrus is not a good ball-handler. He originally just wanted to pass the ball to Rondo, but unexpectedly he was treated like a man on top of a man!
Although there are only 6 seconds left, for Pietrus, these 6 seconds are longer than a lifetime!
He was nervous and raised his feet before dribbling. Now he could only pass the ball!

Snapped!
The sound of cutting the ball with his palm suddenly sounded, and Parker cut the ball down. The trajectory of Pietrus' passing was so guessable!
Offensive and defensive instant transposition!

Before Pierce could react, he saw Wu Di rushing back to the Celtics backcourt!

"Fake!"

The rest of the scene could only make him cover his face and sigh. Wu Di caught the ball at the top of the arc. There was so much space that he could even adjust his breath before taking action!

The parabola of basketball had just gone halfway when the buzzer sounded at the end of the third quarter!

But this does not delay the basketball from entering the bag!

86-70!

The Celtics are completely numb!

16 points difference!
In the last few minutes of the third quarter, what they thought was an opportunity turned out to be the culprit that kicked them into the abyss!

Rivers slapped his face in anger!
Fans at the North Shore Garden Arena could not hide their disappointment, and some even started to leave early!
16 points, even if all the gods of the Green Army come down to earth in the fourth quarter, it may be difficult to save it!

Facts have proved that their choice is correct.

Under Wu Di's planning and layout, the Cavaliers' lineup depth is much healthier than that of the Green Army. The further they go to the back, the greater the Cavaliers' advantage!

Moreover, the wave at the end of the third quarter was too demoralizing. Even if the Big Three wanted to pull after the fourth quarter started, they resisted for a few rounds before completely softening and giving up resistance...

The Cavaliers took the lead in replacing role players, and the Green Army took advantage of the situation and removed the Big Three in order to draw G4, and the game entered garbage time.

In the end, the score was fixed at 112-93!

The Cavaliers won by 19 points, the score came to 1-2, and the Celtics entered the ICU in half a step! (End of chapter)
