Rahim took off his training clothes excitedly and finally got a chance to play!

…

Pierce is discussing with his coach and teammates how to play in the next period. He must have an advantage before Randolph is replaced on the opposite side. If there is not much of a lead and he returns to the starting lineup for the fourth quarter, there will be a lot of pressure.

.

Suddenly, fierce cheers erupted from the scene.

Pierce looked around and focused on Raheem.

Take off your training clothes!

The two are also old acquaintances. Both of them were geniuses who graduated from high school in 1995.

"Isn't this guy injured? Playing with an injury? It's unreasonable! He's not injured, so why isn't he used in the front?"

Pierce's head was full of questions.

However, Celtics coach John Carroll quickly figured out the opponent's operation - it was the same as the Cavaliers selling Ricky Davis at a low price.

It's just that the Trail Blazers did it more ruthlessly than the Cavaliers.

The head coaches under rich bosses are all so wealthy, and the keeper of a water fountain with $13.5 million...

The Trail Blazers have done something similar. In the summer of 2000, the Trail Blazers traded back Sean Kemp. Although Kemp was useless after the lockout, he could still play in the 1999-00 season even if he was dragging on a lot of fat.

An average performance of 17+8, and then because Mike Dunleavy didn't like Kemp and felt that Kemp's arrival had ruined the team's atmosphere, he simply didn't use it. He only gave ten minutes of playing time in every game during garbage time or because of injuries or insufficient manpower.

.

When Maurice Cheeks came to power and tried for a year, he suggested that the team buy out Shawn Kemp.

It wouldn't cut the salary the Trail Blazers paid, it wouldn't reduce the luxury tax, it wouldn't even do anything to free up cap space, but Paul Allen agreed.

Because Kemp not only affects the team's atmosphere, but also the playing attitude of other players, the latter of which Maurice Cheeks cannot accept.

Pause and come back.

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Miles, Raheem, and Dale Davis.

The Celtics sent a combination of Ricky Davis, Vierschenko, Pierce, Walter McCarty and Mark Blount.

The game continues and the Celtics attack.

Pierce calmed down the emotional turmoil caused by the sudden appearance of Raheem, who was injured.

Entering the offensive state, Pierce's offensive organization has been driven to improve without his big brother Anthony Walker.

Pierce passed the ball to Vierschenko in singles, Vierschenko passed the ball through the ball, and Ricky Davis cut the ball from the baseline and made a layup against Dale Davis' defense.

Ricky Davis's impact is quite ferocious!

69 to 67, the Celtics lead by 2 points!

This is the first time the Celtics have taken the lead since the beginning of the game!

Offensive and defensive transition, the Trail Blazers attack.

Liu Xiu held the ball, faced Ricky Davis' defense, changed direction in front of his body, quickly pulled horizontally, and broke through!

Ricky Davis was not discouraged when he was passed. He was used to it. He turned around and chased after him immediately. He had a good attitude and relied on his physical fitness to achieve a good pursuit and defense effect.

But was blocked by Miles!

With Miles or McDyess around, Liu Xiu's breakthrough effect in singles is always better. The two actively cooperated in pick-and-rolls and did an excellent job. The main reason is that after McDyess joined, Miles learned a lot. He is talented in this area.

good.

Liu Xiu suddenly reached close range, and the Celtics players took it back, but they didn't get close enough to cover Liu Xiu's shooting space.

The strong team in the Eastern Conference Finals two years ago still has some things on the defensive end.

Liu Xiu split the free throw line defense, Rahim cut in the middle to receive the ball, Pierce switched defense, Rahim took the initiative to move towards Pierce, turned his back beautifully and bypassed Pierce, going straight to the basket, Mark Blount took the opportunity to make up for it.

But it was of no use. Rahim took off under the defense of Mark Blount and pulled the lever for a layup...in!

Moreover, the referee whistle sounds!

Mark Blount blocked the foul, and Raheem's goal was valid and there was an additional penalty!

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Rahim hit an extra free throw, the score was 70 to 69, and the Trail Blazers once again took the lead!
Chapter completed!
