The “Rocket” came back again. 76 people beat the Celtics 119-115 in the eastern semi-final G1. The key is that it is still away, and there is no enbide. If 76 people also come to the following Gram, this has laid a very good foundation.

Because there was no enbyd, “Philadelphia Deng” changed back to “rocket Deng”. When we all thought that he had completely transformed and was no longer the highest scorer, Harden suddenly cut 45 points in this battle, his strong desire to attack showed that Harden never wanted to miss the opportunity again.

Scoring is never difficult for him, winning the Championship is. Last time he scored 45 points in the playoffs, he was still fighting against the Warriors in the 2015 s. It has been 7 years and 341 days since today. However, that was also the only victory the Rocket won in westward. In the Rockets, he once had 60 + credits for three consecutive seasons, and had 50 + records for three consecutive seasons before.

The scoring king took it, the assistant King took it, and the MVP also took it. He took part in the West decision several times, but he couldn’t win the championship. So Harden went to Brooklyn and Philadelphia tossing his hometown. After leaving the rocket, he was no longer the scoring king, but focused on passing for others. He started for Durant and Owen, and now for enbide.

The problem was that there was no enbyd around harden in this battle. The Celts still thought that he was only helping King Harden, not the scoring king harden. The one wearing blue clothing was “Philadelphia Deng”, instead of “rocket boarding” in red “.

The idea of Celtics makes the semi-finals not like a playoff, but just a regular season. Yes, enbide is not here. 76 people only have the substitute center Paul Reed whose height is 206, while Kate has Horford and Luo Wei, and the height of the front line is obviously superior. This advantage makes them too confident. In terms of limiting Harden, the Celtics only regularly use the best defensive Smart to stare at it, and change it when it comes to blocking. There is no delay, let alone attack. This gives Harden a very large space to open his scoring feel as soon as possible.

The strategy of 76 people is very simple. Since there is no enbede, open the space and attack remotely. Harden’s first five goals all hit, including two three points. Even if Matt put his foot on, he almost broke, and failed to stop Harden from scoring 16 points in the first quarter.

The Celts were not alert to the outbreak of Harden at all, probably because it was too easy to lead, without the Great to protect restricted area near the basket, and the Green Army attacked the basket with all its strength. Only Jay Brown made the first six shots and once reached the climax of 11-0. Their advantage reached 12 points at most in the first half.

However, the third quarter suddenly became like a playoff. The tenacious defense of 76 people made it difficult for Celtics to reproduce the advantage of casually invading restricted area near the basket in the first half. The three points of both sides added up to only three, this entanglement finally led the whole audience 16 times alternately, reaching a draw of 14 times.

Harden, who had already scored 30 points in the first three sections, broke out again in the last section. A single section scored 15 points, including the score of three points lore facing Horford in the last 8.7 seconds.

The Celtics are too relaxed. They are not like playing in the playoffs at all. When the last 5 minutes were 3 points ahead, Harris was allowed to hit three points in the big space. When the last 2 minutes were 2 points ahead, Michael Xi was allowed to hit 2+1 in the basket, and then he couldn’t compete with Paul Reed, he was given the chance of four penalties. Broghton’s passing in the last 32 seconds was sent to Michael’s hand, which made him easily fight back against the super score-then Harden’s lore.

The 76ers were so excited that they and the Green Army were old enemies in the east. This was the first time since 1981 that 76ers won the playoffs away from Boston. A group of teammates celebrated happily with enbide in a pullover. At this time, Harden came over and waved his hand calmly, letting them leave the stadium quickly. Now is not the time to celebrate.

After the game, he said: “This is just a game, a game.”

Harden has seen too much. In the past 14 years, he has played 28 rounds of series, including 9 semi-finals in the East and West, 4 rounds in the West, and played the finals in Thunder when he was young. Before the end of the series, you cannot say victory, let alone celebrate.

He knew very well that there was no enbide, and 76 people fell behind their opponents in all aspects in terms of strength. They were completely downwind in the inner line, and only 28 rebounds were robbed, which is also until now in the playoffs this year, the least rebound in a single game.

But this is also a very special competition in Harden’s career, which has been carefully conceived and planned.

76 people eliminated the last goal of basketable nets, enbide was injured and did not play, but it was on April 22, 8 days after the semi-final G1. Harden didn’t even forget to go to Las Vegas to have fun. TMZ also secretly took photos of him quarrelling with his assistant outside the nightclub at 1:30 in the middle of the night.

For more than a week without matches, Harden was not only playing. He and coach Rivers made a detailed plan for the match without Enbi, highlighting Harden’s individual singles and Michael’s individual singles, therefore, Harden scored 31 points in the first and last two sections, and the number of assists of the whole team was only 17, while their average number of assists in the regular season was 25.2, which was equivalent to turning the 76ers into the rockets of that year.

In the fourth quarter, Harden scored a ratio of 15-10 for “double flower exploration”. The last score of Tatum was just 54 seconds after the fourth quarter, jay Brown scored at 6 minutes 11 seconds in the fourth quarter for the last time. The two exploring flowers did not enter the two three points in the last five minutes, which is still the old problem of attacking and losing power at the critical moment.

It is of great significance to win the first game and go away. What is the future trend? The most important thing is that enbide can’t return in time in G2 or G3.

Enbide sprained the lateral collateral ligament of his right knee in the third round of basketable nets in the first round. It has been more than two weeks now. If he does not return, the whole round of 76-person series will be launched under the condition that the internal line is completely controlled, which is extremely fierce.

In the only hand of the regular season and the Green Army, enbide scored 52 points in order to ensure the scoring.

Harden obviously knew very well that there was no danger of enbide, which was why he still looked serious and sinking like water after taking 45 points.
