    Before the start of the second half of the game, Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers made some adjustments to the team's main lineup. Three-point shooter Ray Allen, who had been sitting on the bench before, was  Put it on the main roster.  Since Ray Allen had just returned from injury, coach Doc Rivers chose to put Ray Allen on the bench and let teenager Avery Bradley serve as the team's starting shooting guard.  However, Avery Bradley's performance in this game was not very good, and the team was already behind the opponent by as many as fifteen points, so coach Doc Rivers had to adjust Ray Allen to  Among the main roster.

    "Our performance in the first half of the game was quite bad!" Coach Doc Rivers said to his disciples, "But I hope everyone can forget it! Now that the game has entered the second half, we still have a chance to win.  Victory of the game! As long as the final whistle has not sounded, we cannot give up the game! We still have twenty-four minutes, and I hope you can show your strength in these twenty-four minutes!"[]

    "Indeed, we shouldn't give up now!" Paul Pierce, the team captain, also said loudly, "If we lose this game, then our situation will be very dangerous! In order to prevent our efforts this season from being in vain  , we must try our best in the next twenty-four minutes of the game!"

    Encouraged by coach Doc Rivers and captain, the Boston Celtics players stepped onto the court to prepare for the second half of the game.

    "Come on, you guys!" Rajon Rondo, the main point guard of the Boston Celtics, said to himself bitterly as he geared up.

    On the other end of the court, the Indiana Pacers players also returned to the court.  Xunuo raised his head high, seemingly not seeing the hateful expression on Rajon Rondo's face.  "It's useless for you to look at me like this. We will still win in the end!" Xu Nuo said in his heart.

    Rajon Rondo took the ball from power forward Brandon Bass and began dribbling forward.  Kevin Garnett mentioned the high post to set up a pick-and-roll for Rajon Rondo. Rajon Rondo immediately took the opportunity to break away from the promised defense, bypass Kevin Garnett and accelerate towards the Indiana Pacers basket.  Rush away.  At the same time, the two Indiana Pacers generals Danny Granger and David West moved quickly to block Rajon Rondo from moving forward.

    "The defensive intensity has not dropped at all!" Rajon Rondo sighed in his heart.

    However, at the same time, Rajon Rondo flicked his wrist slightly, and the ball quickly flew to the hands of Paul Pierce standing outside the three-point line.  Although Danny Granger quickly returned to defense, Danny Granger still steadily hit a long three-pointer from the outside, helping the Boston Celtics slightly narrow the point difference.

    "Has Paul Pierce's shooting touch really recovered?" Xu Nuo thought to himself as he took the ball from shooting guard DeMar DeRozan.

    When the Indiana Pacers started to attack, the sound of cheering like a mountain roar and tsunami once again sounded in the Conseco Arena.  Xu Nuo used David West's screen to break through the Boston Celtics' defense with the ball, and then distributed the ball to Danny Granger.  Danny Granger feinted against Paul Pierce and then dribbled laterally.  At this moment, the referee on duty, Joe Crawford, blew his whistle.

    "What?" Danny Granger looked at Joe Crawford in surprise, "How could it be dribbling and walking?"

    However, the referee Joe Crawford ignored Danny Granger's protest and still maintained his decision.  Danny Granger had no choice but to put down the ball in his hand, turned around and walked towards his team's half. Suddenly, the Conseco Arena was filled with boos.

    "It seems that the devilish home atmosphere in Conseco Arena has not helped the Indiana Pacers at all!" the on-site commentator and Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

    At this time, the Boston Celtics launched another attack on the court, and Rajon Rondo still handed the ball to Paul Pierce.  Because Danny Granger was a little afraid of Paul Pierce's shooting, he began to stick closely to Paul Pierce, trying his best to suppress Paul Pierce's shooting space.  So Paul Pierce suddenly accelerated and began to break through Danny Granger's defense with the ball.

    "Be careful to protect the inside line!" Xu Nuo said loudly.

    Although the two major inside players of the Indiana Pacers, center Roy Hibbert and power forward David West, paid attention to protecting the basket, Paul Pierce still took three steps slower to enter the Indiana Pacers.  The Rockets' penalty area faced Roy Hibbert's defense and scored a layup  At 42:52, the away Boston Celtics were "only" ten points behind the Indiana Pacers at home.

    "Hey, chasing points is so fast!" Xu Nuo said in his heart.

    In the next attack, Xu Nuo did not pass the ball to Danny Granger, but passed it to power forward David West inside.  David West held the ball with his back to Boston Celtics power forward Brandon Bass. After other Indiana Pacers players opened up the offensive space, he began to hold the ball in isolation against Brandon Bass.  Sri Lanka.  However, Brandon Bass's defense was very good. David West had no chance to shoot after turning around, and David West had to choose to pass the ball.  Center Roy Hibbert received a pass from David West and then dunked.

    "This is the cooperation between the two inside players. To be honest, David West's pass is really good!" On-site commentator Reggie Miller said.

    Relying on the steady performance of the two inside players, the home team Indiana Pacers once again led the visiting team Boston Celtics by 56:42 by 14 points. Paul Pierce had just scored five points in a row and finally caught up with the score again.  Once pulled away.

    "The current Boston Celtics are always in a situation of struggling to catch up, and have been passive from the beginning of the game to now." On-site commentator Reggie Miller said, "If they still cannot win in the third quarter,  If the point difference is reduced to less than double digits, then their situation in this game will be quite dangerous!¡±

    "We know this even if you don't tell us!" Rajon Rondo said coldly.

    Since the start of the second half, the Boston Celtics have been focusing the ball in the hands of Paul Pierce, using Paul Pierce as the team's offensive arrow.  And Paul Pierce did not disappoint his teammates, scoring seven points in a row after the start of the third quarter.  However, since then, Paul Pierce has once again fallen into a cycle of missed shots. In the nearly nine minutes remaining in the third quarter, Paul Pierce only scored two points on free throws.

    "It turns out that Paul Pierce's seven points in a row was just a sudden outburst." Xu Nuo said.

    Rajon Rondo wanted to refute Xu Nuo's point of view, but Rajon Rondo could not think of any arguments to refute Xu Nuo.  "It seems that only practical actions can speak for themselves!" Rajon Rondo thought in his heart.

    So Rajon Rondo once again started to break through with the ball, single-handedly attacking the Indiana Pacers' defense.  However, the effect of Rajon Rondo's doing so was not very good. Under the strong defense of the Indiana Pacers, Rajon Rondo's offensive efficiency was not high.  At the end of the third quarter, the away Boston Celtics still trailed the home Indiana Pacers by 14 points with a score of 56:70.

    "In this way, it is really difficult for the Boston Celtics to have a chance to win!" On-site commentator Reggie Miller sighed, "If the Boston Celtics come back with a big score of 0:2  Going home will be very detrimental to their situation in this series!"

    When the referee Joe Crawford blew the whistle to end the third quarter, the Boston Celtics players lowered their heads and slowly walked to the team's bench.  Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers clasped his hands with a serious expression on his face.

    "Hey, Doc, we haven't lost the game yet!" Paul Pierce said to coach Doc Rivers.

    "Of course we haven't lost the game yet!" Coach Doc Rivers said seriously, "However, there is an indisputable fact that the game in the fourth quarter will definitely be quite difficult!"

    Paul Pierce said nothing more and nodded silently.

    ¡°And our performance in this quarter was not good at all!¡± Coach Doc Rivers continued.

    "This is my fault!" Paul Pierce said.

    "I don't mean to blame you!" Coach Doc Rivers said, "I mean, we really need to make some adjustments to attack the Indiana Pacers' solid defense!"

    Hearing what Coach Doc Rivers said, Rajon Rondo also turned to look at Coach Doc Rivers.

    "Rajan, no matter what you think in your heart, you must hand the ball to Ray Allen after the fourth quarter begins!" Coach Doc Rivers looked at Rajon Rondo and said with a  He said in a tone that left no room for negotiation.

    Rajon Rondo glanced at Ray Allen, who was sitting not far away, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
