Before this game started, many fans were not optimistic about the Pistons!
Because their performance in the first three games was so poor, they didn't look like a team that could make it to the Eastern Conference Finals at all!

But now, they have finally regained all their fighting spirit!
Maybe they also know that this is a fight of their life or death!

In fact, they have completely thrown away their psychological burden!
Therefore, the Pistons still have very strong strength after being completely relaxed!

Their foundation is still quite profound!

On the contrary, although the Celtics have always won, their bench is not deep enough, which is their weakness!
Especially now, it is even more obvious!
Because except for Chen Hao who performed normally, other players all experienced cold hands!

Even Al-Farouq Aminu, who always performs stably, missed many shots!
The Pistons players, except Chen Hao, did not allow any Celtics players to enter the penalty area easily!
This was originally the defensive strategy they were best at, and now they were just deploying it again!

This is why at the end of the first quarter, the two sides were only two points apart!

The commentator at the scene also shouted excitedly at this moment:

"OMG!
I finally saw a game that got me excited!
Finally, the game wasn’t ruined in the first quarter!

This is what the real playoffs are like!
The Pistons' defense is back!
Their tactics have also been implemented!

Chen Hao's performance remains stable!
But the question now is, how long can the Pistons hold on! ”

Although the Celtics are playing at home, the home fans are not in a hurry.

Because they believe in Chen Hao's ability and believe that he will lead the team to victory!
Even they themselves hope that the Pistons can fight harder and keep the score closer, so that the game will be more interesting.

For Lawrence, her purpose of coming to watch the game was Chen Hao.

Therefore, her eyes were always on Chen Hao.

Whenever she saw Chen Hao's brilliant performance on the court, her feet would involuntarily close together!
Because this reminded her of Chen Hao's madness and barbarity!

“This guy’s physical strength is really terrifying!

I'm no match for him!

It seemed like he didn't get any rest last night!
Moreover, he launched seven brutal attacks on me!

As for me, even walking has become a problem!

He can actually run all over the field now!
This guy is a beast!"

Chen Hao naturally didn’t know what Lawrence was thinking, but now he was very much looking forward to the Pistons’ performance.

It can be seen from the faces of the Pistons players that they are full of fighting spirit for this game.

Moreover, now they no longer have any fear about themselves.

Even if they were blocked by him, they still dared to challenge him and even dared to shoot in front of him!

Although the final result was ruthlessly blocked by Chen Hao, this determination is still worthy of Chen Hao's recognition!
Moreover, their determination can produce great effects on other players!

After all, not every player can have such strong defensive ability like Chen Hao!
Therefore, the Pistons players, full of determination, kept going to the free throw line to narrow the score!
As the second quarter began, the Pistons' offense became more aggressive!

Especially when they saw that the Celtics players were not in good form, they became more bold in double-teaming the other Celtics players!
This also forced Chen Hao to choose more personal attacks!

Although Chen Hao's personal offense is still quite effective, his score is still rising.

But overall, such a result is not of much benefit to the team!

Although Chen Hao is very strong, basketball is a game between five people after all!
No matter how strong Chen Hao's scoring ability is, it is impossible for him to score all the points in 48 minutes!

So, this gives the Pistons a good opportunity!

Moreover, Hamilton and Billups both found their touch and kept hitting three-pointers from the outside!
Chen Hao also had to expand his defensive range to the outside, which gave the Pistons a good opportunity to attack the inside!
As a result, the Celtics' defense was caught off guard!

Chen Hao had predicted this result, but he had no way to solve it!

After all, there is really nothing you can do if your teammates are not in good form!
When teammates saw that their touch was not good, they also began to choose to break through the inside more often and try to cause fouls on the opponent!
But the Pistons' interior defense is already very strong. They have accumulated more defensive players in the interior to prevent them from breaking through easily!
Therefore, this completely blocked their idea of ​​playing in the interior!

So, throughout the entire second quarter, the only one who could truly compete with the Pistons was Chen Hao!
Although, Chen Hao's score is still unsolvable!

But the Pistons' defense never gave up. Every time Chen Hao attacked, there would be two or three defenders in front of him!

They have already thought about it. It is normal that they cannot defend. But if Chen Hao misses the shot, then they will win!
This idea is actually crazy, but it is also very effective!

Therefore, although Chen Hao's scoring in the second quarter was still explosive, he was unable to completely widen the score gap!

Especially when many Pistons players are in good shooting form, this becomes even more difficult!

However, although the situation is not very optimistic for the Celtics, Chen Hao is not anxious at all!
He even showed great fighting spirit for this game!
This is the game he wants to play because it is very challenging!
It’s like playing a 2K game, and suddenly the difficulty is adjusted from rookie level to Hall of Fame level. The feeling is really different!

However, if you can still defeat your opponent at the difficulty of the Hall of Fame, the pleasure is incomparable!

Now, Chen Hao is going through this process, and he also wants to feel the pleasure of winning through hard work!

The first half ended with 66:65!

The Celtics are only one point ahead of the Pistons!

Such a close score makes this game full of suspense!

The commentator at the scene shouted excitedly:
"OMG!
This game was unexpectedly exciting!
The Pistons' resilience is too strong!
You know, they still lost an inside player!
In this situation, their defense is still so good!
Really want to pay tribute to them!

I look forward to the second half of the game!
I believe it will be even more exciting! ”

The fans who watched the game through live broadcast were also very excited!
The fans of Dragon Country have even started to make predictions:

"Obviously, Brother Hao is planning on making a big move!"

"In my opinion, Brother Hao will win the game in the fourth quarter!"

"He is just giving the Pistons players a little hope now!"

"By the fourth quarter, he will completely explode!"

"Brother Hao has already scored 50 points!"

"I can't imagine how many points he will score in the second half if he continues to score." "So, is he going to break the single-game scoring record in the playoffs now?"

“That’s really worth looking forward to!”

“Hopefully this is a milestone night!”

During the halftime break, the atmosphere in the Pistons locker room was very lively!

All the players were encouraging each other, and the head coach shouted loudly:

"That's it!
We played well in the first half!
We have to keep working hard in the second half!

There is only Chen Hao on the opposite side!

We are all soldiers!
Therefore, we will definitely win the final victory!

We must win this game with confidence!"

The head coach's words made the players cheer again!
At this time, the Pistons' fighting spirit is indeed very high, and they all hope to win this game to prove that they are not a fake team!
In contrast, the atmosphere in the Celtics locker room was quite calm.

Of course, except Chen Hao, the other players were a little depressed.

I originally thought that this would be another easy victory.

But I didn't expect the Pistons to fight to the death, and they looked really good.

Now, they are only one point ahead of their opponents!
What’s more, what made them most depressed was that the opponent’s defense was quite strong, and it was very difficult for them to score!

Chen Hao seemed to see through their thoughts and said with a smile:
"Hey, guys, it's only the first half.

We don't need to worry about anything!
The real decisive battle begins in the second half!
So, I still say the same thing!

When the opportunity arises, take a bold shot!

I'll take care of the rest!"

Chen Hao's calmness finally made the Celtics players calm down!

They have unconditional faith in Chen Hao; this guy's strength is beyond doubt!

If it weren’t for Chen Hao, this game would have been over long ago!

They were beaten by the Pistons!
Well, since Chen Hao is full of confidence, what do those of them who perform poorly have to worry about?

The third quarter continues!
After the halftime break, the Pistons players' physical strength recovered to a certain extent!
So, as soon as the game started, they began to attack the Celtics' inside line frantically!

When Chen Hao assists in defending the inside, they will decisively pass the ball to the outside!
At this time, whether it is Billups or Hamilton, as long as there is an opportunity, they will shoot decisively!

Moreover, their aim is quite high!

As a result, the Pistons made three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the game and directly reversed the score!

Although Chen Hao responded quickly and forced a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, he could no longer suppress the Pistons' momentum!
Their momentum has completely risen!
Not only did they make consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point line, they also frequently attacked and scored in the paint!

The current Pistons team is really a team of warriors!

Whether they are the main players or the substitute players, they only have the basket in their eyes and are not afraid of any blocking or defense at all!
At this time, Chen Hao's expression began to become serious!

Because he could see that several Pistons players had already entered the "zone" mode.

Players who enter this mode are quite scary!

As long as it is not blocked, the shot will most likely hit the target!

Because Chen Hao himself has now entered this mode, but the defense he faces is quite tight!
With so many players of the Pistons entering this mode, it is really impossible to form a tight defense against them all!

Therefore, Chen Hao is now fully firing on all cylinders!
He knew very well that in this game, he had to bring out all his best tricks!

Otherwise, you might really end up capsizing in a ditch!

So, Chen Hao began to enter the scoring mode!
Now, the only thing in his eyes is the basketball hoop!

The biggest role of his teammates is to take away the defensive players as much as possible!

Although Chen Hao can ignore the double-team defense, if the opponent uses five people to double-team him, it will be quite difficult for him to dribble the ball!
Moreover, the opponent may also commit an offensive foul on him.

Once Chen Hao gets into trouble with fouls, it will be great news for the Pistons!
Therefore, the Pistons now have completely ignored other players and focused on targeting Chen Hao!
And all Chen Hao can do is score smartly without making any mistakes!

Even the home fans know how difficult this game is!
"Damn it, Chen Hao had such a hard time in this match!"

"He has already scored 60 points!"

"There's still the fourth quarter to play!"

"Can he really break the single-game scoring record in the playoffs?"

"Damn it, the referee called another offensive foul on him!"

At this time, Chen Hao had just received another offensive foul!
Now he has four personal fouls!

There are still five minutes left until the end of the third quarter!
At this time, it is quite difficult for the Celtics!
Rivers has two choices:
First, replace Chen Hao, protect him, and then bring him back to the court in the fourth quarter;
Second, continue to let Chen Hao stay on the court, because only Chen Hao can contain the Pistons!

Both options have huge risks, and no matter which one is chosen, it will bring great trouble to the Celtics!
In the end, Rivers chose the first one and replaced Chen Hao!
Because the Pistons are only 5 points ahead of the Celtics now, the difference is not very big, so it is allowed for Chen Hao to go off the court to rest!
In Rivers' opinion, as long as the score difference can be controlled within 10 points at the end of the third quarter, Chen Hao may be able to equalize the score in the fourth quarter!

However, Rivers overlooked an important issue, that is, the condition of other players on the Celtics is really not good!

After Chen Hao left the court, the gap between the two sides was widened to 15 points in just five minutes!
Now, the Celtics are in real trouble!

The commentator at the scene even laughed and joked:
"Obviously, the Celtics are running out of time!

If Chen Hao continues to be absent at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Celtics will be in danger!
But if he is allowed to come on the court quickly, the number of fouls he commits will be quite dangerous!
In short, I already feel that the balance of victory is beginning to tilt towards the Pistons!
However, the Pistons' performance today was worthy of victory in this game!

You know, Chen Hao had already scored 60 points after three quarters! "
