: Four hundred and fifty one: Can't get twenty points

Pierce confronted Link from beyond the three-point line. He was sweating profusely and not a single inch of skin was dry.
Link stretched out a hand to block Pierce's eyes, and even this way, Link could feel the heat from Pierce's mouth.
Garnett picked up the pick and roll, Pierce started to dribble, he was about to break!
Without hesitation, Link walked around directly in front of Garnett. He is not afraid of being broken by Pierce, anyway, now Pierce has no strength and can't run fast. As long as he can block that guy's shot, he won't even want to score!
Link was full of confidence, because his defense against Pierce in the second half was extremely successful.
At this point, the game has reached the tenth minute of the fourth quarter. There are only two minutes left until the game ends. Pierce, who scored 17 points in the first half, has made only 1 of 7 shots in the second half so far!
In the third quarter, Link only allowed Pierce to score one goal. Up to now in the fourth quarter, Pierce is in a state of being zero.
"Truth"'s performance in the first and second halves is simply different, but he still wants to break the status quo, so he once again stood in front of Link with the ball, and then broke through with the screen.
Link followed Pierce to the basket, Pierce chose a direct layup!
I can see that Pierce is really tired. If placed in the first half, he will definitely make a series of fake moves under the basket. But now, Pierce just wants to seize every opportunity to score.
Pierce had just thrown the ball away, and there was no light at the basket. Link jumped a head higher than Pierce. Although he took off behind Pierce, he came from behind and stretched his arms in the air with a strong wave! Frozen is to fan Pierce's layup!
The basketball went straight to the audience, out of bounds, and the ball still belonged to the Celtics.
But now no Celtics fans feel fortunate, after this goal, Pierce has already made 1 of 8 shots! What's the point of losing the offensive knives and getting the ball again?
"The blocking from Link is too cruel. Link destroyed Pierce in a nearly cruel manner in the second half. I don't know what to say, I think Pierce should feel pretty uncomfortable by himself now." The commentator, who said Pierce could score about 40 points, is now full of black lines.
Seeing that the game was about to end, Pierce's scoring remained at 19 points, and he did not move.
Not to mention 40 points, Pierce may not even get 20 points today!
And it was the No. 0 striker who just finished the block that ended all this.
The big villain in Memphis seems to be more ruthless than the villain from Boston. People are eager to see the truth reappear, but Link's just cover seems to have killed all possibilities.
Pierce put his hands on his knees, he had no strength, even the strength to talk trash with Link.
He didn't expect that the kid would suddenly increase his defensive intensity in the second half. Now, the Celtics are 15 points behind the Grizzlies. If the score cannot be reduced as quickly as possible, the Celtics must accept a four-game losing streak!
But what can Pierce do? He found that he felt strenuous even to raise his leg now.
Garnett stood on the sideline, ready to serve. Rondo went to meet, Pierce rushed to the three-point line, but was crossed by Link.
At this moment, Link was like a solid wall. No matter how much Pierce pushed, he didn't move.
At that moment, Pierce knew in his heart that he had completely failed.
The truth was strangled in the North Shore Garden.
When Garnett's turn over jumper missed and the Celtics failed to narrow the point difference in the final 1:48, Brad Stevens called the game to a halt.
He replaced all the main players, including Mike Conley. The young marshal's move is tantamount to lighting his victory cigar.
"The Pacers replaced all the main players, Coach Stevens, and officially announced that the game has entered the garbage time."
33 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. When Link was off the field, the camera gave him a close-up. There is no doubt that Link was named the best player of the game.
In the first and second half, his performance was consistent. He showed his offensive skills to the fullest. Paul Pierce's attack on Link today was only annoying and shaking his head.
It's just that no one thought that Link would make Pierce dumb while doing his own business.
The beautiful fantasy of Celtic fans in the first half of the game disappeared with this substitution.
After returning from the timeout, Pierce was still present. But at this time he faced Tony Allen again, no one thought that Pierce could perform miracles.
Sure enough, in the last minute or so, the Celtics did not organize any decent offense, and Pierce did not score again.
The 19-minute data was kept until the last second, until the electronic buzzer tore the air in the North Shore Garden.
100 to 83, Paul Pierce and his Boston Celtics had a good halftime dream.
"It's over... This is a painful loss. After this game, the Celtics have lost four straight. Moreover, every game is behind by more than 15 points...14 With 17 wins and losses, we are still ninth in the East. But when we can return to the top eight in the East, we don’t know."
"Paul Pierce did his best in this game, but he is obviously unable to resist such an intrusion. In the second half of the game, Paul Pierce's situation seems to be the epitome of the Celtics this season. They all wanted to win, but were caught Reality is crushed."
After the game, Link looked around the North Shore Gardens. Now, here is the same as at the beginning of the game.
There was no clamor, no lights, no cheers, the weight that made people breathless, and it was pressing over the North Bank Garden Arena.
Link stood up and glanced at Pierce. That guy with strong self-esteem, naturally it is impossible to be like this, and he ran over to hug Link.
Link pouted, and it seemed that from now on, he would be even more hateful in Boston.
Pierce walked into the player aisle with a lonely face. He tried his best to fight hard and fiercely to the end.
But throughout the second half, Pierce only felt powerless.
Every offense and every defense of that No. 0 made Pierce feel suffocated. His technique, his level, made Pierce amazed.
"Paul, do you have time?" A reporter who was allowed to enter the player's channel stopped Pierce. He knew that Pierce was not in a high mood. But as a whole Celtics, Pierce is the most worthy of interview today.
Pierce glanced at the reporter, stopped, "ask."
"After this game, do you still consider yourself one of the best small forwards in the league? Better than Link?"
Pierce really wanted to punch this reporter in the face~EbookFREE.me~You don't have a pot or a pot!
"Of course, I won't change my opinion." Pierce finished speaking, ready to leave. But as soon as he took a step, he turned back and said, "However, that kid is not bad. Tonight, he is the truth."
On March 13, 2001, Paul Pierce was not yet an All-Star or a championship. But that day, he received a nickname that followed his life.
At that time Pierce didn't understand why O'Neill, as the winner, suddenly remembered using this word on himself.
Today, Pierce understood.
The reporter smiled and recorded Pierce's words truthfully. This stubborn old guy finally let go.
An hour after the game ended, a headline appeared on sports websites across the United States.
"Link-New Truth".
