11. Advance

The defeat in the sixth game obviously had an impact on the Boston Celtics. Although many of the players in their lineup had experienced countless storms, such a reversed game obviously changed their mentality quietly, and this impact was continued to the seventh game.

The Celtics lost their standards in Game 7. From the first minute of the game, they fell into extremely unhappy adversity. The unfeeling game state made them completely lose the enthusiasm they had when they won the previous few games.

The Boston fans who came to North Shore Garden that night seemed to feel like they were back in the second game of this series, and the feeling of powerlessness even made them not even motivated to boo the Clevelanders.

No one expected that the semi-finals that had been playing up and down before this would become like this in the seventh game, with such an unexpected beginning, because this was the seventh game, a game that determines life and death, but it seemed that the beginning was clear about the advantages and disadvantages.

The Cavaliers played an encouraging rhythm at the beginning, and a 10-0 wave of Xiao Gaochao directly allowed them to establish a considerable lead at the beginning. The only difference between the second game was that it was not only Wu Dawei who performed in this game, but Wu Dawei was just one of the heroes of this 10-0. Other players of the Cavaliers also performed well.

Although the Celtics head coach Doug Rivers reacted very quickly, he quickly asked for a timeout to ease the situation at an extremely disadvantage on the court, but when the timeout came back, the Boston Celtics' situation did not change any good.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers who played away were extremely smooth that night. At 28:15, the Cavaliers got a huge advantage of 13 points at the end of the first quarter, which undoubtedly inspired the whole team. At the same time, it also made the Cavaliers players feel a little relaxed in their mentality.

On the contrary, on the other hand, the Boston Celtics who played at home, several old guys were somewhat inadequate in such a situation, which also gave the Cavaliers a chance.

In the second quarter, at the beginning, the Cavaliers' substitute lineup also wiped out the sluggishness of the previous games. Antoine Jamison, as the Cavaliers' scoring champion in the regular season, led the Cavaliers to perform well in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Boston Celtics did not cause any big obstacles to the Cavaliers. The 13-point gap was not only not narrowed, but also had a tendency to be expanded.

At the end of the half-time game, the score became 55:40. The Boston Celtics only scored 40 points in the half, and the score difference was widened by the Cavaliers to as much as 15 points.

Such a situation made Boston fans in North Shore Garden Arena somewhat disappointed with the team's performance. Before the start of this series, they never thought of being a stepping stone for a dark horse team.

In their opinion, being able to encounter the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round would be like encountering an Atm ATM. But from the current perspective, it is very likely that the Boston Celtics will become the Boston Celtics...

Wu Dawei's performance in this game was not very good, nor could he say he was not outstanding. He could only say that he was not outstanding in the team. He had 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the half. In addition, the player who scored the most points in the first half of the Cavaliers tonight was point guard Changsey Billups.

Billups' halftime statistics were 18 points and 3 assists; in addition to Billups, Andre Valecho, who has always been a blue-collar player in the team, also had excellent performances, with 8 points and 11 rebounds.

The Cavaliers can be said to have completely dominated the first half of Game 7, and the Bostonians had no power to fight back, leaving them with no hope in this game.

Even though the fifteen-minute break at the end of the midfield gave the Boston Celtics a great chance to breathe, the Bostonians who played at home after returning from the game still did not improve in the game.

The third quarter did not stage a Jedi counterattack as Boston fans imagined during the break. The Cavaliers were always the leader on the court.

Even Kevin Garnett, who has always been very powerful in this round of the series, performed a little abnormally tonight. In this way, the Boston Celtics' hopes for this game are even more slim.

There were no players who did not perform well in the game, and all the players were in a bit sluggish, and the scores behind on the court were quite large. No matter how you think the Boston Celtics won't be very good in tonight's game.

At the end of the third quarter, the score had become a huge difference of 78:62. The Cleveland Cavaliers brought into the fourth quarter. The feeling of despair was even more like a storm coming, appearing on the heads of the Bostonians like a storm. The depressed atmosphere before the rain made them completely unable to breathe.

Because in the eyes of many people, the Boston Celtics are about to be eliminated!

Although the Cavaliers replaced all the main players off the court to rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Celtics still retained several starters, although there were only the last 12 minutes left in the game, but no matter how desperate it was, the old guys in Boston naturally didn't want to give up the game so easily.

However, reality will never be varied by human will. Although the Boston Celtics tried to make a final effort in the fourth quarter, they still couldn't cross the 16-point gap.

When the fourth quarter ended, the score was frozen at a score of 102:90, the Boston Celtics also officially ended all their own journeys.

After they swept their opponents in excellent form in the first round, they did not expect that they would end up being eliminated while playing so hard in the second round.

This is certainly a completely different situation than what they thought before the start of this series, but now the fact has happened. On this night on May 24, the Boston North Shore Garden Arena witnessed their defeat. Under the gaze of more than 20,000 Boston fans, in the seventh game of life and death, the Boston Celtics were beaten by the Cleveland Cavaliers without any power to fight back.

The 12-point difference is much milder than the game process. If the Cavaliers hadn't been lazy in the last few minutes, the difference might have become bigger.

In this game that was almost close to the massacre, Wu Dawei did not perform very amazingly. He scored 19 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and only played for 30 minutes in the whole game, which can indirectly show how uncompetitive this game is.

You should know that before that, Wu Dawei averaged 40 minutes of playing time in the playoffs!

The best player of the Cavaliers is point guard Chauncey Billups. In this game, Billups played 34 minutes and contributed 27 points and 9 assists. On the bench, veteran Antoine Jamison also performed very well, contributing 21 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes.

On the Boston Celtics side, Kevin Garnett was the best performer, but he only scored 18 points and 12 rebounds tonight; Ray Allen's three-pointer was completely inaccurate tonight, which was also one of the reasons for the Celtics' defeat. He made 6 three-pointers in the game and scored only 12 points; Paul Pierce, who faced Wu Dawei, only contributed 10 points and 6 rebounds.

When the whistle was blown, the series of the last game finally came to an end after the last game! The Cleveland Cavaliers, who entered the Eastern Conference semi-finals as a dark horse, once again completed their transformation. They will continue their dark horse journey without stopping, while the Boston Celtics, who were eliminated by them, stopped their increasingly aging steps.

The Boston fans at North Shore Garden Arena were all depressed and disappointed at this time. The defeat was unexpected and they were completely unpredictable.

When the whistle sounded, all the previous disputes ended. Although the Boston Celtics lost this series, the disappointed Boston fans still gave their favorite players a cheer and applause at this time.

The players on both sides did not leave the stadium immediately. Everyone walked back to the stadium after the game, an informal but routine farewell ceremony.

Of course, Wu Dawei felt a little surprised when he advanced in such a victory, but at this time, of course, he would not consider these things. All he left was the joy of advancing in the next round.

But Wu Dawei also knew that this was not the time to celebrate, because when he walked onto the stadium, the first person to come towards him was the soul of the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, who had always faced Wu Dawei in this round of the series.

Facing this veteran who has always faced him in this round of the series, Wu Dawei still has enough respect. At least for the overall feeling of the Boston Celtics, Wu Dawei is much better than his opponent in the last round, Miami Heat, who was also his old club in the last round.

At least they will face the defeat calmly after losing the game and defeat their opponents generously. Instead of walking straight back to the locker room like Dwayne Wade, LeBron James.
