With the painstaking management of Danny Angie, the Celtics quickly got rid of the Big Three era and quickly gained competitiveness and returned to the playoffs.

But until now, they still haven't found the next core.

Not to mention the next Bill Russell and Larry Bird, they can't even find the next Paul Pierce now.

The biggest card in the backcourt is the strongest card in the ground 175, and the biggest card in the frontcourt is Al Horford, who is drunk and dreamy and dreamy every time he is blown up by Li Xing.

Li Xing can definitely be regarded as Horford's nightmare. He was often exposed when he was in the Eagle, and now it is the same.

"If we expect Al Horford to fight against Rachi Lee on the court, we might as well be a vicious person - I mean, let's close our hands now and pray that Rachi Lee will have a car accident on the way to the garden. This is the only way we can stop him from entering the inside!"

"What? This method is too vicious? Should we believe Al? Believe that Al Pacino is as powerful as his body? This friend, do you have any deep hatred with Al Horford? Don't you know that as long as these two people are facing each other, Al could be beaten to death by Dante?"

"If you have any doubts about Dante's dominance, you are welcome to check out the game videos from a few years ago. It is guaranteed to be not a mosaic resolution. YouTube is everywhere, just look for the Raptors and Hawks playoffs. As long as you finish watching, you will know what I'm talking about."

The first of the surface, Kemibill Simmons, wrote helplessly and viciously in his article.

Before the series began, the Raptors conducted a certain degree of research on the Celtics.

Regarding how to defend the strongest 175 on the surface, Snyder's arrangement can be said to be cruel. With this game, all the things Isaiah Thomas has accumulated this year will be defeated.

His height is his biggest reverse scale, and basketball is a giant sport after all. Even if Thomas Jr. plays a similar performance to the "efficient version of Ray Allen", his weaknesses cannot be erased.

"Keep a close eye on their conversion every time."

"This is a united team full of cohesion and centripetal force. They can give up everything for each other, remember that the whole team is willing to give up their own opportunities to create opportunities for Isaiah Thomas."

"This is particularly critical and is also an important reason for their success!"

"But, the person they rely on is about to become their biggest loophole on the field."

The defensive problems brought by Thomas Jr. are always there. To use him, the wings must be equipped with defensive players, or a big gate in the interior. If there are all better, even if the Celtics are the strongest wing defense line in the league, the problems exposed by Thomas Jr. are only used to remove the east wall and repair the west wall, and the problem cannot be completely solved.

And now, Snyder aimed at this point.

Dragic, DeRozan, Middleton and even Banyani and Li Xing were all thinking about how to make a fuss about Thomas Jr.

They don't care how tall the other party is, nor do they care whether they will be ridiculed by fans when doing so. Their purpose is the same, that is, to defeat the Celtics in the easiest way.

So, Game1.

The news of the death of the little Thomas sister brought a deep sadness to this round of the series.

He had every reason to miss the game. He could explain to the team how sad he was, but he still participated and he wanted to give the victory to his sister in heaven.

This is a typical Celtic story.

The Celtic players have basically had such stories in history, all of which are very touching.

For those who support them, this story will be very encouraging, while their opponents will express regrets and do their best on the court.

Thomas Jr. would never have thought that he, who should have been an advantage, became a disadvantage after the game began.

Because of his short stature, he needs more space than others every time he attacks, while the Raptors' defense is very restricted to space; because of his short stature, others can get opportunities with one cover, and he often needs two or even three, which is not difficult for Stevens, who is smart.

However, this is just an appetizer for the opponent.

The offensive end is severe, while the defensive end is inhumane.

In the first five rounds of the first quarter, the Raptors started with the five tigers and challenged Thomas one by one in turn. What was heartbreaking is that all five single-handed matches were successful.

The most helpless time comes from Li Xing.

He got the ball outside the three-point line, and Thomas Jr. was obviously defending very seriously.

Li Xing looked around, pretending to be unable to see the defender, then lowered his head with poor acting skills and said mockingly: "Oh, you are here."

Then, a three-pointer was shot from Thomas Jr.

"Swish!"

At the end of the first quarter, the Raptors led by 18 points.

Stevens called for two pauses to adjust, but the results were not good.

Thomas, who was targeted by his opponent, lost himself in many difficulties, and the Celtics could not defeat the situation.

"Boston's ace has become the biggest loophole?"

"What will they do next?"

"I can't see any hope!"

Game2, the unlucky one is still Thomas Jr.

The first game was to go to the intensity. In this game, the Raptors started to play double-team.

The strength alone forced the little assassin to death in the first game, but he actually played double-teams in the second game? The Raptors' targeting Thomas little was so angry that they were both angry.

Even though Celtics' second leader Avery Bradley not only scored but wanted to help him clear the ball, his opponent still didn't look at him with his eyes open.

Thomas lost himself in a lot of double-teams.

He can't find offensive space, nor can he limit anyone on the Raptors on the defensive end. Even if the opponent is on the bench, he can easily crush him with his figure.

The talent became extremely dazzling at this moment.

The Celtics protected Thomas Jr. for a whole season, but he missed the league's strongest team in the semi-finals.

The castle that wrapped around him was opened, so he began to bleed heavily.

When Brogg came on the court, he kept calling the pick-and-roll misplaced and forced Thomas to take over, Celtics head coach Stevens silently replaced him.

In the fourth quarter, Thomas Jr. was abandoned.

This is a great shame for the core players.

Few superstars would accept this arrangement, but Thomas had to accept that he could do nothing.

In the fourth quarter, the Celtics dragged a 10-point difference to the end and lost the game in the most unwilling way.

"Now, a chilling on-field tidbit is broadcast."

"A well-known record for Boston fans: Isaiah Thomas is the last quarter of the season."

"And in the final quarters of G1 and G2 in the semi-finals, his score was 0."

The two games at the Raptors were finally over, and Thomas Jr. listened to the booing sounds all over the sky and bowed his head to leave. They will return to Boston, return to the garden, and return to the battlefield he is most familiar with.

There, he can still save himself.

Game3

This is a real life-and-death battle. In the first two games, the Celtics lost without any temper. They had no idea how to deal with the enemy in front of them. When they were at home, the same was true.

At this time, the little assassin burst out all his energy.

The targeted arrangement seemed to be useless, and he began to shoot several steps outside the three-point line.

He ignited the rage mode tonight.

Maybe it was the sideline poster that inspired him - "Isaiah, think of your sister!"

Boston fans inspire him in the cruelest way.

Thomas, little girl suddenly realized that this game was dedicated to her sister and that he must redeem himself here.

That night, the game was stalemate until the end, but the life still did not belong to the Celtics.

In the last minute, Li Xing first made a three-pointer and then blocked Thomas Jr.'s breakthrough.

Then, the position battle broke through and broke into the basket with the ball, completing a ruthless dunk that was scattered with bloody smell through Horford.

These two offenses completely ended the game.

Thomas Jr. scored 50 points in a spare time, but he failed to bring a victory.

He tried his best to keep hitting his opponent, and even injured his buttocks, but he still lost.

“IT played a game that made everyone proud!”

Game4

Thomas Jr. made a very Celtic move.

Go on the court with injuries.

Whether it was Russell who won countless tiebreaks with his body of sorrow, or Bird dragged his wounded back to continue the glory of the Celtics; or Pierce was almost hacked to death but magically returned to participate in the competition two weeks later, this is a typical Celtics leader.

Thomas Jr. came on the court with an injury, and his approach inspired everyone.

But, they can't win.

This is the cruelest thing.

They can't win.

After the game started, the three-pointers of Li Xing and Banyani set the tone for the game.

They will never lose this game, they will do anything that can lead to victory, and they don't want anything but win.

Thomas Jr.'s injury worsened during the game, and he failed to persist in finishing the game and left the court.

The next story is the tragedy that the remaining soldiers fought to the last moment and still could not win.

The iron blood left by Garnett, Pierce and others was still flowing in the body of this Green Army, but they lacked the backbone that could lead them to rise.

Thomas Jr. is pretty good, but he isn't good enough.

Even if he has performed phenomenally this season, it is not enough.

His performance is also inseparable from the team. He has made this system and this system has made him.

Now the Celtics were swept out by the Raptors at home, ending the series.
Chapter completed!
