The fourth game of the Celtics and Bucks series, the third quarter of the game, has been seen as the balance of victory has gradually shifted in favor of the Milwaukee who play at home. Unexpectedly, a veteran flashed out of the Green Army formation, and at the end of the beat, the horse spear scored 16 points with a 100% hit rate, almost single-handedly killing the bucks' crazy counterattack and completing the feat of riding the savior alone. At the end of the day, the veteran threw out a sentence of "I don't like what he said and did to me, so this turned on my switch", and then flicked his sleeve away, hiding his merit and name. The veteran is none other than Al Horford, who is already 36 years old.
The Boston Celtics have long been seen as a team that belongs to the Double Probing Flower. During danny Angie's reign, they had countless opportunities to pick up a handful of draft picks in jason Tatum or Jaylen Brown, swapped the change and accelerated the pace of reconstruction. But the Green Army has not done this, but patiently waited for the double probe flower to grow into an All-Star and even a superstar of the league's top five. At the same time, another question also arises, who is the team boss in the double probe flower?
After watching the G4 battle between the Green Army and the Bucks, I believe that another answer will appear in everyone's mind - perhaps many people have forgotten that in the 2007 draft, the spirited Al Horford was also selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the third pick. Could it be that the Green Army's real double probes are Horford, who contributed 16 points in the final quarter, and Tatum, who scored 12 points in the fourth quarter? Horford, who is called the "ball blind appraiser", is obviously the more dazzling one.
In this campaign, a total of 3 players in the stadium scored 30+ points. It is worth mentioning that Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 34 points in 32 shots, compared with Tatum, who scored 30 points on 24 shots, which is obviously much more efficient. But Al Horford was enough to dwarf the two new-generation star strikers who were supposed to be the protagonists of the series — Horford made just 14 shots but seized 11 of them, including 5-of-7 shooting from beyond the three-point line.
This isn't the first time Horford has exploded in the playoffs. In the third game between the two sides, despite the green army's defeat, Horford became one of the few bright spots in the team, and when Tatum lost on the offensive end, it was Horford's record-winning 22 points and 16 rebounds that kept the suspense of the game to the last minute. The key basket that would have made him a hero did not win time in the end. And the regret of this ball was completely compensated by the ordinary performance of the "ball blind appraiser" in the four battles.
After watching these two games, I am afraid that I have a clearer and deeper understanding of the answer to who is the strongest probing flower in the Green Army - that is, the third show in 2007, the 36-year-old Who taught alphabet brother a lesson. And the person who opened Pandora's box is not someone else, it is the Greek monster himself, I believe that the alphabet brother himself is also extremely annoyed, why bother to provoke this good gentleman who is personable on the court?
Shortly after the start of the third quarter, Brother Alphabet once again staged a signature violent bombing basket, instantly igniting the Fei Zhe Forum Arena. It's just that the Greek monster buckles, and has to provoke Horford, who is a defensive player, and also put on the exclusive skill of old Zhan "Pupil of Death". This stare was completely out of the ordinary, and Horford was enraged.
This gentleman, who is extremely humble inside and outside the field, who is regarded as a winner in life when marrying Miss World, but who is often accused of lack of morale because of too favorable conditions, turns out to be terrifying once provoked. In a post-match interview, Horford admitted: "At that moment, I was really focused. I understood what the team needed, I just stood up and gave it my all. Of course, the clear-eyed people can see that this is a veteran who has been in the league for many years, giving Fang Gang a little respect for the flesh and blood, a little lesson.
It's just that this lesson is a little too profound for the bucks who are so eager to win. Even though Kun Kun regrets everything, but the wood has become a boat, The alphabet brother can only hope that his gaze will not lay the groundwork for this, which will have a subtle impact on the final trend of the entire series. With the two sides back on the same running line, can the Green Army, which regained home field advantage, have the last laugh? Will Al Horford continue his supernatural play?
