03 The rebirth of the second place Milicic

Banks dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Milicic pulled up to the high post and shouted to Banks: "Give me the ball!" Banks knew that Milicic had a certain role in Rivers' formation.

The tactical status of the ball was not ambiguous at the time. He handed the ball to Milicic and then moved it to the bottom corner.

Milicic grabbed the ball with one hand, raised the ball high above his head, pointed the other hand at Williams inside, and said: "Get out!"

Ollie wanted to jump up behind Milicic and swat the ball away. Milicic had already understood his intention. He took a step forward and looked at Banks, who was unguarded in the corner, making a pass.

He pulled it back halfway, but Williamson's attention was attracted for a moment, and Milicic rushed past him. Skinner, who came to defend, stood in front of Milicic in a hurry.

But his position was in the reasonable collision zone. Milicic jumped up with both hands and smashed the ball into the basket as if he had not seen Skinner. Skinner's arrival only gave Milicic one more free throw.

And it gives this offense a context and makes it even more exciting.

After scoring the goal, Milicic beat his chest and kept roaring, like a beast escaping from its cage.

The fans in the North Shore Garden were also crazy about it, and the DJ on the scene was also stimulating everyone's atmosphere. Heinsohn, who had witnessed the Celtics' championship trophies one after another as a player, coach, and commentator, was also at this moment.

After calming down, he stood up and said: "Here I want to say sorry to everyone who has underestimated this kid. It is a sin not to let such a genius play on the field!"

There was jubilation on the Celtics bench, and team boss Pierce was shaking his towel and shouting. Rivers looked at this passionate scene. This is the team he wants: a solid star in charge, and a technical team.

A comprehensive inside cornerstone, a group of rookies with impact and learning ability, and veterans who can hold down the situation.

The 76ers replaced Skinner and replaced Dalembert, whose height and strength limited Milicic, and the shooting guard was replaced by Salmons to strengthen the team's firepower.

Milicic made a free throw, and the score difference was only 5 points.

The 76ers in this era have completely declined. Even if there are future All-Star players like Iguodala among the rookies, and even if Chris Webber will be traded in the middle of the season, it still cannot slow down the decline of the 76ers.

The 76ers relied too much on Iverson. Without Iverson, the 76ers would be a completely inferior team. All tactics were designed for him.

The Celtics without Pierce still have Ricky Davis, Darko Milicic, Al Jefferson and other players, but without the 76ers, Iverson can't even be called a 76ers.

.

In this way, at the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 35, and Milicic, who had only played half a quarter, had already scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Such data would even take him a week in the Pistons.

to get it.

Off the court, Iverson looked at his players with a sinister face. He was angry and a little sad. He knew that this year was likely to be another year of nothing. Maybe he would win the scoring or steals title, but he

We are getting further and further away from the championship.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Iverson once again took the field. He wanted to use his actions to let Milicic know what the NBA is, and he wanted to use his actions to win everyone's respect, even if he didn't win a championship.
