May 3, 1981

Boston Gardens, Boston, Massachusetts

In the desperate situation of "win or go home", the Celtics won two consecutive games, successfully dragging the series to the ultimate showdown - tiebreaker.

Before the Cavaliers completed the great achievement of two and three in 2016, James said that G7 is the most beautiful word in the world.

He definitely said this from the bottom of his heart.

Because he fully believes that his team will win the game.

The same is true for the Celtics at this time. They have a glorious history of 1-3 in counterattacking the 76ers, the worst home environment in the league, a united team, and a heart to pursue victory.

Before Game 7, Louis concluded that the success or failure of the tiebreaker game depends on the success rate of the positional battle between the two sides. This is exactly the advantage of the Celtics.

Therefore, in addition to the original arrangement, Louis added a call to prevent Bobby Jones' shooting in the matchmaking task arranged for Sampson - once Andrew Tony was found to break through with the ball, he would go forward and put pressure at all costs.

In a pre-match interview, Bird told CBA reporters: "Whoever has the greatest determination and courage will win this game."

Dr. J, the core player of the 76ers, has another remark.

"We respect the Celtics more than other teams in the league, and likewise, we hate the Celtics more than other teams." Dr. J paused, and a sharp arc flashed out of his elegant face. "We won't let history repeat itself."

Louis met Jack McMahon, the super scout of the 76ers in the garden.

He did something that future fans could not imagine - smoking in the garden.

This is what happened in the NBA game scene before the 1990s. Before the game started, people in the arena were allowed to smoke.

"Uncle Jack, are you here to send 76ers for the last trip?" Louis asked provocatively.

McMahon was choked.

"Little kid, who loses and who wins is not sure!" He deliberately turned up the volume to enhance his momentum, but the person was too round and could not see the momentum no matter how he looked at it.

With Game7's jump ball, Ranbill defeated Dawkins again.

He gave Bird the ball and the game began.

Unfortunately, Archibald's pass to Ranbir did not control his strength and went out of bounds.

The 76ers handed their first offense to the Doctor.

Unlike before, the doctor was full of murderous aura tonight. When he saw Maxwell, he started to break out and hit the basket and hit the pocket formation.

Maxwell put pressure on him, Ranbill definitely made small moves, Bird covered his last shot from the side, and his ball was hit without shooting. The outstanding explosive force allowed him to grab the offensive rebound on the spot, and again, another fierce basket collision, and was blocked again.

He started the third time and created Ranbir's defensive foul.

Dr. J scored one of two free throws.

The Celtics' response was also strong. Archibald was disturbed by Dawkins and missed. Ranbill won the rebound and passed it to the periphery, and Maxwell got the ball and hit the basket again, but there was still no.

But Bird hit Caldwell Jones' chest with an elbow, and he was about to get under the basket, and he almost stopped the rebound without taking off. He shot a fake shot and made a shot.

Fierce physical contact appeared.

Someone started to fall to the ground.

Dawkins' physical fitness played a certain effect in this barbarian hand-to-hand combat, and he scored again for the 76ers with a slam dunk.

Archibald was hit by two people in a dribble. Lionel Hollins slipped down to grab the ball, and he also stirred up the center of gravity of the elf.

But the elf is worthy of being an elf. He can still control the ball with one foot. His other foot is his axial foot, and he will never move and does not violate the rules. Chicks was frightened by this scene and the defense did not respond.

Archibald stood up and saw Chicks breaking the defensive distance, so he jumped at the free throw line.

The ball enters.

4 to 3

"Ralph, pay attention to Larry's position."

Louis suddenly said.

Sampson looked at the basket and since Louis arranged for Bird to attack, defend and four, Bird seemed to have been opened to Ren and Du meridians.

He himself was also awake and knew that he could fight the opponent's No. 4 position at the basket.

Against the 76ers, the hardness of the penalty area is crucial.

Because Dawkins is a beast with great physical fitness and peak, he has a peak Howard-like figure. As long as he is not stupid, no one in the Celtics can fight him head-on. Bird looks like a set in front of him, but he can just stick to Dawkins' body, use all small moves to drive him out of the rebound position, and then use his bread-like bounce to get offensive rebounds.

Another one!

The moment Bird took the offensive rebound, he took the initiative to find Black Jones behind him to fight. The elbow made Sampson's scalp numb.

Bird used elbow strikes as a medium for seconding power, and his ordinary body actually rose up under the basket.

The two major insiders Dawkins and Black Jones were unable to do anything to him.

7 to 6

"Is this still playing basketball?"

When Dawkins grabbed the offensive rebound on the offensive end, Ranbill hit his chest hard, Bird made small moves on his waist, and this powerful and powerful fierce player could not even pick up the ball and lay on the ground, Sampson sighed.

"This is basketball."

It’s better to say that this is the basketball in the memory of many old fans.

Savage, rough, full of confrontation, and various violent actions that were not fouled.

The doctor went tonight. Louis had never seen him fight so hard, standing in the penalty area of ​​a million people. He jumped past like a fairy, grabbing the basketball with his huge palm and scoring a point.

9 to 7

"Hey, keep it steady!" Louis stepped forward and shouted, "Larry, control the rhythm! Tiny, don't just look at the penalty area!"

Fitch roared every round, but his roar was the same, but Louis's orders were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The players had already put him in the same position as the head coach.

Archibald listened to Louis's words, and Bird covered his back in the right elbow area.

Maxwell ran to the short corner area on the right to receive the ball. The doctor did not follow him, so he took action.

The ball enters!

It's Dawkins again. From the sixth game, he seemed to have changed his engine supercar, and his combat effectiveness increased by several levels.

The 76ers' offense could not hit the pain point of the Celtics. He took the ball at the low post, pushed Ranbir, and turned over and made a jump shot to hit the board.

"This trick is called 'I'll fuck you up'!" he shouted bravely.

This point must be guarded against.

Louis and Fitch once again reached a consensus.

Dawkins has to hold it down, how to press it? If he insists on using the difficult move of turning over and shooting to score points, the pocket array will be useless to him. Therefore, a person with talent that can reach him should be defended.

There is only one suitable candidate for 76ers.

They looked at Sampson together.

Bird once again dominated the penalty area before Sampson came on the field against Dawkins.

It is hard to imagine how he used his body to grab the rebound in the confrontational penalty area, and under the attack of Dawkins, Black Jones and Dr. J, in an unprecedented way - a straight-arm throw shot from the back basket and hit the board.

Johnny Most said loudly the famous comment from Celtic legend Bob Cousey to Bird: "Larry came to the world to set new indicators for all basketball techniques!"

13 to 12

The Celtics took the lead, and the 76ers requested a pause.

Both coaching staff believe that this game needs to be changed and the lineup must be adjusted.
Chapter completed!
