Chapter 115 The Most Powerful Brain In Nba! The Big Three Of The Green Army Are Fully Prepared!
The Celtics are strong.
If you put him into the teams that have won the championship in previous years, they are all very strong.
Garnett integrates offense and defense, and supports the defensive system alone.
Pierce has a kaleidoscope of offense and can compete 50-50 with Kobe Bryant and James.
The top 3D player at the moment and the number one in history, Ray Allen.
The best blue-collar, best human shield Perkins.
Rondo, the playmaker who can defend, is full of firepower, and still has the ball in his hands.
With such a team that has defense, shooting, depth, and depth, it doesn't feel full of pressure wherever it goes.
If the wheel of history had not rolled astray,
The Celtics in the 2008-09 season will soon usher in a 19-game winning streak and stand far ahead of the league!
Let's just say,
If Rivers wasn't sitting on the coaching bench.
This Celtics team has almost no weaknesses.
Of course, if you think about it from another angle, the Celtics can even take Rivers away, which shows how powerful their lineup is.
And it is such a team,
Who would have thought that the Thunder would lead by points at the start!
Not only did I not expect it,
Before the game, many fans even believed that the Celtics would definitely grind the Thunder to the ground.
after all
As the Thunder team, which has been in the limelight recently and has been put under the microscope, no fan knows this.
It is precisely because I know the Thunder that I know the gap in hard power between the Thunder's "437" and the Celtics.
But tonight's game was so unexpected.
Although the Celtics came with competition, their starting condition was obviously not good.
Ray Allen tried two shots from the outside as soon as the game started, but both three-pointers missed the frame.
And seeing that Ray Allen's touch was not good,
As the man who took on all the singles after the Celtics' tactics failed, Pierce stepped forward and wanted to try.
When he met Pierce, a floor-flowing ceiling player who could force a 50-50 split with anyone, he faced Chen Hao.
Tragedy happened.
Even if Pierce, as a technical player, lights up all the skill trees of the offense.
But what a coincidence,
His style of play is exactly what Chen Hao has restrained.
When Pierce twisted his butt, like a court boss, he started a constipated attack.
He originally thought that his shots and breakthroughs would be like usual. It would look like his opponent could block the shot with a slight jump, but the ball would just get into the net.
But he didn't expect,
He was proud of his playing style and met Chen Hao, who had a taller wingspan than him and was one of the best in history in terms of physical talent.
Others can't take the risk, but Chen Hao is really ruthless!
Just like swatting a fly, this kind of shooting that beats people with strong rhythm is accurate every time!
As soon as the game started, Pierce received two consecutive blocks.
That's right,
Pierce is the ceiling of technical floor flow, and Chen Hao's current defensive ability is also the most afraid of technical attack.
But Pierce's floor-playing style is not as varied as Jokic's twisting left and right, nor is it Manu Ginobili's unexpected snake-like twisting.
It's a style of play that relies on physical talent and rhythm changes.
Old fans who have watched Pierce play will know that Pierce's singles are never the way to completely throw people away or pass them by.
so,
It's not surprising that Chen Hao can block shots for him one after another.
It was because of Ray Allen's poor start and Pierce's continuous offensive setbacks that the Thunder launched a wave of offensive attacks during continuous defensive counterattacks.
If it is an ordinary coach, he may call a timeout at this time.
Just relying on the Celtics' lineup advantage, casually adjusting the players' status and emphasizing tactics may be effective immediately and turn the situation around.
But the Celtics head coach is no ordinary coach.
Rivers, as the essence of human beings who have been reversed, did not panic at all after seeing the Celtics being beaten. He still sat on the sidelines with his old spirit.
then,
Pierce, who suffered continuous offensive setbacks, was obviously a little over the top.
He looks more social than Melon, and he can score 50 points on James who is at his peak. He directly asks for the ball and chooses to continue playing Chen Hao in singles.
This time, he was more cautious.
Test steps, shooting fakes, post-ups... He added more changes on the offensive end. At first, Chen Hao was not used to it.
After a series of stumbles, Pierce scored a goal with a mid-range shot that was as steady as an old dog.
Immediately Chen Hao discovered that even if Ersi's offense was swaying, it would be in vain as long as he didn't make blind adjustments.
Pierce was once again hit hard.
In the first four minutes, I had three hot pot meals!
Can Pierce not freeze in place and misfire again?
Not to mention a misfire, it will all be extinguished.
The Thunder took this opportunity to widen the point difference to ten points!
The team that won the championship last year was actually ten points ahead of a new team that had been in the league for less than a year?
God knows how many Green Army fans are in front of the TV at this moment, with blank eyes in their eyes.
Fortunately at this time,
After being reminded by assistant coach Ty Lonlue, Rivers finally called a timeout.
And after returning from the pause,
The fierce but wise, fanatical and calm Celtics finally came back with Garnett's roar.
It's like changing a team,
When Pierce calmed down and handed the ball over to Long for guidance, the Celtics' offense instantly became orderly.
Garnett pulls to the high post for a pick-and-roll,
Rondo borrowed Garnett's pick-and-roll and went straight to the inside.
Just when everyone in the Thunder thought Rondo was going to force Watson and shrink the flanks to double-team.
Rondo broke into the paint, waved his hand, and the basketball was as accurate as a cannonball, and was sent to the hands of Ray Allen who had just come out of his pocket on the other side.
Completely large space,
Even if Ray Allen's hand feels bad, he just catches the ball and pulls it out without any hesitation.
Just like the nickname of Gentleman's Sword, Ray Allen's jump shot is crisp and clean, and his body is as straight as a sharp sword.
The basketball thrown from his hand was like a sword that pierced the throat.
The hand raised the knife and dropped it, the net flew, and the three points were collected.
If an offensive turn could be a coincidence,
Then the next attack round,
Rondo told everyone with practical actions that the Celtics' tactics were drawn by him.
I saw Rondo comfortably lob the ball to Garnett in the low post.
Immediately follow the gap and cut into the inside lane.
As soon as he stepped into the penalty area, Garnett hit the ground and passed the ball back to Rondo.
At this moment, Rondo is in a bad situation.
Watson is chasing after him, and Durant is helping to defend in the front.
Under such circumstances, Rondo passed the ball behind his head without anyone looking at the moment when the two were surrounded, and passed the ball to Perkins who was following up on the other side.
See the empty basket again,
Perkins' unpretentious rebounding added two more points for the Celtics.
This is the same coach Long who slept every day in high school, got perfect scores on exams, played poker with Wade, and won 50,000 greenbacks in two hours.
His high IQ, high golf IQ and ability to read the game are simply terrifying.
You can know when, where and where your teammates will be without looking at people!
Just by passing the ball, you can tear through the Thunder's defense!
He is indeed the most powerful brain in the NBA that can be memorized by just taking a look at the opponent's tactics.
The whole league is waiting for him to retire as a coach.
Under Rondo's control, the Celtics' offense was revitalized.
Unlike other Big Three teams,
The compatibility of this Celtic team is perfect
Therefore, when such a team-oriented team is in operation, it is like a millstone turning into fine stone, grinding the Thunder's defense into slag.
Just like the metaphor of the fans,
"The Celtics are like a stable old car. They can squeeze out their opponents with a slow pace, and then use one or two waves of fast attacks to smash their opponents into a pulp!"
Facing such an opponent, Chen Hao, who had been taken to the corner to smoke by Pierce, was helpless in his heart.
As long as he dares to be distracted and let Pierce go,
Pierce, who dares to fight and can fight hard, will definitely make the Thunder pay a heavier price.
I can tell,
Compared with their opponents in the first two games, the Celtics carefully studied the Thunder before the game.
Taking Chen Hao away and targeting the Thunder's weak lineup can be said to be a real hit on the Thunder's sore spot.
I didn’t see Chen Hao’s sweep and defense missing.
Joakim Noah, who mainly defended Garnett, was almost beaten to a pulp!
Joakim Noah, who played well in the first two games, was taught a hard lesson tonight and paid a lot of tuition.
Even though Garnett is in his early thirties, he seems not as exciting as when he was young.
But he is still at the tail end of his peak, and he is more experienced.
It's easy to beat Joakim Noah, who is only in his second year.
First, he went down the pick-and-roll with Rondo, used flexible steps, turned his hand and hooked the board like a defender, and scored a goal.
Then, there was another pick-and-roll with Rondo, but this time it was a two-pointer after the outside bomb, which stabilized the life.
Finally, he used his wingspan like a giant spider to complete a make-up dunk on Joakim Noah's head.
After dunking on his head, Joakim Noah, who was a little annoyed and angry, was like a young man who was severely beaten by society when he first entered society. He pushed Garnett with a blushing face.
Seeing that Xiaopacai is not very good at playing football, he has a very bad temper.
Garnett also refused to give in. With a big bald head on his head, he stepped forward with a headbutt, showing his true character as a tough guy.
Immediately, the smell of gunpowder on the court became strong.
Along with the pushing and shoving, all kinds of trash talk floated on the court.
With the exception of Junzi Lei, the Celtics, who were almost all villains, were making even more progress and pressing forward step by step.
If the referee hadn't realized something was wrong and called two technical fouls after pulling everyone away, a fight would probably have started.
And not just on the offensive end, the Celtics have been prepared.
On the defensive end, the Celtics have done their homework. 5.0
The Celtics, who had exerted enough intensity, used the tactics of flanking on the line to the extreme.
With Rondo, Ray Allen, and Pierce double-teaming, and Garnett assisting in defense, every Thunder shot was uncomfortable.
Especially when the ball is not in Chen Hao's hands, the Celtics' double attack on the Thunder's ball handler is simply the intensity of the playoffs.
Just don't give Chen Hao a chance to catch the ball easily.
Under such defensive intensity, even Chen Hao felt a little uncomfortable playing.
Not to mention others.
Durant has disappeared...
Without being invisible, he can't do much.
His thin body, in this era, is like a small boat floating in the sea under the intensity of defense in the playoffs.
Elbow, pull, press...
When two people scuffle and fall in the backcourt, a foul is not necessarily called. Durant, who has insufficient confrontation ability, has no use no matter how good his touch is.
no doubt,
Halftime ended until halfway through the third quarter.
The Thunder's short-lived lead at the beginning was not only quickly tied, but even fell behind by 23 points!
It was the first time the Thunder fell behind by so many points, and the whole team was frustrated.
The huge Chesapeake Energy Arena was muted.
It is only because of the real gap in hard power that people are even more desperate.
