Chapter 116 Breaking The Situation! Welcome To The Nba!
If Ray Allen is the back-and-forth assassin, Pierce is the front-facing spear.
Then Garnett is the commander in charge.
This Celtics is not only the most reasonable team with the best chemical reaction.
It can be regarded as a clear understanding of defense in the nohandcheck era.
The fifth position is guaranteed by hard rebounding.
On the front line, there is a group of fierce muscular gangsters who are good at biting.
The foundation is one of the best defensive cores in history.
With this combination,
The Celtics are one of the few teams that can provide complete defensive coverage.
Ranked first in limiting three-point shooting percentage, second in limiting two-point shooting percentage, second in controlling opponent's assists, ranking first in opponent turnover rate, and ranking first in defensive efficiency per 100 possessions.
Not only can he defend team basketball, but he can also match up with superstars.
With such strength,
Let alone the Thunder being 23 points behind, even 32 points is reasonable.
To put it bluntly,
Facing an opponent of this level, the Thunder at this moment was like a naked swimmer after the tide ebbs. The momentary gap in their hearts made everyone in the Thunder stunned.
Defensive, unable to defend.
If you attack, you can't attack.
The team with the best record in the league is now playing like it is last.
But just admit defeat like that?
No
Chen Hao, who was extremely paranoid about victory, took the lead to stand up.
Changes have to be made!
As far as the current situation is concerned, if no changes are made, it is estimated that the point difference will still be the same until the end of the game.
"I defend 09kd!"
Chen Hao's on-the-spot change of formation not only confused head coach Brooks, but also stunned Rivers on the opposite side.
Let go of Pierce and defend Nate?
Are you serious?
Putting aside whether you can guard Garnett, aren't you afraid that Pierce will take advantage of him again and take away the game?!
Chen Hao naturally understands this.
But only by doing this now can it be possible to change the situation.
Pierce had been suppressed by himself for the entire first half. For the entire first half, he scored six points with consecutive shots and fouls.
As for Garnett,
As the core of the Green Army's tactics, he not only coordinates and helps the Celtics' offense to be smoother, but also gives and asks for Joakim Noah's head.
In the second quarter alone, he scored 12 points after frequently attacking in the low post.
Therefore, faced with such a situation, Chen Hao could no longer follow Pierce to the corner to smoke and just sit back and watch.
We must be more proactive in seeking change and more proactive.
Only by switching yourself to Garnett's side can you have a chance to contain the Celtics' offense.
It is possible to capture the defense first.
To some extent, this Celtics team is not completely without weaknesses.
When Ray Allen and Pierce's hands cooled down, the only thing they could rely on was Garnett's penetration inside.
Therefore, instead of letting Garnett make waves in the paint, he can score points efficiently.
Might as well bet on Pierce and Ray Allen's outside shooting.
At least it seems now that neither of them felt very good tonight.
The theory is correct,
But reality is like life, it will never go as one wishes.
On the first possession after Chen Hao defended Garnett,
Pierce, who was liberated, only had Joe Smith of the Thunder.
When Pierce saw Chen Hao leaving, he immediately stopped smoking in the corner.
After borrowing a screen from the bottom corner, he moved to the wing to catch the ball near the free throw line.
As soon as he received the ball, Pierce played very resolutely.
Facing veteran Joe Smith who was drafted in 1995, after a continuous small rhythm swing, he put the ball into the basket in the sweet spot of the mid-range.
The moment the ball scored,
The point difference expanded from 23 points to 25 points!
Garnett turned to Chen Hao and said with a smile: "Welcome to the NBA! Rookie!"
Hearing this,
Chen Hao was stunned for a moment.
He also didn't expect that someone would still say this to him in his lifetime.
Unexpectedly, this sentence did not come from James's mouth, nor from Howard's mouth, but from Garnett's mouth.
"hehe...."
Looking at the 25-point difference, Chen Hao was really in no mood to show off his rhetoric.
In this game, his cancer will win!
As long as he stands on the court, he just doesn't want to lose!
So, during the transition between offense and defense, Chen Hao took off Uncle Drew's badge and replaced it with all the other badges.
That's right,
Just making defensive changes is not enough to chase points.
And on the offensive end, what else is more opportunity-producing? More efficient? More explosive in scoring than the familiar no-play style?
then,
After changing his badge, Chen Hao was running wildly with Garnett, who had just finished his harsh words.
Shaking, air cutting, turning back and forth, emergency stop and emergency start...
The familiar feeling is back.
Although the Rhythm Master badge is not lit up, with Chen Hao's full physical talent, the ordinary version of running without the ball is enough to scare Garnett.
After just a few back and forth, Garnett felt his knees begin to get sore.
No matter how flexible he is, he is still a tall inside player. It is really a torture for him to keep up with Chen Hao's pace and speed.
Is this kid so vengeful?
Garnett, who blamed all this on the trash talk just now, slowed down, thinking that with his defensive area, it would not matter even if he defended in two steps.
But the next moment Garnett slowed down his pace of defense,
Watson finally got rid of the trap and quickly threw the ball to Chen Hao, who had just stood still.
As a tool who can securely become the starter for the Thunder by passing the ball with one hand, Watson already has a lot of tacit understanding in passing the ball to Chen Hao.
It's the kind of thing that Chen Hao knows when he farts or poops when he takes off his pants.
Just like now, Chen Hao didn't ask for the ball and just started running without the ball.
Watson guessed that Chen Hao must want to attack without the ball.
Therefore, he, who had been silently observing Chen Hao, had just the right time to pass the ball.
After Chen Hao received the ball, he did not make any adjustments.
Bend your knees and pull up, push your elbow and move your wrist. The speed of pulling after catching the ball is similar to that of Ray Allen, but they are two completely different styles.
In the picturesque shooting action, the basketball rotated rapidly, flew out from the fingertips, drew a beautiful arc, passed over Garnett's fingertips, and fell into the net.
"brush!"
Chen Hao, who has returned to playing without the ball, feels familiar at all.
Even, because his mid-range shooting ability is now as high as 91 points, his ability to catch and shoot without the ball is even more impressive.
Garnett, who jumped up high, was also shocked.
I've been studying Chen Hao's singles ability recently, and I almost forgot about this guy's ability to move without the ball and catch the ball and shoot, which is even better!
B!
With this goal scored,
Chen Hao observed that the Celtics' defense was a little messed up due to his off-ball movement, and he was excited after many opportunities appeared.
As long as it's of some use,
There is still a little hope for tonight's game, but it is not final yet!
"The defense is very active!"
"The game is not lost yet!"
Chen Hao yelled at everyone.
This made Durant and others instantly stunned.
Although I was a little stunned by the Celtics' defeat, I almost lost all my energy.
However, Chen Hao's crazy running figure and sudden roar made everyone wake up.
Chen Hao did not admit defeat, and the backbone of the team remained.
And hearing this,
Rivers, who was sitting on the sidelines, was stunned again.
Has the score difference gotten smaller?
My sister has it.
There is still one and a half quarters left, and the score difference is still 23 points.
You told me that there is still a chance to reverse the situation. Isn't this a joke?
In Rivers' stunned eyes,
The Thunder's defense finally picked up in intensity this round.
After the Celtics made several consecutive rounds of tactical moves without any easy opportunities, Garnett was forced to go to the line and act as a pick-and-roll for Rondo.
It was the same 333 formula again. After Rondo used the pick-and-roll to attack, he saw the long-haired "sissy" who was defending Perkins actively covering up the defense and passed the ball back to Garnett.
Garnett really wanted to eat Chen Hao by force,
But as someone who had studied the Thunder before the game, his rationality told him that Chen Hao's defensive ability was good.
Moreover, Pierce's painful experience of being defeated by Chen Hao at the beginning of the game made him choose carefully.
So, after he and Pierce exchanged hands, he made a screen.
Well....that's very Garnett.
The space dance of fighting and retreating is also a kind of wisdom.
An iron-blooded jumper, he is also a tough guy.
But Garnett didn't expect that Chen Hao had anticipated his plan.
At the moment when Garnett and Pierce passed hands,
The other big hand intervened in the 'emotions' of two people so suddenly.
Almost instantly, three big men huddled around a basketball.
During the wrestling between the three people, the basketball was poked out.
Chen Hao, who was surrounded by two people, took the lead and controlled the basketball.
However, in order to control the ball, he had to slow down.
As soon as the speed slows down, the opportunity for fast break is gone in an instant.
But Chen Hao was not in a hurry. After passing through the frontcourt, he faced Garnett who looked like a big spider.
With just a touch of his front foot, Garnett's center of gravity quickly shifted back.
The moment he took a small step back, Chen Hao raised his hand and threw.
It's very similar to James' "Bald Arrow", but it has a completely different effect.
"brush!"
There was a big gap, and the basketball hit the net.
Chen Hao smiled.
Sure enough, when the defender is afraid of his own breakthrough, shooting is more effective.
But even so,
The difficult journey of chasing points has just begun.
