Chapter 299: Tough Encounter

After Rivers roared like this, Pierce and the others recovered one after another, they were just confused by Li Du's goal that can be called anti-human and anti-physical rules, as long as someone reminded them a little, they immediately sobered up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Garnett sighed and said, "That kid is a monster, you can't use the usual way, let's wrap it up for three!" ā€

In the entire history of the NBA, there are only a handful of players who can force opponents to use three-person packs, and each of them is a superstar of an era. It can be said that when an opponent uses a three-man bag on a player on the field, it means that the opponent acknowledges his superstar status, which is a supreme honor.

However, when the opponent can take a three-man package against you, it also means that your teammates are poor, and it doesn't matter if you completely defend them, such as Kobe Bryant in the 05-06 season and LeBron James this season.

Rivers was initially impressed by this suggestion, but after careful consideration, he eventually gave up. Because Li Du's teammates are very strong, there are very few people who can give up selectively. First of all, Curry and Yao Ming can't be empty, and next, although Crawford and Ragabel have inconsistent shooting percentages, they are not the kind of guys who can't shoot in the Cavaliers.

Looking up at the timer, Rivers finally gave the order: "It's better to double the bag Li Du, as for the others, except for Stephen Curry, the others can be selectively shorted depending on the situation." The time for the first substitution is almost up, and we will think about other countermeasures. ā€

Now there are only 5 and a half minutes left before the end of the first quarter, and according to the regular rotation, Li Du and his main players will be replaced within two rounds, and they will be replaced by the rotation lineup.

So after this timeout, Rivers simply changed the rotation lineup first, allowing the Big Three to rest.

On the Warriors' side, Li Du sat on a chair, looked at the calm Curry, and asked, "Stephen, how is your physical strength?" ā€

Curry smiled: "Boss, no problem, I didn't play much at all, so my physical strength has always been sufficient." ā€

Li Du nodded, and then said to old Nelson: "Coach, or Stephen and I won't rest in the first quarter, and then use the break and the first half of the second quarter to rest, and we will pull the score away in the first quarter!" ā€

Old Nelson asked, "Lee, Stephen, are you sure you don't have any physical fitness?" ā€

Li Du and Curry nodded one after another: "Of course!" Coach, don't worry, our physical strength will be fine for the whole first quarter! ā€

So when the Celtics had to replace the main team, the Warriors still put Li Du and Curry on the court, and the others were rested. ā€

After only two rounds, Rivers was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother!

It turned out that after the Celtics first changed to the rotation lineup, the Warriors did not completely change the bench lineup, but were still led by Li Du and Curry.

Originally, in the bench lineup, the Celtics still had some slight advantages, and if they were lucky, they could narrow the point difference, but Li Du and Curry did not have the slightest sense of getting off the court, but took the bench lineup to play more and more happily on the court, and the point difference became wider and wider.

Seeing that the point difference was close to 10 points, Rivers didn't dare to replace Pierce, Garnett and others on the court now. Li Du and Curry are young, full of physical strength and full of energy, and they have no problem playing the first quarter. But on the Celtic side, Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen are all veterans, and their physical strength must be reasonably distributed, otherwise they will not be able to play the role of the Big Three on the court.

So the Celtics had to insist on a double bag for Li Du, leaving out everyone except Curry. However, the strength of the bench lineup has always been a certain gap with the starting lineup, they can't perfectly wrap up Li Du, and Curry's defense is not so good, so at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors ended the first quarter with a 34-25 lead of 9 points.

In the first 4 minutes of the second quarter, the two teams fought with substitute lineups.

It was a tie, so Rivers sent the main lineup in advance, and finally chased the difference to only 6 points with the last four and a half minutes left in the first half.

At this time, it is also time for Li Du and other main players of the Warriors to appear.

Li Du got the ball, glanced at Ray Allen in front of him, sneered, and said: "Seniors, you guys are too careless, don't forget, this kind of defense can't stop me from scoring!" ā€

Ray Allen smiled bitterly in his heart, if there was a way to deal with Li Du, the fool would continue to use the trap tactic that did not work well just now. Even Ray Allen thinks that Garnett's proposal for a three-man bag is not feasible!

After advancing to the front court, Li Du did not take the initiative to lead the dead corner of the court, but arranged for his teammates to disperse, and he wanted to hold the ball and play Ray Allen!

But this does not mean that he does not have much offensive ability, on the contrary, once Ray Allen insists on turning over the main attack in the game, it will be the most terrible team in the world! Now he is still defending this Li Du, and on the defensive end, it will never be a combination of Xiao Si and Nash that can think of a way.

Within 5 minutes of continuous outbreaks, the gap between the Warriors and the Celtics has narrowed to only 4 points, and Li Du and a group of Warriors players also used their behavior to ensure that there would be no accidents!

When the Celtics were about to catch up, Li Du and Curry each hit three points, and two three-pointers have extended the Warriors' lead to about 10 points. Li Du sat at the door of the community, trying to attract others individually.

At the end of the first half, Li Du led the Warriors to a 69-75 lead to end the first half.

At the start of the second half, Li Du was surprised to find that the Celtics still stuck to their original style of play, and as soon as they came up, they began to run, and Curry took advantage of the off-ball cover between Li Du and got a lot of help from teammates and colleagues.

In desperation, Rivers had no choice but to call another timeout. Hopefully, this timeout will find or interrupt the feel of Li Du and Curry.

But just as Li Du's shooting is based on years of practicing national arts, so as to increase the control of detailed muscles, in addition to the ability, other people's learning progress is relatively fast, may not be as efficient as Li Du, but it is enough!

The two teams are battling it out like this, and as long as either of them can break the deadlock, the balance of victory will be tilted in favour of either side.

In the end, Rivers fielded a regular lineup in the second half of the fourth quarter. He really didn't know how to deal with Li Du, so he could only choose to collide hard against hard in strength.
