Chapter 448: Sweeping
The rhythm of the court was eventually brought up, but it did not become the magic weapon for the team to win as Shi Lei envisioned, and of course, it did not have the same doubts as Rivers, but gave the Bulls a chance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Perhaps it is impossible to escape the label of "strong defensive team" in any case, and the key to the Celtics' victory in this game is defense.
Different tactics can be very different when used on different teams. The full-court pressing, which was originally only intended to bring rhythm, unexpectedly caused the Bulls to collapse.
The cracking method of the full-court pressing is to break through, so Rose broke through, but his defender is Shi Lei, who is the least top three in the NBA.
Then in the second attack, this responsibility was given to Ben. Gordon, but his defender, is Rondo, who was in the top 10 of the NBA's defensive list last year......
Then the other two outside Celtics Ray. Aaron and Pierce began to shout in defeat, "Who else? ”
Yes, no one, John. Salmons? Please don't have too many illusions about the jack-of-all-trades players who didn't make a name for themselves. Allen's defense isn't papery either, although Pierce is often lazy......
So is it Thomas or Noah? If so, I believe the head coach of the Bulls will definitely cry.
So the Bulls collapsed, and the full-court pressing made their lineup disjointed, unable to cooperate well with each other, and it was difficult to get cheap on the defender in singles. Gordon had a bad hand, but in the fifth minute of the third quarter, the Bulls still trailed the Celtics by 15 points.....
This game did not make waves again, but this game was by no means a simple victory for Celtic, and it also found a way for Celtic to win the game in the future.
"Garnett can't be replaced? The defending champions have proved with victory that they have found the way! ”
"In the era of NBA single defense, the outside blocking from the Celtics may become a nightmare for all strong center teams!"
"From the cooperation of the whole team to the chaotic battle, is it helpless or a clever move?"
After a succession of first playoff victories and failures, the young Bulls' fiery desire to fight seems to have been extinguished a lot, returning to their home court, and urgently activating Koke, who is lying on the injury list. Hinrich, the young cowboys still couldn't beat the visiting Celtics.
This was a big defeat for the Bulls that made them completely desperate!
Pierce, who was in average form in the last game, suddenly found his form today, and attacked aggressively as soon as he started, making 7 shots in the first quarter, hitting 6 times, and contributing 13 points in a single quarter. Halfway through the quarter, Pierce hit three consecutive shots to give the Celtics a 23-12 advantage. Thunder. Allen scored a three-pointer before the end of the quarter and the Celtics ended the quarter with a 32-21 lead.
With a double-digit lead in the first quarter, the Celtics were on a rampage. After Pierce, who was in good shape, made the Bulls have to put more defensive energy into him, he began to put more offensive thoughts on covering his teammates, and the Celtics players blossomed more, and with 1 minute and 39 seconds left in the second quarter, Shi Lei, who continued to serve as the team's power forward, caused Rose to make an offensive mistake, and the steal broke through to cause Noah's defensive foul, which was 2+1, Ray. Allen also scored two three-pointers after that, and the two scored nine straight points to end the first half with the Celtics leading 59-37.
In the third quarter, the Celtics were unforgiving, and the Celtics' outside firepower was still fierce, and with 4 minutes and 30 seconds left in the quarter, Ray Lee. Allen and Pierce hit back-to-back three-pointers, and the Celtics went on an 8-0 run to take a 28-point advantage at 78-50.
After that, the Celtics replaced the main force, but the Bulls, whose mentality was completely unbalanced, only struggled to chase the score to 58:83 before the end of the third quarter.
The fourth-quarter game between the two sides inevitably became a "slaughter", and the miserable situation caused the home fans to leave the stadium one after another. The head coach of the Bulls, who knew that he was powerless, switched to the bench after two minutes of symbolic resistance in the fourth quarter, and the main players of the Celtics who achieved their goals were also replaced, and the score on the court was 91:60, and the Bulls trailed by 31 points.
"Sweep!"
After the game, the Boston media, which is now desperate for the team to show what it can do to defend the championship after losing Garnett, can't wait to make such a headline.
The haze of falling behind 3:0 and the "massacre" suffered at home made the Chicago media, which has been advocating that "another glorious period of the Bulls is coming", also lowered its arrogant posture that was still stuck in the Jordan period: "The price of growth, in fact, we are already victors!" ”
At this time, the Bulls' players are frustrated, but their opponent, the Celtics, are still very careful, and many of the players on their team are very old and have passed the age of getting carried away.
As long as you don't kill yourself, the result of the fourth game between the two sides has actually been decided before the game, because the Bulls are still pressing the whole court against the Celtics, who have no dead ends, and there is no good way to crack it.
Derek. Rose almost had a triple-double in this game, scoring 23 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists for the Bulls, but Shi Lei got a triple-double in this game, contributing 25 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. In addition to Ray. Allen is still young, scoring 15 points in the fourth quarter, contributing 25 points in the game. Pierce had 24 points and seven rebounds, and Rondo also managed to steal the show, finishing with 22 points and eight rebounds.
And then...... And then what do you think, the four of them have already scored nearly two points...... So Perkins, who was running all over the room, was already crying and fainting in the toilet: "You know what? I only got five rebounds and got five fouls on my horse! ”
Of course, the birth of this tactic is also related to the strange defensive rules of ancient times, but as long as it can win, it is always a good way, anyway, now the Celtics have become the first team to break into the second round of the playoffs.
However, the Cavaliers are also expected to be another team to sweep the promotion, and they now have a 3-0 lead over the Pistons, as their fourth game is a day later than the Celtics due to timing.
