Chapter 447: How can you not fly after pretending to be forced
Shi Lei's contribution to the Celtics in these two seasons finally earned himself some tactical freedom at this time, and Rivers, after some struggle, finally made the decision to let the team implement this strategy for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
So at halftime, Rivers explained to the players in the locker room Shi Lei's "star singles tactics" after he perfected.
This set of tactics is simple and easy to understand, and most NBA players are also good at singles, so it only took a little more than ten minutes for Rivers to finish his tactical explanation course. The little time left passed quickly as the Celtics players scrambled to regain their strength.
"The first half of the game was the same as the first game, very anxious, and very exciting, now that the halftime break is over, the players on both sides are back on the court, I don't know if this time Celtic can open the score gap in the third quarter after the adjustment of the halftime!"
As for whether the Bulls will fight back in the second half? Director Zhang showed that he had never had this kind of "thought of people and gods being angry!"
This series of games is not easy for the players on both sides, the lack of the inside line, so that the main force of the Celtics does not have enough rest time, the strength of the backward, but also let the young Bulls, with great effort, want to win a game, so in the third quarter, the two sides are still the strongest lineup. After absolutely continuing to use the "star singles tactics", Pierce, who took a short break for a while, also replaced Toney. Aaron returned to the game.
At halftime, the Bulls' overheated minds cooled down a bit, and in the first offense, their tactical speed returned to normal, which was not what Shi Lei wanted, and he didn't want to "linger" for too long in the game with an opponent like the Bulls.
So after the Bulls played their first offense, as soon as the ball was handed over to Shi Lei's strength, Shi Lei rushed forward quickly with the ball.
This came as a surprise to many people, and the fans, as well as the commentators on the spot, including the head coach of the Bulls, had always thought that the reason why the two sides were so fast in the second quarter of the game was because the players were too excited.
But when Shi Lei cut into the first line of defense on the outside of the Bulls, passed Pierce, and followed Pierce down the basket closely, many people began to notice the change in the Celtics' tactics.
"The Celtics are still in high spirits, their attacks are fast, are they going to give up the tactics they've been playing?"
This is a question from the Celtic on-site commentator, who asked the hearts of many people.
Yes, in the next second, Pierce hit Ben with his back to the punch. Gordon then gave the answer to that question with a firm back-to-back jumper.
Shi Lei's previous tearing of the Bulls' outside defense had shifted their defense, so Pierce got a good one-on-one opportunity, and the basketball did not insult his "superstar" name, and fell into the basket obediently.
Until this offense was completed, Perkins was still on his way to the point, which made the court commentator who got the answer unbelievable: "Oh my God, this offense, we don't have anyone under the basket at all, are we going to give up the interior completely?" ā
In fact, Perkins is too slow, and Shi Lei doesn't want the team's offense to be completely empty under the basket, but in order to bring the rhythm as soon as possible, he can only believe more in the protective effect of his impact on rebounds.
Not only that, in defense, the Celtics began to press the Bulls all over the court at any cost.
This kind of defense, to be honest, plays a small role in the NBA, because the teams here, in each team, will have a few players who break through very sharply, but the purpose of the Celtics is not here, they just want to speed up the pace of offense and defense on the court.
The unexpected defensive adjustment almost made the Bulls make a mistake, but fortunately, Rose's ball sense was quite good, and he forcibly half-turned to protect the basketball, but under such defense, he didn't dare to stay, and after adjusting the center of gravity of his body, he quickly advanced along the sideline.
The defender Ross is facing now is Shi Lei, who is not inferior in all aspects, and the defensive pressure brought to Ross can be imagined on the way to follow Rose's breakthrough. Shi Lei's frequent small movements, and the constant physical pressure, made Rose not even have a chance to stop and find where his teammates were, even if it was only for a moment.
Seeing that he was about to cross the three-point line, and had already left his teammates behind, Rose could only choose to force himself.
After the emergency stop, Rose forced a change of direction. Shi Lei couldn't stop the car, and suddenly staggered with Rose's body.
If Rose's shooting ability had been more consistent, or like Iverson, he believed he could hit the next shot, no matter how iron, the Bulls' offense might have been completed, done, not done. But he's Rose, not anyone, and in his rookie season, his stop-and-go quick-fire skills still need to be improved a lot, especially since he has a poor hand style in this game, so Rose continued to cut to the basket after shaking off Shi Lei for a moment.
Rose's speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he ran across the free throw line, and he was afraid of being re-glued by Shi Lei, so he jumped into the air after taking a sharp step and made a layup.
But at this time, Shi Lei had already come behind him. Shi Lei's body control ability is very good, and in terms of pure speed, he is no worse than Rose.
"Smack!"
As soon as Rose lifted the basketball and wanted to look back at Shi Lei's current position so as to decide his shooting choice, Shi Lei's hand was imprinted on the basketball from the back of his body.
The basketball was slapped on the rebound by Shi Lei, running behind in the offense, and when he returned to defense, Perkins became a sharp soldier-like existence, and he just came over to pick up the rebound.
After the Bulls' offense turned into defense, Shi Lei quickly took Perkins' pass and strode behind the Bulls players towards their basket.
Ross also followed Shi Lei's example, clinging to Shi Lei and harassing Shi Lei's ball control, but it turns out that many things seem simple, but they are quite difficult to do. Shi Lei was advancing, and he didn't even need to change direction, and he pushed Rose two steps like a bulldozer, and Rose was messy and couldn't control his body's center of gravity.
But it's just that Ross was resisted by Shi Lei and couldn't stop his heels, in fact, at this time, the basketball had already been passed to Rondo by Shi Lei.
In such a quick counterattack, Rondo absolutely has an all-star level, directly shaking Thomas, and Rondo lays to complete the attack.
scored four points in a row, and the Celtics extended their lead advantage to ten points, and such a hot start also made the rhythm of the Bulls finally take away!
