Chapter 203: The Knight (6)
Most top scorers, the last thing they want to meet is Bowen, but as long as they play against the Spurs, Bowen is the enemy they must face, and for James, Shi Lei is the same. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shi Lei is the most successful defender of James now, and he is also the person James can't avoid in this game.
At this time, the point guard on the Cavaliers court is Gibson, the offensive guard is Wesley, the small forward James, the power forward Vallejo, and the center Ben. Wallace.
As soon as the Cavaliers' offense began, the Celtics' defense immediately tightened, and Shi Lei wandered outside the line, exerting pressure on James from the frontcourt.
After Gibson dribbled past half court, the situation also became difficult, and he was blocked by Rondo at the three-point line. Instead of going to James, he passed the ball to Wesley.
The knight's attack was a little abnormal, which Shi Lei noticed for the first time. His defense is indeed very tight, and James is very tight, but it is impossible to say that there is no room for the opponent to connect the ball, and no matter how tight the defense is, it cannot be turned into rope shackles.
"And what is the purpose of the knight?"
Shi Lei was running closely with James, and he repeatedly guessed in his heart.
James suddenly changed direction at this time, and suddenly opened up half a position with Shi Lei. Shi Lei chased after him quickly, and at the same time, Pierce's supplementary defense also rushed over.
Wesley suddenly made a shot.
The basketball shot without being assigned by James, which was not "Cavaliers", which led to the Celtics' defense not being very good, but fortunately, this shot was missed, and Garnett protected the rebound.
Just after the game, Rondo's tactics against Rivers were very well executed, and the ball was handed over to Shi Lei at half time.
He was in trouble with the offense, Shi Lei received the pass, so he didn't think about attacking again, but stood in place and began to observe the route of the pass seriously.
"It's ....."
Shi Lei was a little incredulous, because as soon as he raised his head, he quickly found the route and angle of the pass. There are also some completely different things that can only be understood, such as the direction of Garnett's next actions and the location of his position!
Although there was some doubt in his heart, this did not prevent Shi Lei from making a choice, he quickly made a ground-hitting pass, and passed the basketball to Garnett from the most suitable angle he could "see".
This pass was very clean and neat, and the timing was just right, Garnett just stuck in the main position, and Shi Lei's pass arrived.
Garnett's hand was still "firm", and he turned and shot.
"Is it because of the relationship that matches Odom?"
In the gap between offense and defense, Shi Lei secretly guessed in his heart, which was the most reasonable explanation. You must know that although Shi Lei's overall view is very good, and he has a good performance in passing, he is still a little lacking in some details and timing, which is why he always uses breakthroughs to press the opponent's defense first and then choose to pass. But this time it was different, Shi Lei simply passed the ball, but the result was exactly the same.
It was impossible to leave much time for Shi Lei to solve his doubts on the court, and with a rotation of thoughts, the knight's attack began again.
"Do you think you can stop me?"
Shi Lei rushed to James's side, and James opened and closed his thick lips, sprayed spittle, and whispered in Shi Lei's ear.
"You can give it a try."
James decisively turned back to catch the ball, Shi Lei's spirit instantly tensed, and his whole body suddenly accumulated enough strength.
At the same time, Pierce's footsteps also quietly shifted here, but the basketball only stayed in James's hands for one second, and the next second, the basketball was passed back on.
Gibson switched positions with Wesley, shook off Rondo and received a pass from James, and then shot quickly...... The shooting rate of the heavens is angry, and Gibson's shooting also ended in "iron".
Shi Lei's brows furrowed at this time: "Could it be that he is only doing cover?" ”
Of course, this is just Shi Lei's speculation, and even so, he can't let go of his defense against James.
Two consecutive offensive failures widened the margin to seven points! Rondo dribbled quickly into the Cavaliers' half, which was a very crucial offense. If the Celtics succeed again this time, the game will be reversed, and the Celtics will completely reverse the format of the game that began in the second quarter. Conversely, if the Cavaliers defend the ball, the rhythm of the game will continue to be stalemate. That's what the Cavaliers want, and on the Celtics' home court, they didn't expect a devastating victory.
After the Celtics entered the Cavaliers' half, Garnett suddenly ran sharply along both sides of the baseline, and as soon as the amplitude and speed of this run came out, Vallejo couldn't keep up at first. He was left behind by Garnett's sheer use of movement.
At this time, Shi Lei easily received Rondo's pass, and then dribbled and took a ferocious step.
Garnett was inside, Shi Lei was outside, and the simultaneous actions suddenly focused the Cavaliers' defensive focus on the two of them.
At this time, the players of the Cavaliers were very alert, they paid close attention to Shi Lei and Garnett, and paid attention to the basketball in Shi Lei's hands. But as soon as Shi Lei's hand holding the ball was loosened, he handed over the basketball.
A figure quickly came out from behind Shi Lei, caught the basketball, and rushed into the knight's basket with one step.
It was Rondo, the surprise of Shi Lei's pass and Rondo's speed perfectly matched, so that the Cavaliers' disrupted defense had no time to react, and watched Rondo break through and win the blue in the sky.
At this time, the third quarter of the game went to 1 minute and 48 seconds, and the Celtics had completely reversed the unfavorable situation of the second quarter of the game, and the score of the two sides had become 46:37, and the Celtics led the Cavaliers by nine points.
Nine points is not a big difference, but the situation on the court is very bad for the Cavaliers, forcing Mike to do so. Brown made a substitution, with Szzerbiak and Big Z coming on for Vallejo and Wesley.
Big Z is the most useful helper around James, and James has always been "favored" by him, as soon as he came on the court, James immediately sent him a pass.
Big Z's first-class height and excellent pace under the basket have made his offensive success rate on the interior consistent. This time, he shook off Garnett and made a good shot, finally breaking the Cavaliers' scoring drought in the third quarter. (To be continued.) )
