Chapter 465: A Race of Life and Death (Part II)
Shi Lei received the ball and forced a breakthrough and turn, and Lewis did not cause him any trouble. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info This is an underrated swingman, but that's just about his offensive ability, and defensively, Lewis's contribution to any team is lacking.
Howard greeted him in time, he had such an ability, almost as soon as Shi Lei finished cutting through Lewis's side, he stuck to Shi Lei.
"Beautiful, Dwight has a very good defensive timing this time!"
Barkley was pleasantly surprised, but in just a second, he immediately gave him a bigger "surprise" on the court!
At this critical moment, Shi Lei's breakthrough footsteps suddenly stopped, and then with his left foot as the axis, he suddenly completed the turn.
In Shi Lei's body rotation, Howard's center of gravity inevitably wavered, and then he sensed a fierce force coming.
Shi Lei sat with his back to him.
Strength was the only physical stat bonus that matched Randolph's life, but he didn't know if it would work against Howard, he just wanted to give it a try. But to his surprise, he actually sensed the loosening of the power behind him.
Howard took a small step back in horror, but it made it impossible for him to hold his feet any longer.
"Oh my God! What happened? Dwight didn't even resist the stone! ”
Barkley's commentary is always so passionate, just like when he was on the court, but he was really shocked this time, because he was about to complete a beautiful defense because Howard!
Shi Lei continued to fight on his back, and the power was like a torrent, turning the tall Howard into a low embankment.
Howard took a step back again, he could stop retreating, but Shi Lei completed the transformation of his movements in this very short time.
The thunderous turn, in terms of rhythm and timing, can be called exquisite.
Howard, who is known for his instantaneous reaction ability, couldn't find time to respond, and was directly pressed under the basket by Shi Lei with half of his body, staggered back, and watched Shi Lei put the basketball into the basket with one hand.
"The low-post back-to-back single after receiving the ball and breaking through to the paint area is very good and very resolute, and Shi's desire to attack under the basket in this game looks very strong!"
Tolbert, who had been invisible, finally seized the opportunity and grabbed Larry. Bird and Bill. Wharton shoved the microphone to his mouth.
However, everyone looks at the problem from a different angle, Tolbert sees Shi Lei's attack, Bill. Wharton, however, saw something deeper: "Stone is smart, he always knows what the team needs him to do the most, and I think Mr. Van Gundy should start to worry a little after his two offensive games against the Magic basket!" ”
Van Gundy was indeed a little worried, he couldn't understand why Howard's defense was so "vulnerable" today!
Rivers' eyes had a little hope: "When did Shi have such an excellent ability to carry his body?" Is this a flash in the pan, or is it ......"
The rapid changes on the court made many things not intuitive, and the changes in Shi Lei's body still did not let the onlookers see how many Duan Miaolai, only Howard, as if setting off a stormy wave in his heart, looked at Shi Lei who rushed back to his half of the court in disbelief.
Shi Lei calmly high-fived every teammate and stood in the defensive position he was used to. At this time, his heart was already steady, and he no longer had those worries before the game, these two attacks let him know that he still underestimated Randolph, underestimated this fat man who was so lazy and had frequent problems, and there were always teams willing to provide him with a salary of more than 10 million yuan.
The Magic's offense is still playing Howard, and the Celtics' defense leaves too little offensive space for the Magic's outside line.
But the doubts in his heart made Howard throw a layup that was close at hand, and Shi Lei stepped up and protected the basketball between his chest and abdomen.
"Oh, the scoring ability of tragedy!"
Barkley covered his eyes in pain, and in his opinion, Howard's offense was so miserable that he couldn't bear to look at it.
"Howard has a bad hand, which is good news for the Celtics. Let's see this offense from the Celtics, is Shi Lei continuing to challenge the Magic's inside, or is it handed over to them a luxurious outside? ”
What is the greatest happiness for Coach Zhang to narrate NBA games? There is no doubt that the Rocket's players passed all the balls to Yao Ming's hands, and this point can also be applied to Shi Lei. It seemed to hear the voice in his heart, the basketball in the thunder. Aaron's hands transitioned, and they were handed over to Shi Lei's hands.
Shi Lei's continuous inside attack was successful, so that the Magic's defense unconsciously contracted a little, and Rondo couldn't find a safe way to pass the ball into the inside, so he handed the ball to Ray. Aaron to deal with it.
I have to admit that Rondo is indeed a very generous point guard!
At this time, Shi Lei followed Lei. Aaron completed a tacit cooperation. Shi Lei pulled it out and gave it to Lei. Allen made a pick-and-roll, Ray. After Allen formed a breakthrough, he then passed the ball to Shi Lei, who was pulling to the weak side of the defense at this time.
The speed at which the center of gravity of the Magic defense shifted did not keep up with the speed at which Shi Lei broke through, and penetrated through the gap between Lewis and Petegrew before they could form a circle, and Shi Lei directly posed a threat to the Magic's basket.
Howard, who wanted to prove that it was just his own illusion, was already standing on Shi Lei's advancing route. Howard's defense was well prepared, he lowered his body and mobilized the vitality of every cell in his body.
Shi Lei quickly completed the cross hand, a pause, a movement and a stillness, a rapid rhythm change, the shaking Howard was in a trance, Shi Lei then turned around and hit his back, Howard reacted a little late, the floating body center of gravity, pushed by Shi Lei, it was inevitable that it would be more difficult to control, but he was so well prepared, at this time, he still forcibly stood firm.
However, at this time, Shi Lei had already completed the turn, bypassing him and walking around to the other side of the hoop.
Gliding low for a short distance, Shi Lei bent his left hand and threw the basketball into the basket.
In this defense, Howard was like a tall stake, which finally caught Van Gundy's attention: "What the hell is going on?" Is Dwight in bad shape? Or is it the opponent's offense that makes it difficult for him to deal with? ”
These questions lured Van Gundy into almost calling a timeout, but he finally held back. In such a life-or-death game, every timeout is precious, but he didn't do nothing, he just released what he wanted to say with a shouting defense: "Defend!" Watch your defenses! Rashad, delay his breakthrough as much as possible! ”
And Rivers, who was doing the same thing as Van Gundy, also stood on the edge of the court, shouting with a little excitement and questions on his face: "Stone, be more resolute!" Resolute! Resolute! You can do it! ”
"What happened Kenny? Dwight seems to have suddenly become unable to play! ”
"Don't ask me, Charles, I don't know, but Shi's attack just now is really very good, the movements are very smooth and realistic, this looks a little similar to you, Charles, don't you think so?"
"Like me? Are you kidding, man? If it were me, I'd push Dwight into the audience! ”
The commentary bench began to become commotion, and everyone did not expect that the Celtics, who had lost the most important player on the inside, in this game, the first three offenses all started from the inside, but all of them were played.
With the completion of Shi Lei's offense, Director Zhang has become a little crazy: "Good ball, Shi Lei's resolute interior offense, the best defensive player in the NBA this season, it seems that there is no way to attack him, and now the Celtics have a 6:2 lead, only if this continues, the Celtics will definitely be able to fight with the Magic in the final 'tie-breaker!'" ”
Howard's offense missed again, and the confusion about Shi Lei's offense made him unconsciously distract himself, and the basketball was like a discus, bouncing off the hoop and hitting Rondo directly.
Celtic's fast break...... Magic can't do anything.
Rondo's quick run of the ball added two points to the Celtics.
It would be difficult for a player to adjust in a short period of time if he was not in the right form, and Howard's one-of-four shot let Van Gundy know that his tactics for winning the last game were bankrupt, so he immediately called a timeout and adjusted the team's offensive tactics.
Don't look at the Magic's offensive approach, but Van Gundy has a very good set of offensive tuning, and in his first season in charge of the Heat, he improved the Heat, which only had Odom and rookie Wade, to the fourth average points per game in the NBA at that time.
After the Magic's offense shifted to the perimeter, under the Celtics' tight man-to-man defense, Turkoglu still formed a misalignment. Allen hit a ball over his head.
Seeing that the team finally succeeded in stopping the bleeding, Da Van Gundy's heart finally relaxed a little. But Shi Lei immediately gave him another blow.
At the timeout, Rivers emphasized Shi Lei's offensive rights, for the Celtics, Howard's basket is undoubtedly their lifeline, and they see the hope of reopening, Rivers does not intend to give up trying anyway, at least until Shi Lei proves that he is powerless.
So under the cover of the outside line, in the defensive gap broken by the Magic, Shi Lei got the basketball passed in from the outside.
Howard now doesn't dare to be careless about Shi Lei's under-the-basket offense, but Shi Lei is full of confidence, and in the face of Howard's tense defense, he jumped straight up.
Howard, who was still waiting for Shi Lei's follow-up movements, watched the basketball pass over his head blankly, and when he looked back, all he saw was the undulating net and the cheers of the fans in his ears.
Attack, the most important thing is never the gorgeous and changeable action, but the timing, and now Shi Lei has finally found that feeling and the ability to seize the opportunity in an instant.
"Kenny, I'd love to know what the great Mr. Howard is thinking right now?"
Maybe it's a nightclub girl, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the game anyway, and he let Shi easily complete the shot. I'm starting to wonder if Shi can score 100 points in this game, considering it's only three minutes into the game and he's already scored eight points. It's amazing that his opponent is still the best defensive player of the season! ”
"Dwight, what are you doing?"
Big Van Gundy couldn't bear to stand on the sidelines again and roared loudly.
"I ......"
Howard subconsciously wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Shi Lei's blow was close to reaching his ears.
"That's how you got the best defensive player with this kind of defense?"
The aunt can bear it, and the uncle can't bear it either, all the pressure finally made Howard lose control of his emotions, and he pushed Shi Lei angrily.
Shi Lei, who suffered a sharp "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending" and was lying on the floor in pain, made people feel that he was at the "dying moment" of his life.
Well, this is indeed a performance, the referee first walked up to Shi Lei, pointed to his eyes funny, signaled that his eyes were fine, and then turned to Howard, who had been honest, and showed a technical foul.
The cruel thing is that just after Big Van Gundy shouted a timeout, Shi Lei still didn't let Howard go: "Hey, boy, your psychology is too fragile!" ”
This horse rider is indeed very hateful, and Howard finally understood the reason why James hated Shi Lei so much at this moment: "Shut up! ”
Howard gritted his teeth and roared, in exchange for Shi Lei's relaxed shrug, and also in exchange for the fate that he was finally replaced by Big Van Gundy and went to the bench to calm down his emotions!
"Looks like the stone has won on another battlefield!"
Larry. Bird admires Shi Lei even more now, and he is most praised for his leadership ability and trash talk.
Barkley also officially announced his disappointment with Howard at this time, and these old guys have always regarded trash talk as an important part of the game: "In fact, Stan. . Van Gundy made the right choice, and if I had sat in that position, I would have made sure to let the older boy, Mr. Howard, roll back into the locker room! Oh my God, when did the NBA become a kindergarten (don't spray, I don't know what to call a kindergarten in the United States)! ”
But the fans at TD North Shore Gardens were jubilant, even more so than scoring a couple of difficult goals, and everyone knew how much trouble the guy who sat on the bench had caused them!
Rivers finally smiled, he had seen the door open for them.
However, this is not so high-profile in China with exciting moments, please pay attention to harmony! Harmonious! So Director Zhang just said euphemistically: "There was a conflict between the players of the two teams, and Howard was a little irrational and was replaced on the bench by Big Van Gundy!" ”
