Chapter 223: Elevated Battery

The Clippers' three-point tactics have had a certain effect, but the Clippers are not like the Warriors in the 14~15 season. The Clippers' three-pointer can't do what the Warriors do.

The Clippers don't have a perfect roster right now, and the biggest problem is defense. The offense goes up and the defense comes down. In the second quarter, the Celtics stepped up their perimeter defense.

This half-finished small-ball lineup is problematic. The Clippers' small-ball lineup looked like a formidable one, and it was evenly matched with the powerful Celtics in the first quarter. But the problem is that the Clippers aren't like the Warriors in 2015, and although they have three-pointers, they are not the main means of scoring. The players on the court, except for JJ Redick, who is a pure pitcher, everyone else belongs to the type of jack-of-all-trades. Therefore, the three-point shooting percentage has dropped seriously under the strict defense of the Celtics. even missed a pair of 5 consecutive three-pointers, and was beaten by the Celtics with a 12:0 climax.

Stevens immediately adjusted the lineup to stop the decline, but the score gap was widened. At halftime, the Clippers trailed by eight points, 48:40.

Don't think about the team scoring high points against the Celtics, the Celtics' overall defense is very terrifying. This season is still the strongest contender for the championship, and if it weren't for Garnett's injury, the Celtics could have completed two consecutive championships.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the bench played for a while, and the effect was much better than the starting matchup. Millsap "ravages" this pudgy big baby Davis to his heart's content. The score was pulled back to the point.

The Celtics have a lot of strength on the bench, so usually Pierce or Garnett will keep one person to lead the bench. This is also a situation where Celtic did not have a serious score reduction even if the substitute lineup. In a word, it's hard for you to overtake the Celtics by a big score. However, the first two verses are too fierce, and these two buddies are very tired. Garnett, in particular, has to fight Joe on the inside when he's older. Joe's physical strength is still young, Garnett is 32 years old, at the end of his prime, his physical fitness is even worse, and he needs to rest. Pierce was also defended by Wright and Barnes, especially Barnes, who made a lot of small moves, and even made a monkey stealing peaches in a vague way, and the angle was very good, but the referee didn't find it.

Chalmers did well and hit a three-pointer. Helped the team equalize the score in the fifth minute of the third quarter. 56:56

Bill Wharton said, "The Clippers are really weird, it's just mid-table when you talk about strength, it's easy to beat weak teams, and it's quick to give the ball to teams like the Spurs and Jazz." But in the face of the Celtics and Lakers, one is the first in the East and the first in the league, and the other is the first in the West. It's a great way to play against these two top teams in the league. ”

Barkley laughed, "That's the power of youth, this young Clippers and this group of kids have the potential to be wireless." ”……

Rivers immediately put the main team on the court. The Clippers also changed formations, and the water cooler administrator Milicic actually came on the court!

And you would never have imagined that Milicic would play at the small forward position!

Milicic may not be as strong as he was when he first came to the NBA, but Milicic has the height and range. One shot inside the three-point line is accurate. When Joe practiced, he found that Milicic still had a good job, although the footwork, inside attack, and physical confrontation were all poor, and he was the substitute in the bench. But it's because I gave up most of my play, and I practiced shooting more. In other words, Milicic's is now a basic version of Nowitzki. What is called the basic version, that is, only shooting.

Milicic is now only shooting, but you think about the big man at 213cm who can shoot from a distance! And the position is still a small forward. Most of the small forwards on the scene are around 203, so it is still very stressful to shoot in the face of players who are 10cm taller than themselves.

The Clippers attacked, and Conley dribbled himself for a while and passed to Joe, who didn't pull and played inside. With his back to Garnett, he squeezed in a few times, then pretended to break through, but in fact passed to Milicic.

Pierce saw that Milicic came up and relaxed a lot, after all, Milicic's water is well known, even if Milicic is very high, but in their eyes water is water.

However, when Milicic threw this ball, Pierce was also taken aback, and the big man in front of him really felt it!

Pierce didn't react, and Milicic's height advantage allowed him to shoot in front of an unsuspecting Pierce.

With the sound of "brushing" into the net, the Clippers finally led the Celtics for the first time! 56:58!

Of course, it's possible that Milicic's goal was just luck, at least that's what Pierce thought.

Here, Garnett received a pass from Rondo and hit Joe, Joe defended it, and the ball didn't go in! Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound. The Clippers weren't in a hurry either, and they didn't play a quick break like they did in the first quarter.

Once everyone was in position, especially after Milicic was in position, Conley passed the ball directly to Milicic. Milicic also didn't care about the top perimeter defender in front of him, Pierce, and shot straight away. Pierce was still a little slower to react, and Milicic hit again!

Pierce was stunned, he didn't see Milicic before, he used to want to be sudden when Milicic was in the Pistons. Now this kid actually dares to shoot a basketball on his head? What's wrong with this world!

Pierce is also a man with a temper, having been conced twice by Milicic and scored both. If Milicic had been replaced by Joe, he would have felt a little better. Now it's a temper!

Pierce directly hit Milicic after asking for the ball, Milicic basically had no defense, although he used his weight to push Pierce, but he was turned around by Pierce. Pierce took the opportunity to make a layup, but don't forget that the Clippers are not without people inside, and Jordan Jr. jumped from the side to give Pierce a hot pot.

Joe got the rebound and rushed directly to the frontcourt, the Celtics immediately returned to defense, Joe saw Garnett behind him out of the corner of his eye, Garnett ran back the moment Pierce was capped, although the speed was not as fast as Joe, but he ran ahead of time to catch up.

Joe knew that he would be hated by Garnett, and he was scheming, and when he got to the basket, he stopped directly, and shook Garnett away with a nimble turn.

At this time, everyone else caught up, and Joe saw the person who ran to the back and threw the ball directly!

The slowest runner in the game was Milicic, who was right at the three-point line when he received the ball, and then he walked to the three-point line and started to shoot. Pierce reacted and immediately turned around and jumped to defend. It's a pity that I ran a little faster, and the distance was a little far. There was enough time to defend, but unfortunately the hand did not cover the eye, and Milicic hit again. Score 6 points in front of Pierce! 56:60!

Milicic's presence on the field is too low, and the former name of parallel goods has become the best disguise. Unfortunately, Milicic didn't dare to shoot three points. There was no problem shooting three points in the position just now. It's a pity that Milicic didn't dare to shoot three points, in fact, his long shot is infinitely close to the three-point line, and if he shoots three points, it should be no problem, but he just doesn't want to shoot far. This is Milicic, he really has no confidence, if it weren't for his accurate mid-range shot, plus Stevens kept saying: You can vote casually, and you won't be blamed if you lose. In this way, Milicic has the confidence to shoot. It's like coaxing a child.

But that's how Milicic works, he's a raised battery.

Now Milicic doesn't talk about substitutes, it's a question of whether he can play in a game. But Milicic is a sharp knife that surprises, and if you use it too much, it is not a sharp knife, so it is destined that Milicic will only have so many opportunities to play, but it is definitely a critical time.
