Chapter 286: Let's Touch?
It's noon!
The starting line-up was laid out on both sides of the field.
On the Celtics side, Thomas Jr., Bradley, Crowder, Amir Johnson, Jared Sullinger.
On the Pacers' side are Xu Xuan, CJ Myers, Paul George, PJ Tucker, and Javier McGee.
The Celtics played 12 players today, with David Lee, Smart, Rozier, Evan Turner and others on the sidelines.
Jump ball in the middle circle.
Relying on the height advantage, McGee jumped to win against Sallinger and dialed the ball to Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan slowly dribbled through the halfcourt.
Little Thomas didn't dare to be careless, staring at the ball in Xu Xuan's hand.
Thomas Jr. is impeccable on the offensive end, but he is also notoriously a big colanderer on the defensive end, after all, the natural 175 suffered too much on the defensive end.
After a block and demolition, Xu Xuan chose to break through.
Came to the free throw line, sent a ground-hitting pass to Crowder's defense, and gave the ball to Pickled Pepper under the basket, and Pickled Pepper hit a layup.
0-2, the Pacers took the lead.
Back on the side, the Celtics attacked.
When Thomas Jr. faced Xu Xuan with the ball, he became very cautious, held the ball in his arms, beckoned Sallinger's block, and then began to dribble, a sideways skimming past Salinger, Xu Xuan was blocked by the strong Sallinger, and followed closely behind Thomas Jr.
Little Thomas didn't rush a few steps, and saw that the pickled pepper's defense was coming, so he made an emergency stop and was about to make a move.
Xu Xuan pounced directly and opened his hand to block the shooting angle of Thomas Jr......
Swish!
Return one!
The few Green Army fans on the sidelines were excited, the ball was very difficult, there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, and Thomas Jr. still threw the ball into the basket with a blank face!
It's not easy!
Xu Xuan didn't rush to start a fast attack today, the Celtics were obviously prepared for this starter, and the highest inside line was Salinger, and it was only 206, and the Celtics just thought about dealing with the Pacers' fast attack tactics today.
The front court handed over the ball to the pickled pepper that came out of the pocket to respond, and the pickled pepper held the ball and cut in.
Xu Xuan came around from the other side, and Bradley followed closely behind.
Pickled Pepper's cut was cut off by the Green Army's supplementary defense, Pickled Pepper immediately passed, and Xu Xuan, who went around to the top of the arc, received the basketball, he didn't stop for a moment, and while Bradley hadn't caught up, he directly received the basketball, and rushed in with a crotch dribble.
After a few dribbles, Xu Xuan rushed to the free throw line, Bradley didn't catch up, and the green army's supplementary defense on both sides rushed over.
Xu Xuan didn't hesitate, stepped on the free throw line one step away, and jumped up with a big fork-
Bang!
Tomahawk clasp!
The momentum is amazing!
Even when Xu Xuan jumped, Amir Johnson on the inside subconsciously gave way to the side......
β66666β
"It's a free-throw line jump!"
"Amazing bounce!"
"Xu Xuan should participate in the slam dunk contest this season, right? I can't wait to see him in the slam dunk contest. β
Xu Xuan himself was a little surprised, the ball was obviously so far away from the basket, but he always felt that he could dunk it.
He conservatively estimated that the ball he just dunked was not far off even if it was not as good as LaVine's free-throw line dunk.
2 to 4.
The Celtics attack.
Thomas Jr. controlled the ball in the front court, took a tentative step, broke through directly from Xu Xuan's right side, rushed to the three-point line, Thomas Jr. stopped, aimed at the basket, and jumped on the spot.
Bang, didn't enter.
The Celtics lacked interior height in this lineup, and McGee had a big hand and put the rebound in his arms.
It's coming!
The fast break of the baseline serve has no deterrent effect, and this kind of fast break after grabbing rebounds is more threatening!
"Stop him!"
The young marshal shouted anxiously from the sidelines.
Seeing Thomas Jr. pounce with a pair of small short hands, he is not the main defensive force, the main defense of Xu Xuan on the Celtics' side is Avery Bradley!
Thomas Jr. on the left, Bradley on the right, and a eager Claude in the middle.
Three-person bag clip?
This ball Xu Xuan is not ready to play by himself.
I saw him throw the ball behind his head, and on the periphery, CJ Myers, who had an empty space, fired decisively.
Bang Dangββ!
CJ Myers is also a very reliable No. 2 scorer, but his biggest problem is
Very unstable.
Crowder picked up the rebound in the middle of the crack.
It was Celtic's turn to attack.
Thomas Jr. came over with the ball, made a gesture, and after quickly pulling away, Thomas Jr. held the ball and cut in.
Xu Xuan can't stop Little Thomas, just like Little Thomas can't stop Xu Xuan.
This 175 looks very confrontational, in fact, Xu Xuan secretly competed with him a few times before he realized that this guy's physical fitness is definitely not weak, but it is only because of his height that he looks a little thin.
The left side bursts in and shifts to the bottom corner Bradley throws a ......
The posture was very lame, and the hand speed was very hurried, but the ball still wobbled and fell into the basket!
5 to 4!
The Celtics took the lead.
Xu Xuan was not in a hurry, and while shaking little Thomas, he made a secret signal to the pickled pepper.
After a brief eye contact, on the other side, using McGee's cover, Pickle Pepper slipped to the free throw line to catch the ball.
It's a vacuum in the Celtic defence.
Turn, insert, catch, dunk!
Ball to man!
A perfect air cut + air connection!
"Xu Xuan is getting more and more like a general now, you look at the ball, hey, you shoot so beautifully." In the studio, Zhang said with a smile.
"What Coach Zhang said is that as the star of the Pacers, Xu Xuan has performed very well in recent games, and has already won a triple-double in three games." Yu Jia said with a smile.
In the last game against the Pistons, Xu Xuan's statistics were 19 points, 14 assists, and 6 rebounds.
Counting the previous two games, it is just three triple-doubles in a row!
The game continued, with the Celtics attacking.
This time, Thomas Jr. decided to play on his own, and after the outside line wiped out Xu Xuan's defense, the iconic pull-up jump shot!
This ball is here!
"Isaiah β Thomas!"
Thomas Jr., who enjoyed the cheers of the small group of fans at the scene, was very proud, and while Thomas Jr. was still slowly retreating, on the Pacers' side, Ferrari had already started.
Xu Xuan is not ready to fight the Celtics all the time, I heard that you are also a small lineup?
Do you dare to pull it out and let's touch it?!
The Celtics retreated quickly, but Xu Xuan was faster!
Wear a flower butterfly step!
Hmmm-
The fast break from Xu Xuan was unreasonable and shot through the three-point shot in front of him.
"It feels good today." After throwing this fast-break three-pointer, Xu Xuan thought to himself.
In the studio, Director Zhang smiled: "Hey, Xu Xuan's first three-point shot today!"
In the Pacers, he is the only one who dares to throw this ball, and if others shoot like this, they will be replaced by the coach. β
