213: Another army

Garnett's back-to-back goals and Rondo's blocks didn't make Henson furious. People don't know what these two things have to do with Leonard. Could it be that Henson still wants Leonard to defend Garnett?

People can't guess what Henson wants to do, and that's exactly what Henson wants to see. Garnett scored back-to-back goals, and Henson wasn't worried, because Pierce didn't open before it meant that the Celtics' offense hadn't actually fully opened. Rondo's closure is even more worry-free, because Chris. Paul wouldn't make the same mistake twice!

This time, when Rondo crossed to Paul again with his own menacing eyes, the No. 3 defender was noticeably calmer.

He used his mastery of ball control to dodge Rondo's pressing, while also watching his teammates' movements, ready to pass the ball at any time.

"You coward, you kind of get a point on my head. Come on, try it! Rondo defended and kept provocative with his mouth.

Even the Celtics players will surely admit that Rondo's mouth is really broken. Not to mention the opponent, even his teammates sometimes can't stand his mouth. This, believe Ray. Aaron knows it well.

Paul was tempted to smash the No. 9 in front of him now, but in the end, reason prevailed over impulse. After George got out of the three-point line with a superb run and a double screen, Paul was able to get out of the ball.

"Coward!" Rondo yelled, saliva almost touching Paul's face.

But Paul still ignored it, and he suddenly cut inside and ran into the box, and Rondo raised his hands to block the path of George Paul's pass.

Halfway through Paul's run, he suddenly made a sudden stop, and then ran back! Rondo wanted to follow immediately, but unfortunately, this time he bumped into David solidly. West.

"Damn!" Rondo knows that big things are not good! Giving Paul room to do so would be tantamount to suicide!

But what about knowing? By the time Rondo got rid of West and pounced, Paul had already made a three-point shot.

This time, Paul was extremely calm. From half-time to passing to running off the ball, Paul's feet were pinpointed on every beat, bringing Henson's tactics to the pitch perfectly.

"Brush!" Paul hit a three-pointer, and he smugly punched three fingers at Rondobi, "You're still in charge of passing, man!" ”

"Wonderful response, it can be seen that Rondo's block just now has completely angered Paul! No wonder Coach Henson is not in a hurry at all, no, the 4-point advantage is almost instantaneous! "Mike. Brin applauded the calm coach and point guard, and with Paul and Henson, the Pacers are simply a "duo" battle.

After that, the basketball was still played to Garnett. Even though Paul has been provoking Rondo with his mouth, saying that he will always be the little brother who passes the ball to the Big Three. But Rondo still held back, did not go wild, and obediently hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Although, Paul's playful smile upset Rondo......

"For the third time in this match, KG tried to play singles in the low post. The Celtics' strategy is very clear, which is to use the resuscitated KG to open up the situation. Will Coach Henson be in the bag? Belch...... It still doesn't look like there's a clip. ”

Still without a bag, Rivers was in a hurry. It's not like Henson's character, how can he sit back and watch Garnett score in the box?

If you don't get a clip, how does Pierce get a chance?

Garnett was still the same as in the first two rounds, he didn't attack directly after receiving the ball, but looked left and right for a while. It's clear that Garnett is waiting for a bag clip!

However, the Pacers still stood still and continued to be marked!

"Stick to man-to-man defense!" This is what Henson emphasized to his players countless times before the game, wanting to give Pierce space to score? There are no doors!

And just like that, Garnett began a hand-to-hand fight with Horford for the third time in a row. He also used his turnaround jumper to score the ball for the third time in a row of the game.

"Six points in a row, the first six points of the Celtics were all covered by Garnett in one fell swoop."

Garnett scored again, three in a row. Henson believes that maybe even Rivers didn't expect his feint to be so stable today. That's right, Garnett is just a feint! He was eager to use his warmed form to involve the defense, but Henson believes that even Garnett, who is playing in the fifth position in every round, will not be able to bear it!

Want a bag clip? No, no!

Paul then assisted Green on a three-point shot from the bottom corner. Once Paul starts to calm down, the Pacers' offense generally won't have much of a problem.

With the margin still only 1 point, Rivers waved his arms vigorously on the sidelines, signaling the Celtics to launch a more violent attack!

Garnett has already scored 6 points in a row in the same way, and now, Henson will be covered anyway!

Just when Rivers was secretly proud, he found that the Pacers' defensive position was still man-to-man!

This time, Horford is no longer polite to the "old wolf". Before Garnett could get in place, Horford went on a strong confrontation, his arm against Garnett's waist, and he pushed the six-point KG outward.

Garnett's footing was unstable, so that the basketball that Rondo had already lifted was not transmitted. He is well aware that it is very dangerous to pass the ball when the post player is not firmly in position.

"Rondo!" At this time, a shout came from the ears of the Green Army No. 9, it was Pierce!

Without hesitation, Rondo immediately gave the ball to Pierce and to the Celtics' real offensive point!

Danny. You can't run to death. Green immediately pressed on, leaning against his body, leaving no space for Pierce!

"It's a real playoff-level defense!" Mike. Brin couldn't help but shout.

Pierce struggled and was pressed from beyond the three-point line, a defensive intensity that the Celtics had never experienced with the Hawks.

Not to mention, the huge offensive space that the Celtics are planning. Today, if walkers are not included, there is no space at all.

Pierce had to take a few steps back with the ball to get rid of his entanglement with Green. He reached out for cover, and Garnett immediately brought it up. However, the moment the Celtics blocked the pick-and-roll, the Pacers completed the switch. Horford resolutely crossed in front of Pierce, leaving no space for the other party!

At the same time, Green went around the front to defend Garnett, the Pacers' starting 3-and-D small forward, who almost sat on Garnett's knees, much to KG's annoyance.

"The Celtics are in big trouble offensively." Mike. Bryn pouted, no wonder Henson wasn't in a hurry, because the Celtics' offense was ...... It doesn't seem to be as smooth as it seems.

In the end, the helpless Pierce had to hand over the ball to Ray under the opponent's strict defense. Alan. The latter hurriedly hit the iron outside the three-point line, and the Celtics' offensive wave was interrupted here!

Thunder. Allen is the least worried about Henson of the Big Three, firstly, he is the oldest, secondly, he has a foot injury, and thirdly, and most importantly, Ray. Allen didn't get along well with the other two giants, Rondo and Celtic management.

In other words, Ray. Allen is the least eager of the three giants, his green blood no longer flows through his body, and he is disappointed in everything that has happened in Boston. People say this will be the "last season" of the Green Army's Big Three, and it's not for nothing that people say it's true.

Thunder. Allen's first shot today was crooked, which seemed to fulfill Henson's speculation.

The three-point iron formed a long rebound, which simply created a rapid counterattack for the Pacers, or a hotbed for early offense!

George jumped high to pocket the rebound and then immediately pushed it himself, and the Pacers instantly picked up the tempo.

Chase, chase it desperately. Now the more fierce the Celtics chase, the more they will consume later!

Eventually, George's fast-break layup was fouled by Garnett. Although George couldn't score, he still got a chance to get to the free throw line.

Rivers felt the pressure on him soar because he knew that Henson had seen through his tricks. He didn't wrap up Garnett, just to watch out for Pierce!

Not giving the Celtics room to score easily makes it necessary for the Celtics to spend more effort on hand-to-hand combat every time they score. The Pacers aren't afraid to play the Celtics, who have been resting for a few days, and the Celtics were playing against the Hawks two days ago.

Rivers feels like he's been beaten by the best coach again, and putting the way to deal with the Hawks on the Pacers doesn't seem to work well anymore......
