Chapter 306, Finals (6)
In the last game, the Lakers were bombarded by Ray Allen and Rondo in turn, Ray Allen hit 8 three-pointers, setting an NBA Finals record, while Rondo frequently attacked at the last critical moment, and the Celtics took away the victory from Los Angeles and achieved home-court advantage.
The next three home games are played in Boston, and the Celtics hope that they don't have to go back to Los Angeles, but it's good to have a wish, but the Lakers must take advantage of the Celtics' home momentum and desperately grab the next game to regain the home court advantage! Once the morale of the Celtics team rises after losing a game, it is not impossible for the Lakers to take it directly! So the cruel reality is in front of them, and the Lakers are going to bite off a piece of meat from the Celtics this time.
However, in the opening game, the Celtics took the aftermath of the last victory, and gave the Lakers a heavy blow, and Garnett, who was sleepwalking in the last game, was very active today, and on the first offense after the opening, he shook Gasol with flexible footsteps and scored an easy layup, and then Garnett performed an aerial relay with Rondo twice in a row, dunked twice and made a layup, and one person scored the first 6 points of the game.
The Celtics started the game 12-5, but after that, the Lakers directly increased their defensive intensity, so that the Celtics failed to score for nearly 3 minutes, and the Lakers scored 8 points in a row to overtake 13-12, and the Lakers' defensive intensity increased to make the Celtics very uncomfortable, until 4 minutes and 19 seconds in the first quarter, the Celtics only scored 1 point from the free throw, and the score was in trouble again, but fortunately Rondo hit a three-pointer, but after the first quarter fell behind 17-26.
Ray Allen, who had just set a record in the last game, had a bad hand in the first quarter, missing all 3 shots and not scoring a point, and Pierce still couldn't find his senses, and all the first 4 shots were missed, and the slump of the two big players made the Celtics' score plummet!
It was the Celtics who made the substitution after the start of the second quarter that found the offensive touch! Slowly recovered a little bit of the score, but the Zen master didn't want the Celtics to see hope, so he directly replaced Artest and Gasol with Odom and Huang Yu.
The Lakers' pseudo-shooters were powerful, and the Lakers led by 17 points at one point at one point at 37-20 in the second quarter, but the Celtics bench defense was tenacious, and from time to time they counterattacked, Kobe Bryant was under the defense of Tony Allen, and it was difficult to score, but the more difficult it was, the more goals were scored, if it wasn't for physical problems, Kobe Bryant hit the iron twice in a row, causing the Celtics to recover 5 points, and the Zen master would not replace him.
There's no way around it, Kobe's shooting percentage has always been the main excuse for the media to spray him, and he feels good today, are you not letting me shoot a few more? As everyone knows, these 3 of Tie directly lowered his hit rate today.
After Kobe Bryant went off the court, Tony Allen and Pierce switched positions and concentrated on defending Kobe! Just now Huang Yu had a chance to play Kobe Bryant's singles, but now Kobe is down, and he is being targeted by Tony Allen again!
Bang! Bang! Two consecutive three-point shots, all of which were shots after blocking and dismantling, made Huang Yu frown! Why does it feel so bad today! But fortunately, the third three-point shot finally went in, Huang Yu wiped the cold sweat that did not appear on his forehead, Nima will not be able to take the blame tomorrow.
But at this time, Pierce directly broke through Odom and entered the interior line to cause Odom's foul, and the rebound was grabbed by Bynum after two free throws and one hit, but the offensive Odom did not shoot in the empty position, and then Pierce shot a three-pointer, chasing the score to 38-44, Pierce fired, which is not good news for the Lakers, so the Lakers players habitually look for the first scoring point on the court.
So Huang Yu could only stand up, although Tony Allen defended with all his might, Huang Yu hit a dry pull three-point and a pull-up jump shot to help the Lakers stabilize the situation, and then the Celtics' offense was defended by the Lakers again, Huang Yu repeated his old tricks near the three-point line, but Tony Allen moved too much and Huang Yu hit it directly and made three free throws!
Seeing that there was a chance to tie and was pulled away again, Rivers was very dissatisfied and yelled on the sidelines, but even if he yelled, it was useless, Huang Yu scored three goals cleanly! Although they couldn't score next, the Celtics couldn't shoot again in the quarter and trailed 40-52 at the end of the first half.
----------
The atmosphere in the locker room in the midfield is a little better, the next day after the last loss, we went directly to Boston, because Boston and Los Angeles are too far away on the plane, so the players are very tacit in sleeping, until the hotel is also the same atmosphere!
But when I got used to training this morning, I finally had to solve the problems in the last game, and I couldn't put it off! So in the last game, several players who performed very poorly were named by the Zen master for this squirt!
The first to spray is the bench, only relying on free throws to get 2 points Shannon Brown is the focus of the spray, followed by Odom, who has too many fouls, because his foul playing time has to be shortened, can only let Farmar and Vujacic to fill the gap, as a result, Farmar and Vujasic, these two often complain about the short playing time, one is worse than the other, Farmar shot 3 of 7, including 1 of 4 three-pointers! And Vujacic hit a three-pointer! Then the whole audience starts to be invisible!
Although the old fish should be the one who was sprayed, but in view of his age, and his overall performance is okay, he only got 6 points, 4 assists and 7 rebounds in 35 minutes of 8 shots and 2 shots!
The focus of the profit Zen master is concentrated on Kobe, although there are 6 assists, but Huang Yu has many opportunities to miss the ball, what does it mean? Alone? No, it's easy for him to be more serious! The opposing Ray Allen soared three points, and you followed suit! You've shot 2-of-7!
Although Artest should not be able to run away in the future, it is clear that the Zen master does not plan to do so! After all, they have made meritorious contributions, and the defense of Pierce is very good, and he has played almost the whole game! Although the last 6 fouls were full, Pierce was 2 of 11 and barely scored 10 points from the free throw line! That's right, so Kobe's face was black until the warm-up of the game began!
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Ray Allen didn't seem to have found the crosshairs, although the opportunity was good, but he still missed frequently, and even threw "three no-sticks", and his shots under the basket were also very outrageous.
On the other hand, Kobe Bryant threw confidence and continued to kill inside, which is also the Zen master thinks that the Celtics who should sit on the outside line cannot be opened now, and they must transfer the offensive line, so while they are still trying the outside, the Lakers will start to cause damage to the inside, especially for Garnett, who is in good shape today.
So under the Lakers' care, Garnett quickly committed two fouls in the third quarter, and Ray Allen only scored two points with free throws with 9:10 left in the third quarter.
However, soon both teams fell sharply in the third quarter, and the Lakers failed to shoot a shot in 4 minutes, and Kobe Bryant broke the scoring drought with 4 minutes and 29 seconds left, but at this time the Celtics had gradually caught up, so the Zen master made a quick decision and replaced Kobe and Artest.
After Huang Yu came on the court, he received a pass from Lao Yu, and directly faked a breakthrough and stepped back to hit a three-point shot, and the Lakers led 65-57, but after the Celtics replaced Ray Allen and Garnett, Wallace and Tony Allen on the court scored one after another, and the Celtics narrowed the gap to 4 points. After three quarters, the Lakers only led 67-61.
The Celtics, who were active at the end of the third quarter, came off the bench and chased the score to 67-68 with a wave of 6-1 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, while the Lakers' offense kept hitting the iron until 9 minutes and 12 seconds, when Huang Yu hit a shot.
And at the critical moment, the most outstanding performance is the veteran, although Shannon Brown had a good performance against the Thunder before, but today Fisher broke out in the fourth quarter, and continued to shoot with the help of pick-and-roll, and also received a three-pointer from Gasol.
The first half of this quarter belonged to the old fish, and soon the Lakers counterattacked after the Celtics missed the shot, but Rondo took the lead in blocking his offensive line, and the old fish changed direction sharply, forcing Rondo to move, and then he directly stuck to it, earned two free throws, and after hitting two free throws, the Lakers took a double-digit lead at 82-70.
Immediately after Rondo made a mistake, it was the old fish who picked up the ball and threw it to Huang Yu, seeing that he had a chance to be killed, Huang Yu went directly into the inside, causing Perkins' foul, and even scored 3 points with free throws, Rondo may have been affected by the previous mistake, and this time he was more careful when he obviously broke through, but the old fish's hidden small actions made him very uncomfortable! In the process of breaking through, the action was deformed, and he was directly blocked by Huang Yu and grabbed the rebound.
Fisher rushed through the half court at this time, Huang Yu made a long throw, Fisher received the ball and directly shook off the defensive Wallace hit the board, and scored 8 of the Lakers' first 13 points in the quarter.
Seeing that the Lakers had expanded the difference to 15 points, Rivers directly called a timeout, and had to interrupt the Lakers' scoring momentum, Kobe Bryant replaced Huang Yu on the field, although the Celtics' offense improved after the timeout, the shooting rate was still not high! Fisher continued to play his role as a surprise man with 48.3 seconds left in the game, and with 48.3 seconds left in the game, Fisher scored three points with free throws to keep the Lakers ahead at 88-80.
Immediately after Ray Allen's three-point shot failed to hit again, the goal set by the Celtics was stillborn, and the first home court was lost, and the home court advantage that had just been regained was returned to the Lakers, and what to talk about solving the battle in Boston!
Although the Lakers regained home-court advantage, they failed to receive praise because of Fisher's outburst! "When the old fish wears Kobe's jersey! This is the news headline of this game given by Kobe Bryant's black E*PN! And the media in Los Angeles began to sing all kinds of praises! "Kobe Bryant's Best Partner" and "The Old Fish Still Doesn't Leave His Hands"
But there is still a small poke of the media to keep sanity! They subjectively reported on the Lakers' victory, but more often than not, it was the referee's penalty scale! The first two games of the Lakers and Celtics can be said to be intermittent, although the game has converged, but still blow a lot of fouls, especially the Celtics Rivers even said that in the critical stage of chasing points in the fourth quarter, two balls that can barely be considered fouls were blown! This greatly affects the win or loss of the game!
Of course, the Lakers are a little better, but the Celtics have met a lot of criticism from the media, such as the slump of Pierce and Ray Allen, and Rondo fell into the foul trap prepared by the Lakers, Rondo is actually quite innocent, Pierce and Ray Allen are not in good shape, and Rondo, who has a low scoring ability, was directly cut off 50% of his skills, which is already a lot worse in the face of the outbreak of old fish! The results can be imagined.
----------
The fourth game of the finals between the Lakers and the Celtics is scheduled for the 11th, but the Lakers' overall performance today is sluggish, although Kobe Bryant got 33 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds, Gasol got 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Huang Yu got 19 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists, such data The Lakers still lost the game! Let the Celtics pull the overall score to 2-2! ~
In this game, the Celtics' bench exploded and became the key to deciding the outcome of the game, the Lakers' bench scored a total of 18 points, while the Celtics scored 36 points! Although Huang Yu scored 19 points, the Zen master changed formations today! This is also the reason why Huang Yu's score is lower than usual.
Today, Huang Yu started the game, replacing Artest, who was not in good form in the first two games! Because the chasing coach told the Zen master that when Huang Yu singled out Pierce, the effect was also very good! And if Artesta is not in good scoring form, it is more suitable to be placed on the bench!
However, just after a section of this tactic, the Zen master had to make changes, today's Pierce is a sweep of decline, continuous strong beating of Huang Yu's hand, although Huang Yu has been in place, but today's Pierce state is like a divine help! Immediately, the Zen master replaced Huang Yu early, causing Huang Yu to go off the court in the first quarter with 2 points and 1 rebound on 1 of 2 shots!
-----------
Zen Master's substitution made Huang Yu a little depressed, I have already put the guard in place, Pierce can still throw in, that can only say that he is in full shape, you replace me like this, it seems to be a slap in the face! But there is no slap in the face of the people of the United States! Because the Zen master disdains to go in such a direction, it's normal for me to change you as a coach!
But it's also strange to say that as soon as Artest was on, Pierce suddenly withered! This made Huang Yu very embarrassed, but the analysis of the system elf made Huang Yu frown!
His small actions didn't directly hit Pierce's vital point, so let's guard against his back! Although Huang Yu's knees pressed against his thighs, making it impossible for him to exert his strength easily, Artest was more ruthless than Huang Yu, and directly pushed his knees against the root of his thighs! That's the one near 00! From time to time, it makes Pierce feel unspeakable!
Although Huang Yu thought that this was a bit excessive, the words of the system elf made Huang Yu suddenly throw this idea out of his mind!
"You're going to have to have this kind of defense in the future, it's just that people don't bother to use it against you now!"
So Huang Yu focused on carefully observing how Pierce dealt with Artest's small moves, and the system elf was right, although Huang Yu also encountered some small moves, but there were very few of them this season! Seldom.
Last season, Huang Yu was able to play with low-post techniques, but this season he is more of a 3D player! The number of times I have been violated by small actions is simply rare, and the only one that is more difficult may be Tony Allen! In the face of such a defense, it is still impossible to see, if it is really the core of the team all the time, and encounters this kind of difficult defensive action, Huang Yu will definitely be affected, even if there is a hit rate bonus, the data will be a mess!
Although the Lakers maintained the lead in the first three quarters, the Celtics made up for Qi Fawei in the fourth quarter, pressing the Lakers bench to play, even if the Lakers slowly changed back, but Rivers had ideas! Since the substitutes are playing well, then you can continue! It wasn't until the last 3 minutes that Celtic switched back to the main force! Although Kobe Bryant has been trying to save the decline! However, when the offense conceded at a critical moment, Rondo scored quickly, and the Celtics extended the difference to a 12-point advantage, and the Lakers were unable to recover.
And the next game is still on the home court of the Celtics, and the battle of Tianwang Mountain has not yet started, which has cast a shadow on the way forward for the Lakers!
