At the start of the third quarter, the Celtics did not launch a big counterattack as expected, but instead they were unhurried, calm, and very patient with conventional tactics. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Plagued by three fouls in the first half, Kevin Garnett looked restrained on both the offensive and defensive ends, and was careful to control his foul count. In the first five minutes of the third quarter, the two sides played calmly, and the Celtics' shooting percentage was rising, but the Lakers were also scoring. The confrontation between the two sides is slowly escalating, and the Celtic are like a heavy train that has just started, accelerating rather slowly.

When Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer on Ragabel's head, the Celtics called a timeout, and the difference between the two sides was 9 points, and a three-pointer from Kobe Bryant allowed the Lakers, who had just narrowed the gap to 6 points, to return to safety in an instant. The originally worried Lakers fans also slowly relaxed, thinking that the Celtics are not so scary, as long as the Lakers attack is turned on, the OK combination works together, and the Green Shirts have nothing to fear.

However, Phil Jackson did not think so, and he found that the Celtics had two changes from the third quarter, firstly, they increased the intensity of the package and interference in the defense, and secondly, they were constantly distributing and transferring the ball in the offense, and finishing the offense from beyond the three-point line. Also, the referee's penalty scale is in favor of the Lakers, who lack a strong system and physical strength on the defensive end, relying on some relatively large defensive moves to hinder the Celtics' offense, and Jarvey seems to acquiesce to this.

Of course, the two three-pointers of Arenas and Pierce made Jackson's heart tight, but the Lakers still did a good job on offense, and with Kobe's genius, the Lakers survived the beginning.

After the timeout, Leon made an important substitution, replacing Kevin Garnett with Chris Anderson and Ragabel with Michael Reed, and Jackson knew the Celtics were going to show their bayonets.

Leon laid out two plans at halftime, the first was to apply high pressure at the beginning of the third quarter, using Arenas and Pierce three-pointers to quickly chase the score, but Leon gave up on this idea after two or three rounds of the third quarter. Obviously, the Lakers are very vigilant, and Jarvey's blowing penalty scale makes the game not tight at all, and some of the Lakers' relatively big defensive moves make it impossible for the Celtics to bring the offensive rhythm.

Therefore, Leon decisively asked the players on the sidelines to slow down the pace, calm their minds, play little by little according to normal tactics, wait for the opportunity, and wait for the arrival of the rotation period.

The second plan is exactly what Leon is ready to implement, and it is also a tried and tested trick in the face of the Lakers - to go to the bench and muddy the waters.

Chris Anderson is simply Stamps' nightmare, this Dennis Rodman descendant did not learn Rodman's invincible rebounding, and the ability to practice Taibao to cause trouble everywhere has been learned, and nine times out of ten it is used against the Los Angeles Lakers.

When the Celtics were all benches in Stamps to defeat the Lakers, they mainly relied on Chris Anderson's god-level play, and this year he used a clothesline "classic reproduction" in Stamp to help the Celtics turn the tide and win the game.

In the words of the Los Angeles Times after the game, "Chris Anderson has challenged the entire history of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Lakers. So, when Anderson took off his tracksuit and straightened his shorts to the court, the audience erupted in shrill boos. But Anderson doesn't seem to care, and at a young age he has learned to deal with all the off-court factors calmly, because Dennis Rodman once told him, "If you're scared by those boos, they just get worse." Only by making them **** can we shut them up. ”

"Won't Chris have a problem? Jarvey's guy isn't easy to deal with. Cowens expressed a hint of concern and apprehension about Anderson, because he knew that Anderson would have to play against not only the Lakers players, but also the referees.

"No problem, I know what Jarvey is thinking, if he raises the bar and tightens up the blowing, then we will raise the tempo, if he doesn't dare to do this, then let Anderson make a mess for a while and see what happens next." Leon told Cowens not to worry.

However, Leon is still a little worried, especially at this stage, when Kevin Garnett is replaced, whether the team's overall defense will be porous, and what the impact of missing an important point on the offensive end will be, it is unknown.

But Leon believes in the Celtics' players, believes in Chris Anderson, and believes that the Lakers' good form will not last long.

……………………

As soon as Anderson came on the court, Kobe Bryant stepped forward and patted Anderson's buttocks, indicating that he had set his sights on him. Anderson glanced at Kobe Bryant with a look of indifference. The two began to feud over the clothesline foul, but Kobe Bryant was a big-hearted guy, and although he would be quick to repay on the basketball court, he was quite open-minded off the court, and he invited Anderson to a small bar near Staples for a drink after that game.

The Celtics began to attack, Arenas held the ball, and the Celtics ran a three-position tactic of folding the attack, creating a one-on-one single opportunity for Pierce in the low post, but Pierce shook off the defenders, and then split the ball to the outside line after the Lakers came up, Arenas received the ball and shot a three-point shot, and the ball hit the front of the basket, and the force was light.

"Damn it......" Arenas cursed, but Chris Anderson had already grabbed the long rebound and then distributed the ball to Arenas.

This time, Arenas didn't waste the opportunity, he took the ball and dribbled sideways, faced Bryant's defense and hit another three-point shot. After the goal, Arenas made a pistol gesture towards Kobe Bryant and swaggered back to defend.

The pressure on the Lakers is coming.

This time, they continued to pin their hopes on Kobe, who crossed the halfway line and began to receive the ball, and then suddenly accelerated to get rid of Arenas, and the Celtics opened wide in the middle, and Anderson immediately followed Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant changed the speed and cut in with his left hand, seeing that he was about to make a layup, but was knocked down by PJ Brown, who was following up with the defense, and Jarvi hesitated and didn't blow the whistle. Because such a ball has just appeared at least twice for Laker O'Neal, he still needs to control the scale so far.

At this point, Leon stood up from the sidelines, and he had a hunch that this would be a turning point, and Jarvi's hesitation would change the situation for both sides.

The knocked down Kobe Bryant didn't have time to fully get up, Arenas had already dribbled frantically across the halfcourt, Anderson followed closely, this was the Celtics' second fast offensive run, Arenas rushed to the line, the big forward was behind, and when Arenas hit the inside, a back pass ball to Anderson's hand.

If you change to Garnett, you can shoot and pass, and it will definitely handle it well, but this time it's Anderson.

"Spread it! What do you think! Leon roared from the sidelines, causing Anderson to shake his hand and pass the ball to Pierce, who was following from the flank at 45 degrees, and the ball almost missed out of bounds. However, Pierce made a slight adjustment and made a decisive shot from beyond the three-point line before the opposing defense caught up.

Another three-point hit!

In the third quarter, Pierce and Arenas each hit two three-pointers, for a total of four three-pointers, and the margin has been narrowed to three points. After the goal, Leon rarely got down on one knee and clenched his right fist, looking quite excited. Because he knew that the Celtics were aggrieved for most of the game, and from this moment on, they were going to turn over.

However, they are still in a backward position and the next defense becomes quite important.

This time, Fisher, who was in possession of the ball, chose the safest way to hand the ball to O'Neal, but Chris Anderson had already seen through everything, and the moment O'Neal received the ball, his man had already pounced, grabbed the ball in O'Neal's hand with both hands, and the two fell to the ground and grabbed a ball.

Scrum.

Anderson used his hard work to win a scrum for the ball, and after the two got up, O'Neal angrily spewed trash talk at Anderson, and Anderson didn't look at O'Neal at all, but raised his arms and gave a thumbs up to show off to the audience.

"You'd better be careful, be careful that I smash your head." Standing in the free throw circle, O'Neal muttered that he had a problem with Anderson for a long time and knew that he liked to make waves at Stamp and wanted to teach him a lesson.

But Anderson is a very cunning guy, he did not talk to O'Neal, but had already prepared the scrum, and as soon as the referee threw the ball, he immediately touched the ball with superhuman speed and dialed the ball to Arenas.

Arenas generally killed the half-court, and when his teammates and opponents were not in position, he pulled up and shot outside the three-point line!

Like a knife, this long-range pull-up three-pointer was inserted into the center of the Lakers' basket, and their heartland - three-point shot, tied it!

There was silence at Stamps, and the Celtics made back-to-back three-pointers to close the gap.

After the goal, Leon shouted at Arenas from the sidelines: "I didn't think it would go in, count yourself lucky!" ”

Arenas shouted as he returned to the defense, "so-you-are-overpaid!" (So you're overrated!) (To be continued.) )
