Chapter 197: The Decisive Moment!
The game finally dragged into the fourth quarter with you let me and I let you go, and Adelman gathered everyone together during the break and began to explain the tactics.
In the first three quarters of the game, Yao Ming also relied on the help of Xia and others to get a double-double of 38 points and 13 rebounds, so if he wins the game, this MVP will also be taken into Yao Ming's arms.
Adelman is not careless about the honor of his beloved apprentice, and the tactics that should be talked about still need to be talked about, after all, the difference between the scores of the two sides is not big, 111:110, only one point apart, so if you want to win the game, this tactic is still very important.
"Okay, everyone understands my tactics, right? So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Paul, you must organize well, when the time comes, Hayward, Durant, you also have to pay attention to cover and run, and then Anthony you and Duncan must also be careful of rebounding, if there is really no chance for you to play alone, I believe in your ability, when Duncan you are also ready to respond, the opposite inside line is not your opponent, in the interior you must kick the opposite side to know! Adelman carefully explained the tactics to the crowd, and after a while, the game finally began.
The Rockets have the ball, and the Heat Big Three on the Eastern side are not present, instead of the Celtics Big Four plus a small Ace, it seems that Rivers has the same idea as Adelman, and the strongest combination is always put at the end to end the game.
Paul controls the ball, Rondo presses in the frontcourt, but this Rondo's pressing is obviously very inappropriate, after all, this is Paul, as the league's recognized No. 1 point guard, it is really difficult to force him to make mistakes.
With the ball, Paul used a few quick stops to change the rhythm under Rondo's pressure to shake him off, maybe it was a bit inappropriate to shake him off, after all, Rondo's defense was as close as a dogskin plaster, but Paul still brought the ball to the front.
Entering the frontcourt, Anthony came to answer, and Paul, the fourth brother of the banana boat, simply handed the ball to Anthony, so that Anthony and Garnett, who came over, formed a heads-up one.
After a few consecutive crotch dribbles, Anthony brought the ball to the top of the arc, Durant wanted to come over to cover when he saw this, but he was stopped by the melon halfway through, after all, this kind of small and big heads-up is Anthony's favorite.
Although Garnett's ability to act is no worse than Anthony's, he can't stand Garnett's age, and Garnett Anthony is still very confident in singles.
The continuous change of direction rhythm dribbles, Garnett took a step back a little swayingly, so that Anthony felt liberated, after all, Garnett's hand was too long, and if he wanted to steal, Anthony was still a little weak.
Activated, Anthony ran almost instantly, and then Garnett defended again, Anthony clinged to Garnett to complete a turn, although this action was completed and still did not shake off Garnett, but as long as Anthony pulled away a little distance, he was already very satisfied.
With a jumper, Anthony started shooting right under Garnett's nose, and the basketball crossed the fingertips of both men, forming a graceful arc in the air and then pinpointing into the net.
This is Anthony's best long-range mid-range shot, and even if Garnett's hand almost touches the basketball, it still can't stop Anthony's star ball.
113:110
The score stretched to three points, and Anthony showed his signature melon smile back to the backcourt.
Ball exchange, eastern offense, Rondo quickly came to the front court with the ball, and after stepping through the midfield, Paul's defense was also forced, facing Paul's defense Rondo did not pass, and several dribbles under the crotch steadily protected the ball in his hands.
"Hey!" Rondo yelled, and as the sound fell, Garnett ran straight back from the inside, giving Rondo a pick-and-roll while shaking off Anthony.
This is a tactic in the East, a tactic against Anthony, and it is well known that Anthony's ability to defend the ball and block and pick and roll is very poor, so Rivers also seized this point and let Garnett and Rondo play a block and pick tactic specifically against Anthony.
Garnett covered, Paul was delayed, and Rondo took advantage of the opportunity to break through directly, at which time Anthony rushed in front of Rondo, who hurriedly pulled the ball back, and then changed to break to the right.
Anthony couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Rondo's breakthrough move, who can this shake up when playing with such a large space to change direction and break through? Anthony moved towards his left hand as Rondo's breakthrough began.
But at this time, Anthony stopped in pain, and he didn't know when Garnett actually ran over again, and it was a block! Anthony glanced at Garnett with resentment, not knowing if it was because of the pain or what.
Twice covered, Anthony's defense was directly delayed, and the two began to go down quickly, Paul watched the two of them also have a headache and left Rondo, this time Rondo's eyes also lit up, and one hit the ball and handed the ball to Garnett.
"Ah!!h
With Garnett's iron-blooded roar, the basketball was smashed into the frame by him, and slowly Garnett fell to the ground, and Duncan next to him looked at his teammates helplessly.
It's not that Duncan doesn't want to defend this ball, but Garnett's speed is too fast, and Duncan's defense is too late, so he can only stand aside and watch Garnett roar and smash the basket.
113:112
The game continued, and Anthony, who had just lost face, was unhappy this time, and went straight to the bottom of the court when he came to the front, and then another inside cut went around the left foot to the right 45-degree angle.
Among them, Duncan looked at Anthony's running position and was also very considerate to give him a cover, and this time Anthony was empty.
"Paul! This! This! He yelled at Paul Anthony.
But in fact, Anthony will give him the ball whether he yells at Paul or not, after all, as the No. 1 point guard in the league with a big picture, how can Paul not see Anthony who runs out of the vacant position.
A through ball was passed directly to Anthony, receiving the ball, shooting, and without the slightest hesitation, Anthony shot directly.
"Huh."
The basketball goes into the net, and the three points are in hand.
116:112
Anthony happily made an OK gesture, put three fingers to his ear, and happily ran back to the backcourt, I have to say that this feeling of regaining face is good.
You must know that the two pick-and-rolls just now made Anthony miserable, obviously his ability to prevent the ball and block and dismantle is weak, but as a result, Garnett also came to block and dismantle twice! Don't people have fun playing here?
The ball was exchanged, the East re-attacked, Rondo passed through the midfield and handed the ball to Pierce, Pierce singled into the inside, and then handed a fake shot to Ray Allen, who shook Hayward and adjusted his position to shoot.
"Huh."
Just now Anthony's three-point advantage was tied again, Hayward looked at Ray Allen and stretched out a hand to blame himself, admitting his mistake.
Here, Xiao Yan wishes everyone a fast New Year's Day, hehe.
