"Almost flipped by the Celtics."

At the end of the game, Qiao Hai's face was full of palpitations, and the scoreboard above his head showed that the score of the game was 115:107, and the Bobcats finally won by 8 points, a somewhat dangerous winning score.

Qiao Hai has done his best to set up the defense against Paul Pierce, but Pierce, who was in excellent form in this game, still shot 11-of-20 and got a statistic of 32 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Ricky Davis also had 20 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, as well as Al Jefferson, who also contributed 19 points and 10 rebounds in this game.

On the Bobcats' side, Michael Reed still scored a game-high 25 points, Chris Paul had 21 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, and Josh Smith had 12 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

Starting Gerald Wallace, who also had 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Add to that Andre Iguodala's 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, and Danny Granger's 11 points and 3 rebounds.

The Bobcats were another six-man double-double, and it was another all-for-all victory.

……

"That's right, you're right, in three games, although we all won, our defense is not at its best, the first game we gave LeBron James 46 points, the second game we gave Allen Iverson 29 points, this game, we gave Paul Pierce 32 points."

Qiao Hai had a Ma Huateng "yes, yes, you earned it" expression, with a helpless face.

This group of media reporters who have no level to speak of do not know that the characteristics of the Bobcats' infinite defensive change tactics are like this, once the opponent has an absolute strong point, the opponent will easily take advantage of this strong point and break through the Bobcats' defense one-on-one.

But Bobcats' infinite change of defense will prevent other players outside of the strong point.

In the first two games, the Bobcats allowed James and Iverson to score and killed their teammates, and this set of infinite rotation played the effect that Qiao Hai wanted to see.

But in this game, even Qiao Hai didn't expect that Doug Rivers would play singles in the low post and high post, and he was really beaten by the Celtics with Ricky Davis and Al Jefferson, two additional strong points.

The Bobcats also almost lost the game.

But Qiao Hai still believes that the Bobcats' defense is fine, and perhaps the only problem is that they haven't done a good job of defending the low post.

It's true that Qiao Hai's defense of the low post is a bit simple and rough, and he always uses Perkins with a solid chassis to swap for the opponent's low post singles.

At one time, the effect was good, but once the opponent added some changes, the effect of this defense was very poor.

But Qiao Hai can't do anything, in a one-on-one situation, several of the Bobcats' forward defense in the low post are very average, because they are running and jumping, and the strength confrontation is not superior, especially against Paul Pierce in this game.

That's why Johi started with Gerard Wallace against Pierce.

……

Although the outside world thinks that the Bobcats' defense is not very good, three consecutive wins are three consecutive wins, and the Bobcats are in excellent form at the beginning of the game, and they have jumped to the first place in the East in one wave.

In the next game, they faced the Jazz.

Because of the characteristics of Deron Williams eating and sleeping to play Paul, Qiao Hai attaches great importance to this game, and he is even ready to replace Paul with Mo Williams or Jared Jack immediately if Paul is beaten by Delon .

But as it turned out, Paul blew up Delon!

At the beginning of the first quarter, Chris Paul hit two singles in a row, and then was blocked by Delon's aggressive defense, missing both shots.

Then Paul changed his style of play and he started passing.

Keep breaking, keep attracting the defence, and then keep passing.

In the first quarter, Paul passed a 4-point and 3-assist pass, and the Bobcats' offense was organized by Paul extremely fluidly.

And Delon was in a bad state, shooting 0 of 4 in the first quarter, 0 points and 0 assists, the offensive end was like a fly without a head, and only the restrictions on Paul on the defensive end were worth mentioning.

The two teams played a defensive battle for the first quarter, and with a score of 22:19, the Bobcats led by 3 points.

In the second quarter, Paul continued to pass the ball to organize the offense, and his personal desire to score was still extremely low, he passed 6 assists in a single quarter, and the Bobcats beat the Jazz 27-23 in a single quarter.

By the end of the half, the Bobcats' lead had reached seven points.

In the half, Paul had 7 points and 9 assists, and Delon's hand recovered slightly, but in the half, his statistics were only 6 points and no assists.

The Bobcats' infinite change of defense limited Delon's organizational offense to a certain extent, and the Jazz's pick-and-roll offense became a one-on-one offense after the infinite pick-and-roll cover, and it is understandable that Delon did not assist.

In the second half, Paul continued to pass the ball and put most of his energy into the defensive end.

In the third quarter, Jerry Sloan also made an effective adjustment, as the Jazz began to block pick-and-rolls from mid-range on the left and right flanks, and then created misplaced singles opportunities for Boozer, who increased the number of his face-frame singles.

Soon, the Jazz's offense picked up.

In this quarter, the Bobcats' offense was not bad, and the two sides almost tied each other, and after three quarters, the Bobcats had a lead of 6 points left.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Qiao Hai replaced a future basketball combination, with the 1.91-meter-tall Jared Jack as the point guard, and the other four were four forwards, Andre Iguodala, Gerard Wallace, Danny Granger and Josh Smith.

The Bobcats began to pick up the pace, not only on the offensive end, but more importantly on the defensive end.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bobcats' defense improved all of a sudden, with five small ones running back and forth, all kinds of supplementary defenses, and the Jazz's offense was a mess, and there were no points in five or six offensive rounds in a row.

The Bobcats' offense was also mediocre, but they kept hitting the interior and got a couple of easy scoring opportunities.

The Bobcats also seized the opportunity, playing a wave of 8:0 in the opening game, and the difference was directly stretched to 14 points.

"The Bobcats played a phenomenal defense, their defensive intensity suddenly increased, and the Jazz couldn't find the crosshairs on the offensive end at all, and they missed several shots in a row, and the score was already open."

With eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, Jerry Sloan crossed his arms to his chest and replaced Matt Hardlin with Boozer removed, which was a bit of a counterpoint substitution.

Now, the Jazz's lineup on the court has changed to point guard Deron Williams, scoring guard Gordon Gillishk, small forward Matt Haplin, power forward Andrei Kirilenko, and center Memetoku.

A lineup of one big and four small, the Jazz also rushed with the Bobcats.

But with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Bobcats still maintained a 10-point lead, and the Jazz still had a theoretical chance to turn the game around.

So, at this time, Jerry Sloan suddenly made another substitution, replacing Boozer, who had rested for three minutes.

"Jerry, this guy, he's going to fight hard." Qiao Hai smiled, changing to other coaches, they may have given up after falling behind by 10 points in the last 5 minutes, but Jerry Sloan just wants to fight with Qiao Hai.

Qiao Hai thought about it for a while, and also called a few players from the bench: "Kendrick, Chris (Paul), you guys go up, replace Danny (Granger) and Morris (Williams)!" ”

With two substitutions, the Bobcats' lineup also became a regular lineup, and Chris Paul began to suppress the rhythm according to Qiao Hai's request.

As a result, the Jazz's counterattack was blocked by the Bobcats, and in the end, the Bobcats won the game 106-95.
