"Huh。。。。。。" With the success of Kevin Garnett's jump ball, the Celtics got their first chance to attack, but when Rajon Rondo advanced through the half court with the ball, the audience at the scene found that the Pacers did not arrange a player to defend Rajon Rondor at all, Tony Allen, who was supposed to be opposite Rajon Ronddo, is now following Ray Allen, Meng Xu, who played the No. 2 position in this game, was entangled with Paul Pearce, and James Posey was standing alone below the free throw line, It's a little over three meters away from Rajan-Rondo.

"Rick's defensive set-up is really bold." Reggie Miller, who also saw this scene, was also surprised by Rick Carlisle's bold tactical arrangement, although the Celtics' guard did not shoot well, but in all fairness, if Reggie Miller was the head coach of a team, Reggie Miller would not have made such a bold arrangement anyway.

Although Reggie Miller is now a signed commentator for TNT, in addition to the work of a commentator, Reggie Miller often asks Larry Bird for advice on how to coach a team, if he has the opportunity, Reggie Miller also wants to try to coach an NBA team, plus a 17-year career, in Larry Brown, Larry Bird and other famous coaches around the ears, so Reggie Miller's tactical literacy is still very good, and the more so, the more Reggie Miller admires Rick Carlisle, Because if you are in a different place, you will definitely choose a more secure tactic in such a crucial game, and you will not be as risky as Rick Carlisle.

"Now the pressure is all on Rajon Rondo, if he doesn't dare to shoot or misses the shot when no one is guarded, then the Pacers will inevitably be more unscrupulous in the next game."

Before the start of the game, the head coach's tactical requirement for him was to give the basketball to Kevin Garnett as much as possible, and if he encountered the right opportunity, he could also shoot, and it was obviously a suitable opportunity in front of him, and the nearest defender was still three meters away, so this was an excellent opportunity to shoot, but mid-to-long range shooting, especially Rajon Rondo, who had a miserable three-point shooting rate, was really afraid to shoot outside the three-point line. As a guard, Rajon Rondo only made 19 three-pointers in the regular season this season, hitting only 5 of them, shooting only 26%, and after the fierce playoffs, Rajon Rondo's three-point shooting rate dropped to only 20%, which is still in the absence of most of Rondo's shots, so although this is a great opportunity, Rajon Rondo still hesitated for a long time.

"Hey!" Seeing Rajon Rondo standing there submissively, Doug Rivers standing on the sidelines was already scratching his head anxiously at the moment, in this case, the most feared thing was hesitation, but Doug Rivers couldn't remind Rajon Rondo, because that would only put pressure on him.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry and hated Rajan Rondo, after hesitating for a few seconds, he still threw the basketball in his hand, and the basketball thrown by Rajan Rondo unexpectedly hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Darko Milicic, who grabbed the rebound, passed the basketball directly to James Posey near the free throw line, and the Pacers blew the horn of the counterattack.

Like the strategy against the Cavaliers in the last round, the defensive tactics arranged by Doug Rivers on the defensive end in today's game are still man-to-man defense, because of Kevin Garnett's excellent defensive ability and enough to cover the three-point line, so the Celtics are not afraid of leaking people on the defensive end, and it is precisely by relying on the almost ubiquitous ability to help the defense that Kevin Garnett alone supported the Celtics' defensive system, and was also crowned the best defensive player this season.

It is also based on Kevin Garnett's excellent defensive ability that the Celtics did not arrange the defense of Meng Xu's bag today, but let Paul Pierce take on the heavy responsibility of defending Meng Xu alone, so Meng Xu's side, except for Paul Pierce, there is no Celtics' assistant defense player now.

After seeing this scene, Tony Allen, who had just advanced the ball across the half court, directly handed the basketball to Meng Xu, who had reached the left side of the arc, with a long pass.

Although Pierce's defensive ability can only be considered average, but fortunately, Pierce's physical fitness is outstanding, coupled with the defensive concentration is very concentrated, and the off-ball running position is also quite good, so when Tony Allen passed the ball to Meng Xu, Meng Xu did not get rid of Pierce's defense.

Although there is still a defender next to him, this will not affect Meng Xu's offense, at the moment of receiving the ball, Meng Xu made a back turn action, and then when he turned halfway, he stopped his footsteps and stepped back to pull out the jumper.

"Meng Xu's feint just now is so beautiful, Paul Pierce was completely deceived by him!" It seems that Meng Xu's offense successfully confirmed his words before the start of the game, so after Meng Xu's three-point shot, Barkley on the commentary bench praised Meng Xu's attack over and over again, from Meng Xu's action when he received the ball, to Meng Xu's feint action to get rid of Pierce, and in the final shooting action, Barkley praised it all, and I didn't know that Barkley thought that Barkley was Meng Xu's NC honey.

"Paul, we're not players at all, so you're never going to beat me!" After stepping back and pulling out a three-point shot, Meng Xu, who fell from the air, did not forget to stimulate Paul Pierce standing in front of him, the first record in the regular season, the Eastern Conference Finals, in front of these results, Pierce seems to have been a little fluttering, especially after scoring 41 points in the tie-break with the Cavaliers and helping the Celtics defeat the Cavaliers, Pierce publicly stated that he is one of the three best players in the league, plus Pierce angrily sprayed Meng Xu's rhetoric, so Meng Xu hoped that he could calm down.

"You bastard, you XX." Meng Xu's words undoubtedly stimulated Pierce very much, so after Meng Xu's words fell, Paul Pierce immediately scolded Meng Xu angrily, if it weren't for Ray Allen behind him pulling him, Pierce would probably rush over to reason with Meng Xu.
