Chapter 173: The First Half That Actually Ended

Before Otard joined, the Celtics didn't have a single superstar on their team, and the whole team twisted into a rope to storm the playoffs for the pride of the giants. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Their rebuild was far more successful than the Lakers, who were struggling with the cornerstone of the team a few years ago, but the Celtics completed the rebuild, playing the most united basketball with a bunch of humble sappers and repeatedly breaking into the playoffs.

However, when your team doesn't have a player who can kill the game at a critical moment, you will be in a passive position when you encounter a team with such a player.

Fighting to the end with the opposing star relying on their individual ability to solve the game and making your entire effort go to waste, was a common occurrence two years ago. After Otard joined, the Celtics underwent a qualitative change, and they began to tear down their original starters and actively select helpers for Otard.

Before Ottard's full-fledged wings, the Celtics were essentially Otard's one-man team, although their team spirit was still strong.

Just like this round, the Kings' defense made it difficult for the Celtics to attack, and in the final ten seconds, they gave the ball to Otard to play freely.

Wang Weiyu is as nimble as a spider, with her arms wide open, not giving Otard any space. This time, it forced Otard to stop. The latter was vain and fruitless, choosing to pass back, then running to pick up the ball and standing at the top of the arc.

Dangling again, Wang Weiyu took a step back, making way for Otard to make a huge space, and the shot was ruthless, and Otard hit a three-pointer on the top of Wang Weiyu's head again.

"Otard Bryan, who scored his 22nd point of the game, is only 8 points away from the limit score W said before the game, and it seems that W is going to break his promise."

"W does overestimate his defense, and there's no denying that he's an elite defender, but Otard has legendary offensive prowess!"

"I'm 22 points, remember what you said before the game?" Otard also remembers what happened before the game. Wang Weiyu smiled bitterly, it was useless to say anything now, he neither limited Otard's scoring, nor could he make him obsessed with singles, so it could be said that he had gained nothing.

Those words probably aroused his desire to score. Wang Weiyu thought of this, "This guy's triumphant appearance is really unpleasant." "Then teach him a lesson! I support you in doing so. Merris said.

"Okay, you guys help me open up space, I'm going to attack the basket directly." Wang Weiyu said.

Seeing Otard, Wang Weiyu sighed a lot, this is undoubtedly the most difficult opponent he has ever seen to defend, with Kant's breakthrough and Toyin's shot.

Some may not think so, but Wang Weiyu has already regarded him as the league's best attacker, and his one-on-one offensive threat is even above that of Moi Cook.

"Otard, you're a little too proud." Wang Weiyu said. Otard focused on defense, and his defense was a few levels away from his offense.

Wang Weiyu's dribble looked extremely threatening. Unlike Otard, Wang Weiyu's first step is not as sharp as the former, so sometimes it is necessary to use rhythm changes and luck control skills, and when it hits people, it is the time to play the starting speed.

As a striker who is good at attacking with the ball, Wang Weiyu has his own understanding of passing people, and the pressure that each ankle can withstand is the same, when your shaking exceeds the pressure it bears, the defender will either be shaken, or will feel momentary paralysis and unable to move.

Otard felt the magic firsthand, Wang Weiyu's dribble seemed simple, but in fact the rhythm was diverse, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, unable to capture the starting point.

With a rapid change of direction in front of him, Wang Weiyu accelerated his dribbling, and there was already a gap in Otard's defense, which was enough for a ball carrier like him.

One step through the defensive area, stick to Otard and go straight to the basket. Otard couldn't stop it and paid for a foul.

"It's a pity!" didn't play two plus one, Wang Weiyu clapped his hands regretfully and walked to the free throw line, "Otard, your defense is really much worse than Simon." ā€

In Los Angeles, Simon Oliver sneezed again, "Strange, I don't have a cold, what's going on?" ā€

"Do you want to remind Otard? He's attacking a little more often. The Celtics' teaching assistant asked. Maxwell shook his head, "He's a smart kid who knows how to measure himself and doesn't need to be reminded. ā€

Otard wanted to return the ball, but Wang Weiyu followed him quickly, and if he forced his shot, he would definitely eat his hat.

At the critical moment, Otard turned around and passed the ball to his own inside player. The man's name was Antoine Chester, and he was a four-to-five swingman with an accurate mid-range shot, which was within his range.

"Huh!" The brute who was guarding him lost someone, which Herbert could not tolerate, and immediately called a timeout.

"Jing, you replace Merris, Deuul, you replace Blue!" Herbert said to Wang Weiyu: "Don't think about dragging Otard into the singles, he will pass the ball, you saw just now, once he gets into the corner, he will pass the ball!" ā€

Wang Weiyu said: "I know, I won't force him into a corner." "That's right, let him execute low-quality shots." Herbert said; "Everyone should pay attention to the people around Otard and cut him off from the others."

Remember our strengths! This was Herbert's last instruction before he came on the field. Against the Celtics, the Empire's advantage is the inside, and everyone in Jacques Arena knows that.

Merris is not on the field, and it is Jing Qi who dominates the attack. This is a very simple true/false question, and there is nothing to hesitate about.

"Ah Qi!" It was both a fulfillment of Herbert's instructions and a break, and he had a two-minute break at the start of the game, which was a lot of consumption against players like Otard.

It's not just him who is consuming, Otard is also facing such a situation. The first half was not over yet, and both men needed to distribute their fitness well because the main event was in the second half.

Jing Qi's old-fashioned face has always been a look of "don't force me to do it, if you force me to kill you again". At least in the eyes of his opponents.

"Come on! Chinese! Adonis provoked. Jing Qi put down the ball in his hand, broke through with his left hand, and started with a huge stride, Adonis couldn't believe that this person had such an amazing ability to hold the ball.

This is the characteristic of Jing Qi. Herbert asked him to play a number five position when defending, and when attacking, he didn't care even if he was a number three. Times are different, in this era, no longer blindly ask the ball to go to the low post, as long as you have the ability, you can break through from outside the three-point line.

Jing Qi's arm span is his most powerful finishing tool when attacking with the ball, and in two years, he has developed a fire-and-fire ball-holding attack that can cause opponents to foul even if he can't score.

For the opponent, that ball was simply untouchable, it was too high.

"Huh!" Jing Qi drew Adonis' blocking foul and scored a layup.

After this round, the Celtics made personnel changes, and their attacking core Otard was replaced. Seeing this scene, Herbert also replaced Wang Weiyu in the next dead ball time.

The first half wasn't over yet. But in the eyes of Herbert and Max Weil, the first half was over.

The degree of recovery of the aces of both teams will determine who has the upper hand in the second half. The game continued, but the thinking of the coaching staff had already flown to the halftime set-up. (To be continued.) )
