Chapter 296: Slump

How could the Spurs let go of such an opportunity, the ball came to Thunder Water, and Thunder Shui directly pulled out a jumper and missed.

Old man Bobo shook his head when he saw it, in his opinion, such a big height gap should be hit in again.

However, the Celtics also hit the iron, the Spurs attacked, when Lei Shui ran to the frontcourt, the old man Bobo reminded Lei Shui to play inside, and Lei Shui began to ask for a position inside, although Bradley was also extremely entangled, but after all, the size disadvantage was too great, so he was still asked by Lei Shui to get the ball.

Brad used his strength to resist Lei Shui's waist, Lei Shui dribbled and turned over one step to compare, and Bradley flew away, a forward probe step, and picked up the basket with a low hand, Horford rushed over to make up for the defense, jumped up hard, only to hear the sound of 'bang', Horford sealed the ball with his fingertips, the ball lost its forward force and fell straight down, Lei Shui hurriedly grabbed it, Horford flicked it smartly, and dialed the ball to Bradley's hand.

The Celtics immediately counterattacked, Thomas controlled the ball in the middle and went down, and the rest of the people quickly found a good line, Thomas burst to the basket, turned around and passed, to Bradley, Bradley was one step ahead of Lei Shui, and Lei Shui was still two steps away when he received the ball.

Bradley jumps and shoots, Lei Shui struggles to jump and block, Bradley finds that Lei Shui flew over to block after jumping, and observes that Lei Shui's jump height is likely to interfere with himself, and the shooting idea of changing in the air, the body turns and passes the ball to Horford, who just followed him, Lei Shui jumped in the sprint, so he rushed farther after jumping, and turned around after landing to see, Bradley had moved to the upper line, and quickly turned around to chase, at this time Horford handed the ball back to Bradley, and by the way gave him a cover, Blocking the thunder water, Gasol had received the basket and was ready to grab the rebound because of Bradley's shooting action just now, and he couldn't prevent it for a while, and Bradley was in a completely empty position and hit a jumper.

Lei Shui's attack was covered this time, and it was also beaten into a counterattack, a little depressed, and he turned around to eat Bradley again, this time Lei Shui asked for the ball again, Johnson came over to wrap it, and it was a little troublesome to see Lei Shui catch the ball, Parker gave up this side and gave the ball to Ade, who hit it from a mid-range.

The two teams each scored, and the score has been equal, but the Celtics' three-point shot opened first, and Bradley is also a player who does not hesitate to run, and it is Horford's cover that gives Bradley a three-point chance and hits.

Immediately after the Spurs missed, the Celtics counterattacked, and Thomas assisted Crowder to chase a three-point shot.

Horford stole Gasol and made a layup to make it 2+1, a wave of 9-0, and stopped the Spurs.

Old man Bobo re-emphasized the defense and asked for a lower pace of the game.

After the timeout, although Parker tried to slow down the tempo, Thomas tried his best to play fast, and several bursts created good scoring opportunities for his teammates.

And the Spurs didn't lower the opponent's rhythm, but lowered their own rhythm, positional battle, after Lei Shui missed another jump shot, he felt bad, so he stopped attacking, and the Spurs relied on Leonard and Parker's personal ability to score.

The Celtics had a better flow of the game than the Spurs, so they also scored efficiently, and soon gained a 14-point advantage.

This annoyed the old man Bobo, and replaced all the substitutes in advance, and through active cooperation, the scoring offensive fluency came up, Mills and David Lee cooperated well, scoring consecutive points, chasing the difference to 10 points.

The Celtics held the 10-point deficit until the end of the first quarter.

Old man Bobo has been trying to find a way to solve the defensive problem, seeing the performance of the substitute, he understands that speed is the key, although the inside twin towers have a height advantage, but the effect is not obvious, and the defense fast attack has suffered a big loss, so the faster inside line should be used.

However, Thunder Water's performance made Bobo very dissatisfied, Bradley who defended him today was a lot shorter than him, but Thunder Water only got 1 rebound in the first quarter, and all other statistics were 0, shooting 0 of 3, and was capped by Horford, and his state was obviously not good.

Old man Bobo stepped forward and asked, "Is there a problem today?" ”

Lei Shui shook his head: "No problem, it's just that it doesn't feel good to shoot." "In fact, although Lei Shui has only been playing for most of the time, he already feels a little tired.

On the court, the Celtics' bench lineup is also good, at the beginning of the second quarter, Iron Egg Smart, strong attack, Olynyk and Brown also hit empty positions, and the point difference began to widen again.

Old man Bobo hurriedly sent Leonard to the court, and Leonard lived up to his promise and scored 7 points in a row with a sudden shot, and completed 1 steal, closing the gap to 7 points.

"Thunder!" At this time, Lei Shui suddenly heard someone shouting himself, here, calling his name in Chinese, it must be Lu Yu coming, looking back, sure enough, Lu Shi and Lu Yu were in the seats not far behind him, looking like they had just arrived from the airport.

Lei Shui smiled and beckoned, but Lu Shi pointed to the score and spread his hands, the meaning was obvious, he was not in a good state today?

Lei Shui shook his head, and Lu Shi stopped asking and chatted with Lu Yu.

"Ray! Get ready to play! Old man Bobo said.

Before going on the court, the old man Bobo said to Lei Shui: "You can play closer to the basket." ”

Lei Shui nodded, when there is no shooting feeling, approaching the basket to attack is the best choice.

After the rotation, the lineup on the court is Ade, Bertans, Leonard, Simmons, and Thunderwater.

Overall flexibility has increased, but there are still gaps in individual locations.

Thunderwater plays point guard or Bradley defends, and Simmons plays opposite Thomas.

Simmons is in better physical condition than Parker defensively, but it is not easy to defend Thomas, especially Thomas's speed is quite fast, and due to his short height, he is more flexible in starting and stopping, changing directions, etc., and it is also a very physical and energetic thing to keep up all the time.

Because Leonard scored strongly, the Celtics shifted their defensive focus to Leonard, and opportunities in other positions appeared.

Because in recent times, Lei Shui has become an important scoring point for the team, so Leonard points the ball, if the others are not big empty opportunities, or try to give the ball to Lei Shui, Lei Shui chose to attack closer to the basket, but still can't score, every time it's always a little worse, several offenses only fight to 1 chance to go to the free throw line, 1 of 2, get 1 point.

The Celtics seized the opportunity to stretch the margin to 10 points and forced Old Man Bobo to call a timeout.

During the pause, the old man Bobo first asked Lei Shui: "What's the matter!?" Can't put a ball close at hand? Do you have a problem somewhere!? ”

Lei Shui said listlessly: "It's a little... Tired. ”

"Okay, Tony! You're on! Old man Bobo was obviously a little upset.
