Chapter 183: The Power of the Big Three
The Celtics have formed a big three, plus Parkinson and West, to form the starting five. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info bench also includes defensive stalwart Tony Allen and three-point shooter James Posey, plus Eddie House, Glenn Davis, and Leon Bowway to form the current basic lineup.
The two strongest lineups in the East and West met together, and it could have been a close battle. However, before the game, Carman caught a cold due to the weather, and as a result, both Ryan Gomez and Capono were infected, and the three went to the hospital.
Portland's proximity to the sea, and the sudden cooling of the weather caused by snowfall in the previous two days, caused this cold. The team doctor hurriedly sent the three to the hospital, and they could not be counted on for at least a few games.
Old Dunleavy is also very distressed, he can only play two games with the Celtics in a season, three are sick in one game, and they are all main and main rotation players, how can this make him not anxious!
But the game still has to go on, without Kaman, Brera Xia is the starter, although Brera Xia is old, but it is still okay to start a game, it is really not good, and Milicic and Noah are on top.
The inside line is worse than the Celtics, the outside line must be stronger, Artest and Pierce are about the same, Pierce attacks better, Artest defends better.
And Liu Su and Lei Allen are very easy, Lei Allen himself is not confident that he is stronger than Liu Su, he can't defend Liu Su, but Liu Su can defend him.
La Jondo and West also have an advantage, in the original history, La Jonon Rondo squeezed West away, and this season successfully became a starter. Now that the two are in position, it must be interesting as well.
The game was intense at the beginning, because Pierce and Ray Allen were limited by Artest and Liu Su, so the Celtics played Garnett in the early stage.
Garnett was too easy to play David Lee, last season he was able to play David Lee and Carman, and now he is only one David Lee, it's too easy.
As a result, two minutes later, Dunleavy Sr. replaced David Lee with Milicic. The reason why he didn't fight back against Noah was because Noah was still a rookie and was afraid that he would fall into Garnett's way.
After Milicic went up, he did a good job, at least Garnett couldn't score so easily.
On the offensive side, Liu Su kept breaking through Lei Allen, and Lei Allen's speed was barely able to keep up with Liu Su, but his strength was not enough, so he was easily broken out by Liu Su.
Pierce and Ray Allen switched defenses, he went to defend Liu Su, and asked Pierce to defend Artest. Compared with Artest, Liu Su is the focus. Liu Su barely broke through Pierce twice, but it was very difficult to play, so he handed the ball to Rajon Rondo to deal with it to see if Rajon Rondo could easily single West.
Rajon Rondo's counterpoint West is not so simple, he can break through, but what happens after the breakthrough? Garnett's defense was strong, and Rajon Rondo was packed with West as soon as he entered, and Rajon Rondo almost made a mistake when he passed the ball.
Liu Su saw that it couldn't be done, and took over the ball again, although Pierce defended very well, but Liu Su could block and dismantle. The reason why he is reluctant to play the pick-and-roll is because the block-and-roll is not as effective as the singles.
However, the singles couldn't be played, so Liu Su immediately looked for Milicic to block and dismantle. Milicic blocked Pierce, and Liu Su immediately went inside and faced Garnett.
Garnett looked at Liu Su solemnly, always paying attention to his every move. Liu Su didn't stop for a moment, directly inserted Garnett's right side, and then slightly sideways to protect the ball. Garnett followed the defense, Liu Su turned sideways, and threw away Garnett, the distance between the two widened two meters, and Liu Su immediately jumped up and shot. Garnett pounced and wanted to block, but Liu Su leaned back slightly, dodged Garnett's hand, and hit the shot.
Liu Su wiped the bottom of his nose, and then ran back, and the ball began to be easy again.
Coming back, Garnett started playing Milicic alone, and he could beat all of the Clippers' interior players on his own. With Garnett turning the tide on the inside, the Celtics were basically revitalized.
Garnett scored 18 points in a single quarter, and in order to limit Garnett, Dunleavy Sr. replaced Noah, pushed Milicic to the No. 5 position, and then asked Artest to take care of the No. 4 position more.
Liu Su went off the court first and went on Rose to defend Ray Allen. Ross is a bit of a struggle, but he can still give him a lot of limitations.
After Liu Su got off the field, Rajon Rondo also got off the field and was replaced by Kassel, who was still young and still played well in the face of Tony Allen.
Pierce was also replaced to rest, and was replaced by Posey. After Posey came up, the Clippers' defense was a little more relaxed. Artest and Noah switch defenses, Artest defends Garnett, and Noah defends the perimeter.
In the sixth minute, Liu Su was replaced from the new field, replacing Artest, and David Lee replaced Milicic and went up to the fifth position. Celtic also came on with Pierce, replacing Garnett and Ray Allen.
Liu Su pushed to the third position and relaxed Pierce. Now that the Clippers are trailing by seven points, Dunleavy Sr. is trying to use his scoring ability to chase the score back.
The scores of the two teams were deadlocked in the first quarter, and it was only in the second quarter that they were pulled apart. Now the field is basically a duel between Liu Su and Pierce, both of them are all-round players, and now they are both playing organizational strikers, and they have to fight for the skills of the two.
Pierce's strength is stronger than Liu Su, Liu Su's speed is faster than Pierce, the two have their own advantages, and the player configuration is also very good, it seems that they are evenly matched.
It's not the first duel between the two, when Liu Su just entered the NBA, when Marion was injured, Liu Su used to play the No. 3 position. However, Liu Su was only 191 cm tall at that time, and now Liu Su is 197 cm.
However, Liu Su's David Lee's cooperation is very good, and he is very skilled in blocking and dismantling. However, due to Pierce's defense, David Lee did not get a pass from Liu Su.
On the contrary, Noah got the opportunity, in order to prevent one person from being unable to defend Liu Su, the two inside chose to wrap the bag and empty Noah, they didn't dare to make Liu Su feel better, otherwise it would be difficult for them to win.
The score was caught up little by little, and I tried hard to pull the score away, but I failed.
Two seconds before the break, Liu Su scored a two-point shot to officially reverse the score and enter the second half with a two-point advantage.
After returning to the locker room, Liu Su gasped and sat on the chair. This game is really tiring, after the start of this season, Liu Su is the first time to encounter such a tired game, the previous teams have basically surrendered less than half of the fourth quarter, it seems that this game will be played until the end.
Although the Big Three are still in their prime, their peak is only one or two years old, so they are quite persistent in the championship, and they are basically working hard to play.
