Chapter 376: I'll Kill You!
readx;
Jim O'Brien is a head coach anyway, and he always sees things better than he can see them clearly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although sometimes he will be confused, but since he has been in contact with Zhang Kong a lot, he will always have some ghost ideas in his head, just like now, the Celtics team is not without young people, but their real offensive core depends on those four old guys, Kevin Garnech, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rasheed Wallace, if it was ten years ago, not five years ago, put the four guys together, then there is nothing to say, the Celtics must be divided...... Because five years ago, these guys weren't fuel-efficient lamps, and it was impossible not to do it because of the ball problem.
But now that they are together, they still burst out with strong combat effectiveness, all the way to the Eastern Conference finals, this is not like an elderly team to do, in the playoffs, they have experience, tenacity, wisdom, will not panic, and can also affect others when playing, this is the most important role of veterans on the court, but their shortcomings are also obvious, the three main players, Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen, the three are more than 100 years old.
In such a situation, even if they burst out in a short period of time, with a strong defense and an invincible attack, but what about a long time? In fact, Doug Rivers also understands this, he is just betting that the Pacers will be scared by this explosive force! As long as the Pacers are scared, then they can also use the bench to take out the Pacers, no problem at all.
However, his wishful thinking is destined to fail, because Jim O'Brien has also made a surname play.
Aggro! The Pacers have played a lot of games of running and bombing, and now they are probably familiar with it, anyway, playing and running or playing positions is calculated by Zhang Kong, and the defense originally couldn't prevent the opponent, and now the Pacers have completely given up defense.
Murphy played center, Granger rose to the position of power forward, small forward was replaced by Dunleavy, scoring was played by Zhang Kong, and point guard let Watson play, but Watson, the point guard, did the most to take the ball through the half court.
It is also very important to let Deng Tai Jones go off the court and let Zhang Kong defend the second position, because now the Pacers are not afraid of the opponent to score two points, they are afraid of the opponent to play three points, and the opponent's three-point shooter is naturally the biggest threat to Ray Allen, and Zhang Kong is here to defend him! With the end of the timeout, the new Pacers came to the court, and when they returned to the first offense on the court, the Pacers gave the Celtics a dismount, Watson dribbled the ball past half court and found Zhang Kong directly, Zhang Kong received the ball and broke through directly to the inside, Perkins on the inside immediately came to block, and Zhang Kong directly turned the ball to the outside.
Murphy received the ball for the first time, Garnett came over to make up for the defense, and Murphy simply turned the ball and transferred it to Granger's hands, Granger also had Pierce watching the defense, Granger turned again, and it was transferred to Dunleavy's hands, I have to say that the Celtics' contraction and rotation defense is really very domineering, Dunleavy was in the moment of receiving the ball, and Ray Allen also appeared here.
Dunleavy handed the ball to Watson, who had Rondo in front of him, but they still missed a man! Zhang Kong.
After passing the ball on the inside, Zhang Kong had already run to the outside, and Watson passed the ball directly, and Zhang Kong's position was vacant! After Zhang Kong received the ball, he took a deep breath, he still had time to adjust it, such a vacant shot is not counted in his own hit rate, Zhang Kong's vacant shot hit rate is definitely higher than 7 percent, Zhang Kong took a deep breath, and then jumped high, just when Garnett couldn't defend, he threw the basketball high, and the basketball drew an arc in the air.
Then it went straight into the basket, a three-pointer, and the Pacers just came on the court and made a three-pointer, pulling the score back away.
And after watching Zhang Kong hit, Doug Rivers's face was not very good-looking, because at this time, the original interior defensive titan Perkins has completely become an ornament at this time, although Murphy is a player, although he is said to be an inside line, he is actually an outside line.
He definitely took more shots from the outside than he did with the basket from the inside.
Perkins couldn't play at all in the face of such a player, so after thinking about it, Doug Rivers decided to make a substitution and put Rashid Wallace on the court, although this player is not young and his defense is not too good, but he can at least follow it, in a sense, Rashid Wallace and Murphy are almost the same type of players.
The only difference is that Wallace's reputation is much greater than Murphy's, after Wallace came to the court, he originally thought that the Pacers' side was still a five-man outside play, but Zhang Kong's style of play changed, and he changed again, from the outside of the guide to the vacancy.
has become a straight drill to the inner line, especially Zhang Kong, there was Perkins in the inner line, he was still afraid, but now there is only one Wallace in the inner line, he is not afraid, after all, the tonnage is there, and Zhang Kong's power is not vegetarian.
Wallace doesn't look like a power-type inside line, so Zhang Kong is like a warrior holding a ** bag, impacting the inside line again and again, and Wallace and Garnett don't have many ways to face Zhang Kong's impact.
Because it's not just him who is impacting, but Granger next to him is also impacting, even if Garnett can defend five positions, but he still plays power forward after all, and in the face of a more dexterous small forward like Granger, he still suffers a little bit in terms of speed.
In addition, Granger's strongest is projection, which also turns the entire Celtic defense line upside down, although the shooting rate is not high, but it has successfully played the effect of containing the opponent, and Zhang Kong used a few small tricks to make the rhythm of the Celtics follow the Pacers faster, that is, a simple offensive and defensive counterattack, now Zhang Kong's side is mainly defending the outside line of the Celtics, the outside line does not go in, and after grabbing the rebound on the inside, Zhang Kong will directly attack quickly, regardless of whether he enters or not, he plays extremely fast.
And it's good to get in here, if you don't get in, then the Celtics will have a chance to break fast, and the players face the opportunity to break fast, just like a cat sees a fish and a dog sees a bone, and it is impossible to let it go, and there is really no one who can resist the temptation of fast attack, even if the Celtics let go once, let go of the second time, and they can't help it in the third time.
This side plays fast attack, and that side also plays fast attack, two fast, and the rhythm on the field is getting faster and faster! The time is short, the Celtics are still holding on, although it takes a long time, this shot begins to deform, and it is more in, and the Pacers have Zhang Kong on this guy, not that he said that the distribution of the ball is very reasonable, and Rondo over there is no worse than him in this regard.
But Zhang Kong's side can be the main attack, reducing the consumption of other players, as for the Celtics' Rondo does not have this ability, this is also the most inferior point between Rondo and Zhang Kong, even if Rondo does a fake move, no matter how much it is difficult to get rid of the image of the floor flow, and Zhang Kong Although it is not a cosmic sky flow now, at least he can fly a short distance.
Watching the pace on the court getting faster and faster, Doug Rivers on the sidelines was also very anxious, and finally survived to the end of the third quarter, the players on the Celtics' side were tired, but the score did not pull away, the Celtics trailed the Pacers 82-79 by three points into the final quarter, at the beginning of the final quarter, the Celtics replaced the remaining three people except Pierce, leaving only Pierce and Wallace on the court, and the remaining three were substitutes, Tony Allen, Nate Robinson and Glenn Davis were supposed to play on the bench at this time, but the Pacers didn't play by the rules.
This time, they actually sent a full set of main lineups, center Hibbert, power forward Murphy, small forward Granger, scoring guard Dundee Jones, point guard Zhang Kong, but defensively, Dundee Jones faced Pierce.
After all, Pierce is now the core player of the Celtics on the court, and Pierce's three-point shooting is obviously not as dangerous as Ray Allen.
Pierce is more capable of floor flow, and Dundee Jones is still quite confident in floor flow!
And Nate Robinson, who originally wanted to come up and impact the opponent's bench group, made Zhang Kong completely die.
Zhang Kong has physical strength today, after all, he didn't play most of the time in the first half, and his physical strength made him play for 24 minutes in the second half without any problem, even if he played all 24 minutes in the second half, then Zhang Kong's playing time today is only 30 minutes, much less than the usual time, so Zhang Kong doesn't care about his physical strength at all.
In the face of Nate Robinson, as long as you dare to break through, I will be willing to cover! And then also to fight your counterattack!
The original 3-point gap was tied after two rounds, which is still to say that Hibbert's free throw missed one shot.
In the third round, the Pacers overtook it, and two minutes before the fourth quarter of the game, it became a paradise for the Pacers.
Under such a matchup, the Celtics' bench group collapsed at the first time, but Doug Rivers did not dare to replace his main team on the court, they had just rested for a minute, and let the main team play at this time, the result was ...... The Celtics' benches, offense, and play against the Pacers' defense, defense, and can't withstand the empty breakthrough and the Pacers' three-point line, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Celtics' restricted area completely became a paradise for the Pacers.
Round after round of offense, round after round of strict defense, so that the entire Celtics could not find any sense of rhythm.
Nate Robinson, who was originally used to impact the Pacers, was honest after being blocked by Zhang Kong for two, and now Zhang Kong has 7 blocks, four of which were contributed by Nate Robinson, and now the Celtics ...... It's dangerous......
