Chapter Ninety-Eight: Against the Celtics IV

readx; Trailing by five points in the first half is not a big difference, but it is already a big deal for Celtics head coach Doc Rivers, and it makes him feel very angry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At halftime, everyone in the Celtic dressing room looked at their head coach with frustration and apprehension. They are ready to be scolded by the manager. After all, they trailed the Cavaliers by five points at halftime, although the difference was not big, but they did not complete the task given to them by the coach before the game, and it seems that the coach's scolding is indispensable. That's what all the players are saying.

"Sure enough," they thought to themselves as soon as Coach Rivers was about to speak.

Rivers looked at them coldly and scolded angrily, "What are you doing in the second quarter? Where did the defense go in the first quarter? Can anyone tell me what you guys are playing in the second quarter? Since the opponent got forty points, is this still our Celtic defense? The opponent is the Cavaliers, our biggest opponent and last opponent to step into the Finals. ”

"If you continue like this, don't defend your title, you won't even be able to step on the stage of the finals. Forty points in a single quarter, do you know what that means? It represents our defense, which is garbage in the eyes of others. In the next third verse, I don't think I need to say anything more. The defensive system, you all know it. After the end of the third quarter, I want the opponent to score less than 80 points, which is my lowest goal. ”

"Paul, Kevin, you two didn't attack decisively in the first half, Paul you only scored 12 points in the first half, and Kevin you only scored 8 points. In the second half I need you to step up your individual attacks. Rondo, you pay more attention to Kevin and Paul when you organize the team, and Ray Allen is responsible for running on the outside. And Perkins, you're in charge of covering and grabbing rebounds, and it's up to you whether the team can pull the difference back in the third quarter. ”

"I don't think I'll say anything more than that, right? If you don't want a championship, then I won't say anything more. Talking Rivers, he directly picked up the tactics board, regardless of whether his teammates were listening or not, and laid out the tactics for the next third quarter in detail. Everyone looked at Rivers' tactical arrangement seriously, it would be unwise for them to offend Rivers, and it would be a tragedy if they were pressed to the bench.

The half-time break was set up by the managers of all sides, and the time passed quickly. The first half of this game was very enjoyable for many fans, who never thought that such a basketball would be seen in the Celtics. They had the impression that Celtic's defense should be very good, but the result is clearly not like this, which makes them feel very strange. But they really like this kind of competition.

"Reggie, what kind of changes do you think the two sides will make in the third quarter?" Barkley, the narrator at the scene, looked at Reggie Miller and said. He was also very puzzled by the Celtics in the second quarter of the first half. This is not the Celtics he knew at all, and he thought it must have been a defensive battle, and the first quarter did prove his point right.

However, the second quarter of the game made his point of view a joke, and the opponent scored 40 points in a single quarter, what kind of defensive battle is such a score? Anyone with eyes will think that this is an offensive war. So now Barkley doesn't dare to make any more opinions, because he really can't understand this game.

"It's very simple, the Celtics want to keep the ball in the basket while keeping their ball in the basket. And the knight is naturally like this. We know the purpose of both teams from the beginning, as long as anyone who knows the game knows. Why do you ask that? Reggie Miller said deliberately.

He didn't understand what Barkley meant, and he couldn't see through this game either, but in his heart he thought that the Cavaliers might win this game. There is no other reason, because the other party has James and Huang Jun, who has just become a superstar. These two guys alone are enough to make the Celtics suffer a big loss, not to mention an Iverson, so he is optimistic about the Cavaliers in this game. It's just that Huang Jun once made him lose the bet, so now he doesn't want to talk too much about the knights.

Barkley gave Miller a blank look, and then fell silent. He didn't want to say anything more, God knows what else this guy would say, if he was saying something that made him vomit blood, then he would really vomit blood on the spot. So we can only turn our attention to the players on both sides who have returned to the field. He is also very much looking forward to the next game, and he is looking forward to it.

"Hey, Rajan, how miserable were you scolded by your coach at halftime?" Huang Jun held the ball and looked at Rondo in front of him and said with a smile, Rivers's loud voice, their Cavaliers' players naturally heard it in the locker room next door. So at this time, I deliberately said this, just to embarrass the player in front of me and disturb his heart.

"Get out." Rondo didn't say much, he shouted a word directly from the depths of his heart, although there was only one word, but he could know how angry Rondo was at this time. He has no opinion on being taught by his coach, but he is still heard by others, and if he hears it, he will forget it, but he will take it out and squeeze him. How could he not feel angry?

Then, as if because the anger burned too much, Rondo directly rashly wanted to steal Huang Jun's ball. Unexpectedly, at the moment when he started, Huang Jun on the opposite side had also started. He originally said this on purpose, just to make Rondo lose his cool, and the moment he lost his cool and made a move to lose his coolness, Huang Jun activated. And it's the kind of full-speed start, which directly and perfectly gives Rondo a lot.

"Hey, that idiot." Huang Jun couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and then without any hesitation, he directly came to a pull-up jump shot, originally he wanted to break through to the inside line to complete a layup or dunk. But it was too difficult to think about such a journey, since there were no defenders in front of him, and his mid-range jumper was so accurate, so it only took a moment for him to know what he should do.

"Brushed" Huang Jun's jump shot directly into the net. The first goal of the second half was completed by Huang Jun, and at the same time the score was stretched to seven points, which was also the largest difference between the two sides so far. The biggest one was when the Cavaliers led by six points midway through the second quarter, and now seven points is a small game record.

"Snap" Pierce slapped the ball in the half, followed by an acceleration, but then saw James post it up. Pierce was a decisive, clever guy who used back-to-back singles. And James can only stick to Pierce's back, is this a back mountain? Prefer to stick to the back? Of course, this was not the case, and Pierce followed up with a close and then a sharp pull back to get rid of James' close defense.

Then Pierce threw the basketball in his hand under James's gaze, and when he threw the ball, Pierce's body was still slightly leaning back. Apparently it was one of Pierce's stunts, a back-to-back single-back jumper. Although it is not as powerful as the comparable step-back jumper, it is obviously not so simple to be Pierce's stunt, at least in terms of shooting percentage is still guaranteed.

"Brushing" Pierce's ball is considered to be a tribute to Huang Jun's ball just now.

Huang Jun quickly dribbled through the half, without waiting for his teammates to do it himself, it was just an acceleration, and then acceleration, I don't know how much horsepower was added, and went directly to the inside line. And Ray Allen and Rondo are already waiting for Huang Jun's arrival on the inside at this time. The two of them were the first to get back to the defense after Pierce hit that jumper.

"Two people just want to stop my attack?" Looking at the formation in front of him, Huang Jun seemed a little disdainful, and then accelerated again. I don't know if this is the first time he's accelerated. Rondo and Ray Allen in front of them glanced at each other, and then understood the defensive strategy. The two of them quickly formed a net-like trend, just waiting for Huang Jun to come in, and then the two of them waited to close the net.

It's just that this net is also divided into levels, can ordinary nets catch ferocious sharks? So their defensive strategy is doomed to fail. Huang Jun, who killed the two of them, didn't think about anything, just jumped up in the two of them, and at the same time threw the basketball in his hand towards the basket, brushing, dripping. The ball hit, and he also got a penalty shot.

Huang Jun, who was standing at the free throw line, threw the basketball in his hand steadily without changing his face, brushed, and the score difference came to eight points. At the beginning of the second half, Huang Jun obviously increased his attack. And Huang Jun's meaning is also to start playing from his own attack, and then think about sharing the ball or something in the middle of the game. Because only when a threat is established, the opportunities of teammates will gradually be revealed, if there is no threat, who will easily cover you?

"This kid's offensive ability is so good, I don't know how to defend next. If you can't do a good job in the next defense, then you will be scolded by the coach again when you will pause. Rondo, who was slowly advancing towards the half with the ball, kept thinking in his heart. In just a few tens of seconds, the opponent hit two balls in a row, and at the same time one was a free throw, a five-point shot, which defense is changed to which coach, which coach will be dissatisfied, let alone Rivers.

At half-time, Rondo took his mind back, and the next most important thing was how to complete the attack on his side and close the score difference. Rondo, who was constantly directing the team, suddenly had a light eye, and moved the basketball in his hand to the side, only to see a bald head running successfully back, and when the ball reached this position, he successfully caught the basketball in action with both hands. Then he jumped up quickly and shot a three-pointer without any aiming.

The bald head of "brushing" is naturally Lei Allen, and a three-point is also a tribute to Huang Jun's two plus one just now.
