"Rookie, did a good job in the first half, and then play like this! Although the defense is not good, the basketball court is all about who scores more points! ”

Because the situation is still under control, Kobe Bryant did not criticize his younger brother's defense too harshly, and the boss thinks that it is not easy for Li Chen to have this performance today, after all, Pierce and Ray Allen standing in front of him are both long-established superstars in the league.

"Well, I'll do my best!" Unlike Kobe, Li Chen didn't feel how good he was, and his performance of 12 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds in the half was not enough to make up for his huge mistakes on the defensive end.

"I could have done better!" Li Chen said to himself secretly.

The third quarter of the game was as difficult as imagined, the two teams played inseparably, the Celtics side with the tacit cooperation of the Big Three played more and more bravely, and the Lakers with their smooth offensive system pressed step by step, the spectators in the stands watched one by one, and today's game seemed to them to be exciting enough.

"This is the Christmas game I want, there is a topic, there is strength, there is a confrontation between superstars, there is also a competition between new and old players, from the first half, this game is already a successful game, I just hope that after the break, they can still give the audience a wonderful second half."

There's no reason why the league boss should miss today's game, and he's very happy with his current situation. According to statistics, the Purple and Gold and Green Shirts have reached a staggering 7.1 ratings in the United States, which is the highest regular season rating since the OK Combination Christmas Game set a 7.3 rating in 2004, and a full 37 percent increase from last year's Christmas Games.

And the news from elsewhere seems to be better than before. With such a good response, it is no wonder that David Stern did not forget to make a generous speech in the VIP box while watching the game.

The old guy gave his life's energy to the NBA, although many people are not used to his **, but no one can deny that if it were not for David Stern's original efforts to turn the tide, it is still a debatable question whether the NBA can exist now.

Li Chen didn't know that he had been regarded by the ultimate boss as the main force to fully explore the Asian market, and the fierce competition made him not think too much, and not wanting to lose was the only thought he could still have, and he was also making unremitting efforts for this clear idea.

"Lee catches the ball again, and after taking the ball, he makes a gesture to shoot, but Ray Allen is not deceived by his feints, Lee hesitates, he should shoot directly to cheat the foul, he passes the ball, hands the ball inside, Gasol turns and hits a jumper, and the Big Apple is lucky to pick up an assist."

The intensity of the game was such that Mark Jackson didn't even have time to add his own opinion, and after the basketball hit, Jackson finally had a chance to start his high-pitched talk.

"Mike, you said that Lee should not shoot that ball just now, in my opinion he shouldn't pass the ball at all, you must know that Ray Allen has been fouled three times, I believe this situation will make his defense more cautious than before, and for Lee, the opponent's caution is his best chance."

Obviously, Mike Brin agreed with Jackson, "yes, I think it should be that way, Lee's presence has caused the Celtics to foul a lot more today than before." Kevin, Paul and Ray have all been fouled 3 times, while Perkins has 4 fouls and Rondo has 2 fouls. ”

Van Gundy also agreed, and the three of them rarely agreed, "If I were Phil, then I would let Kobe Bryant strengthen his individual singles in the next game, and in this situation, it is more important to cheat the opponent to foul than to score!" If the opponent doesn't dare to foul, then score hard! ”

Take advantage of his illness and want him to die, this is the opinion given by Van Gundy, Phil did not disappoint, after the pause, people found that Kobe Bryant was really as expected, picked up the ball and rushed in regardless of it, the Green Shirts because of the foul problem, the defense did not dare to be too tough, and the low-intensity defense made Kobe Bryant start to score wildly.

Rivers quickly noticed the problem on the court, prepared for it before the foul was set, and saw that the Lakers began to ignore the strong inside, Rivers quickly responded.

With a big wave of his hand, the Green Shirts went up and down twice, Ray Allen was replaced by Tony Allen, who had a good defense, this guy broke through well, but the tragedy was that he didn't know what to do next after breaking in, Rivers has always wanted to tune out his disciple's breakthrough ball, but after some hard work, he found that all this was not a good thing at all.

Perkins, who has been fouled 4 times, was also replaced by Davis, although the big baby has average ball skills, but he really looks very loving.

"Well, Doug has made a change of formation, but will this substitution have an effect, you must know that Tony Allen does not have Ray Allen's three points, he only has defense. Big baby doesn't have Perkins' rebounding and defense, he's just going to be cute, Jeff, what do you think? ”

Although Mark Jackson agreed with Rivers' change of lineup, he didn't think such a substitution would help the Celtics.

"I don't know, but since Doug did this, there must be his thoughts, and I'm looking forward to what surprises he can bring to the fans!" Van Gundy wanted to wait and see, and intuitively, he believed Rivers had prepared for the situation.

"Come on, you see, Tony Allen has a foul, his defense doesn't mean anything in front of Lee at all, anyone who has defended the Big Apple knows that you don't need to have great defensive skills in front of him, you just need to know how to send a foul at the right time."

"If you can get 10 fouls in a game, congratulations, you've got the Big Apple! But we all know that 10 fouls are impossible, and I don't think Tony Allen was timed to do so. Mark Jackson babbled, not believing that Rivers could come up with anything good.

Li Chen hit one of two free throws, and the ball was exchanged for the Celtics. The Green Shirts on the offensive side didn't try to make any small combinations like they tried before, and their tactics were simple, just like the Lakers two years ago, everyone pulled away, and the truth was going to single Ariza.

Someone once said that with Pierce's low-post skills, he could play even if he sat with the basket on his back. Indeed, the strongest way to score is a low-post back-to-back single.

Unlike Little Melon's low singles, PP doesn't need to use his PP to get the position, he uses his unbeatable back muscles. Relying on his tiger back, he can carry deep with a force, Pierce is the player who does the most serious low-post feints in the league, his feints are not fast and complicated, but the realism, coherence and ability to make fouls are definitely the first in the league.

A turnaround jumper that looked like something was no longer normal, Pierce put the ball firmly in the basket, and Tieza's seemingly tough defense seemed worthless in the moment.

Truth's jump shot and throw shot are not fast, the angle is not strange, and the angle is not changed, but the timing of the shot is just right, and he knows how to score in the best way. He doesn't squeeze inside and shoot backwards like the average player, because he can always get the best shot. In short, PP doesn't need to lean back at all.

Pierce had a back-to-back singles success and the Celtics scored two points. Yes, the truth is good in singles, but he can't keep playing like this, he is already over 30 years old, and no matter how strong his physical strength is, there is a limit. ”

Mark Jackson didn't think it was a wise move, and in his opinion, the Celtics would have had a chance if they had been careful defensively, but now it's really no fun.

"I don't agree with you," Van Gundy retorted, and the audience's long-awaited rivalry finally began, which was a trio of men.

"Pierce's physical strength doesn't need to worry in my opinion, you must know that this is just a regular season game, as long as they win against the Lakers, then even if they lose two more games, I believe the Green Shirts will not care, everyone knows that their goal is the playoffs, and this one means a lot to them!"

"And the special encouragement from the crowd before the game will surely make the truth burst into more potential than before, so there is hope for this game. Not only that, but I also know what Rivers' next move is? After a brilliant analysis, Van Gundy also pretended to be a mysterious seller.

"What action? Could it be that this is Rivers' special tactical arrangement? Mark Brin was impatient, and the audience wondered what the old man who had struggled with his hair to the point of losing his hair could see.

"Beep!" Van Gundy didn't speak, just whistled, strangely moving, most people didn't know what he was trying to say, but his two partners reacted quickly.

Mark Jackson looked surprised, "You mean? It's too messy, David is going to be mad, Mike, you say? ”

Mike Brin knew exactly what his partner was trying to say, "Well, it's certain that the boss is going crazy. However, I believe that the Green Shirts, as a traditional giant, will certainly not be afraid, like the Lakers, the league can exclude any team, but he will never exclude the Purple and Gold and the Green Shirts, because without the existence of their two teams, the NBA will collapse in half. ”

The audience was very dissatisfied with the mysterious statement of the commentary seat, and they were eager to know what would happen next, but it seemed that there was no need for a special explanation from the commentary seat, and the audience quickly reacted to the situation.

"Tony Allen fouled again because the number of fouls reached the cap and the Big Apple got two free throws again! Sure enough, the Celtics played with this idea. Mark Jackson said indignantly, already a commentator, who despised this ugly style of play.

"I can still accept that level of foul in the past, after all, it is the consensus that the defense can't help but choose to foul, but now this style of play is too ugly, this is just Chiguoguo's rules game, as for basketball, they have long been eaten!"

After all, rules are part of the game of basketball, and many games in history have become classics because of the clever use of rules. From a coach's point of view, it's just one tactic, and he's very useful for players who have obvious problems with their free throws. ”

"And this is not the first time this tactic has appeared, it used to be called 'shark cutting tactics', but now, people prefer to call it another name - fruit cutting tactics, and I personally prefer the second name."

Van Gundy has been a coach and can understand Rivers' approach, after all, the first goal of these people is to win, and the game process is only secondary. And then Li Chen's two free throws missed even more made Van Gundy feel that the Celtics still have a lot of hope, they only need to rely on this tactic to last until the end of the third quarter, and wait until the fourth quarter before the decisive battle between the two teams really begins.

The situation on the court made Mike Brin look a little listless, "Alas, Garnett hit Gasol again, because Lee missed the free throw before, and the Celtics are now only 4 points behind the Lakers, and it seems that victory will have to wait until the end to be decided." ”

"Either way, Doug's tactic seems to be working for now, foul for ball, it's still a good deal for the Green Shirts for the time being." Mark Jackson whispered that although he didn't like this kind of competition, he didn't forget his job.

"The Lakers were frustrated, and Pierce took the opportunity to hit a three-pointer, only two points away, hey, it's boring!" Li Chen hit one of the two free throws again, and the poor condition of the free throws even affected the performance of the other players, Pierce took the opportunity to hit a three-pointer through the big baby's block, and the truth played very well at the critical time.

Foul free throw single, this is the main color in the second half of the third quarter, with seemingly simple tactics, the Celtics not only smoothed the difference, but also overtook a point at the last moment through a dunk by Rondo, and Li Chen's score of 12 free throws in a single quarter is obviously the biggest contributor to the Celtics' overtaking of the score.

At 77:76, the game was as expected by the audience, no matter how tortuous the process was, but the suspense was saved to the end after all.
