Chapter 101
readx; Garnett, who was in the middle of the inner line, saw Rondo like this, and directly brought it up from the inside, and Garnett, who was in front of Rondo, said directly, "Rondo's game has reached a critical moment, and the other party is deliberately lying to you at this time, you must not lose your cool because of the other party's special anger, so as to lose your good judgment." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Garnett knew that Rondo had lost his cool a little at this point, and that Rondo, who remained calm, was a point guard that many teams feared. His passing is a nightmare for all teams, but it all has to be done calmly, and if you lose your cool, you will fall into the trap of the opposition, and the team will undoubtedly become more volatile. Now that they are four points behind in terms of scores, if the team loses their cool again in the rest of the game, then this game could collapse in the meantime, so Garnett must prevent this from happening.
"Yes, I do have to calm down, this Chinese just wants me to lose my cool so that they can win the game smoothly." Thinking of this, Rondo forcibly ordered himself to calm down. Then, perhaps to better calm down, Rondo passed the basketball in his hand to Pierce's hand. He has to take advantage of this time when there is no ball in his hand to calm down, and then take revenge on the opponent, and must not let the opponent take away the victory of this game.
Pierce, who received the ball, naturally understood why Rondo passed the ball to him, and at this time he did not choose to pass, but chose to directly turn his back to James. Although the latter's defense is very good, Pierce has no fear of this, he never worries about whether others can defend him, and he will always have a resolute heart to attack. As long as he has this heart, then he will not pass the basketball in his hand to his teammates.
In the midst of constant entanglement, Pierce finally found an opportunity with three seconds left in this offense, and shot the basketball in his hand steadily, brushed, and hit a two-point jumper. Although the process of this ball was not satisfactory to Pierce, this result was undoubtedly what Pierce wanted. Whatever the process is, as long as the ball can get into the basket, it's fine. In the end, the game is all about scoring goals, and the score goes up.
Coming back, James also singled with Pierce, and all the Cavaliers players pulled away at this moment, and obviously everyone knew that James wanted to single. And in addition to cooperating, they fully support James. And Huang Jun did not stand on the sidelines, but kept running to attract the attention of defenders and establish a better singles advantage for James. This is the difference between having Huang Jun and not having him, if there is no super threat of Huang Jun on the scene, then the Celtics' attention must be all on James.
In their hearts, as long as they defend James, don't let James have any chances, and don't let James easily throw the basketball in his hand into the basket, they will complete the task. No matter how many points the other teammates of the Cavaliers score, they will not go to the pack, just a single defense, but no matter how many goals James does not score, they will not choose to single defense and return to the pack. And when there is only James, they may even choose to have a three-man package, and even sometimes as soon as James bursts inside, almost the entire team's defensive players will converge towards James' location at this time.
But now they don't dare, because the Cavaliers have another player who can't threaten James in addition to James, that is, Huang Jun, and in addition to him, there is also an equally threatened Iverson. In this way, the defensive pressure faced by James is much less, and now Pierce is alone on the court, and no one dares to cover James.
"Pierce, why don't you dare to wrap me up now? Begging for a bag, it's absolutely impossible for you to defend me alone? Believe it or not. After saying that, James directly started to hit Pierce's body together, but did not hit Pierce's body, because just when James was about to crash into Pierce, Pierce chose to dodge. Of course, it wasn't that kind of dodge, but chose to take a step back, choosing to defend James' breakthrough and let him shoot.
"You still want to choose this trick against me? Maybe it worked well in '07, but this trick is of no use to me now" Looking at Pierce's action, James didn't understand what the other party was trying to do. James, who was about to break through, stopped directly at this moment, took a step back, and then made a jumper. He was very confident in this shot, and he felt after the shot that he must have made this shot.
The final result of "brushing" did not disappoint James, and the basketball went directly into the net, and it was hollow into the net. In this regard, Pierce could only spread his hands to show that he was very helpless. He also knows that James is training to shoot very well now. But it is impossible to defend the opponent's jump shot under the defense of the opponent's breakthrough, the threat of the breakthrough is far greater than James's shooting, after all, James's current shooting is not so stable.
In order to break through, as long as James breaks through to the inside, it is either an easy dunk, a layup, or a free throw, or even two plus one or something. Such an outcome would hurt the Celtics even more, so Pierce opted for a sane defensive approach. That is to strictly prevent James's breakthrough, even if James has practiced one-handed shooting, he must be forced to shoot outside, and he must not be allowed to break through to the inside. James like that is the team's nightmare, as long as he breaks through to the three-second zone, James is completely inexplicable, and has no choice but to foul.
Rondo controlled the ball to the half court and directly handed the ball in his hand to the hands of Garnett on the inside, and Garnett's score has not exceeded 20 points so far in this game. But Garnett's rebounds in this game have been in the twenties, and Garnett has focused his attention on defense in this game, so the offense is more handed over to the other two giants of the team. This time, Rondo's attitude was very resolute, that is, to put the ball in the hands of Garnett and let him create lethality for the Cavaliers' interior line.
The back single, followed by a forced shot in the bag, the ball missed, but the referee's whistle sounded at this time. Obviously, the Celtics' task is accomplished, which is to create lethality on the inside, which will make the Celtics want a stable offense and a stable score. Putting the ball in the hands of the interior is undoubtedly the most sure and most likely to hit the ball.
Everyone knows that the Cavaliers' interior line is very weak, Asik is a player who can defend but not attack, as long as there is a little interference under the basket, then Asik will never hit. So the Celtics decided to start from the opponent's inside line, which was also called for by the timeout just now. Garnett's free throws hit both free throws without any surprises, and the score difference came to two points again, which undoubtedly made the game full of suspense, and no one could know who the victory of this game would belong to. Because both teams could have won this game.
In the next few minutes, both sides began to deliberately add the ball to the inside. The Celtics naturally gave the ball to Garnett, who was on the inside. On the Cavaliers' side, James and Huang Jun or Iverson hold the ball to the inside to make damage. No matter who these three are, as long as they can break through to the opponent's inside line smoothly, then it will be much easier to score. Asik and Battier are constantly covering the three, making it easier to break through the three-point line.
The game continued like this until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, and at this time, the Cavaliers still led by two points in the score. But the ball is still the Knight's, as long as the Cavaliers score the next goal, then relatively speaking, they have the initiative in the game. Hold the initiative for at least one turn.
Neither side has any chance of making a mistake now, and the cost of that mistake will be likely to be a win or a win. Therefore, every player will do their best to defend their players, and will never let their strict guards easily have the opportunity to score.
Huang Jun kept dribbling the basketball in his hand, and Asik came up at this time to make a very good quality cover for him. Huang Jun naturally didn't waste such an excellent cover, and directly held the ball and went to the inside. At the same time, Asik, who had just covered, also ran in the direction of the basket, did he plan to participate in the offense, or did he plan to fight for offensive rebounds?
After Huang Jun hit the basket, he directly loaded it on a person's body, and he didn't need to look at him to know that the owner of this body was Garnett. However, Huang Jun didn't care, and directly threw the basketball in his hand in the direction of the basket. He didn't even look at the direction of the basket at all, and he couldn't see the direction of the basket, because his target this time was not the basket, but his teammates.
There was a loud "bang", and I saw that a person was hanging on the basket at this time, Asik. No one understood what was going on, how could Asik be in this place, and complete such a beautiful air catch? All this is so incredible in their eyes, but after the pause, the big screen on the scene analyzes it all for them. When they understood all this, they gave Asik a wild applause.
Asik was enjoying all of this while retreating towards half court, he couldn't let the opposition have any chance to counterattack, and his task was to defend the Cavaliers' basket, under the basket.
