Chapter 291: The Temptation Ends

After the Knicks called a timeout, Crawford hit a three-pointer on Ray Allen's head on the offensive end, and the unreasonable shot went into the frame!

Lei Allen's face is naturally not very good-looking, this feeling of being forcibly bukkake, no matter how good his temper is, no matter how personable he is, he will not like it. Crawford's ball is a step away from the three-point line, this is his exclusive hot zone, if he really sticks to the three-point line, the man can't shoot it, it's so willful.

On the offensive end of the Celtics, Rondo just passed the basketball out, and Zhang Yu immediately shrank to the free throw line to defend, ready to wrap the Wolves at any time, but looking at his appearance, he may want to break the ball more.

Pierce received the basketball on the wing, and originally wanted to pass the basketball to Garnett, who was on the line, and then cut the basket himself. But after glancing at Zhang Yu's position, the position of this rabbit made this pass too dangerous, and the opponent only needed to react quickly and grab a step to break the ball.

Perkins immediately stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll, and Ray Allen began to weave runs along the baseline. As soon as the Celtics run, there is a feeling that they have no way to start, and any one of the Big Three is a mortal threat. The pressure on the defensive team is unimaginable, and the Knicks are looking at everyone at the moment.

Pierce broke through, Garnett went down, the Wolves helped Ray Allen make a no-ball cover under the basket, as long as the Celtics are running, there will be countless links operating at the same time, sometimes the Big Three have whimsical ideas, and even Coach Rivers has never seen it, and it is completely a whimsical and casual style of play.

Defensive teams want to defend the Celtics like this, and they also need to be able to understand each other and be flexible on the court. There aren't many teams in the league that can do it, at least not the Knicks.

Gerrard. Wallace is a master of single defense, facing offense like the Celtics. The defensive effect is far less than Battier's. If Battier and Zhang Yu were to work together, the effect of defending the Green Shirts would be much stronger than that of Wallace. This is not to say that Wallace's defensive ability is not as good as Battier, but playing basketball, like curing illness, needs to be treated appropriately.

Zhang Yu and Wallace made a judgment in an instant, and the two of them went together to change the defense of Ray Allen, but Crawford did not have this awareness at this time, and still recognized his defender.

Two Knicks players did a repeat defense. Crawford didn't have the sense to change defenses, and still followed his defender Ray Allen, and Celtic's Rondo and Pierce all leaked out in an instant. In the end, Pierce was unguarded and scored an easy dunk under the basket.

"Damn it!" Zhang Yu found that he and Wallace and Crawford were actually led outside by Ray Allen alone, this scene was too embarrassing.

The Celtics fans in the "TD North Shore Garden" arena immediately let out a violent mockery when they saw the Knicks defending three and one. Feel free to taunt the Knicks' three fools.

Zhang Yu found that no matter how he assisted. The other side seems to have a way to run out of the way. Sometimes, when it is hard to hold on once, the Big Three can still score points when they play their individual abilities, and the current Celtics are completely different from the Celtics he met in the regular season.

Overall + star = champion, the big three sacrificed each other in exchange for a more balanced overall strength.

With the last 20 seconds left in the first half, the score was 45:50. The Knicks trailed by five points.

Zhang Yu dribbled to execute the last attack, and he has 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. But the team is still passive.

This game is different from the last round when they couldn't stop James and lost, he has a feeling that falling behind today is completely due to strength, and the Celtics just have more chances than them, the defense is more in place, and the interior line also has an absolute advantage.

The reason why the Knicks have only trailed by five points so far is because their backcourt players have scored all of them in a few waves, Crawford, Nate. Robinson and Wallace both had a number of reluctant shots in the first half, but luckily the shooting percentage was not bad, which is why they fell behind by ten points without halftime, and to put it bluntly, they were lucky.

But luck won't be so good in every game, except that they are better at individual singles, there is nothing better than the opposite side. Perhaps being faster is an advantage, but the Celtic's quick counter-attack seems to have been laid out in advance, except for a few sneak attacks in the opening game, there was not much success in the future.

"I'm afraid, even if the Cavaliers make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, the table at this moment won't be much better than us?"

Zhang Yuyun stopped at the top of the arc, thinking about the boundless things in his heart, waiting for the last few seconds before executing the last attack.

Rondo is now the most depressed one of the Celtics, Zhang Yu deliberately praised him before the game, but when it came to the game, it was the little rabbit who ravaged him again and again that praised him as the fourth big man before the game.

Zhang Yu has scored 16 points, most of which are bukkake on his head, who called him so short?

On the offensive end, Rondo also didn't get much of the ball, and the number of shots in the entire first half was only 4, which is not the fourth giant.

When the timer came to the last five seconds, Pierce suddenly came up to pack the clip, and the Celtics actually played the attention of Zhang Yu with the last attack.

Wallace had a chance, and Zhang Yu immediately passed the ball.

The Celtics rotated extremely fast, and as soon as Wallace received the ball, Ray Allen was already prepared to make up for it.

Wallace passed again, Crawford received the ball, time was running out, and the man had to shoot.

Garnett pounced ferociously, and Crawford shot outside the three-point line, only to adjust the arc to avoid being fanned off by a big hat from the Wolves.

"Bang dang!"

Crawford hurriedly adjusted the arc, the basketball smashed into the basket and bounced high, and the timer happened to turn red to end the first half.

Celtics fans cheered the home team players in a tsunami, and the perfect defense of the Big Three successfully thwarted the Knicks' last attack!

The Knicks players quickly walked into the tunnel to the boos of the Celtics fans, and they played very depressed in the first half, feeling like they were being toyed with and clapped.

Zhang Yu had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half, Crawford 10 points, and Gerrard. Wallace had eight points, Nate Robinson had six points, David Lee had two points and Birdman Anderson had two points.

For the Celtics, Pierce had 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Garnett had 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Ray Allen had 9 points, Davis had 7 points, Rondo had 4 points and 3 assists, and Perkins had 4 points.

Kenny. Smith midfield commentary. He took aim at Rondo, who had the Celtics' worst first half performance, and asked Barkley: "Rondo is from Kentucky, the best handler in the All-Southwest University Division." He was drafted by the Suns to be traded to Boston, and now he is surrounded by players like KG, PP, and Allen, and he is the offensive initiator who controls the whole team, how much pressure do you say he has? ”

Charles. Barkley replied: "If I think in terms of the very cherished and valuable Celtic starting point of view, I don't think about the pressure too much. The players on the Kai team are real veterans who have both the ability to win championships and the confidence to win championships, for a young player. Such a team will increase his self-confidence a lot. Just imagine being able to meet the best team in the league so early, so I don't think he would and shouldn't think it was pressure. It's an excellent opportunity to be with the Big Three, and the three of them have been fighting for more than a decade. ”

Kenny. Smith laughed: "I heard the news before the game and it seemed that the Big Three wanted Rondo to be the lead singer of the team, and they said to Rondo 'Shout at us on the pitch. Tell us where to go. The ball is in your hand! ’”

Charles. Barkley pouted when he heard this: "This is easier said than done!" Rondo is not an easy thing to do to shout at three guys who are over 33 years old and 10 years old. Either way, his experience will always grow over the time he spends with the Big Three. To sum up, I think he's lucky, and if it wasn't for the trade to the Green Shirts, I think he would have had a hard time making it to an All-Star. ”

In the Celtics locker room, Coach Rivers was very happy with the team's first half of the game, and the Big Three didn't need him to say much, after a season of cooperation. Especially since they won the championship in their first season, how to win on the field no longer needs to be reminded by him repeatedly. He only needs to lay out the tactics, and he doesn't need to worry about the psychology and fighting spirit of the players.

"We didn't press them defensively enough in the first half, Allen, I'll give Toni more time in the second half and let him increase the pressure on the team's defense." Rivers is very good at being a person, and he made his words clear in advance, giving Ray Allen enough face.

Ray Allen is a good talkative player, and immediately smiled at Tony Allen: "Tony, that Jamal and the little rabbit are very difficult, especially the little rabbit is more threatening than when we compete in the regular season, you have to be careful." ”

Tony. Allen is still under a lot of pressure on his task, he has long seen the power of Zhang Yu and Crawford, these two guys are the last thing any defensive player wants to encounter, one is accurate at all times, and the other is accurate to shoot no matter what, it feels tricky to think about.

"Okay, I'll do my best to defend."

Tony. Allen didn't dare to let out big words, his obvious lack of confidence in the answer, all teammates, including Rivers, can understand, just like meeting Kobe and James, this kind of player can't expect to prevent them, he can only do his best to obey God!

Coach Rivers continued: "We can't defend alone, we can pull the defense out a little bit in the second half, and as soon as the third quarter starts, we play together to see if they can handle it. ”

The Big Three heard Rivers' setup and knew that their coach was planning to suddenly exert force at the beginning of the third quarter to try to take the Knicks away in waves.

In the Knicks locker room, the atmosphere was not so pleasant.

D'Antoni continued to emphasize speed, and in the first half they played with speed except for the first half of the first quarter, and then they were dragged into the mud by the Celtics. The mustache was not blind, the team relied entirely on profligacy to withstand the Celtics' offensive in the first half, and D'Antoni would never think that his team had such a good touch and luck in a game, no matter how crazy he was.

"We have to run, everybody has to run...... They are taller and stronger than us...... But we're faster and more flexible than them! We must use our strengths to defeat them, don't be afraid of mistakes, and use speed to break down their defenses! ”

The mustache once again impassionedly used a fascist speech to the players, and the two mustaches were very cute because of their excitement.

Zhang Yu slandered in his heart: "To put it simply, you will know how easy it will be when you really go to the game, and the Celtics are not particularly slow, besides, the opponent is experienced, has a good sense of retreat, and has a better sense of blocking and interception. ”

D'Antoni finished arranging the team's style of play, and he was entangled in his own interior players, the three main interior players have all committed three fouls, just David Lee received another foul before halftime, how to solve the foul problem in the second half? (To be continued......)
