Charles. Barkley laughed: "PP claimed to be the best player in the NBA after winning the '08 championship, but it doesn't seem like it will be easy for him to get a second championship ring. Before the start of the season, KG had said that it would not be easy to stay healthy all season, but as long as you have the confidence to reduce injuries, a second title is not a fantasy. ”

Kenny. Smith also smiled: "It's true, if you want to win the championship, it's not just strong enough, injuries are always the most difficult obstacle to overcome on the road to glory, so three consecutive championships are rare, and any team that can win three consecutive championships shows that these players have dominated the stadium for a long time." ”

Charles. When Barkley heard the word "champion", his face suddenly fell, and then he looked at the big three, who had the upper hand in an instant, opened his bloody mouth, and said without thinking: "But the gold content of winning the championship in a group is always insufficient." He said this with naked jealousy.

Zhang Yu was on the court, his face was also not good-looking, the team was already 12 points behind, and it was caused by his mistakes, which was too painful.

Looking at the expressions of his teammates, he is unreliable at the core of the team at critical moments, which is the one thing that affects the morale of the team the most. Other players will inevitably think: since the boss can't handle it, we can't do it even more!

This is how the Cavaliers lost in the last game, and as soon as James hit the iron at the critical moment, the other players of the Cavaliers immediately lost their fighting spirit.

Zhang Yu received the serve, and the Celtics actually used full-court pressing this time, which was worried that they would not be able to kill with a stick, and were ready to give them another stick!

Ray Allen is full of confidence at the moment. I thought that he would be a loophole, but it seems that although he can't defend against Zhang Yu alone, he is not a short board in joint defense. On the contrary, with excellent defensive awareness, Zhang Yu can have a great impact.

Zhang Yu is now in the opposite position with Rondo, this guy is very fast, and he needs to be extremely careful at all times to prevent the opponent from breaking the ball.

Lei Allen forced him to wrap up at this time, and Zhang Yu was extremely passive for a while, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Zhang Yu was caught outside the three-point line on the wing by a double bag, and Wallace went around to the top of the arc to catch the ball.

Pierce only defends the passing path between the two. There is no need to defend Wallace, it is better to watch the basketball.

Gerrard. Wallace could only run over to catch the ball with his hands, and Zhang Yu was already about to make a mistake under the bag of two people.

Zhang Yu handed over the ball. Immediately pull away, they are more dangerous together.

Wallace received the pot, but Ray Allen did not follow Zhang Yu and continued to come up to wrap Wallace. Rondo followed the bunny closely. Cut off Wallace's passing route.

Pierce and Ray Allen continued to double wrap Wallace, the latter did not have Zhang Yu's good ball control ability, and when he saw that he was about to make a mistake, he quickly jumped up and passed the basketball in Zhang Yu's direction.

Rondo is only 185cm tall, but his arm span is more than 2 meters, and there are few players with such a long arm span as him among point guards.

The NBA just needs to break the ball. It's basically a fast break, and it's almost impossible to defend.

Pierce and Ray Allen plus Rondo. The Celtics launched a three-line fast break......

Zhang Yu wrapped around Rondo, and Pierce received a pass and scored a layup.

The Celtics fought back twice on breaks, and less than a minute into the third quarter, the score had been stretched to 14 points.

D'Antoni gritted his teeth and called another timeout, and the two sticks were really about to knock them to death.

"Didn't you NCAA learn how to break the defense? Play the ball fast, don't stand still, and move. Their oppressive defense is not much better than that of the Cavaliers, and since we can crack the Cavaliers' suffocating defense, there is no reason to be defended by the Celtics. We have the best outside line in the league to break through them! ”

Zhang Yu was secretly distressed in his heart, although the last time he was cut off by Rondo was the ball passed by Wallace, it was also inseparable from him.

In the last round against the Cavaliers, West, who defended him, was completely frightened by him, and the depressed man could not be compared with the Celtics in terms of timing and intensity, he could aim at the melancholy man to break his face! But not now, Ray Allen, despite his declining athleticism, is experienced, has excellent defensive awareness, and has much better timing for packs and tackles than West.

The most important thing is that the Celtics' joint defense is pressed out, and at this time, it should not be cracked with the outside line, but with the inside line. As long as the inside line can be opened, it will naturally be able to break the Celtics' joint defense, but unfortunately they can't do this.

The timeout ends and the game resumes.

The "TD North Shore Garden" court continued to unleash loud noise, and Celtics fans distracted the declining Knicks with a tsunami-like boo.

David Lee sent the ball in front of the court, and Zhang Yu received the ball.

The Knicks' on-court lineup has not changed, Zhang Yu has the ball, and this time Crawford and Wallace are running more aggressively.

The Celtics didn't wrap Zhang Yu as soon as they came up, so they could only expose the other party in vain. As long as Zhang Yu does not enter the threat area, the Celtics don't care about him at all, and only tilt their forces in the direction where the basketball is, and the defensive center moves with the basketball.

"Run!" Zhang Yu was two steps away from the three-point line at the top of the arc, and when he saw that the Celtics did not come up to force the grab, he waved his hand to signal his teammates to run tactically.

The Celtics were indifferent to this, running as they pleased, and they just watched the basketball and the passing route.

There will be loopholes in any joint defense, but it is not easy to exploit, the Celtics are not standing and letting the Knicks run, five players guard their own area, and keep an eye on Zhang Yu's passes. At this time, the Celtics' defense has actually become loose on the inside, and if there is a player on the interior who can attack in the low post, it will definitely turn the Celtics' defense upside down at this time.

It's a pity that the Knicks didn't, Wallace and Crawford tried to intersperse on the bottom line, but Zhang Yu didn't dare to pass, and he already knew that he was terrible when he was cut off two, and the three outside players on the other side had a high sense of breaking the ball, and they wouldn't let him pass the ball behind him, so he could only choose to break through.

ZHANG YU RUSHED TO THE THREE-POINT LINE ONE STEP AWAY, IGNORING THE 185CM RONDO, RUSHED TO TAKE A STEP BACK BEFORE GARNETT'S BAG, AND STEPPED ON THE THREE-POINT LINE TO SHOOT A SUPER LONG TWO-POINT ......

"Huh!"

Zhang Yu hit this hollow shot and finally scored two points.

D'Antoni clenched his fist on the sidelines and swung it hard, and if the ball couldn't be scored, they were completely carried away by a wave.

Zhang Yu is not so optimistic, this ball is very difficult, and he is not sure that he can always throw it.

In the playoffs, it's almost impossible to win a game just by counting on such a long-range shot or a three-pointer. Not to mention the playoffs, even in the regular season, it is unrealistic to expect to win like this. If you want to win, you have to play close to the basket, at least to the free throw line, where he can shoot with a certain percentage of shots that can win.

How can you win a game with an 18-foot shot from beyond the clock and a shooting percentage of just over 40 percent at best?

The Celtics' joint defense is pressed out, and it is also an option to deal with it with a breakthrough, and Zhang Yu can indeed break through by relying on his personal ability. So in the next game, Zhang Yu added a breakthrough. However, the Green Shirts are not without arrangement, and once he breaks through to the three-point line, the Celtics' defense will come over like a fishnet.

After making a few mistakes, Zhang Yu finally summed up his experience, as long as he can make a quick shot before the Celtics open the "defensive net" to cover it, or pass the basketball before being trapped, he can crack the opponent's joint defense.

The first method is the simplest, Zhang Yu himself has a height advantage in the face of Rondo and Ray Allen. The second method is easy to be tackled by the opponent, especially the Celtics' ability to break the ball is very good, with his passing accuracy, he can't pass the ball from the gap like Paul, Nash, and Kidd to assist teammates for the time being.

Zhang Yu played the third quarter and scored 13 points in a single quarter, turning his personal count into 29 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

With the score at 64:78, the Celtics led by 14 points heading into the fourth quarter.

The Knicks only scored 19 points in the third quarter, most of which were scored by Zhang Yu alone.

This is not to say that his teammate CBA, but the Celtics' joint defense consciously separated Zhang Yu from his teammates, forcing him to shoot outside jumpers, even if he can burst to the basket, the Celtics would rather let him score on the layup than let him pass the ball.

Zhang Yu's shooting rate is not bad, and he has hit 11 of his 22 shots so far, exactly 50%.

It stands to reason that this is higher than the Celtics' overall shooting percentage, and it shouldn't be behind.

Of course, that's not the case, and the Knicks still have one more count that they haven't counted, that is, their total number of shots, which is 7 fewer shots than the Celtics in the third quarter, which is close to 10 points. If you add that the Celtics grabbed 4 more frontcourt rebounds, this is close to 10 points of advantage.

The Knicks have scored a lot more fast-break points than their opponents in the past, and that's one of the factors they relied on to win.

However, now they are only on par with Celtic, which is caused by too many broken balls, and once the ball is broken, Celtic will inevitably counterattack. In this way, they no longer have an advantage, but a significant disadvantage, and not being led by 20 points is already the reason for their outstanding personal ability and high singles efficiency.

D'Antoni was similarly at a loss during the third-quarter break.

The Celtics used Jordan's rule to deal with Zhang Yu, and the Flyer was ravaged by the Pistons in this way, so that the Zen master later made a triangular attack, so that the effect of this method on the bull was halved; Then Kobe Bryant and O'Neal were also played like this, and it was the Zen master's triangle attack......

D'Antoni doesn't know how to attack the bullshit triangle, but he has a way to crack it, as long as there is a strong player on the inside, any type of attack, even Randolph he wants now. As long as the opponent's defense can be contained, the Celtics' regional defense will not be able to focus on Zhang Yu, and naturally they will not be able to separate Zhang Yu from his teammates.

The mustache shook his head, to put it mildly, his internal offensive ability is too poor, if there is a Xiao Si among the inside players, how dare the other party use Jordan's rule on Zhang Yu so unscrupulously? (To be continued......)
