Chapter 426: Blowing you up in what you're good at
Three minutes into the game, when Rondo threw the ball away again in Smart's defense, Mavericks head coach Carlisle frowned slightly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Celtics in the game seized the opportunity to counterattack, Li Yang sent another assist to help Sallinger score two points inside, and Carlisle did not hesitate to call a timeout, at this time the score of the two teams was 2:11.
Carlisle understood the mood that Rondo wanted to show when he returned to the home stadium, so he didn't stop it when he saw Rondo choose more to attack on his own after the opening. However, Rondo's repeated attacks failed but he still chose to shoot on his own, which made Carlisle a little dissatisfied.
The game played three and a half minutes, and the Mavericks still scored 2 points, and in the three and a half minutes, Rondo scored 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting on the court, had 1 turnover, and also had a hasty pass to Chandler, which caused Chandler to not hold the error.
On the other hand, Li Yang not only scored 2 points after stealing Rondo, but also handed out 4 assists to help the Celtics score 11 points.
The Mavericks' offense was a mess because of Rondo's uncoolness, and on the other hand, Li Yang led the Celtics' offense to play a storm, and Carlisle could only be forced to call a timeout.
'Rajan, cut down on the attack, we need to get the ball moving. When the Mavericks' players came to the sidelines, Carlisle's first words were directed at Rondo.
Listening to Carlisle's words, Rondo was undoubtedly extremely depressed in his heart, before the game began, he was full of expectations and confidence, and wanted to have a good performance in front of Celtic fans to slap Li Yang in the face, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by Li Yang on the field.
In terms of statistics, he only had 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting, and 1 turnover, and was blown out by Li Yang on the opposite side with 2 points and 4 assists. On the performance on the field, Li Yang first passed the ball through the crotch, then steals and dunks, and then gave him a big hat, and the gap in Rondo's heart can be imagined.
"Rajan, we're very supportive of you proving yourself in this arena, but you have to do what you're good at, you're a point guard, you use your playmaking skills to help the team win, that's the best way to prove yourself. ”
Carlisle continued, Rondo's eyes lit up when he heard this, Carlisle was right, he should do what he was good at, and he was too stupid to think about scoring just now.
"Coach, I know what to do. Rondo immediately nodded and said.
Seeing that Rondo has been woken up by himself, Carlisle began to rearrange his tactics, if Rondo, who has very average offensive ability, is obsessed with his own attack, Carlisle will really have a headache, and his offensive tactics are very focused on the transmission of the ball.
The two teams returned to the court, the game continued, Rondo remembered Carlisle's advice, and did not blindly pursue offense after returning to the court, and he played with Nowitzki in the first round, a simple block and a ground-hitting pass, Rondo assisted Nowitzki to hit a jumper to score 2 points.
After seeing that Rondo was no longer in a hurry to attack, but started passing, Li Yang knew that the duel between the two teams had just begun at this time.
Sure enough, after coming to the other side, when Li Yang received Smart's pass, he immediately found that the Mavericks' defense was much tighter.
Signaling Jeff Green to block, Li Yang began to break through with the ball, and the Mavericks began to pinch again, and when Li Yang dribbled into the three-point line, Parsons had bypassed Green to the side, and Nowitzki also stopped in front of the defense.
Hitting the ground and passing, Li Yang sent the ball to Green's hands, and Green, who got the ball, rushed to the basket, but Chandler's defense was very timely and stopped Green's layup.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, continued to play Rondo and Nowitzki's pick-and-roll tactics, but this time Nowitzki didn't get a direct chance to attack, and Green's defense was in place.
At this time, the Mavericks switched to playing Nowitzki's high-post strategy, and shooting guard Monta Ellis hit a jumper after receiving Nowitzki's pass from mid-range.
At 6:11, the original 9-point difference was chased to only 5 points in the blink of an eye.
The Celtics relaunched the attack, Smart controlled the ball to the half court, and looked for Li Yang again, but Li Chang did not catch the ball at this time, stretched out his hand, made a gesture to adjust his tactics, and then began to run.
As an playmaker, Li Yang has absolute command over what tactics Celtics execute on the court, and this command is not even when there is the ball.
Li Yang's off-ball running ability is undoubtedly extremely good, Stevens did not shy away from talking about Li Yang's stronger off-ball ability and shooting ability than James when he met with Li Yang in the summer, and Parsons quickly realized Li Yang's off-ball ability that he exercised in the Spurs.
Although Parsons' follow-up defense was also very tight, Parsons still couldn't keep up with Li Yang's pace after Li Yang found an opportunity to make a quick stop, and when Li Yang shook off Parsons and rushed to the basket, Smart's pass came at the right time.
Li Yang got the ball and rushed directly into the inside The lethality of the bull players knows very well, so at this moment, Parsons actively chased after him, and Chandler and Nowitzki, the two interior players, also quickly moved to this side to block.
However, Li Yang never thought about attacking himself from the beginning, and plunged headlong into the defense of the Mavericks' two interior players, and the ball in his hand was sent one step ahead of the curve and passed to Jeff Green under the basket at this moment.
"Bang!"
Without the Mavericks' inside block, Green unceremoniously came to a two-handed dunk and blasted the ball into the basket!
"Jeff Green dunked with both hands, or Li Yang's assist, the game only played for less than half a quarter, and Li Yang has already got his fifth assist!"
Rondo returned to the court radiant after being reminded by Carlisle, and he rediscovered his goal, which was to use his passing ability to suppress Li Yang, but he soon found that even in what he did best, Rondo still struggled to do.
Not long after he completed an assist, Li Yang immediately returned an assist, and this assist was even more beautiful than his.
Rondo really wanted to get another assist, but he suddenly found it difficult, the Celtics' defense did a very good job, which made it difficult for him to complete the assist through simple cooperation, although the Mavericks' offense was still played, but the assist was not counted on his head.
What made Rondo even more depressed was that Li Yang completed the assist at this time, using his excellent breakthrough ability, Li Yang directly tore through the Mavericks' defense, and then passed the ball to the mid-range Sallinger to assist the latter's easy jump shot.
So at this time, Rondo was depressed to find that he, a point guard, only had 1 assist in the half quarter of the game, while Li Yang, a small forward, had already got 6 assists, and he was still beaten by Li Yang in his best field.
