Chapter 1481 Every Location Is Exploding
Many people say that the Celtics this season are disappointing. They have such a terrifying lineup but they have not produced the results they should have. Although the Celtics' record is not bad and they have maintained a high winning rate since the start of the game, Still suppressed by the Cavaliers, the gap with the Magic behind them has not widened. There is a risk of being surpassed at any time. The so-called happiness comes and goes quickly. Green Army fans have begun to worry about the team's prospects this season.
Especially for the Big Three, Garnett's return from injury is generally understandable, but Ray Allen and Pierce's stretched hips are a bit unreasonable.
Pierce is okay. Apart from his daily talk and being repeatedly slapped in the face, his performance on the field is also pretty good. Although he is worse than two years ago, he is not weak. Today, he is still the fourth small forward in the league.
This mainly refers to Ray Allen. If you are his fan and have watched his games in recent seasons, you will know how much Ray Allen has regressed this season. His three-pointers have been hit so far this season. The rate dropped to 35.4%. This level is not high for ordinary players and is reasonable, but for Ray Allen, the strongest three-point shooter after Reggie Miller, it is an absolute failure. This season he even There was also the classic crotch-pulling scene of 0-for-7 shooting from beyond the three-point line, which was shocking and very disappointing to the fans who supported him.
In the last game, Ray Allen only scored 7 points in the game. Although the Green Army won in the end, Ray Allen was still on the hot list. Many people said that he has become the short-sightedness of the Green Army. plate.
Seeing this, you may think that Ray Allen is no longer good, and neither is the Celtics. After all, the Lakers have only lost one game at the moment, while the Greens have lost 7 games.
However, facing the Lakers in this game, Ray Allen showed from the beginning that he is still the terrifying gentleman Ray!
At the beginning, the Lakers won the ball fight. Under the cheers of 20,000 spectators at Staples, Kobe took the lead and made a sudden stop and fadeaway jumper. Just by listening to the name, you know how difficult this action is, but the basketball seems to be pretending. With clear navigation and accurate pocket placement, the Lakers took the lead in opening up the situation.
But before the Lakers could recover, the Green Army responded with a shot. Ray Allen ran for a long time, as if he had returned to his youth. Although Kobe tried his best to keep up, he was faced with three consecutive pick-and-rolls. Still couldn't stop him from catching the ball, and Ray Allen proved that it only takes 2 seconds from receiving the ball to the ball flying into the net!
Uh-huh!
Ray Allen hits his first three-pointer of the night!
Then Kobe will naturally not give up. Playing against the Celtics is when Kobe is most excited. He and Ji Feng complete the cooperation. Ji Feng attracts the defense and instantly makes a NO LOOK PASS, allowing Kobe to also hit a three-pointer in the open space!
The Green Army unexpectedly continued to play Ray Allen. Garnett held the ball with his back, Ray Allen quickly ran the tactics, picked and rolled from the center line to the inside, Garnett passed the ball directly, and Ray Allen received the ball low Hand layup scored again!
"Ray Allen and Kobe are going head-to-head, it's a bit like when the Lakers and Seattle SuperSonics played a game," Director Zhang said.
Yu Jia, on the other hand, paid more attention to the tactics played by the Celtics: "In past games, the Celtics paid more attention to the inside. Rondo's first choice to get the ball is definitely to give it to Garnett, and then Pierce. Rivers' offensive tactics are not that complicated. "Reducing mistakes is the key. Pierce's post-up play is one of the main ways for the Celtics to stabilize their position. Ray Allen is not even the team's third choice, but tonight Ray Allen unexpectedly took the lead."
"Good job!" Rivers clapped his hands on the sidelines. This was one of his changes, asking Ray Allen to play more, especially on the outside, so as to tear apart the defense.
His tactics were undoubtedly successful. In the first half of the quarter, both sides focused on the second position, but Ray Allen turned out to be the one who performed better. He hit 2 three-pointers and 2 mid-range shots in 6 minutes. Points were obtained through free throws, and he scored 10 points in the first half of the quarter, while Kobe had 7 points.
Ray Allen's brilliance forced the Lakers to expand their defense. Kobe stepped on the three-point line to guard, and Ji Feng also began to intentionally lean in the direction of Ray Allen. At this time, Rondo suddenly exerted his strength. He first broke through and caused Bynum to foul. , made 2 free throws, and then completed a steal and scored in one stop. The Green Army established a 6-point advantage in one fell swoop!
This is Rondo's growth. If Rondo was still an average player last season, this season Rondo is definitely a quasi-All-Star. He averaged 11.9 points, 8.2 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game and is definitely the No. 1 player in the Eastern Conference. He is in the top three, and his rhythm ability and ability to control the situation on the field are even more commendable. Just like just now, he can always seize the slightest opportunity on the field.
The Lakers requested a timeout. After the timeout, the camera focused on Ji Feng, but it was indeed Fisher who showed off his power!
An old fish can still eat before it gets old!
Ji Feng received a lot of defensive pressure tonight. Pierce didn't attack because he focused almost all his energy on defending Ji Feng. He constantly used his body and weight to cause trouble for Ji Feng, making Ji Feng very uncomfortable from the moment he caught the ball. It's not easy. The Green Army also arranged double teams. As long as Ji Feng catches the ball and breaks through, the double teams will come!
This obviously had an effect. After Ji Feng received the ball at the three-point line, he had no chance to make a shot. He continued to shake and open up space to break through. Garnett directly covered the defense. Ji Feng could only choose to pass the ball!
It was Lao Yu who stood up this time!
Three points!
Three points!
Fisher surprisingly returned two 3-pointers to the Green Army at the top of the arc, and the point difference was instantly wiped out!
"Wonderful! Beautiful, Ji Feng's assist, Fisher exploded! Anyone who dares to underestimate Lao Yu will definitely pay the price!" Yu Jia yelled in the live broadcast room.
The most outrageous thing was that after Fisher made the shot, he had an incredible smile on his face. He made the 'three' gesture while stepping back, and winked at Rondo.
Although my brother is old, your brother is still your brother!
The back lines of the Lakers and Greens took off in the first quarter. In the last minute, Ji Feng assisted Fisher and Kobe to hit mid-range shots, while Ray Allen hit a 3-pointer for the Greens.
26-26, the two sides drew in the first quarter.
Kobe Bryant had 10 points, Fisher had 9 points, Ray Allen had 13 points, and Rondo had 6 points and 4 assists. The back lines of both sides dominated the first quarter.
The second quarter became dominated by the inside. Garnett and Bynum came off the bench respectively. Artest and Rasheed Wallace also made their appearances respectively. As soon as Artest came out, he and Rasheed Wallace The soldiers started to quarrel, but what really caught the eye was the confrontation inside.
Bynum met a tough guy like Rasheed Wallace for the first time this season. It has to be said that there are really too few insider talents in the league today. Bynum basically has no pressure, but he finally met him tonight. It’s time for hard work.
However, Bynum had already used most of his inside shots at this time. He stuck out his fat butt, turned around, and completed the layup.
Next door, Garnett turned around and scored a jump shot.
Bynum and Garnett dominated the transition period, and after Gasol returned, the Lakers had the upper hand inside, but the value of Roaring God was on the outside. When the Lakers opened up a 5-point gap, two consecutive corner three-pointers The points allowed the Green Army to take the lead by 1 point!
"The confrontation was so fierce, basically every position was in a rage!"
