drop!Horns sounded in the arena.
The announcer announced loudly that Steve Blake of the Clippers came on to replace Baron Davis.
Su Yang beckoned and communicated with his teammates while the referee was still arranging the sideline.
"The opponent intentionally pulls our formation by cutting without the ball, especially Ray Allen and Rondo. We only use chasing and defending, and the effect will be relatively average. Next, we will focus on cutting off their passing routes and forcing them to play singles..."
The four of Barnes nodded in unison, then turned around and took their positions, turning around or sideways in various ways.
The Celtics kicked off from the left sideline, Rondo directly threw a high pass, and the basketball went straight to the top of the arc.
Perkins received the ball and turned around, and then divided the 45-degree three-point line on the right. Pierce raised his hand sideways to catch the ball.
The right half was quickly left empty, and Pierce assumed a triple-threat position with his left foot as the axis, testing the ball with both hands.Perkins ran over with heavy steps, making it clear that he was going to cover, but Barnes decisively gave up the frontal defense and grabbed the upper line sideways.
At the same time, Jordan moved horizontally to the right waist, blocking Pierce's breakthrough route.
Pierce observed for a moment, and calmly dribbled the ball along the sideline, and when he was about to rush to the bottom corner, he suddenly stopped and raised his hand.
In that action, he didn't aim at the basket at all, and any fool could see that he wanted to pass the ball.
Barnes hurriedly raised his hands to interfere, and Pierce turned to face Perkins, who was standing on the right wing.
Barnes then bent sideways, crossed his hands and continued to interfere, and Pierce pretended to pass again.
Barnes was not fooled, and at the moment Pierce hit the ball, he slapped hard with both hands.
Snapped!The rapidly rising basketball suddenly fell.
Barnes stepped forward, reached out to catch the basketball, turned around and ran forward.
Cheers sounded in the arena, and the Clippers launched a fast break with all members, but unfortunately the Celtics retreated very quickly.
Su Yang raised his hand to indicate the rhythm, caught the ball from the center line and brought it to the top of the arc, and it went straight into the paint without warning.
The pressure rhythm suddenly changed to a pass, and the Celtics had no time to encircle, and Perkins was the only one in the paint.
After receiving the pass, Jordan flashed through the key points mentioned in the pre-match video analysis meeting. He directly raised the basketball and started a three-step layup. He didn't want to compete with Perkins at all. He hit the basket in one encounter. .
Perkins twisted his hips in a hurry, and it was too late, so he subconsciously reached out to grab Jordan's jersey.
Beep!The referee blew his whistle, called Perkins for a common foul, and gave the Clippers the right to the frontcourt sideline.
"Hey hey, how is this an ordinary foul, Jordan has already started..."
"Coach Van Gundy has the same question as you, but Crawford doesn't seem to think so..."
"In the first 2 minutes, the referee whistled a little bit strictly for the Clippers, so we have to find a way."
"We can trust the professionalism of the NBA and believe that referees will make corresponding adjustments..."
On the court, the Clippers kicked off from the sideline.
Blake throws the ball to the top of the arc, Barnes catches the ball and immediately passes back, Blake then passes to the left corner.
Su Yang holds the ball high, turns around and shakes it to test, and observes the defensive position at the same time, and finds that apart from Ray Allen who is close to the defense, the other four Celtics defend the perimeter of the paint area, which is a typical breakthrough defense position.
The chance of breaking through is obviously very low, Su Yang's eyes signaled, and little Qiaodan tacitly ran over to set up a wall to cover.
Ray Allen was completely blocked.
Su Yang took the opportunity to move out, and at the same time continued to observe the defensive changes, and found that Perkins chose to follow the delay, while Jordan opened up and cut in and encountered Garnett's defense. Randolph got the chance to catch the ball in the paint and immediately jumped up. , Vigorously straight plug.
Randolph received the ball steadily, and Garnett returned to the defense instantly, and Pierce also contracted from the elbow area to pinch.
The Celtics' defensive skills are undoubtedly revealed. In a hurry, Randolph couldn't even hold the ball firmly.
"To Jordan, to Jordan..." Su Yang shouted.
Before the words were finished, Randolph casually raised his hand and tossed the basketball past Garnett's cheek.
Jordan stretched out his hand to grab the ball, took a big step forward and jumped to the basket, stopped abruptly and dunked with both hands.
BOOM!The basketball exploded into the net.
Cheers erupted in the arena, and Randolph beat Su Yang's chest with a smile.
In the transition between offense and defense, Rondo ran across the center line with the ball, raised his right hand high and called for a tactical move.
The Clippers temporarily gave up the zone defense and switched to man-to-man. Blake retreated directly to the free throw line, completely emptying the top of the arc.
Rondo didn't dare to shoot, his eyes were fixed on the baseline, and his eyes shifted from left to right.
Su Yang suddenly shouted: "Right, right..."
Hearing the sound, Blake moved his footsteps and quickly moved laterally to his right elbow, blocking Ray Allen's line of receiving the ball in advance.
Ray Allen sped away, rushed two more steps to the free throw line, raised his hand to receive the pass from Rondo, and shot when he pulled it up.
The basketball flew over the fingertips of Su Yang and Blake, and sank into the net with a bang.
"YES!" On the Celtics bench, Nate Luo Bingson stood up and applauded, but he was the only one.
Tony Allen glanced at it with a bored expression, as if to say 'basic operation, no need for 666'.
"Hey, you said Ray Allen, his ability to catch and shoot is really the best in the league today. He runs extremely fast, and the time from catching the ball to shooting is also very short. He jumps very steadily. , the general situation is really difficult to prevent.”
"The Thunder's Durant is also very good at catching and shooting. Before the Clippers defended him, he used big men to delay the attack in advance, but the Celtics have Garnett who can cut and attack the basket, and Rondo's pass accuracy And court vision is slightly better than Westbrook, so the Clippers will be more troublesome to defend Ray Allen this time."
On the court, Su Yang ran to the left wing with the ball.
Jordan set up the wall in advance as a positioning screen, Su Yang circled to the top of the arc and passed the ball to the right wing.
Blake received the ball and subconsciously wanted to pass the inside line, and Rondo directly shrunk and oppressed the space for receiving the ball.
The Clippers' offense stalled, and Su Yang immediately started running up, ready to take the ball and reorganize.
The Celtics team shifted their defensive center of gravity to the right, Su Yang turned around immediately after receiving the ball, and passed the ball to the top of the arc.
Barnes just ran to the position, took a half step back after receiving the basketball, and flew towards Pierce.
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 9 to 4.
"The Celtics moved too hard inside, and the Clippers played outside. Su Yang is so smart."
"Pierce probably didn't expect that Barnes would make such a decisive shot, so he hesitated to defend."
In the transition between offense and defense, Rondo quickly advanced to the top of the arc with the ball, and Ray Allen went around to catch the ball in advance.
The price of going around in advance is that the running distance is too short, Su Yang easily goes around the cover to complete the interception.
But Ray Allen turned around and started to the right, with the help of Garnett's second cover, he walked the sideline and rushed.
Randolph switched defenses and chased after Ray Allen, and the Clippers' defensive formation gradually shrank to the basket.
Ray Allen rushed all the way to the short corner, suddenly jumped off the ground, turned around in the air and threw the ball out.
Garnett took the ball from the three-point line, faced Su Yang's single defense, and chose to turn around and pass the ball towards the top of the arc.
In Su Yang's eyes, this kind of movement is like slowing down to four times the speed, and it seems that the air friction can be seen.
He flew forward, slapped the basketball, ran forward, grabbed it in his hand and started running wildly.
"Come on!" Several Chinese stars shouted in unison, and the cheers in the arena exploded like thunder.
In three seconds, Su Yang rushed to the basket, but failed to get rid of Rondo who was closely chasing him.
He didn't stop walking, and passed the ball behind his head in the air, and Rondo missed it.
Blake, who followed up, received the basketball and took off on the spot. Before he could make a shot, Garnett flew up to block the shot.
Beep!The referee whistled Garnett for a foul.
"Okay, great!" Van Gundy applauded excitedly.
Compared with two free throws, making a Garnett foul is more beneficial to the Clippers.
The referee quickly completed the arrangement, and the Clippers re-kicked off from the sideline of the front court, and the audience cheered and shouted.
Blake took the ball at the top of the arc and immediately threw it back to the left wing. Barnes came in to catch the ball, turned around and passed the short corner.
Su Yang took the ball and lowered his center of gravity to wait. Barnes ran past him and moved along the baseline to the right half.
Randolph immediately stepped forward to set up a wall as a screen, Su Yang immediately started to walk out, and suddenly threw the ball to the free throw line.
Jordan took a slight step to catch the ball, and immediately lobbed a pass to the left baseline, just where Randolph ran.
Randolph took the ball and rushed to the basket, the three Celtic players formed a siege instantly, and there was a Rondo on the outside who was watching, but Randolph protected the ball by his waist, and then threw it vigorously to the right side bottom corners.
Barnes bent over to catch the ball, faced Rondo and flew to cover the defense, raised his hand and threw the ball to the right wing.
Blake received the ball steadily, and amidst the cheers of the audience, he calmly shot a wide-open three-pointer.
bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 12 to 4.
The whistle sounded in the arena, and the announcer notified the Celtics to request a short timeout.
"Smart, really smart, let the Celtics defend the inside, now it depends on whether you make adjustments..."
