Chapter 105: Celtics who insist on self-destruction (Happy New Year)(2/2)
The Shark grabbed the rebound, turned around and handed the ball directly to Li Ke next to him.
The counterattack was launched again, but once again failed to show the threat that many people imagined.
The Celtics' rapid retreat quickly stopped this counterattack.
But after falling into the position, Li Ke found the right time to give the ball to the old shark. The old shark hit a near-frame, turned around and hooked it quickly, and with a swish, he successfully hit it!
"The counterattack failed. In the positional battle, Shaq hit a hook, 6-2!"
Rivers frowned on the sidelines.
This wave of defense and counterattack problems are gone, but the Celtics have dropped by at least two or three levels in defense in positional battles.
After removing Perkins, kg could only defend the basket. Percy was an expert in single defense, and Pierce and Gentleman Lei were good enough to defend alone. The only Celtics can make up for defense and assist in defense is Rondo.
But the problem is that Rondo is a point guard. Although he has the nickname of Long Center, his body is here. It is impossible to rely on him to make up for defense and assist in defense and quickly attack!
No one assists in preventing the defense, and this chain defense has long been in name only.
Siberdu shrugged and reminded Rivers: We always have to choose one bottle to drink two bottles of poison.
Rivers nodded, stood on the sidelines and shouted again: Rotation faster! Patch defense faster!
If Li Ke knew about Siberdu’s reminder and Rivers’ deep opinion, he might have laughed out loud, two bottles of poison? Whether it was Rivers or Siberdu, he still couldn’t react at this time. One of the so-called two bottles of poison was false...
With a clang, on the court, the Celtics' attack hit the iron again.
This time it was kg, and the iron-blooded shot failed. The Bobcats easily protected the rebound and then launched a counterattack.
The same process: the counterattack failed, turned to the position, Lao Ai broke into a Celtic, and the rotation and pinched attack accelerated, and the wings missed Li Ke.
Then, Lao Ai passed the ball and found Li Ke in the open position.
"Sheldon, catch the ball, three-pointer!"
Swish—!
...
No one could have thought that the Bobcat actually took half a quarter to beat the Celtics 16 to 9.
"A 7-point lead in the half-quarter, after the racial discrimination incident, the Bobcats seemed to passively turn on a button of explosion, g1 defeated the Celtics, g2 continued to suppress the Celtics..."
Off the field, neither Siberdu nor Rivers have yet to realize the essence of the problem.
The backwardness of half a quarter was attributed to them: "Without Kendrick, our position defense is too bad!"
"Or what if, let Kendrick go back? Let's drink another bottle of poison?"
Rivers asked a try, but the defensive expert was Siberdu, and he was just asking Siberdu for advice.
Siberdu shook his head: "No, Doug, we can't give up halfway, let Tony go, Paul plays the fourth position, we will further strengthen the defense of the wings, and change the position defense to the joint defense to human-to-people."
The joint defense can no longer be prevented, because Lao Ai's breakthrough in the middle is too sharp, and Lao Shark's singles at the basket can't be stopped by kg.
If you change to human-to-peer gaze, maybe there is still a little chance.
In this way, in an extremely important playoff game, the Celtics continued to try defenses of one, one, four, and four.
After people were styling, the Celtics were very strong in defense against Lao Ai.
But the problem is that the old shark at the basket is still a point that the Celtics cannot solve, and Li Ke and Hua Lao Er also took turns to steal chickens.
At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats' lead was further opened.
"31 to 22, away games, not threatened by visiting fans and racists, the Charlotte Bobcats took a 9-point lead!"
“As Sheldon said before the series started, he wouldn’t lose even a game at North Shore Garden Arena, it looks like he really has to do that!”
In the second quarter, facing a larger score difference, Rivers and Siberdu were already in a difficult situation.
"People-to-peer has been successful, and the only exception is Shaq, but it is difficult for Shaq, who is 36 years old, to stick to the end of the game, so Doug, stick to it."
Rivers nodded and continued to believe Siberdu's judgment.
However, he added: "Chain Shark, this is the best way to deal with Shark."
Cutting sharks refers not only to fouls on old sharks. In addition to fouls, it also also to find more sharks on the offensive end, consume the energy of the old sharks, and strive to create fouls on old sharks.
Just persisted and took a two-pronged approach. In the second quarter, the Celtics really achieved such a little effect.
With a score of 56 to 46, the Bobcats only expanded their lead by 1 point in one quarter.
This allowed Siberdu and Rivers to see the "dawn" of victory, and Li Ke to see the hope of winning this hard battle.
"The Celtics actually insisted on being one of the first and four young people? Is this going to self-destruct to the end?"
