Chapter 178 Let the newcomer attack(1/2)
Pierce has always felt that God is fair, but at this moment he really felt that God was so unfair!
Lin Ri's physical fitness made him feel sore instantly...
This inside line is out of bounds!
Pierce is a person who can recognize "coward".
Just in this way... Ariza can cause huge interference to his defense.
When you can shoot suddenly, I have to worry too much. Now that you have made it clear that you don’t want to rush inside, why can’t it be difficult for me to defend you? Then do I still need to be known as the league’s first-line wing defender?
Pierce felt the defensive pressure from Ariza for the first time.
This is a bit frustrating. You clearly know that the opponent's ability cannot defend you, but now you are still being restricted in the face of his defense. This may be called...the happiness of having teammates, right?
Pierce had this realization at this moment.
Another person who showed enlightenment is Ray Allen.
But his understanding is different from Pierce's.
What he realized was...my teammate was passing the ball! Didn't you see that I was already in the open space? Pass the ball!
Ray Allen is in a hurry!
This kind of urgency is something you don't see often.
Because Stephen Curry just hit another two-pointer.
After the timeout, Stephen Curry scored the ball first, which made Ray Allen, who had calmed down after drinking a bowl of "chicken soup", become anxious again.
He felt that his position was clearly open several times, but because his teammates did not pass the ball in time, he did not take a shot before Stephen Curry.
"Bang!"
However, as a pitcher, you really can't be anxious. The ball that Allen finally got was struck again.
The Celtics' second and third positions were thus restricted.
The Suns successfully opened the point difference to double digits at the end of the first quarter.
"Good job, man! You guys are awesome!"
Gentry's voice seemed particularly loud in the silence of the audience.
However, after high-fiving the Suns players one by one, his expression did not become relaxed, but instead became more serious.
For a team like the Celtics, iron blood and toughness are their hallmarks. Against such a team, don't expect that a lead of about 10 points will keep them at bay. This is absolutely impossible!
Moreover, the Celtics' bench rotation this year is not bad, and the Suns may not necessarily be able to take advantage at the beginning of the second quarter.
He had to make some arrangements.
Since Stephen Curry performed very well against Ray Allen tonight, Gentry simply used him as the starter. Ray Allen, who has played the entire first quarter, should be resting off the court.
, in this case, Gentry will have to let Stephen Curry rest off the court.
The Suns' bench rotation only has one ball-carrying core left, Dragic.
The offensive tactic arranged by Gentry was for him to play a pick-and-roll with Robin Lopez.
This is the tactic where Dragic can best play his role.
Unfortunately, even if Gentry arranged the tactics in this way, it was the Celtics' substitute rotation that took the lead at the beginning of the second quarter.
The effects of the Green Army's previous transactions were fully reflected in this game.
The quality of the combination of Rasheed Wallace and "Little Potato" Nate Robinson in the substitute rotation stage is too high.
The Suns are particularly dependent on Dragic's performance. When he can pass the ball, the Suns' offensive firepower is also very strong. But when he cannot pass the ball, it becomes a "four people with arms akimbo watching"
Play ball with him”!
Such is the case tonight.
Gentry had no choice but to put the Suns' starters back on the court at 1:54 of the second quarter.
Again, the Celtics are a very resilient team. When they gain momentum, they will become even more difficult to deal with.
Now the guys on the Celtics bench are gradually gaining momentum, which makes Gentry afraid to give Dragic more time to try.
The Suns' starters returned to the court.
However, only Lin Ri and Steve Nash returned to the court, while the other starting players continued to rest off the court.
But that's enough!
In just a few rounds, the Suns gradually regained control of the situation on the court.
Dragic is still much worse than Steve Nash.
From these rounds, it can be seen that "Little Potato" can gradually disrupt the situation on the court when facing Dragic, but when facing Steve Nash, he is a bit "confused" and offensively
Seems extremely impatient.
"Substitute, substitute!"
As soon as Rivers took one look at the situation, he immediately put the main players back on the field.
When Gentry saw that there was a change of starting lineup, he immediately brought Stephen Curry and several other main players on the bench who were still on the bench in the first quarter.
When Ray Allen saw himself on the court and Stephen Curry standing up from the bench, the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously.
what?
Do you really regard this guy as my "nemesis"?
Ray Allen is very angry!
"Whoosh!"
But it was useless for him to be angry. After returning to the game, Stephen Curry scored a goal before him.
Stephen Curry was in really good shape tonight!
"Nice!"
Steve Nash, who was passing the ball to Stephen Curry, ran over to give him a high-five.
This picture made the Suns fans in front of the TV and watching the game on the Internet feel happy. This picture is really beautiful!
Just keep growing like this!
Rivers watched the Suns successfully score another goal, and suddenly couldn't help it. He turned his head and looked at the assistant coach Thibodeau beside him.
"Dude, think of a way!"
"I think we can change the angle." Thibodeau felt that he was missing a fan, "Now we can neither limit the Suns' offense, but will also be restricted by the Suns' defense!"
"We might be able to force some changes in their offensive tactics..."
Rivers didn't say anything, but the look on his face said something - what the hell are you talking about! Why are you taking a tactical class with me here?
Are you still throwing bricks and mortar?
"We can force the Suns to put the ball in the hands of the sun and let him attack!" Thibodeau expressed his thoughts.
After hearing this, Rivers' entire expression suddenly became much brighter.
He thought it was a good idea as soon as he heard it.
A large part of the reason why the Celtics are so difficult to beat now is because of Lin Ri. His defense against other Suns players is really good.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that even the Celtics' Big Three had a very difficult time facing the Suns' defense with him as the core of the defense.
Rivers has never had such an idea, but now he has the idea: This season may be the last chance for the Celtics' "Big Three"!
It's no wonder that he would have such an idea. In fact, Lin Ri, who is only in his rookie season this year, can already play such a role in the Suns.
Give him a little more time, and when the "Big Three" are one year older, the Celtics will take the lead against such a Suns team!
However, that’s a story for another day!
The current situation is not that bad yet.
Lin Ri is not that strong yet!
At least it can now be controlled through some means.
Just like what Thibodeau said.
Force the Suns to pass the ball to Lin Ri and let the newcomer play the offensive end.
Although this guy has offensive ability, it can be seen from his past offensive methods that his shots are not unlimited.
To put it bluntly, he is a "cake-eating man" with the highest configuration!
Just forcing the ball into his hands, with the offensive skills this guy has shown before, it is almost impossible for the Suns to defeat them by himself!
Of course, this is not the most important!
The most important point is - this way, this guy should no longer be able to maintain such high-intensity concentration on the defensive end!
The Celtics can recover on the offensive end...
To be continued...
