Chapter 478: You call this a three-pointer that cant kill the game!
Go, go, go, then, pull it up and shoot!
It doesn't matter whether it's accurate or not, whether it's efficient or not, as long as it can bring the rhythm of the game to the offensive game, the Thunder can hold the Celtics within seven inches.
"Westbrook dribbled the ball across half court, but was stopped by Rondo's pressing. Seeing him rushing out of the sideline, Billups went to respond, received Westbrook's pass, and controlled the rhythm.
Obviously, the Celtics will not follow the Thunder's intention to speed up, use pressing and close confrontation, interrupt the Thunder's offensive, and position the battle..."
Bang bang, bang bang…
Billups controlled the ball to the top of the arc, and others opened up the space. At this time, the Celtics' defense was in a difficult situation.
They don’t know how to do this!
The question is about the chain defense they defend and the area they take care of, the most important one is inside the two-point line.
The three-point area is basically the shooting state where I bet you there are no bullets in the three-point pistol.
"Su Bei sank to the left three-point corner, and Durant pulled to outside the 70-degree three-point line. Both positions are painful points for breaking the zone defense.
Although Westbrook's shooting on the right side is poor, the offensive threat on the left side is great. If he is prevented, the chain of their zone defense will be broken. Distributing the ball to Westbrook as a breakthrough point is enough for the Celtics.
One pot, it depends on how the Celtics choose..."
How else to choose?
They also want to be good and defend the offensive area of the three-point line, but their lineup is too old, their mobility has been lost, and the defensive area cannot be expanded. If they go out, they will most likely not be able to come back. They will only
Falling into a passive situation of focusing on one thing and losing another.
They had no choice but to stay in the two-point area and ignore the Thunder's three-point threat.
Seeing the Celtics' attitude of not coming out, Billups was not in a hurry. He distributed the ball to Durant on the left side and took the ball to pose as a triple threat. Pierce came out to switch defense.
"Durant stepped forward, retracted his feet, and dribbled the ball to the right to break through.
Pierce moved to the right, immediately hit the ball to the left with his right hand, changed direction and broke through to the left. Pierce shifted his center of gravity again, and Durant continued to change back to the right to break through...
After entering, Pierce was stopped in his tracks. Durant rushed to the paint area. Facing the help of Garnett and Ray Allen, he jumped up and threw the basketball to the left three-point corner. Su Bei received the ball.
When it's empty, lift the ball and raise your hand to shoot a three-point jumper..."
Garnett turned around and rushed toward Su Bei. After two steps, he saw that Su Bei had completed the shot. He could only listen to the sound of the gunshot. He turned to face the basket and prepared to grab the rebound, but heard the crisp sound of the net brushing.
Swish——!
"The three-pointer went into the net.
Beautiful, Su Bei's three-point shot was a solid hit.
The Celtics' zone defense has difficulty taking care of three-point shots from the bottom corner.
If Garnett is out, and Pierce can't stand up to Durant alone, two bottles of poison are placed in front of them, and the choice of which bottle is the same..."
The word death in capital letters!
7 to 2!
While returning to defense, Su Bei and Durant high-fived each other.
The successful attack just now made them realize that just relying on the two of them to attack together, they could beat the Celtics defense to death!
Off the court, Rivers looked solemn. He had no cards in his hand and still had no good ideas.
We can only hope that what Lu Xun said is true.
Three-point shots can't kill the game!
Logically speaking, zone defense is based on this truth. The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage!
On the contrary, the further away from the basket, the lower the shooting percentage will be.
With a low shooting percentage, how could a three-pointer kill the game?
Don’t panic, Lu Xun’s words are not wrong!
Soon, he frowned.
Are you Thunder polite?
This is copying their defensive work in person!
At the same time, I was filled with joy inside.
You see, the truth that Lu Xun said is even recognized by the Thunder. The Celtics will not have no chance. When it comes to regional defense, they are the elite!
"Ray Allen took advantage of O'Neal's screen and ran to the left. He missed Pierce's screen and avoided Su Bei's switch. He ran out of the open space and received Rondo's call. He made a 65-degree three-pointer from the left.
Outside the line, pull up the ball and try to respond to a three-point jump shot..."
Su Bei continued to pounce on Ray Allen, while others retreated to grab rebounds.
They struggled to score goals, but they didn't panic.
Bang-dang——!
"The three-pointer missed, and Ray Allen's decline in condition was too obvious.
This season he only averaged 14 points per game. Once upon a time, when he didn't come to the Celtics, he averaged 26 points per game!
Those who show off their crotch only have half of their previous strength."
"Westbrook grabbed the rebound, immediately switched from defense to offense, and rushed up with the ball. When he saw Su Bei crossing the half court, he immediately pushed with both hands and sent the basketball to the frontcourt.
Ray Allen and Su Bei were racing, sprinting almost parallel to compete for the basketball passed to the frontcourt.
Su Bei concentrated on accelerating and surpassed Ray Allen visibly. The explosive power of the 37-year-old old man v26 can't compare to that of the young man..."
Seeing that he was being overtaken by Su Bei, Ray Allen gritted his teeth and burst out, trying to crash into Su Bei and using his experience to block the position. Su Bei didn't tolerate him and overtook him directly in the corner, and got the basketball in the paint area.
It's a pity that he rushed too fast and couldn't stop the car. Su Bei controlled the basketball and braked again. Ray Allen had already rushed to the basket.
"The Thunder's opportunity for an empty basket was gone. Su Bei entered the paint area, stabilized himself, and took the ball out.
What the hell?
Su Bei dribbled out of the left three-point baseline. Without waiting for his teammates to come back, he turned around and picked up the ball. He raised his hand and made a blind three-point shot. This was so random... Oh, my God!
In!
Three points scored!
Skilled people are so bold!
Su Bei's three-point shot was so beautiful that he regained the missed scoring opportunity and gave him two points, which turned into three points..."
10 to 2!
The score difference became 8 points.
You call this a three-pointer that can't kill the game?
Su Bei's three-point shot ignored the protection of his teammates' rebounds and actually went in.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not only is it extremely lethal, it is also extremely insulting. This is a very heart-wrenching blow!
You know, the Celtics have the Big Three...no, the Big Four or the Big Five. What they rely on to win is defense.
The offense has no system, and the defense has a chain defense.
Accurate three-point shooting is also the biggest weapon to break the zone defense. Subei only needs to stand in the bottom corner, how can they defend?
Even if the defense is not good, the most disgusting thing is the offense. The Celtics also encountered difficulties.
"The defensive problems have not been solved, and the offensive problems have also emerged.
The Thunder still don't talk about martial arts and continue to defend the zone. What they are doing is a zone defense two or three meters away. In other words, it is a zone defense of five defenses and four. I ask you, do you still have the best method?
Is there any law..."
So disrespectful.
Regardless of whether others can bear it or not, Rondo, who has the appearance of a superstar and is very conceited, cannot bear it.
I saw that Rondo did not take a three-point shot, but dribbled the ball through. After being defended by Billups and Westbrook, he immediately pulled up the ball and shot a two-point pull-up jumper...
Billups couldn't reach him at all. Even though Rondo was shorter than him, his wingspan was inhumanly long. He could only listen to the gunshot and block shots as much as possible to interfere.
In fact, Billups' actions were redundant.
Whenever Rondo shoots, he is no longer called Rondo. If he doesn't shoot, how can he grab rebounds?
"Bang Dang——!
Rondo's breakthrough shot, the basketball bounced out of the basket.
Fortunately, Rondo grabbed the rebound, dribbled out, and reorganized..."
The Thunder continued to ignore Rondo's shooting threat from the outside and tightened their defense.
Rondo didn't make any more moves. He dealt a new card and turned over Garnett's card.
"In the low position on the left, Garnett picked up the ball with his back, Durant pulled up close to him, stretched out his hand to cover the basketball, and Su Bei retrieved it to double attack.
Garnett passed the ball to Pierce at the three-point line, and Su Bei rushed back. Pierce broke through with the ball. Seeing Billups coming to defend him, Su Bei also rushed in front, chose to pull the ball up, and raised his hand for two
A quick-stop jump shot..."
Swish——!
With his hand raised and the knife dropped, Pierce withstood the pressure and scored two points strongly.
10 to 4!
“Very nce!
Pierce stood up and used a precise mid-range shot to help the Celtics stop the bleeding in time.
This goal was scored very timely, giving the Green Army the confidence to win.
The offensive problem has been solved for the time being. Next, let’s see how the Celtics break the Thunder’s ‘Dusu Combination’ combined offense...”
Dusu, Tongyin means "poison to death"!
In other words, these two bottles of poison are very poisonous. Drinking either bottle will mean death.
However, before the Celtics could figure out a way, their defense was broken by the reckless Westbrook.
"Rondo faced Westbrook with the ball and broke through. He couldn't resist it, so he had to foul and send him to the free throw line.
The Thunder's offense is not only unsolvable with the Dusu combination. The original Dewey combination is also an unsolvable problem. It's too difficult. The Celtics really don't know how to do it..."
Amid the boos in the entire arena, Westbrook showed no mercy when faced with the question of scoring points. He made two free throws and scored two points.
12 to 4!
When it comes to offense, the Thunder don't care about the Celtics scoring, because they don't score as much as the Thunder.
The rhythm of the game continues to be controlled by the Thunder.
After all, the Celtics have been a championship-winning team for several consecutive years and are very good at seizing offensive opportunities.
"Rondo continued to pass the ball to Garnett. After being flanked by Su Bei and Durant, he immediately passed the ball to Pierce to break through.
As soon as Billups' help came over, Pierce passed it back to Rondo as a basketball, and the latter rushed in with the ball, and then casually sent the basketball into the sky..."
Bang-dang——!
O'Neal Jr. made an alley-oop and dunked with both hands, his whole body hanging on the basket.
12 to 6!
"Beautifully moved the ball, made a reasonable breakthrough and distributed the ball, and then scored by blowing up the basket.
The Thunder's weak rim protection was exploited by the Celtics.
At this time, the Celtics' lineup is the same as before, but after all, it is the lineup of the Big Five, so it is not so easy to defend.
Whether it's guarding Garnett alone or Pierce alone, it's always a difficult problem..."
The personal threat of superstars in singles has declined, but they still understand the principle of 1 1 1 = 3. Superstars accumulate advantages one by one in singles, and finally deliver a fatal blow, still targeting the Thunder's weaknesses. What do you take?
Come to support?
You can't stand it!
Seeing how reasonable and effective the Celtics' offense is, even if they can't score, they can still rush for rebounds and score a second shot...
The Thunder also realize that it is unrealistic to quickly widen the point difference, and they don't panic. They just work hard to play their own rhythm and basketball, and let the bullets fly for a while.
Westbrook continued to break through with the ball, but when he saw Rondo pressing close to him, he still did not pass the ball. Instead, he got reckless with Rondo's body.
"He hit the two-point line recklessly, Westbrook changed direction, pulled the ball up, and took the ball to meet the man for a three-step layup.
Hey, Rondo fell down.
The referee's whistle also sounded..."
Is it to hit someone with the ball? Or to block the defense? It affects the direction of the game.
After all, Rondo has already committed one foul. If he gets another foul, Westbrook or other Thunder players can make a fuss about the number of fouls Rondo gets.
As long as Rondo is knocked out and there are four old ghosts left, the speed on the court cannot be increased or decreased at will, and the Thunder team cannot choose at will!
“The referee was very considerate and ruled that Westbrook hit someone with the ball.
This is the advantage of the home whistle. In addition, it is also reasonable to award defensive fouls..."
Westbrook held his head in disbelief.
But the verdict has been decided, and since he doesn't have a superstar whistle, he can only endure it.
Next, the Green Army has the ball.
Still passing the ball to Garnett, Su Bei continued to flank him and passed the ball to Pierce to break through.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! “What?
With a back pass, Pierce passed the ball to Ray Allen, who ran without the ball from the right side to outside the 60-degree three-point line on the right side. He got the ball empty, took a look, and faced Su Bei's rush to block the shot.
Raising his hand is a three-point jump shot..."
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Ray Allen took a three-point shot and hit it accurately.
12 to 9!
"Here we go, the Green Army's tenacity is not bad, and the score difference has become 3 points.
The Thunder are still too young. If they want to take over the Green Army, they must be prepared for a long-term battle..."
"Ray Allen is the bottom line of the Celtics' outside firepower and cannot be underestimated. After all, that person is called Ray Allen, even though he is old.
But when it comes to three-point shooting, everyone else is a younger brother..."
In the 11/12 season, although the Thunder only averaged 14 points per game, their three-point shooting percentage reached 45, which was almost the peak of his career. When Curry did not become the abnormally accurate Kurri, Ray Allen
If you dare to say second place, no one dares to say second place.
The Celtics' offense also opened up the situation.
In the next game, on defense, they broke through and strengthened their defensive intensity. Obviously, the whistle just now allowed the Green Army to test the referee's whistle.
Moreover, Westbrook also gave a lot of opportunities. The foul error just made the Green Army attack. His mind went into fever mode and he wanted to get back the lost points. He just ran into the tough defense deployed by the Green Army.
.
"Westbrook broke through with the ball and was driven to the sideline by Rondo. Ray Allen and Garnett also rushed over to flank him.
Westbrook is very tough, pulling the ball against the defense and trying to draw a foul..."
As a result, I voted three no-sticks.
The referee's whistle did not sound.
Westbrook had no choice but to show his confusion with his hands.
The rhythm of the game is very deep, and the Thunder can't control it just by signing Su Bei and Billups.
It is very difficult to control the rhythm of the game with those old guys in the Green Army.
His reading and understanding of the game is obviously not as good as that of the hardcore players in the Green Army.
The game entered the rhythm of the Celtics.
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
Fortunately, the Celtics' players' decline in form is irreversible. Even if the pace of the game is reversed, it will be difficult to gain much offensive benefit.
Instead, the Thunder began to use their physical talent to kill randomly.
Whether it was Durant or Westbrook, the Green Army's formation was unable to withstand the rush.
The talent is so terrifying, you can do whatever you want.
The Green Army grasped the rhythm of the game, but could not grasp the talent of the Thunder's explosive combination.
After the first quarter, the score was 26 to 17. The Thunder turned away and took a 9-point lead.
Su Bei made 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists. At the beginning of the game, he was almost the most handsome guy on the court.
However, when Durant and Westbrook took over the game, they immediately became walk-ons.
Of course, as long as Su Bei stood on the court, the Celtics did not dare to look down upon him and had to send someone to take care of him.
This also gives the opportunity to the explosive combination of Durant and Westbrook.
Durant made 3 of 6 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 7 points and 2 rebounds.
Westbrook made 3 of 7 free throws, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 8 points and 2 assists. His performance was just okay.
The Green Army put on a blacksmith show.
Rondo was 1 of 5, Ray Allen was 1 of 4, Garnett was 2 of 5, Pierce was 2 of 4, O'Neal Jr. was 1 of 3...
Such shooting efficiency is of no use even if it catches the rhythm of the game and fails to score points.
