The two teams jumped the ball, and the Celtics sent Garnett.
Garnett gave the ball to his side, and the Celtics attacked first.
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately put attribute chains on Pierce and Garnett.
Pierce is a direct opponent, and Garnett's help defense is also relatively strong, so he must be weakened as much as possible.
[Pierce's current hatred is 220, absorbing 7% of his attributes. Garnett's current hatred is 550, absorbing 9% of his attributes. ]
Zhang Zhiyuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Garnett's resentment against him to be so great. The hatred against him reached as high as 550 before the game even started.
You must know that many players cannot generate such high hatred after being humiliated, provoked, and ridiculed by Zhang Zhiyuan on the court.
550 Ah, Zhang Zhiyuan suspected that if he mocked Garnett a few more words later, this guy might not be able to help but take action.
Rondo passed halftime while patting the basketball, and then patiently waited for the Big Three's opportunity.
Their pace against other teams was also very slow, and it was even slower against the Lakers.
I would rather miss the shot than let the Lakers counterattack.
Ray Allen is running, Garnett is fighting for position under the basket, Pierce and Zhang Zhiyuan are huddled together for physical confrontation, trying to consume Zhang Zhiyuan's physical strength.
Among the Big Three, Garnett is undoubtedly the one who is most likely to have a chance. After all, he is facing Hayes.
Rondo threw the ball to Garnett, who used his height advantage to shoot a jumper.
Hayes' jump interference was invalid and the ball was scored.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan received the ball from the outside and Pierce followed up. Garnett's attention was also on Zhang Zhiyuan, ready to pounce at any time to double-team or make up for defense.???.
Zhang Zhiyuan started to break through, and Pierce moved his steps to prevent Zhang Zhiyuan from advancing.
Although Pierce's speed is much slower than Zhang Zhiyuan, it doesn't mean that he can't guard against it.
Knowing that Zhang Zhiyuan was about to break through, Pierce did not lose his position.
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately changed his strategy and switched from a breakthrough to a step-back jumper.
Pierce rushed forward to interfere, but was a little slow.
Just a little slower, Zhang Zhiyuan completed the shot.
Pierce was helpless.
In order to deal with Zhang Zhiyuan, he sacrificed his offensive power and lost 2 kilograms under the guidance of his trainer.
At first he thought his speed was almost enough, but once he got to the competition, he found that there was still a tiny bit missing.
It’s too late to continue losing weight, and my body won’t allow it.
The ball goes in.
Zhang Zhiyuan got off to a good start, making his fans very excited.
The Celtics attacked, and Garnett wanted to grab position under the basket, but Hayes blocked his position and pushed Garnett outside the penalty area.
In a contest of strength, Hayes would not boo him.
When Rondo saw that Garnett had a bad chance, he immediately broke through on his own.
He succeeded and successfully passed Fisher.
However, there are still a lot of people under the basket, and he can't break through.
If it were anyone else, a pull-up jump shot would also be a good choice at this time.
But Rondo is not good. His short-range two-pointers are terrible, with only a 36% shooting rate.
His main method of scoring is layups around the basket, accounting for 50% of his total.
Just looking at his scoring hot spots, he really looks like a center forward.
Rondo stopped suddenly and threw the ball over Perkins' head, trying to let Perkins go for an alley-oop.
It's a pity that Perkins was held up by Bynum and couldn't jump up.
Rondo's pass turned into a turnover.
When the Lakers attacked, the Celtics retreated in a particularly timely manner.
Kobe held the ball and beat Ray Allen in isolation, constantly driving towards the basket.
This is not a good choice. Ray Allen may not be able to completely guard Kobe, but he can significantly reduce Kobe's efficiency.
Kobe arched a few times, then turned over and shot a jumper.
Ray Allen missed the block, but he didn't score the ball either.
The Celtics counterattacked, Ray Allen ran without the ball, and Kobe Bryant chased after him.
Ray Allen passed Rondo, and Rondo passed the ball hand-to-hand. After passing the ball, he blocked Kobe.
Then Ray Allen made a three-pointer, and Fisher pounced on it, but was a step too late.
The ball goes in.
3 to 5, the Celtics temporarily lead.
The Lakers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball, and Pierce caught up.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan was more skilled and was able to throw away Pierce while running.
Fisher passed the ball, but Garnett immediately stepped in front of Zhang Zhiyuan, leaned against Zhang Zhiyuan, and raised his hands high.
In this case, it would be difficult for Zhang Zhiyuan to take action.
He threw the basketball under Garnett's crotch and passed the ball to Hayes behind Garnett.
Garnett obviously didn't expect Zhang Zhiyuan to be so courageous, otherwise Zhang Zhiyuan would have made a mistake with just a pinch of his legs.
Hayes received the pass and took off from the spot.
This season he has practiced a jump shot on offense, and he is already at a certain level.
The ball goes in.
"You look so good when you surrender."
After the ball was scored, Zhang Zhiyuan did not forget to mock Garnett. The way Garnett raised his hands just now looked a bit like a surrendering soldier.
"Just wait for me, I won't let you succeed."
Garnett was not to be outdone.
The Celtics attacked, and Garnett continued to use his advantage to beat Hayes.
After receiving the ball, he broke through to the right.
Hayes had just set up a tough stance, but he didn't expect Garnett to break through with the ball.
By the time he reacted, Garnett had already passed him and reached the basket.
Then Garnett jumped up and completed a huge dunk.
"Oh."
Garnett howled and hammered his chest, and those who didn't know thought he had hit the buzzer-beater.
The Lakers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed with the ball, and then passed the ball to Hayes.
Garnett used his speed to retreat in front of Hayes. Hayes' shooting speed was too slow. Zhang Zhiyuan would have completed the shot long ago.
Of course, Lakers fans will not blame Hayes for this, after all, you get what you pay for.
Hayes passed the ball back to Zhang Zhiyuan, and Zhang Zhiyuan passed it to Kobe who slipped to the basket.
After receiving the ball, Kobe made a jump shot and the ball went in.
7 to 7, tied.
The Lakers scored again, but Rondo and others can accept it, as long as Zhang Zhiyuan does not score.
The Celtics attacked, Pierce singled out Zhang Zhiyuan and made a jump shot.
"I heard that you are attacking Kaleidoscope?"
Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
"..."
Pierce.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan also returned a shot.
The Celtics' defense is indeed very tight. Even if Zhang Zhiyuan has a chance to take action, his efficiency is greatly reduced.
It was the Celtics' turn to attack, and Pierce once again singled out Zhang Zhiyuan.
Although he knew that Zhang Zhiyuan's talk was rubbish, Pierce couldn't help but try to prove himself.
No one intervened, everyone just watched them one on one.
Pierce used what he had learned throughout his life and made a tentative move first, but Zhang Zhiyuan was not fooled.
Here comes another one, Zhang Zhiyuan has not been fooled yet.
Then Pierce's fake move came true, passing Zhang Zhiyuan in one step, getting close to the basket and scoring with a small floater.
Although it was very difficult to score, I finally made it.
"Well, not bad, it's 40% as good as mine."
Zhang Zhiyuan applauded and encouraged.
"..."
Pierce's excitement disappeared instantly.
When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly accelerated, threw away Pierce, then caught the ball and rushed to the basket.
Garnett muttered to himself, but did not use his body to intercept, fearing that it would become a backdrop.
Zhang Zhiyuan reached the basket, took off, and pushed the basketball in.
9 to 9, Zhang Zhiyuan’s personal 5 points.
This was a dangerous signal, and then the Celtics increased their defense against Zhang Zhiyuan, giving Hayes more opportunities.
Zhang Zhiyuan really wanted to take action by force, but was worried about efficiency.
Ever since, Kobe and Hayes took over the offensive baton and took action one after another.
However, Kobe's condition seemed to be relatively average today and he failed to take advantage of this opportunity to take the lead.
Zhang Zhiyuan was replaced and rested, and the Celtics immediately launched a counterattack climax.
They need to take advantage of this period, otherwise they will suffer a big loss when the substitute lineup comes.
After another two minutes of play, the Celtics led by 5 points.
Garnett was replaced and rested. He had to contribute on the offensive end, and he had to frequently assist on the defensive end, which consumed the most.
With Garnett's move, the pressure on the Lakers suddenly eased, but they didn't gain much advantage.
After a few more rounds, the first quarter ended.
22 to 27, the Lakers fell behind by 5 points.
22 points in a single quarter is an abnormal performance for the Lakers. Lakers fans can only hope for the advantageous time in the second quarter.
After the short inter-section break, both sides returned to the court.
On the Lakers side are Farmar, Zhang Zhiyuan, Ariza, Odom, and Kwame Brown.
The Celtics are Cassell, Tony Allen, James Posey, Garnett, and P.J. Brown.
After Cassel was traded to the Rockets, the Rockets bought out his contract to save money. Cassel then joined the Celtics for free for $240,000.
This is a bloody gain for the Celtics, and Cassell still has some gas left.
Seeing the Celtics' substitute lineup, Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but frown.
It's not easy to fight.
Although Tony Allen has not yet entered a mature stage, his defensive skills have begun to show off.
James Posey is known for his defense and is also a difficult character, so Garnett naturally needs no introduction.
Cassell and P.J. Brown are the only weaknesses in this substitute lineup, but it is not easy to directly attack these two weaknesses.
When the game started, the Lakers attacked first.
Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball, and Tony Allen followed up.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't even dare to stop. Once he stopped, Tony Allen would stick to him like a dog-skin plaster, interfering with his movements.
Zhang Zhiyuan finally received the pass, and James Posey immediately pounced to double-team him.
Zhang Zhiyuan can only pass the ball to Ariza.
Before Ariza could take action, Garnett stepped in front of him.
Ariza passed Odom, but Posey had already retreated to Odom's side.
Although the Celtics' defense was disrupted, at least they did not have any obvious loopholes.
Odom caught the ball and made a jump shot, and James Posey took off to interfere.
The ball didn't go in.
"Aaron's net worth is going to rise."
Buckley commented.
Tony Allen just did one thing, which was to pester Zhang Zhiyuan and make Zhang Zhiyuan uncomfortable.
But that's enough, there aren't many players who can do that.
"Do Celtic still have the money to extend his contract?"
Smith joked.
Judging from Tony Allen's performance just now, the next contract will be worth at least 10 million for three years. The Celtics cannot afford to be so generous for a substitute.
The Celtics attacked, and Garnett singled out Odom.
The Celtics don't have many tactics, they mainly use the Big Three in isolation, and then add a little bit of Rondo's pick-and-roll.
There are even fewer tactics for the substitute lineup, which rely on the players' personal abilities.
Garnett took two hits, adjusted his posture, and then took off for a jumper.
Odom jumped to interfere and the ball missed.
Odom is also a lanky player, so he won't suffer much against Garnett, not to mention that Garnett's strength has been weakened now.
The offense and defense switched, and Zhang Zhiyuan continued to be entangled.
Tony Allen's defensive motto is to engage in physical confrontation when the opportunity arises, entangle the opponent, make the opponent uncomfortable, and trade with the opponent.
It smells a bit like a mad dog.
Zhang Zhiyuan made a jump shot after catching the ball and scored.
Although the goal was scored, Zhang Zhiyuan also spent a lot of energy in order to score these two points.
The Celtics attacked, James Posey made a three-pointer, but the ball missed.
The Celtics' bench defense is adequate, but their offense is very poor.
Cassell is old, Tony Allen can only pick up the slack, James Posey's firepower is unstable, P.J. Brown just makes up the numbers, and he can only count on Garnett.
Therefore, only 2 minutes into the second quarter, Pierce was replaced, P.J. Brown was replaced, and Garnett moved to the center position.
Anyway, the Lakers' center is a parallel import, so the Celtics' choice is not a big problem.
The Celtics attacked, Pierce singled out Odom, turned around and scored the ball.
27 to 31, the Celtics maintained the lead.
The Lakers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball and passed Ariza.
Tony Allen followed and went around, and the speed of the pursuit was slightly delayed.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan received the pass and took off directly from the spot without delaying for a moment.
Tony Allen rushed from behind him and tried to block the shot, but unfortunately it was a step too late.
The ball goes in.
30 to 31.
The fans at the scene were suddenly a little discouraged. The team seemed to be playing well and making it difficult for the opponent, but it didn't lead by much.
This is also the characteristic of the Celtics this season. They basically have the upper hand in every game, but their lead is not much.
This is fine against other teams, but it is very dangerous against teams with explosive scoring capabilities.
The Celtics attacked, and Garnett relied on his flexible pace to bully Kwame Brown, then turned and scored a layup.
30 to 33, the Celtics still have the advantage.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball, but failed to get rid of Tony Allen.
After catching the ball, he was double-teamed and had no choice but to pass the ball to Ariza.
Fortunately, Ariza finally got his act together and hit a three-pointer.
33 to 33, the Lakers tied the score without knowing it.
During the transition between offense and defense, Cassel suddenly took action, squeezing Farmar away and getting to the basket for a layup.
This guy was silent for a long time, and suddenly he scored as soon as he made a move.
He only needs to average 2-3 points per game, which is a huge gain for the Celtics.
Then the Lakers also started to make substitutions, with Kobe and Fisher playing at the same time.
The Celtics can control their main force, and the Lakers can do it too.
"It feels a bit like the finals."
Smith commented.
Only in the playoffs can we play so hard.
"It seems that it will be difficult for Zhang Zhiyuan to score 32 points."
Barkley is still thinking about Zhang Zhiyuan's personal score.
At present, Zhang Zhiyuan has only scored 10 points, which is far from enough. If this trend continues, Zhang Zhiyuan has little hope. Due to various problems, the address has been changed to please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
