Chapter 150: Insufficient strength, use props to make up
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan started at the same time, one grabbing position under the basket and the other running without the ball from the outside.
Both of them need to focus on defense, and the Celtics also have a headache.
James Posey was a little slow in chasing Zhang Zhiyuan, and then Zhang Zhiyuan received the pass and prepared to take off.
Percy pounced on him, but Zhang Zhiyuan didn't jump, he ducked sideways, and then took action again.
The ball goes in.
36 to 35.
The Celtics attacked and Garnett scored a jump shot from the basket.
36 to 37.
The Lakers counterattacked, Zhang Zhiyuan continued to run outside, and this time Pierce withdrew from the basket, ready to defend at any time.
Pierce withdrew from the basket, Cassell guarded Fisher in the corner, Posey chased Zhang Zhiyuan on the outside, and the Celtics only had Garnett and Tony Allen left in the position.
This was obviously not enough, and Odom easily got an open opportunity.
Fisher passed the ball, Odom made a jump shot and the ball went in.
38 to 37.
In comparison, the Celtics' offense was not so smooth.
The basketball passed around in the hands of several people, and finally Pierce made the move.
The Lakers counterattacked and hit again, 40 to 37.
The Celtics then replaced Ray Allen and Rondo to strengthen their offensive firepower.
Rondo controlled the ball past halftime and continued to observe the actions of his teammates.
Ray Allen suddenly started, throwing away Kobe and cutting to the basket. Rondo passed the ball in time, and Ray Allen caught the ball and made a layup.
Although Bynum pounced, it was useless. Ray Allen could also pull the lever. It was not too difficult for him to dodge Bynum in the air.
The ball goes in.
40 to 39, both sides played very anxiously.
The Lakers attacked, and Garnett withdrew from the basket and stood near the free throw line.
This allows him to retreat to the basket to guard Bynum at any time, and also allows him to take care of Odom.
Fisher passed the ball to Bynum. Bynum didn't know he was in danger and jumped up rashly. As a result, Garnett appeared behind him and blocked the ball.
Compared with experience, Bynum is still too green in front of Garnett.
When the Celtics attacked, Ray Allen started a step too slowly with the ball and was entangled by Kobe Bryant.
Ray Allen was forced into singles with the ball.
His singles ability is not bad, but facing Kobe, Ray Allen still has some difficulty.
Finally, he reluctantly took the shot and missed.
Garnett grabbed a valuable offensive rebound and scored the second attack.
On both ends of the offense and defense, Garnett played a wonderful performance, and the fans at the scene were shouting and screaming.
However, this does not affect the Lakers. They have established their invincible confidence this season.
The Lakers attacked, and everyone started moving to disrupt the Celtics' defense.
The Celtics had a headache. Although they had to focus on guarding Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan, they couldn't ignore others approaching the basket or running into open spaces.
The Celtics' defensive formation was disturbed. Zhang Zhiyuan ran out of the opportunity in the chaos, and then shouted for the ball.
Fisher passed the ball, Zhang Zhiyuan made a shot, and the basketball scored.
43 to 41.
Lakers fans laughed.
No matter how impressive the Celtics were just now, their statistics are not as good as the Lakers.
After scoring this goal, Zhang Zhiyuan's personal score has reached 16 points, half completed, and it looks promising.
This was something Garnett and Rondo couldn't accept, and they began to put more energy into marking Zhang Zhiyuan.
As for other people on the Lakers scoring points, they can only turn a blind eye.
Under the Celtics' strategy, it would be difficult for Zhang Zhiyuan to get a shot.
It's not that he can't find opportunities to shoot, but his opportunities are not as good as those of his teammates.
Since there is a better choice, Fisher cannot deliberately pass the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan to challenge the difficult situation.
Ever since, Zhang Zhiyuan didn't take any action next.
However, the Lakers' scoring momentum is quite good.
At the end of the second quarter, the score was 57 to 50, and the Lakers were already leading by 7 points.
This is a big advantage. If the Celtics don't find a way, this game will basically be lost.
However, this is within the acceptable range of Garnett and others. As long as Zhang Zhiyuan's scoring is limited, they will be satisfied.
"Are the Celtics giving up the game?"
Barkley complained.
Maybe ordinary fans can't see the changes on the field, but Barkley obviously can.
He felt that the Celtics fell behind in the second half of the second quarter purely because they attached too much importance to Zhang Zhiyuan. If they played like before, they could be evenly matched with the Lakers.
"Maybe, after all, winning or losing this game will not affect their ranking."
Smith said.
"It will be difficult for Zhang Zhiyuan to score 32 points. At that moment, he couldn't even find a chance to shoot."
Buckley said.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who makes this guy so unpopular?"
Smith laughed.
James is a good person and can get along well with everyone. Even if he wants to score points, his opponents will not try their best to stop him.
Zhang Zhiyuan, on the other hand, deliberately made an enemy of Garnett, offended the entire Celtics, and deserved to be targeted.
After hearing their analysis, Zhang Fan was a little anxious.
Some excited Zhang fans have even begun to greet Garnett and others, but there are also some Zhang fans who don't care about Barkley's analysis. They just believe that their idol can do it.
Not long after, the second half of the game started.
The Lakers fielded a full lineup, and so did the Celtics.
Even if they are not prepared to win, they are still trying their best.
Seeing his opponent's posture, Zhang Zhiyuan was too lazy to be polite to his opponent and directly used a prop, King of Movements.
[King of Movement: Increases the host's movement speed and physical strength by 20%, has a 10% chance of forcibly throwing away the opponent, and has a 5% hit rate when shooting in an open position.]
This is a prop specially used to break double teams. It not only accelerates but also increases physical strength.
Although the 10% probability of forcibly throwing away the opponent is not high, it is an opportunity once it occurs.
The props looked pretty good, but it was Zhang Zhiyuan’s first time using them and he didn’t know the actual effect.
The game started and the Celtics attacked first.
Pierce moves.
They have not completely given up on winning. If there is hope, they also want to win. So on the offensive end, they have not given up their efforts.
Zhang Zhiyuan chased after him, and Garnett was overjoyed when he saw this.
It would be nice to let Zhang Zhiyuan run and use up some energy.
Rondo also passed the ball to Pierce, allowing Pierce to single on Zhang Zhiyuan.
Pierce chose to play with a back, pushing Zhang Zhiyuan toward the basket.
Zhang Zhiyuan knew that the other party was consuming him, but he had to guard against it.
Zhang Zhiyuan fought and retreated, holding on for a while.
Pierce then turned around and shot a jumper, but the ball missed.
Continuous thrusting consumes too much, and he can't even catch his breath when he strikes, so it's normal for him not to thrust forward.
Bynum protects the rebound and the Lakers attack.
Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball, and Pierce chased him. After two steps, he found that he could not catch up.
At this time, Fisher had already passed the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan, and Zhang Zhiyuan completed the shot.
The ball goes in.
60 to 50.
"I'll give you a piece of advice: don't enter the finals. Don't enter the finals. This way you can avoid being humiliated by me many times."
Zhang Zhiyuan said mockingly.
These words were so unflattering that Garnett clenched his fists and Rondo responded like a shrew by swearing.
The Celtics attacked, and an angry Pierce attacked with the ball.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan made a jaw-dropping move. He got out of the way, walked to the sideline, walked next to Rivers and said: "I won't let the game be spent too early."
Pierce scored a layup and scored two points, but he was not happy at all because the goal looked like Zhang Zhiyuan let them.
"Fake Squid."
"Fuck him to death."
"You're dead."
The fans at the scene were offended by Zhang Zhiyuan's provocative behavior, and it was so obvious that they felt extremely humiliated.
The fans were furious, and Garnett was secretly complaining.
In this way, they cannot ignore winning or losing, they must defend their home court.
But defeating the Lakers will never be so easy unless Zhang Zhiyuan lets it go in every round.
"Oh buy it."
Smith.
"You really deserve a beating. If the Celtics still can't win, the Big Three should just disband."
Barkley complained.
"Cool, this is Zhang, this is why we like him."
Lakers fans were very excited.
The Lakers have won too many games, and it's hard to get them excited just by winning. But now Zhang Zhiyuan's behavior of provoking and humiliating his opponents makes Lakers fans very excited.
The game continues, the Lakers attack.
The Celtics returned to their normal defensive strategy and did not dare to surround Zhang Zhiyuan with all their strength. After all, they needed to win now.
There was nothing wrong with their choice, but now Zhang Zhiyuan has cheated.
Pierce alone is obviously unable to stop Zhang Zhiyuan.
After Zhang Zhiyuan sprinted and suddenly turned, Pierce fell out of the group and fell behind Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball and Pierce pounced on it.
He pounced too hard, failed to stop the car, and pounced on Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan threw the ball out, the referee's whistle sounded, and Zhang Zhiyuan stepped to the free throw line.
"mean."
"Dirty players."
"Inglorious bastards."
The fans at the scene yelled angrily, as if Zhang Zhiyuan's fouling was something treasonous.
Zhang Zhiyuan was not affected and made 3 of 3 free throws.
63 to 52.
The Celtics attacked, but Zhang Zhiyuan did not continue to let off steam, lest the Celtics players lose control of their emotions.
If a fight breaks out, his plan to gain points will also be affected.
Pierce failed to break through and chose to distribute the ball. Ray Allen received the ball from the outside and shot toward Kobe, scoring a three-pointer.
As a member of the Celtics, Ray Allen was also angered by Zhang Zhiyuan's actions and played very hard.
The Lakers attacked, but Pierce still couldn't catch up.
Rondo saw this and went to help. Fisher dribbled the ball to the basket, but was blocked by Garnett.
Fisher was careless and was very upset after being blocked.
In transition between offense and defense, Garnett shot a short two-pointer and missed.
It's time for the Lakers to attack again, and the Celtics are facing a formidable enemy.
Pierce's physical decline was too bad for them, and they had to invest heavily in Zhang Zhiyuan again.
Ray Allen approached Zhang Zhiyuan's position, Kobe cut directly to the basket, and Fisher passed the ball.
Kobe made a layup, and Garnett wanted to block one.
It's a pity that Kobe is not Fisher, and it can be easily solved with a pull rod.
The ball goes in.
65 to 55.
The Celtics attacked, Garnett caught the ball, and Bynum stepped forward.
Then Garnett passed to Perkins, who scored a layup.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan threw away Pierce. Facing Ray Allen's blockage, he changed direction. He threw away Ray Allen again and slipped through the crowd into an unguarded position.
"Good guy, with his running skills, I'm afraid he would be a good player in football."
Sun Zhengping said with emotion.
"Not to mention, if he plays football, he will definitely play well. He has enough strength and speed, and his height is an advantage. And watching him kick the ball into the basket with his feet in the All-Star Game shows that he has a good feel for the ball.
It’s very top-notch.”
Zhang Lili couldn't help but analyze it.
This statement was recognized by many fans.
On the court, Zhang Zhiyuan has already completed his shot.
In this open situation, Zhang Zhiyuan's shooting rate is very high, and there is no suspense this time.
The ball goes in.
68 to 57, the Lakers firmly hold the advantage.
Zhang Zhiyuan's personal score has also reached 25 points, which is very close to the goal.
James turned off the TV when he saw this, knowing that he was out of luck.
There is still more than one quarter left, and it is impossible for Zhang Zhiyuan to not even score 7 points. This is absolutely impossible.
On the court, the Celtics counterattacked, and they seemed to be a little anxious. Rondo made a layup on his own and went over the bridge. The basketball flew directly over the basket, which made everyone laugh.
Odom picked off the rebound and the Lakers counterattacked.
Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed, but he took action fearlessly.
The ball didn't go in, but it's not a big problem. His efficiency is already very high.
The Celtics counterattacked and missed again. The Lakers attacked and Fisher's pass was intercepted by Rondo.
This guy can be considered a thief, and he successfully carried out a sneak attack.
Celtic counterattacked and scored.
68 to 59.
The Lakers failed offensively twice in a row, but these are small things.
Zhang Zhiyuan continued to run, catch the ball, and shoot.
The ball goes in.
71 to 59.
The Celtics were forced to call a timeout.
There is no way, Zhang Zhiyuan's scoring method is too efficient and cannot be tolerated at all.
However, although Rivers called a timeout, he had no good solution.
He just brought on substitute forward Leon Bowie, replacing Perkins.
Lyon has enough physical strength to chase Zhang Zhiyuan.
Garnett can step into the center position and attract the Lakers to attack.
If the Lakers choose to let Bynum play the main offense, the Celtics would have no objection at all.
The Celtics attacked, and the new Lyon was very active and ran directly to the inside.
Zhang Zhiyuan did not follow up in order to make a better fast break.
Rondo passed the ball and Lyon scored a layup under the basket.
71 to 61.
During the transition between offense and defense, Lyon clung to Zhang Zhiyuan.
Although he is not as fast as Zhang Zhiyuan, the entire stadium is only a little bigger.
After Zhang Zhiyuan got rid of him, he immediately caught up again without giving Zhang Zhiyuan a chance to catch the ball.
From a defensive perspective, this guy actually did better than Pierce just now.
Zhang Zhiyuan failed to catch the pass, but it doesn't matter, Zhang Zhiyuan is not the only Lakers player.
Kobe caught the ball inside the three-point line, broke through, threw and scored.
73 to 61.
During the transition between offense and defense, Garnett hit Bynum in isolation under the basket. With more flexible steps, he swayed Bynum again and then completed a layup. Due to various problems, the address has been changed to please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
