The Clippers attacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan made a three-pointer against Ray Allen.
Rondo was angry. He yelled at Ray Allen: "Hold on tight. How could you guard his three-pointer when you were so far away from him?"
"How about you come?"
Ray Allen was also angry. He ignored the tens of thousands of spectators and countless cameras and recorders and directly fought back.
It’s no wonder he’s so angry, after all he is one of the Big Three and an All-Star player. When he was awesome, Rondo didn’t know where he was.
No matter what he did well or not, it's not Rondo's turn to criticize.
What's more, Ray Allen doesn't think there's anything wrong with his choice.
Keeping up is easy to say, but if you really do that, Zhang Zhiyuan will break through frequently, and it is not easy to completely follow Zhang Zhiyuan.
Rondo also had a bad temper. He rushed to Ray Allen and yelled: "I'll do it, I'll do it, you loser."
Ray Allen couldn't bear the humiliation and pushed Rondo's face away.
It was only then that Pierce and others realized something was wrong and ran to pull them apart.
This scene also made the audience dumbfounded. The Celtics actually had internal strife, and it happened during the game. It was simply unbelievable.
Internal strife during games is relatively common on the football field. After all, football has relatively high requirements for cooperation.
"Oh, what happened? Rondo and Ray Allen almost got into a fight?"
Smith said in surprise.
"It's all Zhang Zhiyuan's fault. This guy broke the opponent's mentality."
Buckley analyzed.
At this moment, Celtic fans are as disgusting as eating shit, and other neutral fans are a bit gloating. You can never have too much of this kind of excitement.
On the court, the farce quickly subsided. After all, neither Ray Allen nor Rondo wanted to make matters worse on such an occasion.
When the Celtics attacked, Ray Allen threw the ball away in an angry manner, and the attack was very simple.
The ball didn't go in.
Back on the defensive end, Ray Allen went to guard Livingston.
Rondo actually ran up to Zhang Zhiyuan, and Zhang Zhiyuan didn't know how to comment on this guy's actions.
Long Duo only weighed more than 80 kilograms, but Zhang Zhiyuan weighed 100 kilograms, which was a full thirty or forty kilograms more meat.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't even bother to make any fancy moves, he just ran inside and caught the ball and played from behind.
He pushed Rondo away easily, then turned around and made a jump shot, which was a solid hit.
As long as the opportunity is good enough, I don't mind a two-pointer.
Seeing Rondo deflated, Ray Allen felt much relieved.
During the transition between offense and defense, Rondo took possession of the ball and passed the ball to Garnett without even looking at Ray Allen.
Garnett once again singled out Hayes and missed a mid-range jumper.
His output is just like this, with a hit rate close to 50%, and he misses more times.
When the Clippers attack, Rondo should defend Zhang Zhiyuan.
When Smith saw this, he couldn't help complaining: "Is Rondo just trying to get angry? What's the point of playing like this? The offensive team makes complicated tactical moves just to get a chance to hit the mismatch. It's better for him to take the initiative."
"It's better to double-team, otherwise Zhang Zhiyuan will look like he's out of position when he hits anyone. Those who are taller than him are not as fast as him, those who are faster than him are not as strong as him, and those who are almost as fast and strong as him are not as skilled as him."
Buckley made a summary and concluded that Zhang Zhiyuan was almost invincible in a single fight, but he still had to be double-teamed.
Zhang Zhiyuan scored again.
Facts have proved that Rondo is not good either. The previous points loss cannot really be blamed on Ray Allen.
Rondo was more or less sober and knew that he couldn't prevent it.
But there is no other way. He is too embarrassed to ask Ray Allen to switch back at this time, which would be a loss of face.
In the next round, Pierce stepped forward to help Rondo double-team.
Zhang Zhiyuan could no longer play from behind and withdrew from the three-point line.
The two followed out. Maggette immediately made a cut when he saw this. Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball and scored two more points.
Clipper company
After scoring continuously, the Celtics' defense was like paper.
This is of course not their true strength, it all comes from Rondo's defense changes.
Let Ray Allen defend him, and maybe Zhang Zhiyuan can score points efficiently, but he won't be able to score every goal like he does now.
Halfway through the first quarter, 10 to 19, the Clippers scored almost twice as many points as their opponents.
Rivers couldn't bear it and called a timeout, angrily yelling at Rondo.
"What the hell are you doing? Who arranged for you to guard against Zhang? Do you have what it takes?"
In just one sentence, Rivers cursed three or four times.
"Enter House."
After training, Rivers pushed Rondo to the bench.
Both sides return to the court and the game continues.
Ray Allen returned to Zhang Zhiyuan again, and Zhang Zhiyuan chose to pass the ball to his teammates.
He was the one attacking the team just now, so he was physically exhausted, so he had to take a break.
Livingston broke through with the ball and rushed to the basket but was blocked by Garnett.
In the transition from offense to defense, Eddie House threw a three-pointer and hit.
This season, he averaged only 7 shots per game, but averaged 5 three-pointers per game, shooting 44% from the field.
However, back on the defensive end, he has become a loophole, and even Livingston can bully him.
After Livingston broke in, he had to face Garnett's assisting defense. It was a bit difficult to attack the frame. He chose to pass the ball to Thornton, who jumped up and shot the ball.
The Celtics attacked, House and Ray Allen ran outside the three-point line, Zhang Zhiyuan and Livingston were forced to chase away, and the basket was very empty.
After receiving the ball, Pierce turned around and broke through, passing Maggette for a layup.
The two sides fought back and forth for several rounds. Although the Celtics were still slightly at a disadvantage, it was much better than the collapse just now.
"Londo had better not overestimate himself too much."
Buckley commented.
Rondo's statistics look very good, 118. However, most of his assists are card-dealing assists, which rely heavily on the personal abilities of the Big Three.
Unlike Zhang Zhiyuan's point-and-ball assists that rely on his own breakthrough to attract double-teams, the gold content is different.
"The team will play better without him. He needs to calm down and reflect."
Smith agreed.
As far as players are concerned, Rondo and Ray Allen are naturally incomparable now, so most people are siding with Ray Allen and blaming Rondo for the mistake just now.
In the second quarter, Rivers sent Rondo again.
He can't really abandon Rondo, after all, Rondo's defense is much better than Eddie House.
After playing again, Rondo became much more honest and did his job calmly.
Of course, no one knows what he is thinking in his heart.
Zhang Zhiyuan only learned from the system's hatred value reminder that this guy actually hated him, but this was a good thing for Zhang Zhiyuan. He wished that most of the players hated him.
The game continued and the Celtics returned to their normal level.
But because the hole they dug was too big, by the end of the first half, they were already 15 points behind.
During halftime, Rivers got angry in the locker room.
This time it wasn't just Penrondo, even Ray Allen was not spared.
After all, Ray Allen is also responsible no matter what.
Listening to Rivers's roar, Ray Allen suddenly became disheartened and lost his mind.
He has no hope of winning the championship if he stays with the Celtics, and his relationship with his teammates is not good. The fans have criticized them a lot, and the media has continued to criticize them.
In short, he was not happy after coming to the Celtics.
If he had known this would happen, he would have stayed on a bad team to improve his statistics and get a Canadian contract.
"Forget all this, we need to unite to win..."
Garnett also regretted it.
Not only him, Pierce also regretted it.
They failed to win the championship last season, and the formation of their Big Three was a complete failure.
After failure, various problems continue to surface.
In the second half, the Celtics tried to counterattack. On the surface, they seemed to have returned to normal. Rondo even passed the ball to Ray Allen.
But it was useless, Zhang Zhiyuan used his offense to resist their counterattack.
As the game time becomes shorter and shorter, the Celtics' hope of comeback becomes smaller and smaller.
With 4 minutes left, Barkley declared the Clippers' victory in advance.
Fans who wanted to see Barkley get slapped in the face were disappointed. The game really went in the direction he predicted.
In the end, the Celtics narrowed the point difference to single digits, but the game time also ran out.
At the end of the game, 102 to 111, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Celtics.
So far, the Clippers have defeated the Lakers, Cavaliers, and Celtics three championship teams.
This means that even though the Clippers' lineup isn't great, they won't suffer a loss against a strong team. At least they have a chance to win.
"Do you think the Clippers have a chance to compete for the championship?"
Smith asked the question.
At the beginning of the season, everyone was discussing whether the Clippers could make the playoffs. But after more than a month of games, the topic turned to whether the Clippers were a championship contender.
What's even more outrageous is that Barkley admitted it without hesitation. He said: "Of course, and the hope is great. If it is against the Cavaliers, both sides are single-core, and the Clippers will not suffer, so they will only be on the bench. Zhang Zhiyuan will play
It will take a long time to solve it. As for playing the Celtics, everyone saw it in today's game. As long as the Clippers can break out of the Western Conference, the possibility of winning the championship is quite high."
What Barkley didn't say is that breaking out of the Western Conference is not as simple as winning a championship. After all, there is a five-star Laker in the Western Conference.
"If the Clippers can win the championship this season, the gold content will be too high. They will definitely win the championship with one core."
Smith sighed.
Their discussion made Clippers fans so excited that they even began to imagine the Clippers winning the championship this season.
"We were talking about rebuilding, but why did we suddenly switch to the topic of winning the championship?"
One Clippers fan couldn't help laughing after realizing what he was thinking.
Other Clippers fans also laughed along. From rebuilding to winning the championship, this surprise does not need to be translated, this is a fucking surprise.
During the post-game interview, both Rondo and Ray Allen attended the press conference.
"Is there any conflict between you and Ray Allen?"
the reporter asked.
"No, we just had some differences when we were working together. We all want to win, that's all."
Rondo said that this is crisis public relations required by the team and must not admit that there are conflicts, otherwise various trade rumors will appear.
Although the formation of the Big Three has already been a failure, as long as we persist and win the championship, there is still a chance to turn around.
But if the Big Three are dismantled now, it will be a real failure, and Anji may be fired as a result.
Seeing that the reporter could not get any valuable information from Rondo, the reporter changed his direction and targeted Ray Allen.
"Alan, whose problem do you think is this time?"
the reporter asked.
"We all have responsibilities, we're a little too impetuous, we're too impatient."
Ray Allen said.
The reporter's provocation failed and he continued to ask: "Are you happy playing in Boston? Have you ever thought about leaving Boston?"
"That's a matter for the management. I haven't thought about this problem."
Ray Allen avoided talking about it, which is already a very obvious signal.
If you don't want to leave, you must firmly say that you like Boston and want to win a championship for Boston.
However, Ray Allen did not commit to staying in Boston.
The reporter still wanted to ask, but Rivers chose
Interjected and asked reporters to ask questions related to this game and not to go off topic.
"So, let me ask Mr. Rivers, what is the reason for losing this game? Why do you always lose when you meet Zhang Zhiyuan? Have you studied the tactics to deal with Zhang Zhiyuan? Are you sure you can lead the team to the championship?
"
The reporter asked a lot of questions very rudely, and Rivers almost jumped out of anger.
"There are many reasons for losing. Losing is normal. We have also won many games. We are still second in the Eastern Conference."
Rivers said angrily.
"If we aim to win the championship, second place in the Eastern Conference is not something to be proud of."
The reporter reminded.
In the end, the press conference ended in an unfriendly atmosphere.
At the Clippers press conference, Zhang Zhiyuan was asked about Ray Allen's attitude.
Zhang Zhiyuan said: "I think Ray Allen should leave. After all, he can't win the championship if he stays with the Celtics."
He remembered that Garnett seemed to be injured this year, and then his strength dropped to the level of 147, and became weaker and weaker.
Last season was the Celtics' best opportunity. If you miss it, it will be gone.
"Then which team do you think Ray Allen should go to to have a chance to win the championship?"
The reporter continued to ask.
Zhang Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said helplessly: "Other than coming to the Clippers, he seems to have no chance. However, the Clippers have no reinforcement plan, so I suggest that Ray Allen should become the core of a weak team and enjoy basketball.
I have to win the championship.”
What he said was a shame, but no one could do anything about it.
Zhang Zhiyuan continued: "It's not just Ray Allen, some other stars should also adjust their mentality and stop thinking about the championship, otherwise they will be very depressed."
"Why?"
the reporter asked.
"Because most of the future championships will be won by me. If they aim for the championship, they will probably fail. There is no way. It is a tragedy to live in the same era as Jordan, and it is also a tragedy to live in the same era as me."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
Who dares to say that people like Karl Malone and Barkley are not strong, but they just can't win the championship. This is their tragedy.
After hearing Zhang Zhiyuan's pretentious words, the reporters were very satisfied, and there was no shortage of hot news in the following period.
