Chapter 343: Shooting a basketball is like eating and drinking
After hitting the first three-pointer of the game, Ray Allen's artillery seemed to be filled with a lot of gunpowder in an instant, constantly stimulating his three-pointer.
One, two, three, four!
After shooting 0 of 6 three-pointers, Ray Allen hit four consecutive three-pointers. On the third three-pointer, Adrian had completely put aside Paul Pierce, who had little energy left, leaving it to
He caught Maurice Evans, who was thrown away by Ray Allen, and pounced on Ray Allen.
But even so, Adrian still couldn't stop Ray Allen's three-pointer, especially the fourth time. Adrian's palm had completely blocked Ray Allen's sight, and his outstretched fingers were stretched out to penetrate.
’ into the eyes of Ray Allen. Except for not blocking the shot, Adrian has done everything he can do, but even so, Ray Allen still shot the shot calmly.
Basketball in hand.
His shooting is as natural as breathing.[
Although he tried his best to defend, Adrian who landed on the ground was still helpless when he heard the crisp sound of "swish" coming from behind him. He didn't need to look back, and the cheers that penetrated the sky rang out from the North Bank Garden.
Adrian has been told the result of this goal. Obviously, Ray Allen's touch has been completely ignited after constant hitting, and the defense has been unable to stop his scoring momentum.
Stan Van Gundy decisively called a timeout after Ray Allen hit his fourth three-pointer. He had no tactics to arrange, just to interrupt Ray Allen's scoring momentum. Stan Van Gundy knew very well that once he was beaten by Ray Allen
What would be the result if a pitcher of Len's level took off the ball? Before the start of the series with the Celtics, Adrian had discussed it with Stan Van Gundy many times. Although from the bottom of his heart, for Adrian
Ann was so worried about Ray Allen's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals and didn't quite agree with it, but Stan Van Gundy still listened to those opinions.
Sitting on the bench, a glass of Gatorade was handed to Adrian. After taking the drink cup and taking a big sip into his mouth, Adrian raised his head. Although Paul Pierce was tortured by himself
Life is worse than death, but Adrian's own physical exertion is also very huge. Although the Orlando Magic's physical condition is much better than that of the Celtics, in such an intense game, Adrian will still feel his physical strength after three quarters.
There is some strength in the calves.
The score on the court is now 68:69, and NBA's customary home team is in front. Ray Allen hit four consecutive three-pointers, instantly shattering the score advantage that Adrian had managed to gain some time ago. And look at Ray Allen's
With his posture, he had no intention of stopping at this point. He might also be thinking of taking advantage of this wave of offense to overtake the score and regain the Celtics' advantage.
"Ed. How are you feeling? Can you continue to play?" Seeing Adrian sweating profusely, Stan Van Gundy became a little nervous. Adrian's role in this Magic team is replaceable.
If Turkoglu is not injured, Turkoglu can still bear part of the pressure, but after Turkoglu is injured, the biggest responsibility must be shouldered by Adrian.
Normally at this time, Stan Van Gundy would have replaced Adrian from the field early. Even if the situation may be repeated, Adrian must have enough energy for the fourth quarter. But in this situation today
But it doesn't work, because the situation on the field is too anxious. Both sides are almost equal. As long as they gain a slight advantage, they will soon be regained by the other side.
In this case, Stan Van Gundy did not dare to replace Adrian off the court at all. Because he was afraid that once Adrian came off the court to rest and the Celtics suddenly exerted their strength, the Orlando Magic was likely to collapse. Likewise.
The reason is that the Celtics also dare not replace the Big Three at such a critical moment. Everything depends on who can't hold on first.
This final is not only a contest of strength, but also a confrontation of will.
"I don't have a problem." Adrian shook his head, indicating that he didn't have a big physical problem: "The key is Ray Allen, we can't let him continue to score like this. Coach, let Millsap play.
Although his speed is not fast, Paul Pierce can't run at this time. Garnett obviously focuses on defense. Replacing him can also enhance his rebounding ability. As for Ray Allen..."
When talking about Ray Allen, Adrian paused for a moment. The drink cup made an overwhelmed creaking sound in his hand: "Leave it to me to solve it."
Kwame Brown was replaced, and the Orlando Magic replaced Paul Millsap, a pocket power forward with a height of only 203 centimeters, to defend Kevin Garnett. Stan Van Gundy replaced Carlos Arroyo.
Maurice Evans, Adrian can't come off the field now, and if he can save a point of energy, he will have a better chance of winning.
After re-appearing, Carlos Arroyo took on the task of dribbling the ball across half court. After dribbling the ball past half court, he immediately transferred the basketball to Adrian's hands with a ground-breaking pass. Carrying Paul -
Pierce and Adrian drove toward the basket fiercely and bumped into each other several times. Paul Pierce, whose physical strength was greatly exhausted, could not resist Adrian's powerful impact, and the defense had basically collapsed.
Kevin Garnett immediately pounced to cover up the defense, but Adrian was only one step away from the basket. He turned around and stuck Paul Pierce behind him so that he could not interfere with him. Adrian faced him.
Kevin Garnett jumped up. With a big pull of the lever, Adrian glided as if he had a shotgun behind him, dodged Garnett's fierce block, and dunked the basketball with his backhand.
into the basket.
After landing, he staggered back two steps before Adrian regained his footing.
No matter what, the most important thing now is to score more points than the Celtics. Only in this way can the Orlando Magic have a chance to win the game.
Back in the backcourt, Adrian's defensive target became Ray Allen, who had a hot hand.
"You won't have any chance to score easily." Following closely behind Ray Allen, Adrian gently placed a hand on Ray Allen's waist, feeling the strength of his body: "I
I will keep an eye on you!"
"Really?" Ray Allen suddenly turned around and smiled, then suddenly rushed forward, taking two steps beyond the three-point line. Rajon Rondo's pass reached Ray Allen's hands immediately, and Adrian
He quickly followed up and saw that Ray Allen was fully prepared to shoot. Adrian immediately slammed his feet on the ground and jumped high.
Adrian's judgment was not wrong. Ray Allen did take off and shoot the basketball in his hand, but his shooting arc was high and floating. Even if Adrian stretched his arms desperately, his straight fingertips were still not enough.
Touch the bottom edge of the basketball.[
"This goal will not go in!" Adrian judged. It was obvious that Ray Allen deliberately raised the shooting arc in order to avoid being blocked by himself. This kind of thing often happens on the court, and the unfamiliar shooting arc
It will drastically reduce the hit rate. It can be said to be the biggest wrong choice for pitchers, but it is also the most common wrong choice for pitchers when they are about to be blocked.
but……
Bang bang...
The basketball hit the backboard and then hit the edge of the rim. It jumped high with backspin, and then, in full view of everyone, the basketball swished into the basket.
The goal actually went in, and Ray Allen hit his fifth three-pointer. More importantly, at 71:71, with Ray Allen's three-pointer, the Celtics once again tied the score tenaciously.
.
"I can hit a three-pointer with any kind of arc." Ray Allen looked at Adrian who turned his head in surprise and smiled: "For me, shooting is like eating and drinking, and it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter whether I use a knife, fork or chopsticks."
Calm and simple words reveal Ray Allen's strong self-confidence.
Some players like to roar loudly to promote their own characteristics. But players like Ray Allen always smile and deliver cold fatal blows! (To be continued.)
