Chapter 373 James and the Celtics
"3:2! The Bobcats point to the Eastern Conference Finals!"
"Will the next fight be the Cavaliers or the Celtics?"
The Bobcats easily won the battle against the Pistons at Tianwangshan. In the first game, people did not see the spirit they should have from the Pistons. Just after the first quarter, the Pistons gave up their dreams.
But no one will blame them, even the most demanding Pistons fans, because they know that these veterans are really tired. They have no hope in the Pistons and they are also tired of this kind of plot that repeats every year. Said that it has changed from glory and persistence to a kind of torture, so when they really choose to give up, everyone can understand that they really should take a rest.
So are the Pistons.
Before everyone recovered from their sentimental emotions, they were attracted by the more exciting game next door. The battle between the Celtics and the Cavaliers entered a fierce battle. They were also engaged in the battle of Tianwangshan. Attracting everyone's attention, we must know that if James hadn't led the Cavaliers to defeat the Celtics in two home games to tie the total score in the previous game, the Cavaliers would have no chance to fight the current Tianwangshan battle. It is said that James' ability now is beyond everyone's expectations.
The old Rivers never thought that James could develop his post-up and shooting. You must know that last year James would be taught by Pierce in the post-up area, but now James can hit Pierce in the low post and use a Remember to turn over the jumper to solve the offense.
This kind of James is the strongest player, and it is also the player that caused the Celtics the most headaches, because they suddenly found that the tricks prepared for James last year were no longer available, forcing him to try mid-range and long-range shots?
Well, as long as you give a chance, James dares to shoot, and he can hit the test balls given by the Celtics with a super high shooting rate of 45% per game. In the fourth game, James' six three-pointers directly defeated the Celtics. People are desperate, they have done well enough, but who would have thought that James has evolved so fast, every time the Cavaliers attack James is giving the Celtics a problem, whether to choose to give him shooting space or to break through space.
This entanglement of choosing one or the other caused the Celtics' defense to really fall into chaos, so that the league's first defense would allow James to score as many as 37 points per game and successfully revitalize the team. This is too difficult. Believe it.
And entering the most critical battle of Tianwangshan, the Celtics have clearly strengthened their defensive thinking. They cannot let James go up the line. Every time James attacks, they will press hard. Let him go to the bottom line and Garnett to block. His passing route had a great impact on James' personal offense. At the end of the half, they only allowed James to score [-] points, but James had six assists, which is the price they paid.
"It's a good way to let James go to the bottom line, but once Garnett comes out, O'Neal, who was originally squeezed inside, will have a chance to breathe!"
"This big shark has been targeted by the Celtics in the past few games! If he defends alone, the Celtics' inside line will be blown up by him. As long as the Green Army's inside line does not pinch O'Neal, then the Cavaliers' ball will definitely If it hits O'Neill, will the awakened shark kill the Celtics?"
Stotts looked thoughtfully at the red-eyed and bloodthirsty O'Neal on the court. He knew that the Celtics were choosing to let O'Neal play singles with the ball. Although O'Neal was really old, he did so. It's tantamount to humiliating him. No team had dared to let O'Neal catch the ball within 5 feet of the basket before, but now the Celtics dare.
"This Kevin's defense speed is really fast!"
Stotts, who was still a little confused at first, saw that Garnett, who was still double-teaming James on the baseline just now, blocked the big baby from left to right when O'Neal received the ball and was about to force the big baby. The O'Neill, faced with the pincer attack of the two, did not intend to pass the ball anymore. He was defended by the Celtics and averaged only [-] points per game. This is something he O'Neal can bear.
Not much to say, just take the ball and do it. O'Neal is not too old to even hold the ball, and the Celtics are happy with it. If O'Neal does this every time they attack, they simply let the big baby Defending against O'Neal alone, saved until O'Neal couldn't play anymore and passed the ball to James.
This is the true thinking of the Celtics. They would rather let O'Neal fight one than see James control the overall situation. It is really terrifying. No one wants to guess what James is going to do next. Or to attract double-team passes, or use shots to kill the game, he has too many choices. With such a wealth of offensive weapons, the Celtics have been tortured by James and have a nervous breakdown.
"Gao, what do you think of this game?"
Seeing that Gao Tian was completely immersed in the game and didn't hear his question, Stotts repeated it again before waking Gao Tian up. He glanced at O'Neal who made a foul on the poor big baby under the basket, and Gao Tian touched it. Chin said: "Although I really want to play the Cavaliers, the fact is that the Celtics have always been the one that is sure to win in this round of the series. If it weren't for LeBron's sudden berserk, the Celtics are already considering us now. "
Hearing this, Stotts nodded in agreement. This is indeed the case. If it weren't for James' sudden and terrifying shot, the Cavaliers would have no chance to hit Tianwangshan in this round of the series. O'Neal's continued sluggish performance It makes it impossible for the Cavaliers to compete head-on with the Celtics. In addition, O'Neal is obviously red-eyed. Although he has scored 30 points now, it should be noted that James has not scored for nearly 8 minutes. Yes, the ball belongs to O'Neal.
This is the scariest point. In view of O'Neill's character, the Celtics arranged this tactic for him, and now it seems that they will succeed soon.
There is no suspense in this game.
"Oh my god! It's another lore!"
The Bobcats who just wanted to leave looked at the excited Bobcats assistant who suddenly barged in. Everyone was shocked when they heard his words. There is indeed another game today. Is that the Lakers vs. Rockets? !
"Lore? What's the situation? Is it Kobe? Or McGrady?"
Everyone quickly turned on the TV, watching the ball being played on the big screen in a loop, everyone opened their mouths and looked at each other. This, it's the Rockets again, there will always be someone who can stand up to save the team at a critical moment!
