Chapter 225

Leonard faced Jayson Tatum again. Although the latter didn't defend very well, he had quick eyes and quick hands. If Leonard showed any flaws, he would definitely cut the ball.

Leonard protected the ball very well. He sat directly on Jayson Tatum's back. After two pushes, his step-back fadeaway hit the outside of the basket, but it went over.

"There is no way."

"Jason Tatum really can't defend. In fact, the Celtics don't have a player who can match up with Leonard. Although Leonard's singles skills or footwork are not very good, he prefers to shoot after the pick-and-roll, but his body is here. He is like an epee. Unfortunately, the epee has no front, but you can't do anything about it."

Jayson Tatum still holds the ball from the outside, allowing Robert Williams to play singles inside.

As soon as Jayson Tatum passed the ball in, the Clippers quickly double-teamed. After Robert Williams was double-teamed, he didn't dribble, so he didn't worry.

But the hands of Paul George and Morris kept interfering with his vision and interfering with his passing line, and Robert Williams had to pass the ball.

Leonard and Qin Ming on the outside began to take turns.

And just when Robert Williams made the pass, Qin Ming began to rotate, and Kemba Walker passed the ball back again.

The moment Robert Williams caught the ball, he made a fadeaway jumper and hit the board.

"This is impossible."

"Yes, because Robert Williams raised the ball, no one in the Clippers can reach it. And there is really nothing you can do about such a person playing dry pull with you."

Third round.

Qin Ming held the ball from the outside and let Zubac come out for a pick-and-roll. Robert Williams also defended the ball.

After switching defenses, Qin Ming looked for his own rhythm, took a dribble, followed by a shuffling step, and then passed Robert Williams directly with a speed increase, and ran to the inside to pick the blue at an extremely fast speed.

Robert Williams couldn't keep up at all, let alone other players who didn't dare to come up to help defend.

"The Clippers chose to challenge Robert Williams. Qin Ming made a layup after passing Robert Williams."

"The Celtics are still not playing well."

"Although your Robert Williams is indeed several levels higher than the Clippers in terms of frame protection, but if I pull you out, if you don't come out? If you don't come out, I'll shoot you. Qin Ming's shot alone is enough to deter the entire Celtics' offense. But once Robert Williams comes out, the Celtics have no one to protect the frame. Qin Ming breaks through, you help defend, I cut, catch the ball and dunk."

Jayson Tatum sluggishly passed halftime, organized the offense again, and chose to let Robert Williams come up for the pick-and-roll.

Because the only real big man in the Celtics lineup is Robert Williams, and his pick-and-roll effect is the best.

But after Robert Williams and Morris, although his perimeter defense is not particularly good, he is still considered a top-notch defense in the league.

Morris stretched out his hand, staring at Jayson Tatum's waist.

The latter used the dribble to force Morris back and prevented him from going too far, because Robert Williams made an air cut at this time. If Jayson Tatum also rushed in, then the Clippers' inside line would be a piece of fat to be slaughtered.

Jayson Tatum dribbled the ball on the outside, but the Clippers' defense was very strong. He couldn't find any good opportunities, and finally made a three-pointer with a step back.

But the ball hits!
"But! Everyone, keep your eyes open, I'm Jayson Tatum! Jayson Tatum once again responded to the Clippers' offense! Up to now, both sides have maintained a very high shooting percentage in this game, and each shot is more difficult than the other! Jayson Tatum's ball can be regarded as completely hitting the momentum of the offense!"

"Jason Tatum, this round of the series is really carrying the Celtics alone. Without him, the Celtics are simply birds without wings and can't fly at all. But with Jayson Tatum, the Celtics are even more powerful."

"Yes, although he lost a lot of points in the last two games, Jayson Tatum averaged 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists per game, and he is among the top three in the scoring list."

"Let's see how the Clippers will choose this offense."

"For the Clippers, what they have to do is very simple, that is, to constantly attack Jayson Tatum and Robert Williams. And since they chose to choose such an opponent in the playoffs, their tactics must also be related to these."

I saw Jason Tatum, who was defending Paul George, was pulled out directly, and then Paul George received the ball and stood outside waiting.

At this time, Qin Ming and Leonard made a cross screen, and then pulled towards the baseline while the defenders were not paying attention.

Paul George has an entire upper half offensive zone.

He dribbled the ball under the crotch twice in a row, and then directly crossed and shot the ball. Jason Tatum didn't react at all, so he could only raise his hand to barely interfere with him.

But the goal was still scored.

The number of Paul George's singles this season has decreased a lot compared to last season, because he has two good singles players, Qin Ming and Leonard, next to him. This season, he doesn't need to hit the basket and hold the ball again and again in singles.

In the Clippers, he ushered in his third spring. This season, he averaged 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists.

His true shooting percentage this season has also reached 50.00%. For an outside player who also has to focus on defense, his shooting percentage is already at the forefront of the league.

Having said that, although Paul George has reduced a lot of singles this season, his singles efficiency is still very high this season, averaging 1.23 points per single, making him one of the top ten players in the league in singles.

After the Clippers gradually find their own touch, the Celtics need to stand up more.

Because Jayson Tatum is under too much pressure. He has faced top defensive players like Leonard and Paul George successively, which consumes a lot of physical energy. Every attack is in a full game.

Most of the Celtics' current offensive points are Kemba Walker.

Because he is directly facing Qin Ming, if he can't fight, then let Hayward come. Anyway, Qin Ming's defensive loophole, the Celtics must grasp it well, this is the key reason for their comeback.

As long as Hayward hits a certain shooting percentage, the Clippers are not invincible.
