The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 277 [Spicy Celtics]

Before the game, Rivers asked the players to play more aggressively and to be firm in their offensive shots.If there is a chance, fast break is needed. Rondo breaks through in the positional battle and easily gets into the crowd. Quickly counterattack and one-on-one speed advantage can be brought into play.

Rivers also thought of a problem. If the Clippers play the starting lineup again, there will be problems with shooting. If necessary, they should double-team Ye Feng and let Kidd and McGee attack. Special people will be much easier to fight.

When they played, the Celtic players were in high spirits. No matter how the home fans yelled, they couldn't see a trace of distress and doubt from their expressions. They had come out of the shadow of losing the first game.

The Clippers players won one game first, and of course they are full of confidence.

The Celtics changed their starters, Perkins sat on the bench, and veteran Rasheed Wallace started.

The Clippers' starting lineup is the same as the last game, Love, McGee, Smith, Ye Feng, Kidd.

When Thibodeau looked at this lineup, he knew what Rivers was thinking. It was indeed a good strategy not to let Perkins start. It added an offensive point and made it more difficult for the Clippers to defend.

Perkins is characterized by good low-post defense, strong strength and ability to resist people.In the last game, the Clippers had almost no low-post offense inside. Love and McGee both pulled to the outside and evacuated the inside.Under this style of play, Perkins' role is minimized, and he doesn't have much effect on the field. On the offensive end, he is almost the target of being emptied. How can he compare with Rasheed Wallace?Back then, Rasheed Wallace was known for his diverse offensive methods, and now he can also shoot three-pointers from the outside.

Wallace is also taller than Perkins, has defensive experience, and will not suffer when marking McGee or Love. The only disadvantage is that he is not good at defending pick-and-rolls and moves slowly.In this regard, Perkins can't do much better.

Such a substitution after the opening, immediately received results.Garnett defended and Wallace defended in the low post. He was tall and good at defending the low post. It was not easy for Ye Feng to back him up.In the Pistons back then, Ben Wallace was in charge of resisting people, and Rasheed was the most critical defender of the Pistons.So when Ben Wallace left the Pistons, the Pistons still maintained a tough defense.

The Clippers don't have a strong offensive interior like the Lakers.Even if it was Wallace, Thibodeau would not arrange for Love to attack in the low post. He has never played like this in a season. This is not the time for experimentation. It is even more impossible for Du to let him be a blue-collar worker for him.

The result is that the Celtics' defense is almost unaffected, but their offense is stronger.After the opening, the Celtics began to zone defense.As soon as Ye Feng received the ball, two people went up to double-team. Garnett and Rondo, Pierce and Rondo were responsible for resisting each other, and Rondo went down three ways to steal.

Even though Ye Feng's dribbling level has improved a little compared to a year ago, he was successfully intercepted by Rondo in the first quarter and made a mistake.He distributed the ball to the perimeter, and the Celtics used rotation to defend and let Kidd and McGee shoot.

McGee made 6 of 6 shots in the last game, and his shooting percentage was 100%.Kidd shot very resolutely, but only hit one goal in 4 shots.

Ye Feng played for less than 7 minutes. When he broke through, he knocked down Wallace and was called for a charge with the ball. In addition, he defended Ray Allen for a foul before, and was replaced in advance for the second foul.

Seeing that the team was falling behind, Ye Feng sat on the sideline and was very anxious.Rasheed Wallace was responsible for the pick-and-roll on the offensive end, and Garnett also had the opportunity to attack in the low post. He singled Love and hit three mid-range shots.Love was also quickly replaced by two fouls, and Thibodeau replaced Hayes to strengthen the defense.But once Hayes came on, the Clippers' offense was even worse. The Celtics could relax their defense against Hayes, and against Rasheed Wallace, Hayes didn't take advantage of it, and let Wallace The Warriors hit a three-pointer from the perimeter.

Thibodeau sighed: "Javier, have you seen it? If you can play like Wallace, you will be an excellent starter. You still have to practice shooting. Even if you can't shoot three-pointers, at least practice accurate mid-range shots." Yes, those two opportunities just now are already very good."

McGee was very depressed, nodded and said: "Got the coach."

Thibodeau sighed, and softly said to Ye Feng beside him: "There are too few big men with a height of 210cm and above who can shoot three-pointers. If there is such a one in our team, the Celtics will not play so easily. Even if it's a poor defense, it helps the team."

Love can shoot from the outside, but his height is limited, and the advantage of misplacement attack is not obvious enough. Gortat has a mid-range shot, which is accurate in a few positions. Thibodeau doesn't like to use him very much, and McGee's offense is not good enough.The weak offense of inside players may be the Clippers' serious weakness, and Ye Feng is the only one who is good at low post offense.

Hearing Thibodeau's words, Ye Feng suddenly thought of a person, and said lightly: "I know a big man who is above 210 cm and can shoot, but he is not doing well now, if you think such a player is good, go down The season can get the team, don't you want to cut Chuck? Don't cut it, just use him as a bargaining chip, and it should be exchanged. This matter will be discussed in detail after the game is over. If the transaction is successful, that person will come It’s good for us here too.”

Thibodeau nodded and continued to pay attention to the game.Ye Feng was very careful when defending, and he was rarely troubled by fouls. This time he was replaced early, and the Clippers players were immediately defeated. In just a few minutes, the point difference has widened from 4 points to more than 10 points .

Barkley shook his head and said: "The Clippers rely too much on Ye Feng. He lost his backbone as soon as he got off the court. Smith defended well, but his ability to create opportunities alone was not good. After replacing Curry, his defense was poor. Now the Clippers The offense was a bit messy, and the Celtics have found the feeling again, and it's a bit bad to play like this."

Kenny Smith said: "The Celtics found a way to deal with the Clippers. Their offense was better. Ye Feng only scored two points in the first quarter, and the double-teaming played a role. When dealing with the Cavaliers, there are It’s the same way in every game, I’d rather let others score than guard LeBron James, the Clippers are in the same trouble as the Cavaliers.”

Barkley said with a smile: "The Clippers can't follow the Cavaliers' style of play. The Cavaliers also lost. If Ye Feng is double-teamed, the best way is for role players to stand up. I think we should send offensive players to try."

The fans cheered together, but the Clippers were helpless. They fell behind 21 to 35 in the first quarter by 14 points.Since entering the playoffs, it was the first time that the Clippers were beaten so badly in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Thibodeau dispatched offensive substitute players in an attempt to chase points.Thornton and Curry went together, as well as Barnes, Hayes and Gortat.In order to strengthen the offense, he did not send his favorite disciple Tony Allen.

The Clippers did take the initiative in the substitute competition, narrowing the point difference to 8 points, but once the two sides played the main force, the Clippers had another problem. The Celtics continued to double-team Ye Feng. Ye Feng passed the ball, and the other players Everything was out of order, Love, McGee, and Kidd worked together.

Kidd's shooting percentage this season is only 42%, 40% of three-pointers, and almost all of them are open shots. His shooting is really not good.

At halftime, the Clippers trailed by 16 points.

The problem of the lack of experience of the Clippers players emerged. Not only were the young players too nervous to play well, but Thibodeau, the head coach, was a little panicked and didn't know how to recover the score.In the third quarter, he played Thornton at the 2 and Smith at the 4, attacking the rim.

However, it was obvious that Thornton was not in good shape in this game. He was replaced after a few irons, and then replaced with McGee, who was asked to help Ye Feng double pick and roll with Love.

This trick finally played a role. After the pick-and-roll became Rasheed Wallace's defense, or Ray Allen's defense was misplaced, Ye Feng had the advantage and scored 9 points in a row.

The Celtics defended very fiercely. Ye Feng scored 2+1 after a layup and was almost crippled by Garnett.The Celtics couldn't afford to lose this game, and the fouls were very serious.Garnett also got a flagrant foul because of this. Fortunately, Ye Feng is physically strong, if he were replaced by someone else, he might be injured.

After 1 minute, Gortat also got a malicious foul and brought Garnett down, which almost caused a conflict.This was taught by Mahon. Garnett has already committed a malicious foul. If there is a conflict, Gortat and Garnett will be sent off together. The Clippers must take advantage.

The Clippers coaching staff is also full of talents, including street basketball masters and heretics like Ma Hong, but Garnett has not played for nothing for so many years. He controlled his emotions and did not fight against Gotta. Special care.The Celtics got two free throws and one throw and continued to maintain the lead.

In the fourth quarter, Thibodeau tried everything, Ye Feng fought bravely, but his teammates didn't give him much help except Smith.Especially Thornton and Curry, the two teenagers misfired, and neither scored in double figures.Instead, Barnes scored 10 points, but it didn't help.

快船86比98输掉了比赛。凯尔特人在快船主场赢球，胜利的天枰一下子就倾斜了。隆多表现最好，出场42分钟，几乎拿下三双。18分8篮板11助攻，还有4次抢断。基德在和隆多的对位中处于了下风，怕速度型后卫的问题不是单纯放隆多投篮可以解决的。基德只得到了6分3篮板6助攻，9投3中。

Another hero of the Celtics is Rasheed Wallace, who made 3 3-pointers and evacuated the inside line, allowing Rondo to have more opportunities to break through. He is more offensive than Parkin S is more effective.Perkins limited Gortat in the second team and also performed.The Celtics scored in double figures with five players in this field.

快船只有四人得分上双，叶锋得到了25分8篮板5助攻2盖帽1抢断，还有4次失误。

Smith had 17 points and 6 rebounds, and Love had 10 points and 11 rebounds. He only played 28 minutes because of foul trouble.

After that, three consecutive games will be held in Boston. The Clippers must win at least one away game, otherwise they will have no chance to return to the home game. This season, the Celtics' home game is also very devilish.
