unfinished glory

Chapter 195 Green Shirt Army

At the beginning of the game, Gasol won the ball by jumping, and Li Chongxiao naturally had to play the first round.

After the last game, although Carlisle found some of the team's shortcomings and had targeted solutions, it took some time to adjust and adapt.

Now that the team's No. [-] player is injured and he is facing a strong team, he will naturally not foolishly test tactics on the Celtics, so he still continues the most efficient offensive method in the previous games, Li Chongxiao singles.

Ray Allen's defense is not bad, and his attitude is also very positive. It is enough to defend against ordinary star-level players, but it is not enough to meet a player with top offensive ability like Li Chongxiao.

Li Chongxiao broke through from the front and scored a jumper near the free throw line.

When it was the Celtics' turn to attack, they kept running and passing the ball until about 20 seconds into the attack, when Pierce made a jumper and the ball missed.

Gasol got the rebound, Li Chongxiao continued to attack, this time Rondo stepped forward to double-team, Li Chongxiao passed the ball to Conley.

Conley organized for a while, and found that the Celtics' rotation was very timely, and they couldn't attack, so they returned the ball to Li Chongxiao.

Li Chongxiao picked it up again, and Rondo stood aside again, ready to move.He dribbled against Ray Allen, squeezed two steps in, attracted Rondo, and then made a pass, and Rondo rushed back.

In a one-on-one situation, it was quite easy for Li Chongxiao to beat Ray Allen, scoring two points with a turnaround jumper.

Next, the Celtics' offense was still grinding, and they wished that every ball would use up 24 seconds.At the same time, in defense, they also spared no effort to double-team Li Chongxiao. Even if they couldn't prevent him from scoring, they still had to slow down the frequency of his offense and disrupt the rhythm of the Grizzlies' offense.

Not only the Grizzlies coach Carlisle, many audiences on the scene and in front of the TV can see that the Celtics just want to control the rhythm very low, so as to drag the Grizzlies into their familiar rhythm and use rich Experience beats them all.

The smarter fans also thought of another reason, that is, the Celtics may think that the game can be lost, but Li Chongxiao's score must be lower than 60.

……

Faced with this style of play, Li Chongxiao is also willing to accompany him, and has no intention of speeding up the offensive rhythm privately, because in the first quarter, although he only scored 10 points, the team only had 19 points, but the Celtics were even worse. , only scored 14 points.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Chongxiao sat on the bench, watching his teammates and Celtics substitutes work on the field with blank eyes. For more than three minutes of "boom, boom, boom," neither team scored a single goal.

The audience sitting on the court is used to the team's performance, calling it iron-blooded and tough.Li Chongxiao felt drowsy and drowsy, until the moment he went on stage, he suddenly woke up.

His backhand is a steal, and then he dribbles quickly to the front court to complete a one-handed split dunk.

The player who will defend Li Chongxiao has become Tony Allen, a player in the same draft who has not been heard from for several seasons. In the last two seasons, it was because of the Big Three that he emerged again.

His task is to defend Li Chongxiao alone, and at the same time block Li Chongxiao's offensive line and shots with his teammates who come to help defend.

This job is not easy to do, because Li Chongxiao has too many offensive routines. He can break through as soon as he dribbles, and he can open up with a pick-and-roll; Bit and catch and shoot.

Tony Allen was exhausted, and it took a lot of hard work with his teammates to make Li Chongxiao's shooting rate slightly lower.

In the first half of the game, the Grizzlies and Celtics scored 42:36.

Li Chongxiao became the only player who scored in double figures in this half of the game. He scored 23 points.

……

The second half of the game was still played in this way, and Li Chongxiao was defended even more strictly than in the game against the Spurs.After all, the Spurs' inside line has shrunk with Duncan's decline, and Garnett, the Celtics' inside line, is very good at assisting defense, and the overall defensive protection is also stronger.

The goals of the two teams are intermittent. The Celtics have more players with independent offensive capabilities, and the Grizzlies have Li Chongxiao.

This tug-of-war of goals lasted until the end of the third quarter. The score of 58 points was the lowest score of the Grizzlies in three quarters this season.

The Celtics on the opposite side seem to be very used to their 50 points. They are 8 points behind and have not seen their impatience. The fans are still full of enthusiasm and applaud and cheer for the team's performance.

In the fourth quarter, Li Chongxiao, who took a few minutes off the court, went into battle.When he was not there, the score was overtaken by the Celtics by 5 points, and the lead was only 3 points, which was a bit precarious.

After Li Chongxiao got started, he hit the iron with a three-pointer. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Celtics chased the point difference to 1 point. This is also the smallest point difference between the Celtics and the Grizzlies.

Li Chongxiao chose to break through with the second ball, and against Garnett's defense, scored a small throw.

Turning around, Li Chongxiao took the lead in defending Pierce, and the Grizzlies also suddenly increased their defensive strength, creating a triple iron for the Celtics.

Li Chongxiao's goals are still going on. He can't guarantee to score every goal, but every goal he scores is very important.With this kind of defensive intensity, it is difficult for ordinary players to find opportunities to shoot, let alone score.

This kind of scene reminded Li Chongxiao of his playing in the finals with the Spurs, and the opponent he met was the Pistons, and it was such a tough muscle collision.

……

At the final decisive moment of the game, there were more than 2 minutes left, and the Grizzlies still took the lead on the field.They 77:69, they lead the opponent by 8 points.

At this time, Li Chongxiao took the ball. He had already scored 48 points today. The Celtics didn't even think about it, and all four of them rushed over.

Four people double-teamed and his teammates were obviously wide open. Rondo judged that Li Chongxiao would definitely pass the ball, so he made an ambush in advance.

As expected, Li Chongxiao was about to pass to the inside. As soon as he made a move, Rondo had already appeared on his passing route.But what Rondo didn't expect was that the ball was actually a fake move.

A player like him who puts passing first, never imagined how "independent" an offensive player like Li Chongxiao is when he plays.

A fake move exposed the Celtics' encirclement. Li Chongxiao seized the opportunity, dribbled a step sideways, and flashed out of space to make a fadeaway jumper.

Tony Allen's hand was blocked to his face, but the ball was still scored, Li Chongxiao's 50th point.

With a gap of 10 points and 2 minutes remaining, it is too difficult for the Celtics to recover.

The Celtics, who were a game late, finally wanted to play fast. Ray Allen made a hurried three-pointer, which was blocked by Li Chongxiao.

After getting the ball, Li Chongxiao began to delay the time. He slowly dribbled to the frontcourt. It took eighteen or nine seconds, and then he hit a three-pointer, completely killing the game.

In the end, Li Chongxiao scored two more points with free throws, and scored 55 points in the game.

Although the Celtics did not win, they finally controlled Li Chongxiao's scoring within 60 points, and finally did not become a background wall.
