NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 393
After the Celtics fell behind, the Big Three increased their individual shots.

It's just that Pierce still hasn't found his form, so Joe Johnson and Garnett played more.

Joe Johnson may be eager to prove that he is a little anxious, but the effect is not very good.

His singles also depend on his state. Last season, he and Russell abused guards all over the league, but he would be inaccurate when he didn't have a tough defensive touch.

At this time, Garnett's state is relatively early. His offense has not degraded yet, and he is at the All-Star level. Although he and Duncan are both All-Stars with stronger defenses, it does not mean that they cannot improve.

When Garnett was in the Timberwolves, he also played very well against the Suns, and it is not too long now.

It's just that Nate's low post is not as good as Duncan's. He mainly plays half-blocks and has a bit of touch, but the Suns are not prepared to pinch him.

The Celtics have several strong points, and no one is worthy of a full-scale attack, but whoever is in good shape to play a striker or an inside defense is a more correct choice.

In this quarter, with the support of Russell, Ray Allen has surpassed Joe Johnson in scoring.

Ray Allen doesn't take a lot of shots in the Suns now, but as long as he can run out of opportunities, Russell will send the ball over, which is much better than when he was the boss before.

It's much easier for him to play this way, and he has a chance to win the championship, so Ray Allen is also happier in the Suns, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable because of his reduced tactical status.

To be honest, playing with Russell is still relatively easy to adapt, especially when the team can always win.Of course, some players will misjudge their own strength if they keep winning, thinking that their skills are broken.

Only one of the Celtics' Big Three played well, so naturally they couldn't recover the score.

Even Russell hasn't fully exerted his strength, he is just distributing the ball to his teammates.

"The Celtics are coming aggressively, but it seems that the offensive end is a little weak."

"From the previous rounds, it can be seen that the Celtics are a little slow, and the team is more accustomed to a slow pace, while the Suns are a completely different team. Speed ​​and aggression are the labels of the Suns. The Celtics may A little uncomfortable. Compared with their previous opponents, the Suns are too strong."

"The Celtics are struggling a bit in the playoffs. If they are still in this situation, the Suns are not the teams in the East that will give a chance."

"With the cooperation of Russell and Ray Allen, Ray Allen easily hits the mid-range shot."

"The Celtics also played a fast break, and Rondo's layup was still very solid."

"The last attack of the Celtics in the first half was executed by Joe Johnson. Joe Johnson made a cross step forward, suddenly retreated, and the space came out... Unfortunately, he didn't hit it. Joe Johnson also clapped his hands. It's a pity."

"At the end of the first half, the Suns were in the lead."

The Celtics actually didn't play well in the first half, and Russell knew it very well, so during the intermission, he repeatedly reminded others to do a good job of defense.

If the Suns can find a way to increase their speed while doing a good job of defense, the game will be more beneficial to them.

In the Celtics locker room, their head coach Rivers is pouring chicken soup.

Two of the Big Three performed poorly in the first half, and Coach Rivers also hopes that they can adjust well.

If they can exert power on all three points, they will have a chance to beat the Suns.

Because the combination of the three is stronger than the Spurs' GDP, theoretically they can fight the Suns.

"We have to play our rhythm. After the previous tempering, we are already a fearless team. Everyone knows that you are stronger than the Suns."

In the third quarter, the Celtics players really adjusted well.

The main reason is that Pierce has adjusted his touch. When he holds the ball more, Durant is a little confused.

When the Suns' perimeter defense was more attracted by Pierce, Joe Johnson also found an opportunity.

In this case, Garnett can focus more on the defensive side, and the Celtics' combat effectiveness has rapidly improved.

Since Pierce broke out when he came up, Durant was a little at a loss from the three-point line, and the Celtics quickly caught up with the score.

Russell also sensed the crisis and quickly changed his way of playing.

Although still working with Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, Russell took more shots.

It doesn't matter if Rondo defends well, Russell can stagger people when he calls for a screen.

Regardless of whether the Celtics make a substitution or Rondo goes around, Russell can find a chance to make a shot during the change.

Even if Rondo and Garnett come over and both defend well, it will be difficult to restrain Russell and Stoudemire at the same time.

If they all attack Russell, Stoudemire will go in.

If you don't rush, the pick-and-roll tactics can really find a gap to make a mobile phone. There is nothing on the court that cannot be solved by one screen. If there is, then double screens.

The point is that when Russell is firing on all cylinders, the occasional pass seems more threatening.

The rest of the Suns can still get it. Even Durant, although he can't get Pierce, he can still score goals.

After Russell made consecutive hits, the Celtics' momentum finally stopped, and the two teams fell into a stalemate again.

"One thing to say, the Suns rarely suffer losses in the third quarter. Fortunately, Russell took over the game."

"Russell's scoring mode is really good, but the Celtics' Big Three seem to have entered the state, and now the game looks good."

"The Celtics are good at rebounding, better than the opponents the Suns have encountered before. The Suns must attack completely, otherwise it will be a little dangerous."

"The Suns changed to a small lineup to speed up. If you fight for speed, the Suns are still better."

In fact, how to play when entering the rotation, the Suns are a little hesitant, whether to rebound or speed up in an all-round way, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and sometimes there are too many players in the lineup, which is also troublesome.

However, it is better to speed up and release Stoudemire. If he is grinding against the opponent, Stoudemire will have a harder time. He does not have an advantage in the interior.

So the Suns are also watching while playing to see the status of the players.

If Ellis feels good, they will use a small lineup. If Ellis hits the iron, then they will go to the double inside and play steadily.

Ellis' performance in the second half was considered average, and the Suns played a small lineup in the end, and it was his unlucky main attack.

However, the Suns used defense to choke the Celtics' bench players.

Both offense and defense, this is the trick for the Suns to be able to cross the alliance.

At the beginning of the final quarter, this time the Celtics players performed better.

As a result, Russell also stood up early from the rest area.

It's already the finals, and he doesn't need to save his energy anymore. As long as the game requires, he can return to the court at any time.
