The game restarted, the score was 38:33, and the Celtics were still five points behind.

The Clippers lineup became: Kassel, Posey, Artest, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

The Celtics lineup became: Rajan. Rondo, Al. Thornton, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins.

Today's rookie from the Celtics, Al Brown. Thornton played very impactfully, the player who was the old Dunleavy was decisively abandoned after meeting the two brothers, but this season's fourth-place rookie list proved that he was not wrong, this is also a star seedling.

After the two brothers came on the court, the Clippers resumed their combined defensive play.

Rondo dribbled through, Ji Guosha assisted in defense, Posey came up to wrap up, and the basketball was immediately assigned by the Celtics point guard to the unguarded Al outside the three-point line on the wing. Thorton's hand.

If this is Ray. Allen, the Clippers' defense this time is tantamount to failure. But change to Ray. Allen, Posey won't come up to wrap up, Thorton doesn't have three-point ability, he's better than Rondo's three-pointer, and the Clippers put two big strides away from these two guys from beyond the three-point line - any shot.

Al. Thorton didn't dare to shoot, he shot 4 of 6 today, and the two balls he missed were all three-pointers, although there was no one to defend after receiving the ball this time, Thorton still chose to break through to the basket.

Coach Rivers shook his head on the sidelines and let Ray Rivers. Allen was ready to play early, and the ball didn't need to be seen at all, the Clippers were full of people in the box, and it was a dribble when it went in.

Al. Thorton met Ji Guoqiu, Ji Guoyi and Posey's three-person encirclement under the basket, and as soon as the basketball was shot, Ji Guoyi jumped up and slapped him with a big hat, and he didn't even have a chance to shoot the iron.

Posey grabbed the basketball, and the Clippers quickly launched a fast-break counterattack, and finally Artest forced a layup to score a goal, and also made Pierce a foul, two plus one.

The Celtics immediately made the decision to make a substitution. Allen comes on and replaces Al. Thornton.

Rivers stepped forward and patted Al, who had been replaced by a big hat. Thorton, for the average rookie, is already a very good one they traded this year. As for the two selected by the Clippers, they are completely shit luck and cannot be taken as common sense!

Most NBA coaches now know that those two twins will become All-Stars sooner or later. Taking it a step further, can you become a superstar? I can't tell. But in terms of potential alone, these two little guys have this potential.

Usually the first season of superstars is like the two brothers, a few of the 03 generation, 04 Warcraft, and 05 Gemini, which are not much different from the current two brothers.

Thunder. After Allen came on the court, the involvement of the Clippers was immediate, and the elder Dunleavy was not most worried about Garnett, but among the Celtics Big Three, this is the most effective weapon to break the joint defense. As long as they are outside with the open and Ray. Allen can shoot the basketball when he receives it, so their joint defense can't hold it anyway.

Rondo was apparently instructed by Rivers to step up the breakaway shot in the second quarter, and his goal was none other than Ray. Alan.

Thunder. Less than half a minute after Allen came on the court, he received a shot from Rondo and hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner to tie the score at 41:36.

Immediately after the basketball was hit, a sharp and piercing air alarm sounded at TD North Shore Garden Course!

The biggest weakness of the joint defense is that the opponent's outside line has a like. A killer like Ray Allen can never move as fast as basketball, and as long as the Celtics break through and quickly share the ball, they can break the Clippers' defense. If you don't have basketball, there's no need to use a joint defense. Besides, Rondo's breakthrough is really difficult to defend, this kid breaks through extremely fast, and the Clippers' two point guards can't defend it.

If you are not careful, you will lose all the games, which refers to the problems that the Clippers are encountering now, and they will affect the whole body.

Seeing this, the elder Dunleavy called a timeout. A player like Allen has to keep choking him, can't let him shoot, and it's better not to let him have a chance to shoot.

"We're making some changes to the defensive set-up now, Posey, and you're close to Ray when you come on the pitch. Allen, don't give him space to catch the ball, you must stick him to death wherever he goes! Others defend in divisions, Brother Panda guards the penalty area and two low positions, Brother Fox is responsible for sweeping back and forth along the entire penalty area line, anyone who approaches the penalty area I want you to go up and wrap up, don't shout to me tired, tired to do it! Ron defends both flanks, Cassell is in charge of the top of the arc and the free-throw line, everyone sees the opportunity to wrap up, understand? ”

The Clippers player shouted, "Understood! ”

The elder Dunleavy gave up defending the ball and changed to a standing joint defense, with the players each responsible for an area, but asked the players to pack according to the game situation. This requires a very high level of personal defensive awareness and mobility of the players, and it is also a test of Ji Guoyi's command ability. In this arrangement, the fox brother had the heaviest task, and the elder Dunleavy asked him to sweep back and forth along the entire line of the restricted area, which was not an easy job. In addition to this, he also has to command his teammates to defend, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is dual-minded.

After the Clippers players came on the court, they each thought about their tasks on the defensive end, but the offense did not work, and Ji Guozhi almost made a three-way shot this time, which made the Celtics fans laugh loudly, and the scene also released a funny sound effect to laugh at him for the first time.

Old Dunleavy couldn't wait to go up and kick him, this ball was so outrageous, could it be that he took revenge for giving him too many tasks?

Charles. Barkley laughed: "The little fox should have kicked himself a few times, he didn't go into such a big gap, and Garnett was two steps away from him just now." ”

Garnett also laughed happily, he was a step slower in this ball, but as soon as his eyes widened, the little fox on the opposite side was directly frightened by his wolf-like eyes, and almost threw a three-no-stick, the little guy is the little guy. However, as soon as the offensive end fell into place, Garnett soon stopped laughing, and the Clippers' excellent defense surprised the Celtics in the first quarter, but now it seems to have changed.

The Clippers' defensive formation is no longer a joint defense, but a hybrid defense plus joint defense, completely relying on the individual ability of the players to defend, especially the twin brothers doing the work of two people alone, and supporting the entire defense line of the Clippers.

Garnett catches the ball at the free throw line, and Cassel and Ji Guoyi immediately wrap it up, which is the common defense area of the two of them, and it is obvious that they have to wrap it.

Rondo received a pass at the top of the arc, he didn't dare to shoot, looked left and right, Ray. Allen ran a baseline and Posey followed like a hangman, with no passing target.

Pierce received the ball on the flank, the Celtics executed the second set of tactics, and Pierce singled on the flank. I saw that the truth made a triple threat to Artest, and after the tentative step, he immediately dribbled and tried to break through the basket. However, in the waist position, Pierce was blocked by Ji Guoyi again, and the Clippers were another bag, which was the common defense area of Ji Guoyi and Artest.

Old Dunleavy clenched his hands on the field, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Little fox, you must lock them up!" ”

Pierce is also a quasi-superstar, and in the face of the two-man bag, he reacted extremely quickly, quickly dribbled a step back, and dodged the two-man bag.

Garnett immediately followed up to cover off the ball, and Pierce used the Wolves' cover to go around the free-throw line and make a jumper......

This ball, Pierce was caught up in this area by Cassel who was guarding this area and reached out to block it, Pierce was interfered with, and the basketball smashed out of the basket.

Ji Guoqiu protected the rebounds under the basket, he didn't have anything to do this round, he only saw him when he grabbed the rebound.

Old Dunleavy thinks, is his brother's task too easy? It seems that the Celtics have no threat in the penalty area and in the low post except for the wolf king, so he can see the opportunity to come out and help the little fox sweep the penalty area together.

Although Brother Panda is not good at commanding, his ability to find weaknesses in the opponent's system and his own tactical problems on the field is much stronger than that of his younger brother.

Ji Guoqiu did not have the old Dunleavy to remind him, and he took the initiative to help his younger brother guard the penalty area in the next defense, and at the same time took into account the prevention of the opponent's bottom line.

The Clippers' defense today can be said to have reached the best game since the start of the regular season, but even with such an excellent defense, after the Celtics adapted, it was not impossible to break through.

Garnett, the Clippers' main defensive point, frequently blocks and dismantles with teammates, opening up one-on-one opportunities. Although this one-on-one time will not be too long, the wolf king relies on his outstanding personal ability to make a quick shot before the bag; Ray Allen used Perkins' cover and his excellent running ability to create a chance on the baseline, even if Posey was close to the defense, he couldn't completely see him, as long as he got a chance to shoot, Ray Ray. Aaron would never hesitate; Pierce was on the wings, strengthening his back-to-back singles and teaming up with the Wolves after blocking, and his back-to-back ability also had a big impact on the Clippers.

The Celtics face the defense of the Clippers, and the solution can be summed up as nothing more than to shoot faster and more resolutely when the Big Three have the opportunity!

The master has made a move, and the victory or defeat is always between minutes and seconds, and what is important is the "mentality" and the word "fast".

As soon as the action is fast, it will naturally affect the shooting percentage of the Big Three. But don't forget, it's not just the Clippers who are excellent defensively, the Celtics are the best defensive team this season, and they can also use their defense to reduce the Clippers' shooting percentage.

In the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, the scores of the two teams were relatively high. But by the end of the first half, the score was 49-46, the Clippers scored only eight points in the final half of the first half, and the Celtics were no better, they only scored 10 points, and the Clippers ended the first half with a three-point lead.

Charles. At the end of the first half, Barkley jubilantly said: "Who says defense isn't exciting? I like to watch games like this, where players are aiming at each other and fighting defensively, and that's the real game of basketball. I hope they can keep it up, it's not often that you get a regular season like that. ”

Kenny. Smith seemed a little incredulous, and said in a surprised tone: "The Clippers' defense is better, they don't look worse than the Celtics' defense, and in fact they are actually leading the league leaders on the road!" ”

The elder Dunleavy praised the players at half-time, and of course he did not forget to praise the old captain for his contributions. The Clippers can take the lead, all thanks to the explosion of Brand, his efficiency today is simply higher than the opposite Wolves, it is estimated that there is no team in the league that can make an All-Star interior player at the peak of his prime.

Brand nodded modestly and didn't react much. This injury and the current situation have really raised Brand's state of mind to the point of a grandmaster, which can be called honor and disgrace, whether it is praise or criticism, Brand does not take it to heart now, it is estimated that if this continues, the old captain will soon ascend to heaven.

"In the second half we continued to play in the defensive and you have to learn how to save your body on the defensive end and not affect the defensive intensity."

Old Dunleavy's words made Ji Guozhi at the bottom slanderous, why did this sound so awkward? It feels so much like what some political commissars in China say, such as: "We must fight fiercely and save bullets." Old Dunleavy seems to have a point.

"! You can show me how you can save your body and maintain defensive intensity? ”

In the first half, Ji Guoqiu got 6 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, this is the rhythm of rushing to the triple-double charge again, Brother Panda's passing ability is now recognized as the top three in the league, which is already a modest statement, how can there be an inside player who has only won so many triple-doubles after only half of the first season, does it really cost money to be a triple-double?

Ji Guoyi got 9 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and he always wanted to score points with Garnett in the first half, but in the face of the Wolves' defense, his efficiency was obviously not high enough. To put it mildly, he is just throwing iron, a bit like rookie Kobe Bryant who has to compete with Jordan, but is beaten by the gang leader to a rhythm.

In the second half of the game, Ji Guoyi thought that he had done a good job in the first quarter and decided to make persistent efforts.

So the fans saw that Ji Guosha and Garnett had a fierce scramble on the field in the second half, Ji Guoyi's iron elbows, pulling, and top knees were all used, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no meat on his little buttocks, even Barkley's pouting ass he would be like a shot at the wolf king.

Garnett is not easy to get along with, the peak of the wolf king and the twilight postman Malone bit each other's hair in the playoffs, Malone was 41 years old at that time, and it was these side ways to deal with Garnett, the wolf king learned a lot that year, and he also knew this.

Although Ji Guozhi had a good idea, he forgot that this is the home of the Celtics, not the Staples Center. Therefore, in the third quarter, he obviously suffered a loss, and it was less than half a quarter, this time the little fox did not end up with Garnett, but was beaten by the wolf king, and Ji Guo was ashamed of 4 crimes!

"Shit, my little waist, and my ass...... This bastard greeted Lao Tzu on the chrysanthemum, is he psychopathic? When the little fox came off the field, he still scolded Garnett in his heart for making an indecent move.

Garnett watched Ji Guoyi walk off the court with an angry face, and also subconsciously rubbed his little brother, gritting his teeth and scolding in his heart: "Little rabbit cub, the move is too vicious, this is to destroy my sexual happiness, I will not be finished with you in a while!" ”R1152
