"Gart, let’s leave it alone, but Ray Allen and Pierce can’t stop them for me no matter how hard they try, so that we can have a glimmer of hope. The opponent is strong, but we are not weak. It is also very promising for us to try our best." O’ Brien shouted on the tactical board.
Now he still doesn’t want the team to play the run-and-run tactic.
It was O ‘Brien’s intention to run and bomb this tactic. He let the team try it in a training session, but it was very powerful, but it relied too much on the feel. This tactic was later abandoned by his so-called failed test. At this time, he didn’t want to gamble his luck at this critical moment.
The game is resumed, and both teams are at the same starting line, but such a draw is a bit unsafe for the walkers.
After the pause, the pedestrian’s hand seems to have cooled down, mainly because Li Cheng’s hand has cooled down.
The Celtics continued their steady and efficient attack, but Li Cheng made two consecutive shots while the iron was hot.
"I’m so fucking upset," Li Cheng scolded crossly.
The actual feeling is sometimes luck, or it is a very mysterious feeling. It feels like you can throw whatever you want, but you can’t throw whatever you leave, and sometimes a pause can make a player feel cold.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers were 19-24 behind the Celtics. If the game continues at this pace, they will soon collapse. Fortunately, in the second quarter, Li Cheng and Granger were put on the scene as substitutes, which should be able to recover some disadvantages.
O ‘Brien is still trying to figure out whether he wants such crazy tactics or not.
In the second quarter, compared with the first quarter, it was always better to defend Li Cheng, Lei Allen, and now it is much easier to defend Li Cheng and James Posey. After all, James Posey’s biggest feature is that he is sticky, but his trick is nothing big in front of Li Cheng’s running.
"It seems that the Celtics are not prepared for team defense to suppress Li Cheng."
"Maybe their secret weapon is reserved for the most important people! The Pacers are not qualified to let the Celtics produce such a secret weapon. "
"Having said that, the Pacers have set off a wave of attacks now."
"How long can Granger and Li Cheng last in the playoffs in exchange for the Pacers’ high offensive tide?"
"This may be a problem. Maybe the Pacers are not ready to win this round of series. For them, winning a game is a game."
"Their mentality is very good. Maybe with their indifferent and desperate mentality, it is really possible to upset the Celtics!"
"If it’s a seven-game battle, their hope is really slim. If it’s a decisive knockout, the pacers may really have a glimmer of hope."
Li Cheng and Granger seized the opportunity of the Big Three’s absence after the second quarter.
Granger’s three-pointer took the lead, and then Li Cheng’s jumper helped the Pacers equalize the score directly, followed by Deng Liwei’s violent walk. Generally, the three-pointer boosted the morale of the Pacers and directly surpassed the score. This is the first time that the Pacers have led their opponents in the game.
"They are not invincible!" Li Cheng shouted at his teammates.
It is true that the Celtics are not invincible, and now the Pacers are ahead. To be continued.
Chapter 13 Crisis
Rivers praised the Pacers’ strength and started to change people. If Li Cheng and Granger were present, Hu Fei might not be able to hold it after their department hit high.
Pierce and Gart were replaced by Li Cheng, and Ray Allen continued to rest on the spot for a whole quarter.
Rivers was a little angry with the Pacers for overtaking the score in two minutes, but at this time he didn’t continue to ask the team to strengthen defense. His instructions to Gatt and Pierce were offensive!
Since the morale of the walkers was mobilized by the attack, we will attack and suppress them back.
To tell the truth, the Pacers’ strength is really not taken seriously by Rivers. If the Celtics show their strength in the finals, the Pacers may collapse at half time, but now Rivers has to take care of the physical strength of the Big Three and ensure the team’s victory.
This is perhaps the most difficult question for Celtic coaches.
Their goal is to win the championship, but the regular season is like a marathon, and the length of the schedule is fierce in the playoffs.
If the Celtics play with flowers, they may be able to sweep their opponents before the finals, but then the Celtics meet the Lakers in the finals, which will make it difficult for them
Play slowly in the playoffs to find problems, to preserve physical strength until the finals, which will definitely bring instant explosion pleasure to opponents, and then to win the game and rest after the game, and then leave the problems to be solved next season
For such an ordinary game, the Celtics are more different ways to play the game. By the way, they found some problems. It is said that the pacers can stabilize the situation by relying on Li Cheng to play alone, because they are trying their best and their opponents are powerless.
However, it is very dangerous for Celtic to play like this. Generally speaking, playing like Celtic requires extreme self-confidence, and sometimes the team will fall into the abyss if it is not careful.
However, this way can find some problems, which can help the team gradually improve its strength in the playoffs and finally win the championship in one fell swoop. This is a double-edged sword, which can hurt the enemy if it is done well and regret it for life if it is not done well.
O ‘Brien and Hart can’t taste the Celtic mind? So they think this may be the opportunity for the Pacers to overturn their opponents in this round of series.
"We must try our best to win the first few games!" O’ Brien thought to himself that he had his own pains, and he knew whether he wanted to win this round of series. So he must seize the opportunity.
At the moment, Pierce and Gart have attacked them.
"Do you want to attack?" Li Cheng licked his lips and his heart was filled with excitement. His favorite thing was to play a hearty battle with his opponent.
Pierce’s huge ass squeezed against Granger for two times, and then Pierce immediately turned to shoot. Granger could not shoot Pierce.
"Pierce deserves to be called a kaleidoscope man. His personal attack gives his opponent a way."
"The Pacers can rely on their sharp attack if they want to win. The most impressive impression that the Pacers have left us during this period is that they attacked their Li Cheng core to form a front attack group, which is really sharp."
In the first quarter, Li Cheng’s opponent was Ray Allen. Now he defines his opponent as Pierce, and he wants to fight Pierce!
"Danny, don’t worry too much about Pierce. We have to save our physical strength to attack. We want to win the Green Shirts by attacking."
"hmm!" Granger nodded, and a dignified light flashed in his eyes.
The Celtics are the strongest opponents the Pacers have met so far, especially in this playoff environment. Pacers must seize all the factors they can to add weight to their victory. Faced with such a strong opponent, sometimes one wrong step is beyond redemption.
"We must seize such an opportunity to attack!" Sung Jae Lee heart andao
Pierce had just scored a goal, and Li Cheng decided that the horse would score a goal in return.
Sung Jae Lee fell in the frontcourt and Granger attracted his opponent’s defense. After that, the horse threw the ball to Li Cheng. "Kill them!"
Li Cheng held the ball, turned around and moved the box in one go. He took a big step against James Posey’s defense and pulled the ball one after another to reach Posey’s side.
Percy dived hard to the right on his left and dodged Percy’s block shot.
All the people who have defended Li Cheng have a sense of strength rising in Posey’s heart so that they can shoot? This is obviously unscientific! But if he shoots like this, he is in.
Rivers sighed on the sidelines and gave Li Cheng a definition in his mind. "It is almost impossible for a player to limit him in one-on-one except team strength."
Celtic fans were reserved until they cheered at the Celtic attack scene, but now they can’t help it.
Perhaps in this league, Los Angeles fans are the most reserved. They consider themselves nobles. They don’t like to make noise to fans at their own home. They never think that their team will fail, even if it loses, it is only temporary.
But Celtic fans are different. They are tough and crazy, which are rare in the league.
The fans are cheering that the Celtics’ game is far more exciting.
Pierce’s attack with the ball attracted the double-team, and then he threw the ball to the basket. Gatt’s strong bouncing ability showed that he grabbed the ball with both hands and made a violent dunk, which caused a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene.
Dunk in the basketball court is not only to help the team get two points, it is a blow to the opponent’s morale and can also boost their own team’s morale.
Morale is invisible and intangible, but it is real.
Here comes the Celtics. Crazy attack.
Slowly, the main players of both sides returned to the field, but the Celtics’ crazy attack purpose has not changed. Obviously, Rivers wants the Pacers to hone his team’s attack
Let your team’s weaknesses in the offensive end be exposed slowly in the opposite battle, and then try to correct these problems.
The Celtics launched a very crazy attack against them, but the Pacers naturally refused to show weakness in the attack, and the Indian city binary star shone brightly, but there was still a certain gap between them and the three giants of the Green Shirt Army.
