Chapter 194 Christmas Battle(2/2)
However, the Celtics' overall performance in the interior today was not very good. Except for Glen Davis's performance, other inside players did not perform well.
During this timeout, the Magic made some adjustments to the lineup. Nazel Mohamed replaced Ryan Anderson, and Gerald Wallace replaced JJ Redick. The two players who came out of the field performed well just now. The reason why Stan Van Gundy replaced them was to give them enough rest time to ensure that the entire game had enough impact.
The Magic's substitutions did not have a big impact on their offense, and with Gerald Wallace on the court, Stan Van Gundy naturally had nothing to worry about.
Doug Rivers looked at the Magic's players with some concern. After playing for so long, he should have made some adjustments to the lineup. In addition to ensuring the players' physical strength, a lineup that will play on the field for too long will gradually find a way to deal with it. However, after scanning the players on the bench, he still suppressed the impulse in his heart. Now the score has been pulled apart by his opponent so much. If he is unstable at this time, there is no need to continue the following game.
Rajon Rondo knew very well that he wanted to change his previous style of playing and blindly search for three-pointers on the outside. Now it seemed unlikely. Wu Feng's close-fitting defense was like a maggot with bones. As soon as the ball came to his hands, he immediately appeared beside him, leaving no gap for him.
Although in his current state, Rajon Rondo is confident that he has time to break through Wu Feng's defense, but it is also very physically exhausting.
And letting the other four people watch on the side. Playing alone by himself is not the game style that Rajon Rondo likes. And such a barely breakthrough may not necessarily lead to any chance. He has always believed that as a qualified organizational guard, the team's brain is that in his constant operation, any pass can create an excellent offensive opportunity. The ball is too stuck to the hands of a player. For the players and the team, it is probably not a good thing, nor is it in line with the team's group spirit.
The ball was quickly handed to Glen Davis. Glen Davis dribbled with his right hand, focusing his strength on his left shoulder, constantly pressing against Nazel Mohamed behind him, and approaching the basket step by step. Facing Glen Davis' strong hit, Nazel Mohamed performed very tenaciously in the confrontation, firmly guarding the small area under the basket.
As time passed by little by little, Glen Davis knew that if this continued, he might not be able to get a bargain. Taking advantage of the opportunity to exert force, the ball quickly handed over to the outside.
The opportunity that finally appeared was not easy, and Rajon Rondo would not miss it. The moment the ball was received, the person had jumped up quickly. The ball stayed in his hand for a very short time and flew out from his fingers.
After landing, Rajon Rondo breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few minutes of the game, he saw the opponent tie the score and overtake. Moreover, the scores of both sides were getting bigger and bigger, but he was unable to succeed on the outside. He felt very frustrated. This goal greatly exclaimed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Rajon Rondo made a three-pointer, allowing the Celtics to narrow the gap to 6 points, and the score on both sides is now 24:30.
