Chapter 612: The secret hand of the Celts!
The game continued! Seeing He Yiming scored, the Celtics players' hearts darkened, and then booed again! Xinkeli also explained loudly: "He Yiming, he actually scored a goal! And it was a three-pointer, which was definitely a provocation!" After he said this, the Celtics fans were even more emotional, and many people began to curse!
The offense and defense are converted, and the ball rights belong to the Celtics! He Yiming's pass and one shot! The situation of the Lakers has improved a lot! Rondo and Ray Allen also secretly hated him. They just couldn't stand He Yiming's goodness. At this time, Rondo saw Rivers on the sidelines playing gestures!
Rivers just saw He Yiming making a three-pointer, his face was dark, his heart became ruthless, and he made that gesture to Rondo!
Seeing Rivers making gestures, Rondo also knew what he should do. He looked back at He Yiming and couldn't help but feel overjoyed! Now, how arrogant you are!
Ray Allen also saw Rivers' actions and felt gloating!
Soon, Rondo organized an attack, the Celtics ran, Garnett went out to cover, Gasol followed, and insider He Yiming was guarding alone!
At this time, Rondo passed the ball and the ball came to Garnett in the high position. Gasol hurriedly stepped forward and approached him without giving him a chance! It was not until Garnett was just a middleman, and he saw Pierce's position with his height!
Garnett directly threw a high ball to Pierce. Although the passing level of the ball was not very high, I still gave it to Pierce! Pierce held the ball and squeezed Bathir away with his body. However, Bathir was not panicked and just followed behind! After all, this kind of physical play was very exhausting, and Pierce probably didn't have much physical strength to come back!
Moreover, the Lakers had experience in defending James before, and now they are not easy to deal with Pierce! As expected, Gasol threw away Garnett and returned to the inside. With He Yiming at the basket and Bathirl behind him! Pierce was suddenly caught in the double-team of three people!
At this time, Battier, who saw the opportunity, quickly cut the ball from behind! Pierce picked up the ball when he was just surrounded. Battier's time to cut the ball was just right, and he broke the ball directly!
The Lakers' counterattack was launched directly, and Bathir gave the ball to He Yiming. He Yiming raised his hand high and avoided Rondo's sneak attack behind him. Then he exerted force and threw the ball into the frontcourt!
There were three Lakers players in the frontcourt! Kobe took the lead, Luke Walton followed closely, and Gasol had already arrived at the midfield position at this time!
Kobe received the ball first, and after controlling it, he went straight to the Celtics' inside line! There were only two Celtics who had time to defend, Ray Allen and Garnett!
Kobe was dodged and shook Ray Allen, who was unsteady, and then faced Garnett and threw the ball to the right. Gasol, who followed up, was in this position, and when he received the ball, he was just a dunk!
Garnett hurriedly got out of the way and didn't give Gasol the chance to ward off!
20:17! The score further widened!
"Dou!" Rivers called a timeout! The team's performance during this period made him very dissatisfied. The team's rhythm was also taken away and needed to be adjusted. Moreover, his tactics against He Yiming, Rondo and Lei Allen did not run out! This made Rivers very dissatisfied!
Seeing the Celtics player coming off the field, Rivers picked up the tactical board and explained it all! Then he pulled Rondo and Garnett to explain it again!
....................................................
The timeout ends! The game continues! It may be that the tactics brought some effect. The Celtics' offense was pretty good this time. Ray Allen cut the ball and Rondo passed the ball. Then Ray Allen passed it back to Garnett. Garnett took advantage of Gasol's untimely defense and broke into the inside, and Pierce, who followed him into the inside!
The two made a cooperation, and He Yiming made a quick decision and stopped Pierce. Although Pierce was stopped and did not cooperate with Garnett, Pierce also found his teammate and directly moved the ball to the bottom corner. Ray Allen!
Lei Allen made a three-pointer when he was empty!
Brush! Three-pointer hit, and Celtic fans cheered again!
The score is 20:20! The two teams tied! There are more than 4 minutes left in the first quarter, and the two teams start to substitution! The Lakers' substitute came on the bench and completely exploded offensive firepower, and the Celtics' substitute could only passively defend!
Seeing this, both Sinclair and those Celtic fans and Rivers were silent! There was no way to do this, it was not that he was not strong enough, but that his opponent was too strong!
Rivers did not call a timeout. This huge gap in strength cannot be solved by just a timeout. He could only watch the Celtics' substitute being beaten randomly. However, the good news is: there are only two minutes in the first quarter. Even if the Lakers are so powerful, the score will not be too big! The bad news is: the substitutes still have to face off in the second quarter!
Thinking of this, Rivers decided that he could only give it a try!
"Dou!" The first quarter ended! The score reached 27:23! The Lakers only led by 4 points!
In the lounge, Rivers said to a substitute player: "The Lakers' substitute has strong offensive firepower. If we still do this, there will be no suspense in the game! So, I need you to do your best!" Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Rivers continued: "First of all, don't defend!"
The words are amazing! Don’t defend, isn’t this letting the opponent pull the score bigger? But no one asked questions, they knew that Rivers must have a countermeasure later!
"First of all, the Lakers' substitute is very strong. The Rockets' substitute played against them before and were determined to defend, but they were still pressed to the ground. But if we fight with them, it will be different! First, our substitute firepower is stronger than that of the Rockets, and secondly, even if we don't have their strength, as long as we score the goal we should score step by step, the score will not be greatly pulled!"
"......" The Celtics players didn't say anything! But Rivers knew that they had listened to it! Now I'm waiting to see the effect of this tactic! If possible, the Celtics can't escape this game!
Sincli didn't say anything inciting at this time. After all, during the halftime break, even if his words were so exciting. The Lakers didn't play, and there was no object he was asked to say on the court!
