I'm not really a role player

Chapter 198 The Game Ends

The game entered the midfield, and the players of the two teams, the commentary coaches, the fans of the North Shore Garden and the race knights all recharged their batteries for a quarter of an hour.

Immediately afterwards, the second half of the game began.

The Celtics are still unchanged. They attack with all their main force, and they have discharged the inside combination of Perkins and KG, the wing combination of Pierce and Ray Allen, and replaced the point guard with Tony Allen.

Although trailing at halftime, Doc Rivers and Thibodeau still didn't put Li Ke's counterattack in an important position until——

At the beginning of the second half, when the Celtics attacked, Pierce asked Perkins to play a pick-and-roll, but the quality was really bad. Li Ke quickly evaded the screen...

Turning around, Pierce passed the ball out, and Garnett, who received the ball, shot an iron-blooded jumper, but was disturbed by Humphries who was behind him.

Clang!
The basketball smashed out of the frame, but the Bobcats under the basket cooperated.

The old shark caught Perkins, and the rebound fell, but he didn't catch it. When everyone was puzzled, Lao Ai appeared. He rushed in and picked up the rebound.

"Counterattack counterattack!"

"Sheldon, your ball!"

Lao Ai shouted loudly, followed by an extremely fast pass!

Obviously, Li Ke's counterattack in the first half has gained the trust of his teammates.

Li Ke, who received the ball, did not disappoint his teammates' trust. He turned around and counterattacked directly. The Celtics' double Allen and Pierce quickly chased back.

However, Li Ke's speed was extremely fast, breaking through the Celtics' extremely fragile defensive line early in the morning.

The only thing standing in front of him was Jun Zilei who was defending against him, but Jun Zilei was also passed by in one step, and then was quickly thrown away...

Outside the three-point line in the frontcourt, Li Ke, who realized that his opponent was far away from him, stopped.

"Sheldon's counterattack, he stopped, and chased a three-pointer from outside the three-point line!"

Swish-!
The score jumped, 55 to 45, and suddenly the Bobcats had a double-digit lead.

Against the boos of the audience, Li Ke, who scored the goal, waved his fist, as if declaring: Stop pretending, showdown, I am the king of counterattacks!

Rivers and Thibodeau frowned. They were so far behind that it was unacceptable, but the second half had just started, and adjustments were impossible, so we had to play a few more rounds and see.

However, 1 minute later, Li Ke took another chance.

Still the same, catch the ball, counterattack, throw away the opponent by a large margin, and chase a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

With no one to defend, the A-level three-pointer is naturally extremely stable.

With two consecutive three-pointers, Rivers and Thibodeau realized that it was impossible not to adjust.

They have to admit that they did not put Li Ke's counterattack at the most important position.

The reason is that in the first half, after adjustments, they have limited the counterattack of the Bobcats, and they did not give many opportunities.

Whether it is Rivers or Thibodeau, both believe that maintaining the Celtics' overall defense and attacking the Bobcats as a whole is the most important thing.

After all, the opponent is not a civilian team, but a team that is considered to have four cores. If Li Ke directly abandons the chain defense of the Celtics, he may fall into the trap of the Bobcats.

Once the defensive system is broken, the other three cores of the Bobcats will exert their strength, and the game may collapse faster.

But now, Li Ke suddenly started to exert his strength, no longer slowly grinding two points by two points, and a wave of counterattacks would score three points.

The Bobcats also cooperated. The big man didn't make any shots under the basket, but only created opportunities for the small man to pick up rebounds.

And when the little man picks up the rebound, the Bobcats' counterattack will become very easy.

In the second half, Li Ke had already hit two chasing three-pointers, and 6 points were scored. After the score gap expanded to double digits, it was still further widening.

For the Celtics, a defense-oriented team, the trail of more than 10 points has made them unbearable.

"Tom, why don't James (Posey) go up and play the [-] and push KG to the [-]?"

Rivers wavered, and his proposal coincided with Kenny Smith and Barkley in the commentary.

"Obviously, the Celtics underestimated the power of the counterattack. They could no longer stop Sheldon's counterattack just by relying on a regular lineup of two players and three players."

"So, they have to switch to one big and four small ones, relying on the superiority of numbers to lock Shelton up."

If the counterattack can form a partial second defense and first defense, then they still have a good chance of blocking Li Ke. The problem is that the Celtics must have more small players to form a numerical advantage.

Thibodeau shook his head: "No, Doug, I understand what you think. You want to win the numerical advantage in the counterattack by making substitutions, but have you ever thought about it, what if the Bobcats also go to the fourth elementary school?"

To put it bluntly, the Bobcats' counterattack now depends on Li Ke alone, and has nothing to do with the number of counterattacks.

The Celtics replaced the fourth junior, and they were indeed able to solve Li Ke by relying on the advantage of some numbers.

But if the Bobcats also go to the fourth small, and the front court is four-on-four, the Bobcats will still have the advantage, because Li Ke, who is counterattacking, is no longer a defensive player who can restrain him.

"Let Tony guard Sheldon."

After thinking for a long time, Thibod found Tony Allen from the court.

Rivers hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I can only let the AI ​​go temporarily."

"No, you can't empty the AI, let Lei's defense be tougher, he is capable of defending against AI."

This statement is not false at all. The gentleman in the Bucks period defended against AI, and the effect was not bad.

But the premise of a good defense is that Jun Zilei's energy must be devoted to the defensive end.

Therefore, the final decision of the Celtics is to leave the offense to KG alone and defend with all his strength.

So, a timeout, the Celtics adjusted their style of play.

After the timeout, the game changed.

"Come back from the timeout, the Celtics have not changed, they are still insisting..."

The main lineup has not been replaced, and the defense is no different from before the timeout, but the first thing that changes is their offense.

Jun Zilei retreated to the corner, Pierce received the ball from the wing, and asked KG to play a pick-and-roll.

"PG pick-and-roll, no, it's hand-to-hand cooperation, KG catches the ball, sinks his head to break through, and throws the shot!"

Clang!
On the court, I don't know who it is, shouted: "Rebound!"

Hua Er Er jumped up: "Mine!"

The first time I landed was to look for Li Ke: "Sheldon!"

It was also the first time Li Ke received the ball without any hesitation, turned around and counterattacked, only to find that the guard against him had changed from one Allen to another Allen named Tony.

Facing the "Death Entangled Tony Teacher Version", Li Ke's sprint was immediately blocked. Although he quickly made adjustments, Tony Allen also responded quickly after the fake move, and continued to block Li Ke in front of the lateral movement.

Even if Li Ke adjusted his angle for the second time and rushed past, the counterattack was still a big step too late, and it no longer had the power it had at the beginning of the third quarter.

Even so, Li Ke still controlled the ball and rushed to the front court. Jun Zilei made up for it. The four defenses and four defenses in the front court did not have many opportunities. Li Ke took another step and threw a mid-range shot with an emergency stop.

With a bang, he didn't go in.

"Tony Allen actually blocked Sheldon!"

Kenny Smith was a little surprised at the commentary seat of TNT.

In 08, Mr. Tony's single defense was still somewhat underestimated, especially in the Celtics, a defense-oriented team:
Players who are not good at defense will be set off to be good at defense, and those players who are good at defense will also be questioned whether they have eaten the bonus of the team's overall defense.

Moreover, in the Celtics team, single-defense experts like Mr. Tony, and James Posey, even Junzi Lei and Rondo, because they don't need to bear too many offensive responsibilities, single-defense is also very outstanding.

Therefore, Mr. Tony, who is the main substitute, is not so conspicuous. Only Thibodeau and Rivers know how powerful Mr. Tony's single defense is.

The quality of Li Ke's counterattack was actually not high, but his speed was too fast, almost to the point of terror.

With such a terrifying speed, even Death Coil can stop him for a while.

Teacher Tony's Death Coil is not as famous as Leonard, but his defense is indeed mainly based on Coil and Bite.

So, at this time, Mr. Tony blocked Li Ke for a moment and prevented the bobcats from counterattacking. Kenny Smith was surprised and surprised, and the fans and race knights in North Shore Garden also became excited and excited——

"The Chinese are dead!"

“The staying power of Asians is terrible!”

"Soft egg!"

"..."

Two minutes later, there was another wave of counterattacks, and Mr. Tony blocked him again.

This time it was very thorough, because Mr. Tony correctly judged Li Ke's change of direction four times in a row, and the counterattack was not successful at all...

North Shore Garden seems to have won the game, cheering wildly, Kenny Smith can only sigh with emotion: "It's amazing, Tony Allen's defense is so good!"

"If the first half of the game is over, we will think that this game will be an astonishing representative match of Sheldon's career. Then in the second half of the game, Tony Allen stood up and blocked Shelton with two consecutive counterattacks. He has almost become famous with one goal!"

It is not very appropriate to say that one goal becomes famous, but everyone knows that if Tony Allen can completely block the unstoppable Li Ke in the first half and even at the beginning of the third quarter, then his single defense will get the greatest recognition.

"His single defense is as strong as Sheldon!"

As long as this kind of evaluation appears, what is it if it is not fame with one goal?
Li Ke was not surprised at all, he had expected this when Mr. Tony appeared.

If, in this game, Li Ke's performance made the Celtics the background board, then Mr. Tony made Li Ke the background board for his single defense.

The counterattack was blocked one after another, and the Bobcats' offense didn't make much progress. Lao Ai wanted to stand up and take over the game, but Junzilei's defense against him was also perfect. With the chain defense, he didn't give him a chance.

The Celtics' offense, KG hit a mid-range shot.

Then, the gentleman Lei Biao scored a three-pointer against the defense.

The score quickly narrowed to less than 10 points, and Kenny Smith even thought: "The Celtics counterattacked. They played too old and hot. It seems that the Bobcats can't stand it anymore."

But soon, the game continued. Facts have proved that the Celtics, who put most of their focus on the defensive end, KG and Jun Zilei teamed up to score 5 points in a row. It was just a coincidence.

The game continued, time flew by, the battle line stretched, and the game gradually entered a defensive rhythm.

Both sides are playing iron, no one can score, and no one thinks that this game is the so-called pecking of chickens.

The score gap was close to 10 points, but that was all. At the end of the third quarter, the score gap was 8 points.

At the start of the fourth quarter, after a few rounds, the score gap was still vacillating between 8 and 9 points, without any change.

……

So, in the quiet North Shore Garden, where only the incredible sound of inhalation remained, the 48-minute game went to the last second, the red light came on, and the timer beeped...

Li Ke grabbed the basketball and smashed it hard on the floor of the North Bank Garden, roaring!

"Congratulations to the Charlotte Bobcats, congratulations to Sheldon, they got a victory at North Shore Garden, a precious victory!"

"The Bobcats beat the Celtics, Sheldon beat the racists, they all won!"

In the garden on the North Shore, the knights of the race still refused to admit defeat, booing everywhere, but most of the voices of cursing disappeared...

Except for some brainless knights, all kinds of racial discrimination words continued to be sprayed, and the rest, I don't know how to scold them anymore.

Call Li Ke a softie?Wouldn't the Celtics who lost the game be softer?
Scolding Li Ke for not lasting?Listen to the intensity of the boos in the second half of the game, and then look at Li Ke who scored as many as 44 points in this game. Can't you understand who is not lasting?

To put it bluntly, the Celtics lost, and Li Ke and his Bobcats took away a victory from the North Shore Garden. The losers cannot comment on the winners.

Amidst the booing, Li Ke gave two thumbs up, and in the next second, pointed at the entire North Shore Garden, with his thumbs pointing down!
"Ohhhhhh! God, Sheldon provoked the entire North Shore Garden again!"

"Listen to the boos and abuse, it's horrible!"

"But unfortunately, this is the last voice of the Boston fans. There is no doubt that the league should severely punish the Celtics and the North Shore Garden Arena after this game..."

……

"Hurry up, clear the field, step on the horse, this Chinese guy is too capable of causing trouble!"

Li Ke's two downward thumbs made the situation in the entire North Shore Garden uncontrollable, and some fans were already trying to rush to the center of the field.

Fortunately, after the entire game, the Celtics had foreseen that something big might happen in this game, and they found emergency reinforcements from the Boston Police Department in the middle of the game.

At this moment, the North Shore Garden, whose security force has been greatly improved, tried its best to block the race knights who wanted to do it.

Then, the remaining security guards and police began to actively and forcibly clear the venue.

Facing the North Shore Garden, which was already on the verge of riots, Li Ke didn't panic at all, and even accepted an interview with a man in colorful clothes on the sidelines of the court.

"I don't want to talk about the so-called racial discrimination anymore. I have warned before the game, but obviously, the Celtics didn't respond in any way. I don't want to say how disappointed I am, but now, I can only rejoice that my team and I did not lose in front of the racial knights. We took a victory from the North Shore Garden, and I should and should not see this group of disgusting fans in the North Shore Garden in the remaining away games."
