Chapter 344 Wharton is crazy
Forcibly shooting the ball, to Tianyang, it was like drinking water and eating, it was easy and extremely skillful.

The basketball passed Jaylen Brown's fingertips, and with a high-speed spinning posture, it drew a perfect arc in the air, and with a swish, it entered the net hollowly.

Kai fans have also seen countless big scenes, but this ball still has some impact on them, Tianyang is too horizontal.

Horford hurriedly retreated to the baseline and passed the ball to Hayward, who dribbled to the frontcourt.

Before halftime, Ingram stuck up and tried his best to interfere.

O'Neal: "It's too hard, it's completely like the finals G7."

Kenny: "Stay on the defense at the beginning of the game, do you still have energy until the fourth quarter?"

Barkley: "This is a tough fight, we might think it's just talk, but the players are serious."

Hayward dodged continuously, possibly worried about affecting the offensive efficiency, and gave the ball out.

Irving took the ball from the right sideline, faced Rondo, and instinctively began to dribble the ball under his crotch.

Stevens on the sidelines raised his eyebrows slightly, but soon opened them up again. Since Irving wants to single out, he can only let him do it once. If this goal is scored, it may be easier to play later.

I saw Owen switch the ball from behind to his right hand, suddenly raised his shoulders and took a big step, and when Rondo raised his left hand sideways to intercept, he immediately turned around and pulled the ball.

At this time, Rondo basically turned his back to Irving. When he turned back, Irving must have rushed to the three-point line.

In an instant, Rondo continued to turn backwards, became the same as Irving facing the hoop and kept parallel, and at the same time put down his left hand, and fished towards Irving.

Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it had been calculated long ago. After Irving turned around, the basketball was still on the right side of his body, and Rondo just caught the ball in his hand.

Such a scene left tens of thousands of fans in North Shore Garden stunned at the same time, and the expressions on their faces seemed to read: 'Is there such an operation? '

The sigh was not over yet, Rondo pushed the ball forward and sent it directly to Tianyang.

Tianyang raised the speed to the highest gear in a second, rushed across the center line like lightning, made an emergency stop outside the three-point line, shook Jay, and shot another three-pointer.

The basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net. The Lakers led 6-0. Stevens called a timeout.

O'Neal looked confused: "Where did the Celtics make a mistake? Why did they call a timeout?"

Kenny shrugged his shoulders: "I don't think there is anything wrong, it's just a steal, it's quite normal."

Barkley looked serious: "Being behind is the biggest mistake, just like I don't have a championship."

Soon the timeout ended, Irving received the ball in the backcourt and slowly brought it forward.

Walk to the top of the arc, pass the ball to Hayward, and slip to the basket by himself.

At this time, Baynes and Horford were the two strikers, separated the left and right elbows, and Jaylen Brown squatted in the right corner. Rondo saw through the Celtics' tactics at a glance, and immediately called out to remind Randall to pay attention.

Sure enough, after Irving slipped to the basket, he suddenly accelerated to the left, and Baynes immediately moved down from the elbow to block Rondo who was chasing behind him for Irving.

In Randall's view, this is a typical off-ball screen tactic, the purpose is to create space for Irving to shoot.

Reminded by Rondo, he had already reacted and moved laterally to the sideline in advance to intercept.

Owen was also very sharp on the spot. Seeing that there was no way to go, he stopped and ran decisively. With the help of Horford's cover, he got rid of Rondo again and strode to the short corner on the right.

Tianyang immediately moved forward to defend, and gave up guarding Jaylen Brown, which was very risky.

Unexpectedly, Hayward passed the ball to Burns who followed Irving and slipped to the basket together. It was too late for Randall, who was on the sideline, to chase.

Baynes received the ball, scored an easy dunk, and Walton called a timeout.

O'Neill: "Oh? When did Little Wharton become so irritable?"

Kenny: "I would do the same thing if I were to do the same. I have to show my momentum, and it's best to bluff my opponent."

Barkley: "Don't confuse your own players."

In a blink of an eye, the timeout ended and the game continued.

Rondo dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, rushed to the right wing with the help of Ingram and Randall's pick-and-roll successively, and faced Baines, who was changing defenses, he rushed into the inside line with a stride.At this time, Kuzma has taken Horford beyond the three-point line, and the basket is empty. Rondo rushed to the bottom, defended against Baynes, and scored a backhand layup.

This tactic is too simple, so simple that Stevens is a little unacceptable. He spent three hours yesterday to formulate how to defend the Lakers' mobile offensive tactics, and spent another 3 hours for the players to train, but the Lakers actually used it. The most primitive offensive tactics, the pick-and-roll is misplaced, and the small man beats the big man to gain speed.

The Celtics attacked again, Owen dribbled the ball forward slowly from the middle, and Rondo always kept a distance of two bodies to follow.

Baynes settled in the middle of the free throw line, Randall circled forward to defend, Hayward ran up from the left sideline, and Horford ran up to the top of the arc from the right 45 degrees. The two centered on Horford, one inside and one inside. Running without the ball in the field, Jaylen Brown still squatted in the right corner with Tianyang.

With his back to the basket, Rondo had no way of knowing what was going on behind him, but Tianyang saw all this in his eyes.

The Celtics are in such a position, as seen in yesterday's video analysis, this position can derive multiple tactics.

Either Horford circles to the left wing, Hayward returns to block Kuzma, and Horford catches the ball and hits the hoop.

Either Hayward pulls up at the free throw line, cuts to the basket, catches a pass and scores a layup.

Either Hayward rushes to the right 45 degrees, which is the position before Horford, and catches the ball for singles.

There were too many, and Tianyang made a slideshow in his mind to evaluate, but he really couldn't make a judgment in advance, so he could only take one step at a time.

While Tianyang was thinking, Horford had already rushed to the left wing, and Hayward also came to the right wing, facing Ingram and Kuzma respectively.But it was because of the inconsistency that Tianyang instantly realized how the Kais would play. He yelled in his heart that it was terrible, and immediately turned around and rushed to the basket.

Sure enough, Irving suddenly got up and threw the ball high, and Baynes took advantage of the situation and stepped back, catching the ball and picking the basket.

Randall also reacted quickly, but the distance from the free throw line to the basket was too short for a 208cm basketball player, no matter how fast he was, he could only be the same as Tianyang, staring blankly.

2 points scored, the Celtics fans chanted 'Beta LA'.

4 to 8, the Celtics are still behind, but Walton gets up and then pauses.

O'Neill was surprised: "What? What is Wharton doing?"

Kenny shook his head: "It's not necessary, one less pause, what should we do if we encounter big problems later?"

Barkley: "Stealing the show? Walton has turned himself over."

On the Lakers bench, Walton didn't use any tactics, but just beckoned everyone to surround him.

"The Celtics' tactics on the offensive end, I have seen it. They try to play the ball for Baynes. The core is to make it difficult for us to predict in advance, so in the next time, they may give any player who comes off the bench. When playing the ball, everyone should not look at the defense; in addition, Jaylen Brown always brings Tianyang to the bottom corner, which directly reduces their huge pressure on the outside, and we must make changes."

"Our way of dealing with it is very simple. As the saying goes, we should stay the same and respond to all changes. If we guess what they think, even if we can think of it, we will definitely fall behind. We need to preemptive strikes!"

"So in the next defense, we used a full-court press tactic and continued until the end of the game."

The full-court pressing tactics are very effective, but they are also extremely dependent on the personal abilities of the players, and consume a lot of physical energy. If the scale is not well grasped, it is easy to get into foul trouble.

With such a demanding defensive tactic, Walton made the Lakers players stick to it for the entire game. In addition, he called two timeouts in a row. O'Neal in the TNT live broadcast room couldn't help complaining: 'Wharton is crazy'.
