NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Trash talk is still trash talk after all, on the basketball court, if you want to respond, it takes more than words!

Both Tatum and Bradley knew this. When Tatum got the ball, both Tatum and Bradley shut up tacitly.

They all became more focused.

Facing Bradley again, this time Tatum obviously became serious.

In the round just now, Tatum already knew that Bradley, who was defending him in front of him, was a cunning defender.

He is not easy to deal with!
Soon, Tatum moved.

Quickly using his body rhythm, shaking Bradley in front of him.

After struggling to get out of a position, Tatum seized the opportunity and stepped over to the inside.

Bradley quickly followed, relying on the quick defensive steps unique to the little man, after a few steps, he finally got stuck in Tatum's offensive steps again.

But now, Tatum has approached the inside line. At this distance, Tatum's physical advantage will be very, very large.

Tatum also realized this, and quickly leaned against Bradley to protect the ball first.

Then beat Bradley with his own body.

Relying on his physical advantage to approach the inside, Tatum hits deep.

In this position, if Tatum is allowed to squeeze two more steps, the ball will definitely be lost!
The Lakers outside striker Boucher realized this, and hurried over to help defend, trying to block Tatum with Bradley.

Seeing this, Tatum took advantage of the moment Boucher came up, and Tatum decisively passed the ball from his hand to Grant Williams on the baseline.

On the way of passing the ball, Boucher reached out and touched the ball, and the passing route of the ball was slightly deflected.

Although Grant Williams finally caught the ball, he staggered when he received the ball.

After receiving the ball, Grant Williams made a quick shot and made an open three-pointer!

But it seemed that he had just played and didn't have much possession of the ball. Grant Williams didn't have a good grasp of this ball, and he missed the ball in the end.

But the Celtics played very well in this ball, and it was a standard Celtic round.

Use Tatum's containment power to play team basketball.

Although Grant Williams didn't throw the ball in in the end, there was no problem with this shot.

Celtics head coach Udoka was also very satisfied. Looking at Grant Williams, who was a little frustrated because he didn't make a three-pointer, Udoka comforted him:
"Hey man, calm down, good shot selection, play defense, throw the ball in next time!"

Grant Williams nodded silently when he heard his coach's words, and quickly returned to his defensive position after gesturing that he was fine.

The ball was once again in the hands of the Lakers.

Brogdon advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, facing Smart standing in front of him, Brogdon didn't want to play singles by himself, but called a tactic.

An off-ball shooter tactic.

With Brogdon gesturing, Lakers shooter Covington began to move quickly.

With the continuous help of two teammates' pick-and-rolls, Covington circled from the bottom line on the right to 45 degrees on the left.

After receiving the ball, Covington was still a step and a half away from the defender.

Without hesitation, Covington shot a jumper directly.

It stands to reason that this ball is a sure thing for Covington.

But for some reason, this time the goddess of luck just didn't stand on Covington's side, and the basketball went out of the basket.

This rebound was grabbed by Tatum of the Celtics.

After getting the rebound, Tatum did not hesitate. After quickly advancing to the frontcourt, he suddenly used a big move, a horizontal step jumper, and scored 3 points.

Usually this kind of opportunity should be a counterattack, but Tatum actually chose to shoot a three-pointer.

It has to be said that the heart is really big, and it is true that only the leader of the team can make this shot.

After Tatum's goal was scored, it seemed to open a certain valve of Tatum, the next four rounds.

Tatum's state has improved, and he has made consecutive shots from inside and outside, and the organization helped the Celtics score.

For four consecutive rounds, under the explosion of Tatum, the Celtics scored three three-pointers, one breakthrough, and scored 14 points!
Fortunately, Brogdon's organization on the Lakers side was okay, and he scored a little points, otherwise, he would have been beaten by the Celtics.

It was a little frightened to be hit by Tatum who suddenly exploded, so Vogel quickly called a timeout to cool down Tatum's hand.

"Hey, James, thick eyebrows, you two are ready to play!"

"Brogdon, Boucher, you two, come down and have a rest!"

Vogel looked at the Lakers generals standing on the bench and explained.

Seeing Tatum in this state, Vogel had no choice but to let James and Big Eyebrows play.

Remove Boucher and Brogdon.

Obviously, the reason why Vogel made such adjustments is to enhance the strength of the lineup.

Take a good look at Tatum!

"Guys, for a while, Covington and Bradley, you two give me a chokehold on Tatum, don't let him fight like that again!"

"The rest, pay attention to Tatum's passing route, cut off his passing route, and once it is stolen, it will be a defensive counterattack immediately!"

"On the offensive end, our strategic goal for a while is to force the Celtics' center Lowe or Theis out, and it is best to force Lowe out!"

"So, on the offensive end, we have to rely on our size advantage to hit me inside, one by one!"

"Deck, Thick Eyebrow, James, all go inside and fuck me!"

"Pay attention to the offensive rebounds. Once your teammates make a shot, Nongmei and Dyke, you will go inside to grab offensive rebounds for me!"

Vogel looked at everyone on the Lakers seriously, arranging his own game strategy.

Obviously, Vogel wants to use the Lakers' five-forward advantage to force Udoka to play center.

Then make a fuss about the big center on Uduka.

It is conceivable that once such an offensive strategy is put on the field, Celtics coach Udoka will immediately fall into a dilemma.

Soon, timeout is up.

The game restarts.

The Lakers have the ball. James implemented Vogel's strategy for this ball. Facing Smart's defense, James slowly dribbled the ball at the top of the arc. Now the momentum is almost in the hands of the Celtics. inside.

The Lakers must respond!

Therefore, James must play this ball with momentum!
