At the same time, the Celtics also replaced Ray Allen and Garnett, Paul Pierce returned to the field, plus Rondo in the main lineup, and replaced Tony Allen, Stecopo Ladd and Scalabrine formed the lineup on the field.

The Sonics lineup is Robert Swift, Nick Collinson, Szczerbiak, Wilkins and Watson. This lineup is relatively good defensively. Carlesimo wants to use this lineup to stabilize for a period of time. Try to hold off until Stephen has enough rest to get back on the court.

Under the tight defense of the Celtics, the Supersonics only had Stephen who could maintain a normal score, but the Celtics are currently switching to this lineup and they are also defensive-oriented, so the second half lasted up to one point at the beginning of the second half. Within half a minute, neither team could score.

Until Paul Pierce beat his old teammate Szczerbiak, causing Szczerbiak to make two free throws for a foul. Shooting from the outside, and occasionally a post-up single, the lightness of Szczerbiak's defense is nothing.

In just 3 minutes, Szczerbiak had already paid the price of two fouls, but he still couldn't stop Paul Pierce from showing off. After the score was overtaken, the gap continued to expand with Paul Pierce's performance. To make matters worse, Tony Allen's touch also began to explode.

The combination of the two quickly expanded the score gap to more than double digits, while the Sonics only relied on Szczerbiak's three-point shooting and Wilkins' breakthrough to score five points. , that is, the Sonics were beaten by their opponents in a small climax of [-] to [-].

Seeing that the gap continues to widen, Carlesimo feels that this cannot continue. The opponent is a defensive team like the Celtics. The point difference has been widened. If you want to reverse it, you have to pay more The team's efforts were several times higher, so Carlesimo immediately called a timeout.

To be honest, it was only in the last two or three games that Carlesimo found the feeling of being a head coach. At the same time, he also had a feeling of handiness in the overall control of the team. During the two years with the Spurs, he was only in charge of Tactics and game strategy, I am used to only thinking about this aspect, and have become a little rigid.

In fact, when a head coach has to deal with far more than these things, it also includes the relationship management in the locker room, the progress and improvement of players, and the team's season goal planning. These are all big or long-term aspects, and there are some subtleties. Not all affairs are handed over to assistant coaches.

Although Carlesimo was the chief assistant coach when he was in the Spurs, he didn't need to be involved in many things, because **vici himself is a very energetic person. Country of work of the manager.

After finding the feeling of being a head coach, Carlesimo's on-the-spot decision-making has increased a lot, and he has a little more confidence than before. Although the opponent is a strong team like the Celtics, it is not impossible in his heart Victory, this confidence stems from his understanding of Stephen, and also from his record since the start of the game.

During the timeout, he replaced three players, Szczerbiak, Nick Collinson, and Watson, and replaced them with Stephen, Kurt Thomas, and Ridnour, clearly to enhance the team's offensive ability With the current situation of the Sonics, he never thought of fighting the opponent's defensive intensity. Just now, he just wanted to let Stephen rest for a while before he could play better. Under the circumstances, Paul Pierce can still score so many points.

At the same time that the Sonics made changes, the Celtics also made changes. They replaced Tony Allen, Paul Pierce, Rondo, Scalabrine, and replaced Ray Allen, James Posey, and Garnett. Te and Eddie Houstony Allen, both sides made large-scale substitutions at the same time, but after the substitutions, the lineup was half main force and half substitute.

Now the third quarter has only played 6 minutes and 47 seconds, and it is not yet the time to decide the outcome. Although the Celtics are now leading the Supersonics by [-] points, for the Supersonics, for Stephen, [-] points The score is not a big difference.

With Stephen's scoring ability, the difference of [-] points is really not a problem. No, just after playing, although James Posey is also a defensive player in the league's swingman position, but against Stephen Still not enough to see.

First of all, he is no longer the James Posey who was in the Heat period. A defensive player like him has relatively high requirements for physical fitness. After two years, his physical function will inevitably decline, but Stephen has become even more Adapt to this body, and become more proficient in the use of technology.

So Stephen first made a forward probing, then took a step back, and made a posture to make a shot. James Posey immediately rushed over. James Posey's hand just swept over Stephen's arm.

James Posey's impression of Stephen still remains at that time. Stephen's offense was a bit stubborn. He never thought that Stephen had grown to this point now. James Posey made a lesson of empiricism, so he had to swallow this by himself. Bitter fruit.

Since James Posey's foul didn't have much impact on Stephen, Stephen's shot flew into the basket accurately, but when Stephen made the shot, he stood outside the three-point line with one foot and stepped on the other. On the three-point line, so the ball is just a two-point shot.

With Stephen making the ball, the score of the two sides became 73 to 65. The visiting team was still in front and the home team was behind. The Celtics began to organize the offense. Because of his height, he mostly appears at the point guard position. In fact, his organizational skills are not outstanding, but he is more like a shooting guard.

Ridnour's defense was not good, but he still forced him to almost make a mistake, and hurriedly handed the ball to Ray Allen, but Ray Allen was not good at organizing, so he took care of Eddie House. Ray Allen handed the ball to Garnett inside.

After Garnett got the ball, he faced Kurt Thomas' defense. No matter in terms of height or wingspan, Kurt Thomas was far behind Garnett, but Kurt Thomas' defense was crazy. That's why he's called "Crazy Eye" or "Dirty Kurt".

Garnett is not good at and doesn't like attacking the basket. His shooting range is roughly outside the three-second zone, usually mid-range jumpers and turnaround jumpers behind the back. But under the defense of Kurt Thomas, he The post-up turnaround jumper missed the rebound, but he quickly jumped up and took off the rebound.

Facing the basket, he can actually shoot. With Kurt Thomas' height, he dared to shoot without even leaning back. But at the moment of the shot, he found Ray Allen at 45 degrees on the left wing from the corner of his eye. The corner got rid of Wilkins' defense and was running towards the corner, so he quickly changed his intention and passed the ball to the left corner.

When Ray Allen rushed to the horse, Garnett's pass followed. Ray Allen turned around and could shoot directly after receiving the ball. At this time, Wilkins was still two steps away from him. Although he has increased his speed to the extreme, it is still too late.

This position is Ray Allen's most threatening position. According to the technical analysis, Ray Allen's shooting percentage in this position is as high as 70.00%. However, it is even higher than many people's free throw percentage. , After the shot, the ball flew into the basket without any hindrance, and the point difference returned to eleven points.

Stephen made a secret gesture to Ridnor at this time, and Ridnor immediately nodded in understanding. After the serve, Ridnour rushed forward as soon as he received the ball. In terms of speed, he wanted to Much better than Eddie House, even with the ball.

Eddie House didn't expect it at all, and was pulled away all of a sudden. Although James Posey came over and delayed, Ridnor controlled the ball very steadily, and suddenly stopped ahead of time. When he stopped, he suddenly accelerated again, passed James Posey, continued to accelerate, and killed the Celtics' basket.

However, Garnett, the most outstanding perimeter player, stood under the Celtics basket. Although Ridnour was as dexterous as a civet cat, Garnett still blocked his way ahead of time. , At the same time, he stretched his limbs as much as possible to expand his defensive range, but Ridnour greeted him without fear, but when the two were about to make contact, he passed the ball to the outside.

Stephen didn't come over in a hurry, because he knew that no matter how threatening Ridnor's performance was, the Celtics' defense would always focus on themselves, so he didn't rush to start his own actions. Instead, it seemed like standing there watching, giving people a feeling that they were not satisfied with Ridnor's going it alone.

When Ridnour started to hit the basket, he suddenly took his own steps and ran behind Ridnour from one side. Although James Posey had been vigilant about Stephen's actions, Stephen's speed was too fast By the time he realized that he wanted to chase, Stephen had already run several steps away.

If he didn't keep up with one step, it would be too late, not to mention three or four steps. When he chased after him, he saw Stephen standing there, receiving the ball thrown from Ridnour's back, and then jumped up and shot the ball. It flew into the basket as smoothly as Ray Allen's three-pointer just now.
