After seeing such a scene on the court, Rivers can only sigh, James Posey is still old, if it is the old James Posey, even if he is thrown away, it is impossible to be thrown away so many steps, at least Being able to keep up makes the opponent dare not make a shot so easily.

Rivers understands Stephen's characteristics very well. His speed is not very fast, but players who are faster than him are definitely not as strong as him, and players who are stronger than him are absolutely impossible to be faster than Stephen in terms of speed. Quick, although with Garnett in the interior, Stephen made fewer breakthroughs to the interior than against other teams, but just shooting from the outside is enough for the Celtics to deal with.

Stephen's shooting is not as accurate as Ray Allen's. He is not a player who is good at shooting, just like no one regards players like Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Iverson as shooters. Good at shooting, but not completely dependent on shooting, and Stephen's nature is similar to them.

Once their touch is up, it is unstoppable, continuous shooting is nothing at all, and Stephen's state since this season can prove that his touch has been hot to scalding, for such players, regular The defensive method is of no use at all.

Under the defense of Kurt Thomas, Garnett missed another shot. In the Celtics' current system, he is not the team's main inside attacker, but exists as a defensive gate between the outside and inside. Yes, it is the most important part of the Celtics' airtight defense, but it really has nothing to do with the offense.

In the rebounding team competition, Robert Swift took advantage of his height to poke the ball over Steco Pollard's head first, but he was unable to hold the ball, so he pushed the ball hard to his own Fanned away at halftime.

Eddie House was closer to the ball, but Ridnour's speed was faster, and both hands reached towards the ball almost at the same time. At this time, Ridnor suddenly roared, exerted force on his feet, and leaned vertically When he got up, the whole person rushed towards the basketball like a sharp arrow.

Finally, he touched the ball before Eddie House, but Eddie House saw Ridnor rushing up to get the ball desperately, and rushed over. Ridnor didn't dare to hesitate at all, and directly touched the ball with his fingers. Dial, and dial to Stephen not far away.

Then he fell heavily on the floor with a "plop" and let out a muffled groan, but he swallowed it forcefully, in order not to affect the team's offense. Sure enough, under the harassment of James Posey, Stephen still got the ball.

But at this time, all the Celtics players have retreated to the midfield line, but under the entanglement of Kurt Thomas, Garnett failed to reach the basket. This is a good time to attack. Stephen accelerated with a stride. Just got rid of James Posey's defense.

Facing Ray Allen Stephen, who was blocked in front, he didn't hesitate at all, and rushed straight towards Ray Allen without stopping. Ray Allen's strength was not enough to force Stephen to the outside line, so he could only push as far as possible with Stephen.

Stephen didn't pay attention to this level of harassment at all. Ray Allen's actions on the side seemed to be doing useless work, and he ran towards the basket with unusual firmness. Stephen suddenly jumped up high, put the ball on the back, and then the ball rose to a very high altitude and then began to fall until it fell into the basket.

This kind of throwing action that looks like a throw but is not a throw is rare. Most of the time when it appears, it is because there is no hope for the shot, so it is so reluctant to shoot, but looking at Stephen's shot, it seems like this situation , and based on his situation at the time, if he was not sure, he could break through a certain distance further.

After sending the ball into the basket, Stephen began to retreat. At this time, he saw that Ridnor had just got up from the ground and was rubbing his shoulder with his hands. When he fell to the ground just now, he directly hit his back elbow. position, he felt severe pain from his arm, but for the team's victory, he still made such a move.

Injuries used to be the biggest factor that prevented him from developing further. The main reason why Watson was able to gain the upper hand in the competition with him was that he was often affected by some minor injuries and illnesses. As a ball guard, the most important thing is stability.

So later he gradually changed his style of play, but in this way, his impact was reduced a lot, so that his performance was comparable to that of Watson, and he didn't want to be like this, but the injury made him He dare not let go of his hands and feet to express himself.

However, as the team's record gradually improved, Ridnor was also very touched. He gradually realized that this is what a team should perform and strive to win with all their strength, and the dispute with Wilkins made him He has a sense of crisis, especially when Wilkins' performance is getting better and better.

He can only try his best to avoid being sacrificed by the team when the team needs it.His change has also been seen by many people. In recent games, his playing time has increased.

When Stephen ran past him, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder. We should appreciate the desperate spirit of his teammates. Although the relationship between the two is not very good, but as the boss of the team, Stephen, Sometimes it is necessary to show the bearing of being the boss.

Ridnor's complexion immediately looked better, and the pain seemed to have eased. He has now realized that Stephen's ability and reputation are not something he can challenge, and those unrealistic ideas It has long since disappeared without a trace.

Once a person puts himself in the right position, it's like a sudden enlightenment. When he is no longer obsessed with things that have nothing to do with basketball, his performance will naturally rise to a higher level. Although his arm still hurts, Reid Nuo still tried his best to defend Eddie House.

Eddie House didn't have the ability to organize a team's offense. Just after halftime, he was about to hand the ball to Garnett to play, but Ridnor's defense made him very uncomfortable. When he took two steps forward and passed the ball again, a figure suddenly stabbed diagonally from one side and stole the ball from him.

Stephen keenly noticed his hesitation on the side, so naturally Stephen would not be polite. After the steal was completed, Stephen immediately quickened his pace and ran towards the basket.

Stephen was running very fast, and when he was approaching the basket, he suddenly smashed the ball to the ground, then caught the bouncing ball with both hands, and at the same time dodged James Posey's foul, swung his arm and smashed the ball into the basket middle.

Eddie House then shot a three-pointer, intending to make up for it, but the ball didn't go in, and was almost grabbed by Stephen for a rebound. Fortunately, Garnett snatched the ball and sent the ball into the basket at the same time.

Stephen didn't pay much attention to the opponent's scoring. For a team as strong as the Celtics, the strength of their own team is not enough to limit the opponent's scoring. What Stephen has to do is to score as much as possible. Reduce the difference.

After coming back, Stephen broke through with the ball again, but when he was about to reach the basket, he suddenly distributed the ball to Ridnour on the outside. Ridnour did not disappoint his pass, a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the left The ball flew into the basket cleanly.

Ray Allen stood up and made a three-pointer, but Stephen assisted Kurt Thomas to hit a three-pointer. The Celtics missed the attack, but Stephen scored two points with a fadeaway jumper. Allen continued to try a three-pointer, but this time he missed.

In the rebound battle, Robert Swift had the last laugh. After firmly locking the rebound, Robert Swift directly launched a long pass. After Stephen received the ball, before he had time to launch an attack, he Hugged by James Posey.

Both of Stephen's two free throws failed. Seeing that the advantage is getting smaller and smaller, but the Supersonic team's persistence in chasing points is like an endless tide. Rivers feels vigilant, but look at Paul who just sat down to rest Pierce, Rivers hesitated again.

Sometimes the opportunity is so fleeting, if he makes a substitution now, maybe there is still time to change something, but when he hesitated, Stephen over there passed Kurt Thomas' pick-and-roll screen and made a standard mid-range jumper Get two points.

When Rivers made up his mind to call a timeout, the advantage of eleven points was only one point left, and the third quarter was about to end, with only a little more than two minutes left, all the main players of the Celtics They all returned to the court. At the same time, the Sonics also replaced all their starters. The decisive battle that was originally planned to be put in the fourth quarter had to start early.

As soon as Paul Pierce came up, he used his back single to create a foul on Durant. Not only were there two free throw opportunities, but Durant had already fouled four times. If you get it again, there will be no problem, it's a bit too early now.

This is why Durant not only does not dare to use all his strength when defending, but also needs to be more careful when attacking. How can he play well with his hands tied? Originally, the adjusted Durant can just be Stephen's helper. .

Paul Pierce made two free throws. After returning, Stephen's shot missed the basket. Fortunately, Coupard made up the ball. The huge tonnage allowed him to face the same tonnage and outstanding Perkins. , on the contrary, he was more active because he was young. Seeing Stephen working so hard made Coupard feel a little ashamed and began to use all his abilities.

By the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides became 91 to 89. The Celtics still had a two-point lead, but the balance of victory was no longer biased in their favor. Let them have a chance of victory.
