The most versatile player in history

Chapter 184

For the rest of the first quarter, the Knicks always maintained the advantage in the situation.

36:26
The Knicks entered the second quarter with a [-]-point lead.

The Celtics relied on tough defense and recovered a few points in the first half of the second quarter, but as the main force of the Knicks returned to the field, the Knicks once again opened up the point difference.

64:50
Halftime is over.

In the second half of the game, the Celtics obviously strengthened their defense, especially Smart, who stared at Lu Shaojie like a madman.

Whether Lu Shaojie has the ball or not, Smart never leaves.

But it didn't work.

After Lu Shaojie got the ball, with the cover of his teammates, he could easily get rid of Smart's defense.

Want to defend against Lu Shaojie alone?
Not at all realistic.

When facing a defensive player, Lu Shaojie can rush, shoot and pass.

Too many choices.

The head coach of the Celtics made various attempts against Lu Shaojie in this game, but none of them worked.

In the third quarter, Lu Shaojie scored 15 points, leading the team to play wave after wave of offensive.

92:74
At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two teams has widened to [-] points.

In the fourth quarter, the Celtics did not give up.

Relying on the tenacious defense of the players, in the first half of the fourth quarter, the Celtics played a wave of 10:2, narrowing the point difference to ten.

With 8 minutes left before the end of the game, Lu Shaojie played again.

The Celtics also sent a winning lineup.

Walker, Smart, Jaylen Brown, Tatum, Thompson.

This lineup is not very suitable for the Knicks.

But this is already the Celtics' best lineup on the court.

The most troublesome thing for the Celtics is Lu Shaojie.

Both Walker and Smart are too short to defend Lu Shaojie.

Jaylen Brown is still reluctant, but the effect is not good.

Tatum wants to defend Randall mainly, but he can't get out.

Thompson's pace is too slow, he will be trained by Lu Shaojie.

In the end, the task was handed over to Smart.

The game continues.

With the cover of his teammates, Lu Shaojie passed Smart in one step.

But Smart quickly followed, and Lu Shaojie ignored him and jumped up to shoot.

The ball goes in.

96:84
Walker dribbled the ball across half court and passed to Smart.

Smart then transfers the ball to Tatum.

Tatum made a strong shot against Randall's defense.

The ball is in.

96:86
"Rex Rabbit Niubi!"

"Just cast hard, haha."

"Although the goal was scored, it was unreasonable."

"What's unreasonable, this is Ball Planet, it couldn't be more reasonable."

"That is, as long as the ball can be scored, it is reasonable."

The goal was scored, and the Celtics fans praised it.

If you don't enter, you will definitely be scolded.

Then Randall responded to Tatum with a three-pointer.

99:88
Tatum took the initiative to ask for the ball, borrowed the cover of his teammates, and made a three-pointer.

The ball missed.

Randall grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Lu Shaojie.

Lu Shaojie came off quickly, and Smart fouled.

No foul count.

The sideline ball was sent, Payton received the ball, and Robinson made a pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball to Robinson who was running down.

Robinson attracted two defenders and passed the ball to Burks who was open.

Burks made a three-pointer.

The ball goes in.

102:88
The Celtics head coach called a timeout.

"It's over, the Celtics lost."

"I really can't beat it."

"It's impossible to defend, the Knicks have too many attack points."

"You can't beat the Knicks on defense alone, you have to play an efficient offense."

The fans have seen the Celtics' problems, and the coaches know it even more.

The staffing is like this, and it can only be adjusted through tactics and cooperation between players.

After the pause.

The Celtics players are patiently looking for misplacement opportunities through passing and cutting cooperation.

First, Tatum faced Payton's defense, playing big and small, and scored a two-pointer.

Then Walker found Burks, used small to play big, used his footsteps to open up space, and scored in the mid-range shot.

The Knicks failed to score in two offenses, and the Celtics recovered four points.

102:92
The ball is in the hands of the Celtics.

Walker found Randall this time, and wanted to use his footsteps to find room for shots.

However, his shot was blocked by Randall, Lu Shaojie got the ball and scored on a fast break.

104:92
There are only 4 minutes left before the end of the game.

Walker hands the ball to Tatum.

Tatum found another chance to single Payton.

Jumping high, Tatum shoots over Payton.

The ball goes in.

104:94
With a ten point difference, there is still suspense in the game.

Lu Shaojie dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, and suddenly started, shaking Smart's footsteps unsteadily, then Lu Shaojie stepped back and made a three-pointer.

The ball goes in.

107:94
"Key goal!"

"This three-pointer made the Celtics players a little frustrated!"

"It took a lot of hard work to get two points, and the opponent backhanded a three-pointer. It was an easy goal. Anyone would be frustrated."

"At this critical moment, it is necessary to rely on the stars to open the situation."

"Lu Shaojie is still stable!"

"The star quality of the Celtics is still a bit worse."

The two commentators were blunt and compared Lu Shaojie and Tatum.

No matter how you look at it, Lu Shaojie has the upper hand.

The game continued, Smart missed a three-pointer, and Lu Shaojie played a fast break after grabbing a rebound.

Smart fouled and sent Lu Shaojie to the free throw line.

"Smart is so stupid!"

"Impressed!"

"Hurry up and admit defeat!"

"What else are you playing?"

The Celtics fans couldn't stand it anymore, and caught Smart having a good meal.

Lu Shaojie made two free throws.

109:94
With only 2 minutes left before the end of the game, there is basically no suspense in this game.

However, the Celtics have no intention of giving up the game, and all the main players are on the court.

Walker quickly shot a three-pointer.

The ball missed.

Randall grabbed the rebound and Walker fouled.

Randle goes to the free throw line.

Made two free throws.

111:94
After the ball, the Celtics replaced all the main players and gave up the game.

Subsequently, the Knicks also replaced all the main players.

The game enters garbage time.

"Lu Shaojie!"

"Lu Shaojie!"

"Lu Shaojie!"

When the main players of the Knicks left the field, the enthusiastic fans cheered and applauded.

Especially when Lu Shaojie left the stage, everyone stood up and applauded him.

This is the biggest recognition for him.

Since Lu Shaojie joined the New York Knicks, there have been countless such scenes.

The fans of the Knicks are so happy to witness the teams they support win one after another.

This No. [-] lottery is worth it!

Sure enough, Ujiri!

Have a vision!
