Chapter 189 stalemate
After the timeout ended, sure enough, the Celtics immediately found a way to deal with the Lakers' stealth defense.In fact, it is very simple. Since the Lakers use Li Du's speed to steal the ball, the Celtics only need to let Li Du's defense Ray Allen strengthen his offense and running on the offensive end.

Ray Allen's mid-range and long-range shots are extremely fast, and his hit rate is very high. As long as he strengthens his offense, Li Du will not dare to let him go. At the same time, Ray Allen is also an excellent running player. Running the entire game without interruption, as long as he keeps running and drives Li Du to follow up the defense, Li Du will not be able to help defend the inside line.

In just one round, everyone on the Lakers knew that the Celtics had seen through their own defensive strategy, so in the second round, the Lakers immediately switched back to normal defense, using man-to-man. , immediately make up the defense.It seemed that this was just a simple matchup defense, but since Odom was off the field and Fisher was replaced, the Lakers changed to Fisher chasing and defending Ray Allen, and Li Du defending Pierce.

After receiving the ball from Rondo, Pierce saw Li Du as his defender, and immediately decided on his style of play.He is taller and stronger than Li Du, so he happens to attack with his back.Pierce also knew that Li Du must have studied his own offensive moves before the game, but among these stars who have been in the NBA for more than ten years, which one of their technical moves has not been thoroughly studied by others, and no one can really limit it. them!This is the power of the NBA superstar's unique trick. You understand his offensive moves, but you still can't stop him!

It's a pity that Pierce met Li Du this time. He also watched Li Du's game video and knew how terrible Li Du was on the defensive end. At most, he had an impression of Li Du and knew to beware of Li Du, that's all.

Next, Li Du left a lasting impression on Pierce.Pierce changed his footsteps while leaning against Li Du and squeezed inside.Li Du also kept changing his footsteps. As Pierce walked inside, he kept his defensive position. He must stand directly in front of Pierce, and Li Du constantly strengthened his physical strength to fight against him during the defense process. Consume Pierce's stamina.

When Pierce squeezed Li Du almost in the vicinity, the Lakers still had no one to help defend, which made Rivers a little vigilant. Li Du's defense against him today can be said to be very easy. According to Li Du's strength in the past , His defense shouldn't be at this level!

Pay attention, so Pierce suddenly pushes away Li Du while taking a step back. Unexpectedly, he did not push Li Du at all when he pushed Li Du this time. When he backed up, Li Du stepped forward. Appeared directly in front of Pierce again.

"Huh? It's really powerful!" Pierce's most commonly used move was cracked by Li Du, but he had too many offensive moves to choose from. It doesn't matter if this trick is cracked, it's just a matter of organizing the attack again.

So Pierce, who had already received the ball and retreated, flicked his wrist, and the basketball was passed to Rondo's hands against Li Du's calf.There was still plenty of time to attack, and Rondo was not in a hurry. He waited for Pierce to pull Li Du away, and then passed the ball to Garnett inside.

Garnett and Gasol are two different styles, but they are equally comprehensive excellent basketball stars.Garnett held the basketball high, then turned his back and shot a fadeaway jumper.This is his stunt, so far no one has interfered with him.

Gasol's performance on the offensive end makes people feel incomprehensible, but on the defensive end, he is still a lot behind Garnett. Garnett made the ball with almost no interference, and Gasol could only stand In place, try to prevent Garnett from shooting and rebounding.

After the goal was scored, Garnett raised his eyes and glanced at Ray Allen, feeling a little sad for Ray Allen in his heart. Isn't it easy for Li Du to defend Ray Allen?Just block his runs and cuts.Li Du himself is an expert in this area, coupled with some unique footwork in Baguazhang, Ray Allen never got a good chance to attack.

From this point on, the two teams kicked off the inside offensive.Both teams are aware that the so-called "if you want to go outside, you must first go inside", no matter the Lakers or the Celtics, their offensive focus is actually on the outside, but if you want to have room to attack from outside, the inside must first show off its power and overwhelm the opponent's defense. If the play shrinks, the outside stars will get better outside shooting space.

This fight, both teams feel that it is difficult to handle!

Gasol against Garnett, Bynum against Perkins, and they were evenly matched.Both Garnett and Gasol rely on skills and footwork to score and defend, they belong to the same type, and they are similar.Similarly, Bynum and Perkins are both traditional American centers, with a little footwork, rough shooting skills, and strong strength. Perkins is tall and heavy, and Bynum is young and strong, and the two are similar.

After the two sides fought like this, it was not easy for anyone to score in the paint, and the shooting percentage was very low. At the end of the second quarter, the score of the two teams was only 32 to 36. It is difficult to narrow the gap, always hovering between 4 and 6 points.

The Lakers are not in a hurry. They took the initiative from the very beginning. If the Celtics don’t change their lineup or make adjustments in their style of play, then it doesn’t matter if they play until the end of the game. The Lakers still win and there is no absolute advantage inside. It is impossible to overtake the score by shopping inside.

On the Celtics side, Rivers was so anxious that he almost pulled his bald head off!Of course he also understands that if the Celtics don't make adjustments, the Celtics still won't be able to reverse the score if they go shopping inside.But the question is how to adjust?

The inside line couldn't be opened. On the outside line, Pierce was restricted by Li Du so that it was difficult to catch the ball. Rondo was let go by Kobe for two steps, and there was no chance of breakthrough at all.The only one that seems to have an advantage is Ray Allen vs. Fisher, but Fisher's defense against breakthroughs is poor, so it's no problem to defend against one person!And Rivers knows very well that Ray Allen is the most stable shooter on the outside. If Ray Allen is allowed to break through, it is no different from playing inside, and it will be difficult to score on the Lakers side!

The first half ended in a stalemate between the two sides. Li Du looked at the Celtics and asked Kobe softly, "Boss, they should have made adjustments long ago. Why didn't they make any moves at the end of the half? There must be no conspiracy!" "

Kobe smiled and walked into the player tunnel with Li Du, saying: "What kind of conspiracy can there be! They just have a hard time making a choice. They will definitely make adjustments in the second half, and they will definitely play from the outside. At that time, your The defensive task is heavy!"
