Chapter 201 Elevator Tactics
In the second half, the Lakers were more aggressive, and the Celtics were also struggling to catch up. But they had nothing to do with Kobe and Gasol, and they didn't dare to let Li Du go. Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, losing seemed inevitable. up.

In the first half of the third quarter, with the support of the Big Three, the Celtics finally prevented the Lakers from expanding their lead. However, if the 18-point gap is maintained until the fourth quarter, it will be almost impossible to recover.

While the Lakers called a long timeout and the two sides eased their physical strength, Ray Allen gently abducted the other two giants, and said to them: "Have you noticed that Li Du is very energetic today and has a high level of dedication?" We have to find a way to deal with it, otherwise we will lose not only this game, but also the next game!"

Pierce nodded, and sighed: "We have to think of a way. I don't know what happened to the Lakers today. Even Lamar, the guy who often wanders, seems to be desperate for me!"

Garnett looked up at the big screen blankly, then snorted heavily, and said, "Well, let me try on the offensive end! Gasol is very strong, but he is not without weaknesses. If I try hard, I should be able to do it." Deal with him. As long as I open the inside, you will have a chance on the outside. Now that the point difference is so big, if you want to chase back, you must rely on three-pointers!"

Pierce poked his head, pointed to the Lakers and said, "Lei is the most sure of the three-point shot, but today Li Du is in such a state, Ray may be in trouble."

Ray Allen also understood that he had a great responsibility at this time, so he asked Rivers and everyone for their opinions: "Do we want to use the tactic we specially practiced to deal with Li Du in the berserk period before?"

Rivers thought for a while, and finally clapped his hands heavily, and said, "Okay, let's do it! It's just to see how the Lakers will respond. If we lose this game again, we will become more and more passive behind us!"

The Celtics found through the study of the Lakers in the playoffs that Li Du had physical problems since the playoffs, but this did not mean that Li Du had poor physical fitness. On the contrary, they found that it was because Li Du could In a short period of time, his strength, speed, and even the rate of footstep changes have been increased to an incredible level, but the price is that his physical strength will be severely exhausted.

In order to deal with Li Du's violent improvement, the Celtics specially practiced a set of special tactics, which is vividly called "elevator tactics", making use of Ray Allen's super shooting and running ability , Then just before he was about to catch the ball, he brushed against two tall players and ran between them.As soon as Ray Allen passed by, the two players stood side by side, like the doors of an elevator closing.

It only takes 0.4 seconds for Ray Allen to shoot a three-pointer. Among the active players, only he and Li Du can achieve this shooting speed. It only takes a moment for the defender to be blocked before Ray Allen can shoot smoothly.

The reason why two tall and strong people are used for off-ball screens is to help Ray Allen win the 0.4-second shot time when facing a difficult person like Li Du.Even if it is Li Du, if he wants to bypass the two tall players, he cannot do it within 0.4 seconds!
Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Li Du did it and bypassed the screener within 0.4 seconds, he was always blocked. When the defense came up, Ray Allen already had room to shoot!

The only weakness of this tactic is that it requires the whole team to do things for Ray Allen alone. Once Ray Allen's shooting percentage is not high, it will be a waste of offensive opportunities!Originally, the Celtics didn't plan to use this tactic. It was used to deal with Li Du during the berserk period. Now Li Du is almost playing normally, or if he wants to say berserk, he is berserk throughout the game.

But now they are behind by as much as 18 points, no need, I am afraid the next game will be too much!So Ray Allen gently rubbed his wrist, moved his fingers twice, and went on the field with his teammates. They had to make a final fight!
Li Du still followed Ray Allen expressionlessly. Now he was fully focused on the game, and he could accurately grasp the positions, movements, and even breathing of everyone in the audience.

Ray Allen ran continuously, and Li Du followed closely.With excellent footwork and speed, Ray Allen couldn't get rid of Li Du several times when he set up a screen with his teammates.However, Ray Allen was not in a hurry, he knew very well how difficult Li Du was, and the front screens were all single-player screens, in order to make Li Du a little behind Ray Allen and prepare for the final "elevator closing door". "prepare for.

Leading Li Du around for two laps, Ray Allen suddenly accelerated after a single block. Li Du's eyes lit up. He knew that Ray Allen was about to make a move, so he also accelerated his speed and followed Ray Allen. Lun.

"After the next single block, Ray Allen is going to catch and shoot from the three-point line!" Li Du looked at Ray Allen's running position. As a three-point shooter, of course he knew Ray Allen's Plan, also prepared in the heart.

Sure enough, Ray Allen passed by his teammates, out of the three-point line, and the basketball was passed into his hands at the same time.Just when Li Du was about to pursue and defend, he felt that two people suddenly approached him, like two doors, separating him from Ray Allen!
"Double cover!" Li Du immediately understood in his heart. He turned the knob under his feet, used the eight-diagram turning palm, and bypassed a screen player like a gust of wind, and appeared in front of Ray Allen again. He stood up and was about to block it!
"Huh?" Li Du, who was about to jump, frowned and stopped.Because when he turned around and reappeared in front of Ray Allen, he found that Ray Allen had already shot!
"Swipe", the basketball hit the net, and the Celtics finally recovered 3 points.

The Lakers' offense is still started with Kobe and Gasol, and Li Du is the perimeter point.The Celtics can only do their best to deal with the Lakers' offense, and no one is sure that they will be able to defend against it.They were lucky, the Lakers missed two consecutive offenses.

The Celtics used the "elevator tactic". Ray Allen scored two three-pointers, and Pierce made a three-pointer in the air.

The score gap between the two teams suddenly narrowed to 9 points, and the Lakers were beaten 9-0 by the Celtics at the end of the third quarter!

When Li Du's eyes were about to burst into flames, Rivers had already replaced the Big Three.For the Lakers, Zen Master also replaced Kobe and Li Du and other starters one after another to rest.Both Rivers and Zen Master knew in their hearts that no finals could be easily won, and they were all preparing for the fourth quarter.

Unfortunately, they were wrong!
