start with scouting

Chapter 203
The game was going on hotly, and Rondo ran to the top of the arc, uncharacteristically looking for Perkins to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

The initiation speed was very fast, Chandler hurriedly switched defenses and was delayed, and Perkins took the opportunity to dismantle the inside cut, and caught Rondo's high throw pass in a hurry, took advantage of the situation and clapped his hands vigorously to find the rhythm, and jumped up a little stiffly. to the basket.

Compared with the quick start of the tactics, the end of the tactics has become too slow, and Perkins has not yet used the high lift.

Chandler calmly returned to the defense to complete the interference, the basketball slammed like iron, Westbrook ran and jumped to grab a rebound, and the Thunder launched a counterattack.

Harden received the ball from the center line and rushed two steps, successfully attracting the Celtics' defensive attention, and then passed the ball back to the top of the arc.

Westbrook strode into the paint with the ball, kicked off the ground like a spring, and aimed at the basket to score a dunk.

Van Gundy sighed: "It can be seen that Boston intends to make changes on the offensive end, but they don't have too many options, so that they have the idea of ​​​​using Perkins to attack. After this round of the series, they may have their own. Suspect…"

Breen also sighed: "Boston is trying its best to limit the screen with the ball, but the Thunder's screen with the ball attack rate is very low..."

Yi Biankai team counterattacked, Rondo seemed afraid to continue to take risks, and instead looked for Garnett to do the pick-and-roll as usual.

The Thunder will follow Su Yang's pre-match arrangement, strictly prevent breakthroughs + block the paint area, and induce the Celtics to end their jump shots.

Perhaps it was because the game was too tense, Garnett's shot strength was too small, and his shots were untouchable, which made the audience dumbfounded.

Westbrook immediately took the rebound and quickly went off, and Harden played a pair of Ray Allen in the frontcourt, pretending to pass the ball but actually attacking the basket and scoring.

The Thunder's lead suddenly became 5 points, and Ray Allen made two consecutive three-pointers, and the momentum of the Celtics plummeted.

Who would have thought that Perkins grabbed the offensive rebound for the second time in a single round, and even sat on Harden strongly, causing a foul.

Taking advantage of the free throw, Rivers replaced Garnett with Glenn Davis, on time as if triggering a programmed order.

Su Yang was dumbfounded on the spot. Given the situation faced by the Celtics, even if Garnett stayed on the court to cover casually, or shouted a few words to remind his teammates to keep the main force, it would be much better than resting after the end of the game, not to mention Garnett. How tired.

Without Garnett on the court to play the leading role, the Celtics estimate that both offense and defense will fall into a state of collapse.

In the blink of an eye, Perkins hit all two free throws, and the North Shore Garden Arena burst into applause.

Su Yang glanced at the defensive position of the Celtics, and reminded them that they can attack early, and the Thunder will have a chance in seven seconds.

Durant confidently grabbed the shot and easily offset the influence of the Celtics' two offensive rebounds + two free throws in the last round.

The two teams switched offense and defense. The Celtics did not have Garnett on the inside, and the quality of the cover dropped sharply. Ray Allen seemed to have no chance to run out of the circle twice, and Pierce did not seem to have the courage to single-handedly. The ball goes to Perkins.

There were only two seconds left when Perkins shot, it was too hasty, he took the ball and threw it to the basket instinctively.

Ibaka hit a big cap, Westbrook grabbed the rebound and went down quickly, and the Thunder easily scored two points.

Perhaps because the Celtics were too difficult, the referee turned around and whistled Ibaka to stop the foul. The standard was as strict as ten pounds of fat without a trace of lean meat. Ibaka was so angry that he rushed to the referee to argue. Fortunately, Chandler hastily reached out and grabbed it.

Su Yang took advantage of the opportunity to replace Ibaka with Green, but he did not expect Rivers to replace Ray Allen with Tony Allen at the same time.

With that kind of operation, the Celtics' offensive firepower dropped again, almost sending the Thunder to expand their lead for nothing, which is really confusing.

Su Yang suddenly recalled that some people said that Antetokounmpo's data is so good, most of it is obtained by playing against the substitute lineup.

Could it be that the Celtics would do the same, adopt Tian Ji's horse racing routine, and launch a sneak attack in the second quarter as a substitute?

After thinking for a moment, Su Yang decided to take a step forward.

After a few minutes, the Thunder ended the first quarter 32-23, and the situation was good.

The second quarter kicked off quickly. As Su Yang expected, the Celtics sent Garnett and Ray Allen, who came off the field early in the first quarter, to force a 14-4 attack with three starters and two main substitutes. , a strong overtake.

The atmosphere in the North Shore Garden was so intense that Durant and Westbrook applied for an early appearance, and both emphasized that there was no need to rest.

Su Yang waved his hand to signal not to panic, and calmly waited until the normal rotation time before arranging for the two to reappear in battle.

After several rounds, the Thunder completely stabilized the situation and ended the first half with a score of 57-61.

Returning to the locker room during the halftime break, Su Yang told the Thunder generals: "They have no other way, they can only score secretly by changing the order of the main lineup. They are unwilling to confront directly, and they are already at a disadvantage psychologically..."

In a few simple words, there is only one core point: just play according to the normal rhythm, and there is nothing to fear from small tricks.

It can be said that Durant and the others are still quite excited, and they can't keep calm at all. After all, the championship is close at hand.

Seeing this, Su Yang immediately decided to adjust his style of play, let the whole team run complex tactics first, and pursue the success rate.

The third quarter was followed by the start of the game. The Thunder started with the horns. Durant ran to Iverson for a crosscut first. Take advantage of the cover to attack the basket and succeed.

After a few rounds, the Thunder successfully overtook the score.

The Celtics hastened to increase their defensive strength, the frequency of the whistle sounded gradually increased, and all kinds of major fouls were committed.

The referee took care of the Celtics. They should have called [-] fouls, but only called [-] fouls. The Thunder's offensive pressure was extremely high.

Just like that, the Celtics forcibly limited the Thunder's offense, but their own offense stretched and did not form a lead.

The two teams entered the fourth quarter with a tie of 83. Su Yang and Rivers tacitly let the bench lineup face off first.

The referee was more conscientious to unify the whistle-blowing standards, and the beep whistle sounded one after another, and the offense of both teams was fragmented.

The audience was so nervous that they rarely cheered, and the players were too tired under the high-pressure atmosphere, and they were still unable to widen the gap.

After the main players of the two teams returned to the game, the situation did not change, and the game time passed quickly visible to the naked eye.

随着雷阿伦打成2+1，凯队以105比104反超雷霆，时间还剩1分36秒。

According to the plan, Thunder assistant coach Brian raised his hand to ask for a timeout, and the referee blew his whistle to stop the game.

Su Yang stood up holding the tactical board he had already drawn. The strong ninja was excited and walked slowly into the arena.

In the ESPN commentary seat, Brin compared the data table and read: "This season, the Thunder faced the situation where the final 2 minutes of the game were decided. They won [-] of the [-] times. Su Yang's key tactics never let the players make mistakes. Hit the ball."

Van Gundy said with a smile: "I suddenly recalled that Coach Phil Jackson once said that Coach Doc Rivers' team often messed up their lead in the fourth quarter. I don't know if it will happen again this time..."
