The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 134 Please enter the urn
After a brief timeout, players from both sides entered the field again, and the decisive moment came.

For the Grizzlies, Randolph, Marc Gasol, and Rudy Gay all played out, and the Celtics also played the starting five. Gerald Wallace, who was active in the first half, played again.

The Celtics attacked first, Rondo and Green lined up, Gerald Wallace sank to the basket, and Bradley and Bass scrambled back and forth around the baseline, looking for opportunities to catch the ball.

Li Ming stretched out his right foot, turned sideways, and blocked Rondo's right side, trying to force him to go to the left, because his teammate Marc Gasol was sitting on the left.

After a short dribble, Rondo jumped up and passed the ball directly into the hands of Wallace on the inside. Wallace still had strength. Facing Randolph's defense, he directly chose to go hard. After two squeezes Shot, still not in.

The Celtics' offense has stagnated, and they still haven't scored points until now. Four and a half minutes have passed, and the rebound was accepted by Randolph and given to Rudy Gay who was closest to him.

After getting enough rest, Guy rushed out like a spirit snake.

"Stop him quickly." Rivers on the sidelines yelled at Jeff Green.

Green put his head down and sped up the chase, finally wrapping himself around Gay before he got to the basket.

"You have no chance to make a shot." Green began to interfere with the opponent with words.

Guy didn't answer, just glanced at him, stepped back two steps sideways, and then accelerated again.

Green leaned on Guy's body, and suddenly chose to retreat the moment he was about to make a shot. Guy was unprepared for this move, suddenly lost his center of gravity, and was suddenly blown away by the referee.

Green's high EQ defense drew applause from the audience. Half of the applause was dedicated to his dedication in every round tonight, and more was a reward for his dedication.

Videos and photos of his surgery were also played on the big screen at the right time. His long scar surrounding his chest made people feel lingering fear. What a resolute character he is, and he returned to the game after only resting for less than half a year.

Green withdrew his emotions and immediately threw himself into the offense, covering for his teammates.He pushed Rudy Gay hard, clearing the way for Rondo's breakthrough.

Rondo tried another open three-pointer from the three-point line, but he was still determined. This buddy's hands are really bad, too hard, and he has no nerve to shoot at all.

Rivers on the sidelines slapped his forehead, there is no way, using this buddy is the one he organized, so let's bear it if you can bear it.After all, there must be players like Rondo on the court at this time to control the court.

Among the Big Three before, his shortcoming of not being able to shoot could be covered by Pierce and Ray Allen. Now that he lacks the restraint of a strong point, his shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.

Once it is in the playoffs, it is easy to be targeted. Yes, in the playoff series, as long as your lineup has even the slightest flaw, you will be targeted infinitely by your opponents until you doubt your life.

The direct consequence of the missed goal was for Gay to complete a counter-attack layup.

One back and forth is four points.

Bass asked for the ball inside, but his size was somewhat different from that of Xiaojia. After two pushes to no avail, he passed the ball. Bradley completed a rebound shot under the defense of Bayless. Finally got it.

94:89.

The Celtics finally scored in the 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, and the team was still five points behind.

This shot was a strategic give-up by the Grizzlies. Instead of allowing the insiders to easily score points inside, it is better to let them choose a more difficult shooting method. Anyway, the Grizzlies are not afraid of going back and forth. Their own offense will be the best tonight. Very advantageous.

Durin, Bayless and others on the outside have brought a great test to the Celtics' defense.

"Don't let him catch the ball in that position," Rondo yelled at Bradley, wanting him to step up to cover Bayless in case he made a surprise attack on the outside.

However, Bradley didn't listen to him. He felt that the Grizzlies were leading at this time, and time was in his favor. He would definitely not choose such an aggressive style of play. After all, there were two inside behemoths standing in the field, so there was no reason not to go. Play to your advantage.

In fact, Rondo's scruples were right. After glancing at his teammates on the field, Bayless did not hoist the ball to the two big men inside, but raised his hand and shot two steps outside the three-point line. His third three-pointer in the game.

The trajectory of this shot is very positive, and the arc is also very beautiful. This feels like training, and it is difficult not to think about it.

97 to 89.There is half a quarter left in the game.

With the arrest of this three-pointer, the atmosphere on the scene began to drop to freezing point.

"What's the matter with you, I said to guard against his three-pointer, why don't you go up?" Rondo ran towards Bradley angrily.

Bradley did not show weakness either, meaning that it was too difficult for Wallace on the inside to defend Zach Randolph alone. There was nothing wrong with his choice to help defend the inside. The teammates immediately separated the two.

Rivers took advantage of the situation and called a timeout to ease the tension on the court.

"Don't quarrel. There's nothing right or wrong. You have to listen to Rajon. After all, his judgment is the correct judgment on the situation on the field. Why do you think the other party can't shoot three-pointers? Who stipulated that Zach must go up Do you want every ball to pass through his hands?" Rivers' soul three questions immediately made Bradley speechless.

"My teammates are a little tired now. It's okay. We have a chance to play well in the next round. There is still a lot of time, and it will be nearly half a quarter." Take more.

Looking at the Grizzlies' bench, "The ball you just made was too risky. Now time is in our favor. Why don't you choose to hang the ball to Zach?" Okay!A three-pointer made the coaches on both sides dissatisfied.

Bayless didn't speak, just sat and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was obvious that his physical strength was exhausted, and he played for a long time tonight.

Due to Conley's injury, the pressure on his and Li Ming's shoulders increased suddenly, and the fatigue of his limbs also began to multiply, and he began to show signs of exhaustion.

Seeing this, Coach Hollins waved his hand, Kenyon Dooling played again, and Bayless took a rest off the court.

So this timeout is very funny. Bayless who scored the goal was replaced, but Bradley who was about to conflict remained on the court, and Rondo chose him for the first pass! !
This operation - coquettish! !The coaches on both sides are not ordinary people.
