Chapter 1047 Who is missing and who is important

In the first round of the game between the Celtics and the Clippers, the offensive performance of the two sides was very different.

Due to the absence of Love on the Clippers side, it is difficult to complete a breakthrough and further transfer the ball after the space is compressed. Coupled with the high-pressure defense of the five starting players on the Celtics side, the Clippers are the first. The attack ended with a "three non-stick".

Harden, who threw the air ball, also signaled Bass to open up space as much as possible.

After all, the two didn't have a lot of time to play together before, so there must be some problems in cooperation.

The Celtics' cooperation here is more smooth and smooth, with a higher degree of tacit understanding.

Especially the chemical reaction between Garnett, Ray Allen and Pierce, the "Big Three", is still very good.

After all, the three of them have cooperated for three seasons before, so there must be no problem in tacit understanding.

So the first attack was completed by these three people.

After Garnett and Pierce passed hand-to-hand to cover the pass, Pierce broke through to attract the defensive attention, and then gave Ray Allen, who was emptied from the outside line, and the latter easily hit a long shot from the outside line, giving the Celtics the lead.

"Don't make up the defense ~!!, just follow Lei~!!"

Lan Shengli immediately stood up and shouted at Harden.

"Harden's bad defensive habits still haven't been corrected ~!!, still need to continue to hone ~!!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"The Celtics' style of play centered on the Big Three, this kind of moving offensive tactics and individual high-pressure defense are all things I hope to be reflected in the Clippers~!!, Harden , George and Love are the Big Three of our team~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to think.

Here the Clippers attacked again.

Lan Shengli made two gestures towards Livingston who was dribbling, and Livingston immediately gave the ball to Harden.

It seems that the Clippers are going to run a tactic.

I saw Harden dribbling the ball here, and Livingston came to the low post, holding Rondo and asking for a position.

It turns out that the Clippers are planning to use Livingston's height advantage to single Rondo.

This is a good idea.

Harden quickly passed the ball.

Rondo strutted, stuck to Livingston's waist, ready to cut the ball at any time.

Livingston was also very cautious, dribbling the ball with his butt pouted and hitting with his back.

Although Livingston has a very obvious height advantage, Rondo's foot strength is also very stable. Livingston hit the back twice and didn't get a chance to get close to the basket again.

Here George came to the outside and tried to ask for the ball, but Livingston ignored it.

Seeing that Pierce was going to double-team, Livingston suddenly turned around towards the baseline, and then directly made a "straight-arm jumper" on the spot.

Rondo can only catch up with the super high shot point.

Pierce's double-teaming is meaningless.

"clang~, da~"

However, Livingston's touch didn't seem to be found yet, and the shooting power was a little shorter. After hitting the side edge of the basket, it bounced on the backboard.

O'Neal guarded the basket and received the rebound.

Although this second attack failed to score, at least it hit the basket, at least it seemed to be closer to the hit.

It also shows that Livingston's tactic of singles against Rondo is effective.

While speaking, Rondo dribbled the ball and quickly attacked.

Rondo suddenly started to accelerate and came to the free throw line. While attracting the defense with a back single, he gave the ball to Pierce who had just reached the three-point line.

Rondo is passing the ball and setting up screens.

Rondo directly blocked George behind him.

After Pierce received the ball, he aimed at the basket and made a direct three-pointer without making adjustments.

"Swipe~!!!"

The ball went through the net once again.

This time it was a typical Rondo-led offense.

"What the hell~!!, Rondo can't play so comfortably~!!, the Celtics' idea of ​​grabbing the start is very obvious, but at present, at least they didn't let them go to the inside and they were able to protect the inside , there is still a chance~!!, I don't believe the Celtics can cast us to death~!!"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

Although he is still very calm, he is already six points behind.

Here the Clippers still attacked quickly.

This time the Clippers changed tactics again.

Harden dribbled the ball and started a pick-and-roll with Bass.

Because of his understanding of Bass, after the pick-and-roll, Garnett didn't care about Bass who was pulled beyond the three-point line, but Harden who was about to double-team and dribble.

Harden passed the ball quickly.

Under normal circumstances, the receiver standing outside the three-point line should be Love, and then after receiving the ball, Love will choose the position of the defensive player to choose the next attack method.

If the defensive player is close to him, Love will break through directly. If the defense is two steps away like Garnett is now, Love will directly shoot a three-pointer.

But it's a pity that Bass is holding the ball now, and Bass standing outside the three-point line has no threat at all.

Because Bass, like Livingston, never shoots three-pointers.

So after the ball came to Bass, the Clippers' offense stagnated.

"After all, Bass is just an offensive end point, not a starting point and a supporting point~!!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

Bass saw that the positions of his teammates were not very good, so he directly chose to break through against Garnett.

Based on his understanding of Bass, an old teammate, Garnett directly stood in advance and blocked Bass' breakthrough route.

Bass lowered his head and broke through like a "stunned youth", without even looking at the defender in front of him.

"Boom~"

Soon, Garnett and Bass quickly both fell to the ground.

"Beep~!!"

The referee also blows the whistle very quickly.

And resolutely whistled Bass's dribbling.

The Clippers' third offense came back in vain.

"Switching Bass to the starting lineup seems like a failure~!!, Bass not only failed to open up the space, but also because of the opponent's understanding of him, it is difficult for him to show his own characteristics~!!"

Lan Shengli had gradually frowned and began to think.

After all, it seems very difficult for the Clippers to score a goal in this game.

"Hey~, I really miss Lefu at this time~!!, I really just answered that sentence, who is missing is important~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

Love's role for the Clippers is not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive rebound protection is also very important.

"Clang~!!!"

Here Pierce made another mid-range shot with the help of O'Neill's cover, but failed to hit.

However, because it hit the neck of the basket, it bounced very far.

When Love is around, this kind of long-distance rebound will usually be won by Love who made a prediction in advance, but now the situation is different.
