After the start of the second quarter, Wang Xiao immediately felt the change of defensive strategy on the Celtics side.
Marking for George has increased a lot.
But still that sentence, there are only 10 people on the court, and 5 on each side. Even the most powerful and perfect tactics can only be executed by these 5 people. The number of people will inevitably lead to loopholes in the tactics.
George's mid-range threat allowed the Celtics to take precautions. Correspondingly, other lines of defense must be relaxed.
Wang Xiao took the opportunity to make a decisive move and immediately asked George to change his position from the horns area to a step within the three-point line of the bottom corner.
After the space was pulled further, the Celtics' defense line immediately had problems. Whether it was Harden or Curry, the pressure on the offense was much reduced.
The Celtics defense was established by the Bulls coach Thibodeau while he was an assistant coach. The main feature of the defensive tactics is the joint defense between players and players, or a small area. Regional defense.
Garnett's maneuverability can make up for the NBA defense's three seconds of trouble caused by the joint defense. Together with the coordinated defense of Pierce and Ray Allen and others, this green army's iron-blooded defense is created.
But now, George's excellent performance in the first quarter made Pierce have to concentrate on coping with it. As a result, the Celtics team defense was forced to turn into a man-to-man single defense.
In this case, both Curry and Harden have too many opportunities to play.
Using Jordan's pick-and-roll cooperation, Harden rushed into the inside continuously. In the case of man-to-man, no matter how quickly the Celtics responded on this side, it was too late to stop Harden.
"Squeak--"
The referee's whistle sounded, and Rivers' face was a little unsightly.
On the field, Garnett had already received a second foul, and it was in just 2 minutes.
Although Harden's strength is far from reaching the peak of the future, the ability to make fouls is already a bit of a means of perfection. Rao is an experienced player like Garnett, and he is not careful.
After being blown for two fouls, Garnett was a little uncomfortable. He walked over and wanted to talk to the referee about the theory, but was pulled back by his teammates.
The current league has begun to implement a zero-tolerance system, which is particularly strict in resisting fierce playoffs. As long as Garnett's words are slightly more fierce, he will inevitably be whistled. If a technical foul is blown, it will be even worse.
The Wizards seized the opportunity to pursue the victory, and further expanded the score in the second quarter.
48:39, the score gap came to 9 points, and as the Celtics defense was torn by George’s midrange shot a little bit, the Wizards’ offensive firepower also began to pick up, with 48 points in the first half, and then It should not be difficult to score 100 points in the second half of the game.
George didn't get many opportunities in the second quarter, but even so, he still hit 1 3-pointer and 1 midrange shot, and the score has risen to 19 points.
In the third quarter of the game, the Celtics still had no chance, because the Wizards' third quarter game is recognized as the strongest in the league.
The reason is simple. The Wizards' bench lineup is the best in the entire league.
When the stars of the two teams consumed too much in the first two quarters and wanted to regain their physical strength through the intermission and the third quarter, the bench on the Wizards' side only reached its strength.
Harden and Butler did not play much time in the first two quarters of the game to launch a fierce attack on the Celtics defense in the third quarter.
auzw.com Within a few minutes, the 9-point difference has been expanded to 15 points.
The Wizards' offensive frenzy made the Celtics side Rivers have to call two timeouts, and then daringly put Garnett, Pierce and others on the court.
Rivers knew that this was not a good sign, but the situation did not allow him to decide.
The Celtics' backup lineup is actually quite good. Jeff Green and Glen Davis are standard bench gangsters. However, when facing the Wizards, it is really not enough to look at.
The Wizards are not even Harden and Butler. With the help of Beverly, McGee, Whiteside, several people can compete with the Celtics bench lineup. When Harden and Butler are both When a properly qualified player on the team is on the court, the gap is quite large.
Rivers also started to try to let young Rondo and the play style are not particularly energy-intensive Ray Allen, to withstand this difficult time.
However, the combination of Rondo + Ray Allen is completely unmatched by the combination of Harden + Butler. It is not that there is a huge gap in the strength of the combination of the two teams.
It's because the Wizards have a crazy dog ​​on the point guard.
At this time in another time and space, Beverly was still playing in Russia, still unknown.
But in this time and space, Beverly, who was selected and trained by Wang Xiao, has become an excellent role player in the eyes of many scouts.
As a substitute for Curry, Beverly averaged only about 18 minutes of playing time this season, and in these 18 minutes, most of the time players are still in Harden's hands, resulting in Beverly's average of only 6.7. Points 2 rebounds and 1.4 assists.
But this does not obscure the fact that Beverly's defensive ability is outstanding.
The tenacious and tough style of play, excellent defensive consciousness and top-notch physical qualities have caused Beverly to trouble many point guards in the regular season.
In this game, Beverly's eyes on the bench immediately focused on Rondo.
Although Rondo has grown into the top point guard in the league, as a point guard, his short board is too obvious, and that is the poor shooting ability.
Using this, Beverly can easily lock Rondo, so that he can only use the overall view and pass to teammates.
But under the entanglement of Beverly's mad dog, Rondo's attack was not particularly smooth.
With Rondo entangled by Beverly, Ray Allen faced Harden and Butler's offensive offensive, naturally not an opponent.
...
On the Celtics side, Pierce and Garnett played early, but on the Wizards side, Wang Xiao did not change the main force for the first time, but pressed to continue to let the bench lineup play on the field.
Pierce and Garnett's appearance immediately reversed the Celtics disadvantage, especially Pierce. He clearly felt that when facing Butler, the pressure was much less than facing George. After all, the former is not Known as a defensive player, George has started to become a defensive player under the training of Wang Xiao.
Faced with Butler's defense, Pierce scored consecutively, plus Garnett used his experience and skills on the inside several times to single out McGee and Whiteside, and finally managed to chase the score gap back to only 5 points.
At this time, there was little time left in the third quarter.
At this time, Wang Xiao didn't panic and changed into the main force here.
With the appearance of Curry, George, Jamison and other players, the rest time is not enough, and Pierce has been playing for four or five minutes on the court, and Garnett and others are a little unable to parry.
