Chapter 130 Breathtaking!
Celtics home locker room.
Coach Rivers looked at the panting disciples worriedly.
It was an unprecedented game, the first time the Celtics have seen such a weird game.
Since the establishment of the NBA, it has had super fast-paced stages and slow-paced defense stages, but I have never seen such a crazy three-pointer game.
Garnett and others were panting because they had to cross a longer defensive distance than usual game. A longer distance not only meant that they needed more running, but also needed faster running, otherwise running would be meaningless.
Fans who have played the ball know that chasing over and defending can easily be shaken over and breaking through. In order to catch up, you must do your best, and the people behind you must concentrate on running over to help with defense.
So at the beginning, the Knicks started with Zhou Mubai alone, but once the ball was passed, the others could also break through and constantly tear the Celtics' defense.
Garnett and Pierce are in good condition, but they are getting older, and their speed and physical strength are naturally decreasing. It is natural to be out of breath at halftime.
Rivers is worried that it is not just this game, but also that there are more long-term considerations.
The Knicks have emerged in a sudden force, and it is inevitable that they will enter the playoffs. With Zhou Mubai here, the playoff team is the lowest bottom line.
Judging from today's game situation, if the Celtics meet the Knicks in the playoffs, it will cause great trouble for the Celtics.
There should be no doubt about eliminating the Knicks, but if you encounter the Knicks in the first or second round, it consumes too much physical strength, then what will the Celtics use to deal with the subsequent games?
To put it bluntly, Rivers is not worried about losing, but is afraid of winning difficulties.
This is the disadvantage of the elderly team.
Senior teams have an advantage in experience, but the disadvantage is that they do not have enough energy to consume.
For example, tonight, after the first half, the Celtics will have to face this problem in the second half.
At the beginning of the second half, Coach Rivers changed into a rotation lineup, which is actually quite rare. Generally speaking, the starter was played at the beginning of the third quarter, but Rivers changed the order of playing, with the purpose of giving veterans some time to rest.
But this caused trouble to Coach D'Antoni: "Did Rivers want to use the dog to my dog and then use the dog to my dog later?"
The so-called upper and lower dogs are European and American sayings are roughly equivalent to the Chinese Sun Bin’s horse racing.
The Celtics' rotational offense was not as strong as the starting lineup, and was cut by Zhou Mubai. The Knicks led by 8 points in half a quarter. Rivers quickly changed the starting lineup back to stabilize the situation.
After the third quarter, the Knicks temporarily led by 6 points.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Rivers placed Garnett off the court, and the other starters were there, playing the game to let Garnett come back in the second half of the quarter to play the final battle.
But Davis' movement and backup defense were not as good as Garnett. Zhou Mubai rushed in and committed fouls. He made accurate free throws and shots without any effort. After a few rounds, the Knicks widened the score difference to ten.
Rivers could only exchange Garnett back in advance, and Zhou Mubai immediately changed his playing style, and was mainly based on three-pointers from the outside to mobilize the Celtics' defense.
By the last three minutes of the game, the Celtics players' physical strength was obviously exhausted and their pace could no longer keep up, especially when defending Zhou Mubai.
Rondo tried his best to defend Zhou Mubai. He paid attention to the fact that although he was tired, Zhou Mubai would also be tired. But what made him collapsed was that as he himself was slower and slower, Zhou Mubai became faster and faster. Of course, this was an illusion caused by comparison.
But what puzzled him was that he had been resting for a lot of time, but Zhou Mubai was on the court, constantly breaking through, running, and having to withstand a lot of confrontations. How could his physical strength be so abundant?
The more you enter the final stage, the more calm Zhou Mubai plays. Although the defense is very active, due to the exhaustion of physical strength, the players' defensive choices will become aggressive and lack calm.
This is the best time to attack, because others have exhausted their physical strength, but Zhou Mubai's physical strength is still abundant, and his mind will become more and more calm. At this time, whether it is a foul or a false move, it will be accurate to play one shot.
In the last three minutes, Zhou Mubai became a scoring machine, making a foul free throw, breaking through the middle distance, breaking into the basket and making a layup, breaking through and passing the ball... In the last three minutes, Zhou Mubai scored 12 points!
The Celtic fever is over.
The final score is 131:124!
Both sides got very high scores, which is a very strange game for the Celtics. Since the season, the Celtics' scene score has been 99.2 points, suppressing their opponents at an average of about 95.6 points per game, and few of them have exceeded 100 points. But today the Celtics not only scored more than 120 points by themselves, but also scored 131 points by the Knicks!
The Celtics scored 5 players in double digits, especially Garnett scored 31 points and 16 rebounds, which is rare for Garnett now. The main reason is that the Knicks' inside line is too weak, making the elderly Garnett become the middle-aged Garnett.
Zhou Mubai only scored 14 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the first half. Before the third and fourth quarters, most of them created opportunities in the organization until the explosion broke out in the last three minutes and scored 12 points, but in the end, Zhou Mubai's data was still very amazing: 42 points, 19 assists, 13 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks!
Another big triple-double!
It's amazing.
This is not other teams, but the Boston Celtics, one of the most powerful teams on defense in recent seasons!
Zhou Mubai not only led the team to score 130, but also contributed a large triple-double that almost filled the data bar, which was simply a fucking game on the Celtics' face.
For a moment, the black guys' voices were hoarse.
Why did they make them weird?
The reason why a team like the Nets can be bad is that the opponent is too bad. It can be said that Zhou Mubai is eating and sleeping to beat Paul, but the Hornets are not strong. It can be said that the Magic is because of the renewal of this season. It is not completed, but the Celtics... How to defeat the Magic?
In fact, there is no way. Some black men are completely shameless and directly promote that the Celtics are old!
Such remarks came out and were immediately taken over by the Boston media.
The Boston media would not be polite to these dark guys. They cursed and suddenly became in chaos. The Knicks were left out.
Although there was no influence of the blacksword, the plane to Los Angeles was particularly strange. Garlinari and the others dared not speak, but they always secretly glanced at Zhou Mubai who was reading with the light on.
Chapter completed!
