Chapter 197 Arsenal!
The Knicks scored 30 points in half a quarter. It was about to reach 50 in a single quarter. Coach Rivers quickly made adjustments, and fortunately he did make enough preparations before the game.
Rivers intends to use the ultimate defensive move - attack Zhou Mubai at high positions!
It was not waiting for Zhou Mubai to attack him while pick-and-roll, but two people went up to attack Zhou Mubai!
D'Antoni thought to himself: "Here you come!"
At this moment, he developed a feeling of admiration for Zhou Mubai.
This is quite strange. This emotion is usually caused by the low-level people against the high-level people, but D'Antoni irresistible at this time.
He clearly remembered what Zhou Mubai said - when we beat the Celtics with pick-and-roll tactics at a loss, with Rivers' personality, he would definitely use a trick to attack my defense regardless of everything, so by that time...
On the court, Zhou Mubai passed the ball directly and then started running wildly.
Rondo and Pierce, who came out to attack, suddenly hesitated. Are they going to chase Zhou Mubai?
Of course not. The Celtics' purpose is to force Zhou Mubai to pass the ball. After Zhou Mubai passes the ball, he has to go back and make up for defense immediately.
But the Knicks would not let the Celtics return to defense so easily. After Kevin Martin received the ball, he waited for Ray Allen to run to defend, and then passed the ball to Chandler who was in charge of the position. Chandler's catch forced the Celtics to shrink, and then Chandler passed it to Jamison, who was absent-cutting Jamison, who pretended to break through, and then passed the ball to... Zhou Mubai, who got rid of Rondo!
Zhou Mubai got rid of it with the help of Gallinari's cover near the three-point line. The moment he received the ball, he was directly an open position. Zhou Mubai pulled up and shot!
Three points hit again.
Coach Rivers felt nervous - is this an accident or a Knicks' countermeasure?
When the Knicks found Zhou Mubai in the same way in the next round, Rivers understood in his heart that the Knicks had planned it.
But what he didn't understand was when D'Antoni was so powerful that he actually prepared such a tactic to deal with Zhou Mubai being attacked... Yes, since the Knicks had Zhou Mubai as the only core, they would naturally think of the situation once Zhou Mubai was attacked.
When Zhou Mubai scored this way for the third time, Rivers immediately stopped this defense.
Then...and Rivers didn't have any tricks, oh, no, he had, he gave out chicken soup!
"Rajoon, you are the best. Believe in yourself and shoot boldly. When you score a goal, Zhou Mubai must go up to defend you and you can pass the ball!"
"Kevin, hurry up a little faster and stick to it. We have come to this day. There is no reason to retreat, and we have no room for retreat. You are the leader and you have to take on your responsibilities!"
"Paul, you've already scored 12 points and you can get more points. This is your home court tonight!"
"Kendrick...rebounds, rebounds, or rebounds!"
"Lei, you are the best shooter I have ever seen. Once you have the chance, you will make a shot. You will make a bold shot and shoot our sky!"
...
Rivers roared in a hoarse voice.
The Celtics players are indeed working very hard, they keep running.
This did bring a lot of pressure and trouble to the Knicks, but it did not push the Knicks into a desperate situation. The Knicks were still scoring. Although the Celtics were also scoring while trying hard, the huge advantage established in the first quarter helped the Knicks maintain the lead.
Zhou Mubai was not in a hurry. He knew very well that the Celtics were betting on when his physical strength would be exhausted, and he was waiting for the Celtics to be exhausted first.
Ray Allen, Pierce, and Garnett are all 35 people. How long can they run?
As for yourself...hehe, if you don't say humbly, he will still be able to jump around if the horses run to death.
Do you think you are angry?
Zhou Mubai just hung the Celtics like this. He suppressed Rondo and then controlled the attack. When the Celtics scored a goal, he planned to score one again. The rhythm gradually slowed down, keeping the shooting percentage at a very high position, and then... just wait for the game to end.
Zhou Mubai was like a butcher holding a knife, bleeding at a bound cow. When the wound gradually healed, he stabbed him again, allowing the blood to continue to flow.
Although the cow is strong, it can't stand the bleeding like this.
Celtic fans looked at Zhou Mubai's calm face and felt cold in their hearts. What kind of rookie is this?
He was like a ruthless and cold killer, quietly watching his opponent gradually move towards death without being moved.
Zhou Mubai firmly controls the situation on the court, and both his opponents and teammates are under his control.
D'Antoni felt palpitations. He was the beneficiary of Zhou Mubai's rise, but when he saw the dismal face of coach Rivers opposite, he felt a little unbearable.
He tried to put himself in Rivers' position, and he felt despair, the despair that was about to swallow people like an abyss.
Zhou Mubai's data is constantly rising. By the end of the half, his data has reached 24 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks!
He controls the game almost on both sides of the offense and defense.
He is everywhere.
Yes, in the eyes of Celtic fans, Zhou Mubai is everywhere!
He didn't know about the tired breakthrough, running, assisting defense, grabbing rebounds, blocking...
I don't know how many roles I played in this half.
Inside, Peripheral, Shooter, Blue Collar, 3D;
He also does a lot of work, such as empty cuts, breakthroughs, long shots, covers, and running without the ball...
He is really strong!
This idea appears in the minds of all Celtics.
Celtic fans have seen all kinds of scenes. They have seen Chamberlain raging, George McCann's reign, they have seen Magic Johnson, and they have seen Michael Jordan's era. The Celtics have not really fallen for a long time. They are such a strong family, and heroes have passed by like a change of horses, but the Celtics are still so powerful.
But they have never seen such a fearful opponent that makes people feel unparalleled from the New Year.
Is this Celtic team strong now?
To be honest, the dominance may be inferior to the Celtics in the past, but in this era, this Celtics are very strong, especially in defense!
This may be one of the best teams in the past decade, but in the face of the Knicks with Zhou Mubai as the core, the Celtics have many loopholes in defense, while the Knicks are still the Knicks with smooth and unstoppable offense!
And all this is because of Zhou Mubai.
