Chapter 201, Unexplainable Zhou Hang, Conversation with Taylor!(1/2)
Zhou Hang and Gasol celebrated the high-fives, and the two had already developed a complete understanding.
If Gasol has room for the downward movement, Zhou Hang will never hesitate when he can give the ball.
Although Gasol's state is average, this kind of vacancy can still be grasped.
On the field, the Celtics' offense comes again.
Rondo gave the ball to Ray Allen.
Ray Allen had no chance on the outside, so he gave the ball to Garnett on the inside.
Garnett chose to hold the ball and rush to Gasol.
Gasol dared not foul at this time and raised his hands to the greatest extent possible.
Garnett hit the board after fighting Gasol.
49 to 50.
The Celtics have been keeping a close eye on the score and have not allowed the Lakers to expand their score advantage.
Lakers attack.
Zhou Hang was driving forward, and after he arrived at the front court, Zhou Hang organized tactics to support him.
Zhou Hang made a triangular offensive gesture and gave the ball to Gasol.
The core of the triangle offense is to create singles opportunities for superstars.
After observing, Gasol gave the ball to Kobe's low post.
But Kobe faced Pierce, and behind Pierce was Garnett.
Kobe's chance was not good, so he gave the ball to Zhou Hang again.
Tony Allen is defending Zhou Hang.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Zhou Hang is still dribbling under his crotch.
Tony Allen's scalp was numb when he saw Zhou Hang's move.
According to relevant statistics, Zhou Hang has to play such singles with dribbling under his crotch every game 11 times.
This data is much more than Kobe's singles at low positions.
Tony Allen's footsteps often change with Zhou Hang's rhythm. He had many opportunities to face Zhou Hang's move before, but he didn't defend himself.
Tony Allen gritted his teeth and stood beside Zhou Hang to guard against Zhou Hang's retreat, directly encouraging Zhou Hang to go inside to challenge Garnett.
Zhou Hang was also confused by Tony Allen's defense move. He originally wanted to retreat, but now the back road is blocked.
"Haha, Tony Allen sacrificed his life and actually completely let Zhou Hang out of his breakthrough."
"Indeed, this move is too awesome, and Zhou Hang can't take a step back."
"Tony Allen: "Xiao Zhou, your step back is not capable, try to see if you can retreat!"
“Creative defense.”
"Zhou Hang's butt is very strong!"
"If I were Zhou Hang, I would definitely be chilly."
Fans laughed when they saw Tony Allen's defensive style.
Zhang Weiping was also happy: "Tony Allen is really willing to go out. Zhou Hang really can't use the step back. Let's see how Zhou Hang will choose the offensive method."
On the court, facing the unprepared front, Zhou Hang did not hesitate much and dribbled forward directly.
This is not a breakthrough, and Zhou Hang just transported it to the free throw line without any direct interference.
Garnett's assisted defense, Zhou Hang threw the ball high to the right side of the basket, Gasol fell from the sky and pointed the ball into the basket with one hand.
Garnett can't defend against the Lakers' inside line when he comes out to assist in defense. Gasol is also an All-Star power forward, and this kind of opportunity is very easy for him.
49 to 52
Zhou Hang continued to celebrate with Gasol by high-fives.
Xu Jicheng said: "Zhou Hang cracked this move easily. The Celtics need to think of some other ways to defend him."
Zhang Weiping said: "The emergence of this defensive method also shows to a certain extent the Celtics' helplessness against Zhou Hang. It is too easy for Zhou Hang to crack this move. He can stop in the middle distance in a hurry. It depends on whether you Garnett comes up. If you Garnett comes up, I will pass the ball to the inside! Gasol is not a vegetarian."
indeed.
Zhou Hang's three-pointer backed made the Celtic feel afraid.
They would rather give up the two-pointer attack defending Zhou Hang than want Zhou Hang to take a three-pointer.
Celtic attack.
Rondo dribbles to the frontcourt.
Rondo gave the ball to Pierce on the right.
Pierce made a tentative step outside the three-point line.
Kobe's shots were a little relaxed when defending his shots, and Pierce pulled out his hand on the spot.
Pierce's offensive method is very versatile, and three-pointers are also one of his best scoring methods.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Swish!"
52 to 52.
The Lakers' efforts to pull the score apart were not successful, and the Celtics were particularly tenacious tonight.
The Lakers' offense continues to come again.
After Zhou Hang brought it to the front court, he raised his hand and signaled to pull it away.
The Celtics are too familiar with the Lakers' triangular offense, and Zhou Hang doesn't think the triangular offense will be more efficient than his singles offense.
Tony Allen did not use the defensive method just now this round. As it turns out, these defensive strategies were not thought of, but they were just unreasonable, so that the loss would be faster.
If one-on-one, Zhou Hang will be stressed out.
After three consecutive dribbling balls under the crotch combined with directional adjustment, Zhou Hang took a step back and forcibly opened the space between the two.
Tony Allen's defense judgment was correct, but helpless, his defense was too passive, and his height and heels could not keep up.
Zhou Hang successfully retreated and made a three-pointer again!
"Swish!"
52 to 55.
After the Celtics made a three-pointer, Zhou Hang immediately responded to the attack.
Zhou Hang's response made the Staples Stadium's momentum rise again.
Los Angeles fans kept screaming and cheering.
"Zhou Hang's response is horizontal."
"Invincible double-square retreat."
"Forcibly pulling open one-to-one space and then maintaining a soft feel, it's really invincible."
"Tony Allen's defense is doing very well, but he just can't limit Zhou Hang."
"The Celtics need to pay attention to Zhou Hang's offensive explosiveness. In terms of the previous playoffs, Zhou Hang showed a greater threat than Kobe."
"It's hard to say that Zhou Hang is more comprehensive than Kobe. Many of his offenses are framed, but his score is really funny."
Both sides were slightly restrained in the offensive firepower on the field in the next few rounds.
Both teams made a slam for two minutes and their attacks were a little impatient.
The two ESPN commentators started chatting at this time.
Van Gundy asked, "Mike, what do you think you need to do if you are single-defense week?"
After thinking about it, McBrien said: "It is difficult to limit if you defend alone. Zhou has too many offensive methods. He can shoot three-pointers, and can make emergency stops, mid-range or throws, and dunks after breaking left and right.
Many superstars cannot limit one-on-one, and they need to make choices when choosing single defense.
In McBrien's cognition, Zhou Hang also reached the superstar level.
Van Gundy said: "Then do you think Boston will achieve the best results in defense week?"
McBrien said: "The best way is to force Zhou Hang to pass the ball and don't let him finish it."
"There will be a lot of gaps in other places," Van Gundy said.
"These can be compensated as much as possible by speeding up the defensive pace, which will be a huge challenge for the physical fitness of the players on the field, but the Celtics have many players who can play, and as long as they rotate, it should not be a problem."
In the past two minutes on the court, the Celtics used McBrien's defensive approach.
Zhou Hang was frantically attacking Zhou Hang, forcing him to pass the ball. Then as soon as Zhou Hang passed the ball, their players returned to their defensive position frantically to reduce the defensive loss caused by the pinch.
As it turns out, this defense is pretty good.
