Chapter 239 [Refuse to be unpopular]
China CCTV5 broadcasts the game live.
All three Chinese players made it to the playoffs. Today is Saturday, with two consecutive games broadcasts, and Chinese fans are very happy.
In a game that was first played in the West, the Rockets, where Yao Ming is located, almost staged a good show of defeating the strong with weak, and it was not until the last moment that the Lakers narrowly won with one point.
In the "Yao Shark Battle" that was hyped, Yao Ming played for 37 minutes, scoring 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.
O'Neal played for 45 minutes, scored 20 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, gaining the upper hand in this game.
However, for O'Neal, who has participated in 136 playoff games and averaged 281 points per game, Yao Ming's restraint has obviously greatly restricted his performance.
The Rockets do not need to double-team O'Neal, and they can strictly guard against the Lakers' periphery, so both sides scored very low in this game. The Rockets led 71-70 by the end of the game.
Afterwards, Kobe made a three-pointer shot under defense and made a three-no-pointer.
Waiting at the basket, O'Neal used his huge body of 300 pounds to arch Yao Ming, grabbed the rebound and dunk, and also caused Yao Ming to make a sixth defensive foul and was sent off.
This became the turning point of the whole game.
The Rockets made the last attack with 17 seconds, and Jim Jackson missed the final shot. The Lakers narrowly won 72-71.
Van Gundy made Jackson, who made 5 of 19 shots in the game and 1 of 7 three-pointers, made a final shot, which was a bit incomprehensible. So much so that the Nets' game was about to begin, and the two commentators were still regretting the final shot just now.
If the Rockets beat the Lakers in the first away game, the game will be good in the future.
Nets: Kidd, Wang Jun, Jefferson, Martin Collins.
Celtics: Atkins Yerevirshkopiers Walter McAti Mark Blunt.
Blunt, 213cm, won the jump ball and the game began.
Wang Jun defends the bottom line, stands more reliant on the outside, and the nets teams defend together.
In the second half of the net team, the team used joint defense, and Wang Jun's rebounds reached a considerable 66. He liked this method, which was simple and labor-saving.
A pick-and-roll, the Celtics tried out the Nets' tactics, and Pierce went to the right to ask for the ball and fought Kidd one-on-one.
Kid held it close to his body, Pierce turned around after shaking his body, and Kid turned around, not blocking it, not close to it, keeping a distance of one step. If the opponent brings too much to the bottom line, he will encounter double-teams.
Pierce made a quick stop and jumped, and missed the basket under Kidd's interference. The Corinthians and Wang Jun took the rebound from the left.
Mikati is 208cm tall. He is a inside player who plays outside. He averages 31 rebounds per game and is not worth mentioning. The only thing the Celtics are interested in is his three-point ability, which can open up space just like Walker who left.
Wang Jun passed it to Jefferson, who gave Kidd Kidd a single fast attack, and forced Atkins, who was 180cm tall and weighed 73 kilograms.
The Pistons sent him to the Celtics in the mid-term trade, averaging 62 points and 24 assists per game when the Pistons. After arriving at the Celtics, his data increased to 12 points and 53 assists.
It looks good, but what cannot be concealed is his poor ability to fight and his weak defense. With his height and weight, he relies entirely on offense in the NBA.
Kidd took the initiative to fight against his body, and Atkins lost his position and scored a layup. 2 to 0.
The Celtics attacked, Pierce wanted the ball to get rid of Jefferson's attack on Wang Jun's side, and Wang Jun replaced the defense in time.
Pierce hit the free throw line, leaned against him with his back, and quickly turned to the right to catch the jump shot.
A very simple and practical move. In the Celtics game, Pierce's attacking move often appears and is rarely blocked by others. Wang Jun didn't take it, but Pierce's shooting rhythm was so good that he couldn't block it. The ball was hollow into the net. 2 to 2.
When the Nets attacked, Wang Jun relied on cover to run from the side, avoided Wershko, and hit a three-pointer from the right.
Blunt's defense was slightly slower, and Wang Jun gave a fatal blow. 5 to 2.
Pierce went to the low post on the left to ask for the ball and then attacked Wang Jun.
Jefferson retreated to form a double team. Forced Pierce to pass the ball, Wilshko, who received the ball from the left, did not make a three-pointer at a free space, but instead dribbled the ball and rushed to the inside. Martin retreated and formed a double team with Wang Jun.
Wershko made another pass to Pierce, making a mistake and was intercepted by Jefferson.
As the 16 rookies in the first round in 2002, Czech Wershko is a failed draft example. He shot average mid-range and long distances, was 201cm tall, weighed only 94 kilograms, and was able to do anything, not good at all.
Pierce followed the defense, went to the frontcourt to pass the ball, Kidd got the ball on the left, faced Atkins' defense, and easily scored on the basketball. 7-2.
The Celtics attacked, Atkins broke out from Martin in the middle with cover, and Wang Jun replaced defense and followed.
Wang Jun has an advantage in defending low positions, which is flexible than inside players and quicker to switch defenses.
Don't be afraid that he will break into the inside, and will interfere with his shooting and keep the best distance.
Wang Jun recalled Kidd's defense method, keeping a half-step distance. If the opponent goes deeper, Martin and Collins will help make up for the defense. During the regular season, he learned how to integrate into team defense.
Atkins' emergency stop jump shot was also distracted. Wang Jun defended the 180cm tall person and kept up with it and wanted to close his eyes.
Martin retreated and easily won the rebound.
The Nets had another three-line fast break, and Martin passed it to Kidd, who led the half to Wang Jun.
Wang Jun hit a three-pointer against Atkins, and the height difference of 10 to 2.0 centimeters made him feel no pressure at all.
The Celtics attacked, Pierce was double-teamed on the left and was distributed to the outside. Wershko shot and made a shot, Wang Jun won the rebound, and the Nets counterattack came again.
Although the attack did not make a score, the Celtics' weaknesses have been completely exposed.
The information of the scouts in the Nets clearly shows that the Celtics lacked attack points, and both inside players are pure soft-boys floating outside to play.
As long as the shot is missed, the Celtics are almost impossible to grab the frontcourt rebound, and the Nets can counterattack with three people rushing in front.
The Celtics attacked, but passed it to Pierce, and the jump shot was missed by Kidd, and Collins grabbed the rebound.
The net team can prevent others without double-teaming Pierce. Pierce wants to motivate his teammates but cannot.
Just looking at personal abilities, Pierce is definitely a superstar at Kobe and McGrady's level. He can easily score 30 points. Unfortunately, his best teammate is the "Fat Head" Walker who has some problems with his brain.
The net team led by 14 points in the first quarter.
After the substitute came on the bench, Kittles and Davis restricted each other, and Jefferson continued to play with the substitute, suppressing the Celtics' counterattack.
Entering the playoffs, Lawrence will not let Korver play, and Wang Junkitels and Jefferson share their playing time, which is more efficient.
Kittles kept playing in the regular season, and averaged only 25 minutes per game. He is now very healthy.
The net team led by 28 points in the third quarter, and the game entered garbage time. Lawrence sent marginal people such as Korver Armstrong to rest.
The Celtics also replaced the substitute, and the fringe players of both sides competed, and the Nets were still slightly better, with a good start to the first game of 114 to 80. To be continued.
Chapter completed!
