Chapter 91 Three points of rain, all the time
It is estimated that no one can think before the start of the game that the Suns' top-ranked firepower group in the league will be suppressed by the Celtics, and once suppressed, it will be a whole three-part game.
This is not that the Celtics are obsessed with the Suns by defense, but by scoring.
He scored 81 points in three quarters. It can be said that the Celtics were full of firepower, which completely relied on scoring to suppress the Suns' firepower. This game made everyone a little stunned.
Even Barkley and Smith shouted at the commentary table, "Kenny, I swear, if someone tells me before the game that the Celtics can defeat the Suns with points, I don't believe it, but now I'm thanks to not betting with others, otherwise I will definitely lose my underwear."
Not to mention that Barkley, a ten-thousand-year-old loser in the casino, can't guess those professional gamblers who live on gambling can't figure it out. There must be more than one person who lost his underwear this night.
Fighting against the league's top-scoring team, Rivers is a madman.
But it was such a crazy idea that plunged the Suns into a bitter battle, which was equivalent to being beaten by the Celtics.
However, if D'Antoni knew that this was just a tactical arrangement that Rivers temporarily changed, I guess this guy would definitely be so angry that he would spray blood.
If the beginning of the first quarter is because the Celtics are at home, it has caused trouble for the Suns with a momentum and Rivers' unexpected play.
Then in the next two quarters, the inside line of the Suns was completely blown up by the opponent.
The inside score is 50:35, and the Celtics are simply defending in the inside line of the ** Suns.
The rebound was 20:31 behind. In the first seven games, the Suns have never been so angry, including the game against the Spurs, and rebounding has never been so inferior.
The Celtics got a lot of second offensive opportunities, and the 11:6 gap simply made D'Antoni even have the strength to roar on the sidelines.
D'Antoni has not been afraid of his demeanor for a long time. His straight suit was thrown on the bench and his tie was pulled off. He almost cursed on the sidelines.
He looked at the group of big guys in green uniforms, picked up rebounds on the inside line again and again, and then wiped the board to score, or won a foul.
"Defensive! Damn it! Backboarding! Don't let them do it so easily!" D'Anthony's voice was a little hoarse, but the disadvantage on the scene remained the same.
It's not only him, but also the assistant coach of the Suns, who is now such an annoying look.
Usually, the Suns always play the attack, but this game is like a ghost.
When you meet the Celtics' style of play, it's like being controlled everywhere. How to play and how awkward.
The rebound is not guaranteed, and there are scruples about shooting. The inside line can't open the situation, so we can only rely on the periphery to break through and score.
Nash has scored 21 points in his own three quarters, which is not common in the previous games.
But there is no way. If Nash doesn't score, the score will be much worse. The inside confrontation is simply a complete defeat, rebounds, scores, and these data are all completely backward.
Only the Suns can dominate in the number of assists, thanks to Nash, but these two MVPs have been fighting for at least 30 minutes on the court and have not had a rest at all.
Although the Suns have Stadmeier on the inside line, and he alone scored 20 points and 9 rebounds in more than 20 minutes, it can't change the situation of the Suns' backwardness at all.
Thomas only scored 5 points, and there are still 3 points from free throws. Marion, who has always performed well, feels very cold, and has not made more contributions on the inside.
Although there are also 9 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, compared with usual, this data is really shabby.
Moreover, the inside line can't withstand the backbone of the team, which also makes the Suns' fast attack impossible. Without the guarantee of rebounding, it is completely relying on Nash's own hard attack.
The position battle was originally the weakness of the Suns. They broke the Western Conference for two consecutive years because they were worn to death by their opponents in the position battle.
Compared with the continuous inside bombing of the Celtics, now the tactical system of the Suns has been cut, and they can only rely on Nash and Stadmeier to work alone.
Although Nash is connected in it, compared with the collective action of the Celtics, the Suns' attack has no average score per game.
5 points, always 5 points, this is not big, but it has always maintained a score gap of three quarters, just like the face of ** naked Fande Anthony.
Is it a slap in the face? I guess D'Anthony himself has a feeling, but the score gap is real. Although the Suns have been trying to narrow the gap, it has failed every time.
Anyway, the Celtics don't want to open the score quickly. It's a little difficult for the Suns to catch up with this gap.
This kind of chase has lasted for nearly two quarters, and has been so deadlocked since the last two minutes of the first quarter.
But this is also the Suns. If it were someone else, I guess the score would have been opened long ago.
Compared with the difference in the score, D'Antoni may be more depressed that he has ignored a lot of things, such as the animal that has scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks.
"Why did you miss such a guy!" D'Antoni's eyelids kept jumping when Chen Feng came up to carry Stadmeier before the end of the first quarter.
In the ten minutes of the half-minute break, his assistant finally found out the statistics of the game between Chen Feng and the Pistons.
Although it's only data on paper, it's hard for De Anthony to see the fierceness of the Asian boy based on the actual situation of this game.
The hard chase in the first quarter may be that Stadmeier was not careful, but in the whole second quarter, the bald boy crushed again and again, scoring again and again, which was simply a sin.
Almost every time we meet, he rushes hard at Stadmeier. In order to defend the boy's tough play, Stadmeier has committed three fouls.
A rookie who has just entered the NBA meets a former best rookie winner, a violent insider who can be counted in the NBA, but he plays more fiercely than the other side.
If it weren't for the two people who had a problem, it would be that the boy had an absolute confidence in his own strength, so he dared to face the confrontation so fiercely without any concessions.
Although Stadmeyer can also rely on inside scoring and each other in a face-to-face situation, he does not have a partner like Jefferson.
When Rivers sacrificed the inside combination of Jefferson's partner Chen Feng in the second and third quarters, the inside line of the Suns was completely out of power.
It is not to say that Chen Feng is exploding with Stadmeier. Jefferson's scoring performance in the first quarter alone is enough for De Anthony to have a headache.
Now the Suns don't have Dior, who can respond and score, sitting on the bench.
For a moment, D'Antoni even doubted whether the big Asian man was thinking about how to get Dior down before playing.
Otherwise, I really can't explain why this guy picks Dior to make trouble, and the means of flirting with the other party's emotions is simply slippery like an old ruffian who has been immersed in the NBA for many years.
And the strongest part of that guy is still the offensive firepower of the inside line. I guess even Rivers didn't expect that the wild boy could score 18 points when facing Stadmeier.
Almost all of them scored in front of the opponent and scored 18 points. This guy actually only used 10 shots. This shooting rate is really amazing.
And it can make Stadmeier commit three fouls on his back, which is the most melancholy thing for De Anthony.
If this boy is allowed to get Stadmeyer down, then the Suns really don't have to play. Now this situation is enough for them to vomit blood.
Even Smith marveled, "Chen Feng of the Celtics dared to attack the basket to score in the face of Stadmeier's defense! I admire this guy's courage!"
You should know that even Duncan chose to avoid the edge when he met Stadmeier, but Chen Feng did not choose so, but hit him.
Barkley curled his lips next to him. In his opinion, it was strange that Chen Feng didn't do so.
However, unlike Barkley, Rivers and Siberdu are staring at Chen Feng like monsters, because even the two of them didn't expect the boy to go crazy like this.
The bald wild boy was gasping for breath and had been wiping the sweat on his head with a towel on the bench, but the grinning expression was very bright.
Although Chen Feng's physical energy consumption is very fast, compared with him, Stadmeyer is not relaxed, and there is no such rampant enthusiasm after the opening, and he has been resting on the bench.
Rivers and Siebodeau didn't expect that such a rookie boy shook Stadmeier and became the protagonist of the second and third quarters.
Although Pierce took the lead with 28 points in the scoring data, the whole North Shore Garden Arena was cheering for the skin-headed boy, and even the DJ at the scene was shouting Chen Feng's name.
Such a guy with an obviously persive name has become a lot of attention on this night.
On this point, Rivers didn't expect, and Sibodu didn't expect that, including those fierce players, didn't expect that it was Chen Feng, a boy who bravely carried the opponent's main attacker and launched a fierce charge.
At this moment, Rivers's psychology surged not to express his temporary intention, but began to re-evaluate the value of this wild boy.
"If this small one is allowed to enter the starting line-up, can our firepower be stronger?"
However, Rivers' idea can only be thought about later. There is still one quarter left in the game, and he has reached this part. He doesn't want to lose all.
There is also D'Antoni who doesn't want to lose Boston like this. It's enough for him to make his opponent play three quarters like this. If he really loses, he has to spit blood.
"Bell, Marion, Nash, Barbosa, Stadmeier." De Anthony wrote down the names of five people on the tactic board and then said to these people in a very low voice.
"5 points, 12 minutes left, we are still 5 points behind. We played badly today. I don't want to question anyone's performance, but I hope you can cheer up in the last quarter. The game is not over yet. I don't want anyone to give up like this. We still have a chance to win!"
De Anthony's words also mean something. Banks and Thomas' performance in the third quarter were very sluggish, especially Thomas, who committed a malicious foul after being slam dunk twice by Chen Feng's against Jefferson. At that time, D'Antoni almost jumped up from the bench in shock. He didn't want anyone to be sent off again. However, Thomas's depressed mental state still made D'Antoni a little vigilant.
After all, the previous games have been smooth, but when they encounter such a hard stone in Boston, it is no wonder that some people look very depressed, especially Thomas's data and performance are very sluggish.
"It is difficult for us to take advantage of the inside competition. This is a fact, and we must admit it." Although D'Anthony was a little unhappy when he said this, he still didn't say anything after he squeezed his lips. After all, this is the actual situation. Even if he wants to deny it, he can't say it.
Seeing that Stadmeier was not talking, D'Antoni continued, "The inside line is out of control. Let's just pull away the opponent's defense. They focus on blocking Amarley under the basket, so we will specialize in the periphery!"
"Now only Amalek is on the inside. Your task is to fight with the opponent on the rebound. Sean will assist you, but Sean's task is still floating on the periphery, so you have to face the two big guys of the Celtics. If you can't catch it, play the rebound as much as possible."
"And the other four people, I need you to move frequently in the two bottom corners and 45 degrees to pull the opponent's defense. Their defense outside the three-point line is not strong, so your task is to fire on the periphery, open their current defensive formation, and disrupt the defense system of these guys!"
I guess no one can think that D'Antoni would do such a trick at this at this moment, but this guy knows in his heart that if he continues to spend so much time, don't say that they won the game, they won't lose much. After all, Stadmeier is not omnipotent. He can't have been so desperate with Chen Feng all the time. Go, Thomas has become a huge scar on the inside defense, which is unbearable.
So, I can only bet. Even if it is a hard peripheral attack to reflect the long-range artillery of the Suns, it is much better than being dragged to death with the opponent like this.
Just like Rivers' unexpected aggressive defense at the beginning, no one could have thought that in the last quarter, D'Antoni bet all his bets on his peripheral offensive firepower.
But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Nash and Barbosa took the lead in shooting in the two bottom corners. Although Pierce also returned one, it was just a prelude, and Marion then hit twice in a row.
Originally, he was still leading by 5 points, but the Suns' crazy three-point rain actually reversed the score to a leading 2 points, thanks to Chen Feng who completed a make-up basket on the inside line.
However, looking at the opponent's crazy counterattack, Chen Feng's fire was very strong. He was guarding Stadmeier on the inside line and could not jump out. He just watched the opponent throw three points into the basket one or two.
"I'll go! Four shots and four in four! You guys are cheating!" Chen Feng scolded loudly at the Suns, but he couldn't change the opponent's crazy firepower.
It's raining all the time...
(I'm hanging up. It's a little slow to hit the keyboard. There will be another chapter later, but it may be past 12 o'clock. If you are sleepy, you can go to Huhu first and watch it tomorrow. I advise you not to go out to eat indiscriminately. I went out to eat mutton kebabs the day before yesterday. As a result, something went wrong. Enteritis, I'm dizzy. Go back to the hospital to see. I'm helpless to be despised by my colleagues, and the problems of diarrhea and vomiting have not stopped. It's so uncomfortable.)
