Chapter 290 Wild burst!
No one can think that after just one timeout, an old guy replaced by the Celtics will take the lead in bursting out strong energy, and he can complete the attack beautifully in the face of Duncan's defense!
If the replacement is to change the style of play and reverse the unfavorable situation, then this adjustment by Rivers has slightly exceeded his expectations. Weber's outbreak has surprised many people.
No one would have thought that he was such an old big man who first blew the horn of counterattack for the Celtics!
Weber's success in the face of Duncan's attack brought the score gap back to single digits, and after the attack, Weber, who was a little excited, successfully interfered with Duncan's shooting in the next match.
Originally, Duncan had stuck in the position first, and his shooting hand was also raised high, but at the moment before the shot, Weber stretched out his hand beside him. Although he failed to cover the ball, he still interfered with Duncan.
Duncan's shooting has always been very stable, but in the face of such an opponent who is familiar with him, his steady playing style has become the best opportunity for Weber to catch the fighter. If Duncan had played faster, this interference would have been avoided long ago, but it was too stable. A slight pause gave Weber a little adjustment. Between.
This is Duncan's first missed shot since the start of the second quarter, and not only did he miss the shot, but the rebound was also caught by Chen Feng, and then this guy sent a pass across the half to Ron.
Elson wanted to stop Chen Feng from launching a fast attack, but he was firmly stuck behind the boy and couldn't move. He didn't even have a chance to reach out and interfere. He could only watch Chen Feng throw the basketball out.
Rondo's front insert has no hesitation. This guy's shooting at medium and long distances is very useless, but in the face of the empty defensive layup, he is still sure, and there is no pursuer behind him.
The main reason is that all this happened a little too fast. Weber's interference, Chen Feng jumped up and grabbed the rebound.
Then Rondo almost sprinted with full horsepower while Duncan didn't shoot. This series of cooperation made the Spurs unpredictable, and even Parker was thrown away by Rondo's rush.
A standard quick counterattack, which has always been what Popovich told his players to play on the sidelines. As a result, before the Spurs could seize this opportunity to counterattack, the Celtics came first.
And the whole process is clean and neat so that you can't find anything wrong with it. Except for Elson's slightly stuffy chest that was pushed by Chen Feng, the Spurs have no chance to stop this very standard fast counterattack.
This is only the prelude to the Celtics' counterattack. Duncan's shot failed to score. Ginobili's shot near the three-second zone was also blocked by Webb and Pierce. Two people in front and back. Webb suddenly killed the make-up defense from the basket, so that Ginobili could not dodge after taking off the air. Webber's big slap He also fanned fiercely on the basketball thrown by Ginobili. The sound of beating on the basketball was extremely dull.
Not only did he block Ginobili's shot, but Rondo intercepted the fanned basketball first. The attack and defense reversed in an instant, and the Celtics made a steady shot in another wave of attacks.
It's still Weber's against Duncan, but this time Weber did not hit Duncan, who was stuck in a good position, as before, and stepped on the three-second zone line and cast a mid-range at the 45-degree angle.
Simple shaking, accurate launch, the previous strong hit made Duncan hesitate. As a result, Weber really did not continue to hold the ball. He naturally raised the ball in front of Duncan and then threw it out. The perfect arc drawn by the basketball in the air accurately plunged into the basket, bringing the white net and kept turning over. Move.
When Weber's second shot was also successful under Duncan's eyes, the score difference between the two teams was only five points, and the Celtics' slightly silent mood was even more crazy.
Even Rivers stood on the side of the field and roared. It could be seen that this guy was also very excited now. He was pressed to the ground by Popovich for a long time. This was an opportunity to catch Rivers to vent!
Webb's sudden outbreak made people a little unprepared, especially as he caused a lot of trouble for Duncan as soon as he came on the stage. On this point, Popovich didn't expect it, maybe even Rivers didn't expect it.
It was a good business to deal with such a former All-Star who was bought out by the 76ers in the middle of the season. Even Angie herself said that Weber was snatched from the Pistons, but after Webb joined the team, he had been recovering from his injury. In the first month, he did not play at all. Pass the ball.
Many reporters are laughing at Boston for doing a loss-making business this time. After a long time, such a big man from the Pistons is still a decoration, and it may never be useful.
"Maybe Weber is going to have a last dinner in Boston." It's not one or two people who say such sarcastic things, and even those who have bad mouths will say that Boston has been cheated by Weber's fame this time.
Many people were even guessing at that time that if the Celtics did not buy out Weber's remaining contract this season.
So how long will Angie's patience last? On the contrary, in their opinion, the riving of the contract is only a matter of time.
Or the Celtics will wait for Weber to get out of Boston, complete the final nostalgia of an old player in the NBA, and then leave it to all those who are familiar with him, a curtain call performance that is not perfect at all.
Just like when those old guys left in the past, the scenery of the past is no longer there. There is only a lonely back, going further and further. Until a long time later, they have been forgotten by the new generation of fans.
In the eyes of many people, waiting for Weber is also such a fate, but sooner or later.
If Spreeville's signings have played a role, maybe Weber's signing is the only deal that has been criticized. Many people are even waiting to see what Angie will be like to worry about such a bad contract at the end of the season. As for Weber's future, they think there is only one way to retire. It is.
Although Weber did not mention the issue of retirement and did not pay attention to the news that has been disturbed by the outside world, after Weber returned to the team after his injury, Weber's performance has indeed been quite flat. He played less than 20 minutes in each game, with an average of about ten points per game, plus six or seven rebounds and three or four assists. The data is not Duohua. Li.
There is even a certain gap from the performance of the 76ers in the first two months of the season, but this old guy doesn't seem to care about these problems. As for the cattle of the Celtics, they have always been very grouped.
Although Webb and Sprewell are halfway joined, no matter who they are, as long as they are a member of the Celtics, they will not be rejected. Even when there is any biased report from the outside world, these guys will collectively put on a very ugly face to those damn media, which is the cohesion of the Celtics. Force.
However, Weber's contract with the Celtics is not a big burden. It's profitable to grab such a big guy from the Pistons who can play a series of internal and external attacks from the Pistons.
It's just that some critical reporters and fans always like to say that Weber is old and has no combat effectiveness. He has long been an old man who is going to retire. Even in the 76ers, he is a bought-out.
An old man who doesn't even want to keep a rebuilt team. There is nothing to praise. At most, he is a cost-effective spare tire. When Jefferson and Chen Feng have problems, he can make up the number.
But this is the old guy who is regarded as a number. When facing the Spurs today, he showed his offensive talent. When Duncan's hand has sealed his eyes, Webb can still shoot and score.
That's really a real exercise for everyone. What is gorgeous technology, unstoppable positioning interpolation, including the last shot, all make you a little unable to resist.
No matter what others think of Weber's outbreak, Rivers feels that he has made a profit. Originally, he didn't expect Weber to take the lead and advantage in his opponent with Duncan. He just hoped that Weber could drag down his opponent with experience.
The result is not only to delay, but also to get 4 points in a row in less than 80 seconds, which also makes Duncan score two consecutive attacks. Counting Rondo's fast attack, in more than a minute, the Celtics have chased 6 points in a row. It was 11 points difference just now, but now the gap seems to have become different. It's far away.
These short dozens of seconds made Webb show the ability of an old guy, made Rivers happy, and made Popovich feel a little headache. As for Chen Feng, he already knew that Weber could do something on the court.
"Nonsense, how can an old guy who practices with me on the sidelines when he has nothing to do disappear from the NBA so frustrated? What are those reporters thinking? With that animal, he can only do better.
Compared with those who have been bad-mouthing Weber, Chen Feng has nothing to say about Weber's outbreak.
It has been almost two months since they have been crawling together. Of course, Chen Feng knows how old and hot Weber is at the offensive end. Even if Chen Feng's physique is superior, it is basically impossible to hold Weber roughly.
"The guy I can't hold down, will he be beaten down so easily? If you think so, unless there is something wrong with their brains, they will be cheated by the reporters. What? Retired? Come on, that guy said when he was training a few days ago that he would consider renewing his contract with Angie to win the championship!"
Now Chen Feng just wants to say that he wants to see Weber's excitement. Now it's all right. They are all slapped in the face by the old guys.
And this time Weber's move is not light. Look at the reporters who once advocated that he was going to retire. At this moment, how rich and wonderful the expressions on their faces are. This kind of embarrassment will make their faces feel feverish.
Popovich may be the first time in this game to call for a time out because of the disadvantageous situation on the field. It can be seen from the expression on his face that the old guy is very unhappy, and he is even more depressed than the opening time.
Rivers were patting Weber on the shoulder, signaling that the old man was really beautiful, and the atmosphere of the Celtics became much more active because of such a sudden outbreak, sweeping away the previous deadness.
A short pause, dozens of seconds, will not change much, but Popovich has seized this time to warn Duncan to pay attention to Weber's ball-holding attack, especially not to let the opponent play.
How famous Webber was in the West, and Popovich didn't know it. Once the old guy was hit, the ghost would know how much trouble it would be. If you don't want to lose, you have to be careful.
There has been a short adjustment in the first quarter, so Popovich will not easily change people now. Both sides are stuck in a stale confrontation, and no one dares to relax easily. In this situation, Popovich does not dare to easily replace Duncan. He can only tell his proud disciples to give Weber some pressure. .
After all, Duncan is now at the peak of his career, and Weber is already going downhill. If Duncan can calm down and deal with it, he will definitely not let his opponent play so smoothly, at least there will be no continuous scoring.
Popovich still wants to control the rhythm of the game by relying on a mature system, calm offensive rhythm, and Duncan's performance. Although he is only five points ahead now, if it can be implemented to the end, the result will not change.
This is a kind of self-confidence that has been dominated by victory for a long time. Popovich wants to curb the Celtics' performance from all aspects, just like as Webb just broke out, he immediately extinguished the explosion point.
But before Popovich's tactical adjustment is really put into practice, the score gap on the court has been narrowed to three points! After the pause, it has only been less than 10 seconds!
Even Popovich, who has always been calm, couldn't help cursing in a low voice on the sidelines. This is a rare abnormal performance for Popovich, who is a soldier. It can be seen that the old man is now very angry. This damn game has not changed because of the suspension. Hua.
No, it has changed, but it's even worse for the Spurs, because in addition to Weber, who was taken care of by Duncan, another celestial monster of the Celtics began to be fierce.
Originally, it should have been the attack of the Spurs after the pause. After receiving the basketball, Parker rushed all the way to the half of the Celtics. If Rorndo hadn't stopped him in front, it was estimated that the French sports car could have plunged into the three-second zone to complete this rapid push, but this idea was strangled by Ron. .
Although there is still a little gap between Rdo and Parker in terms of age, experience and ball control technology, in the face-to-face confrontation between the two, Rdo, like a gibbon, can cause a lot of trouble for Parker.
Even his "ET" appearance can make Parker feel pressure. There's nothing you can do. Every time you look up, you can see such a strange face swaying in front of you. After a long time, it's really a little psychological obstacle.
However, Parker has been in the NBA for several years. Although Rondo is very active in defense, the confrontation between the two is still half a catty. As long as Parker wants to pass, Rondo really can't do anything about him.
As a result, it was the same this time. Parker took the ball and was stopped by Ron. The French threw the ball to Elson without stopping. He expected this guy to be a cover for himself. As a result, Parker's pass didn't wait for Elson's hand, and a hand slapped fiercely from the side like a ghost. Come on.
Elson's reaction nerves are far less fast than that of that hand. By the time he understood, the other hand had cut the ball away, leaving only Elson with the back of the No. 99 jersey that had begun to run.
Half around the front, the lightning-like speed of the ball was cut off. Parker saw the whole process of Chen Feng's ball, but all he could do was to chase wildly. From the second of the ball in front, the iconic quick counterattack had begun.
Elson had no advantage in moving speed, but now he is counterattacked by a beast like Chen Feng. What's more, he didn't expect that when he remembered the defense, Chen Feng had already crossed the half!
If what Webb showed the Spurs fans before was his lightness and agility, then when Chen Feng soared to the basket, even if Parker had pasted from the flank, there was still no way to stop his impact.
Parker tried to make an offensive foul with his small body, but how could Chen Feng, who had passed by like a strong wind, step on the brakes, "Go away!", a roar, plus a flying figure.
Just now it was Weber who fought against Duncan. So in this second, Chen Feng was not sprinting against Parker, but everyone was staring at him. Poor Parker hung on Chen Feng's body and floated forward in the air. If there was a chance, the Frenchman would definitely hug Chen Feng's waist, because of this kind of toughness. The impact has made the French sports car completely uncontrollable. He was completely pushed by Chen Feng like this!
This is not an equivalent confrontation at all. When Chen Feng's hands grabbed the basket and shook it hard, the unlucky Frenchman had played face to face with the group of reporters under the basket. How embarrassed he fell. The scene will not lie, and looking at the reaction of his fiancee Eva, you can also know how much this guy is. Miserable.
Someone once said that playing in the NBA to stop James' charge, you will obviously feel like you have been hit head-on by a bullet, and you will definitely feel suffocating.
But Parker, who is now lying in the crowd, will definitely tell the person who said this, Damn it, you went to block James' charge, but you were just hit by a bullet!
I just obviously felt that I was directly hit on the chest by a howitzer with a diameter of more than 115 mm!
Parker, who was lying in the pile of reporters, couldn't feel suffocation now. What he could feel was just bursts of dizziness, and even the lights on the roof of the stadium were not so dazzling for him.
When your eyes are black, you won't feel anything around you. In addition to the exclamation from the stands, there is also a beastly roar in your ear...
