The glory of the center

Chapter 133 First Try to Organize the Attack

The sun has experienced another five-game winning streak, but it is not all good news for the sun. Due to the intensive schedule of this season, players' injuries occur frequently. After the start of the season, Elvin Gentry made great adjustments in terms of employment. The playing time of Zhao Yue, Anthony and Nash were reduced, and some players were allowed to rest in the middle, but even so, the team still encountered some injuries.

In the game against the Knicks, Channing Fry was unable to play due to injury. According to the team doctor and trainer, Fry had better continue to rest for three to five days, and in the game against the Bobcats, Nash was injured again.

Nash suffered a back injury in the game, and the team doctor recommended seven to ten days off, so he will not be able to play in the next game against the Celtics.

Two important players in the starting lineup, Fry and Nash, were unable to play due to injuries, which is a big test for the Suns who came to Boston. Even if the Celtics ranked 5 or 6th in the East after the start of the new season, after entering January, the Celtics' record has begun to rise, showing that They are still competitive in the east.

At Boston's North Shore Garden Arena, when the Suns players appeared in the stadium, the camera was often aimed at Anthony and Zhao Yue. Fry and Nash were absent, and all the burdens were on them. The defense of the inside line depended on Zhao Yue, and Anthony needed to shoulder the heavy responsibility of attack.

"For Cameron and Zhao, this game is a test. Without Steve's help to attract the opponent's defensive firepower and organize the team's attack, the Suns' attack will be very difficult, which is already obvious to all in last season's playoffs. The Celtics are not an ordinary team, even in this game Their defensive efficiency is declining in the season, but they can still play the level of the top defensive team in many games.

The match between the Suns and the Celtics was scheduled to be broadcast live by ESPN before the start of the season. When Zhao Yue appeared on the big screen, Mike Brin said in the commentary table next to him.

Of course, Zhao Yue also knew that he paid more attention to himself in this game than before. Although his performance this season is very dazzling, there are still some objections. Many of them pointed out that Zhao Yue's attack benefited from Nash's assists. Some people think that Nash's assists make Zhao Yue's attack easier in the game, and it is precisely because Zhao Yue's ease on the offensive end can improve his data in an all-round way.

Zhao Yue himself also knows that without Nash and Fry in this game, there must be many people waiting to see the defeat of the sun, and then many people will find an excuse to criticize themselves.

The starting players of both teams came to the field, and the starting lineup of the Suns was Zhao Yue, Massin Gotat, Cameron Anthony, Vincent Carter and Aaron Iverson.

The Celtics' lineup is relatively complete, with insider Kevin Garnett partnered with Brandon Bass, small forward Paul Pierce, shooting guard Ray Allen, and point guard Rajan Ron.

Zhao Yue and Garnett jumped the ball, and Garnett also knew that jumping was not Zhao Yue's opponent, so he did not try his best to jump. Zhao Yue easily helped the team get the first offensive power.

The ball fell into Iverson's hand. After Iverson dribbled the ball to half-court, Zhao Yue had fallen to a low position and stuck Garnett. Iverson did not hesitate too much and directly sent the ball to Zhao Yue's hand.

Zhao Yue received the ball, and the Celtics' defense immediately began to shrink, and Paul Pierce had come to Zhao Yue's front to prepare to fight with Garnett.

"The Celtics really used the bag clip. They have used the bag clip tactics at the beginning of the game. Now let's see how the Sun will deal with it." Seeing the scene on the field, Mike Brin shouted with great interest.

The ball fell to the floor, and Zhao Yue began to dribble. Pierce, who was one step away from Zhao Yue, immediately posted it. Seeing that he had completely attracted Pierce's attention, Zhao Yue grabbed the rebounding ball in his hand and quickly pushed it out to Anthony's hand.

Anthony did not stand outside the three-point line to catch the ball. When Pierce participated in the pinch, he had already started from the three-point line. After receiving Zhao Yue's pass, he rushed forward and Anthony dribbled the ball to the basket. Pierce left Zhao Yue's side and rushed to Anthony, but in the face of Anthony who had rushed up, Pierce could not stop him directly.

The Celtic defense, which had already contracted, played a role at this time, and Bass came forward in time to help Pierce stop Anthony.

The breakthrough was blocked, and the ball in Anthony's hand came out quickly. Garnett was still restrained by Zhao Yue and did not dare to leave. Bass's defense emptied Gothaut, and Anthony seized the opportunity to send the ball to Gotat.

After receiving the ball outside the three-second zone on the left, he took a step forward and took off. Gotat raised the ball and hit the basket with both hands.

"Bum!" The powerful dunk made the basket make a loud noise.

The Celtics' attack was also successful. After Garnett took Zhao Yue out of the penalty area, Rdo broke through to the basket to complete the attack, and the ball came to the hands of the Sun again.

Iverson dribed the ball to Zhao Yue again after dribbled to the half. At this time, Zhao Yue did not catch the ball at the bottom, but mentioned the free throw line. With Zhao Yue's aggressiveness at this time, even if Zhao Yue mentioned the high-ranking Celtics, he did not dare to be careless.

But Zhao Yue, who was holding the ball at this time, had no intention of attacking. His body kept turning and his eyes began to search for the position of his teammates in the half-time. At this time, the rest of the players of the Suns began to run.

Iverson rushed past Zhao Yue's side and ran to the basket. At the moment when the two staggered, the ball in Zhao Yue's hand also passed to Iverson's hand.

When he handed the ball to Iverson, Zhao Yue turned sideways slightly and just blocked the following Ron. When Rondo rushed past Zhao Yue and wanted to keep up with Iverson, but he couldn't do it.

Garnett stayed next to Zhao Yue and did not dare to go to the inside line to make up for the defense. Other players of the Celtics had to shrink their defense again, and Iverson, who found the opportunity, sent the ball to Carter.

After receiving the ball, Ray Allen gently shook off the defense. Carter stepped into the three-point line and made an easy shot and hit two points.

After the start of the game, although Zhao Yue received the ball in almost every round, he did not take action, but used himself to attract the Celtics' defense to pass the ball to his teammates again and again. Zhao Yue also knew that his passing skills were not good, so when choosing the receiving position, he also consciously chose a place that was more conducive to passing. His passing may not be directly converted into assists, but after Iverson and Anthony made a middle, they were able to tear open the Celtic defense line to get some Attack opportunity.

For most of the time in the first quarter, Zhao Yue mentioned the high level of pulling out the inside line of the Celtics, while the rest of the Suns' players attracted the contraction of the Celtic defense line by catching the ball after running or cutting directly into the basket to help his teammates get opportunities.

24:25, after the first quarter, the Suns were 1 point behind, but many people would be surprised to think that Zhao Yue only got 2 points through free throws in the 24 points of the Suns.

"Good job, guys! Zhao, after the start of the second quarter, continue to help your teammates create opportunities. If the group of guys opposite strengthen the offensive efficiency of defensive teammates and decline, you need to stand up to attack. Taking advantage of the first break, Gentry began to arrange the next tactics.

The Suns' tactics in the first quarter were deliberately arranged by Gentry. Such tactics will make the Suns' role players more involved in the attack to make up for Nash's inability to play, and on the other hand, will make Zhao Yue more relaxed. Zhao Yue only came to rest in the last minute of the first quarter of the game, but Jin Terry knew that Zhao Yue did not consume too much physical strength, and Zhao Yue's own physical fitness also showed that he was a physical maniac. Zhao Yue did not attack in the first quarter and played very easily, which was very important for the later games. Jin Terry knew clearly With the Celtics' defensive ability, Zhao Yue must stand up and score if the Suns want to win at the end of the game.

After the start of the second quarter, Zhao Yue continued to sit off the court and rest, but was sent to the court after only a minute and a half of rest. At this time, the score of the two teams was 27:27. With a three-pointer by Grant Hill, the two teams tied.

In the first three minutes after Zhao Yue played, he was indeed doing the same thing as in the first quarter. After taking the ball, he did not attack much, and more often passed the ball to his teammates. In the first few rounds, the tactics of the Suns were still effective, but as time went by, the Celtics slowly found a defensive method, and the Suns' offensive success rate began to decline.

31:34, the Sun is 3 points behind, but the offensive power is in the hands of the Sun. Iverson dribbled in the first half, and the ball was not directly handed over to Zhao Yue's hand. Yi Jianlian picked it up and removed it, and Iverson dribbled the ball and rushed to the basket.

Zhao Yue still stayed at the middle distance. At this time, Bass had followed Yi Jianlian to the outside line. Garnett, who defended Zhao Yue at the bottom line, was the closest Celtic player to the basket. After seeing Iverson rushing towards the basket, Garnet left Zhao Yue and rushed to the basket to make up for the basket.

At this time, Garnett did not have many choices, but he was still afraid that Iverson would pass the ball to Zhao Yue. He, who was experienced, did not think that Zhao Yue would not attack all the time.

Passing the ball! Iverson rushed into the three-second zone, and the ball in his hand quickly pushed out and sent it to Zhao Yue's place.

"Sure enough!" Seeing Iverson passing the ball, Garnett muttered to himself, and he quickly turned around and ran to Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue, who received the ball, did not give the ball to his teammate again. After receiving the ball, he jumped directly from the middle distance of the bottom line and shot. Although Garnett rushed back quickly, it didn't have much impact on him.

"Wo!" I didn't take much action for more than a quarter, but the feeling during the warm-up training was still maintained. The ball passed through the net steadily and hit two points.

"Zhao hit two points, and when his teammate's attack began to be limited, Zhao finally began to stand up and score!" On the sidelines, Mike Brin shouted.

This is a simple attack, but because Zhao Yue's previous period of time has refreshed all those who paid attention to Zhao Yue. Scoring is Zhao Yue's real killer!
