Chapter 550 Appears at the Turning Point

"Tyson grabbed the basketball, Yang went for a fast break, he got rid of Ray Allen, and here comes... Big windmill dunk for Le Shang!"

"Bang!" When Yang Shuai smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand, cheers went straight to Yunxiao again, and the point difference that had just been narrowed to 4 points was once again widened to 9 points.

Ray Allen's two three-pointers did bring a glimmer of hope to the Celtics' pursuit of points, but judging from the entire second quarter, the Celtics' offense was not good. Ray Allen was beaten by Yang Shuai

After blocking the shot, he was lost in the field and did not score a point for the rest of the second quarter.

At 21:27, in the second quarter, the Warriors beat the Celtics by 6 points, which also allowed them to maintain a 10-point lead after the first half, 43:53.

Looking at the Warriors players running into the tunnel, every fan at the scene had a smile on their face. At this moment, they were undoubtedly in an extremely relaxed mood. Of course, the atmosphere of this game was not relaxed. Coming to the finals

, the atmosphere is generally not too relaxed, unless the strength of the two teams is too different, but the difference in strength between the Warriors and Celtics is obviously not big.

The game was not easy, but the mood of Warriors fans was completely different from the previous game. This was of course because the Warriors' performance was completely different from the first half.

"If the Celtics want to reverse in the second half, it seems they should make changes on both ends of the offense and defense. The Celtics did not play well offensively in this game. They only scored 43 points in the first half. Of course,

This can also be called normal. Their biggest problem is defense. In this game, the Celtics did not defend as oppressively as in the previous game. The Warriors had already won the game after the first half.

53 points.”

"No! No! No!" Kenny Smith had just finished speaking, and Barkley had already shouted: "Kenny, why are you talking about the Celtics' defense? I think they have done a good enough job on the defensive end.

.However, the Warriors' offense is obviously better, which is why the Warriors were able to lead by 10 points after the first half."

Maybe people who support the Warriors think that the Warriors' offense is very good, but Rivers doesn't think so. In his opinion, it's not as good as his opponent's offense, only his own defense is not good enough. Although the Celtics'

The defense has done quite well.

"Don't let them catch the ball comfortably. Make the defensive rotation faster. LaJian, try to make your opponent uncomfortable passing the ball. Kevin..."

In the visiting team's locker room, Rivers kept yelling at his players and gesticulating each player's responsibilities on the tactical board.

The Celtics would strengthen their defense in the second half. The Warriors players were already prepared for this, but they obviously did not expect that the Celtics' defense would be so strong. In the third quarter, the Celtics showed their outstanding performance since the beginning of the finals.

The toughest defense so far.

It's okay for ordinary Warriors players. Even Yang Shuai feels that this kind of defense is too tight. It is really very tight.

At 25:18, the Warriors, who had scored 26 and 27 points in the previous two quarters, only scored 18 points in this quarter, and losing 7 points in a single quarter gave them only a 3-point advantage before the start of the fourth quarter.

"Tyreke, you have only one task, keep attacking the opponent's defense, and then hand the ball to Stephen, Darren and Antoine. Antoine, your position is on this line, you need to

Running back and forth between the three-point line and the three-second zone..."

Although he didn't have to play, Yang Shuai still stood beside his teammates and listened to Nelson arranging tactics. In fact, he had already returned to the court to rest with more than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, but the coach did not seem to

He immediately made plans.

The Warriors' lineup was roughly the same as the one at the beginning of the second quarter, except that Landry was replaced by Chandler, and the point guard was replaced by starting Hinrich.

In the Warriors' offensive right, Hinrich dribbled the ball to half court and did not rush to hand it to Evans. After signaling Chandler to step forward for a pick-and-roll, Hinrich began to rush towards the basket.

Celtics backup point guard Nate Robinson, who faced Hinrich, didn't seem to be too prepared for Hinrich's breakthrough. When Hinrich dribbled forward, Robinson did not catch up in time.

In fact, after entering the finals, Hinrich's dribbling breakthroughs were very few. Even such pick-and-rolls were rare. More often, the ball fell into the hands of Yang Shuai and Evans.

It is up to these two extremely impactful players to attack the Celtics' defense.

Seeing Hinrich rushing into the basket easily, Rivers on the sidelines could not help but frown slightly. Read all in Fanghua Butterfly Chaos. In the third quarter, he relied on tenacious defense to narrow the point difference to

3 points, this gave Rivers an obvious feedback message. If they want to win this game, defense is the key. But now, the players on the field have not implemented his request.

To Rivers' relief, Robinson's defense was out of position, but other Celtics players made up their positions very promptly. Hinrich rushed inside, but did not find an offensive opportunity. If it were Yang Shuai, a

The Celtics players' defense didn't care about him who was determined to attack the basket. Even Evans also had this ability, but Hinrich did not. Especially after coming to the Warriors, his

The role is becoming more and more fixed as a three-point shooter.

Since he had no chance to pass the ball, Hinrich chose to pass the ball to his teammates. The ball flew out of Hinrich's hands and fell into the hands of the Warriors' only open player at this time, Tyreke Evans.

"Opportunity!" Yang Shuai off the court shouted softly when he saw Evans catching the ball outside the three-point line, but then his brows furrowed.

"Tyreke, it's a pity that he shot a three-pointer from outside. The ball hit the basket."

Evans made a three-point shot, but Yang Shuai frowned not because of this, but because Evans chose to shoot a three-pointer instead of breaking through. Evans was indeed open, but not far from him

, but there is also Celtics perimeter defender Tony Allen.

This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Evans' three-pointers are not stable, especially after entering the finals, he failed to score. If Evans chooses to break through at this time, with his impact,

, once started, even if Tony Allen posted up in time, he could not stop it. Yang Shuai still knew Evans' impact very well.

Evans rushes into the three-second zone, and even if he cannot score, he will be able to attract double-teams and create opportunities for his teammates. If Stephen Jackson or Kirk Hinrich gets a three-point shooting opportunity, the probability of hitting it is obviously higher than

Evans high.

The backcourt rebound fell into the hands of a Celtic player. Nate Robinson dribbled to half court and also signaled his teammates to pick and roll, and then went straight to the basket.

Hinrich was not as careless as Robinson. When Robinson rushed into the three-point line, Hinrich appeared in time and stayed close to him.

Carrying Hinrich on his back, Robinson took a step forward. His body suddenly paused. When Hinrich took a step forward, he quickly jumped up and took action. In terms of physical fitness, Robinson was indeed far superior to Hinrich.

Robinson jumped into the air and was about to take a shot, but he suddenly found a hand hanging above his head. Before he could throw the ball out, the big hand quickly fell and hit the basketball.

"Crack!"

"Great job!" This time, Yang Shuai didn't frown anymore, quickly stood up from his seat, pumped his fist and shouted towards the court.

"Block, from Tyreke Evans!!! Tyreke came from the side and blocked Nate's shot! Beautiful!"

"Tyreke...Evans!" The DJ's shout made the scene once again burst into cheers, and the fans began to forget about the missed three-pointer just now.

Hinrich picked up the basketball after Evans blocked the shot, then quickly swung it forward and handed it to Evans' hands.

"Porphyry!" Tony Allen's timely appearance forced Evans to stop as soon as he took a step forward. Although Evans quickly handed the ball back to Hinrich, the Warriors' fast break was

has been blocked.

Dribbling the ball steadily across the half court, Hinrich saw Evans beckoning for the ball. Without hesitation, Hinrich handed the ball directly to Evans' hands.

After breaking through and receiving Hinrich's pass, Evans rushed forward quickly. Tony Allen did not react slowly and stopped directly in front of Evans. At this time, Evans used a brutal attack.

Fa, relying on his body to be stronger than Tony Allen, Evans carried the opponent and rushed to the inside.

Tony Allen tried his best to get on Evans' side, but still couldn't stop him. Seeing this, the Celtics' defense quickly shrank and double-teamed.

The ball was distributed and he was caught in a double team, but Evans' mind did not get excited. The ball was quickly passed out and fell into Hinrich's hands.

The Celtics' defense was busy expanding. Ray Allen rushed toward Hinrich, but the ball in Hinrich's hands had already fallen into Jackson's hands at this moment. He received the ball from outside the three-point line and faced Parkin.

Si's defense was blocked, and Jackson made a decisive move.

"Stephen's three-pointer...hit! The Warriors quickly moved the ball and got an offensive opportunity, and Stephen hit it with one hit!"

Barkley shouted excitedly, and the shouting sounded again 30 seconds later.

"Tyreke broke through and rushed to the basket, distributed the ball, Kirk received the ball from the outside, and shot a three-pointer! Kirk Hinrich chose a three-pointer...the ball went in! The three-pointer was also hit!"

70:77, the difference between the two teams reached 7 points after Hinrich's shot. Evans has become the most critical figure for the Warriors in this period, although he hot-headedly chose a three-pointer at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Although he didn't score a single point in these rounds, the Warriors' 6 points were all related to him.

Evans worked hard here, and so did Ray Allen at the other end. He assisted Nate Robinson to hit a three-pointer, dribbled through the mid-range and hit an emergency stop jumper. Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Ray Allen

-Allen successfully helped the Celtics chase the score to 75:77, and the ball returned to the Warriors again.

"Tyreke got the ball again. Is he about to break through again? Sure enough, Tyreke used the pick-and-roll to rush to the basket and pass... a fake move. Tyreke's fake pass passed Kendrick.

Layup, foul...the ball went in! 2+1! 2+1! Tyreke made a layup and caused Ray Allen to foul. Extra penalty!

Hey, Young came to the sidelines, he seems to be playing. Playing! Young replaces Kirk and comes on!"

"Coax!" Warriors fans who were originally cheering because Evans completed a beautiful offense were even more excited when they saw Yang Shuai coming on the court. They shouted and shouted at the entire arena, shaking their eardrums.
