Chapter 568 Rarely Getting into Foul Trouble
Chapter 568 Rarely Getting into Foul Trouble
Thomas Jr. went down because of a sore butt, and the backcourt combination became Smart + Bradley. The defense of these two is absolutely nothing to say. They are both elite levels, much better than the Cavaliers' Irving and JR.But both of them are not good at offense. Not to mention the unstable 3-pointers, the offensive ability with the ball is also lackluster, and the threat is not great.
Although Thomas Jr. is a colander on the defensive end, his offense is unambiguous. Even if his butt is injured, he is still stronger than these two in terms of offensive threat.This is why he was able to become the leaderboard of the league's regular season MVP and was selected to the best team, while these two had no chance.
For the current league's needs for defenders, scoring ability and organizational ability are prioritized over defensive ability.The defender's defense is actually passable. There are many people who wipe their buttocks, which can be compensated by team defense.But poor defense on the inside is fatal. Originally, the position of the basketball is set, and the job of the inside is to protect the basket.
The Celtics' defenders lack the ability to initiate offense, but someone still stood up, and it was their center Horford.
After all, Horford is an All-Star insider. He was suppressed by the Beast in the previous games, but now that the Beast has gone down, it is TT who was almost hollowed out by Khloe Kardashian. Hit TT.
TT has been the Cavaliers' iron man + macho in the past few seasons, and has not missed n games.But since he fell in love with Kohler, he had a one-month rest this season, which caused headaches for the Cavaliers management.The management also has no right to stop him from falling in love with so-and-so, after all, this is their private matter.But the women of the Kardashian family are too powerful, as evidenced by the fall of Iron Man TT.
Looking at Harden who left Kohler alive and well, some things can really reflect something when put together.It's not necessarily a rule, but it's a commonality!
The hollowed-out TT is no match for Horford, and the one-on-one was repaired badly, forcing the Cavaliers to use the defense.
Cavaliers coach David Blatt and chief assistant Tyronn Lue on the sidelines looked helpless. Who would have thought that TT would be so soft.In the Eastern Conference playoffs, he was not afraid to fight against the Bulls' Noah and other strong men, and he could barely switch to Curry in the finals.But now, at the age of 26, he actually looks much slower than the 31-year-old Horford.
TT was educated by Horford. In this way, the two sides played evenly, the score was not drawn, and it was still a stalemate.
At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by 23 point at 24:1.
The Beast has been sitting on the bench, and he seems to have no psychological burden and looks very calm.If he is not on the field, the boos will naturally be much smaller.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Beast still didn't play. When he played, it was almost half of the second quarter.
Without the Beast, the two teams were fairly evenly matched, but as soon as he played, the balance of power was broken, and the Cavaliers regained control of the initiative.
The Celts knew the threat of the wild beast, and they all rushed towards him like dead soldiers.Even though he has a strong ability to control fouls, he can't stand the opponent's repeated attacks and the referee's control of the field.
Soon, Beast received his third personal foul and went off to rest again.
After the beast went down, the Celtics finally took a breath, and the pressure on the inside was much reduced.But they still couldn't catch up with the score, because the knights led by Jan Ou were also quite difficult to deal with.
At halftime, the Cavaliers led by 49 points 46:3.
The Beast only played 7 minutes and 59 seconds in the half, scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. The efficiency was very high, but the distance was quite explosive, and there was still a long way to go.
The Beast only played less than 8 minutes, and the Cavaliers still led by 3 points, which is not good for the Celtics.Because it is impossible for him to play only 8 minutes in the half. If he can't catch up or even overtake the score in his absence, let alone this game, this round of the series will almost completely lose suspense.
Intermission.
Wang Meng said: "Mr. Yang, halftime is over, please comment!"
Yang Yi turned his pen and said, "Shouye has fouled three times now, and the Cavaliers still lead by three points. I see, if the referee hadn't been staring at him in the second half, it would be difficult for the Celtics to maintain the point difference. Thomas Jr. was injured, which had a great impact on the Celtics' offense, and it is impossible to defend against the Big Three Cavaliers purely on defense."
Section 3 started soon.
The beast is back on the field again.
He played less than 8 minutes in the first half, and he didn't feel tired at all.He has not been in foul trouble for a long time. In the best few seasons, he has controlled his fouls very well every season. He has never left the field with 6 fouls, and even rarely has 5 fouls. This makes him already Forget what it feels like to play less than 8 minutes in the half.
Under the boos of the audience, the beast had only one thought in mind, that is to kill the opponent, this match must be won!
The Cavaliers took the lead in attacking, and Irving dribbled over.
Thomas Jr. had already withdrawn from the game because of a hip injury, so Smart replaced him in the second half.
It was Bradley who defended Irving.
Bradley is one of the best players in the league who bites the 1st position. He is tough and tough. Although he is small in stature, he never backs down and has good defensive skills and habits.
Irving was a little overwhelmed by Bradley, and he stopped passing the ball. He forced a wave of singles, but the jumper missed!
Horford closed the board and handed it to Smart to advance.
"Smart Brother" Smart has a small tank figure, a cool hairstyle and exaggerated tattoos. It stands to reason that he should be an iron-blooded warrior and a super macho, but in fact he is a man who can switch between hard and soft at any time. guy.When he is hard, he can be the steel beast James, and when he is soft, Korver can knock him into the air...
Smart held the ball at the top of the arc, and with the help of Horford's pick-and-roll, he broke through the corner Crowder!
Crowder scored another high point Olynyk!
Olynyk hands Bradley again!
Bradley caught the ball and rushed to the basket, trying to make a foul by the beast, but the latter blocked it delicately with the hand of Kato Taka!
Beast blocks +2!
James counterattacked with the ball, killed the frontcourt one-stop, and divided the fast-following beast!
The beast directly takes 3 steps!
After Claude dragged and dragged down, he still couldn't stop the beast's footsteps!
The referee's whistle has sounded, but the beast has spread its wings!
Only a "boom--" was heard, and the beast ended the round with a powerful dunk, and an additional penalty was required!
The Celtics fans in the TD North Shore Garden Arena let out a long sigh. The ball was so shocking that they forgot to boo the beast for a while!
