Chapter 471 The Celtics' home whistle



Chapter 471 The Celtics' home whistle
Tatum hurried slowly, still not keeping up with Meng Hua, watching the ball draw a wonderful arc in despair.

Swish!
Among the three points, the mission must be achieved.

Vogel's hanging heart was finally relieved, and he had only one breath left just now.

If Meng Hua can't play again, this game might turn into a massacre.

The noisy arena quieted down, and the fans were a little worried because Meng Hua had hurt them too much.

They secretly worry about the team.

"Be sure to guard against that annoying number 95."

Fans want it, and of course Udoka wants it too.

But he has already sent Tatum and Meng Hua to face each other, so what else?
If Smart were to defend, the opponent would have kept picking and rolling, and it would still become him and Tatum.

Defense and offense are inherently contradictory.

When you adjust the player who is facing him because of someone's lack of defense, others will also adjust according to your adjustment and continue to attack someone.

Such adjustments can sometimes backfire and knock someone's confidence on defense.

So the best way to adjust is to get someone to improve their defensive skills.

Both offensive and defensive, can shoot and cap, isn't it good?
The Celtics players are not in a panic, they have been defending with all their strength, and the opponent will score sooner or later.

Smart led the half court, feinted a shot, and handed the ball to Brown.

Brown's attack on Rivers has an advantage in the main matchup. He was originally the team's second offensive point.

Smart can attack Westbrook with the ball, but his offensive ceiling is very low and he can't make any waves.

The Lakers' wishful thinking is that the two best perimeter defenses will consume Tatum and Brown as much as possible, and then James and Big Eyebrows will beat the opponent's Horford and Williams to accept the game.

The Celtics are not fools either. Their combat intention is that Horford and Williams block each other's scoring points, Tatum attracts Meng Hua to defend, and then Brown and Smart blow up the opponent.

In other words, in terms of defense, whoever resists first has a great hope of winning.

Therefore, in the first quarter, it is necessary to fight the bayonet, abolish the opponent's offense, shake their confidence, and then affect the subsequent games.

The Lakers' confidence was indeed shaken, but the main reason was not the Celtics, but the fans at the scene.

Their noise greatly stimulated the sensitive and fragile nerves of the Lakers.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing. At the critical moment of life and death, not everyone can have nerves like steel.

Brown continued to stimulate the fragile nerves of the Lakers, let alone Rivers in front of him, even if there are thousands of troops, why should he be afraid?

A beautiful cross step, connected to the left back and turned, Brown passed Rivers, and took three steps to kill the penalty area.

Facing the thick eyebrows to supplement the defense, he showed what is called the world's best physical fitness, not afraid of physical confrontation, and pulled the ball in the air to score the ball.

This shot won him a lot of applause, because the thick eyebrows completely stood still, which was equivalent to a frontal defense. In the end, he still couldn't defend Tanhualang in 2016.

Strong in body, smart in mind, tough in play and desperate in defense, although not the top card in the team, Brown also fully represents the spirit of the Celtics.

The score stretched to 10 points again, and Vogel cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Rivers has been sent to defend Brown, should Meng Hua be transferred to support?What about Tatum?
Meng Hua deflated Tatum, averaging 10 points less than usual, and Vogel will never adjust this line of defense.

It can only make Rivers a little more crazy, and then make the thick eyebrows pay more attention to defense.

Westbrook held the ball across half court.

After pressing many times and failing to steal the ball, Smart was also a little tired.

If Westbrook doesn't break through, but just moves laterally and passes the ball, it will be difficult for Smart to steal the ball. He is physically strong, but Westbrook is stronger than him. If it is only about his body, Westbrook is a top match.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Since the effect of personal pressing is limited, Smart must of course reduce the intensity.

Without the sound of muscular clashing, Westbrook was not used to it. He winked at Meng Hua in the bottom left corner and motioned him to step forward to cover.

The affection is endless, Meng Hua understands, stepping on the seven stars, floating left and right, like running for an empty space, and like covering.

Tatum followed him mechanically, failing to see through the enemy's offensive intentions, so he could only defend in this way.

If you pounce too hard, in case the enemy makes a fake move, you will be swung by.

Even if you don't pounce hard, you may be swung by.

Although Meng Hua ran forward, as if to cover Westbrook, he was actually thinking about the left bottom corner.

Halfway through the run, after continuous left and right fake moves, he accelerated forward again. Seeing Tatum shifting gears to speed up, he slammed on the brakes, bowed and ran in the opposite direction.

Westbrook hit the ground vigorously to pass the ball, Meng Hua received the ball, jumped off the ground, and shot the ball in one go.

Swish!
No matter how beautiful the posture is, it can't match the sound produced by the water splash.

The point difference was pulled to within 10 points again, and the most important thing is that the Lakers' offense has found a rhythm.

The players are running and the ball is spinning. This is basketball.

It was Meng Hua who stood up and opened up the situation.

The Celtics felt the pressure. Smart held the ball across half court, broke through hard, and arched in against Westbrook.

Did not score.

but.

The referee gave the whistle.

Westbrook put his head in his hands, but he didn't complain aloud. He had long thought that there would be such a home whistle, and he reluctantly persuaded himself to accept it.

Smart was twitching and moving slowly. He was actually fine, but he wanted to give the referee the illusion that Westbrook was almost injured.

He doesn't mind being mean as long as he can win.

What is it to cheat the referee?To blame can only blame the referee for not being discerning.

He is insidious and cunning, but he thinks he has a bottom line, at least he will not make actions that step on his feet and hurt others.

Tatum made two free throws and the Lakers got the ball.

Westbrook was really fired up and accelerated crazily with the accelerator.

In the frontcourt, the vigilant Brown and Smart have retreated to defend, and the two of them formed a semi-encirclement around him.

Westbrook was desperate and forced his way through the crowd. There was a vacuum under the basket. Westbrook didn't dunk and picked the basket easily.

It's not that he doesn't want to dunk, he sprints with all his strength, and accelerates through the seams. His physical strength has also reached its limit, and the basket in his eyes is like a mountain.

The Celtics attacked again, Smart continued to push the wall violently, and Westbrook fought and retreated.

With nowhere to go, Westbrook ran away, his bones cracking, ready to become Megatron.

beep!
The referee blew his whistle again, and Westbrook fouled twice in a row, Vogel had to make a substitution, and it was Monk who replaced Westbrook.

Smart continued to make free throws and made 2 of 1 free throws.

His free throws have always been accurate, but he pushed twice and chased Westbrook once more, he was also out of breath, and the free throw rhythm was not right.

Even so, the Celtics still lead by 7 points.

Westbrook committed 2 fouls in the first quarter, and he probably won't come back.

In the face of Smart's strong attack, can Monk withstand it?
I don't know if he can withstand it, but the media are optimistic that the Celtics will win.

Because from these two defenses, we can see the attitude of the referee.

As long as the Celtics dare to rush and create enough physical confrontation, he dares to blow.
