Chapter 544 Two Weaknesses

The two brothers started this year's finals with an aerial relay. This was very bad for the Celtics. Two points were nothing, but Pierce was faced with the humiliation of Ji Guowei, which was the big problem.

When Ji Guomeng played in the finals last season, he would not break through with the ball. At most, he made a big three-step layup from the wing and free throw line, which would not be particularly threatening.

However, this season, Ji Guomeng became the top player in the league with the ball breakthrough. He has the star-level frontal offensive ability, coupled with his height and long-range shooting, which makes him stand on par with or even surpass Stoudemire's offensive ability.

The Foxes will break through, and the Pandas will also shoot three-pointers, which seems no big deal, but for the defensive side, such changes make it more difficult to defend the Clippers exponentially. "Three-pointers" and "breakthrough" are not just as simple as it sounds, but this is a qualitative change.

Charles Barkley smiled and said, "We all know that Brother Foxes always boasts that he is the strongest No. 4 position in the league this year. We don't care whether he is bragging or not, but if you really find an active No. 4 position player in the league with an offensive threat that is stronger than him, I think you may not be able to find it."

Kenny Smith also said: "That's true. After Duncan and Garnett got old, only Nowitzki and Stoudemire remained at a certain level, but these two people were not young anymore. One was not as good as the Fox's brother's ability to break through with the ball head-on, and the other had minimally invasive surgery on his knees. His athletic ability was not as good as the Fox's brother. The former league's four forwards were caught up by the Fox's brother from behind before he knew it."

In the first quarter, Ji Guomeng's personal performance was completely a personal performance. His ball-holding breakthrough made Garnett exhausted. This is what Old Dunleavy wants to see most. Garnett is too important to the Celtics. As long as Ji Guomeng can try to consume the Wolf King's physical strength as much as possible on the offensive end, the Celtics' losses cannot be compensated.

The Celtics' embarrassment is not that they can't defend against Ji Guohumiliation. Rondo's three-pointer with 0 of 3 shots is the real reason why the Celtics fans are frustrated.

The Clippers' strategy today is to let the Celtics point guard shoot outside the three-point line. Billups gave Rondo two big steps to take action, but this was a pledge that the Celtics point guard who wanted to avenge his previous shame could not make it. Rivers was so anxious that he could not go up and do it for himself.

The first quarter ended. The score was 26:18. The Celtics were in a dilemma on both ends of offense and defense. They could not defend against Ji Guohuo, and the point guard's inaccurate shooting weakness was targeted again. Such a start was really bad.

Ji Guochou scored 5 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Ji Guomo had 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, and Billups had 6 points, 2 assists.

Garnett scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Pierce scored 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Ray Allen scored 3 points, Rondo scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Glen Davis scored 4 points.

The Clippers also encountered some problems in the first quarter, and Crawford began to continue to sluggish in the Western Conference Finals. Now this sluggish state continues to the finals. Facing Tony Allen's defense, Crawford was lost like the Cavaliers' backcourt. He missed all two shots in the first quarter, and had a pass mistake. He once again verified the regular season, and was indeed unreliable when fighting tough battles in the playoffs.

Many fans think that players like JR. Smith, Crawford, and Nick Young are too low, but NBA teams and player agents are not fools. Since they get this salary, they must have flaws.

At the same time, it also explained why Bunchi Wells was able to start the price after only five good games in the playoffs, asking the Kings for an annual salary of tens of millions. And the Kings really planned to open it to him because they could play at that level in the 2007 Spurs, which was worth tens of millions of annual salary.

Artest is also an example. If the Beast is still in the Clippers this season, there would be no suspense for this year's championship.

Before the second quarter started, Rivers threw away the tactical board in his hand and encouraged the Celtics players in his infectious voice: "Forget the damn tactics and forget the damn pressure, you can defeat them. All you have to do is believe in yourself and trust your teammates." Speaking of this, Rivers looked at Rondo and said solemnly: "Rajon, I will ask them to give you the basketball. Your next task is to shoot for me, 'I will definitely shoot in next time', and repeat now."

Rondo's psychological quality is really unspeakable. He heard this and shouted loudly: "I will definitely throw that damn basketball in next time."

Garnett put his big hand on Rondo's head and encouraged: "Boy, your talent is no worse than anyone else. He is thinking about this in his heart when shooting, and we all trust you."

Rondo had no expression on his face, and he still looked like everyone owed him money, but he was very grateful to his coach and teammates in his heart. This is why he learned to learn humbly. Although Garnett was very abominable in the eyes of his opponents and was very strict with his teammates, he was indeed a good leader and would give serious advice to the junior players, provided that you must be talented first.

In the second quarter, the two teams sent out substitutes.

The second tier of the Clippers: Dragic, Crawford, Barnes, Almi Johnson, and Jordan Jr.

The second tier of the Celtics: Rajon Rondo, Tony Allen, Al Thorton, Glen Davis, Mickey Moore.

The Clippers' starting lineup is indescribable. The substitute lineup was originally played well in the regular season, which made people feel that they have no weaknesses. However, in the playoffs, except for their good performance in the first round, the performance of these substitutes began to plummet. By the Western Conference Finals, they were completely scolded by Clippers fans as CBA level.

Crawford is the key to this lineup. As long as he can score, the Clippers are not afraid, but the Celtics have Tony Laren, whose defense completely blocked Crawford.

Rondo did not really make three-pointers like a fool when facing Dragic. Of course, he had to break through to the inside to score points. The twin brothers were rarely not on the court, so this opportunity could not be missed.

When Dunleavy saw Rondo using his breakthrough to score 4 points in a row, he thought that he should stagger the playing time of the two brothers like the Spurs in Game 6 and always keep one person on the court?

Or, stagger Billups and the two brothers?

Old Dunleavy was thinking in his mind that there was only one Crawford in the substitute lineup obviously not enough. Adding Billups' words may give their rotation time the upper hand, at least not losing to the Celtics.

The Clippers' substitute lineup really doesn't give fans face. In four minutes, Dragic scored two points with his mid-range shot. The second-tier team's match was 8:2, and of course the Clippers are the 2.

At 8 minutes and 30 seconds in the second quarter, Dunleavy replaced the two brothers, and the score became 28:26. Fortunately, the Clippers scored 2 points. Otherwise, the Celtics would equalize the score.

After Ji Guomeng came on the court, he made a three-pointer and missed a shot. This guy made 4 of 5 shots in the first quarter, and it was time to miss a shot.

The Celtics immediately fought back after grabbing the rebound. Al Thorton made a layup and was chased by Ji Guoqiu from behind. A big hat was fanned out, and a deafening cheer sounded from the Staples Arena.

There is also a player in the Celtics who are getting worse and worse in the playoffs, that is Al Thorton. This kid is also a player who is not very reliable in tough battles, and he plays completely with his body. When he meets a superstar who is better than his body, he often dies very ugly.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, Thorton was blown away by James with a big hat several times. When he came to the finals, his Panda brother gave him another reappearance yesterday.

Compared with players like Ginobili, Crawford and Al Thorton seem to be no different in the regular season. They both seem to be players of the same level. The difference is that in the playoffs, they took an opposite fork path. The former declined and the latter rose instead, and their historical status was naturally very different.

Dragic got the basketball, and the Clippers paid tribute and fought back.

Ji Guomo was on the wing three-point line, received a pass from Dragic, and made another three-pointer, but he ended up making another iron.

"Damn, I will definitely be able to make it next time."

Ji Guomeng doesn't need old Dunleavy to teach him this plan at all. He is born with the 17/47 attribute, so he really plans to do this. Anyway, as long as he doesn't really make 17/47 like the boss, he will not be afraid of anything. He doesn't believe that he can vote for 17/48.

As expected, flag cannot be established indiscriminately. Ji Guomeng missed all the first three shots in this quarter. Although Rondo also missed another shot outside the three-point line, Pierce's mid-range still tied the score.

Rivers soon replaced Rondo, who had no rest, and the Big Three returned to the field.

The Clippers also replaced Billups, replaced Crawford in advance, replaced Avraro and Garcia's forward combination to strengthen defense.

After the two teams equalized the score, the score remained stalemate.

Slowly, old Dunleavy realized something was wrong. They had too few free throws today. So far, there were only three free throws, but the Celtics stood on the free throw line seven times.

Ji Guomeng failed to make three consecutive shots. Panda brother decisively took over the offensive banner and used his height to attack Perkins twice at a low post. The Celtics have many weaknesses, one inside and outside, so there is no need to fight for the two brothers.

Rivers was helpless. It was very effective to use Perkins to deal with Howard, but when facing inside lines with hooking ability and large projection range, the Celtics' Big Fat is often unable to do so. Whoever made him 208cm tall but had a figure of more than 280 pounds. It would be absolutely impossible to move faster. Once someone flew a kite, he would be extremely ugly when he was dead.

The Celtics quickly used Garnett to defend Panda Brother, but the Fox Brother is not stupid either. Since the shooting is not accurate, then go in and play. Will Perkins, a fat man, still want to stop his breakthrough?

This flag did not work, and Perkins could not defend against Ji Guohumiliation. Rivers did this and he would soon get retribution.

Ji Guomeng made a layup after a breakthrough, and his emergency stop after a breakthrough made Perkins shake, making it into two plus one, scoring five points in a row so that the Celtics could only request a timeout.

How can we limit twin brothers?

This is a problem that Rivers couldn't think of a proper plan even if he scratched his hair. It seems that **Vic did not think of it. The Spurs' plan was to use offense to solve the problem, but of course they could not defeat the Clippers and died heroically in the end!

The Spurs' corpse was behind him. Rivers naturally didn't want to use this trick to deal with the Clippers, but without this trick, they seemed to be unable to think of a solution to the problem.

The Celtics want to fight against the Clippers, but it’s almost the same as the 25-year-old Big Three. Now among the three old guys, Pierce, the youngest, is 32 years old. How can he fight against others?

The 60-second timeout passed quickly. Rivers finally made no arrangements except to encourage the players. He hoped that the team's defense could play a role.

Unfortunately, Garnett is not a pervert who can defend outside the three-point line at the age of 25. Now he can only defend near the free throw line. If his opponent is a twin brother, even if this position is still unsafe, he may not be able to come back after going out.

Ji Guohumiliation verified Garnett's thoughts. The Fox brother led Garnett to the free throw line at a high position, and he had to go head-on in disguise.

The old wolf king moved sideways, but his steps were still not as fast as the young fox. In the end, he could only pull the dead fox's jersey from behind, and the referee did not whistle.

Ji Guomo did not completely pass Garnett. He thought the referee would foul, but the whistle did not sound.

Perkins attacked in time, and Ji Guomeng jumped up and passed the basketball to the outside. In order to avoid steals, the ball passed very high and almost returned to the court. Fortunately, Billups got the ball near the center line.

With three seconds left in the offensive time, Billups transported the basketball to a position two steps away from the three-point line and forced his move...

"Swish!"

After a shot so far away, the basketball simply smashed into the basket. Billups himself was also a little incredible. He looked at his hands and looked at his good luck today. He smiled happily with half of his front teeth. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
