Chapter 782 A Historic Tragedy



Chapter 782 A Historic Tragedy

The short timeout ended quickly and the game continued.

The announcer announced loudly that the Celtics seemed very determined to replace Josh Jackson with Hayward.

The referee blew the whistle to time the ball, and the Celtics launched an attack from the bottom line of the backcourt. Hayward dribbled the ball to the top of the frontcourt arc, and then passed the ball to Thomas Jr., who was surrounded by ladder screens. Morris turned around and cut in. Horford Continue to cover for Thomas Jr.

As usual, Cousins ​​was delayed in making an attack, but Thomas Jr. was quite resolute. He rushed directly to the free throw line, made an emergency stop and retreated horizontally, carrying the threat of Cousins ​​blocking the block, and made a super-difficult backward shot. The basketball fell into the net , Finally scored two points for the Celtics.

The King turned to counterattack and started with a five-out formation. Brogdon took the pass from Curry on the left and played a pick-and-roll with Antetokounmpo on the right. Catching the ball carried Brown and made a strong move, causing a foul.

Jay is considered a strong defender, but he can face up to Antetokounmpo who is sprinting at full speed, which is comparable to an SUV model against an MPV model.

Two free throws, the audience shouted MVP.

Morris spouted trash talk, and complained about Antetokounmpo's free throw preparation time, which was enough for Bolt to run 100 meters, but Antetokounmpo ignored it at all, calmly aimed at the basket and prepared, and made two free throws steadily, helping the Kings with 13 Leading the Celtics by 2.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

The Celtics started with a bullhorn formation and switched to RAM to cover and cooperate. Thomas Jr. misplaced against Antetokounmpo, did not dare to directly force him, and then switched to a 14FLAT formation. After Horford raised the screen for the second time, he misplaced against Cousins ​​again. Stop rushing to shoot a three-pointer.

Basketball clangs like iron.

Tatum got the rebound and pushed for a fast break. Antetokounmpo caught the ball and rushed to the basket. Taking advantage of the three people's siege, he made an emergency stop and passed back to Tatum. Unfortunately, Tatum hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner and failed to continue the King's [-]% shooting The momentum caused the audience on the sidelines to call it a pity.

The Celtics then launched a counterattack. Thomas Jr. and Jaylen played a trailing screen to cooperate, and the three-point shot hit the board and rebounded.

Antetokounmpo received the basketball and saw that the Celtics gave up the offensive rebound early and returned to defense early, turned around and handed the ball to Curry, and Curry took it to the 45-degree three-point line on the left side of the frontcourt, pretending to play an early offense with Cousins Cooperating, actually put the ball straight to the basket, and Brogdon just ran to the basket with the help of Tatum's off-ball cover, caught the basketball and took off, gliding in the air for a while, and hitting the backhand.

The basketball slammed into the net, 15-2.

"It's useless to retreat quickly..."

Su Yang was very happy, completely giving up the offensive rebounds and returning to the defense in advance is a common method for many teams to deal with the fast break, but that can only deal with Brother Antetokounmpo. Once the retreat is too deep, the Kings still have Curry. It's really wrong to ignore the head and the tail.

The two teams switched offense and defense on the court. Horford dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and passed it to Hayward who ran over from the left corner with the help of a screen. But I don’t know if it feels like there is a chance, or Coach Stevens just like that Arranged, actually rushed to shoot a three-pointer directly.

The basketball bounced back with a clatter.

The Kings controlled the rebound and counterattacked. The Celtics retreated very quickly. Antetokounmpo passed the ball to Curry too much. Suddenly, he immediately stepped forward and made a three-pointer with the ball.

The basketball hits the hoop and hits the net.

The cheers at the center of Golden One burst.

Antetokounmpo shook his fist and roared, completely hilarious.

Su Yang glanced at the scoreboard and found that the Kings had already led 18 to 2, and the advantage was bigger than expected.

On the live broadcast, Van Gundy sneered: "I thought the Celtics would focus on defending the perimeter after returning from a timeout, but I didn't expect them to continue to focus on defending the inside. Could it be that the fear of Curry has reached an incomprehensible level? Curry must be locked. inside?"

Jackson sighed: "That can't be helped. A monster on the outside and a madman on the inside must be ready to switch defenses in advance at any time. Besides, the Celtics themselves are not a strong defensive team. The reason why they won the 76ers before was because Simmons refused to shoot outside. The Raptors lost their dominance in the interior because of Gasol Jr., but this time they met the Kings, no position has a short board, and they were exposed reversely..."

During the conversation, Horford made a breakthrough from the elbow area, turned around and made a strong hit from the free throw line. It was difficult to push Cousins, but he was also shaky. He was about to join the ball, but he failed to grasp it. In one go, he took the basketball away.

Cheers erupted simultaneously.

The King launched a three-line fast break. Unfortunately, Brogdon was too anxious and the long pass was too forward. Antetokounmpo failed to catch it. The basketball rolled out of the sideline. Stevens hastily laid out tactics.

Su Yang saw Stevens' actions in his eyes, and felt inexplicably sad. The Celtics did not dare to call timeouts continuously, but the situation was close to collapse. The first few minutes of the first game of the key series ended in such a miserable state. The players They are prone to PTSD.

Kick-off on the field again.

The Celtics started in the bullhorn formation, and Xiaotuo passed the ball to Hayward, who was raised on the left elbow, and then started to rush to Horford, who was on the right elbow. He pretended to use the cover to move inside, but suddenly stopped and turned. Set a rundown screen for Hayward.

Horford raised the screen at the same time, but the quality of Xiaotuo's screen was poor, and Tatum quickly squeezed through to catch up with Hayward.

The double screen turned into Horford's single screen, which was enough, Hayward took the opportunity to break through to the left, and faced Cousins ​​in a dislocation.

Cousins' lateral movement was slow, and Hayward broke through easily after shaking his tentative step, but he did not expect Cousins ​​to return in time.

boom!Hayward knocks Cousins ​​to the ground.

Beep!The referee whistled for an offensive foul.

Cheers erupted in the arena, and Su Yang applauded along with him. This foul successfully prevented the Kais from starting.

The offense and defense changed accordingly. The king started with an inside and four outside formation. Antetokounmpo raised Curry to cover his back. Encircled, and then divided into Tatum in the bottom corner on the right.

The mid-range shot from a small open spot immediately went into the air, and fell into the Nets with a bang. The Kings led 20 to 2, and the cheers burst.

The timeout whistle followed, and Stevens couldn't bear it anymore. The scene for the Celtics was too tragic.

On the live broadcast, Van Gundy complained: "I imagined that the Celtics would lose, but I never imagined that it would start like this. Their offense was too simple, their defense was too rough, and the Kings could easily control the rhythm. Why? How about that?"

Jackson was full of doubts: "I didn't understand the two rushing three-pointers before, but I can understand why not only did they fail to score, but they ended up with an offensive foul, because the hit It's too simple, and the Celtics players don't have the ability of Leonard, Durant or LeBron. The King can predict in advance almost every time..."

Between the speeches, the pause ends.

The game continues.

The Celtics started with a 14FLAT formation. Jaylen mentioned the top of the arc as a cover. Thomas Jr. took the opportunity to break through. Jaylen the line.

The open space appeared simultaneously. Jaylen took the ball and did not dare to shoot. Instead, he crossed and made a breakthrough. However, his one-on-one skills with the ball could not forcibly pass Brogdon. , instinctively hold the pass high.

The idea is good, but the action is too obvious.

Antetokounmpo raised his hand subconsciously, intercepted the basketball, then turned around and grabbed the ball in his hand. The King launched a fast break counterattack.

All the members of the Kais were stunned. Antetokounmpo rushed to the basket in the frontcourt. He surrounded Morris Jr., Horford and Jaylen to force the layup. Three, the cheers of the Golden One Center were loud.

The Kings led 22 to 2, the Celtics collapsed on both offense and defense, and Vick Bello in the north stand was livid.

Stevens couldn't call three timeouts in a row, and the game continued. The referee couldn't stand the order and called a blocking foul.

Taking advantage of the foul gap, Stevens hurriedly arranged for Smart to replace Jaylen Brown, trying to strengthen the defense.

The game restarted.

Thomas Jr. made a mid-range shot, and the Kings turned around and Antetokounmpo made another strong charge. He was capped by Horford, but once again they grabbed the offensive rebound against the Celtics. Hayward fouled and got two free throws. Vince took the opportunity to replace Xiaotuo.

After some adjustments, the Celtics' defense was finally not so fragile, but they still couldn't resist the Kings, and the offensive end was even more free.

首节比赛打完,国王45比17领先,字母哥独得19分2助攻6篮板。

Back in the second quarter, the Celtics finally played at a normal level, but they were still inferior to the Kings, 25 to 34 in a single quarter.

At the end of the third quarter at halftime, the Kings made a 39-25 lead and entered the fourth quarter with a 51-point lead. Matt Damon was so angry that the quartet left the field early, and finally scored 143-98 Beat the Celtics and win the first game.

The 45-point gap successfully refreshed the 98-point gap created by the Bulls against the Jazz in 42 and became the first in history.

After the game, hot discussions on Twitter and other social networks continued. Many fans advised the Celtics to surrender and lose half.
