Chapter 163 Overtime

After talking to Xiang Jianzhong and his family, Xiang Chu chatted with Olivia for some time.

When you have to rest on the road, the latter item is the basic operation.

Back to back away, I haven't played for a long time, and it's still away from the Eastern Conference, so my physical condition is not so easy to maintain at the peak.

The Celtics' core lineup is one year older, and Ray Allen leaves for the Heat.

They signed Terry to supplement the rotation in the summer, and Jeff Green, who was reimbursed last season, is back.

Compared to last season, they actually had more attack points, but their defense was a bit reduced.

The position in the East has also declined again, and the aging of the core lineup will definitely be affected.

For the Nuggets who play back to back, the Celtics are definitely strong enemies.

Pierce hit 2 three-pointers at the beginning, declaring the difficulty of the game.

The Celtics are now asking Garnett to play the No. 5 position. They are actually the way to play in a small lineup and are not as good as the orthodox center.

Garnett is already 7 years old, and he can basically only shoot offense, but his defensive strength is still good, but the same thing is true, good defense does not mean that Xiang Chu can be restricted.

It is not possible to limit Xiang Chu's weight. In order to maintain mobility, Garnett's current weight cannot withstand Xiang Chu. In addition, he can't jump up now, so Xiang Chu can't beat him as much as he wants.

But it is common for the Nuggets to cooperate with his rhythm, and he is trapped by the outside.

When encountering the Celtics' defense, it is even more difficult for the Nuggets to score on the outside, which is already unstable.

In fact, Rondo was injured and did not play, but the combination of Bradley and Courtney Lee also had strong defense.

When it comes to the rotation period, Terry and Jeff Green play better.

While Xiang Chu bullied the old man, the Nuggets never led the score in the first quarter.

The Celtics' three-pointers are not very good, but they hit a high shooting percentage against the Nuggets.

There is really no way to do this. The shortcomings of the Nuggets' outside defense cannot be eliminated in just a short period of time.

To be honest, the Nuggets have some excitement on the outside and can often perform two completely different performances.

In the second quarter, Old Miller and Brewer took the lead in counterattacking.

The rotation lineup has made efforts, and the main lineup led by Xiang Chu will definitely not be timid.

For Xiang Chu, it is okay to bully Old Garnett, but it is also very easy to kill Jeff Green.

The Celtics also knew that they could not do it in the three-second zone, and the attack end would pull the outside line out.

This move is quite ruthless. Now so many teams play in small lineups because they can cover up their flaws.

Speaking of the complexity of tactics, it is much richer now than traditional basketball. If it is done well, it is possible to defeat the strong with the weak.

However, this is also a matter of chance, and it depends on the performance of the players on the court.

Even if the Celtics pull the inside out and the Nuggets feel uncomfortable, they won’t compete with the opponent in a small lineup. Xiang Chu only needs to get the ball on the offensive end, his efficiency is higher than that of a small lineup.

The Celtics had no choice, and their lineup was not able to fight against Xiang Chu.

Their inside lines are all mobile, but in fact, they can barely make do with the inside lines of many teams. Xiang Chu is really too strong, so they have to play the strategy of mutual injury.

In the first half, the Celtics led by 4 points, and 7 three-pointers were not a joke.

Three-pointers are one more than two points. Theoretically, as long as you score enough three-pointers, it would be useless for Xiang Chu to kill all the opponent's inside line, but the difficulty of three-pointers is also more than two points.

After playing around, the essence of basketball is to see who both sides performs tactics more efficiently. Simply put, it is to play well.

In the first half, only Xiang Chu scored in double digits, and George Carl was also a headache. Xiang Chu's annoying agent had talked to the team management several times, accusing the Nuggets of not supporting Xiang Chu enough.

The management basically let him, as a coach, take the blame. If it were other players, George Carl would have worn the shoes long ago. He hates the arrogance of super players.

However, Xiang Chu himself is not arrogant at all, and George Carl is not easy to say anything. If you play well, you can do whatever you want in the league. It is useless to be Coach Qiansheng.

In the third quarter, Ty Lawson opened, and they were about to catch up with the score, Pierce also exploded.

Garlinari's performance today was a bit disappointing, and he was completely suppressed by Pierce, a buddy who could be said to be a veteran.

Moreover, Terry came up with two more three-pointers, and the Celtics no longer had the annoying Ray Allen, and Terry was quite annoying.

The main force is just a little bit, and the substitute returns the score again.

George Carl is also considering that it would be fine if he loses this game, but it's back-to-back, and it doesn't make much sense to continue winning, so don't hurt the players.

However, he still wanted to fight to see how the main force played up.

After Xiang Chu went up, he dunked Garnett. Now Garnett's defense is just putting pressure on it and he will not try to block the shot at all. Xiang Chu will hit the ball without hesitation.

Last season, Garnett was very energetic and wanted to teach the children a lesson, but this season he became much more honest. It seems that he has gotten much better with his age.

The main players took effect when they came on the court. In the last five minutes, Gallinari, who had a solid game, finally hit a three-pointer, and the score gap between the two sides was instantly only 4 points left.

There is a chance, but the Celtics will not sit idly by and watch the Nuggets approach the score.

They are also the strongest lineup now, with Terry and Jeff Green on the court.

Terry is also old, and it is not as magical as the Mavericks at the critical moment, but Jeff Green is having fun at this time, and Fared can't help but play Fared in a row.

Farid played hard and defended hard, but his height was really a flaw in the inside and was often shot in front of the fourth position, which was taller than him.

In 2 minutes and 4 seconds, Xiang Chu scored 21, and the score difference between the two sides was only 1 point.

More than a minute later, Xiang Chu got another chance to hit, but Farid had a little conflict with the opponent, and the referee gave him a technical foul. After the Celtics' free throw, both sides tied.

Next, Xiang Chu found it difficult to receive the ball in the three-second zone. Entering the last moment, Jeff Green hit the ball again, and the pressure came to the Nuggets.

Xiang Chu received the ball from a relatively outside position, then passed it to his teammates and turned around and squeezed into it.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the Nuggets were unable to pass the ball in.

In the last few seconds, Old Miller and Tay Lawson made a familiar cooperation. Old Miller wanted to go inside after the cover, and then passed the ball. Tay Lawson made a mid-range shot.

With Terry missed the buzzer-beating move, both sides entered overtime.

Even Xiang Chu was out of breath when he was going back to back again when he was going to play overtime.

But on the field, you cannot retreat no matter what difficulties you encounter. This is the quality of an athlete.
