Chapter 108, A strong offense without Kobe's troubles!
The third quarter started quickly.
The starting matchup between the Lakers and the Celtics.
Less than a minute after the start of this section, the Lakers were in trouble.
The intensity of the competition between the two sides is very high, and they are constantly confronting each other physically.
Kobe was called for a steal and thug foul and a defensive foul.
The referee is a little biased towards the home team in terms of penalty scale. For the same action, Kobe will blow, but Pierce will not.
Kobe's face was not good, but there was nothing he could do about the referee.
Kobe's consecutive fouls made his fouls increase quickly. Zen master took Kobe down first, and let Zhou Hang and Gasol play with the Lakers lineup.
Celtic offense.
Pierce holds the ball at 45 degrees to the right.
Ariza is man-marking Pierce.
Although Ariza was only a role player, Pierce did not dare to underestimate him. This guy caused him enough trouble in the first half, and he was almost forced into turnovers several times.
Pierce chose to ground the ball to Garnett inside.
Garnett faces Gasol, turning his back to the frame.
Garnett made continuous tentative steps with the ball, and finally dribbled a step sideways, and then staggered Gasol's rhythmic iron-blooded jumper!
Garnett's shooting percentage this season is only 52%, which is a bit low for an All-Star insider.
The reason is that Garnett likes to finish with a jumper, rather than going inside.
Naturally, it is impossible to have a stable shooting rate at the basket.
But I have to say that Garnett's shooting is indeed a very stable one among big men.
"Shh!"
61 is better than 56
The Celtics will be in a lot of trouble without Kobe.
Fisher's catch advances.
Fisher tried very hard to bring the tempo up, but his speed was really too slow.
After leading the half court, Fisher handed over to Gasol. After finding that he couldn't play by himself, he gave the ball to Zhou Hang on the right.
It was still Ray Allen who defended Zhou Hang. Ray Allen followed Zhou Hang all the time, not daring to give him a chance to shoot a three-pointer.
Also as a shooter, Ray Allen knows how strong Zhou Hang's three-point shooting ability is. As long as Zhou Hang is given a little space, he can seize such a space and hit a three-pointer!
In the first half of the game, Ray Allen saw the power of Zhou Hang's three-pointer.
Zhou Hang didn't go to surprise Allen, but called for the double screen of two big men.
After Odom and Gasol are in place.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball laterally, and Perkins and Ray Allen chose to pinch Zhou Hang to prevent him from having a chance to be open.
Zhou Hang passed the ball inside and gave it to Gasol who was going down.
Gasol hits the basket with the ball.
The Celtics' defensive attention was on Gasol.
When everyone thought that Gasol was going to be strong, Gasol broke through and split the ball.
Gasol gave the ball to Zhou Hang in the bottom corner.
Zhou Hang's off-ball movement helped him get rid of the defense.
After Zhou Hang got the ball, he took advantage of the situation and tapped it, flying away Ray Allen who was rushing from a distance.
Immediately, he dribbled the ball one step forward, and made an emergency stop at the bottom line in the middle distance.
The movement is smooth, the rhythm is perfect, and the hand shape of the shot is also very standard.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc under the shaking of the wrist.
"Shh!"
63 is better than 56
Barkley shouted: "Oh, Zhou Hang's running position and feints are so beautifully combined, Gasol's vision is also very wide, he found Zhou Hang."
Smith said: "Zhou Hang's biggest threat is shooting, but you know he is going to shoot, but you can't guard him."
On the field.
Gasol came back and gave Zhou Hang a high-five to celebrate.
"If you keep running out of the open, I'm going to pass the ball to you," Gasol said.
Zhou Hang explained: "There won't be so many opportunities for vacancies."
Gasol nodded.
Both know that it is difficult for the Celtics to have holes in their defense, and it is really difficult to get open.
This time, if it wasn't for Zhou Hang's first swing away from Ray Allen, the shot would not have been open.
Celtics attack.
Rondo dribbles and pushes.
Zhou Hang was marking Ray Allen, and his defense was broken by Ray Allen's counterrun.
Ray Allen successfully cut in and received a pass from Rondo. Garnett helped Ray Allen block the layup space, and Ray Allen made the ball.
63 is better than 58
The Lakers attack.
In this round, Gasol still wants to pass the ball to Zhou Hang as before.
But the pass was too easy, Pierce steals the ball, and he throws the ball directly to Rondo who is going down fast.
Rondo sprinted away from Fisher and made an easy layup.
63:60.
Zhou Hang kept adjusting and taking a deep breath, Kobe was not on the court, he felt a huge sense of pressure.
The Celtics are constantly improving their defensive strength, and it is getting more and more difficult for the Lakers to cooperate smoothly.
The Celtics in the second half are the Celtics who really want to use defense to win!
In the first half, their defensive strength was really bad! !
When the Celtics began to increase their intensity, the pressure came to the Lakers.
Although there is no Kobe, Zhou Hang will not allow the Lakers to be easily reversed.
After Fisher brought the ball to the frontcourt, Zhou Hang said, "Give me the ball."
Zhou Hang does not intend to let Gasol continue to support the ball, and his pass is relatively easy to see through.
Zhou Hang asked for the ball, and Fisher gave it to him.
"Come up and cover!"
Zhou Hang shouted tactics, and Odom and Gasol stepped up.
The Celtics' defense mentioned the three-point line, and they were unwilling to let Zhou Hang get close to the three-point line.
The screen didn't work, and Gasol didn't take the defender away after rolling down with Odom.
Gasol and Ray Allen came out and forced a delay.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball and quickly took two steps back to open up space.
Garnett didn't dare to stay for long, and immediately returned to the inside line.
Ray Allen stopped oppressing Zhou Hang.
This is the defensive awareness of this era. Ray Allen still judges that Zhou Hang's ultra-long three-pointer is not a reasonable option.
Seeing that Ray Allen was no longer coming up, Zhou Hang immediately made a simple horizontal step adjustment, and the position of one and a half meters outside the three-point line was cut off!
Zhou Hang's shot was very fast, but Ray Allen was slow when he rushed forward.
Fans at the TD North Shore Garden Arena all let out an exclamation.
The position of Zhou Hang's shot is unusually far!
Can this also work normally?It seems that the strength of the ball is still very stable!
It's not the first time fans have seen Zhou Hang shoot a super long three-pointer, but they are still shocked by this unconventional three-pointer choice.
After Zhou Hang made the shot, he also watched his shot in place.
Basketball drew a gorgeous rainbow!
"Shh!"
66 is better than 60
A long-distance three-pointer made another shot and finally stopped the bleeding.
After the goal, Zhou Hang just raised a three-point gesture to celebrate returning to defense.
"Fuck, you can get in here."
"This ball Zhou Hang was forced by the Celtics' defense and couldn't get in. He just made a super long three-pointer!"
"It doesn't look like a casual shot at all!"
"Zhou Hang's touch is really not covered."
"Otherwise, can you be the three-pointer champion?"
"Otherwise can you break the three-pointer record?"
"Zhou Hang VS Ray Allen, Zhou Hang has won by three points!"
Fans are talking about it online.
Kobe on the sidelines was not surprised that Zhou Hang could make a super long three-pointer.
In the Lakers team, Zhou Hang is the only player with a LOGO three-point training program.
Except for Zhou Hang, no one else can casually shoot this kind of long-distance ultra-distance.
Kobe himself went crazy and might make a shot, but Zhou Hang really regarded this kind of shot as a regular shot.
Kobe feels that Zhou Hang is now the best in the league in terms of three-point shooting ability.
No matter in quantity or quality, it is the best in the league.
When the Lakers were in trouble, Zhou Hang used such a three-pointer to reopen the gap between the two teams.
Zen master usually rarely shows his emotions on the sidelines, but he also smiled at this time.
Zhou Hang played a leading role when Kobe was not on the court.
"Can you shoot a three-pointer from this position?" Pierce said to Ray Allen.
"Yes, but the hit rate cannot be guaranteed." Ray Allen said.
"How did he do it?" Pierce asked.
"He may be able to practice this kind of three-pointer close to the half court every day." Ray Allen said.
"Man, this is kind of scary," Pierce said.
"Well, this rookie is very different." Ray Allen said.
Whether it is Pierce or Ray Allen, they have been in the league for a long time, but this is the first time they have seen such a style of play.
The super long three-pointer is his conventional weapon, and this kind of super long three-pointer is not fixed, but the rhythm of the dribble to adjust the three-pointer.
Zhou Hang's style of play has subverted their previous definition of a three-point shooter. In their memory, it seems that there has never been a player similar to Zhou Hang.
On the field.
The Celtics' offense is back.
When the Celtics' Big Three are on the court at the same time, the Lakers' defense is not easy to defend.
This time it's not Garnett and Ray Allen, but Paul Pierce.
Pierce relied on hitting Ariza in the low post. He successfully shook Ariza with his footsteps, then adjusted his footsteps and flew to the layup.
66:62.
Pierce is not inferior to Kobe Bryant's low-post offensive master, although Ariza's defense is good, but it is still difficult to prevent his low-post offense.
The low post offense has changed too much.
The Celtics' offense is still exerting pressure.
The Lakers' offense quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the right three-point line by himself.
An extremely realistic bowing motion shook Ray Allen away, rushed in, and drifted mid-range in the face of Pierce's help defense.
Zhou Hang's shot rhythm is good, but the defense facing the ball is very strong.
"Shh!"
I can still get in!
68 is better than 62
Zhou Hang's touch was very good, and Kobe also waved the towel off the court.
Kobe would be happy to see the Celtics Big Three embarrassing in front of Zhou Hang.
Celtics attack.
Under Rondo's command and movement, the opportunity came to Garnett.
Garnett didn't make a jumper this time, but grabbed the ball on the right and rushed to Odom, who lost his defensive position.
Garnett's layup.
68:64.
Gasol quickly served to Zhou Hang.
After Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he encountered a flanking attack.
Zhou Hang jumped up and passed the ball to Ariza who was about 45 degrees down.
Ariza's rhythm is great, after receiving the pass from Zhou Hang, he immediately made a shot to convert a three-pointer! !
"Shh!"
71 is better than 64
Ariza is not Tiezha now!
"pause!!"
The Lakers' offense stopped the Celtics strongly!
