After Zhou Hang moved laterally to the right, he passed the ball to Kobe.
Kobe changed direction and passed Ray Allen and then hit Perkins. Perkins' thug fouled.
Kobe stood at the free throw line and made two free throws steadily.
58:76.
Zhou Hang said to Kobe: "You can continue to rush to their inside."
Kobe nodded.
Because they had to defend Zhou Hang's three-pointer, the Celtics' defense expanded very wide, and the Lakers had many breakthrough opportunities.
The Celtics' offense is back.
Rondo dribbles upcourt and tosses the ball to Pierce in the low post.
Pierce singles Kobe Bryant.
Kobe is very defensive, but Pierce is not afraid. He has the advantages of height and weight.
Pierce's low-post offensive skills are also very proficient.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Pierce's turnaround jumper after consecutive hits.
Pierce's posture is not good-looking, but it is very practical. He staggered the rhythm with Kobe on this ball.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc.
"Shh!"
60 is better than 76
Pierce's state is very good, and immediately responded to Kobe's scoring offense.
Pierce wiped the sweat from his forehead. The Lakers are in great shape today, which made him feel stressed.
Kobe took a deep breath and planned to adjust his defense. Pierce couldn't let Pierce catch the ball so easily.
"Pierce played well today, but met the crazy Lakers."
"The Lakers can't afford to lose. Pierce's struggle is doomed to be useless."
"Pierce's offense is indeed very versatile. Without a good talent, he uses various technical moves very reasonably."
"Pierce is the target we should learn from"
The Celtics in the third quarter were not easily killed by the Lakers, and they still showed their tenacity.
The Lakers attack.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, this time it was Pierce who defended Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang originally wanted to play inside, but the Celtics backed off this round.
Kobe didn't want to be in place on the inside, so he signaled Zhou Hang to play by himself.
When Zhou Hang and Kobe are on the court at the same time, the Lakers will focus on the two of them on offense without thinking about others.
Pierce opened his hands, lowered his heart, and stared at Zhou Hang's movements seriously.
"Whoosh!"
After a change of direction, Zhou Hang exploded and passed on the right side of Pierce.
Pierce defended very hard, but he really couldn't keep up with Zhou Hang's current speed.
Zhou Hang broke through to the middle of the free throw line and the three-point line, lowered the tempo to collect the ball, and made an emergency stop to shoot from mid-range! !
The rhythm is perfect and the shot is smooth.
"Shh!"
Arrow through the heart!
60 is better than 78
Celtics attack.
After three passes and two downs, Rondo gave the ball to Ray Allen in the bottom corner.
Ray Allen didn't hesitate, and shot a three-pointer against Gasol's little interference.
Hand up and down! !
"Shh!"
63:78.
The Celtics' offensive rhythm came out, and they kept scoring.
The fans at the Staples Center are not so noisy anymore, and the fans all hope that the Lakers can withstand the Celtics' counterattack.
The Lakers attack.
Zhou Hang was very calm.
Rondo and Pierce came to attack Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang didn't play the ball rashly, Pierce's strike was too early, and he cut into Zhou Hang's hand.
"Snapped!"
"Beep!"
The referee whistled Pierce for a foul.
Zhou Hang felt that the Celtics were a little anxious.
The more anxious they are, the more stable they will be.

The Lakers' offense is back.
Kobe dribbles upfield.
Zhou Hang went up to cover Kobe.
The pick-and-roll between Zhou Hang and Kobe is very powerful.
There are also many changes.

Gasol's one-handed catch smashed into the frame.
"frame!!"
75:95.
The Lakers opened the point difference to 20 points.
Celtic offense.
Rondo and Garnett's pick and roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Rondo gave the ball through the gap to Garnett, who was going down.
It was Zhou Hang who switched to guard Garnett. Garnett's height and wingspan were an advantage. He dribbled the ball high and turned around for a layup.
Zhou Hang tried his best to block it, but he couldn't prevent it.
"Shh!"
77:95.
Zhou Hang frowned.
The Celtics' offensive touch is great, and it is very difficult for the Lakers to completely hold them down.
We can only continue to attack against attack.
Barkley said: "Zhou Hang's defense is great, but he can't restrain Garnett who runs like this. Garnett's height and wingspan advantage is too obvious. The Lakers lack a traditional center to help them defend."
Smith said, "Charles, you mean Andrew Bynum?"
Barkley said: "Of course, haha, if Andrew is here, the Celtics will be completely out of play."
Smith said: "I don't think they can play now. The Lakers don't need a center now."
As Smith said, after Garnett scored a layup, the Lakers quickly launched a counterattack.
Zhou Hang charged after receiving the ball, leaving Gasol behind.
The Lakers' speed is too fast, and the Celtics' lineup has not yet fully settled.
Zhou Hang changed direction at high speed and passed the nearest Rondo, stopped in the middle of the free throw line and the three-point line, and then made a mid-range jumper!
The Celtics' defense is not clear. After Zhou Hang passed Rondo, no one came to defend him.
"Shh!"
Zhou Hang made another solid hit!
77:97.
"Damn it! Zhou Hang's middle distance is too stable, so he responded immediately."
"Not even letting them breathe, just not letting them turn over."
"Brilliant!!"
"Zhou Hang's mid-range kill."
"No solution, just enter!!"
The fans admired Zhou Hang's shooting stability.
Neither team scored in the next two waves of offense, and the Lakers led by 20 points into the final quarter!
Final battle.
The Lakers sent Zhou Hang, Vujacic, Trevor Ariza, skier, Odom's second team.
The Celtics sent House, Tony Allen, Pierce, Posey, Garnett's second team.
The obvious difference between the matchup between the two teams and other teams is that there are many players on the field.
This also depends on the depth of the lineups of the two teams, both teams have a lot of immediate combat power.
The Lakers serve.
Ariza sent the ball to Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Following Zhou Hang is Tony Allen.
The Celtics' defense did not flank Zhou Hang, but took turns to defend alone. Tony Allen, Pierce, and Posey all tried single defense.
Zhou Hang brought it to the top of the arc, beckoning to pull it away.
The Lakers players dispersed to watch Zhou Hang perform.
The Lakers' second team also likes to play with Zhou Hang. Zhou Hang always doesn't command complicated tactics, and he doesn't play the triangle offense.
The main tactic is the tactic of "Pull away, Falk, pull away for me, I will do it alone".
Said to work alone, but Zhou Hang is not alone, he will pass the ball when his teammates have a good opportunity, which is much more comfortable than the boss Kobe.
Kobe's one-on-two is a normal tactic, one-on-three is a strong shot, one-on-four is okay, and one-on-five is a good chance.
The space quickly dissipated.
Facing Tony Allen, Zhou Hang began to dribble continuously under the crotch.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Zhou Hang's crotch dribble is the best in the league.
Of course, this kind of dribbling needs to be used in conjunction with his subsequent combos, not every player can use it.
Tony Allen's consciousness could keep up with Zhou Hang's rhythm, but his movements couldn't keep up.
As the offensive end, Zhou Hang is more active.
After shaking off Tony Allen's rhythm, Zhou Hang made a sudden step to the right, and then pulled back with a double crotch!
After stepping back with the ball and pulling away from Tony Allen, he made a three-point jumper.
Amidst the cheers and screams of fans at Staples Center.
The basketball draws a gorgeous arc! !
"Shh!"
Basketball goes through the net.
77:100.
After the goal, Zhou Hang shook his head and celebrated with his braces.
Zhou Hang finally understands why Curry likes to celebrate by shaking his head and throwing out his braces. This action is very addictive.
There is a kind of domineering in Zhou Hang's eyes!
He will win the game tonight! !
The Celtics players looked at Zhou Hang's celebration and felt embarrassed, but they couldn't prevent it.
"When I used Zhou Hang's retreat step double-connection on the field field, the teacher was called to step back."
"Hey, this trick can't be used indiscriminately."
"Zhou Hang is invincible in singles with this move."
"The main thing is to be able to stabilize the touch after a series of backward steps. I will also take backward steps, but not so accurate..."
"Since Zhou Hang used the retreat step, many stars have also started to use the retreat step."
"This move is really buggy."
"I love you, Zhou Hang!!"
"Zhou Hang played like a superstar tonight."
"Zhou Hang can be the boss in other teams."
Fans are discussing heatedly.
Zhou Hang's iconic step back was replayed continuously on the big screen and TV.
It's outrageous.
Barkley shouted: "Did Zhou Hang decide to get rid of the Celtics at the beginning of the fourth quarter?"
"Looks like it," Smith yelled. "He's got a sharp step-back and is now hailed as one of the best offensive weapons in the league."
On the court, the Celtics' offense.
House dribbled the ball across half court.
Compared with Rondo, House's organizational skills are much worse, but his ability to attack independently is stronger.
Facing Zhou Hang's crazy press, House panicked.
Fortunately, Percy saw House's panic, and came to help him block the next Zhou Hang, and House passed halftime smoothly.
As soon as House settled at the top of the arc, Zhou Hang's entanglement immediately came up again, and House sent the ball to Pierce on the right.
As soon as Pierce got the ball, Garnett's screen was immediately in place, and Pierce dribbled across the screen.
Ariza tried to get around the screen, but was unsuccessful.
After Pierce stepped in, he didn't meet the ski man's help defense.
The skier's defensive awareness is still weak.
Pierce's emergency stop mid-range.
"Shh!"
Basketball passes through the heart.
79:100.
Zhou Hang went over and patted the skier on the back, signaling that he could step forward and interfere.
The skier nodded.
Pierce's mid-range jumper is also very stable, and it would be too comfortable to let him shoot mid-range.
Lakers offense.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Zhou Hang transferred the ball to Odom who came out to meet him.
Odom gives the ball to Vujacic.
Vujacic dribbles the ball from the baseline to Ariza after a circle.
Ariza dribbled the ball up the line, and Zhou Hang ran out to take over the pass.
Ariza made an off-ball screen for Zhou Hang after handing the ball.
The Celtics' defense changed quickly. At this time, it was House who was defending Zhou Hang.
House's defense is less oppressive than Rondo's.
After Zhou Hang got the ball, he lowered his center of gravity and broke through to the right.
House followed.
Zhou Hang pushed House away with his right chest at high speed.
Now that Zhou Hang has the upper hand in both strength and weight, House was pushed away immediately.
Zhou Hang pays attention to his movements in this ball, and does not expand his cylinder with his upper shoulders.
"boom!"
House lost his balance after being pushed away, and he stumbled and fell to the bottom line.
Zhou Hang, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation to take a step back and pull it beyond the three-point line.
Garnett watched House lose his position and rushed over to interfere.
But Zhou Hang was not afraid of this interference, and shot before Garnett's long wingspan arrived!
It looked like Garnett almost blocked the shot, but there was no chance of the ball being blocked.
If Garnett rushed over desperately, the biggest possibility would be a three-point foul by Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang's three-pointer with a step-back jump shot drew a beautiful arc!
"Shh!"
The basketball goes through the net! !
79:103.
Zhou Hang's consecutive three-pointers helped the Lakers continue to widen the gap.
This is Zhou Hang's eighth three-pointer tonight.
The fans at the Staples Arena continued to cheer, the difference between the two teams was already very, very large.
Kobe and Gasol led the Lakers bench to shout and scream off the court.
Zhou Hang on the field is kicking the Celtics into the abyss.
"Beautiful work!!"
"nice shot!"
"Just fight like this, don't hesitate!!"
"Look at your performance!!"
"MVP!!!"
On the Celtics side, Rivers continued to roar and strengthen the defense.
The Celtics' tactical arrangement has lost its meaning, and now Rivers wants to struggle a little bit, and he also knows that there is little hope.
Celtics attack.
House dribbles hard upcourt and passes the ball to Pierce.
Pierce holds the ball on the right and Ariza defends.
Pierce chose to come over and dribble to the low post on the right.
Ariza faced Pierce very confident top defense.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Pierce's continuous back-to-back hits look for rhythm.
Ariza barely resisted and didn't let Pierce advance.
But Pierce's offensive talent is outstanding. He first turned around with his left foot as the axis, and after attracting Ariza's defense, he quickly turned over to the right and made a fallback jumper!
Pierce's feints aren't pretty, but they're realistic.
The basketball draws a low arc.
"frame!"
"Shh!"
Hit the inside of the rim and fall into the rim.
81:103.
The Celtics still did not give up easily.
