Chapter 214
Fate is so unpredictable and unexpected sometimes.
In the TD North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, the happy cow who was full of fighting spirit regrettably lost the G1 game.
Su Yi and Rose finally understood how terrifying the Celtics after entering the playoffs was.
The RS team encountered the problem of being entangled in turns. The Celtics had too many players to fight. Before they could study and understand their opponents, the Celtics had already replaced them with new opponents.
This made Su Yi and Rose a little uncomfortable.
This is completely different from the regular season.
It wasn't until this moment that they realized that the Celtics in the regular season were paddling to a certain extent. After all, with decades of experience in the playoffs, they viewed the regular season as a warm-up exercise before a real battle.
Rondo and Tony Allen took turns casting their Death Coil on Rose.
There is no weakness in confrontation and marking.
The Jagged Celtics completely opened their blood-stained fangs in the playoffs.
Pierce and Su Yi were full of gunpowder, and they refused to give in to each other on the court with strong hostility.
Mr. Truth, who became serious, seemed to have returned to the state of ten years ago in an instant, sending the basketball into the basket under Su Yi's desperate defense time and time again.
It wasn't until now that Su Yi realized that the Mr. Truth he had blown up in the regular season was actually just paddling in the regular season.
As for the position of power forward, Taj Gibson is several grades behind Wolf King Garnett. Although Gibson's offensive and defensive attitude is absolutely top-notch, the fact is that he is helpless against Wolf King.
In the whole game, Su Yi struggled to score 31 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds and 1 block. He really did his best, and it can indirectly reflect how difficult the Celtics are today.
Another member of the RS team, Windy Rose Rose, scored 29 points, 5 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal, and also tried his best within his own strength.
The Happy Cows couldn't be happier, and their team only scored a poor 79 points in the whole game.
The gap in the Bulls' roster was on full display in this game.
On the other hand, the generals of the Celtics, Truth Pierce scored 19 points, Coach Long scored 15 points, Wolf King Garnett scored 26 points, Junzi Lei scored 6 points in total on 3 of 16 three-pointers.The four scored a total of 66 points, which can be described as multi-point blooming, and the Bulls' defense was riddled with holes.
In particular, the Bulls are quite uncomfortable with the frequently changing bench lineup of the Celtics. Due to the lack of understanding of the opponent, they make frequent mistakes and always make defensive mistakes.
In the end, the Bulls lost to the powerful Celtics in the East 79:86.
After the game, Su Yi declined all interviews. After following the team back to Chicago with a heavy heart, he headed straight into the training hall.
Super Su felt a fire in his heart, he was unwilling to lose to the Celtics.
However, the reality is cruel. He did lose today's game, and it was when his condition was not bad.
The horror of the playoffs and the full-strength Celtics gave Su Yi a huge blow.
Only now did Super Su understand that the regular season is just a game in the minds of powerful players.If he wants to go further in the playoffs, in addition to strengthening his own strength, he needs to do more.
Not to mention the Bulls' complex adjustments to the psychological fluctuations of losing the game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers led by Little Emperor suppressed the Magic team led by Mr. Warcraft and successfully won the G1 game.
The little emperor, who had won the fruits of victory, checked the results of the Bulls' game immediately after the game.
As a result, as he expected, the young and immature Bulls fell under the iron hooves of the Green Shirts. The little emperor knew best how difficult it was for the Green Shirts to go all out.
With a knowing smile, the little emperor put away his mobile phone, remembering how he looked when he first joined the alliance many years ago, and prayed for Su Yi in his heart: "Brother, you still have a long way to go, this is just a light rain before the rainbow."
Not long after, the G2 game between the Bulls and the Celtics started.
The helpless Bulls were once again abused by the Celtics.
The young Bulls players failed to get rid of the psychological pressure brought about by the previous defeat. In this game, the whole team was crazily hitting the iron, feeling cold to below zero, and their sluggish defensive enthusiasm also dropped a lot.
At the end of the halftime, G2 was behind the Celtics by 25 points.
However, in the second half, the Bulls fought back under the outbreak of the RS combination, playing a 12:4 climax, and Su Yi also gave the opponent 3 caps.
It's a pity that the hole dug before was too big, and even the peak leader Qiao couldn't recover.
In the end, the Bulls lost the G117 game against the Celtics at 121:2.
However, in this game, the RS combination played quite bravely.
Fengcheng Rose scored 43 points. It can be said that she tried her best and shed the last drop of blood.
And Su Yi also scored 35 points, and his condition was not bad.
The two scored 78 points together, which is indeed a significant improvement compared with the previous G1 game.
However, the Celtics entering the playoffs are like a huge magic mountain, which makes them unable to breathe. No matter how hard they work on the court, the objective gap in the lineup is their fatal flaw that cannot be saved.
……
The big score is already 0:2, and the Bulls are getting more and more anxious.
They have fallen into an extremely passive situation in the series. If they lose another game, the Celtics will get the match point of the series.
Although De Nagro had been psychologically prepared in his heart, when such a huge setback really happened in reality, he had no choice but to comfort his beloved players a lot.
This disparity in the background of the team has a lot to do with the size and economic strength of the city, as well as the past record.
Although Joe helped the Bulls to establish their own dynasty.
However, compared with the Celtics who remember the history of the NBA, that is the difference between the rich and the upstarts.
After Joe retired, the Bulls have lost their former glory.
In contrast, the gap between the two teams' lineups is very easy to understand.
If it weren't for Su Yi's strong joining this year, I am afraid that the Bulls would not even be able to enter the playoffs.
The Bulls, who are on the edge of a cliff, have no way out. They can either break out and win the game to restore their decline, or they will be kicked out by the Celtics with their heads shaved.
The venue for this game is still the TD North Shore Garden Arena.
However, what moved Su Yi and Rose was that the Bulls fans still came to the scene to cheer and cheer. With the enthusiastic support of the fans, the RS team gradually recovered some vitality.
They realized that they were not fighting alone, with so many fans behind them supporting them, they had no reason to give up.
Fight, fight, bloody battle!
Su Yi's heart burst out with an unprecedented fighting spirit.
In the live broadcast room of TNT TV station, Barkley had a rare serious face.
"God, the current situation for the Bulls is quite unfavorable. As Super Su, who experienced the cruel nature of the playoffs for the first time, his performance in the past two games is actually remarkable. However, basketball is a game of five players after all. It proves that no matter how well the RS combination plays, the Bulls are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of physical strength, skills and tactics in the face of the wolf pack tactics of the Celtics. Therefore, they want to defeat such a powerful Celtics. In any game, the difficulty is multiplied.” Barkley especially likes this vigorous Bulls team, and also hopes that they can go further, because he just bet the Bulls to win in sports betting .
Kenny Smith's eyes are full of worry: "However, we all know that very few teams led by rookies can reach the level of arm wrestling with a historically rich team like the Celtics. The problems they have to face are too great. Too much. I am really worried about the Bulls and Super Su. Their future must be extremely brilliant. I am afraid that the Celtics will easily win this game. I hope that next season, Su Yi will not be discouraged and make persistent efforts."
He's almost certain the Bulls will be knocked out 4-0.
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was somewhat dignified. Barkley frowned, but he was thinking in his heart: "Super Su, if you let me lose that 1 dollars, I will definitely hack you to death in the next game, hmph!"
……
Everyone knows that the Bulls have no way out.
And until the start of the G3 game, De Nagro did not come up with a solution to the Celtics' defensive problems.
The Bulls walked onto the court in a sluggish state with distress in their hearts.
Boston fans, on the other hand, cheered hard for their team.
In the past few days, they felt extremely comfortable.
The Chicago Bulls, who beat Boston many times in the regular season, were rubbed against the ground by their favorite team twice in a row in the playoffs.
Nothing could have relieved and cheered up Bostonians more than this.
Today, the Celtics have a 2-0 lead, and in the minds of Boston fans, there is not much suspense left.
The opening jump ball was successfully caught in front of Su Yi by Noah who was fighting hard.
Su Yi could feel that his teammates, who had been pushed into a desperate situation, were already trying their best.
However, under the iron-blooded defense of the Celtics, Hinrich's outside three-pointer was seriously disturbed, and the ball that popped up after hitting the iron was also taken off by the Wolf King. The Bulls' first attack was still easily disintegrated by the Celtics.
In the following rounds, the Celtics played the offense vigorously, while the Bulls, on the other hand, seemed to be struggling in a swamp.
In the end, the Bulls ended the first quarter with an 17-point gap at 25:8.
The sluggish Super Su only scored 1 point and 1 rebound in a single quarter, while Rose, who was also confused, scored 3 points in a single quarter.The sophistication of the Celtics has thoroughly studied the Bulls, using the characteristics of their large number of generals to kill the RS combination.
However, the brave Noah miraculously scored 8 points at the basket, and was rewarded by De Nagro during the break at the end of the quarter.
Generally speaking, the defense of the Celtics is stronger and stronger today. Not only is it more targeted, but it also adopts a moderate 2-3 zone defense tactic, which makes the RS combination, which mainly creates shooting opportunities with breakthroughs, very uncomfortable.
The Celtics are sure of the Bulls' offensive singles routine.
As long as Su Yi's personal bravery is strangled, the Bulls will become an ordinary strong team, unable to compete with Boston.
Judging from the results, the tactics of the Celtics were very good. The RS combination in the first quarter was completely watched to death, and it was no longer as brave as in the regular season.
The previous two lost games seemed to be staged again, Su Yi sat on the bench with a towel covering his head.
He was thinking about ways to break through the tight defense of the Celtics.
He must win this game, otherwise the other teammates on the team will no longer have the fighting spirit to wrestle with the Hulk in the next game.
……
"You are heroes in Boston, I love you!"
"Truth, beat him up, Super Su is a parallel importer."
"Londo, let that Windy City idiot know how powerful you are, and blow him up!"
The Boston fans were emotional, and they rejoiced at the grand occasion of the Celtics brutalizing the Bulls.
On the sidelines, Denagro sat silently on the bench, took a tactical board and wrote a few words, but he still couldn't think of a way to crack it.
The Bulls' style of play was completely restrained by the Celtics. The team's core stars Su Yi and Rose were completely guarded to death, and even the offensive and defensive rhythm of the entire Bulls had problems.
This was unexpected before the game, and their problem was so big.
The results of the regular season made the Bulls think that they have reached the level that can hit the finals.
However, from the depth of the bench, to the variability of players' play styles, and the development of tactics, the Hulk taught the young Bulls a vivid practical lesson with actual pain.
Su Yi, who was standing on the court floor, discovered a problem.
The tactics that the Celtics rely on to limit themselves are actually joint defense.
Under the zone defense, no matter how he breaks through or singles, there will be strong players who will interfere or double-team in time. With good tactical cooperation, Su Yi's fangs were completely pulled out.
However, Su Yi, who has been immersed in the basketball world for many years, naturally knows how to break the zone defense, and can even create an advantage in the local area.
The principle is also simple. The principle of zone defense is to fix the activity area of each player, and then ensure that all places in the half are responsible for defense, preventing the opponent from getting open opportunities.
However, there are corresponding disadvantages.
For example, a player on the left side of the half would never run to the right to defend.
Therefore, this is where the opportunity to break the zone defense lies.
For example, if four players run to one side of the court with the ball, it will result in a situation of overplaying and underplaying.
However, the personal strength of the Celtics players is too strong, even if they play more or less, it may not be able to improve the power of offense.
However, if you want to break the zone defense, especially the 2-3 zone defense that strictly guards the inside line like the Celtics, there is another way to perfectly blow up the opponent.
And this is a long three-point shot from the outside!
The reason why few teams in the NBA have always insisted on the defensive tactics of zone defense is very simple. No matter what zone defense is adopted, players are limited by the field, so the outside marking is definitely not enough.
Su Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
He remembered the time at Davidson College.
At that time, he and Mengshen didn't know too many offensive skills, but with their natural long-range shooting touch, they still won the championship of March Madness.
The haze and confusion in his heart were completely lifted, and Su Yi regained his confidence. Looking at Rose who was dribbling the ball steadily, he walked up to him and whispered in his ear.
"Man, pass me the ball every chance you get. We kill the game with threes."
