The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 215: : Hold on first, Chris

The Big Three suddenly broke out in the second quarter, which was not only expected by Henson, but also unexpected.

From the Celtics' promotion experience in the first round, it is not difficult to see that the Celtics are definitely the kind of team that will not give up the game until the last second. Therefore, Henson specifically reminded his players not to take it lightly. In fact, the Pacers players did a good job.

Horford and Anderson faced Garnett and put him under tremendous pressure. Paul George is very serious about defending Ray Allen or Pierce. Not to mention, Paul restricted Rondo to only 4 points.

But even so, the Big Three are still resurrected. This is why Henson is so angry. He clearly has done his best, but he still cannot contain his opponent. Maybe this is the playoffs. If placed in the regular season, the Celtics would have given up resistance long ago.

But in the playoffs, no one opponent will easily compromise!

"Fuck, that **** bastard!" Paul cursed in the locker room, and the "bastard" in his mouth naturally referred to Celtic point guard Rajon Rondo.

In the first half of the game, Rondo and Paul defended each other very roughly, and the trash talk never stopped.

Of course, if this is the case, it is not enough to make Paul so angry. After all, Paul was not attacked and targeted on the first day.

The reason why he is so angry is because at the end of the first half, Rondo said to him: "In the first half we narrowed the point difference, and in the second half we will win the game!"

We will win the game, this sentence from Ronduo's mouth is undoubtedly very exciting for Paul. No one can win the game in his turf, no one!

"Chris." Seeing Paul so angry, Henson was the first to call his name during the intermission.

The second half of the game between the two sides was as intense as everyone predicted.

Garnett continued his back-to-back performance in the penalty area. Paul Pierce used superb and difficult scoring time after time to tell Danny Green and Leonard that the age of the old man has not passed away. Ray Allen also told the young Pacers with practical actions that there are indeed some guys on this planet who are immune to interference!

The Pacers are still the same. Untiring infinite defense changes, strict man-to-man, decisive fouls when necessary, and-a steady offense led by Chris Paul.

Paul was very calm in the second half, unusually calm. The clever Rondo also found that his trash talk seemed to no longer arouse the anger of the number 3 in front of him.

Paul is no longer obsessed with scoring on top of Rondo's head, but instead uses his broad vision to let his teammates easily penetrate the Celtics' defense.

What is broad vision? Just being able to see teammates and opportunities is not a broad field of vision. Only when they see that they can pass the ball in time, will people admit that this is a player with a broad vision.

But on the ever-changing basketball court, you go through a series of steps from seeing your teammates, thinking about the passing route and then making the pass, and the opportunity is long gone.

Therefore, point guards like Paul actually "see" with their brains instead of using their eyes. According to the opponent's defensive position, own tactical arrangements, etc., to predict whether there will be a teammate in that position at the next moment. This ability to "see" with the brain can be called a broad field of vision.

And in this respect, Paul is terrible!

"Paul is holding the ball outside the three-point line. He has already sent several beautiful passes in the third quarter. Rondo is very helpless because even if he has the speed of light, it is difficult to pass the ball at Paul. Respond instantly. Paul borrowed West’s screen to break through, this time he wants to attack by himself!? No, still pass the ball! The basketball was sent to George, who cut from the bottom line, George made a reverse basket, Pierce Powerless! Haha, nice assists, the Pacers’ offense is too flexible!"

Mike Brin's mouth was spitting words like a machine gun, because those scenes just happened in a flash.

Paul's biography and George's cut are exactly the same, it seems that you can never go wrong.

After George scored, Paul looked at Rondo. Rondo had already "listened respectfully" and was ready to see what **** Paul would say this time, but Paul said nothing and silently retreated.

With such balls, the Pacers scored a lot in the third quarter. Not just George, but almost all players on the field have received the "pie" from Paul.

After the end of the three quarters, Paul's data became 16 points and 12 assists! 12 assists in three quarters, this data is undoubtedly very scary. And you know, although many goals are not from Paul's direct assists, his pass is also very important.

Throughout the third quarter, Paul only shot 3 times and hit two goals. In other words, what Paul did in the entire third quarter was passing!

"Unbelievable statistics. Paul made the game extremely turbulent. With 12 assists in three quarters, how did he see those opportunities!"

Mike Brin was impressed by Paul's performance, but Paul's explosive performance did not make the game into garbage time. After the three quarters, the Celtics are still only 6 points behind. After all, the performance of the Big Three today seems to have returned to the summer of 2008 when they won the championship.

Rivers thought it was incredible that the Celtics still couldn't overtake the score after the Big Three had become like this.

Only Henson knows, fortunately there is Paul!

"As you wish, it's the fourth quarter." Paul exited and walked to Henson for the first time.

"Well, it's the fourth quarter. You did a good job just now, how do you feel now? Tired?" Henson smiled.

"Not tired," Paul shook his head, "I didn't attack much at all, and the defensive pressure from Rondo on the defensive end was not great. So, I didn't consume much energy. I'm not tired, so rest assured that I can do it."

Paul's eyes were firm, remembering what Henson told him during the intermission.

"I know you are in a hurry, but you can't be in a hurry. The Celtics are in good shape today, so this is destined to be a protracted battle. Don't try to solve the enemy by dividing by two. I want you to attack the team. Deal with it steadily, and stabilize the situation without going wrong. If you are in a hurry, we will be thrown away. I know, you want to teach Rondo very much and want to win the game. But in the third quarter anyway. Hold it back for me and put away your impulse! By the fourth quarter, when everyone is tired, you can solve Rondo and Celtics in the way you like. You are a leader, Chris. The responsibility of the leader is to bring the team to victory in the right way."

There is no doubt that it is precisely because of Henson's words at halftime that Paul will now play such a three-quarter 12 assist data. At this time, everything is almost as Henson predicted.

The Celtics attacked fiercely, and the Pacers couldn't easily defeat the opponent. This was a protracted battle destined to fight to the last minute.

Henson was right about everything, which undoubtedly made Paul more trusting in him. So what's next? According to Henson's plan, it's time to take over the game by himself!

"Go Chris, do what you should do. I will let you rest for three minutes first, and then you have to bring you a victory." Henson looked at Paul seriously, then turned to call Stephenson.

"Lance, go on the court and play the first position. If you show your crappy back pass again, I promise I will go up and kick your ass."

Wade once said: "Sometimes you play with Paul and you forget that he is your friend."

Indeed, he can win at all costs, including making small moves to friends. In the Celtics, there is no friend of Paul.

At this point, the game has reached the final 3.4 seconds, just 1 second before Paul Pierce made a beautiful drift shot from the free throw line, making the whole Conseco almost desperate.

102 to 101, the Celtics led by 1 point with Pierce's quasi lore. After the goal, Pierce made a "Thinker" action. At that moment, in Boston, I don't know how many fans have been awake at night because of the collective outbreak of the Big Three.

Garnett had 29 points and 11 rebounds. Ray Allen had 21 points, including 4 three-pointers. Pierce scored 22 points and scored 22 points in a comeback without a sports battle in the first quarter, plus just a quasi lore and a "Thinker" celebration move that was enough to become a career classic.

Mike Brin couldn't help shouting, "He is thinking about the truth!"

Henson used up the last timeout without a hassle. Yes, he left a timeout. Since the Big Three broke out in the second quarter, he was prepared for this!

Therefore, at this time Henson was calm, calm and unhurried. He picked up the tactical board, but frowned slightly. Even though the shouts from the stands behind him had already made the atmosphere uncontrollable, Henson was still calm and composed, as if he were not in the same space as the fans.

He was prepared, tactically prepared, and psychologically prepared. Therefore, he is not in a hurry. He had simulated the scene at this time countless times in his heart, and now he was just executing everything.

At this time, Henson confidently walked to Paul, who had scored 12 points in a single quarter and beat Rondo with a "brown nose".

Paul completely released his strength and anger in the fourth quarter, and it was he who resisted the explosion of the Big Three. And now, Henson also needs him to end all this.

It is impossible for the Big Three to explode collectively in every game, especially after they explode but still lose the game...

"Chris." Like at halftime, Henson called Paul's name first.

"Yeah." Paul did not ask much, and directly agreed.

What can I ask? In the last 3.4 seconds, what else can I ask? dare? Go up if you dare, lose if you dare!

"Your time is up." Henson finished speaking, biting open the cap of the marker.
