The Godfather of Basketball

After winning their first home win, Green Army fans saw hope and became active again on social media.

"Win another home game and it will be a tie. Boston's tradition is that it will not be easily defeated. I believe this team can do it!"

"Brother Pinyin, who changed the situation, let us use iron-blooded defense to win the game!"

"It is also 0 to 2 behind, let us also complete a 4 to 0 sweep of last year's finals!"

...

There were only two days between Game 4 and Game 3, leaving less time for the Nets to adjust than for the Celtics.

However, Tang Tian and the coaching staff of the Nets still made their adjustments.

Two days later, the fourth game continued at the North Shore Garden Arena.

The Nets removed Anthony and Mitchell, and directly put on a lineup of one big and four small.

In the finals last year, the Nets relied on this lineup to play equally with the Warriors, and this can be regarded as their ultimate lineup.

Tang Tian's display at this time is also a recognition of the strength of the Celtics.

The game started with the cheers of the Celtics fans, but not long after the start of the game, the cheers gradually died down. The Nets brought the Celtics into their own rhythm through a quick offensive and defensive transition. among.

Irving and George's breakthroughs in offensive and defensive transitions weakened Zhou Qi's ability to assist defense, and the Celtics players couldn't keep up with the rhythm on the court.

This is the trade-off. This season, Stevens switched to a small lineup, targeting the Nets' first four and the Warriors' dead five.

When the Nets extended the score to 8-2, Stevens decisively switched back to a small lineup.

As soon as the small lineup came up, Tatum and Hayward each made a three-pointer, and the Celtics approached the score.

But within two minutes of playing, the situation returned to the Blue Nets. Although the Nets were still inaccurate outside, Jokic had a huge advantage over Horford in the interior, and Stevens seemed powerless to attack or pass. .

After all, Horford is not a defensive player like Green. When he is at a disadvantage in height and weight, it is really difficult for him to play against Jokic.

However, because the Blue Nets still couldn't find the touch outside, the two teams finished the first quarter, and the score on the field was 23 to 20. The Blue Nets only led by a slight advantage.

The fans cheered constantly. According to this momentum, the Celtics have great hopes of winning.

As soon as the second quarter came up, both teams were on the pure bench lineup.

For the Nets, Murray, Wade, Kuzma, Anthony and Yi Jianlian.

For the Celtics, Smart, Brown, Morris, Zhou Qi and Baines.

The Nets attacked the frontcourt, and Kuzma and Anthony ran around the pick-and-roll.

In the bumps and bumps, Kuzma went to the outside to receive a pass from Wade, but the three-pointer still jumped out of the basket.

At this moment, Tang Tian, ​​who had been observing all the time, saw the reason why the Nets didn't feel good outside.

This is a very subtle adjustment, and you won't feel it unless you look carefully.

After the game returned to Boston, the Celtics significantly increased physical confrontation.

This kind of physical confrontation is not only aimed at players with the ball, but also when defending without the ball. This is equivalent to consuming the physical strength of the Nets players every minute and every second, making them feel very uncomfortable. There will be a lot of hidden little moves.

The referees are more or less aware of favoring the home team at home, and the Celtics have made good use of this.

Zhou Qi made a three-pointer from the outside, and the Celtics tied the score not long after the opening of this quarter.

At this time Tang Tian stood up and made new tactical gestures to the players, asking them to go down to the basket more.

When Mitchell held the ball in the frontcourt, when signaling Yi Jianlian to play a pick-and-roll, he also signaled Anthony to pull Zhou Qi beyond the three-point line.

With the experience of playing games, the Nets players recognized Zhou Qi's defensive ability.

After pulling away, Mitchell misplaced and rushed to Baynes, and made an emergency stop to the free throw line.

Although Baynes is only 2.08 meters tall, but weighs 118 kilograms, he is a heavy center forward. Compared with Zhou Qi, his flexibility is still a lot worse. Mitchell stopped suddenly and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

"Shua!"

Mitchell's shooting is more stable than last season, and this ball is steadily advancing.

The Nets once again overtook the score.

Smart made a breakthrough in the front court and then gave Zhou Qi the ball. Zhou Qi met Anthony with a three-pointer from outside the three-point line and scored!

This is tall and has a long wingspan, directly ignoring the little melon!

The scene burst into cheers.

Zhou Qi showed his defensive ability in the last game, and this time he directly scored three points. The Celtics definitely won the lottery two years ago!

With this three-pointer, the Celtics once again overtook the score!

Mitchell asked Yi Jianlian for a pick-and-roll in the frontcourt, and Smart was robbing, but Yi Jianlian moved so fast that he was stuck directly, and Mitchell successfully misplaced and faced Baynes.

This time it was a breakthrough in a change of direction, and Baines couldn't keep up with his pace.

But just as Mitchell shot, a figure came over him.

It's Zhou Qi!

He chose to help defend this time.

Zhou Qi has a wingspan of 2.33 meters, which belongs to the top category in the NBA. This long arm can really cover the sky and block out the sun.

However, Mitchell's passing awareness and ability have improved significantly this season. The moment he jumped in the air and saw Zhou Qi, he had already thrown the ball to the bottom corner.

Anthony stood there without moving.

The ball flew straight in, and after catching the ball, he glanced at the frame before shooting.

"Shua!"

Three-pointers also scored!

answerball!

There was a commotion at the scene, and this three-pointer made them think of Anthony's performance of 20+ consecutive games in the first two games of the series.

Smart looked for Zhou Qi again. This time Zhou Qi had no chance to be stared at. The ball finally came to Morris. Morris turned around and hit Kuzma, but turned around and hit Anthony with the ball and was stabbed away.

Mitchell took the ball and pushed directly to counterattack, while Smart chased and defended hard behind him.

Smart's offense is A- or even B-level, but his defense is S-level, which forces Mitchell to have few opportunities.

However, Mitchell saw Kuzma following up in the middle during the fast break, and passed back with a flick of his hand.

Kuzma catches the ball and sees Zhou Qi who is flying over, and then divides to the right wing to follow up with Anthony. Anthony catches the ball and dribbles one step beyond the three-point line to chase him directly.

"Shua!"

There was another crisp sound, Anthony scored consecutive three-pointers, and scored!

The scene was restless.

These two consecutive three-pointers hurt morale a bit!

Stevens also got up and walked to the sidelines, signaling Zhou Qi to pay attention to his defender.

Morris attacked the basket in the frontcourt and took a risk from Yi Jianlian. The Nets played a fast break again. Mitchell rushed to the basket all the way, avoiding Smart's defense and missed the basket, but Anthony who followed up Grabbed the offensive rebound and shook Zhou Qi with a fake shot, then turned around and wiped the board to send the ball in, causing Zhou Qi's thugs!

Stevens directly called a timeout.

During this period, Anthony scored 8 points in a row, helping the Nets to open the score again.

Although the little melon is a bit older, he is still sweet!
