From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 256 Owen: Crazy?Take me one! !

In the second quarter of the game, Jiang Hu, who played the whole quarter, rested off the court, and Irving was responsible for leading the team.

When Irving leads the team, he usually plays by himself.

Without any hesitation, Irving and Jaylen Brown played a hand-off in the first round and forced the start. He jumped to the basket in two steps and scored a quick layup.

Warriors 32-29 Celtics.

The Warriors attacked, and Curry also rested. The players leading the team were Durant and Thompson. Durant broke through on the left and suddenly jumped up and passed the ball to Green, who was cutting in the middle. Jaylen Brown was squeezed by the latter and could not jump up. He took the ball one step to the basket and scored a backhand layup.

Warriors 34-29 Celtics.

In the Celtics position battle, Irving passed the ball to Horford without dribbling past half court. Horford dribbled the ball past half court, and Irving started a pick-and-roll with him just after half court.

Irving dribbled the ball to the right to get rid of Thompson, and shot a three-pointer from one meter outside the 70-degree three-point line.

This kind of ball is the most troublesome for opponents. Rooney retreated to the free throw line.He is 210cm tall and weighs 113kg. Although he is flexible for a center, he is still not good at guarding the pick-and-roll of small players like Irving.

Irving's shot was quick and steady, and he hit!
Warriors 34-32 Celtics
Owen clenched his fists and roared angrily, quickly returning to defense.

On the defensive end, he also began to direct his teammates to defend, asking them to guard against three-pointers from the outside.The Celtics' strategy is to try to allow their opponents to make mid-range shots and strictly guard against shots from the penalty area and outside. The Warriors are strong in combining inside and outside. They have a group of three-point shooters, which attracts outside defense and creates a lot of air-cutting opportunities.

In the past few games, the reason why the Warriors' offense has not been smooth has a lot to do with the fact that the Celtics have greatly restricted their air cuts.

The Celtics' specific defensive tactics are man-to-man, not zone defense, in order to better facilitate fast breaks.

However, Durant was very fast, and with a sharp change of direction, he passed Jaylen Brown and entered the penalty area for a layup.

Warriors 36-32 Celtics.

When the Celtics attacked, Rochiel made a mistake and was double-teamed by Green just after halftime for a steal. The latter made a fast break layup alone.

Warriors 38-32 Celtics.

The Celtics fans at the scene and in front of the TV were all sweating for the Celtics. The situation just ended, except for Irving who played two good goals, everyone else seemed to be in average condition?
Irving relied on a screen to catch the ball outside the three-point line on the right side. This was the weak side. There were no flankers to double-team, and Rooney did not help defend. Irving took the ball and feinted, quickly changed direction to the middle, and headed towards the three-point line. A sudden stop and a mid-range shot from the previous point.

Taking action in this position is unwise for others, but it is very familiar to him. As a die-hard fan of Kobe, although he rarely takes action in this position, he has always practiced in this position a lot. , and it is difficult for the opponent to help defend and block shots in this position.

The ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net!

Warriors 38-34 Celtics.

Yu Jia shouted: "Beautiful, Irving scored another one. He fully demonstrated his super personal ability at the beginning of the second quarter, scoring 7 points in a row."

Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "I hope he can keep it up. His current state is a little bit like the one when he won a quadruple-double."

The Warriors attacked. After Durant and Nick Young played a pick-and-roll, they received a pass from Nick Young in the middle and hit a jumper from a little further ahead of the free throw line.

Everyone thought Nick Young would not pass this ball, but he passed it, and no one reacted for a while, giving Durant an almost open opportunity. Durant naturally would not miss such an opportunity. He raised the knife and dropped it without any mercy.

Warriors 40 to 34 Celtics.

The Celtics attacked. Irving received the ball from the outside and was double-teamed by players on the wings. He passed the ball to Rochiel. Rochiel, who had made mistakes in the previous rounds, made up for it and made a three-point jumper from the open space in the middle. He hit it steadily. .

Warriors 40 to 36 Celtics.

Rocher's three-pointers are also ridiculously accurate. He averaged 3.6 goals in 1.7 shots per game in the playoffs this season, and his three-point shooting rate is as high as 45%. Not only can he dribble against the defense and shoot, as long as he has an easy shot, Opportunities, his accurate shooting will be more useful in tactics.

In the future, after Rocher went to the Hornets, he scored around 20 points for four consecutive seasons, and his scoring ability is definitely not bad.

The Warriors attacked, and Green passed the ball to Rooney who was pulled to the left perimeter. The latter had a height advantage over Horford and passed the ball over his head to Durant who ran to the free throw line.

Durant caught the ball and made a jump shot, making a steady hit under the interference of Jaylen Brown.

Warriors 42 to 36 Celtics.

The Celtics attacked. After Irving passed the ball, he stood on the left baseline and quickly ran to the right. Morris Jr. blocked the defender.Irving ran to the right corner and received a pass from Rochiel. There were only two of them on the right side, and the formation was very wide.

Rooney did not rush out from the inside to help defend Irving, and his teammates were a step slower in pursuit. Jianghu caught the ball and made another three-pointer.

Warriors 42 to 39 Celtics.

Not long after the start of the second quarter, Coach Cole on the sidelines felt his head was as big as a bucket. Jianghu's touch at the beginning was not bad. At that time, everyone else's touch was average. Cole felt that they had a big advantage in today's game. Opportunity can win the victory. It feels like the second quarter is the time when they opened up the point difference. But you told me that Irving broke out again? ?

Zhang Weiping shouted: "Good guy, another one. After Jianghu went to rest in the first quarter, Irving made all four shots in the second quarter and scored 10 points. Today the Gemini stars are going to explode together."

Yu Jia said: "Irving's game is very simple. If the opponent doesn't double-team him, he will fight by himself. If the opponent double-teams him, he can pass the ball to Rochier, and the offense on the field will not stagnate at all."

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Actually, after Jiang Hu and Irving joined the Celtics, the team's overall offensive routine became very clear. Compared with last season, the overall shooting percentage has increased significantly. Today Jiang Hu and Irving look quite good." What do you mean by OK group?"

The Warriors completed an attack. Thompson ran to catch the ball without the ball and missed a three-point jump shot from the left side of the center. Irving's interference played a role.

Horford and Morris immediately blocked the opponent, making it difficult for the opponent to take off and get close to the basket. Irving retreated and jumped high, grabbing the backcourt rebound with one hand in a tomahawk style.

The fans at the scene also gave Irving warm applause. Not only did he score consecutively, but he even grabbed rebounds with picturesque postures, as powerful as splitting the Huashan Mountain.

This posture was specially practiced by him. Although it comes from Westbrook, it is more handsome when used. For him, being handsome is a lifelong matter. He likes the titles of Court Elf and Uncle Drew given to him by others. It is very chic and unlike a certain person. Some players are called orangutans...

Yes, he doesn't like the nickname of the Knicks star.

After observing the situation on the court, Irving did not launch a fast break. He passed the ball steadily across the half court to Rochiel, while he ran without the ball to pull the formation.

Except for Rooney, all the Warriors players can quickly return to defense and have good mobility.Whether a woman is playing hard by herself or passing the ball to a teammate, she will always take action under interference.Moreover, if the Celtics miss a shot, they will easily be counterattacked by their opponents, and the rhythm will be messed up. It is better to stay in position and create one-on-one opportunities.

In positional battles, teammates know more about what they should do, which will reduce mistakes. If the Celtics want to play fast break, they have to wait until Jianghu. When Jianghu is not on the court, try to stabilize. The first thing is not to be widened. The second consideration is The offense widened the gap.This is the experience gained by the Celtics in the past few games. When Jiang Hu is on the court, it is time for fast break. When Jiang Hu is not on the court, others should focus on the defensive end and let Irving control the offensive end.

Irving ran from the left to the right, received the ball from the baseline, feinted to the left, and passed Thompson who was chasing him in one step.Green rushed up from the side to block the shot, but Irving made an emergency stop and feinted, passing the ball to Rochier, who was 70 degrees on the right and outside the three-point line.

Rochier was unguarded and knew it was safe as soon as he caught the ball. Irving's shot was just the right time!
He easily hit a three-pointer and then made a flying fighter gesture, which once again aroused wild cheers from the home fans.

Warriors 42-42 Celtics.

Zhang Weiping shouted: "Good shot! This is how Jiang Hu should play when he is not on the court. Pass the ball more. If there is a good opportunity, you must make it!"

Yu Jia said: "My teammates didn't feel good in the first quarter. Fortunately, Jianghu helped them hold on. Now that my teammates feel better, it's time to give back to Jianghu."

Jiang Hu was sitting on the sidelines, cheering crazily for Rochier and Irving. These two guys played really well in the second quarter and had not missed a single shot.

Coach Kerr hesitated for a while, but in the end did not have the idea of ​​calling a timeout. He was very confident in the players and believed that as long as they were away, the Warriors could defeat the Celtics by relying on offense.

He does have the confidence. If you put Jiang Hu and Curry aside, the depth of the remaining lineup of the Warriors is obviously better than that of the Celtics.

as predicted.

Green screened his teammates and then cut through the air. He received the pass in the middle and leaned on Morris to get into the basket. He feinted and shook Morris up. He yelled "Mine" and then bumped into him and took a shot.

The basketball stumbled and hit the rim several times before rolling in. At the same time, the referee whistled for a foul on Morris.

"Fake!!"

After scoring the goal, Green was very excited, pouting and roaring, and then beating his chest crazily. Those who didn't know thought it was a black donkey in heat.

Green also scored a free throw, the Warriors 45 to 42 Celtics.

When the Celtics attack, Irving plays with the ball.

This time he got the ball and no one came up to double-team him on the outside, so he got a singles opportunity on the right side.

He opened his crotch and dribbled to his right hand, changed direction to the left and moved laterally. After attracting Thompson to move laterally, he dribbled the ball behind his left hand to his right hand and changed direction to the baseline to successfully break through.

He pulled the ball to the basket in one step, attracted Green's defense, jumped to the baseline, and passed the ball from Green's side to the left. Morris received the ball comfortably under the basket and easily scored on the board.

Warriors 45-44 Celtics.

Morris Jr. is also a vengeful man. He was as loud as Green's arrogance when he scored a goal. He punched the basketball stand and then roared directly in Green's direction, staring at him.

"Hey Nico, what are you doing??"

Green was unhappy and rushed over to Morris and started talking trash.

"None of your fucking business, bitch!!"

Little Morris was not polite, he just yelled at Green without caring whether he could bear it or not.

Greenwood's dark face turned red with anger from Morris, but he didn't dare to get angry, because he knew that as long as he was suspended, the Warriors' season would be over, so he only dared to curse "Bitch" and then Walked away angrily.

The Warriors attacked, and Thompson relied on a screen run to receive a pass from Green who was supporting him in the high post. He got rid of Jaylen Brown and hit a three-point jumper before others could help defend.

Warriors 48-45 Celtics.

Celtics fans watch the game, praying that the Warriors can't make every shot, but the opponent's scoring efficiency is equally amazing. After all, even without Curry, with Durant and Green Thompson, this is a team that can break out of the Western Conference. Strong team.

The Celtics attacked, and Irving once again ran without the ball. He ran up the right corner and relied on Morris Jr. to cover and get rid of the ball.

This time Saluni came out to help defend.

The Warriors players all realize that they can't do it without help. If Irving doesn't help with defense, Irving will be furious. If Irving is allowed to get crazy in this game, coupled with Jianghu, then he will really have to watch the Celtics win the cup.

However, Irving doesn't just score by himself. After receiving the ball, he immediately changed direction to the center without making any fake moves, took a small step towards Green's right foot, then took a big step to the left while pulling the ball and jumping to the basket. .

He completely left Green and Thompson behind. Before power forward Rooney came up to defend, he jumped high with both feet. With his arms rounded, he dunked the ball in with his right hand!
Warriors 48-47 Celtics.

Irving roared towards the audience, and the audience cheered and cheered. They came just to watch the star perform.

Zhang Weiping shouted: "This is incredible. Irving scored 12 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists at the beginning of the second quarter. When Jiang Hu was not around, he almost beat the entire Warriors team by himself. It was so awesome, good guy." !!!”

Yu Jia said: "Yes, Kyrie Irving used his actions to explain what a superstar should do. He really single-handedly suppressed a top team like the Warriors."

Irving's continuous offensive success also allowed fans and commentators to see his power again.

After all, Irving is still a superstar.

Seeing that the team had the advantage, he relaxed a little while sitting on the sidelines. He interacted with Sophia on the sidelines and discussed the evening's program.

Sophia's mouth opened into an O shape, and Jiang Hu looked at it with wild imagination.

Coach Cole requested a timeout. The team's defense failed very badly and needed to be adjusted.

When the game was paused, Irving walked off the court arrogantly.

Jiang Hu quickly stood up and high-fived Irving like a humble licking dog: "Kyrie, as expected of you, you did a great job, just hit him like this."

It was too tiring to lead the team by myself in the first quarter, and Jianghu also hopes to see Irving perform like this and stand up to help him share the pressure.
