Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 533 Grasping the Lifeline
In another battlefield in the East, the Cavaliers lead the Nets 3:0 and have already won the match point.

After Jim Paxson learned that the Bucks led the Celtics 2:1, his face was slightly surprised.

"Unexpectedly, the Celtics, who are also the Big Three, rank among the top in the strength of the bench, and they will fall behind the Bucks.

I really don't know how they fight! "

The big bald Mike Brown can finally relax and pay attention to things other than the team when the team is already 3:0.

"After all, the Bucks have Zhao Hao, Yao Ming is also the league's number one center forward, and anything can happen when the two play together.

Besides, the Celtics haven't even made the playoffs for so many years, how can they be compared with Zhao Hao? "

Jim Paxson naturally knew how fierce Zhao Hao was in the playoffs, but he still couldn't believe that the Celtics of the Big Three were so easily taken ahead.

As for the Celtics and Bucks, he naturally hopes that the Cavaliers can meet the Celtics in the playoffs.

Without him, it's not that the Bucks are stronger, it's just that Jim Paxson is too afraid of Zhao Hao's hair.

"He's the man who brought the Cavaliers two consecutive championships!"

Battle of the West.

The Lakers lead the Nuggets 2:1.

The Nuggets lineup should not be underestimated, Allen - Iverson, Anthony - Carter, Carmelo - Anthony, Kenyon - Martin and defensive gate Marcus - Camby.

In addition, there are JR Smith and Linas Kleiza on the bench.

So the Lakers have met their opponents.

As everyone said before the start of the playoffs, the league's heroes this season are on the same page. Except for the Cavaliers taking the lead, the gap between the other teams is not that big.

The match between the Spurs and the Mavericks was an abnormally one-sided situation.

The Spurs who got O'Neal are like opening up the two lines of Ren and Du. It won't work if anyone comes. It is impossible for any team to limit the combination of O'Neal and Duncan at the same time.

So far in the playoffs, the Spurs have not lost a game as long as O'Neal plays.

I just don't know why, Popovich has an inexplicable DNP O'Neill from time to time.

No, in the last game, O'Neal was benched for the whole game, and the Mavericks won a victory by luck.

Although the Spurs and Mavericks also scored 2:1, it was the least anticipated round of the series. Everyone knew that the Spurs would win and advance with a high probability.

"The next step is to see who of these three teams can take the lead to get a 3:1 lead. Otherwise, if the opponent moves back to the city and draws a 2:2 tie, it is equivalent to two teams coming back together again. Same starting line."

Pippen said with considerable experience.

It’s just that in his opinion, the Spurs have a high probability of advancing, and the Lakers may have a tough battle with the Nuggets, but the Nuggets are a team with poor defense after all, and can reach the Western Conference semifinals This is all based on their star-studded lineup, so it is not realistic to beat the overall stronger Lakers.

The most elusive is probably the game between the Bucks and the Celtics.

"This is also strange. The Celtics are obviously stronger overall, so why did they lose to the Bucks?" Pippen said with a frown.

Jordan lit a cigar and laughed, "It's one thing to be strong, but another to win.

Ray Allen's determination to win the championship is unquestionable, otherwise he would not be able to become the team's scoring leader while coming to a new team.

There is no doubt that Pierce wants to lead the team to achieve good results. After all, he has led the team to fail to make the playoffs every year. This season is his best season to prove himself.

but!This team lacks a bit of temperament, and no player has better playoff experience. If there is a player who has reached the conference finals and can bring the perfect subversion of temperament to this team, maybe it can make the team feel better. They take it to a higher level. "

And what Jordan also wants to say is that unfortunately the Celtics also met Zhao Hao under such circumstances, a player with significantly more experience in the playoffs.

On May 5, the fourth game in the Eastern Conference.

The Milwaukee fans were extremely excited. The Bucks led 2:1. As long as they win tonight's game, they can successfully have the match point.

Before the game, Rivers solemnly said to countless reporters: "In tonight's game, we will fight the Bucks desperately!"

The reporters all lamented that the Celtics were originally the more promising team before the start of the series. As a result, after these three games, they became a disadvantage.

For a proud Big Three team to say such a thing, the Bucks have already succeeded.

Game start.

The Celtics really had a different attitude when they came up!
The three armies use their lives, all on their bodies.

With a jump ball at the center line, Perkins elbowed Yao Ming abruptly and grabbed the first jump ball in the series.

As for Zhao Hao's elbow warning to him in the first match, Perkins completely ignored it.

Perkins deserves to be respected when faced with the crucial point of either going home in embarrassment or desperately winning the game, at least the attitude of the game is nothing to say.

Su Qun couldn't help but let out a soft sip, even hitting a ball so bloody?
"It seems that tonight's match is destined to be a bloody battle!"

The Long center advanced with the ball. Facing the defense of Ramon Sessions, he played very actively and firmly broke through the basket.

It's just that there is Yao Ming and Yizhu Qingtian on the inside, so simply getting into the inside is not the best solution.

But Rondo's basketball IQ is so high. At the moment of his breakthrough, he not only attracted Yao Ming's help defense, but also forced the Bucks to further shrink their defensive position.

The outside lines are all open!
Ray Allen appeared from beyond the three-point line, and the basketball was passed steadily to him in an instant.

Swish!
Three point shot!

"This is Ray Allen!
Although Zhao Hao is the number one three-pointer made this season with a record-breaking 302, don't forget that Ray Allen is also the second most three-pointer made this season with 285!
Both of them are the top three-point shooting masters in history. "

Switch offense.

Kerr still arranged Zhao Hao's main offensive tactics in the first quarter before the game, but this time, the Celtics starter Rajon Rondo defended Zhao Hao.

However, Ray Allen, who was supposed to be facing Zhao Hao, went to defend Ramon Sessions.

"The Celtics are second to none!
Although Ray Allen is the Celtics' scoring leader on the offensive end, he is the worst starter among the team's starters on the defensive end.

Originally asking him to defend Zhao Hao was an act of asking for trouble, but now Rajon Rondo, the league's second defensive player this season, is simply the best choice. "

Rondo bent over to stand guarding Zhao Hao's upper line, and at the same time set up a left-handed breakthrough trap for Zhao Hao by turning his body sideways.

As the saying goes, an expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move.

Rondo's defensive position is much better than Ray Allen, who only knows close defense.

"You hit me!" Rondo raised his head and yelled at Zhao Hao, intending to interfere with his attack with words.

In order to defend him, he will do everything possible.

It's just that Zhao Hao had already seen the power of mouth output when he met the stepping master Bao Wen with a broken mouth.

There is also Uncle Carter, who distracts you by chatting with you about life every now and then, and then immediately attacks the basket.

Therefore, this trick is completely useless to him.

Zhao Hao attacked with the ball, and used the Butterfly Chuanhuabu and Bergamot dribbles one after another. Director Lang still couldn't keep up, and he didn't completely lose his position.

Zhao Hao found an open shot, habitually took a step back to widen the space, and then shot a jumper.

"Fuck!"

Rondo cursed inwardly, and took a look at the distance between him and Zhao Hao, and found that even with a 213cm wingspan, it would be difficult for him to interfere with Zhao Hao.

While complaining in his heart that Zhao Hao's step back was bigger and more perverted than Pierce, on the other hand he threw himself out without reason.

beep!beep!
The referee blows the whistle.

Rondo's ball directly pushed Zhao Hao to the ground, and the basketball didn't even have time to make a shot.

Yao Ming and Villanueva are not happy anymore, why are you playing the Celtics again? What is the difference between this and that little guy playing dirty?
Perkins: Labor management said, I am not young!

Zhao Hao stood up under Yao Ming's pull, but Rondo was still chattering there.

"You know how to flop if you have a hair in your mouth!"

Zhao Hao also got angry, is this called flopping?I was almost hurt by you throwing my ass, you mean this is called flopping?

He pointed to Rondo and said, "You can try again!"

Rondo was startled, but did not speak.

Ray Allen came over and quickly pulled Rondo away, muttering that this diaper is not to be messed with.

Perkins wanted to rush over to stand up for Rondo, but when he saw Zhao Hao's fierce eyes and then at Zhao Hao's iron elbows, he quickly backed away.

"I still have a headache right now."

The last three referees rushed over, took a look at Zhao Hao, and then quickly pulled the rest of the Celtics away.

The three referees had already guessed that the Celtics would play desperately in this game, but they were a little impressed by Rondo's courage when he dared to provoke Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao really wants to say, Rondo has the guts of a fart, this guy is completely dumb, let alone a conflict with him, even if you pull all the great gods in NBA history to stand in a row, he Dare to spray one by one.

"Fouls outside the three-point line, the ball will be punished three times!"

Swish!
Zhao Hao made the first free throw.

Rondo, who was on the inside line, hated the most in his life when people pointed at him, so he was still chattering about revenge at this time.

"You missed the last two balls, you bastard."

The referee who was serving the ball looked at Rondo speechlessly at the basketball, you guys are smart.

But who didn't know that he was talking to Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at him, I have never lost in trash talk.

"Paul, you can be optimistic, I will make all the last two free throws!"

Rondo: "Paul, your mother Bi, the name of labor is Rajon Rondo!"

Made all three free throws!

The game continues.

The Celtics are afraid of Yao Ming's ability to protect the frame inside, so they focus on the outside. Yao is also frequently taken to the outside by them to bully him and slow his pace.

Since this round of the series, the Bucks have never defended against the Celtics' offense.

Fortunately, the Bucks' offense is also the league's No. [-] this season. The Celtics also failed to defend in the first three games. The two teams are equivalent to fighting each other for offense.

But in this game, after Rajon Rondo started to face Zhao Hao, he frequently used physical contact and fouls to prevent Zhao Hao from attacking, which also restricted the Bucks' offense for a while.

At 26:28 of the first quarter, the Bucks trailed by two points.

里弗斯看着节间统计，赵昊10罚8中，投篮6投3中，拿到了17分2篮板2助攻的数据。

He couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead, even if Rajon Rondo had to defend him, how could he still not be able to defend him!

Rivers knew that the second quarter was too important for the Celtics, so he had to take advantage of Zhao Hao's absence to widen the score.

Rivers looked at Yao Ming who was about to re-enter the stage, his eyes suddenly turned hard and he said: "Baby, I need you to stop Yao Ming from scoring!"

Big baby Davis shook his head pitifully, and said, "No way, coach, I tried it in the last game, but Yao Ming beat me with a 10% hit rate of 10 out of 100 shots!"

Rivers grabbed Davis by the collar and said, "Then you should restrain him even more!

I don't care what method or means you use, you just can't let him score, do you understand! "

Davis was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head in shock and said, "Coach, what do you mean?"

Rivers reached out his hand to signal him not to speak out, but nodded at Yao Ming on the field and said, "Go do it!"

The second game.

Yao Ming held the ball inside, but Cole arranged for him on the outside with the Royal Salute of the Bucks, Yi Jianlian, Ramon Sessions, Charlie Bell and Villanueva.

The Celtics didn't dare to double-team and could only hope that Dabao Yu Davis could single-handedly defend Yao Ming inside.

Yao Ming made a hook with his left hand and a hook with his right hand
The first four goals were all scored!
Barkley shook his head helplessly: "Letting Yao Ming fight like this is different from dying! It seems that the Celtics will lose this game again tonight!"

Reggie Miller was about to nod his head in agreement, when the scene suddenly changed.

Yao Ming turned around with the ball inside and used the ground hook to attack again. The basketball fell steadily into the basket, but when he fell, he stepped on the instep of the big baby Davis, and his knee was pushed by the opponent.

"what!"

Dayao fell to the ground, and the sound of hysterical pain penetrated into everyone's hearts.

This time the foul was fierce!
Yu Jia slapped the table and stood up angrily, "Dayao's ankle has been injured all the year round, and his knee has always had serious problems due to his weight. If he hadn't started to lose weight before this season, he would not be able to do so this season." Impossible to play the whole season!

Your Davis kick is okay, are you going to reimburse him directly for the season! "

Su Qun helplessly shook his head.

In particular, he noticed that Davis's kick was obviously intentional, with an unnecessary forward movement.

"But that's competitive sports, that's the NBA playoffs, and you could say the Celtics are unscrupulous and immoral.

But what good is that! "

Yu Jia said angrily: "That works! All fans will definitely remember the Celtics' dirty tricks.

They're still the Big Three, they're a fart of the Big Three, they only know how to do these dirty tricks! "

Su Qun agreed with this statement.

It's just that apart from the fans who remember, who can remember, the NBA will never have a stepping list and records.

Su Qun, who had seen Yao Ming fall down many times, said with certainty at this time: "Yao Ming can't stand up anymore, he definitely can't stand up, it's always been like this before!"

Yao Ming fell to the ground in unbearable pain, Zhao Hao walked over to take a look, frowning, and then looked at the big baby Davis.

The latter was already slumped on the ground, crying like a child in aggrieved manner.

"I didn't want to hurt him so badly, I didn't think so."

Kenny Smith also heaved a long sigh when he saw this scene, and said: "Although Davis is a big man, his character and appearance are the same, he is a kind child.

I really didn't expect him to deliberately step on and hurt Yao Ming. "

The three referees watched the replay and confirmed Davis' punishment.

First-degree malicious foul!
The Bucks team doctor rushed to the court.

After the intense pain gradually disappeared, Yao Ming also opened his eyes strangely.

"Why do I feel pain for a while and then I'm fine?"

The team doctors hurriedly confirmed the situation. Yao Ming did not have any tissue damage. It was only because he was too heavy and the impact on his body after falling from the top was too great, so it hurt so much.

"It's just luck that you weren't injured by such a big impact."

Zhao Hao heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that the skill triggered by the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir took effect, so Yao Ming was not seriously injured.

However, there is only a chance that he will not be injured, but it is not absolute. If he comes again next time, there is no guarantee that Yao Ming will be reimbursed for the season.

Zhao Hao glanced at the big baby Davis who turned from grief to joy after learning that Yao Ming was not injured.

"It's true that it's not Davis, but it doesn't matter anymore, because you guys completely pissed me off!"

Cole came up to ask Yao Ming if he could continue to fight, Yao stomped his feet and was about to nod that there was no problem, but Zhao Hao suddenly said, "Take a good rest and don't be brave.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, there will be a team that is so strong that we can hardly beat it, and then we will work hard! "

Yao Ming was startled, then nodded with a smile.

It took Kerr a moment to understand the meaning of this sentence, and he said in disbelief: "It's only 2:1, so let's think about the Eastern Conference Finals?
You are bigger than my heart! "

Zhao Hao was replaced again.

It seems that he can't rest in this game.

Of course, the words that made Yao go all out in the Eastern Conference finals are a bit exaggerated, after all, the Celtics are still extremely strong.

It's just that if he didn't say that, Dayao probably wouldn't want to end, so he could only be so arrogant.

"But it's not without reason that I dare to say that, Rajon Rondo, others don't know your shortcomings, but I know it when I got to grandma's house!"

The game resumed.

After seeing Zhao Hao's re-emergence, Rivers also hurriedly made substitutions.

Rajon Rondo, Tony Allen, the Celtics' strongest defensive duo on the outside line up.

The Bucks attacked and Zhao Hao held the ball.

The same Rajon Rondo came to defend, and Tony Allen was ready to double-team at any time.

But at this time, the lineup on the field is still the Royal Salute of the Bucks headed by Yi Jianlian.

Zhao Hao pulled Jane Rondo in singles, this time he did not choose to step back from the outside for three-pointers, but focused on the inside.

Tony Allen shrank his defense and double-teamed Zhao Hao.

"But it can't be stopped!
As long as Zhao Hao breaks through the first step, your Celtics team does not have a big center in the penalty area, so you can only rely on multiple people to rush! "

The Celtics shrunk to 5 players, and Rajon Rondo was smart enough to cut the ball boldly the moment Zhao Hao got up.

It's just that Zhao Hao's offensive level is now, how could it be possible to cut it down!

After he flew up, he didn't fight against the defense, but joined hands with the most trusted Yi Jian in the bottom corner.

Easy to connect hands anti-aircraft guns!

Go in!

"You're really useless, if you have the ability to defend against the five of us and score, then I will convince you!"

Center Lang was still chattering, trying to provoke Zhao Hao.

But Zhao Hao hadn't seen any big scenes before, so he replied with a nonsense, "Who do you think your Celtics team is! You deserve me to fight against the defense?
Take the eleven rings from Bill Russell and see how many champions you have left!
He really considers himself a rich man! "

Rondo: What the hell!

Switch offense.

Rondo starts to hold the ball.

Zhao Hao yelled at Charlie Bell, "Let me guard against the retarded Rondo!"

Rondo glared at Zhao Hao, and Charlie Bell ran away in a panic.

It's just that when center Long came beyond the three-point line, he was stunned by the scene.

Zhao Hao shrank directly to the inside line!

"Nimma, even if you are a center forward on the outside, isn't your defense too exaggerated!"

Charlie Bell submissively wanted to remind Zhao Hao kindly, "Boss, he is a point guard after all."

Zhao Hao nodded and said, "I heard that Chris Paul's three-pointers and mid-range shots have always been accurate. I really want to see it."

Rondo: I want to see it immediately, my name is Rajon Rondo!

Rondo, who refused to admit defeat, tried a three-pointer from the outside.

Duang!

It's hard.

Rondo: .
"Rajon Rondo's 20-point percentage this season is only [-]%, and it's because of his status as a point guard, which many people ignore.

Zhao Hao defended the ball well! "

In the next round, the Celtics continued to attack.

Zhao Hao yelled at Charlie Bell again, "Defend me against Pierce!"

Desmond Mason glanced at Pierce in front of him, "Then who shall I guard against?"

Zhao Hao: "You also defend Pierce."

Pierce:
Rondo didn't dare to shoot anymore, and instead gave the ball to the open Tony Allen.

Tony Allen glanced at the three-point line thousands of miles away, and decisively returned the ball.

"Tony Allen is shooting 25% from [-] this season!

People in the rivers and lakes said that he didn't let others understand offense, but he didn't understand it either. "

Rondo looked at the basketball back in his hand, his expression froze, and he tried another three-pointer unconvinced.

Duang!

Still hit the iron!
"It's over, it's over!

The Celtics' lifeline has been seized by the Bucks, and this series may really be over. "

Kenny Smith also couldn't help sighing, everyone knows that the Celtics' Big Three are strong offensively, and everyone knows that their team is strong defensively.

But it seems that people have forgotten that the two main players in their team are Rajon Rondo and Tony Allen, who are very bad at shooting.

Even if the two can occasionally score one or two shots, it would be fine if they are facing a team that is not very strong offensively, and it will allow the opponent to restrain such extreme defense a little bit.

But the offense of the Bucks is the best in the league!

Even the Cavaliers, Suns and Lakers can't compare. If you miss one or two shots, it may be an instant counterattack for them.

Cole laughed out loud.

At this time, he also saw the huge problem of the Celtics' offense. Zhao Hao, he really kept his promise.

At the beginning of the season, he said that the team's defense was handed over to him, and he really limited the Celtics' offense in such a critical game in the playoffs.

Rivers quickly called a timeout, replaced Tony Allen, and brought Ray Allen up.

But Zhao Hao was still so bold to let Rondo go, Ray Allen and Pierce's offense began to be blocked.

As a last resort, Rivers had no choice but to risk his sword and go slanted forward, put James Posey, who was more capable of shooting, on the field, and let Ray Allen play point guard.

As a result, the Celtics' offense without Rondo is even more troublesome.

Ray Allen ran an excellent open three-pointer opportunity, but the ball was half a beat too late and missed the pass!
Pierce wanted to play singles at the waist, and behind him was a chicken thief secretly ambushing Zhao Hao, and his teammates even dared to pass.

The ball was directly intercepted by Zhao Hao and counterattacked!
Zhao Hao jumped up, and the tortoise's battle ax struck!
The fans in Milwaukee were excited.

Roy Ivey, who was DNP, danced happily on the bench, and Yao Ming even waved a towel to cheer for Zhao Hao.

The Bucks beat the Celtics at 28:18 in a single quarter and couldn't take care of themselves.

"This is the fate of angering Zhao Hao!

Who is wrong for the Celtics to provoke Yao Ming?
Even if you mess with Zhao Hao, it's a big deal, you'll just get beaten up! "

Another big defeat for the Celtics.

110: 90!

"This season's first Big Three team is over!"

Pippen shook his head helplessly.

In fact, it has already appeared in their era. The gathering of superstars does not mean that they are stronger. Only by tacitly matching with each other can they burst out with greater strength.

Jordan hummed softly.

Concealing the fact that his team's bench strength is weak, and at the same time magnifying the weaknesses of the opponent's lineup infinitely, Zhao Hao's experience on the court and basketball IQ can be called top-notch.

"This is a player who is destined to be a championship puzzle by nature!"

The Bucks lead the Celtics 3:1.

The news immediately spread throughout the United States.

"The Big Three Celtics, why did they lose so badly!"

"It's so disappointing! There is no such thing as a top-ranked rotation in the league, but it's beaten like this by the opponent!"

"Their head coach should take the blame and resign!"

"Don't say that, Rivers has always caused a lot of trouble for the opponent in the game against the Bucks, but unfortunately they were all cracked by the opponent one by one."
