Chapter 377 Crow's Mouth

After the Celtics made substitution adjustments, the leading Pacers were still played by the main players. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but they didn’t dare. For them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat the defending champions. Make any changes, so that this opportunity disappears.

After Shi Lei took control of the ball, Danny Granger, who was facing him, immediately rushed to the defensive position.

Although Granger is also the core figure on both offense and defense of the Pacers, he is far less important to this team than James, and the current Pacers are not based on defense.

Danny Granger is an excellent defensive player, with a keen sense of defense, accurate footstep judgment, single defense and assist defense capabilities are above the league level, but for Shi Lei, Granger's defensive strength is far from to the point of bothering him.At least in terms of strength, Shi Lei has the ability to break through his defense at any time.

However, Shi Lei didn't launch an attack right away. After Granger's defense was in place, he was still directing his teammates to make tactical moves.

Under Shi Lei's command, the Celtics' tactics began to work.Rondo and Ray Allen interspersed back and forth on the outside, and Garnett and Perkins also withdrew from the basket area, creating space for Shi Lei to play singles.

"Very good. Shi Lei was not in a hurry to launch an offense after he came on the court. He first worked hard to control the team's offensive rhythm. It is obvious that the Celtics' chaotic offense just now began to become reasonable. This is a qualified team." The on-site commander should have the role, Shi Lei has done a very good job in this aspect!"

During Director Zhang's commentary, the live broadcast shot showed a close-up of Shi Lei's face.It was a very calm face, even a little stiff, but at this time, the overly calm words had the ability to calm down the Celtic supporters.

The cheers of the Pacers supporters in the arena were also lowered. In the midst of the storm, the most reassuring thing was never a warrior who braved the wind and waves, but a rock that could stand still!Pacers fans felt such power, and he was unmoved in the slightest, as if those violent offensives launched by the Pacers before would not have the slightest impact on what he pursued!
"He has the calmness of Duncan, but the passion of Garnett!"

At this time in the Conseco Arena, Miller, who was still very arrogant, frowned slightly.

"Celtic's number one looks very composed!"

However, Barry's exclamation still failed to make Miller take back what he had just said.Arrogance has become Miller's trademark and his habit: "So what? Danny and the others will use their actions to tell their opponents that they don't want to leave here with a victory today!"

But Shi Lei never thought that he would fail, at any time, otherwise the "sacrifice" he made this summer would be in vain!

Shi Lei, who was determined to command, suddenly passed the basketball across to Ray Allen, and then moved in the opposite direction to throw off Granger's defense.

Ray Allen has already thrown off his defender Daniels at this time. This is a powerful defensive player with a strong physique, quick movement, and a high basketball IQ, but Ray Allen is one of the few players in the NBA. The most powerful outside marksman who is proficient in running off the ball.

Granger could only give up chasing Shi Lei, but in the fleeting time, he and Daniels did not reach a tacit agreement to switch defenses, and Daniels also moved here at the same time.

Ray Allen repassed the basketball to Shi Lei when the Pacers' defense against Shi Lei was in place.

With such a good timing to attack, Shi Lei took a big step while receiving the ball, stepping into the Pacers' free throw line.

Pacers power forward Troy. Murphy immediately left his defense of Garnett.Many experiences have told people not to let James and Shi Lei enter the paint!
With a ground pass, Shi Lei passed the basketball to Garnett on the inside when he was approaching Murphy.

"Very nice pass after the drive, Garnett. Oops, it's a pity!"

Director Zhang sighed here, and Garnett looked at the basketball that missed the basket in disbelief.

"Hey man, looks like God the old man might have overheard our conversation in the locker room not long ago!"

Looking at the stunned Garnett, Shi Lei teasingly spread his hands and said to him.

"It's just an accident. Do you know the accident?"

Garnett expressed dissatisfaction, followed closely behind Shi Lei and chattered to him endlessly.

This is the case on the basketball court. If you pay too much attention to the sudden disappearance of the touch, the result may be even worse.Shi Lei's ridicule, and Garnett gave up on this entanglement.

"Look, I just said that he is not a savior!"

The Celtics' missed attack made Miller, who was concerned about the Pacers' defense this time, heaved a sigh of relief.

But is this the role of the Pacers' defense?Old Barry is not as optimistic as he: "Let's see the boys' offense."

Old Barry still has great doubts about the outcome of this game, especially after Shi Lei, whose defense has been "deified" because of the finals, played.

The Pacers are a shooting-oriented offensive team. Facing such an opponent, it becomes very important not to allow them to get comfortable shooting space.

When defending this time, Shi Lei didn't immediately stick to his defender.

Daniels, who is the best at breaking through in the Pacers team, got a temporary vacancy in this way, but his three-point ability, which is still criticized now, allows him to dribble in and continue to push forward after receiving the ball!
This is exactly Shi Lei's purpose, he just wants to force the Pacers to break through.If they focus their defense on the outside of the three-point line, although this can effectively curb their outside offense, but inside, the Pacers' inside will get enough room to move, whether it is Murphy or Hibbert Has a very good shot.

But Daniels is a swingman who can play as a point guard, and he can pass the ball quite well.After breaking through, before Shi Lei's defense came up, he passed the basketball with his left hand to Murphy who was at the free throw line in the bottom corner.

The personnel configuration is different, and the same set of tactics, offensive or defensive strategies will definitely change accordingly. After Shi Lei came on the court, Garnett, who had a wide defensive range, narrowed his defensive range, so although Murphy received the basketball, he did not. Didn't get a good shot.

Murphy's shot was interfered by Garnett and popped out of the basket. Hibbert got the ball, but he fell from mid-air and got caught in the double-team of Perkins and Shi Lei!
