Chapter 685 [Obvious weaknesses, mixed defense]

Du Hongyun passed the half, protecting basketball and observing his teammates' running position.

Wang Jun took the ball from the right three-point line and turned around and looked at the right foot. Lei Allen lowered his center of gravity and defended his breakthrough. Wang Jun pulled up and shot.

Lei Allen jumped up to seal his eyes and couldn't cover it. The ball was slightly stronger and the arc was relatively flat, so it popped out of the basket.

The Bulls players did not grab the frontcourt rebounds, quickly returned to defense, and the joint defense was taken off. Wang Jun was in the center and Du Hong was on the side.

In this situation in the last round, Rondo would not pass the ball to Ray Allen. This time he was afraid that the team would be eliminated by the Bulls, so he put down his personal grudges and passed the ball to the side to Ray Allen to fight Du Hong alone.

Lei Allen held the ball and took three threatening positions. After exploring the ball, he broke through the right side, and Du Hong followed. Lei Allen dribbled behind the ball and changed direction to his left hand, but he couldn't get rid of the defense.

Du Hong is only 185cm tall, and his misplaced defense is not as good as Calderon. He is much better at breaking through the defense and defender. He is a good system defender in college.

This year is Du Hong's contract year. He failed to play well in the regular season. After returning from injury, he trained very hard and tried his best when he appeared, hoping to get a better contract in the summer. The temptation of money made him perform better.

After Ray Allen joined the Celtics, he reduced the number of offenses with balls for two consecutive seasons, and his level had dropped. He did not pass Du Hong, nor did he jump shot against others, and chose to pass the ball to Pierce.

The latter leaned against Barnes, turned around and took a step back and jumped. Barnes made a correct judgment, reached out to seal his eyes, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Barnes is not yet a defensive expert, and his ability is above average, and his fighting spirit and single defense awareness are good. Pierce is good at skills. Wang Jun is good at training. The two often practice each other during training. Barnes has seen many tricks in the past two years, so it is not easy to pass him.

Chandler protected the backcourt rebound to Du Hong, not playing fast breaks, and also lowered the pace, which was a change for the Bulls.

Except for Perkins, the Celtics can quickly defend themselves. Garnett is responsible for pick-and-roll and support at high positions. If he doesn't go to the basket, his opponents have no chance to bully the defender even if he has a fast break. He will definitely make up for defense.

Once the positional battle between Lewis has passed half, Garnett has to go with him, and it won’t be possible not to stare at him.

Lewis stood at the bottom line, Chandler was at the low post on the left, and Barnes and Duhon all pulled away from the left.

If you want to join Wang Jun on the periphery, unless Longduo emptys Du Hong to prevent it, it is easy to have empty seats, and the distance is too far.

Wang Jun received the ball and made a 70-degree surface frame. Lei Allen got closer this time. Wang Jun took a breakthrough with his left foot, stepped into the three-point line and leaned against Lei Allen, turning to the right and jumped straight into the jump.

The two were about the same height, so Wang Jun had no use to turn around and take the step back. The straight arm jump shot was faster. Lei Allen failed to cover it and the ball was in. 2 to 0.

The Celtics attacked, and Wang Jun defended Rondo three steps away from the middle. If there was not a three-second zone, he would retreat near the reasonable collision zone to help defend the inside.

Rondo is nicknamed "Longdo not vote" by Chinese fans, and he really doesn't vote no matter how far he goes.

Garnett went to the high position to catch the ball and turned around the face frame. Wang Jun stepped forward and was close to him. Garnett was not easy to take action. He leaned on him and turned around on the right. He was double-teamed by Lewis, and Rondo was released at the bottom line again.

Garnett passed the ball to Rondo, who failed to shoot at the basket without a mid-range shot. Chandler let go of Perkins to make up for defense, and Rondo missed the ball.

Perkins grabbed a rebound on the other side, and Wang Jun retreated to the basket defense. The difference in figure between the two was too big, and Chandler could not turn around quickly. Perkins made a close-range shot. 2-2.

The Bulls attacked, the players pulled away, Wang Jun took the ball from outside the three-point line, leaned against Ray Allen and turned to the right.

He leaned against Ray Allen and took three steps in the horn position, jumped up at the penalty area line 45 degrees, and threw one-handed throw to avoid Perkins' block. Ray Allen was squeezed and didn't jump up.

The ball hit the board and fell into the basket. 4 to 2.

Wang Jun's shooting has always been a strong point. After practicing for three months, he has achieved a certain level of shooting.

He played the same way as Rondo just now. He could grab a frontcourt rebound if he was closer to the basket, as long as he could avoid the block, if he didn't make it into Chandler.

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "Wang Jun's ability to break double teams is getting stronger and stronger. Lei Allen will definitely not be able to defend against him when he fights one-on-one. This is the most advantageous position for the Bulls. The main thing is to attack him."

Yu Jia added: "Whether you can win depends on the Bulls' defense. Today they are on the defensive lineup."

Garnett's pick-and-roll in the middle doesn't work, and Wang Jun's strength is excellent and will not allow him to turn around easily.

Rondo passed the ball to Garnett, who was looking for someone with his back to protect the ball. Ray Allen ran and took the ball and jumped from the right side.

Du Honggai was not there, the opportunity came out, but the ball still missed the basket.

Chandler stuck Perkins, Wang Junkaganette, and Lewis retreated to the basket and easily got a rebound.

The Bulls' regular season is fast-paced and does not mean they have to fight back.

They are different from pure small teams like the Suns and Warriors. Once Chandler comes back, they can slowly grind with their opponents, and the Pistons suffered a lot in the last round of the series.

Perkins went out to cover and was released on the periphery. Pierce broke through and was double-teamed. He passed the ball out, and Rondo was also released on the verge.

The Celtics, who can defend the Cavaliers, scored only 76 points in the game, and their offense is far less powerful than fans imagined. There is no doubt about the strength of the Big Three, but they can't resist two blue-collar workers who can't shoot.

Ilgoskas got a lot of playing time in the last round, but his defense did not become a loophole, let alone Chandler, who had entered the second team of the best defensive team?

It was almost 24 seconds long, Garnett cut the basket at a free throw and received a counter-loop from Rondo. The shot missed under Chandler. Barnes grabbed the backcourt rebound and the Bulls counterattacked.

Skeles emphasized that there is a conditional counterattack, that is, when Garnett hit the bottom line, Perkins was not moving so fast, and the Celtics would not have big men when they retreated.

Du Hong passed it to Wang Jun, who dribbled the ball through the half, leaned against Lei Allen to lead the inside, attracting Pierce to double-team.

He passed the ball to 50 degrees on the right side, and Barnes received the ball at an open space and made a very simple opportunity, but he missed the shot.

This is the price of getting into the blue-collar defensive team. Just like paying taxes, Wang Jun has become accustomed to it. Barnes's offensive strategy has improved, but his skills are still very rough. Wang Jun rushed in and made a layup with the ball.

Ray Allen won the rebound and landed in the position.

Pierce thought of Du Hong asking for the ball on the side, but Du Hong was not stupid enough to stand and ran with Ray Allen. Barnes caught up with Pierce. Perkins covered, and Chandler changed defense again.

The Bulls are mixed defense, not completely standing and not gaze at people, so that they will not cause serious local disadvantages.

Barnes went around the front and added close to the ball, making it difficult for Perkins to catch the ball, slowing down his empty cutting speed. Rondo first gave Garnett, who passed Perkins and Chandler had already returned to the basket.

Perkins passed the ball to Pierce, Wang Jun changed defense again, and Rondo was empty on the outside.

Pierce didn't pass it anymore, knowing it was useless to pass it over.

If the three Celtic giants were not Rondo, the impact would not be too great; if Rondo did not have the three giants, he would be a useless person.

But this guy even regarded himself as a character, as if he was Garnett, the number one, and was so arrogant. No wonder Ray Allen hated him.

The 24-second time was almost exhausted. Pierce forced a step back against Wang Jun and missed the shot under interference. Chandler protected the rebound.

After the opening, the Bulls' defense line was very stable and they fought against the Celtics.
