Chapter 210 The second round begins!
After Wu Sheng received the ball, he did not directly attack Battier.

In the playoffs, although there are more one-on-ones with the ball, it is also necessary to run tactics.

The Pacers' tactics are basically pick-and-roll and screens, without too many complicated tactics.

After O'Neal Jr. helped Wu Sheng with a high-post pick-and-roll, Wu Sheng broke through directly with the ball.

Wu Sheng accelerated into the penalty area and chose to layup facing O'Neal.

not good!

The Martial Saint suddenly found himself shrouded in a shadow. He was in such a situation.

He's experienced it more than once during the regular season.

he knows!
The Celtics' strongest man is here!

Wu Sheng subconsciously stopped the layup in mid-air and grabbed the basketball with his right hand to protect his chest.

He knew very well that if he continued to layup, he would most likely be blocked.

Therefore, the attack was briefly interrupted.

"Stephen, you can't get away!"

The next moment, Lin Yu's voice rang out.

Under the incredulous eyes of Wu Sheng, Lin Yu grabbed the basketball with one of his big hands.

Bang! Lin Yu took advantage of his strength and stole the ball in mid-air!

The fans at NDTV Garden had forgotten to cheer at this moment.

His eyes were dull and he looked towards the center of the court in disbelief!
Not to mention the fans at the scene, even Coach Zhang who was commentating was stunned.

There was doubt in his voice: "Is this a block or a steal by Dayu!?"

The Dragon Country fans in front of the TV were shocked and amused when they heard Coach Zhang's words.

"Dayu is awesome! He made a steal in mid-air!"

"I used to think flying in the sky to play ball was bragging, until I met Dayu!"

"What the hell! What the hell! I don't know what to say now except what the hell!"

"..."

When the cardinal on the sidelines saw this scene, his eyes were filled with shock.

Although he had seen countless talented players, this steal in mid-air was still very, outrageous!
"Lin Yu's talent is so outrageous no matter how many times I see it!"

Pacers head coach Carlisle suddenly understood.

Why did the shark say Lin Yu was an alien!
Complete a steal in mid-air, is this something that humans on Earth can do! ?
on the field.

Lin Yu didn't care about everyone's shock. After successfully stealing the ball, he started a fast break.

As a traditional center, Jamal Magloire naturally cannot keep up with Lin Yu's speed.

But O'Neal Jr., Wu Sheng and others were still able to keep up.

O'Neal Jr. was in a high position at this time, closer to the basket than Lin Yu, and returned to the Pacers' restricted area early.

The two met under the basket.

bump!
Without any fancy moves, Lin Yu simply relied on his physical strength.

Lin Yu now understands why both Shark and James like to attack the body.

Because it is really simple and convenient.

95% of your opponents can be dealt with by just relying on your body, and the remaining 5% can be dealt with by relying on technology.

O'Neal Jr. only felt a huge force coming from his chest, and his body couldn't help but retreat.

As a result of O'Neal's retreat, he lost his position under the basket.

Bang!

Lin Yu succeeded in the dunk, and the entire North Shore Garden was instantly filled with cheers!
After landing, Lin Yu high-fived Pierce and others to celebrate, and then began to retreat.

O'Neal Jr. looked at Lin Yu who was retreating and rubbed his chest.

"Why didn't I feel that Lin Yu's power was so great before!?"

But O'Neal didn't have time to think too much, because the Pacers had already started to attack. "The Pacers started to attack, Stephen Jackson singled out Battier, and he shot from beyond the three-point line!"

"Battier's defense was great. He covered Stephen Jackson's eyes the moment he shot, preventing him from seeing the basket clearly. He could only rely on muscle memory."

"Stephen Jackson missed the shot! Okur grabbed the rebound and the Celtics started to fight back.

"Pierce cut into the restricted area, and Artest directly pulled Pierce down!"

As Coach Zhang's voice sounded, the game became increasingly intense.

The Pacers themselves are not a good team, and after the playoffs, the standards for penalties were lowered.

Elbows and kicks were really flying everywhere, and collisions and pulling of jerseys happened in every round.

It is also normal to knock down the opponent's layup.

And the referee didn't call a foul!
From this we can see how lenient the penalty standards were in this game.

Fighting with the ball is the most appropriate description of this game!
"Stephen Jackson missed the shot again in the face of Battier's blinding defense!"

"Dayu helps Pierce create offensive space, and Pierce is ready to back Artest."

"Pierce missed the post-up shot against Artest. If Pierce is unsure, he should pass it to Dayu."

"Artest is also the best defensive player. It's really hard to play against him."

"Artest broke through and tried to make a layup, but Okur knocked Artest out. I have to say, the two teams in the playoffs really fought hard!"

While Coach Zhang was expressing his feelings, Artest had already walked to the free throw line.

Bang!

Artest missed the first free throw.

Artest's career playoff free throw percentage is only 71.4%.

It's normal to miss a penalty occasionally.

call!
Artest's breathing became rapid, although he had expected it to be a tough battle.

But the cruelty of the game still made Artest secretly frightened.

At this time, there were 5 minutes and 24 seconds left until the end of the first half, and his physical energy had been greatly consumed.

Indiana.

Bird, who was watching TV, was secretly shocked at this moment.

With Artest's second free throw, the score between the two sides was now Celtics leading the Pacers by 32 points 28:4.

From the score, we can see how fierce this defensive battle was!
"It was a meat grinder game, but that's who the Celtics are, tough and iron-blooded."

"Just like when I was there, this Celtics team is destined to be a difficult team to beat!"

The game on the field continues.

Lin Yu received the ball in the low post and directly back-passed Jamal Magloire.

bump!
Jamal Magloire just felt as if he was facing a giant beast!
The huge force in his chest made him unable to help but keep retreating.

bump!
With the second collision sound, Jamal Magloire's body retreated again.

This time, Lin Yu pushed the ball directly out of the basket!
Bang!

Lin Yu made a one-handed dunk, and the entire North Shore Garden was instantly filled with cheers!
The cardinal on the sidelines nodded and began to comment on Ainge.

“Although the Pacers are good, they really lack the ability to attack at critical moments.

"For inside players, post-ups are a must."

"For outside players, pull-up jump shots are also a must."

"Larry and Rick should understand this. I don't know how they train their players. They are really incompetent!"

Chris Carlisle is the current head coach of the Pacers.

To be precise, he is also a player sent out by the Celtics.

Carlisle was selected by the Celtics in 1984 and won the championship with the team in 1986.

Although Carlisle was a role player at the time, the red-shirted protagonist also knew Carlisle.
