Chapter 468: Three points of rain

Perhaps it was the voices from Pierce during the break that finally made the Celtic players show some signs of awakening. Their offense is no longer passive. The 27-point difference is terrible, but if you can lose less, you should lose less!

Irving got rid of the defense and hit a difficult three-pointer outside the three-point line as soon as he came in the second half! This three-pointer was very beautiful and completely a reflection of his personal ability. Oladipo's defense was completely ignored by him.

Chasing points, the Celtics' top priority in this game is to catch points back. During the midfield retirement ceremony, Stevens had already made them all bloody, but when he scolded, he also asked them to play their own effects in this game. In short, you can lose the game, but you must not lose too ugly. Now is when Lin Sen is not on the court, and it is also their best opportunity to chase points.

The Celtics hit a three-pointer, but for the Pacers, they were also trying to shoot a three-pointer with the Celtics. Without Lin Sen's attractiveness and strong ability on the court, this means that the Pacers need to show better tactical qualities and running positions on the court to face the next game.

The player holding the ball is Oladipo. No matter whether his three-pointers are the worst among the players, the effect of holding the ball and passing the ball is the most reliable.

Lin Sen got out of the field, so the firepower on the offensive end needs to be compensated. Turner and Lin Sen have fully understood the strength gap between the second round picks who entered the NBA in the same year and him. As soon as he came on the court, he was in a hurry to score the ball. He understood his positioning.

After the team joined Garinari, Bogdanovic and Garinari, the Pacers' offensive firepower points were much more than before. Last season, the Pacers played a lot of double towers, and his playing time was around 25 minutes, and the data was also the level of 137, which was qualified starting.

However, this year, the Pacers are more playing in the first, first, fourth, and only occasionally appear in double towers. After Lin Sen obtained the perpetual motion machine skill last year, his current physical strength is definitely not the same level as before. In addition to the operation of clocking in for three quarters, Turner's playing time is only 16-20 minutes, and half of them are garbage time.

But this does not mean that he doesn't have much effect on the court. Apart from Lin Sen, Turner may be the only one who can protect the frame. On the offensive end, he does not have the singles ability like Lin Sen, and he does not do a great job in attacking the frame. But at least, he has fully expanded his space traits, and his three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 38.4%.

For example, now, when he picks and rolls for Oladipo, he quickly dismantled to the outside line, which forced the Celtics to choose to quickly switch defenses on this defense.

Oladipo attacked the inside with Horford. The 193cm young man was not afraid at all when facing Horford. The double team from Smart was immediately on the right. This double team can only be said to be very timely and the time to choose was very good. When he came to drive Gordon, his teammates were also making up for the position.

But the Pacers' offense was far more than that. Gordon had already started running when Oladipo started running. Turner, who had withdrawn from the outside, did not want to shoot three-pointers, but once again made a beautiful pick-and-roll for Gordon without the ball.

The pick-and-roll in the front is pretty good, so this pick-and-roll is very beautiful. Gordon received a pass from Oladipo as soon as he bypassed the pick-and-roll, and made a quick three-pointer and hit back at Irving's just three-pointer.

"Myers' pick-and-roll is very beautiful! I feel that next summer we have to find a new substitute center for you." This year is the third year of Turner's rookie contract. Obviously, if it weren't for Lin Sen's existence, Turner would have been an extremely outstanding rookie now. His value is definitely not something that this million-dollar rookie contract can represent. After the four-year rookie contract expires, in order to keep Lin Sen in the second year, it is impossible for the Pacers to use a big contract to leave such a substitute center.

McMillan's jokes are not without reason. Lin Sen also feels that his substitute has great potential, but there is no way. Now these firepower points are too strong, and Turner's appearance will weaken their offense.

The Celtics wanted to resumably score their three-pointer, but Irving was so shocked that he didn't give him a chance to make a difficult move, but he still rushed into the inside and passed the ball to Rozier, who followed up on the other side, made a layup.

The ball had just entered on this side, and the Pacers' counterattack on the other side had already counterattacked quickly. Garlinari ran very quickly, and received the ball from the three-point position on the left to take advantage of his advantage of being an anti-aircraft turret and directly completed the shot and hit again.

After that, the Pacers' three-point team was out of control and they were in good condition.

On the defensive end, they may not be considered top-notch, because the two forwards now use two white forwards Bogdanovic and Garlinari, and Linson, the defensive core, is indeed not on the court now. Turner is good, but not enough, so they did not limit the Celtics' impact on the defensive end, especially Hayward, a small forward who was named with George before last year. In the second half, he was like a fish in the offensive end, but only these are not enough.

When Lin Sen returned to the court, their score difference was even higher than the previous 27 points. McMillan did not demand that all the players on the court had to take action in large open positions. Some players were very good at taking three-pointers under high pressure.

It can be said that except for Garlinari's open space and someone on his face, everyone is trying to shoot three-pointers. No matter whether the difficulty of that three-pointer is high, it is not a problem for them.

Lin Sen, who watched the three-pointer rain throughout the whole process, said do you want to play me? He passed so many empty spots in the second quarter but didn't see you as accurate. The Pacers' single-quarter net win scores were not many, but now in the third quarter, the defense is very average, they still widen the gap.
