DeRozan shot 6-of-25 from the first game against the Bucks and today he shot 16-of-31, a career-high 41 points in the playoffs.
Similar to yesterday's Ingram Rejuvenation:
Reduce the entanglement of the next plate and take a large number of middle shots.
DeRozan shot 16 goals today, except for a quick attack layup, a weak side follow-up shot, a waist one-on-one, a single Midleton and the last one, all the other balls were ball-holding blocking and dismantling.
The most daring thing is: others hit the bucks' block, see Giannis, avoid it; DeRozan specifically picked Janis today.
When Giannis switched sides with him, DeRozan shot 8-of-9.
Compared to Paul playing Jokic last season, Leonard playing Embiid three years ago, and Harden playing Gobert four years ago, this is even more difficult.
It is also the middle distance of DeRozan who is pure fire, and can be so picked up.
In the first game, Giannis blocked DeRozan under the basket, but today DeRozan did not go to the basket to provoke Giannis except for the final blow.
Pull into the box, adjust the pace, and get up.
I think the second credit for the Bulls to win is Caruso.
The big ball is gone, the bull has one less presenter, and he's in charge today. 10 assists, playing blocking with Pavey is very good, teaming up with LaVine to short cut to give DeRozan a set, two unsung heroes - LaVine shot 13 shots for 20 points today, has been in the air, and is the most interfered with the team to shoot.
Best of all, the Bulls opened the scoring against the Bucks by prioritizing the ball carrier and shrinking the wings to protect the inside line, so much so that LaVine would empty the bottom corner Middleton in order to make up for the inside line.
The result was that the Bucks couldn't do close in the first half, but they shot 7-of-14 from three-point range. At the end of the third quarter, Giannis and Middleton blocked and looked to chase points.
So in the fourth quarter, the Bulls used the 196 cm Caruso to position Giannis; when he dribbled, he clipped the ball.
Three years ago, the Raptors used 198 cm Danny Green and 201 cm Leonard to play against Giannis, and as soon as he dribbled, he hit Xiao Jia or Ibaka, which was also the same idea.
Caruso really carried it.
DeRozan's mid-range shot (and Vucevic's set-up basket) was for the Flames.
Caruso's no-ball walking, blocking and defending with Pave and Lavine are Chai He.
I always feel that yesterday's Ingram and today's Caruso are both putting big goals into the playoffs but not playing regrets, trying their best to make up for it.
Embiid scored three points in overtime to beat the Raptors, 3-0, which is a lock in this series.
But before the kill, the game was played a little weirdly.
Embiid scored 16 points in the third quarter and shot all five from the box. His waist took the ball and blocked Harden, playing well, and Philadelphia also went from lagging behind to catching up. On the other hand, Harden's strengths and weaknesses are clear: when there is cover, his instigation and drill camp are slippery like swimming fish; when it is really hard, the explosive power is still lacking, and it is covered by Siakam.
Embiid was back with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, and it looked like a showdown.
Then he was left on the three-point line for a long time.
Embiid made three shots in the fourth quarter, all outside the box, including a three-pointer that was forced to a point.
Coach Brett Brown used to like to put Embiid on the three-point line because he needed to leave room for Simmons; Embiid came out of the three-point line in the regular season to give Sebel the space to play for the basket.
Today Sable did not play again, Embiid killed fiercely in the third quarter, and the Raptors did not have a real giant in the fourth quarter, but Coach Rivers resolutely decided: put the leading center Embiid outside the three-point line.
Was Embiid too tired to let him go to the penalty area? However, in the fourth quarter of 90, Philadelphia let Embiid go to the three-point line defense, relying on rotation to make up for the position, the result of the Raptors a bottom corner three-point and a frontcourt rebound to make up, are eating Embiid's defense dividends.
"Coach Rivers! That's Embiid! Not KG!! ”
In extra time, Coach Rivers was suddenly wise again. Maxi approached Embiid to block the shot, and Embiid shot it from the free throw line himself.
Then Coach Nas returned the salute: Before Embiid finally scored three points, the Raptors had no one to interfere with the sideline ball. I think there are 0.9 seconds left, I will definitely hang under the basket, and people are piled up in the three-point line. And Coach Rivers played a very good sideline ball ability in the Clippers era, a block run, and won.
At best, Embiid's four-quarter and overtime shootouts were brilliant, but on closer inspection, both of those three-pointers were forced out. If you don't use Embiid as a space elder in the fourth quarter, maybe you don't have to play overtime.
Coach Rivers and Coach Nas are very kind to each other today, which reminds me of the New Year when I was a child.
"Oh, the red envelope gives you a little favor!" "Oh, our family is big, don't want red envelopes!"
"I want it!" "No, no, no!"
Embiid blinked, looking at the adults you pushed me to let go, annoyed, raised his hand to take the red packet, muttered "Adults are really troublesome!" "A puff of smoke ran away.
After the first game of the net was killed by the Celtics and Irving was not saved...
At best, Durant wouldn't shoot 9-of-24 from the field.
At worst, Irving wouldn't have scored 18 points and 39 points in the fourth quarter.
Irving didn't have another 39 points today — just 10 — but Durant was more tired than the first: 4-of-17 shooting, 20 free throws, 27 points.
In the second half, Irving shot 1 of 7 and Durant shot 0 of 10.
Should they be blamed?
After the first game was inaccurate, DeRozan and Ingram both found the feeling in the second game, and Durant played this play for two consecutive games, is it his problem?
Not necessarily.
Durant was copied three times in the first quarter of the first game, once when the Celtics let go of the gods and twice when the Celtics let bruce Brown out to pinch the ball.
The first goal of today's Net opening: Durant backplayed the defensive player of the year Smart, and the ball was given to Bruce Brown, who was vacated by Horford.
Afterwards Seth also looked for Bruce in the air and threw it. Durant also found Zhuang Shen to block the demolition, giving Bruce a long-range shot from the bottom corner.
"Whoever you let go, I'll find you." This is also Nash's response. Bruce Brown scored 14 points at the start of the second quarter.
Another response: The net hit Tatum online today, and Tatum shot 5 of 16 from the field.
The net relied on those two moves — playing Bruce and pinching Tatum — to lead 65-55 in the first half.
But in the second half, the problem came.
The network uses the on-line clamp attack, but also has to pay a price. The Celtics shot the first goal today: Chuang Shen to the three-point line to pinch Tatum, let go of Thes, rely on Durant to make up for it, Andes shot.
It was okay to pinch Tatum, but then Chuang Shen went up on the line to pinch Smart, leaving Durant in the position, and Horford took the opportunity to shoot - pinch Smart, which is a bit weird.
Durant's first mistake was to find Clarkston on the line to block the demolition, and was caught by the Thesis gambling defense. The net is still short of space, and it is a good idea to try to let Bruce Brown be the endpoint, but the space is still poor.
In the first goal of the second half, the Celtics deliberately surprised and lured Durant to rotate, so Horford shot from a long distance.
This forms an assembly line: the net expects the Celtics to empty Bruce to brush the empty position, and the Celtics also use the Zhuang Shen clip to leave Durant in the blank after the attack.
The questions here are:
Durant will be tired.
Today,the net is a large number of online clamps, and Durant is responsible for making up for the ass. As a result, Durant played 42 and a half points, interfering with 12 shots including six three-pointers, the most on the team.
On the offensive end, Durant had to take the ball at the three-point line, and the whole team assisted first; on the defensive end, Durant had to sweep to the three-point line to make up for it, interfering with the shooting of the whole team first.
This is the offense that makes Durant leBron, and the defense that makes Durant the dreamer.
Durant's 10-of-10 shooting in the second half doesn't seem to be hard to guess.
And, of course, there's the Celtics' own league-number one defense.
Durant's first mistake in the second half was when Jaylen let go of Bruce again and came to gamble to copy the ball. It was a gamble, but the price was not large: after all, there were three people in the Celtic penalty area at that time, which was quite safe.
The attack of the net, or no space. Then Jaylen copied the ball again, and it was Durant who singled him with the ball from outside the three-point line.
Let a 33-year-old seven-foot-tall former scoring champion continue to instigate the offense from outside the three-point line, and it is strange not to concede the ball.
The most emblematic of the Celtics' defensive strategy is Durant's third quarter assist Bruce Brown moment: Durant himself is locked by Tess, Jaylen and Tatum, and White is ready to rotate Irving. Bruce scored in the end, but the Celtics' strategy was to use three or four pairs of eyes, prioritizing Irving and Durant.
They shot 1-of-17 in the second half, which isn't surprising, right?
The turning point of the game was the Celtics' second-half wave of 23-4.
Those rounds:
After Tatum broke through, Chuang Shen leaked out of the bottom corner, dragic made up the position, so Jaylen shot through the empty position, 90 to 92.
Then Jaylen directly faced Chuang Shen on the basket and chased to 92 draws.
Jaylen broke through the basket, and then found Durant to block and shoot a three-pointer. Tatum finished again and the game was over.
Jaylen's chase, Tatum's 10 assists after eating a pinch, Horford's consistent play before being sent off, Theis's throw, Gwey and Pritchard play. The Celtics scored double-digits, giving up 65 in the first half and just 42 in the second half.
Defend, adjust, transfer the ball, execute.
Forced the net to abandon Durant and Irving and beat himself with Bruce Brown. Forced Durant to fill the position everywhere, and in vain.
Bruce Brown scored 23 points today, one more than Jaylen.
But when the star duel between Celtic vs. Net finally became Jaylen and Bruce to compete who was the better Brown, the situation did not seem to be difficult to guess...
In other words, the Celtics have led 2-0 41 times in their history and have only lost once.
Many people remember: It was four years ago in the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals, when rookie Tatum and sophomore Jaylen met the invincible LeBron.
