Nba: The Opening Sign To The Finals Tiebreaker

Chapter 276 The Man Who Controls the Rebound

"Huh? What's the situation?"

"Monte Reissl Harrell is so active on the defensive end, why not play him?"

"Yeah, what's the point of bringing Paul Pierce up at a critical moment like this? He's so old, he's so slow, he's a defensive hole on the court.

All the fans at the scene were dumbfounded. In their view, Rivers was just messing around.

The fact that this wave of operations by the Clippers made people a little confused, even the Warriors players didn't understand it.

In the past two rounds of the series, Paul Pierce's role was negligible, and he was targeted by opponents on the field.

Now facing a stronger Warriors team, he should not be used even more.

Cole also frowned slightly. He turned his head and glanced at Rivers, not knowing what this guy was thinking.

The third quarter of the game started amidst the doubts of everyone on the scene.

The Warriors launched their first offense of the second half.

Curry took the ball to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Durant directly.

After forming a defense, Pierce will play one-on-one.

In front of the flexible Curry, Pierce was as bulky as a snail. After Curry shook continuously, he easily passed him with a change of direction, and then made a steady mid-range jumper.

The counter flashes.

70:60

With the scoring of this goal, the Warriors opened the point difference to double digits.

This is also the biggest point difference in this game so far.

There was silence at Staples Center, which they knew was coming when they saw Paul Pierce play.

"Paul Pierce is helpless in the face of Curry's offense. He is too old and the speed of his feet is really too slow."

Kenny Smith shook his head.

"This may be the worst decision Rivers made, and this decision will destroy the Clippers."

Charles Barkley chimed in.

"I really don't know what this guy is thinking, why not let me go up and coach."

As a loyal fan of Zhou Yuan, O'Neal was very unhappy with Rivers' approach.

The game continued, but Zhou Yuan didn't catch the ball in the backcourt, but went straight back to the basket.

After Paul advanced with the ball, he was double-teamed by the Warriors again.

"The bastard Rivers is really messing around. Zhou Yuan played so well in the first half, and now he is not allowed to play again."

"How much did Rivers charge the opponent? I suggest that the league investigate him immediately after this game."

"Made! What the hell, let Paul have the ball again? Forgot what happened in the first quarter?"

Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene couldn't sit still. Instead of remaining silent, they began to spray Rivers.

Of course, these voices also reached Rivers' ears, and he was very helpless about it. Now he can only hope that Zhou Yuan's tactic will be successful, otherwise he will be scolded miserably

Paul struggled to bring the ball across the half, and directly gave it to Pierce who was emptied.

After Pierce received the ball, he chose to shoot without hesitation.

"Clang!"

The crisp sound of iron striking made the fans shake their heads.

Can't make an open shot, and the defense can't keep up. I really don't know why Rivers replaced him.

The basketball hit the rim and bounced high. Under the basket, Green, McGee, Griffin, and Zhou Yuan blocked each other, ready to compete for offensive rebounds.

The four of them saw the timing and took off almost at the same time. Zhou Yuan's jumping height was obviously not at the same level as the other three, and with his super long arms, he easily took off the rebound in the crowd

Now Zhou Yuan can get a dunk as long as he gets up, but he didn't choose to do so, but continued to throw the ball to Pierce on the outside.

Pierce catches the ball and throws again, but the ball still fails to score.

The crisp sound of striking iron sounded again, Zhou Yuan overwhelmed the crowd, and once again grabbed an offensive rebound from the basket.

Pass again, vote again, grab again.

The situation on the court is like being caught in an endless loop.

Finally, after Zhou Yuan grabbed the fourth offensive rebound, Paul Pierce from the perimeter finally made a three-pointer!

"This... this is also okay?"

"Zhou Yuan's rebounding ability is really strong. Thanks to him, he grabbed four offensive rebounds in one attack. Otherwise, how could Paul Pierce have so many shooting opportunities?"

At this time, the three commentators on the scene, including the fans, didn't realize that this was the Clippers' tactic. They just thought that Zhou Yuan's ability was too good.

On the sidelines, after seeing this scene, Rivers relaxed his frown a little. It seems that Zhou Yuan's tactics are still somewhat effective.

0 looking for flowers……………

In the next round, the Clippers attacked again. This time Paul brought the ball to the frontcourt and directly chose to shoot against the defense.

"Chris's shot is a bit irrational. There is no chance at all. How can he make such a shot?"

As soon as Kenny Smith's voice fell, it really hit the iron again.

But Paul didn't panic at all. Just when everyone's attention was on the basketball, he had already sneaked into the unguarded corner.

Zhou Yuan grabbed the offensive rebound again at the basket and flicked the ball to Paul in the corner in the air.

This time, Brother Pao lived up to expectations and made a steady three-pointer from the bottom corner.

72:66

After the start of the second half of the game, the Clippers have hit two three-pointers, reducing the point difference to 6 points.

0

Most importantly, these two three-pointers were made in exactly the same way, both after Zhou Yuan grabbed the offensive rebound and made it.

After the goal was scored, everyone seemed to feel that something was wrong. Could it be that this was a deliberate arrangement by the Clippers?

"Charles, do you think they did it on purpose?"

"As for Paul's first shot in this round, it's completely unreasonable. As a veteran who has been fighting for many years, he shouldn't use this method when the team is behind?"

Kenny Smith questioned.

Barkley shook his head: "I'm not sure now, let's see how they fight next. y

In the following round, Paul Pierce continued to shoot from the outside, and the same scenario happened again.

It's just that after Zhou Yuan got the offensive rebound, he didn't pass it out, but chose to complete the dunk by himself.

Seeing this, everyone is completely sure.

"I can guarantee now that this is the special arrangement of the Clippers!"

"This tactic is quite bold, because it is very important for the protection of rebounds. Once you miss, you may be counterattacked by the opponent."

"It's because they have Zhou Yuan that they dare to fight like this!"

The game continued, the Clippers gradually opened up the situation in this way, and the Warriors' defensive deployment was completely disrupted.

They can cut the line between Paul and Zhou Yuan, but they can't stop Zhou Yuan from rebounding himself at the rim.

After Reddy hit a three-pointer on the weak side, the Clippers narrowed the point difference to 2 points.
