554 Heaven (Part 1)
At this moment, Xiao Han became the center of attention for everyone.
Xiao Han was used to this kind of attention. Apart from paying attention to whether anyone came up to block it, there was only a single world left in his eyes.
The basket ring, the ball, and him are all in one form and have nothing to do with others.
The ball was swung from behind Xiao Han to the front of his head, and his arms were stretched straight, which showed how high his concentration was about the ball. Just when everyone thought Xiao Han would dunk the ball directly into the ring, he did not do so.
The ball reached the top of the basket ring and was pressed down by Xiao Han again, but not from directly above, but from the side, Xiao Han grabbed the ball's left arm and continued to draw an arc downward, in front of him and behind him, descending and rising again!
It was 450, no, at least 470 degrees later, the ball returned to the ring. At this time, Xiao Han bent his arms slightly, and the muscles on his arms were bulging, and he used all his strength to smash the ball towards the target.
This is one of the rare cases where Xiao Han showed evil. This situation did not occur more than ten times in his entire career. It can be seen that he has put in real effort to rekindle the fighting spirit of his teammates.
Xiao Han rarely makes such a strong effort at the ball. He always thinks that basketball is his best friend and should be cherished rather than destroyed. But at this moment, if he doesn't show enough emotions, he may not be able to impress the old foxes in the team.
Friends, sometimes they are those guys who are sorry for him (him) at certain moments of forced urges, but he will not blame you any more. For Xiao Han, basketball is.
What surprised the audience the most was not that Xiao Han took such a difficult windmill action, but that during this process, his altitude of the air did not drop at all, as if his waving arms were like the wings of an eagle, which could provide him with enough power to stay in the air as support.
Of course this is just a manifestation, and what works is his extraordinary waist and abdomen. However, what human eyes see is originally a visual effect. Fans will not think about the mechanics contained in a certain action when watching the game. They only care about what they see.
Xiao Han, who waved his wings, was famous in China for a long time. His original origin was Xiao Han's move, coupled with the various flying buttons he made in the future, which eventually made him named this nickname by people.
Pachulia, the closest to him, was completely stunned, and so did Davis. At this moment, they felt like the chicken under the wings of an eagle, but the two chickens seemed to be a little too big.
Rivers frowned. He was very dissatisfied with Davis and Scala Bryan's courage to even block. His goal was to make this Celtics the best defensive team of the century. At present, it seems that there is still a long way to go.
Defence changes the game, and this has never changed, especially for the current Hawks.
The Celtics' substitute cannot make the offense beat. Xiao Han knows that he must lead by example. If he is a tactic when attacking, then he agrees that this should be done when defending.
If even the main players are unwilling to do their best, how can we expect the substitutes to work diligently? Not every substitute player hopes to be able to get on the stage one day, especially those old guys. What they think about is even how to fulfill the contract they have and then go home to retire. Such players are everywhere in the Eagles. To drive their enthusiasm, you must work several times of effort.
It is not a problem for Pachulia to defend Scala Bryan, but it is difficult to get him to take care of Davis. Fortunately, Davis is still a rookie at this time, and there is still a long way to go before winning the trust of players like Eddie House and James Percy. Many times, shooters like House and Percy would rather shoot a three-pointer on the defense than pass the ball to a rookie. In other words, the Hawks don't have to put too much effort into defending the inside, and the pressure at this time comes almost all from the outside.
Xiao Han followed Eddie House because in his eyes, Tony Allen's offensive ability was average, while Percy was closer to a fixed-point open shooter. Such a person basically had no chance to play as long as he was a conscientious defender and could stand in his position.
It just so happened that House played No. 1 in the Celtics lineup, but this excessiveness should not last too long. It is certain that Rondo will soon be back on the field, and the one who replaced it will definitely not be the corresponding outside player, but the big insider.
This is the only weak link in the Celtics lineup. Except for Garnett, they do not have a stable scoring point in the inside. Neither Perkins, Davis, or Scala Bryan are a qualified scorer, and Rivers' intention to leave them is on the defensive rotation.
In other words, in addition to starting the game, the Celtics will use a small lineup as long as they enter the rotation, most of the time, Rivers is still exploring this point. He has too many combinations to try slowly in the game, but Xiao Han knew that Rivers would soon replace Rondo for this Hawks lineup, because there was no reliable outside line for the teammates on the court at this time.
The reason why Xiao Han had time to guess Rivers' next move was because the Celtics' offense was also deadlocked at this time. After a few aimless passes, the ball returned to House.
Xiao Han's judgment was correct. Tony Allen had no confidence in his shooting, and Percy was obviously more suitable to play at the same time as the "Big Three" and was able to shoot cold shots. Salem Stodmeier just kept up with his footsteps steadily, and Percy had no chance to attack.
The opportunity came just right. House and Lei Allen had the same thoughts. He also wanted to see what level of Xiao Han's periphery ability was. However, in today's game, Xiao Han's three previous attempts were all in the inside, so this question still exists until now.
Before seeing Xiao Han's shooting, House first saw his defense, which was consistent with Ray Allen. Although the Celtics had a great advantage in the first quarter, Ray Allen had no other gains except the three-pointer at the opening, because Xiao Han put down Rondo, who was not very effective, and turned to defend him. Joe Johnson was happy to see it. Anyway, he was never afraid of the task being easy in defense in this matter. The result of this change was that Xiao Han Lei Allen was very restricted and almost never left. Allen's speed and bounce were not as good as him, so he had to be forced to calm down.
However, the Celtics are strong, and Allen's idleness also contributed to the team. He completely restrained Xiao Han, which allowed Pierce to get too many singles opportunities, and scored eleven points in the first quarter. In addition, Garnett's tenth of the Hawks, who was unsolvable for the Hawks, but the scores of the two of them exceeded the entire Hawks.
But it was different now. None of the "Big Three" stayed on the court, and House in front of Xiao Han was the player with the strongest singles in the team at this time, so the showdown between the two naturally became the focus of the court.
House was not ready to pass the ball, and he was a guest player, or the Celtics did not organize the defender on the court at this time. They played the tactics of double or even three-shot guards. Tony Allen was responsible for defense, Percy was responsible for fixed-point shooting, and House, he had to take on the heavy responsibility of attacking.
House saw Xiao Han's bounce, but he ignored Xiao Han's experience a little. He felt that young people would always slow down in their defense judgment, and this perception directly killed him.
Seeing Xiao Han indifferent to his shaking, House took it for granted that Xiao Han was afraid that he would break through, so he pulled it up with confidence and threw it away, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for him would be a loud block.
House was so careless that he didn't make any other preparations and got up and took action. In this way, Xiao Han, who was robbed up, jumped up first, waited in a hurry.
Xiao Han directly covered the ball behind House. Before House could turn around, Xiao Han had already landed and turned behind him.
No one chased back, but Xiao Han did not go to the basket, and he took action outside the three-point line. This extreme confidence in his own shooting is undoubtedly a direct provocation to the Celtics, especially to Ray Allen, and the ball really went in.
Xiao Han felt very good when he took action, so he did not run to the basket like before, but stood there and watched the ball slowly fall into the net.
