Kapitel 59: A three-point barrage
"Exactly!"
Mark Jackson also realized it, nodded, and laughed, "The Suns, with their extremely rapid fast break, delivered a 13-0 storm to the Celtics. The Suns' run-and-gun tactics are back, and with Carlos replacing Stat, the Suns' run-and-gun is even more formidable!"
"Hey, although Carlos is strong, Mark, don't speak too soon. After all, it seems like tonight is the first time the Suns have brought out the 'run-and-gun' tactic. We still need some time to evaluate its effectiveness."
"No, no, no, I just believe in Carlos, believe that he is stronger than Stat without any conditions."
"Well, okay."
Jon Barry stopped arguing. He knew that Mark had long become a fan of Carlos and would unconditionally support him. But if he continued like this, he might be scolded by Stat's numerous fans after the game.
At the same time...
In a bar in New York, Stat, enjoying the nightlife and drinking, suddenly found a mysterious crack appearing in the glass in front of him. He frowned, feeling at a loss —
Inside the arena...
"Beep beep!"
Coach Rivers called for a timeout.
The Suns' 13-0 counter-attack storm forced him to call a timeout to ease the Suns' run-and-gun onslaught.
Coming back from the timeout...
With a 5-point difference, the game was still in a relatively tense state. And... with the Celtics firing on all cylinders and the Suns' run-and-gun fast break, the two teams continued their fierce battle.
After the first quarter...
Suns (37): (33) Celtics.
A combined score of 70 points in a single quarter was quite exaggerated for the 2010-2011 season, which had just revealed the embryonic form of the small-ball era.
However...
The fans enjoyed watching, especially the Suns. The charging run-and-gun fast break made the home fans excited, and their blood boiled!
In the second quarter...
After the rotation of the bench, the well-rested starters returned. However, the decrease in shooting accuracy made the offenses of both teams slow down in this quarter.
However...
The slowed-down offenses of both sides always gave people a sense of calm before the storm.
After the second quarter...
The point difference between the two teams was still five.
Halftime...
In the commentary box, Jon Barry said, "At the end of the half, Carlos scored 18 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 blocks, with 3 three-pointers made. Truly versatile."
"So versatile!"
Mark Jackson nodded repeatedly and said, "Carlos is crucial for the Suns to achieve their current 10-game winning streak. He is the team's strongest offensive core. Of course, tonight, Curry's performance is also commendable, with 3 three-pointers made and 15 points in the first half. As long as he plays normally, it's another game with over 20 points. With more offensive opportunities in the Suns, his talents are gradually showing. The Suns' decision to trade for Curry was indeed a wise choice."
"Yes..."
Jon Barry nodded and continued, "In the Suns' run-and-gun, Carlos is the strongest finisher on the offensive end, but the second-in-command is definitely Curry. He is a good helper beside Carlos. However, the Celtics, who have been in excellent form recently, are performing well tonight and holding on to the game. The second half of the game will be even more exciting. However, both teams need a breakout moment to gain an advantage. There will be an outbreak, but we don't know when this breakout will happen."
"I think..."
As the commentators chatted, the halftime break ended.
In the second half...
Back on the court...
Celtics with possession...
Rondo at the top of the arc, dribbling to the left, handed the ball over to Ray Allen, who, after receiving the ball, dribbled to the right, came to the top of the arc, suddenly stopped, and half-turned.
"Splash!"
A three-pointer soared out...
Curry was momentarily stunned, tried to block, but a bit slow. The basketball had already been released, flying into the sky. With everyone watching, it accurately landed in the net.
"Jesus Shuttlesworth" starts with a three-pointer.
Then...
Before the fans could start celebrating, in the next play, Pierce, who had the ball himself, quickly requested a screen from Rondo, swiftly maneuvered around Carlos, and also made a three-pointer.
"Splash!"
It went in.
In less than a minute into the game, the Celtics hit two three-pointers, scored 6 consecutive points, directly erasing the 5-point deficit, and even taking a 1-point lead.
"Wow!"
Mark Jackson raised an eyebrow and said, "Jon, is this the turning point you were talking about?"
"Hehe!"
Jon Barry smiled faintly, "If the Celtics keep exploding like this, it might be possible!"
The game continues...
Carlos brings the ball up, faces Garnett at the top of the arc, holds the ball in his left hand, lowers his center of gravity, dribbles between his legs, probes with a step, fakes a large movement forward, and then makes a significant direction change.
An Iverson-style crossover.
He shook off Garnett's center of gravity, smoothly moved to the right with a lateral step, and Carlos raised his hand for a three-point shot.
"Splash!"
A swish.
"Can he really make it?"
Garnett still couldn't believe that a center like Carlos possessed such precise three-point shooting ability. He must not stay accurate like this all the time.
So...
10 minutes and 1 second.
From the left corner, Carlos, who circled around, received a pass from Nash, turned and made a three-pointer. Even though Ray Allen tried to defend the loophole, Carlos was too tall.
His interference was almost nonexistent.
The ball traced a beautiful parabola in the air.
"Splash!"
It went into the net!
7 minutes and 14 seconds.
Pierce's layup attempt missed, Carter grabbed the rebound, passed it to Nash on the perimeter, initiating a fast break, Nash charging towards the basket.
After drawing the attention of two defenders, he passed the ball to Carlos at the baseline. Carlos, once again, made a three-pointer.
"Splash!"
Again.
4 minutes and 27 seconds.
Facing Pierce's defense, Carlos accelerated to the left wing, abruptly stopped, turned his back, feigned a right-handed move, then accelerated again, heading towards the right. However, he only took one step.
"Sizzle!"
Stopped again, jumped up, turned in mid-air, and made another three-pointer.
"Stomp!"
Pierce widened his eyes, jumped up with all his might to block, but Carlos was still too tall, with long arms and a high jump. Although Pierce caught up in time, he still couldn't block it.
"Splash!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the ball passing through the net.
Another three-pointer.
1 minute and 15 seconds.
Carlos requested a screen from Nash, shook off Pierce's defense, took a step to the right wing, feigned a drive, and both Garnett and Ray Allen, who came to help defense, were faked out and retreated.
"Whoosh!"
Without any hesitation, Carlos stepped back, steadied himself, and made another three-pointer.
"No!"
Garnett, who knew he was out of position defensively, kept growling inside, wishing Carlos wouldn't make this shot. However, if he could prevent a score through a curse, it wouldn't be basketball.
"Splash!"
Another three-pointer.
"Wow!"
On the commentary box, Mark Jackson couldn't contain himself, shouting, "Five three-pointers in a quarter, eight in the entire game, Carlos's three-point shooting is incredible tonight."
"Amazing, truly amazing!"
Jon Barry couldn't help but applaud.
In the stands, the fans erupted.
"Wow, five three-pointers in a quarter! Carlos's three-point shooting is unbelievably accurate!"
"My God, is this really a center playing basketball?!"
"Haha, Carlos, who has hit eight three-pointers, has turned the Western Conference arena into a three-point barrage by himself!"
