"Defense!" "Defense!" "Defense!" ... Amid the cheers of the home fans, the visiting Boston Celtics inbounded from the backcourt. The ball went to Tony Allen, who calmly dribbled it across half court.
As soon as he crossed midcourt, Tony Allen quickly passed the ball to Gordon Hayward on the wing. After making the pass, he shot toward the right corner like an arrow released from a bow, spacing the floor for his team.
At the same time, Marc Gasol, who had originally been stationed in the paint, began to move. Like a mobile fortress, he strode toward the top of the arc.
Seeing this, Gordon Hayward understood immediately and fed the ball into Marc Gasol's hands.
Right afterward, Gordon Hayward turned without hesitation and ran toward the left corner, setting a solid screen for his teammate Goodwin at just the right moment.
Using Gordon Hayward's screen, Goodwin sprinted toward the left-wing three-point line at a 45-degree angle like a wild horse breaking free of its reins.
But how could the experienced Klay Thompson let his opponent have his way so easily?
He shouted, "Switch!" and immediately adjusted his steps, chasing tightly after Goodwin.
At the same time, Harrison Barnes quickly rotated over to take responsibility for guarding Gordon Hayward.
In the blink of an eye, the man arrived and so did the ball!
Marc Gasol immediately delivered an accurate pass into the hands of Goodwin, who had already reached the 45-degree spot beyond the three-point line.
Goodwin showed no hesitation after catching the ball. With a light flick of his wrist, he instantly put powerful force behind it.
The ball seemed to come alive, darting past Klay Thompson in front of him with an exquisite bounce pass and flying straight toward the left baseline.
It was undoubtedly an outstanding lead
