After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 360 359: The defending champion was beaten badly at the start! ?
In the first round, Shay used a pleasing post-up single and scored a goal over the FMVP of last season.

Pierce is not necessarily the strongest batch of FMVPs in NBA history, but he is certainly not the weakest.

There is still strength.

But he was arrogant and arrogant, but he was easily handled by the 38-year-old Xie Yi.

Danny Angie, who was already full of white hair, clenched his fists, and remembered the horror of being ruled by Shay when he was a coach.

But Ainge believes that the Celtics will soon be able to fight back.

The current champion is me!

For the Celtics to attack, they are indeed very confident, thinking that they will be able to tie the score soon.

Garnett received the ball fed by Rondo in a high position, ready to single out Randolph.

The whole world knows that Zach Randolph is one of the most eye-catching players in the league.

At the beginning, people thought that the genuine O'Neal was lazy enough on the defensive end, but they didn't know that the rural O'Neal was even worse in this regard.

Randolph, in the spirit of a shorter, fatter, lazier shark, is bringing joy to his opponents.

When I was in the Trail Blazers before, the power forwards of other teams played the Trail Blazers, and the most wanted to encounter was the situation of throwing the ball from the sideline.

Because Randolph often stands in a daze and digs treasures to avoid chasing his own people, so that the opponent can easily walk to the basket to catch the ball and finish.During this period, Randolph didn't even pretend to chase, and watched the whole process.

As an insider, Randolph has never averaged more than 0.5 blocks per game in a season in his career.Last season, his average blocks per game was only a terrible 0.2.Basically, it's on the same level as Nash!
This is enough to show that what limits Randolph is not a problem of ability, but a lack of defense at all!

After finally encountering a big colander like Randolph, Garnett will certainly have a good time.

During this period, the Celtics were mainly a defensive team, and their offensive tactics were actually relatively simple.

It's just three superstars taking turns.

After all, Green Kai's defense is in charge of the Lakers' former meritorious assistant Thibodeau.

As for the offense, no one really thinks that Rivers can train the offense, right?
Because of the existence of the Big Three, they help each other to contain each other, so they can easily get one-on-one opportunities.

This is the scariest thing about the Big Three teams, you dare not attack indiscriminately.

Shay and Gerald Wallace didn't dare to let Pierce and Ray Allen go to flank Garnett at this time.

Randolph is now completely meat on the chopping board, a bosom friend on the big bed, at his disposal.

Green Kai's two on-site commentators, Mike Gorman and Heinsohn are also blowing:

"Kevin hit Randolph, it would be as easy as hitting a stake."

"No matter how well the Lakers pretend before the game, Randolph will show his true colors during the game!"

After catching the ball, Garnett made two triple-threat moves before suddenly driving to Randolph's right.

Garnett thought he could easily get into the paint, and he even thought about the next celebration. He wanted to beat his chest hard five times!

Hmph, let's see who of you still say that I am a Jagged jumper!
But as soon as Garnett took a step, he was actively blocked by Randolph to block the way.

Randolph confronted Garnett forcefully, without flinching.

Garnett was stunned, why did this guy defend so aggressively today! ?

However, because Randolph was too heavy and his feet were not very fast, Garnett still let Garnett walk to the basket.

However, Randolph's efforts successfully slowed down Garnett's attack speed.

So, when Garnett jumped up and prepared to split the dunk with one hand.

The feathered bird has come back and is taking off in the restricted area!
Chris Anderson went straight up and down, flying like a helicopter to incredible heights, with his big hands in front of the rim.

The ball Garnett slammed down just hit the birdman's palm.The two wrestled in the air, watching the basketball slip from Birdman's palm.As a result, after the basketball slipped out of his palm, Birdman persisted with his last two fingers. Finally, with his fingers, he pulled the basketball out of Garnett's hand and successfully blocked the wolf king's dunk!

This is not a birdman, this is simply a hawkman.California's soaring eagle, the Garten Eagle!
The whole audience exclaimed, just when Birdman was scrambling for the ball, the fans noticed that he was jumping high.Unexpectedly, he showed another wave of his jumping ability on the defensive end so soon, and roughly blocked Harder.

The Lakers fans in front of the TV were even more excited.

Since Big Ben left, the Lakers' interior has been supported by Mutombo and Jermaine O'Neill after a serious injury over the years.

These two are now floor-level insiders. Even though Mutombo still has a lot of blocks, most of them are the kind of blocks that are obtained by judgment.

It has been a long, long time since Lakers fans have seen such an exciting high-altitude blood rush!

This lifeless team has really begun to rejuvenate!
After Birdman completed the block, Randolph immediately stretched out his long arms and took the ball into his arms.

Although Randolph is only 2 meters tall with shoes on, he is actually not very short.The reason why he is not tall is purely because he has no neck!

The round head is directly spliced ​​to the body, and the length of the neck is the same as O'Neal's Jr., which is almost negligible.

Because the neck is too short, his height is not so tall.But in fact, Randolph's torso is not short, and his wingspan has directly reached 2 meters 24!

So Randolph does not suffer at all in terms of rebounding. In the original history of the black and white duo, he was the rebounding guarantee for the Grizzlies.

Getting the basketball means that the Lakers' defense ended perfectly.

Garnett and the on-site commentator were silent, facing Randolph, a defensive black hole, and a player like Birdman who had just returned from suspension because of drug addiction.As one of the Big Three, Garnett was so embarrassed by defense!

The Celtics thought they could easily equalize the score, but they were blocked strongly!
The on-site commentator Gorman didn't know what happened. Why did Randolph's defense just now be so active?Why does Chris Anderson play the game so seriously?

In fact, defending this thing depends half on ability and half on attitude.

Randolph, who changed his mind and wanted to play well after joining the Lakers, naturally would not be lazy on the defensive end.

Birdman, who has also lost his way, also knows that his only hope of gaining a foothold in the league is to do a good job of defense.

Although limited by his movement speed and height, Randolph is not a defensive gatekeeper.

But the current him is absolutely impossible to be a defensive loophole!

Although Birdman, who is eager to be reborn in Los Angeles, his defensive skills and defensive judgment ability are far inferior to the real top defensive centers such as Mutombo.

But whenever he sees an opportunity to block a shot, no matter who it is, he will go head-to-head.

This Lakers team is completely different from what Green Kai fans imagined!
Kupchak has also been completely convinced, but not by Randolph and Birdman, but by Shay.

Facts have proved that a good team leader can indeed change his teammates!
In this way, the Lakers started their second offense today.

As soon as Shay received the ball, Pierce immediately pressed aggressively.

The Celtics' defense is very Thibodeau's style, and it is also the routine played by the Lakers back then-halfcourt oppressive defense.

Don't let the opponent shoot easily, and give high-intensity physical confrontation at any time.If the opponent breaks through, Garnett, the sweeping monster, will attack at any time.

It can be said that this is a defensive system based entirely on Garnett's ability.

Rivers is still very confident in the Celtics' defense. Now that Shay's speed has slowed down a lot, as long as Shay dares to break through, Garnett can immediately attack and contain Shay.

But in the face of Pierce's fierce defense, Shay, who received the basketball with his back in the high post, did not break through.

He just took a step back, and after shaking his shoulders, he went straight to the Golden Rooster and made an independent fallback jumper.In an extremely freehand and simple way, he scored the second goal on Pierce's head!

Shay's current offense highlights a simple and rude one.

There aren't as many complicated swings, marathon off-ball moves, and bells and whistles as in his prime.

It's just catching the ball and hitting back, taking the enemy's life within three moves, it's as simple as that.

Shai's offense seems to be more handy than last season.This means that Shay has completed the transformation according to his physical condition!

In fact, Shay's transformation direction is very similar to the aging Jordan and Kobe.

In Kobe's twilight years and Jordan's time in the Wizards, his physical fitness also declined seriously.But combined with superb footwork, feints, and reads on the defense, they can always create one mid-range jumper after another.

High center of gravity, more direction changes, less breakthroughs, and more relying on fake moves and shaking to defeat the defense.

Of course, it is not easy to complete this transformation, you must have a solid technical reserve.

Otherwise, you can only wait for the fast break opportunity.

But fortunately, Shay's technical reserves in this area are rich enough, and he just got the "Tough Guy Dancer" badge in the last upgrade, which greatly increased the threat of Shay's back-up singles.

All of these make Shay's transition smoother!
Even against Pierce, who is not bad at defense, he can handle it with ease!
Pierce swallowed, and Shay scored two goals in a row on the top of his head with ease.

He began to recall what Ray Allen said before: "He's not scary, he can make you despair."

Just when Pierce began to reassess Shai's strength, Shay showed another aspect of his strength.

After scoring the goal, Shay deliberately asked Mutombo on the sidelines: "Hey Dikembe, what happened in the years I left? This is the FMVP in the world? In our era, people like him Drexler is worse!"

Pierce gritted his teeth, his blood pressure soaring crazily.

The last person he hated so much was Kobe!
Damn, didn't you just score two goals?Look how arrogant you are!

Unconvinced, Pierce planned to attack by himself this time, to show Xie some color.

Who is not a skilled player?

As the best singles player in the championship team, if this FMVP doesn't show off his power, you will think that I am a FMVP who came here!
This time, Pierce received the ball from outside the three-point line on the right, and the whole team opened up. He wanted to single Shay!
Needless to say, Pierce's skills are at the wing ceiling level.Although it is not as fried as Agua, it is more stable than Agua.

After receiving the basketball, Pierce made a few tentative steps to the left, and then suddenly raised the basketball.

Shay's center of gravity shifted, and he raised his center of gravity to block Pierce's shot.

And Shay's subtle changes were accurately captured by Pierce with excellent technology.

So he immediately broke through at a high speed, trying to get rid of Shay and make a quick stop jump shot!

Heh, the only three consecutive DPOY in history is nothing more than that now.

It's still the same sentence, it's all about the past and the present.

People will always myth the characters of the past, because the characters of the past will only be in everyone's memory.And memory is often automatically modified by the brain, and beautiful filters are automatically added.

But if we really bring the beauty in memory into reality, then reality will tell the world what cruelty is!

Pierce took a big step forward after passing Shay, and then put his hands together for a pull-up jumper.

But when Pierce picked up the basketball with both hands, a huge force pushed the ball down, causing him to let go of the basketball!

Shay just recovered in time, and then used his still full-level stealing ability to cut off Pierce's ball!
Although Shay's physical fitness has deteriorated a little, his other attributes are still at their peak.

Stealing this piece is still vigorous.

Fortunately, Pierce also reacted quickly, and immediately hugged the dropped ball with both hands, so that it was not directly intercepted by Shay.

But he can't dribble anymore. The Celtics' offense has stagnated because of Shay's precision. Shay successfully defended the FMVP of last season!
Shay immediately pressed Pierce, who had to hold the basketball high above his head while being careful not to walk.After all, he is not the gorilla touted by the league, and the referees are very strict in catching him walking.

In the end, Pierce had to pass the ball to Ray Allen, who came from the bottom corner.

Pierce was not reconciled, he was going to ask for the ball again, and singled Shay again.

As a result, when the basketball was flying towards Ray Allen, Gerald Wallace, who looked like a beast with dirty braids and muscular body, suddenly kicked the ground to speed up and blocked the original open passing route. Steal Pierce's pass directly!
In the end, Pierce still failed to escape the fate of mistakes!
Gerald Wallace's defense is more vigorous than his offense.He perfectly explained what it would be like for a striker with a burst of physical fitness to be willing to do his best on the defensive end.

This guy who is desperate to play is the only player in NBA history who can average 2.5 steals + 2.1 blocks per game in a single season.

He is also the only steal king with a height of more than 2 meters in the league after Shay!
In the original history, he once beat Iguodala, Artest and his like, and was selected for the best defensive team!
Elvis' defense has always been underestimated.

Just like Gordon of the champion Nuggets, everyone is attracted by his wonderful dunks, but ignores his extra love on the defensive end.

Their slam dunks are eye-catching, but apart from slam dunks, what they can help the team most is defense!
Last season was mainly because Elvis Presley's lungs exploded and the season was reimbursed too early, otherwise the Lakers would definitely not only be seventh in the Western Conference.

And this season, the perimeter defensive combination of Shay + Elvis will surely impress the entire league!

He is Shay's Pippen!
Relying on extremely terrifying physical fitness and precise judgment, Wallace took advantage of the trend after stealing the pass.

From the beginning of the game until now, the kitten has been holding his breath.

The whole world said he was finished with a punctured lung.

The whole world said that the Lakers should take advantage of him not to reveal his secrets and still have trade value, and use it for someone to stop losses.

Only Shay told him: "Don't worry, no one can trade you."

So he wants to risk his life for the legend and become a part of the legend!

Gerald Wallace seemed to be transformed into a black lightning, and rushed into the Green Kai penalty area in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Rondo, the most powerful center in the league, has also rushed to the basket.Smart, he didn't intend to jump up to block and confront Wallace head-on, but wanted to create an offensive foul by Elvis Presley.

But just as Rondo was in position, before he had time to stand on his feet, he saw Gerald Wallace setting fire to the sky!
Wallace's height after jumping up, his head is completely flush with the basket, and his entire arm is beyond the basket.Then he directly hit Rondo's big head with his small head from the air, knocking Rondo directly out of the baseline, and at the same time, he also made a strong dunk with his body already tilted!

With an extremely violent dunk, Gerald Wallace announced his return with his usual explosive performance!

Gerald Wallace didn't understand Carter's stretch and Jordan's elegance.In his opinion, slam dunk is the same as doing that thing, just pay attention to working hard to make a miracle!
Hit it hard and you're done!How come the violence!
This buckle also allowed the Lakers to lead the defending champion 7-0 at the start!

Whether it is offense or defense, the Lakers have shown excellent performances that are beyond people's expectations!

The defending champion was beaten badly at the beginning!
After landing, Gerald Wallace looked at Rondo on the ground and yelled, making Cdo, who hadn't practiced the Longquan yet, tremble.

On the other side, Shay scratched his head and looked at the Lakers bench again:
"Hey Rick, is this the quintessence of wing skills these days? Did the scouting report get it wrong? Damn it, he can't even hold the ball!"

Pierce:
Looking at Shay who was grinning from ear to ear, Carlisle couldn't help but sigh.

After all these years, Shay still has a soft spot for breast milking.

Doug Rivers called a timeout with his Donald Duck-like voice at this moment. He didn't want to be behind by double digits at the start!

The game was suspended, and the five players on the Lakers walked off the field at the same time, and then high-fived each other.

They don't look like a new team at all, but more like an old team that has been working together for many years.

Randolph's 180° defensive attitude.

Birdman soars in the sky.

Gerald Wallace regained his original body.

And, Shay is still superb in roster play and abnormal defense!
This group of unpopular garbage brothers came up and directly gave the defending champion a sap!

Judging from the current few rounds, the Lakers have shown excellent coordinated defensive capabilities.

Birdman helped Randolph cover Garnett, and Elvis helped Shay steal Pierce, all of which reflected this.

But on the offensive end, in fact, Shay is still the main player in singles.

Rivers originally thought that Shay's threat was not that great now, but judging from these few rounds, he still seems to be able to handle Pierce with ease.

The main thing is that Pierce himself is not a defensive champion. Before Garnett came, Pierce's defense has not been good.

After Garnett came, Pierce became emotionally infected and became more active on the defensive end, and the defense only made some progress.But it can only be said that it is not bad, it is still far from the top.

So next, Rivers didn't dare to let Pierce defend alone anymore.

Besides, what is the end of insisting on defending Shay alone? In 2000, George Karl tried it for the whole world.

56 points in the Olympic final was the result.

Even if Shay can't score 56 points now, even if he only scores 36 points, Rivers feels that the defense has failed.

So he knocked on the tactical board, and then told the players in a male duck voice:
"From now on, as long as Xie Yi wants to play singles, he will immediately go online and attack!"

In the playoffs last season, this is how the Celtics got Kobe.

This also means that the defending champions will no longer try, and they will use the state they played in the playoffs last season to deal with the Lakers!

As everyone knows, the current Lakers team is not a singles team for Shay.

Although the Lakers beat the defending champion 7-0 at this time, just now, the Lakers have not yet demonstrated the power of their "position version Showtime" on the offensive end!
Carlisle had already expected:

"Shay, next the Celtics will definitely play their best line attack. Everyone will play as they did in training, around Shay to find gaps, and make decisive shots when they get the opportunity!

We may not be champions, but we can send champions home today! "

There are still many things to show for this new Lakers team!
