From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 130 Rondo with super high basketball IQ is invincible inside Davis.

Cousins ​​won the jump ball and the game started.

The person who is facing the world today is Ettovan Moore, and it is very easy.

Rondo advanced across the half court and gave the ball to Cousins ​​in the high position. Cousins ​​played back directly from the high position. Baynes, who was crushed in two steps, lost his balance, and then made a breakthrough with the ball.

Horford let go of Davis to cover the defense, and Cousins ​​​​stopped and made a two-handed nudge pass.

The height of this ball is very abnormal, it has exceeded the height of 50cm above the basket, and normal people must not be able to catch it.

Davis is not normal, he is a true genius.

"Bang~"

Davis not only received the pass 50cm above the basket, but also made a strong back dunk with both hands.

Davis looked very relaxed after dunking. For him, this dunk felt as simple as eating and drinking.

"Brilliant..."

Those who stand on the bottom line are a little stunned. There are still people with such a good physical fitness in this world?
The feeling of basketball in front of the TV is completely different from watching the game on the spot. Watching Davis’s dunk from the TV looks mediocre, and the most I can say is: "Oh, yes!!"

Watching it on the spot, I felt: "Fuck, is this a human?? Can the **** catch this ball???"

Since Jianghu entered the NBA, except for James, it was the first time he felt that someone's physical fitness was better than himself.

What's even more amazing is that James and Davis eventually became teammates in the original time and space...

After the dunk, the thick eyebrows were very calm, as if he had just completed an ordinary layup, and quickly retreated.

The Celtics attacked, Irving held the ball across the half, and it was Jrue Holiday who defended him.

Holiday is 1 meters tall and has a wingspan of more than 91 meters. He is an iconic combo guard. He has excellent speed, explosive power and flexibility, and can play two positions on both ends of the offense and defense.

Today he played the shooting guard on the offensive end, but on the defensive end he played against Irving, the point guard.

Rondo's defensive ability is still there, but he can no longer stick to the opponent's offensive core. Holiday is still very young, and his defensive ability far exceeds that of Rondo at his peak.

Jianghu feels that, in terms of defense alone, Holiday is not even worse than Tony Allen.

Holiday has been sticking to Irving since the beginning of the game and constantly changing defensive positions, making it difficult for Irving to find an offensive space.

His footwork skills and reaction speed are also very good, and he can make correct judgments and decisions on the court.These physical attributes and technical abilities make him an excellent defensive player.

His defensive style is somewhat similar to Kobe, constantly moving, constantly interfering with the opponent's dribble, which is annoying.

Irving wanted to seek a pick-and-roll after halftime, and Baynes stepped forward to pick-and-roll.

Cousins ​​and Davis chose to switch defenses immediately, Cousins ​​went in front of Horford, and Davis defended the pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Irving was double-teamed by Holiday and Davis, and the ball didn't pass out, and was directly snatched by Davis.

It was a steal like a robbery.

It can be seen that Irving is trying very hard to protect the ball or cause a defensive foul by Davis, but Davis just clamped the basketball with his hands like a pair of large pliers, and forcibly pulled the ball away from Irving.

Davis passed the ball to Rondo and immediately made a quick pass. Rondo held the ball and advanced steadily. After halftime, before reaching the three-point line, it was a push pass with both hands.

Another alley-oop.

Davis jumped high, caught the ball with his hands up, and slammed it hard toward the basket.

Pelicans 4 to 0 Celtics.

As expected of Davis with thick eyebrows, this guy is really fierce, and he is simply not something that the Celtics, a tattered insider, can restrain.

The Celtics continued to attack, Owen attacked with the ball, Jianghu began to run without the ball.

If it is difficult for the Celtics to limit Davis, then it is also difficult for the Pelicans to limit the world. His flexibility, speed and height, both on and off the ball, and his range all over the court are also not easy to mess with. .

Continuously using Brown and Horford's screens, Jianghu went from the left three-point line outside the bottom line to the right three-point line, throwing off the chasing Etowan Moore, and immediately shot a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Irving.

A Thompson-style three-pointer, easily hit.

"Shu~"

Pelicans 4:3 Celtics.

"In the past few games, Jianghu's three-point shooting has been very average. His three-point shooting percentage has dropped from 50% at the beginning of the season to 42% now, but today he feels good. He scored the first goal when he came up. .”

The Pelicans continued to attack. This time Davis came to the waist to ask for the ball with his back, and Cousins ​​sank to the inside.

Rondo passed the ball to Holiday, Holiday passed the ball to Davis and then sank beyond the left three-point line, Davis singled out with the ball on the left waist.

Facing Horford, Davis made a false shot and saw that Horford was not moving. He immediately got off the ball, dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch, and then moved to the left to shoot a two-point mid-range shot with a step back.

"Shu~"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits easily.

Pelicans 6 to 3 Celtics.

Davis scored 6 points in a row after the start.

After scoring the goal, Davis was still very calm, and continued to retreat while chewing gum while maintaining the shooting action.

This kind of ball is as simple as eating and drinking for him.

During the Pelicans period, Davis mainly played the fourth position, which is his favorite position.

His physical fitness is just enough to satisfy a power forward. His muscles are strong, but he does not lose his flexibility. The thick eyebrow brother in the Pelicans period is the most balanced on both ends of the offense and defense. Has the best mobility and wingspan inside.

During this period, he was rarely injured, and he could basically play more than 70 games every season.

After going to the Lakers, in order to adapt to the team's arrangements and someone, Davis began to gain weight and play at the 5th position he didn't like. Fighting with those centers, he was often injured, and was adapted into a funny Jokes.

"Bauer, Hayward, Zion Williamson, and Davis were in the same car, and three of them were injured when they passed a speed bump..."

But in fact, Davis is very suitable to be the core of the team.

Imagine if Davis was selected by a team like the Spurs and kept playing the [-] position all the time, he would be able to maintain a healthy body.

With his offensive and defensive influence, if he is paired with suitable teammates, not to mention how many championships, it is likely to be another 20 wins in 1000 years.

The Celtics continued to attack, and Irving was still pestered by Holiday.

This time Irving gave the ball to Jaylen Brown. The defender Brown faced was Rondo, who had an absolute height advantage.

Basketball is a game about matchups. Whoever makes the opponent pay the price first in the matchup arrangement may change the opponent's defense and control the situation of the game.

Facing Rondo, Brown chose a mid-range jumper. Rondo tried his best to defend, but still interfered with his shot.

The basketball hit the rear frame and popped up, and Cousins ​​​​protected the rebound.

"Fool……"

"You fucking beat him!!"

Seeing Brown's shot choice, Jianghu cursed helplessly in his heart.

Brown is 200cm tall and Rondo is 185cm tall. There is nothing wrong with his mid-range shot against Rondo, but it is not the best choice.

When Brown faced Rondo, in addition to the height advantage, the bigger advantage was the size advantage. He should use his size to break through and kill Rondo, break through the basket to attract defense, and even cause fouls. Only in this way can he change the opponent Defensive attack style.

Even if the mid-range jumper is scored, there is no way to change the defense. It should be the last choice rather than the first choice.

Cousins ​​received the rebound and gave it to Rondo. Rondo quickly advanced with the ball. When he came to the three-point line, he stretched out his hand as a tactical gesture. When Irving looked back, he immediately accelerated to break through the basket.

Coming to the basket, he made a fake behind-the-back pass with his right hand to attract Horford's defensive attention, and then quickly hit an easy layup with his right hand.

This is Rondo's iconic layup, fake fax.

Pelicans 8 to 3 Celtics.

Rondo is a player who really plays with his brain, and his style of play is very smart.

He is very clear that the Celtics are now very defensive against Davis, who scored 6 consecutive points in the opening game, and all the actions of the Celtics players are within Rondo's expectations.

He knew that he was pretending to call a pick-and-roll from beyond the three-point line, and Irving would look back to see if it was Davis. He also knew that he was making a fake pass, and Horford would look back at Davis.

This is basketball IQ, which is difficult to describe in words. Some people may not be able to learn it after playing for a lifetime, such as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle who likes zombie jump shots.

Some people are born with it and can use it to create an advantage for their teammates. This is a talent that cannot be taught and can only be understood by yourself.

The Celtics continued to attack, Irving quickly accelerated, made a fake emergency stop at the top of the arc facing Holiday, and then immediately rushed to the basket.

This time he finally swayed Holiday and got a good chance.

It's a pity that the Pelicans also have a big devil named Anthony Davis. Seeing that Holiday was broken, he immediately defended to the middle distance.

For a defender, the sense of oppression of the thick eyebrows is too strong, especially now the light-weight Pelicans thick eyebrows.

Irving faced Davis' supplementary defense at mid-range and chose a throw.

It's a pity that the ball was not scored, but Cousins ​​at the basket made a one-two grab and failed to protect the rebound. Baynes got stuck in his position and Horford got the offensive rebound.

Holiday also came back in front of Irving, interfering with Horford's pass to Irving.

After Davis defended Irving, he quickly returned to Horford and raised his arms high. Horford didn't even have a chance to make a phone call.

This is Davis' defensive ability. He can go wide to defend the three-point line one second, and return to the basket to protect the frame the next second.

Those guys who can lock the No. [-] pick half a year or even a year in advance, without injuries, are all real monsters.

Jianghu Mao saw Horford grabbed the rebound from the baseline and knew his chance had come. He pushed away Etwain Moore's hand on him, and sprinted from the baseline to the basket.

Baynes saw Jianghu approaching and immediately took a step back secretly. Horford and Jianghu had already had a tacit understanding after playing so many games, and used a ground pass to pass the ball from Davis' crotch to Jianghu.

Jianghu received the ball from the basket, faced Cousins' supplementary defense, and smashed the dunk vigorously with both hands.

Pelicans 8 to 5 Celtics.

The Pelicans continued to attack, Rondo gave the ball to Holiday, and then pointed to the low post on the right, signaling to go there and play by himself.

Holiday froze for a second, then understood what Rondo meant.

He took the ball to the low position and began to back Irving.

Holiday's weight is about 95kg, and Owen's weight is only 90kg.

As a skilled guard, Irving's most important thing is physical flexibility, not weight, so he does not have an advantage in strength.

Holiday played back consecutively and used his own strength to squeeze Irving from a low position close to the three-point line to the basket.

Holiday turned around and walked to the baseline, made a fake shot at the basket, and was assisted by Horford. He didn't hesitate, and passed the ball behind his left hand to Rondo, who came out of nowhere, and Rondo received the ball Then throw the ball directly to the basket without any stoppage.

A figure soared into the air, received a pass from Rondo and smashed the basket vigorously.

Another catch and dunk from Davis.

Pelicans 10 to 5 Celtics.

The manual saying that Rondo has thick eyebrows is definitely not bragging. He really knows how to make Davis play comfortably.

The one who scored was Davis, but the biggest credit for this goal should still be given to Rondo and Holiday.

The same point guards, some have more assists but the team's offense is not smooth, some have not so many assists, but the team's offense is very smooth.

The difference between the two is: one is to pass the ball for assist data, and the other is to pass the ball to sort out the team's offense.

Rondo is really using his brain to organize the team's offense, not just brushing data.

Seeing that Holiday's weight advantage directed him to play Irving, he could come out in time and be in the right position, receive the ball and pass it to Davis.

The Celtics are attacking, and they still run without the ball. The team's first offensive choice is to find him. He is the advantage point in the matchup.

This time he ran to the middle distance on the right and received a pass from Irving, dribbled and retreated to the outside to shoot a three-pointer.

Ettovan Moore's pursuit was a step slower. After all, he is a guard with a height of only 191cm and a weight of 89kg. He is a small forward who is forced to play because of his three-point accuracy and a wingspan of 207cm.

It is very difficult for him not to stick to the defense, and it is no different from not defending if he is used by Jianghu to use the cover to pull his body away.

Only Jianghu and Horford are active on the right side. Davis did not switch defenses and Jianghu is a big open.

Jianghu's shot was only slightly disturbed, and he hit a three-pointer.

Pelicans 10 to 8 Celtics.

Zhang Weiping yelled: "Good shot! Xiaojiang hit the second three-pointer today, two shots and two shots, and he feels pretty good today. The Celtics can't restrain Davis, and Irving is facing this Holiday. The game was very difficult, if the world doesn't stand up and score, the Celtics may have to explain today."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Jianghu is too good at using his own advantages. He has a height advantage over Moore, and he also uses his teammates' screens to pull, run out of the open and then shoot. The advantage is even greater."

"In this game, in the final analysis, it still depends on the performance of Jianghu and Davis. So far, neither of them has missed a shot. One is 3 for 3 and the other is 4 for 4, both of which are 8 points."
