I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 315 Chapter 310 Five Chapter Four Eight Stable Christmas battle!

The lights are bright and the crowds are like waves.

December 12th, Christmas Eve.

At this time, the Staples Center Arena held a Christmas game, the Lakers VS Celtics.

Even if it is divided into Christmas, it is also divided into the top of the list.

During the warm-up, Kobe chatted with the Big Three of the Green Army for a few cents, and he also talked with Marbury for a couple of cents.

In the golden generation of 96, although the veteran has withered, he has not died.

Su Bei warmed up quietly and didn't have to chat with anyone.

The Celtics start five, Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.

The Lakers started with 5 players, Bynum, Gasol, Subei, Kobe, Fisher.

beep-!
Bynum beat Gasol to get the first attack for the Lakers.

"Fisher took the ball up the court and, as a tool, handed the basketball to Kobe.

Then, being caught by Ray Allen, Kobe didn't wave, and gave Bynum a lob to single out Perkins.

In the finals of last season, Bynum missed due to injury and failed to compete with the Celtics.

Now is indeed a good opportunity to weigh Bynum's strength.

Bang-!
Physical confrontation like a reckless person, the two sides were [-]-[-], Bynum did not have the advantage, but the offensive side still took the initiative, Bynum did not retreat, chose to meet the man, held high in the confrontation, and rushed to the basket. go……"

Bang-dang-!
Unaccustomed to Bynum, Perkins held Bynum's body and sealed the angle of the basket, allowing Bynum's close-in attack to the basket to return in vain, and the basketball went wide.

"Perkins holds Bynum, Garnett blocks Gasol, Rondo drives into the paint, grabs the rebound, and dribbles the ball.

Come to the top arc, hold the ball and observe the situation of your teammates..."

The Celtics' formation is wide open, and Perkins pulls down to the right basket. He can only eat cakes, but he is close to the basket and has to follow.

Garnett was in the low post on the left, jamming Gasol for the ball, while Pierce also huddled Subei with his butt and reached out for the ball.

On the right side, Ray Allen has room to move. I saw him cut to the basket, trying to play a screen with Perkins. Suddenly, he returned the carbine and ran to the 60-degree position on the right for a three-pointer. After receiving a pass from Rondo The ball, pull the ball and shoot an angry three-point shot...

"Brilliant movement by Ray Allen, and a knowing pass from Rondo.

Kobe was very active, but he was still half a beat late, so I can only bet on whether Ray Allen's three-point pistol has any bullets..."

Swish-!
In vain, Ray Allen elegantly scored a three-pointer, opening the scoring account for the Celtics.

3 to 0! !
"The Lakers attack, Fisher goes half court, passes the ball to Kobe.

Three threats to explore, and then to explore...

Huh?
Kobe played blindly, suddenly pulled the ball up, raised his hand and tried a three-point pull-up jumper..."

Ray Allen originally planned to use the "snake tactic" to attack Kobe. He did not expect to be caught by Kobe, and he rushed to block the shot. It was already too late.

Bang-dang-!
Sure enough, Kobe's three-pointer was an unreliable job.

Just because you can throw it doesn't mean you can hit it.

"Garnett grabbed the rebound... No, it was snatched by Su Bei. He made a circle, made a layup, and made up the knife to score the basketball..."

Swish-!
Subei's personal scoring account was also opened.

Off the court, Jackson nodded. It is not surprising that Kobe will be strong. The triangle rebounding tactic is to give Kobe the best offense.

When Kobe was singled out, Subei's air cut put the Lakers at the basket, forming a situation where more bullies were less, and Garnett was also stolen.

3 to 2! !
The offense and defense were switched, and Rondo dealt the cards in the top arc, flipping Pierce's cards.

"Pierce received the ball, put up three threats, took a step, and then moved, but failed to shake Su Bei.

Turning around, he gave Su Bei a buttock, step by step, to a comfortable point.

Before Kobe's help defense was in place, Pierce turned around with a shoulder shake, pulled the ball back for two points and shot a fadeaway jumper..."

Su Bei basically predicted Pierce's actions, and defended to the extreme.

After all, Pierce's speed is not fast, his jump is not high, and his talent is not as terrifying as McGrady.

Su Bei added a pre-judgment, and sealed the basketball in Pierce's hand like a slap in the face.

However, miraculously, Su Bei, who had the upper hand, still failed to complete the seal.

The dislocation of the rhythm made Pierce throw the shot to the basket...

Just when Su Bei thought that his defense was about to be sent, he heard the sound of iron striking behind him.

Bang-dang-!
Pierce's rhythm is hard to defend, but it still gives some defensive pressure.

In basketball, the iron went wide.

"Bynum took advantage of his height, grabbed the rebound, and gave Fisher a drive.

This round, Kobe didn't waste any more time, and distributed the ball to Su Bei, forming a triangle offensive team..."

The Celtics' chain defense kept the two-point line airtight. Fisher did not choose to cut inside to the basket, but played an outside cut with Su Bei to block Fisher's top defense. After Rondo, Su Bei immediately scored the ball to the right three-point corner, but made an empty cut to the inside.

"The best way to crack the zone defense is the three-pointer from the two bottom corners.

Fisher catches the ball, makes a full cut, catches the ball, jumps up, lifts his hand and shoots a [-]-point jump shot..."

Ray Allen didn't switch defenses, and Rondo bypassed Su Bei's defense, and it was too late to pounce.

No matter how fast he runs, he will never be able to pass the ball. Rondo can only bet that Fisher's three-point pistol has no bullets.

Swish-!
Wrong guess, no reward.

Fisher is old and can still play the starter, not without reason. His defense, three-pointers, and passing the ball across the half court have made the Lakers comfortable on both ends of the offense and defense. His presence is not only Just hug your thighs and lie flat.

3 to 5! !
"The Lakers are sharper offensively.

This season, the Lakers and Celtics are the two poles of the league.

One for offense and one for defense.

Next, look at the Green Army's offense, how to deal with it?

Just relying on defense and playing against an average team can win the game steadily. It is obviously not enough to play against the Lakers, but offense and defense run with two legs..."

How do you run?
Don't ask, if you ask, it means that the three giants are all covered in rain and dew.

"Rondo came to the top arc, and on this turn, he flipped Garnett's card.

The black is a bit dark, but it is hard enough, Gasol is still soft, he was squeezed by Garnett and lost his position, he could only watch Garnett, pull the ball and turn around, raising his hand is a turn Two-point iron-blooded fadeaway shot..."

Swish-!
Gasol couldn't get rid of Garnett's talent and was firmly eaten.

5 to 5! !
Next, the scene was played back and forth, and it was even and steady.

No way, both of them regard their opponents as the most powerful opponents on the way to the championship this season. It is really unnecessary to play all the cards for an ordinary game, but the time just happens to be Christmas.

As for the battle for the top spot?

Pooh!
That's what the media is talking about. Although they are telling the truth, but the regular season is long and full of accidents. I really think that ranking first and defeating second, or ranking second and defeating first, will be stable. Sitting at the top of the list?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!

As a result, the Celtics played unhurriedly, as they did last season, with defense relying on chain defense and offense relying on the Big Three taking turns to single out.

"Ray Allen hit another three.

Tonight's Allen, shooting three-pointers, put on the sights. "

……

"Pierce's post-ups, spins, pull-up fadeaways...

Swish-!
Subei's defense is beautiful, but Pierce's offense is also wonderful.

This is the strength of superstar capital, which can ignore the strong defense and send the basketball to the basket. "

……

"Garnett catches the ball in the low post, beats Gasol, drives to the hoop, and dunks with both hands.

Gasol was suppressed in the dark, even though Garnett's face was black and Gasol was white. "

……

At the end of the first quarter, the Big Three of the Celtics are in full bloom with good efficiency.

With a score of 25 to 24, the Celtics took a 1-point lead, rounded off, and fought the Lakers evenly.

Kobe made 8 of 5 shots and scored 10 points and 2 assists in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' bench advantage began to exert its strength, and Odom and Bynum were ignored. Even Vujacic also played the role of a surprise soldier, and the offense blossomed more, with full firepower.

To be reasonable, with Marbury joining the Celtics, the rotation lineup can theoretically send out a new group of Big Three.

It's just that Marbury is too independent, and it feels like he is here to fight for status, not for the championship.

Maybe it's because their ideas are very ideal, and they want to win the status first, and then go all out to fight for the championship.

However, Marbury has been regarded as a cancer by Larry Brown in recent years, and it is also a real cancer. He was suppressed from playing and his state declined very seriously.

Joining the Green Army and forming the Big Four with the Big Three looks like a picturesque battle, but one ball is obviously not enough for four people to score.

When Marbury didn't come, Ray Allen compromised and suffered a lot. Marbury is obviously not Ray Allen's style, and he plays point guard, which is the biggest weakness of this Green Army. Don't budge.

As a result, the green army's combat ability was not fully utilized to kill the opponent, but they took the lead in rolling up their own team.

Despite Garnett's efficient performance of 4 of 4, Ray Allen went undercover and did not have the accuracy of the first quarter, only 6 of 1 shots.

In addition, Marbury was in a mediocre state, making 4 of 1 shots, and formed a crouching dragon with Ray Allen. The situation on the court fell to the Lakers' side and was beaten 31 to 21.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers entered the locker room to rest with a score of 55 to 46 and a 9-point lead.

After 15 minutes of recuperation, the game came back in the second half, and the main players of both sides continued to play music, and then fought again.

The Celtics still have a leisurely pace. In addition to strengthening the defense, the offense depends entirely on the offense of the Big Three.

No way, as a chicken soup coach, Rivers relies on assistant coach Thibodeau for defense, and the Big Three for offense. The rest is to say nice words, and nothing else, what else can he do?

Not to mention, Pierce, one of the Big Three, does have something offensively.

In the first half, he failed to beat Subei, but in the second half he was able to beat Subei so badly that he made 6 of 4 shots in a single quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 12 points and 2 rebounds. Stronger than a group.

However, Garnett and Ray Allen performed mediocrely. Only one of the giants played with average firepower. With their strong defense, they only beat the Lakers 22 to 20 and recovered 2 points.

At the end of the first three quarters, the Celtics were only 7 points behind the Lakers.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers just shrunk, defended the basket, and used zone defense to force the Celtics to shoot away from the basket, and the offense was sent immediately.

Ray Allen made 3 of 0 three-pointers and scored 0 points, showing his hips.

Pierce made 3 of 1 shots, 1 of 0 three-pointers, and scored 2 points. His offense is too dependent on his state, and he is like a killer when he is on time.

Garnett made 4 of 3 shots and 1 of 0 three-pointers. He is in pretty good form, but relying on the little mid-range shooting firepower of one person cannot support the Celtics' offensive firepower at all.

Marbury hardly takes shots, he is here to assist, and he does what the Celtics wish. He does not break through, nor does he play hard, but just dribbles the ball across the court and then paddles, which is very promising. set.

In the fourth quarter, the Celtics made 7 of 0 three-pointers. They could only use mid-range shots to attack the Lakers' defense. They only scored 16 points. What would they use to catch up to the 7 points behind?
Om-!
With the sound of the buzzer, the red light turns on, and the game time is over.

With a score of 84 to 97, the Lakers had a 13-point advantage, defeated the Celtics, and won the 08/09 Christmas Game.

Kobe made 23 of 13 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and zero free throws. It can be seen that he didn't work hard. He scored 27 points, 6 assists and 9 rebounds. His quasi-triple-double performance was not bad.

加索尔14投7中，罚球8中6，轰下20分5助攻3篮板，表现也相当凑合。

苏北12投6分，三分球10中3，进账15分4助攻3篮板，同样凑合。

The performance of the Big Three of the Lakers was mediocre, and the wins were multi-point.

For the Celtics, Garnett made 14 of 11 shots, scored 22 points and 9 rebounds, and performed efficiently.

皮尔斯14投7中，三分球3中2，罚球4中4，砍下20分10篮板3助攻，还算凑合。

The problem was Ray Allen, who made 14 of 5 shots, 11 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 1 free throws. He only scored 14 points and 3 assists. The player who scored in double figures, the Celtics did not lose unjustly.

On December 12, the coordinates were still at the Staples Center.

In the last battle of 2008, the Lakers welcomed the Warriors' door-to-door challenge at home.

During the offseason, the Warriors disbanded the gang, sent away the bearded Davis, the convulsion player Al Harrington, and the defensive giant Matt Marnes, and carried out a random reconstruction rhythm.

As a result, the Warriors were out of luck. Maggette, who was signed, was injured, and Alice, who was trained by himself, was also injured. Germany.

The Warriors have a disorganized lineup, but they still play running, bombing and offensive basketball as always. I have never seen this kind of death-seeking team.

Naturally, the Lakers won't get used to him, and they don't defend. They competed with the Warriors for offensive firepower and beat the Warriors with a score of 134 to 113. They beat the Warriors by 21 points and won 4 consecutive victories. Posture, the end of December, is also the journey of 12.
