Almighty legend life

Chapter 658
Paul Pierce grew up in a single-parent family. His mother worked three jobs a day to raise three children. Pierce grew up with his two half-brothers.

Paul Pierce, who was independent since he was a child, has always been very assertive. After he moved to Los Angeles with his mother, his home was very close to the home court of the Lakers. Gradually, he started to get in touch with basketball and fell in love with this sport. His mother also supported him very much. Playing sports is at least much better than hanging out on the streets.

Later, Pierce met Li Rui, a coach who changed his sports career at Inglewood High School. Through Li Rui, he met Liu Han, whom he admired very much. Pierce determined to become a legend from then on.

He joined UCLA in college. Although he did not lead the team to achieve the same achievements as Liu Han, Pierce has gradually formed his own style.

After joining the Celtics, life gave him a lot of blows, but Pierce insisted on coming through, he identified his own path, and insisted on his choice.

Now facing Liu Han who has returned to the NBA, Pierce feels the opponent's strength, but his inner persistence has become more serious.

The game between the Mavericks and the Celtics progressed to the 8th minute of the first quarter. The two sides began to deploy troops. The Mavericks sent rookies such as Josh Howard and Xue Yuyang to the field, while the Celtics also replaced them. The lineup, but the two main players of the two teams, Liu Han and Pierce, did not rest.

The competition between the two entered the highest state directly from the beginning of the game. Although Pierce seemed to be careless, his style was like this. His solid basic skills and kaleidoscopic offensive skills allowed Pierce to do a job with ease in the game. Although facing Liu Han, the team Deliberately let him attract the attention of Liu Han's defense, but it is undeniable that Pierce did play a big role in the game.

Compared with the appearance when we first met, the current Pierce has unconsciously shown a vicissitudes of life, and Liu Han has also changed his image greatly. The original youth has long since passed away, only the persistence in his heart has always remained the same .

Although Pierce's defense did not completely limit Liu Han's inability to score, it at least reduced Liu Han's efficiency and reduced the connection between Liu Han and the rest of the Mavericks. Play your role and tactics as much as possible.

After all, the Mavericks players are playing on the road, and the Celtics players are in a very good state today. They are even more accurate than the Mavericks from beyond the three-point line, especially Walter? McCarty, he almost knocked out Najera of the Mavericks after the Mavericks' better defensive Odom went off the field. Due to his height disadvantage, McCarty frequently hit three-pointers against Najera's defense on the three-point line , The Celtics gradually overtook the score.

After the first quarter, if Liu Han hadn’t scored Pierce’s two plus one at the last moment and made a strong three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, maybe the Celtics would have entered the second quarter with a double-digit lead .

In the second quarter, Liu Han rested. After returning to the field, the rest of the Mavericks overtook the score again. Although Liu Han was missing, Nowitzki played a wonderful performance. He first used Wen Baker to defend the slow-moving foot The flaw hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, and then the inside line used his weight to attack Wen Baker. Wen Baker is now plagued by injuries and has to protect his body. As a result, Nowitzki seized the opportunity to score a double plus one.

Less than half of the second quarter, the Mavericks extended the lead to 11 points.

Afterwards, Celtics head coach Jim O'Brien had to replace Pierce in advance, and Liu Han also returned to the court immediately following Pierce's debut.

As a result, the two fell into a stalemate again. Liu Han tried to give up Pierce and go to defend in defense, but Pierce immediately told Liu Han with a three-pointer that his choice was wrong.

The two sides entered a stage of stalemate.

But today the Mavericks are not feeling good except for Dirk Nowitzki and Liu Han. Odom has already missed three shots from outside the three-point line, and Jamison is also with the Celtics' Yeri Vershko. Complete mutual explosion, Vershko is a pure European small forward, Jamison's speed can't keep up with the opponent, and in the offense, Jamison can use his height advantage to shoot at will.

The two sides were evenly split for the rest of the second quarter, and the gap was still 11 points before halftime.

After the start of the second half of the game, Pierce began to look for opportunities to single Liu Han in the low post, but this time his choice was wrong. Under the same weight class, what Liu Han is most afraid of is the opponent's low post singles.

Liu Han's stance has given him a special ability to perceive the movement of the opponent's force. Few people can shake Liu Han away with physical contact.

Taking advantage of Pierce's consecutive misses in singles, the Mavericks completely brought up the rhythm of the game. Nowitzki, who had just played less than 3 minutes in the third quarter, was also replaced because of this. Nelson saw that the Celtics With the tactical flaw of "pseudo bombardment", he is ready to bring the team's speed up completely.

After Josh Howard came on the court, he directly used Liu Han's fast long pass to score consecutively, trying to further expand the point difference, and the Celtics were also not to be outdone in the offense. Although Pierce could hardly play his due role, But the feeling of others is still overwhelming.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the difference between the two teams came to 15 points.

At this point in the game, the situation is actually quite clear. The Celtics, who had a previous record of 12 wins and 13 losses, wanted to defeat the Mavericks, who are now ranked first in the league and have a record of 19 wins and 4 losses. Nowitzki has been completely opened up, and the rest of the Mavericks are also recovering. Liu Han's efficiency has dropped, but it is still easy to score. Pierce has not performed well in this game because of the tactics chosen by the team. So far He only got 14 points and 5 rebounds.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks had expanded the point difference to 18 points.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the double-serve offensive rhythm was still very fast, so the Celtics couldn't hold on very quickly. Although their style of play was mainly outside, their speed was not comparable to that of the Mavericks. The high-speed style of play is not something the Celtics can adapt to now.

When the game entered the last 4 minutes, the Celtics handed in their guns and surrendered. Liu Han and Pierce had the last hug of the game on the sidelines. It started with silence and will end with silence. For these two For people who are not much different in age, the most important thing is to keep going.
