Standing pretty old

Chapter 327 The Elegant Killer

Just when the audience at the scene, major media, and the Internet were fascinated by Pierce and Jon Jonson's kaleidoscope technology, the spoiler made a move!

On the offensive end of the Celtics, Pierce is still holding the ball in a high position, and the defender behind him has also changed from Jon Jonson to Eclipse, who was replaced by Woodson just now and took a rest.

Pierce missed a turnaround jumper. After Ruan Erniu grabbed the rebound, he made a long pass to the frontcourt. After Mike Bibby drove away Rajon Rondo, he made a mid-range shot.

Then Pierce was replaced by Ray Allen, a Celtics player.

Rajon Rondo has the ball in half court, Garnett and Rondo make a pick-and-roll, Rondo uses the screen to pass Bibby in an instant, and goes straight to the basket, Ruan Erniu stands in position and waits for Rondo's layup , ready to blow him to the bottom line at any time.

Rondo took off first, and Ruan Erniu also jumped up. The advantages in bounce and speed allowed Erniu to occupy the commanding heights first, and Rondo had nowhere to go?

No, he threw the ball beyond the three-point line, and Ray Allen, who was ambushing outside, caught the ball and shot it, without the slightest hesitation, the ball hit!
……

Ray Allen loved reading because it was his only constant companion when he was a teenager.His father was a welder for the U.S. Air Force.

So, before starting his high school career, Allen traveled all over California, Deutsche, Oklahoma, the Three Lions, and then returned to Dalzell in Southern California.

Drifting, drifting non-stop.For a teenager, this may be a magical life experience.There is no time to meet close friends who can be called fetters, and there is no hometown where the soul can be placed.

So, he pinned his feelings on books. At 15, he worked part-time as a dishwasher at a steakhouse, and what about kids his age?They were speeding past outside on their bicycles, enjoying their own youth.

He is the kind of man who is destined to be a shooter - the love of reading and thinking, the endurance of being lonely for a long time, the silence of leaving and transferring, and facing the empty basketball court and the lonely basket every night. , Repeatedly practice boring shots.

In his high school years, he has become a diligent and self-disciplined sculptor, but he is not responsible for sculpting statues, he only sculpts himself.

Superstars are all masochists, and Ray Allen is no exception. For countless afternoons and nights, he repeated his movements like this, taking off 18 inches, holding the basketball lightly with his right hand, pointing his middle finger at the position, and forming a 45-degree circle with his right arm. degree angle, the left hand is protecting the ball, as gentle as stroking a flower.If time could stand still, this pose would be a statue.

Lift to reach the highest point, make a light wave with the right wrist, and move the arc at the end of the finger to ensure the rotation.

The ball just ended up spinning into the center of the net.

Day after day of practice, year after year of hard training, he has a dialogue with the basket in his own way, and in the process, he is looking for a tacit understanding between himself, basketball and the basket.

Mr. Naismith may thank Ray Allen for the young man who has elevated to the level of art one of the most basic movements when he invented the game.

In the same way, you absolutely can't put it on Reggie Miller. It's one thing to make a good shot, but another thing to make a good shot.

This sense of beauty seems to be something he was born with. Of course, this may also be related to his diligent reading and falling in love with art collection after entering the NBA. Generally speaking, Ray Allen is a person who is good at People who are constantly improving themselves.

This is reflected in his knowledge, self-cultivation and even his way of exercising.

His elegant temperament has touched countless people.

Jordan chose him as the endorsement of AJ telescopic shoes, and a big director like Spike Lee would invite him to act in a movie, playing the son of Denzel Washington in "Headed Out".This movie was also voted the best basketball movie by American fans. (Even "Paths of Glory" and "Coach Carter" are after this)

When he was a teenager, he migrated like a migratory bird. When he bowed his head, he read patiently, and when he looked up, he looked up at the sky.

It's not that he's not good at communicating, it's just that he has a cloud-like heart that makes him so outstanding.

Although he has a gentleman's appearance and a good off-court performance, he has never been the most beloved player in the league.

George Karl, the coach who once coached him, commented: "I think he is like a Barbie doll, he loves beauty very much. He is a good player, but on the court, he cares more about his playing style and how to become the focus of everyone's eyes And how to be cool."

Ray Allen also lived in Europa, where people love gentlemen, poets and thinkers.

However, this young man who is accustomed to reading and tasting art alone cannot be equally loved by Americans.Americans do not have the long-established aristocratic tradition like Europa, nor do they have the poets of the Lakeside School and the philosophers of the Rhine River.They relied on dumping tea to fight against the Three Lions, and relied on the rifles in the hands of the people to win freedom.

This is so unfair to Allen, because he doesn't just shoot.

"God's Left Hand" Chris Mullin once said: "Many pitchers become pitchers because they have no other basketball skills."

But Allen is by no means the case. With a height of 196 centimeters, a weight of 93 kilograms and amazing speed, bounce and flexibility, Allen has become an absolute outlier among shooters.

He is proficient in almost all shooting skills, almost all off-ball running positions, quick and graceful shooting ability after receiving the ball, emergency stop and jump shot after shaking, dry long-range shot under low center of gravity, and like a top SG should Proficient offensive skills with the ball - rapid cuts, layups, projectiles, dunks after maneuvering in the air, changing positions after lagging in the air, and sliding dunks.

When he first entered the league, he looked like a super shooting guard.

However, going back to George Karl's words, he is more concerned about his playing style, that is, he is not willing to fight his opponent in the mud every game.

Therefore, he prefers to use projection to solve the battle, instead of going inside to make kills like D. Wade, or like gaining weight, making his hips fatter, and looking for opportunities in the low post.

At this time, the league doesn't like scorers who float on the outside, even though this is his style...

……

Hit, hit, hit!
Ray Allen's successive three-pointers stopped the game. In the second half of the second quarter, he shot the Eagles to the ground in such an unreasonable way alone.

The man who defended him changed from Salim Stoudemire to Jon Jonson, but this still couldn't stop Allen's fiery touch.

Woodson couldn't wait for the intermission, and returned to the locker room to start spraying again.

During the timeout, he yelled at the Eagles players: "How many fucking points do you want him to score? Are you going to let Ray break the playoff record for 3 points? Fxxx!"

As for the Celtics, Ray Allen just high-fived his teammates one by one calmly, as if he hadn't done anything surprising.He is such a person. In terms of style, he is not at all like the iron-blooded temperament of the Celtics.

　PS: When I wrote this chapter, I really felt that Lei Sheng was in the wrong era. If he lived in an era where 3-pointers were more important like Curry, and had the support of a system and qualified helpers, his achievements might not be worse than Curry .
