Center first

Chapter 274
Just like the first quarter of the game, when the referee's whistle blew, the two teams immediately ignited their combat state, and entered the stage of physical confrontation, wanting to control the basketball stably?This is undoubtedly an idea that can only be had in a dream.

Rondo received a pass from Ray Allen on the baseline. When his feet just crossed the half court, he was greeted by the chest of the old Bell from the side.Before Rondo had time to watch his teammates move, he was directly stuck there by Old Bell's hands and couldn't move.

Half-court marking, Spoelstra is not an idiot, he will not wait for Pierce to start attacking with the ball like an idiot.The offensive situation changed in the second half of the first quarter. He had already seen Doc Rivers' plan. Pierce would be another key player in the game.

Garnett and Lin Yi fought hard on the inside, and Pierce on the outside has begun to take over the game. Although Wade has also begun to increase breakthroughs, Marion's defense against Pierce has become an unstable factor for the Heat. Pierce cannot be allowed to continue like this. intrusion.

Spoelstra only made one arrangement during the timeout, that is, spread people away, expand the coverage in the half court, do not give the opponent time to attack step by step, and drag the opponent down physically, even if he paid The cost may also be high.

The first point of control is the point guard Rondo. Raja Bell's marking of Rondo may be the most dominant confrontation for the Heat. An old fritters against a newcomer. Although the old Bell suffers from the speed point of view, but from the In terms of experience, Rondo is simply not enough.

Eat their point guards and disrupt their rhythm!Let these guys catch the ball away from the three-point line and create enough buffer zone for their players to defend. This is the plan of the Filipino. He will not obediently follow the opponent's rhythm.

"Smart guy." Pat Riley, who was watching the game form in the box, looked at Spoelstra's response with a smile. It seems that this Filipino is not only a good sounding board, but also a A flexible guy.

It's been almost a year since he coached, and this kid is no longer a novice who doesn't know anything. He has also become slick, especially when it comes to dealing with interpersonal relationships.I'm afraid that if I want to stage another seizure of power now, I am afraid that I will be the one who suffers.

Facing such tight close-up marking, Rondo didn't have time to react for a while, but he was still moving his steps subconsciously, and he didn't dare to let the opponent put himself near the center line easily.

Running, when Rondo was blocked near the sideline by Old Bell, he forcibly twisted his body and threw the basketball from the left hand side directly into Pierce's hand, but he didn't stop. Bell's body ran to the baseline.

The old Bell would not let his prey escape easily. He followed Rondo's footsteps and rushed to the baseline, strangling the opponent's ball point. He worked so hard to complete the task beautifully, otherwise this guy Spoelstra would never let him go easily.

Pierce holds the ball, but he is not so good at breaking through Marion's defense now, and even if he can break through, it will not take advantage of the slightest advantage. You must know that only an idiot will choose to start trying to break through the opponent's defense near the center line .

The distance from the three-point line is too far, which is a big trouble for Pierce who is not fast. He can only move to the three-point line with Marion on his shoulders, and he has to guard against Wade's pincer attack from time to time, which makes him fundamentally play. The offensive firepower in the second half of the first quarter will not come out.

The Celtics' pace was limited just after halftime, much to the chagrin of Doc Rivers, who hadn't expected the crafty Filipino to make such a rogue adjustment.

"Damn it, there is no one who follows Pat Riley like a fox!" However, his anger can only be directed at the tactical board in front of him, and all he can do is to attack it from the sidelines. The players on the field roared loudly.

"Pass the ball, don't stand there waiting for the ball! The ball will not automatically go to your hands!" He loudly reminded his players to run as soon as possible.

The first person to move was the fattest guy on the field, the "big baby" Glenn Davis, who was built like a hill, was the first to take the initiative to go up to the high position to do a pick-and-roll for his boss. The boy in the grade knew that he had to do something, otherwise he might be put on the bench by the boss again.

Glenn Davis's huge body is definitely a very qualified mobile meat wall. Even if McDyess tried his best to set up obstacles for him, he couldn't stop this big guy from squeezing a path for Paul Pierce. aisle.

Marion was blocked from the three-point line by the soft pile of Davis and lost the opportunity to mark Pierce, but McDyess had already gone one step ahead to block Pierce's offensive line, and the two were on the three-point line In one step, they are entangled together.

Pierce's shoulders were directly on McDyess's chest. Although McDyess was slightly heavier than Pierce in terms of weight, his height made him look extremely thin, and the stocky Pierce had never suffered from physical confrontation. suffer any loss.

A hard shake, a direct confrontation between the bodies, which made McDyess directly supported by Pierce's arm, and he did not completely block the opponent's breakthrough footsteps. In this case, McDyess could only It is to stick the body as much as possible in an attempt to prevent the opponent's breakthrough.

McDyess's advantage is that he is in the inside position and can occupy the advantage of being stuck in the movement, but his disadvantage in physical confrontation makes him lose this advantage in an instant, and now he can only passively use both hands to try his best. Block Pierce's shot.

However, Pierce has no intention of giving up on this. The arm he put on McDyess squeezed the opponent's body inward. He took advantage of the confrontation when he broke through and put all his body's center of gravity on Mike. Dyce's side.

Pushing on the ground, Pierce pushed hard inward, and one step away from the three-second zone line, his strong arm exerted force again, and a feeling of tightness in his chest made McDyess passively let go. He slowed down his pace of catching up.

That's what Pierce wanted, when Pierce clearly felt that McDyess's body clinging to him was thrown off by his strong upper body strength, although those annoying hands were still hanging over his head, it would not hinder him from making shots. action.

Holding his right hand high, Pierce has already adjusted his body as much as possible in the air. Although this is not his usual shooting posture, this kind of one-handed shooting while stepping on the three-second zone line is not difficult for him. action.

McDyess's hands finally lost their shielding effect. When the shadow of the shield dissipated, Pierce saw in his eyes that it was not the position of the basket, but a larger black shadow rushing towards him.

The sudden change made it too late for Pierce to retract his outstretched right hand. The orange basketball had just left his palm. Before it could experience the thrill of rising, it was slapped out by a wide palm. .

The clear sound, the basketball flying out of the baseline, Pierce in a daze, and the big man who almost rushed his body to Pierce's eyes. When all these were organized into a picture, Doc Rivers opened up on the sidelines. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Garnett looked at the back of the No. 34 jersey who had circled in front of him. He could clearly feel a hot burning sensation from his fingers, which was caused by the friction when he subconsciously pulled the opponent's jersey. Yes, he didn't let go this time, but he still couldn't grab the forward body.

A tyrannical force, extremely fast reaction and defensive footsteps, accurate capture of the shooter's shot point, Garnett didn't even have the opportunity to use small moves.

Pierce also looked at the big man in front of him who pursed his lips and said nothing. He could clearly feel the feeling coming from the other person, which was an aura that made him have no room to resist.

On and off the court, everything seemed a little silent. Perhaps only the referee was the first to react. His whistle called everyone back to their original roles.

"Bottom line ball." The referee's gesture was very clear, but these guys, including the Heat players, even felt a little dull.

"Damn, this kid is simply superman." Spoelstra thought that this defense had completely failed. He was about to shake his fist to express his anger, but the guy who flashed out from the basket gave him a Miraculous cover.

"Charles, I think even if it's you, maybe you don't want to stand on that basket to play now." Miller touched his commentator partner with his elbow.

"I found that not retiring at this age may be the wisest decision I have made in my life." When Barkley saw that big cap that slapped Pierce's shot away, he felt a little bit on the back of his neck. Feel the cool breeze.

"It should be that we both feel lucky, or Paul's misfortune, what do you think." Miller grinned and said to Barkley with a smile.

"You monkey who always runs outside the three-point line, don't compare yourself to players like us at the basket. If you want to block your shot, damn it, it's not as easy as hitting a fly with your bare hands!" Barkley looked at him with contempt. miller.

"Again!" Lin Yi turned his head away. He didn't say this to Pierce, who was slapped by him, but stared at Garnett in front of him.

This is the best response to Garnett's provocation, not only to win, but also to win so that you are speechless.

(The Lakers really can't do without Jiasao's inside ball transfer. Once Jiasao comes back today, Kobe doesn't have to continue to do it alone, and six people in the team have scored in double figures... It seems that the axis is still Jiasao Yeah, 24 points and 13 rebounds, is that the perfect comeback?)
