The Whip of the God of Basketball

?<>

Leon stood on the sidelines and watched Arenas shackled on the court, hesitating on the first ball and passing the ball, knowing that this kid must be thinking about it.

In the draft two years ago, Leon knew that this guy has talent, but his talent is not to be a super point guard, but that he has tenacious willpower, outstanding ball feel and strong self-confidence. These things Sometimes it is more important than the so-called physical fitness.

After stimulating Arenas and letting him come to the Celtics, Leon decided to let him play the point guard, his size is slightly bigger than the point guard. Leon asked him to play the point guard because he can vaguely feel the future direction of the point guard in the future. Don't ask where this feeling comes from, Leon himself doesn't know.

Soon Leon saw the potential to become a super scorer from this guy with hard training spirit. But this is not what Leon wants, nor is it what Arenas himself wants. Leon hopes that he can take a more balanced route, slowly release his firepower, and teach him to become a stable and qualified point guard. Arenas felt that he could be a **** and be omnipotent.

At this point, Jason Kidd is mastering the Nets offense. He handed over the ball after halftime and gave it to Jefferson who was on the line. He slipped the bottom line from left to right and reached the right corner. Then Jefferson slammed a shot from the center. Pierce, The triple defenses of Garnett and Brown were waiting for him. How could Jefferson move suddenly? He immediately transferred the ball to Kidd, who shook Arenas away with another fake move, and then went into the penalty area with a fake layup. Passing the ball to Kittles who cut to the bottom line from the weak side, Kittles made a backhand to wipe the layup and easily two points.

A very simple scoring, scoring and internal cuts. Kidd not only completed the last assist, but also launched this offense. He passed the ball without the slightest sloppy, and he slipped the bottom line very quickly. Jefferson cleared the breakthrough space on the left and also attracted the Celtics' defensive attention to the right.

In the end, Kittles in the left corner completed an empty cut layup. For the Nets, who have relatively poor positional coordination, it is quite good to be able to rely on tactics to score.

On this side, Arenas once again provoke the burden of the organization. This time he learned his lesson and stopped pouting his **** to learn Mark Jackson. Like Kidd, he handed over the ball in the first half of the game. Anyway, he couldn't pass the magic. The pass, just make a tactical starting point. Then Pierce caught the ball and broke into the basket to score. Arenas stood in the corner for two seconds without doing anything.

"It was a good chance to score. Your handover was good!" Pierce did not forget to comfort Arenas. In fact, it was just because Garnett and Brown gave Pierce a double screen, as long as it is not Ben Wallace, double screen. Well done Pierce scored properly inside.

When the game gradually entered the formal stage, Arenas discovered that the power of habit is strong. Everyone is cooperating in accordance with the usual training routines and the tacit understanding accumulated in daily competitions. Occasionally the coach calls a timeout and arranges one or two key points. Tactics. What's more frightening is that Arenas himself is playing more and more towards the routine he is used to.

Offensively, hand over the ball obediently or find a chance to make two sudden attacks, and then control the rhythm in a quick counterattack. The Celtics are not hurried but coordinated with a sophisticated fast attack like a strong, angled overlord gun. The Nets were out of breath.

Indeed, the Nets could not beat the Celtics last season without Garnett. With Garnett, the Celtics' counterattack speed and changes have increased to a new level, the kind of multiplayer advancing short distances. Little cooperation, even playing the style of the super Celtic in 1986, set off a wave of cheers in the North Bank Garden.

66:53, the Celtics established a 13-point lead in the first half in one fell swoop. In the regular season, the Nets did not conduct targeted defenses, allowing the Celtics to play a stronger fast attack. They were fundamentally rhythmic. It is useless to change to Alonzo Mourning even if he can't keep up. The Celtics do not force the low position at all.

The situation is very good, but the more so, the more anxious Arenas feels.

In the first half of the game, his stats were good, with 10 points, 4 assists and 1 steal. In the head-to-head matchup with Kidd, he did not fall behind. But this is not what he wanted. What he thought before this game was that he frequently assisted in the first half and occasionally drew a few three-pointers. In the third quarter of the second half, he was fully fired and scored 15, 20 points and led the ball. The team secured the victory in one fell swoop.

In the end, he won the best player of the game with 35 points and 10 assists.

But now it seems that his performance tonight will not be any different from before. He scored about 20 points, 5 or 6 assists, and became the third and fourth man. This is different from what Leon said before the game!

During the intermission in the locker room, Pierce had already started to laugh at Arenas, saying that he had only played two good shots and had been a general for two minutes before becoming a small soldier. Arenas also knows that his so-called two good shots are nothing but an anti-dog.

"If you can win this way, why not just keep playing like this?" Carlisle said in the dressing room, he was so upright, until Leon rolled his eyes at him.

But this is Carlisle’s true thoughts. He also thought that Arenas’ attack power should be released before, but after seeing the Celtics’ second fast break tonight, Carlisle realized that releasing Arenas’ attack power was It doesn't make sense, because the Celtics' outside firepower is really strong enough, so powerful that it might be a waste to make Arenas too much.

Leon didn't say anything, he just asked the players to first stabilize the defense in the second half. In the case of a big lead, the situation where everyone does not score is more uncomfortable for the opponent than scoring on both sides.

But obviously, Arenas didn't hear a word.

After the start of the second half, Arenas pounced on the offense. His several shot choices were very bad. As a result, the old and spicy Kidd seized the opportunity and organized the team to launch a counterattack, playing a wave of 7:0. Directly narrowed the difference to 6 points. Leon had to call a timeout.

At this time, Leon made an unexpected substitution. He replaced Michael Reid, who played well in the first half, and replaced Lagabe, who had not had a chance to play this season. Then inside, he replaced Brown for Wang Zhizhi, who also didn't get a chance to play this season.

This unreasonable substitution has an extraordinary effect, because in this lineup, Arenas seems to have really become a general. Wang Zhizhi's out-and-out space-based interior, and Lagabere's pure wing, gave Arenas room to play.

In the offense after the timeout, he gave up on the outside shots, but began to use his hard work in the summer to break through Kidd's defense.

With strong arms and a slender but explosive calf neck, Arenas is like a rugby running back in protective clothing, holding the ball in his hand and hitting the inside. He scored 6 consecutive points and succeeded in one attack. Relying on free throws twice, for a time the outside defense that the Nets are proud of was completely unable to take Arenas ~www.readwn.com~ When necessary, he is the best blaster." Leon looked at Arenas Si made a crazy breakthrough. He knew that this kid couldn't get rid of the road he paved for him no matter what.

Relying on Arenas to score 11 points in the third quarter and cause too many fouls inside the Nets to leave early, the Celtics withstood the Nets' counterattack and defeated this old opponent with an advantage of 11 points and won the opening season. Five consecutive victories.

Arenas scored 25 points, sent 8 assists and 2 steals, and was named the best player of the game after the game. In an interview, Arenas said: "When I first came to the Celtics in the past, I wanted to choose No. 1, and then I chose No. 0 because I think this place in Boston, compared to the great history, I have nothing. Now I think that I have taken many steps on the road of starting at 0 and I will do better this season."

Halfway through, Arenas walked away. He said what he was saying. What he didn't say was that the one who didn't let him choose No. 1 and chose No. 0 was Fox Leon. From tonight he decided that no matter what the future is, at least in the past few years he will listen to Leon’s teachings and walk to the end on the road from scratch. To be continued.
