You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 649 The Moment of Dynasty Change (1066)

Seeing that Wei Xia was about to explode with the power of that dunk, one of the Celtics was seriously thinking about how to counter it on an equal footing.

Rajon Rondo dribbles through the halfcourt, and everyone knows about his shitty affair with Ray Allen.There is no point in entangled in right and wrong, but one thing is recognized, he and Allen are not easy people to get along with. There had been gossip when he was cut by Team USA in 2010.The meaningful reticence of the Boston media as he considered his contract also made it clear that he wasn't as popular on the team as Nash was with the Suns.

Last summer, there were rumors about his trade scandal with Westbrook in the rumor zone, but no one will mention it now.

Ray Allen is gone, Pierce and KG are old, and the Celtics are almost his team.

As much as he got, he had to continue to bear.He led the assists and was the monster that nearly killed champion Miami in the Eastern Conference Finals.What he needs to do is no longer just passing the ball and playing beautiful assist data. He has to take on all aspects of the team like Paul did to the Clippers-if he plays every game like the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, it will not be difficult.

Today, in the face of Wei Xia's strong outbreak, he did not respond as much as Garnett.

This will not work.

On the defensive end alone, Wei Xia's defense is like a god.

DPOY-level perimeter defense, the last one was Ron Artest, and only Gary Payton went forward.

Fortunately, Wei Xia didn't guard against him.

Opposing him was Jrue Holiday, a guard so innocent that Rondo despised his IQ.

Rondo has a good impression of Holiday. In the past, like Nick Young, he was thinking about how to single out on both ends of the offense and defense, regardless of the situation on the court.He is the kind of player who can get spiritual satisfaction as long as he wins the round of fighting.

This year, Wei Xia output scoring champion-level firepower, while taking out a DPOY-like defense to radiate the whole team, and he, under the subtle influence of such powerful figures, has made great progress.Mainly on the defensive end, he suddenly has a little bit of a bigger picture.

Every time he defends, Holiday always rolls up his sleeves, lifts his trousers, and presses his legs down; when the screen comes, he pushes and squeezes without losing his position;He still suffers from heads-up defense, but the pick-and-roll defense is perfect and continuous, every round is so strong, it's like a shrunken Battier.

After the first quarter, Rondo's defense against Holiday didn't get any cheap.

He found that his opponent was not what it used to be, and looking at people with old eyes would only bring him more trouble.

So he called Garnett's pick-and-roll a lot, and used the pick-and-roll to break the game.

The tricks of layups, throws, fake shots, real passes, and fake fax shots lasted throughout the second quarter.

Wei Xia responded in a variety of ways, with a three-pointer from the outside.

Catch the ball from the low post and turn over and shoot directly.

Or, push the defender away, use his shoulders to find a confrontation, and borrow strength, his upper body strength has been developed to the strength that he can crush except for a few players including James.

"Beep!"

The referee blew a pleasant whistle, and Wei Xia's jumper fell hollow.

It was what he wanted, and it was the last attack before halftime.

Additional penalty, he also made a shot.

He scored 25 points in the first quarter. When the second quarter came up, with four and a half minutes left in the game, he scored another 15 points in this time.

With 40 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the half, he has thrown away all the passing options.

"Wish, someone said your desire to attack has never been on display like it was tonight, do you have anything to say about that?"

"It's true that I rarely attack with all my strength. Thanks to my teammates, they are willing to give up the ball and let me show myself."

"What made you decide to keep attacking?"

"My grandpa and grandma, they came to the scene." Wei Xia said happily, "My grandpa is not in good health, he hasn't come to the garden to watch the game for a long time, and my grandma, she grew up in Boston, but she has never seen a game in the garden."

In a few words, Wei Xia clearly explained why he broke out.

Just like when Kobe's grandmother watched him play live for the first time, he scored 81 points against the Raptors. Tonight is Wei Xia's "81-point night".

He doesn't necessarily have to score 81 points, he will only go all out to score and create a record.

Maybe he will never have such opportunities and desires in the future, but he will not think about those things.

Cherish the people in front of you, cherish the things in front of you, the opportunity has come, all he has to do is grab it.

away team locker room

The visiting team locker room in the old Boston Garden is the worst place in the league. In the Lakers game, the old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was so adjusted that he needed to hang up an oxygen cylinder during the rest.

When Havlicek first joined the Celtics, he was still curious about the undefeated king, but when he entered the locker room, he found that it was small and dark, with an unpleasant smell everywhere. There was no wardrobe, but many nails were driven into the wall, and everyone's clothes were hung there.

Now, this situation cannot happen again.

Looking at the world, the NBA is also the top sports league, and its logistical support is in place.

Wei Xia has to go to the old time every night, but he has crossed the 60s.

Yes, he has come to the 70's.

The situation has not changed. The Celtics are still playing in the old Boston Garden. He has to experience the harshness of that arena every day in order to cherish the highly commercialized modern NBA.

"We didn't play much, and Wish's restrictions on Paul Pierce are the best I've ever seen!" Collins almost held Weisha in his palm and praised him. "He bears the most severe offensive pressure, but plays the most amazing defensive effect. All of you should learn from him."

There's so much that Collins doesn't know.

For example, Wei Xia is not used to the coach praising him so much.

Early in his career he was scolded by Phil Jackson for three years.Those days were not lived by human beings, the strongest opponent, the most tiring job, the lowest tactical position, even Smash Parker, a dude, could point and shout at him.

The credit is none of his business, the loss is all his fault, no matter how many games the Lakers lost, Wei Xia was scolded so many times at the replay meeting.

Whoever has survived these three years without being driven mad by the Zen master has to change his temperament, or suffer in silence until he becomes numb, taking criticism as praise, criticism as encouragement, reprimand as praise, and unfair treatment as a push to help him improve.

That's right, Wei Xia is the third type of person.

He doesn't need to be praised, if there are only sweet words, he will never see his own shortcomings.

Look at what the Zen master has made of him.

Collins knelt and licked him in public, but he felt disgusted and wanted to bring the topic to others: "Coach, don't just talk about me, Boge also played very well."

"Well, keep it up." Collins's performance towards Cousins ​​was like gold.

Cousins ​​needs more praise than Wei Xia, but Collins doesn't understand this.

It was Wei Xia who spoke and praised Cousins: "Don't slack off, you made the Celtics helpless in the first half, and you have to work harder in the second half!"

"That's needless to say!" Cousins ​​could tell who valued himself, and he exclaimed vigorously, "You just focus on offense. No one can compare to me in rebounding and defense!"

Hayward joked: "The attitude is good, but it is not convincing at all."

"Stop rambling, you are not convincing, your whole family is not convincing, everyone performed very well in the first half, but you played like shit as always!" Cousins ​​opened his mouth to output critical strikes.

But he wronged Hayward.

Hayward is more invisible than Pierce, but he is not being defended until he is invisible, but standing in the bottom corner and no one is passing the ball, so he has no sense of presence.

But as soon as he stands in the bottom corner, the Celtics have to deploy people to watch, otherwise his three-pointer is no joke.

Cousins ​​couldn't see through this, and the second half of the game began not long after.

The Celtics started the offense with a double-digit gap.

Rondo holds the ball and plays with Brandon Bass.

Bass is big enough to set up powerful pick-and-rolls for him, and Rondo is not a shooting threat, so Holiday doesn't worry about him shooting when he is free.

The defense is mainly based on follow-up, as long as he doesn't let him shoot, he can say anything.

Rondo advances halfway, hits the ground and passes the ball back to Bass.

They played the most common tactics of the Celtics, and Bass hit a mid-range shot.

52 is better than 64
After scoring a goal, it is still a double-digit point difference.

Wei Xia rarely dribbled the ball through the half court. Cousins ​​​​did not see his gesture to pick and roll, and rarely faced Garnett. Thinking of the opponent's famous defense, he wanted to play.

"Wish!" he yelled, leaning on Garnett and waving.

Just like many new generation stars who want to prove themselves, the easiest way is to let these older generation superstars see their strength.

Cousins ​​turned around and shot. Garnett's blocker seriously violated the cylinder, and the home court could not provide shelter. Cousins' ball hit the board when the whistle sounded!

If they don't admit it, they have to admit that the context of the times has already passed by them along with the old man time, and jumped onto Wei Xia's generation.
