NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 127 The traitor Paul Pierce

Before the game started, the media reporter asked Zhu Wan again: "Do you think this game is an important game in your opinion?"

Zhu Wan thought for a while, and said: "In my opinion, this game is very important, but it's not because Paul Pierce is the opponent in this game. Even in the draft, the Celtics used him as a bargaining chip to get the second pick in the first round from the Nuggets. But there is one thing. In terms of my performance so far, I have surpassed his rookie season by too much!"

"No one can say the Celtics made a mistake by picking me at No. [-]!"

"I have proved what I should prove, so when I meet Paul Pierce, what kind of performance I play will not change anything. Even if I am really suppressed by him in the game against him, it does not mean that it is a wrong thing to exchange me with him. After all, we are the fourth in the Eastern Conference!"

"What's more... I don't think he can suppress my performance!"

Zhu Wan rarely said a long paragraph, and he wanted to express two points: first, he has proved himself; second, the reason he thinks is important in this game has nothing to do with Paul Pierce!
"This is the first game for me to be elected as the ticket queen of the first stage, and it is also the first game of the new year. I hope to win this game with a victory!"

"These are the real reasons why I define this game as an important one!"

These words quickly reached Paul Pierce's ears, and he just said three words: Master laughed!
"He is really an arrogant guy!"

Now he fully affirms this!
"Let's wait and see what happens in this game!"

Paul Pierce, who had already planned to do a big job, was even more motivated now.

In fact, Zhu Wan also knew that these words he said would definitely arouse Paul Pierce's fighting spirit, but from the moment "Cardinal" selected him to Boston, he and Paul Pierce were destined to be compared all the time, and Paul Pierce's character, I am afraid that he would have to hold back and fuck him long ago.

Then what is there to be afraid of!

Say whatever you want!
It's just that, when he entered the scene, he was booed by the audience. The Nuggets ranked fifth in the Western Conference this season and returned to the ranks of the playoffs. For Denver fans who haven't tasted the playoffs for many years, they are very satisfied with the team's operations this summer.

As the leader of the team, Paul Pierce is naturally the favorite of Denver fans.

As a person who has conflicts with him, Zhu Wan came to the Pepsi Center Arena, how can he be easily spared?

This is absolutely impossible!

It's a pity that such a big boo had little effect. Zhu Wan hit one shot after another with a calm demeanor. It seems that he is in great condition!

This guy's mentality is really good!

Kiki Vandeweghe also came to the scene today. He appeared on the sidelines to help Paul Pierce. Before the game, he emphasized many times that even though Juwan performed well in his rookie season, he did not regret trading Paul Pierce with the second pick in the first round.

Paul Pierce is in very hot form this season, averaging 25.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. As Mashburn just suffered a major injury and was reimbursed for the season, he seems to have the momentum to become the league's number one small forward!

Coupled with the current fifth ranking of the Nuggets in the Western Conference, Kiki Vandeweghe does have reasons not to regret it...

what?
Do you really think that if the record is compared, the Celtics rank fourth in the Eastern Conference better than the Nuggets?
Then you also look at the record!

The Nuggets won 3 more games than the Celtics. If this were placed in the East, they would be tied for third with the Pistons...

Do you understand what is meant by "the west is strong and the east is weak"!

And when Paul Pierce came on stage amidst the sound of the DJ's introduction, Kiki Vandeweghe, like all the other fans at the scene, gave out huge cheers to welcome the appearance of "Denver's new king" Paul Pierce!
Paul Pierce came out with a sullen expression, and unconsciously glanced at the Celtics auditorium... He didn't find the figure of the guy, and looked towards the other side of the field. The guy actually continued to shoot under the dim light, and it seemed that his hit rate was not low. He made several shots in a row before missing one!
This ability to resist interference factors...

Looks like this guy is in great shape tonight!

Seeing this, Paul Pierce muttered something in his heart.

There was also some seriousness on his face.

But it's just a little more dignified... You're playing at your best, so there's no reason for you to lose!
Paul Pierce is still very confident in his abilities!
Zhu Wan didn't know that Paul Pierce was staring at him at this moment, and he was still shooting, thinking about making his hand feel more stable, so that the game could enter the state earlier.

Although he said "I don't think he can suppress me", Zhu Wan still knows that Paul Pierce, the future "offensive kaleidoscope", still has a few tricks!
Why do you say it is the "offensive kaleidoscope" of the future?
Don't get me wrong, his offensive skills are quite comprehensive now. The reason why no one calls him that at this time is very simple... No one pays attention to him!
Even though he was an All-Star forward in the East last season, you must know that apart from him, the forward positions in the East are all "jumping men" waiting to be "fed", or a reckless man like Artest. His average of 25 points per game is too conspicuous to choose him. If you let Nowitzki go to the East, it will not be his turn to take the starting forward position.

In terms of topic and playing style, he really belongs to the powerful player who is easy to be forgotten...

Speaking of which, as long as he has McGrady's talent and playing style, the "Cardinal" may not be willing to use him for the second pick in the first round!
But this kind of powerful players are often the most difficult to deal with, Zhu Wan must warm up seriously!
After all, all the words have been released, this game will not be suppressed by Paul Pierce!
The game will officially start soon.

Kiki Vandeweghe looked at the starting lineup he formed this summer: No. [-] Andre Miller, No. [-] Voshan Leonard, No. [-] Paul Pierce, No. [-] Nene, No. [-] Marcus Camby...

Miller, who has won the league's "Assist King", is definitely the first position with the best cost performance at this stage. Leonard is a good wing defender at the second position. He can help Paul Pierce share the defensive pressure and let the latter concentrate on the offensive end. Nene and Camby are also good defense players.
I really know football!
Kiki Vandeweghe couldn't help boasting to himself in his heart.

But watching the Celtics play, he suddenly cursed softly: "Damn Auerbach!"

Originally, this lineup could have been more reasonable, because he had already negotiated with the general manager of the Nets to trade Kenyon Martin. He added Marcus Camby and Nene. , It can also give the Nuggets a solid bench to rely on.

Now... what a pity!
Sure enough, life is made up of imperfections.

Forget it, don't think about it, Paul, fuck the green guys hard!
Today, he came to the scene not only to stand for Paul Pierce, but also to watch the Nuggets kill the Celtics with his own eyes!

It'll give him the feeling he's won over Auerbach...

As a general manager, who doesn't want to win Auerbach once!

Tyson Chandler successfully jumped the ball in his hands amid the boos, and after playing the Warriors, his jump ball success rate is 100%!

Obviously, as long as the opponent is not Yao Ming, he is very confident!
Although Marcus Camby was the No. 96 pick in [-].

But who is not the second pick in the first round!
The ball is in the hands of Atkins and quickly given to Wade. Wade moves in the direction of Juwan. It seems that he wants to cross and run outside the three-point line.

More importantly, due to the tacit understanding between these two people, the opponent generally needs to switch defenses to complete the rapid blockade in the first time. The problem is that it looks like a change in the second and third positions, but the problem is that Zhu Wan is 2 meters tall. After 06 years, he is the height of a center.

This can be said to be a sufficient misalignment for the second position, who is generally between 196 and 198 in height!

And this trick solved Wade's transition from organizer to attacker very well!

Of course, it is also because Zhu Wanxue Larry Bird's off-ball support has temporarily encountered a bottleneck. Except for specific positions, his off-ball support is not very effective.

This trick is a compromise!

However, the most important thing is that this trick is really effective, otherwise, it would not be possible for the Celtics to become the current ace tactic...

It was the first time that the Nuggets faced the Celtics' "great stunt", and they were really fooled. When Leonard, who was 1 meters tall, stood in front of Zhu Wan, who was 96 meters tall, his face was full of words, "How should I defend to prevent this guy?"
With a big head, bigger question marks floated out slowly.

Before he had time to send the "sos" distress signal to his teammates, Zhu Wan had already shot at him.

With a "swish", the ball simply entered the frame!
At this time, Leonard just made a gesture of reaching out...

Obviously there was no disturbance at all.

The 10cm height difference is visible to the naked eye, but the difference between him and Zhu Wan is the 15cm difference in wingspan!
"It's so easy!"

"The Nuggets obviously don't know yet. Facing the Celtics, you must not let Juwan face the second position so easily. He will slap his opponent so nakedly!"

Kenny Smith has commented on Juwan's so many games. From the beginning, he lamented his abnormality of such a strong shot, but now he has become accustomed to it.

Miller took the ball in the back court and slowly dribbled through halftime. "Karen Karen", who can't sing "Cloudy Sky", is a master of organization.With a command at the top of the arc, he took the opportunity to drive the ball to the basket and score easily!

Hmm... Miller under the banner of the organization is also a small breakthrough expert.

Later, in 2010, the 34-year-old Andre Miller used the banner of the organization to rush into the paint time and time again, scoring, and finally scored a full 52 points in the entire game!
It is worth mentioning that among the 52 points, only 3 points came from outside the three-point line. Yes, he made only one 3-pointer in the whole game, and the remaining 49 points were all obtained by him breaking through the basket again and again!
As for the "background board" is the Mavericks. Standing opposite Miller is Kidd, who is known as "the base does not attack". Kidd in 2010 is not too old. After all, he also helped the team win the championship in 2011.

But he still let Miller rush to the basket again and again to complete the goal.

It can be seen that Miller's breakthrough has his sophistication.

The most common thing is just like this round, to organize the offense in a serious manner, and then suddenly break through to the basket to score, which is almost becoming his "nirvana", which has been tried and tested!
O'Brien didn't say anything, he's used to Atkins being a hole on the defensive end.

You can't expect anything from him other than dribbling, and you're only hurting yourself.

If you want Zhuwan to say, Atkins should really learn from Fisher, at least put on a show, pull up your trouser legs or something, so at least in the eyes of the head coach, you are also doing your best...

When you are not capable enough, you have to learn to "do your best", which will allow you to stay in a team for a long time, and even become the favorite of a legendary head coach - Derek Fisher.

This is the biggest difference between "tramp" Atkins and Fisher!

Or he is a "gold medal role player"!

what?
You said that Fisher is still a player with a big heart, and once completed the "miracle" of killing the Spurs in 0.4 seconds?
Hmm... let's put it this way, is there a player in this league who can complete a shot in 0.4 seconds?

There must be!
But definitely not Fisher, so you get the point?

Otherwise, why the lore ended, Fisher went straight back to the locker room!
The Celtics continued to play Wade and Juwan's cross-over running tactics outside the three-point line. The Nuggets did not dare to switch defenses easily this time. Paul Pierce was very clever and chose to squeeze through the two, but in this way, he was tantamount to creating a natural barrier for Wade.

Leonard had already seen the taillights of the car, but with Pierce's "cover", he fell behind by 3 positions and could only watch Wade rush into the lane.

Camby took a look and didn't go forward. Nene saw that he couldn't go up, so he had to go up by himself, but Wade's layup ahead of time forced him not to take a shot, and the ball went smoothly.

Nene complained to Leonard that the quality of his first defense was too poor, and they couldn't defend against Wade rushing into the paint like this!
Leonard looked at Paul Pierce: Brother, isn't this a very important game for you?Why are you still a traitor?
Paul Pierce pretended not to see it.

I mean well!

I am so kind!
Can "doing bad things with good intentions" be called "traitors"?

As for defense, how can...

He started aggressively asking for the ball on the Nuggets' offense.

There is no way, I made a mistake, I have to make up for it quickly!
Juwan defended the first time he held the ball. He didn't switch defenses with Wade. Although both Wade and O'Brien asked Juwan before the game whether they should switch defenses in this game, he refused.

The reason is also very simple. Paul Pierce plays "floor flow", and Zhu Wan is more afraid of physical flow, such as LeBron James and Wade. Carmelo Anthony is also counted now, but after a few years When he becomes "melon", he can only be counted as half.

Paul Pierce was a little unhappy watching Juwan approaching him. Although Juwan and Wade's three-point crossing tactic was recently developed, the Nuggets did not guard against it. However, "Once there is a tricky third position on the opposite side, Wade usually switches defenses with Juwan." This is what the Nuggets noticed early on.

The head coach also specifically emphasized to Paul Pierce that it is very likely that Dwyane Wade will defend in this game, and be careful of his strength and explosiveness.

As a result... what are you talking about?
Is it wrong to take a super scorer who averages more than 25 points per game?

Paul Pierce got angry, he pouted his ass and greeted Juwan.

He wants to use his strongest "ultimate move"!
It's just that Zhu Wan's reaction was somewhat unexpected... What does that expectant smile on his face mean?
Don't take my big butt as a big butt?
Or do you not know how big my butt is?

No matter which one it is, Paul Pierce is undoubtedly more popular!

But is Zhu Wanneng not excited?

After all... this is playing ass!
It is no exaggeration to say that unless Barkley comes back at his peak, he is not afraid of anyone in the league now!

No one knows big butt better than me!
Paul Pierce is also considered to be a good player in the big butt, but in Zhu Wan's view, he is still not enough in front of him. He is in the big butt of the NBA today, that is Wang Xianzhi of the East China Sea. Because Wang Xianzhi admires Li Chungang, he calls himself "the second in the world".

But he is the second, who can be the first?

Paul Pierce also quickly discovered that this kid was good at defensive backs. He searched for a long time, but he couldn't find a "favorite" who could shake Zhu Wan's center of gravity.

Fortunately, he still has steps!
However, the steps...

Hmph, it's not Zhu Wan, and I don't see whose apprentice he is!
In terms of footwork, he is that guy, forget it, Tim Duncan is still there, he should be humble first.

Paul Pierce added a change in his footsteps, and his movements suddenly increased a lot, but Zhu Wan saw his tricks and kept pestering him, preventing him from easily turning around and making jump shots.

Post-up singles, to put it bluntly, the essence is in the last turn-around jumper. The previous moves and the use of big buttocks are nothing more than creating space for this shot.

Therefore, Zhu Wan, who has been taught by so many masters, knows very well how to guard against his back!

It's really hard for Paul Pierce to play well in front of him!

If Ju Wan saw his defense from the perspective of a bystander, he would definitely nod in satisfaction: It's like Leonard's "death entanglement"...

"Dangdang!"

In the end, Paul Pierce twisted left and right and couldn't make room. He wanted to pass the ball, but Juwan stood behind him. After playing singles for so long, he felt embarrassed.

Can only be forced to shoot.

But the difficulty is too great!

Zhu Wan stuck behind him, his arm span interfered, it was really too powerful...

But Nene grabbed the offensive rebound.

The future "Yiyi Warrior" is still very brave to grab offensive rebounds at the basket. The original him later became the Rockets' best fifth position after Dayao.

It's just that the Celtics can grab offensive rebounds, but you have to shoot under the basket after grabbing them. This is somewhat disrespectful to the arms of Chris Anderson and Tyson Chandler.

"Snapped!"

The two of them worked together to stop Nene's second attack.

Zhu Wan went to get the ball close to him, and Paul Pierce, who was eager to get back the field, defended close to him, trying to force Zhu Wan to make a mistake by pressing close to him.

After all, he is a rookie, and he hasn't really felt the intensity of the NBA yet!
But when Zhuwan sensed his intentions, he made a fake catch for the first time when he approached, forcing Pierce to quickly go around and fight for it. He himself moved sideways and easily opened up space with Paul Pierce. Now he caught the ball and strode towards the frontcourt.

Then it's "following".

At the same time as being hit by Pierce, Zhu Wan quickly shot the ball, and the ball went out for thousands of miles.

But in the eyes of referees who haven't seen James Harden and Tre Young's shots, this...is a shot...right?

Some referees were hesitating, and some referees blew their whistles directly.

"Nuggets No. 34 defensive foul, Celtics No. 13 three free throws!"

"Shut up!"

There was a huge boo at the scene.

They were obviously dissatisfied with the referee's decision.

Zhu Wan smiled and made a "listen" gesture towards the auditorium. The guy who made this gesture famous before was Allen Iverson, and now this gesture is almost becoming Juwan's signature celebration gesture.

The slightly different thing is that Allen Iverson is jogging while raising his hand to listen with "one ear", while Juwan stands at the place where the booing is the loudest, showing a cheap look, and listens with "both ears".

If you really want to talk about the degree of beating, it is obvious that Zhu Wan is even more beating!
The fans of the Nuggets couldn't help throwing mineral water bottles...

"Man, are you in such a hurry just to foul?"

After taunting the fans, Juwan didn't forget to spout trash talk at Paul Pierce before receiving the ball.

Paul Pierce was in an embarrassment. He just "screened" for Wade with his front foot, and sent Juwan three free throws with his back foot.

Am I an undercover agent?

Now even Paul Pierce doubted himself a little.

But he didn't admit defeat: "Little bitch, don't be complacent!"

Zhu Wan responded to his shouts with three consecutive basketball swipes.

For him, free throws are really no different from sending points!
The point difference came to four points.

Paul Pierce continued to ask for the ball, and muttered while dribbling in front of Zhu Wan: "You can't guard me, Xiao Biaozi, I know, you can't guard me, I'll score this goal in front of you, you can't guard me, I know!"

"Are you going to vote or not, my dear?"

Zhu Wan listened to his trash talk and shook his head slightly.

Paul Pierce is definitely a trash talker, but of all the trash talkers, he's definitely the worst trash talker.

It's just some repetitive trash talk...

This is not only Zhu Wan's complaint, but also many brick experts: "This guy just likes to talk trash."

But at the same time that Juwan complained, Paul Pierce suddenly raised his hand. The range of this movement is very large. If it is an ordinary defender, he may be directly thrown away.

Zhu Wan mainly shakes others like this every day, and he has already taken precautions against it. Although "venomous snakes can poison themselves", the problem is that Zhu Wan also has excellent wingspan, which allows him to come first, and he has also developed a good habit of letting others jump first.

Therefore, although he raised his hand and did not take off, but because he was closer to Pierce, the other hand directly touched the ball.

Paul Pierce subconsciously raised his hand again, but was "robbed" by Juwan.

At this decision, Pierce and Juwan were both stunned.

Groove, am I broken?
Huh, I got it?

Another fast-break opportunity, the Celtics passing the ball to each other, the Nuggets once again getting holes in their passes, and the ball goes in.

"Marcus, get on top! Why do you keep backing away?"

The head coach of the Nuggets cursed.

Camby pouted slightly.

This is not an excellent opportunity to block shots, why should I go up?

After leaving the Knicks, Camby's mentality has undergone a huge change.

And, what am I doing?
Shouldn't you be talking about that guy?
"You should think about who gave the ball to that guy!"

In the eyes of outsiders, the ball seemed to be "sent" to Juwan by Paul Pierce himself.Among them is Marquis Camby.

He saw with his own eyes that Paul Pierce gave the ball to Juwan, but Juwan didn't want it, and he forced it into someone else's arms.

Zhu Wan also followed up and added fire: "Yes, Paul Pierce gave me this ball!"

This pissed off Paul Pierce!
But no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't fight back at this time.

He could only blindly ask Miller for the ball: "Give me, give me, I'll fuck him!"

In so many games since the beginning of the new season, Paul Pierce has always asked for the ball, and he will give it to him, but in this game, after the first three rounds, for some reason, Miller didn't want to give it...

Bao, let’s talk about this goal, you are destined to score it, right?

He asked Paul Pierce with a look.

Paul Pierce is also in a hurry at the moment, stop talking nonsense, brother, give me, I have to find my place again!

With such a firm attitude, Miller could only give the ball.

But the two of them made such eye contact, it was indeed a little bit like Zhu Wan didn't exist.

Miller finally passed the ball, and Zhu Wan also saw his passing action. At the same time as he released the ball, he stepped forward quickly and picked up the ball.

Another quick break...

"How many times have you sent the ball to my hand?"

Zhu Wan asked the camera on the sidelines.

The close-up had Celtics fans in front of the TV cheering excitedly.

Some excited bearded fans even crushed the beer cans in their hands.

"Wuhu!"

Coupled with this fast break, the Celtics started off with a wave of 9-2 scoring!

Most importantly, the person leading this wave of scoring is Juwan, who they expect to play well today.

I thought it would be a tough fight tonight.

After all, Paul Pierce is indeed a stubble.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Wan blasted him from the very beginning!
Blow him up like a traitor!
"Are you still giving me the ball?"

Juwan asked Paul Pierce sincerely.

I send you Magebies!
Paul Pierce whispered something in his heart.

He obviously wanted to give a response very seriously...

But thinking about it this way, he felt even more wronged!
Well, it's no wonder that he was so serious, and ended up being called a traitor. Can he not be wronged!

Miller didn't dare to give the ball to Paul Pierce now.

But he thought it would not be easy to play by himself, because O'Brien had changed his formation and used Wade to defend Miller.

Facing Wade, who is physically fit, Miller made a sneak attack like he did just now, but it was not so easy.

The Nuggets have stagnated on the offensive end. There is no way, the head coach can only call a timeout.

Such a timeout was played in less than 3 minutes, and the Celtics were so excited that they celebrated each other, hugged and collided again!
But I'm so excited for these guys.

But Zhu Wan said loudly: "There's nothing to be excited about. After all, we're six against four. It's normal to have such a situation!"

This pissed off Paul Pierce, who was walking off the court, and excitedly wanted to argue with Zhu Wan, but he didn't come to Zhu Wan after walking for a long time.

Just cursing across the referee's bench.

Marcus Camby couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to push him.

He obviously pushed forward, but Paul Pierce went straight to the bench.

Walking to the bench, he waved at Camby: "If Marquis hadn't been pulled by you, I would never have let him go!"

You pull it down!

Marcus Camby glanced at him, and said in his heart: I thought my current style of play was brazen enough, but I didn't expect that there are people in this world who are more brazen than me!
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have pushed him...

"Paul Pierce's game was obviously studied by Juwan!"

"And judging from this game, Juwan is very good at dealing with Pierce's type of players!"

"Of course, this is also normal. After all, in terms of back-up skills, he can be said to be one of the best players in the league... After all, he was trained by me, Charles Barkley!"

Barkley seized the opportunity to boast big.

However, he was right. Zhuwan really relied on the skills he taught to judge Paul Pierce's offensive tendency, so that he could successfully restrict him!
Of course, the knowledge points of those footsteps taught by Olajuwon must also be added.

However, it is naturally impossible for Barkley to mention Olajuwon, the guy who wants to compete with him for his successor!
It is even more impossible to speak for him!

　I went to my father-in-law’s house today, the first day was more than expected, and I didn’t have time until evening, so, today is only 8 words.
