Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 226 The Inhuman Lineup!

In the era of the Celtics' twin stars, Pierce had just finished playing, and Walker was replaced.

Fathead Snake's offense is very simple, outside the three-point line, pull the ball and shoot furiously...

Duncan didn't expand his defense, and Jackson interfered in the past.

Bang-dang-!
The three-pointer missed.

Walker likes to take three-point shots. This season, he will average 8 three-point shots per game, with a hit rate of 34%. Whether he feels good or not, the offensive firepower he shows, one day, one place.

The rebound was taken by Duncan. The Celtics finished their offense and quickly retreated back.

On the defensive end, shrink up and guard the penalty area. The purpose is very clear, that is, to compete with the Magic for shooting.

Kidd saw through the Celtics' tactical intentions, did not follow their wishes, and continued to play.

He crushed Nick Anderson with his back and stepped into the sweet spot of shooting step by step.

Kidd is a 'base does not attack' true, such a short distance, Tony Batty can only save.

Then, O'Neal's basket was scored again.

6 to 2! !
Not every team is as happy as Iverson, protected by the "four guarantees and one" tactic.

Nick Anderson'183''s defensive failure can only rely on the consciousness of his teammates and his own efforts.

Facing a top player like Kidd, his defensive weakness will be infinitely magnified.

With a point break, the Celtics couldn't protect the basket.

Offensively.

It's Pierce's turn to attack with the ball.

The three threats flashed, Jackson jumped out to interfere, and Pierce started a breakthrough. When Jackson retreated back and was about to attack his teammates, Pierce had already pulled the ball up and raised his hand to complete a two-point shot...

Swish-!
At the peak, Pierce is very good at mid-range shooting, with a shooting rate of 46%. It doesn't look high. He is still 26 million points away from two-point peak hits. He can get an average of 40 points per game. The strongest is the three-pointer. [-]% shooting rate at the peak of his career.

With range, accuracy, and the ability to sway others, it's hard to improve the data.

6 to 4! !
Looking back, Kidd gave the ball to Duncan.

When Duncan received the ball, Li Mu knew it was safe.

Walker only likes offense, and defense only uses his mind to defend.

The technology and awareness are bad, which is not important. The most important thing is that Walker is no better.

Duncan's offense was unstoppable.

Boom, swish—!
Relying on his height advantage, he hit the board with two points.

Duncan's height of 2 meters and Walker's height of 13 meters have an absolute dislocation advantage.

8 to 4! !
To be reasonable, Walker also knows how bad his defense is. If he scored two points, he would not be selected as an All-Star.

Only by shooting three-pointers can you highlight your offensive ability without highlighting your defensive problems.

Catch the ball, make no adjustments, and make another three-point shot...

Bang-dang-!
"Antoine Walker didn't bring a three-point shooting skill package tonight, so he's strong again." Mike Breen shook his head.

"Can't make shots, can't defend, the upper limit of this Celtics team is not high!

Still, that's what the Celtics picked.

In some ways, Walker is still very similar to Larry Bird. "

The Celtics have been copying themselves, trying to copy the homework of the Larry Bird era, but there is only one "Big Bird", forcing the "Big Bird", and the injury can only be carried by themselves.

Next, the Celtics lost their defense inside and Pierce was superb in attacking. Walker was undercover, and the point difference between the two sides gradually widened.

Kidd at the peak is too strong, there is always a way, pass a good ball, assist his teammates to score.

However, the personal abilities of his teammates are simply beyond imagination.

Nick Anderson is not enough to watch in front of Kidd.

The height flaw was targeted, and he fell behind every step of the way. There was nothing he could do about Kidd.

At the same time, Duncan took care of Walker very easily.

McGrady has almost become a spectator, and the advantages he has established are not lacking at all.

After the first quarter, the score was 36 to 23, and the Magic took a 13-point lead.

Pierce made 7 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and hit a three-pointer. He scored 13 points in a single quarter, which didn't make the Celtics' score worse.

However, the gap is very obvious.

In the second quarter, Li Mu kept Kidd, Tracy McGrady and O'Neal on the court.

Bring on Reed and Magloire.

The head coach of the Celtics has an ugly face. Is there any way to change the rotation lineup of the new scorer + first point guard?

No way, Pierce and Eric Williams continued to fight.

Bring on Tony Delk, Eric Strickland and Vitali Potapanko.

The game is on.

Kidd was a little surprised.

Don't ask, ask even Tony Delk is '183' too.

It is still the main bargaining chip in the trade of Joe Johnson.

The idea that the Celtics want to enhance the point guard position is a good idea, but this operation is a bit rough.

If it's just to deal with Iverson, then it's unnecessary.

After Iverson in 01, it has become a thing of the past.

So, Kidd continued to blast Tony Delk, hit the sweet spot of the shot, turned back and scored two points.

38 to 23! !
Tony Delk and Vitali Potapanko played a pick-and-roll.

Then, Tony Delk played his "183" speed advantage, went to the basket and scored two points.

38 to 25! !
Tony Delk is a little short, and his offensive explosiveness is still very fierce.

The Magic attack.

McGrady holds the ball, breaks through, makes an emergency stop, and makes a two-pointer over Pierce...

Pierce slowed down.

Even if he wasn't slow, he still couldn't reach McGrady's outstanding physical talent.

Swish-!
40 to 23! !
"If Pierce is technical, McGrady is physical talent.

The attack of the two is unstoppable. "Marv Albert commented.

On the field.

The wind direction of the game continues to fall to the Magic. This is the absolute strength of the lineup, which is quite incomprehensible.

In addition to the unstoppableness of Kidd and Tracy McGrady, O'Neal played power forward, and Eric Williams couldn't hold his head up.

Jermaine O'Neal's offensive method is very simple, that is, a jumper. He pulls up on Eric Williams and bullies people with his height.

Then, just wait for the pie.

The game presented a one-sided situation.

The Celtics coach can only replace Walker.

Fortunately, Walker felt like he had a three-point shot, and suddenly the wind picked up and he hit three-pointers in a row.

The Magic had a rebounding advantage, and Reed also hit a three-pointer.

The two sides entered a confrontational situation.

At the end of the second quarter, the point difference between the two sides has been widened to 22 points.

And this is because Pierce has continued to output, Walker's three-point firepower output in the second quarter, so he was not beaten.

The suspense of the game has been lost.

Game back in the third quarter.

Li Mu continued to release the starting lineup, and when the point difference widened to 30 points, he slowly rotated.

Tony Parker, Reid, Maggette and other players also got a lot of training time.

Li Mu was very surprised.

You know, the Celtics finished third in the Eastern Conference in the 01/02 season and reached the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs.

It can be said to be the only flash of Gemini.

I didn't expect him to be so careless.

In the past few years, the Eastern Theater has become much weaker than Li Mu imagined.

hum~
With the sound of the buzzer, the game time is over.

With a score of 128 to 101, the Magic beat the Celtics by 27 points and won 8 consecutive victories in the new season.

Walker scored 33 points and 10 rebounds, Pierce scored 26 points and 8 rebounds, and the Gemini scored 6 points for the team. They performed very well, but they still lost the game.

基德21分13助攻5篮板3盖帽2抢断，他也不想的，可以一直碰上“183”，他也没办法表现不好。

邓肯29分14篮板，麦迪21分5篮板，小奥尼尔也有19分进账……

With an inhumane lineup, the Celtics did not suffer unjustly.
