Chapter 46 I Hate Pierce
The truth is this, but Li Yue is still not interested.

He felt that there was nothing to tell about his growth history, he was ordinary, neither a genius nor suffered too many hardships.

Taylor thinks that doesn't matter, just make up a few things, such as having a conflict with his parents and then happily reconciling.

This statement makes sense when you hear it suddenly, but when you think about it carefully, it is nothing more than setting up a person to please the mainstream crowd, flaunting that he is a good man with a job and a family, and occasionally getting drunk late at night, or going to a concert , talk to people about how to prevent global warming, prove that you have the same hobbies as the mainstream people,
Li Yue thinks that his talent in this area is limited. After all, besides playing basketball, he is a young man who chases dramas and plays games every week. There is no need to pretend to be himself in order to please others. If he becomes like Anne Hathaway, it will be even worse. ?

After much deliberation, he decided to give up.

Taylor was quite depressed, and asked him what kind of TV show he wanted to participate in, so that he could make arrangements in the future.

Li Yue said that he prefers talk shows, preferably ones that can make people laugh, and the atmosphere should not be too serious.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yue's interest in playing Dota disappeared without a trace. He opened the data website to analyze the technical characteristics of the Celtics players. The first object was Pierce, who claimed to be able to completely lock himself.

At first glance, Pierce’s defensive efficiency this season is 102, which is not bad alone. After all, he is tied with many players in the league at 42, but compared to Paul George’s 97, Durant’s 100, and LeBron’s 101, the gap is quite large. .

None of the three of them were completely locked up. Where did Pierce get the courage?
Is there really a secret, like Deron playing Paul, Tianke?
Putting aside the suspicion of slapstick, Li Yue couldn't find a reasonable explanation for the time being, so he could only continue to study and analyze.

Looking at Pierce's personal data up to the 12-13 season, and combining years of personal impressions and news reports, Li Yue suddenly thought that there is someone who is very similar to Pierce, and that is Zhang He from Three Kingdoms!

Speaking of Zhang He, anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that one of Cao Cao's five sons of good generals is absolutely famous.

However, counting down the results feels so-so, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao took turns beating violently, and even Huang Zhong did it!

But Zhang Xi is Xiaoqiang and originally strong, and he lived from the Yellow Turban Uprising until Sima Yi came to power.

These things can almost find a corresponding point in Pierce.

First of all, Pierce has been in the NBA for more than ten years. From Jordan's second time to LeBron's decision, many players were killed. The first half of his career was in a state of abuse, and the second half began to enter the public's view of fans.

Secondly, Pierce lacks personal honor. So far in his career, he has only had one FMVP. Most of the reasons why he can get it is that he has played for the Celtics for a longer period of time than Garnett. starter.

In the end, Pierce's single-game masterpiece is almost zero, but he often becomes the background board of the star's highlight moments. From Kobe, McGrady Iverson, to Wade LeBron Howard, the rare return of the G1 king in the finals is extremely suspected because of diarrhea.

Of course, there is no doubt that Pierce is a star player, able to withstand critical moments, and the title of 'truth' is worthy of the name.

After analyzing Pierce, Li Yue continued to analyze the Celtics' newly promoted defensive champion Avery Bradley.

The time soon came to ten o'clock, he stopped analyzing, and logged on to QQ to leave a message for his parents to share today's interesting stories.

...

NO.19 In the morning, Li Yue took advantage of his free time, explained to the coaching staff, and then took a taxi to Chinatown in downtown Boston.

It is the third largest Chinese community in the United States, and you can eat many authentic Chinese dishes. He just wanted to have breakfast.

He didn't announce on Twitter in advance, and deliberately put on a hooded sweater to cover his face, intending to keep a low profile.

But as soon as he walked into the block, he was recognized by a group of students who were about to go to school, and they shouted excitedly around him.

After signing a group photo, he walked into a Cantonese-style breakfast restaurant and ordered two fried rice noodles. The boss insisted on free.

During the meal, many residents came to the store to watch one after another, and he had a cordial conversation with everyone and took a group photo.

When he was leaving, several residents said that they would go to the North Shore Garden to watch him play at night, which made him very happy.

Then he left Chinatown, went to Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology for sightseeing, and experienced the style of world-class famous schools.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the entire Lakers team arrived at the North Shore Garden Arena in a dedicated bus.

As soon as he stepped into the stadium, Li Yue recalled the anecdote he had read on various small websites before: the Celtics home floor has traps, and there is almost no flexibility in some areas, and only the home team players know the specific location.

He was suddenly full of curiosity, patted the basketball and moved slowly, trying to cover every piece of the floor, patiently and meticulously felt the rebound of the basketball when it hit the floor, and tested whether there were really areas with low elasticity.

But he just took a few steps and realized that this kind of behavior is too stupid, how could there be a floor with low elasticity?
The home and away teams switched venues in the first and second half, and the Celtics players would use almost every floor. If the floor elasticity is really low, given the intensity of the fierce confrontation in the game, even if they know where they are, there is a high probability that they will hit the floor. trick.

The key point is that this setting will affect the offensive thinking of the Celtics players. Originally, there was space in the left elbow area to break through. As a result, where the floor elasticity is too low, it is easy to make mistakes and have to change directions. It is completely self-defeating.

After figuring this out, Li Yue smiled and officially warmed up for shooting.

After finishing the routine, he walked up to Kobe and asked for tips on playing against Pierce.

Kobe said that Pierce is physically strong and experienced, and his footwork is relatively flexible. He suggested that he increase the number of times he used his speed to make strong breakthroughs.

After Kobe finished speaking, Artest took the initiative to make suggestions, emphasizing that he must use his age advantage to consume Pierce's physical strength through a lot of personal contact, making the opponent feel irritable on both offensive and defensive ends.

Li Yue readily accepted, after all, Artest's defense against Pierce in the 10-year finals was excellent.

...

The time soon came to [-] pm, the pre-match ceremony was completed, and the game between the two teams was about to start.

On the Lakers bench, head coach D'Antoni is making the final arrangements.

"They're a slow team, and we can disrupt their rhythm by picking up speed, making them unable to play at a familiar rhythm, increasing their chances of making mistakes, and then using those mistakes to play defense..."

After 2 minutes in a row, Li Yue finally finished speaking. Li Yue nodded and turned around to leave. Artest suddenly grabbed him.

"You must help me beat Pierce violently. I may have less time to play against him tonight."

"Wow, do you really have personal hatred?" Li Yue asked curiously, after all, there was almost a fight in the finals that year.

Artest waved his hand, "It's not about hatred, but I hate Paul Pierce."
