Chapter 140 You Are Really Bad

Looking at Pierce in front of him, Yang Ke was not surprised at all. The Celtics, like the Spurs, are a team that emphasizes defense, and they will not be easily broken by the defense like the Nuggets.

Yang Ke immediately lowered his arms, dispelling the idea of ​​shooting a three-pointer.Although Pierce's defense is not good because of his defensive awareness, Yang Ke is still not prepared to single him out forcibly, so his teammates now have better and easier opportunities to attack.

boom!
With a movement of his wrist, the basketball flew out of Yang Ke's hand and bounced once on the floor. Relying on the angle and the opposite force, the basketball flew towards Leonard.

With a stretch of his right hand, Leonard firmly held the ball. Facing Rondo, who came from the defense, he relied on his own physical advantages to carry Rondo into the inside line with a stride, and stopped at the free throw line. , and hit a jumper in situ.

The tie was broken again, and the home fans immediately cheered, while Popovich nodded on the sidelines, as if he was very satisfied with this offensive round.

The offense and defense switched, and it was the turn of the Celtics to attack again. Rondo quickly took the ball across the half court, but stopped on the outside, dribbling the ball unhurriedly.

"Rookie, the timing of the pass just now was good, but the choice of the route is too bad."

Since the score was very close and the game didn't last long, Rondo wasn't in a hurry at all. While controlling the ball very relaxedly, he spat trash talk at Yang Ke.

Lowering the center of gravity of his body and opening his arms slightly, Yang Ke stared at Rondo expressionlessly to prevent his sudden attack. As for the trash talk in his ear, Yang Ke chose to ignore it.

"Watch carefully, rookie."

Rondo tilted his head, and stared at Yang Ke calmly, regardless of whether he cared or not, he continued on his own.

boom!
Five or six seconds later, as the frequency of shaking his shoulders suddenly accelerated, Rondo started to activate and launched an attack.

Since Rondo and Yang Ke are both speed players, and Yang Ke adopts a defensive attitude of letting go and not letting go, the two quickly entangled into the three-point line.When near the paint area, although he did not get rid of Yang Ke's defense, Rondo still started a three-step layup.

This is?

At this moment, Yang Ke suddenly noticed that Rondo's dribbling rhythm suddenly slowed down a lot, and his eyes kept looking at his teammates who were in the opposite direction of his breakthrough route.

In the next second, when Rondo received the ball and took the first step, he leaned on his wide right palm and held the ball with one hand, with half of his body facing Yang Ke, his shoulders opened, and his right hand pulled back violently to the left side of his body. .

Pass the ball behind your back?
Yang Ke squinted his eyes, made a judgment immediately, and moved his body to block the passing route.However, just when Yang Ke had just moved away from the defensive position, Rondo quickly pulled back.

not good!

The pupils shrank slightly, and Yang Ke immediately realized that he was deceived by Rondo's fake action, but because he had just shifted his focus, he couldn't make any resistance.

At this time, there was a gap at the basket following Yang Ke's loss of position, and he stepped out in three steps. Rondo easily made an empty basket and scored two points for the Celtics.

Rondo's signature stunt: fake pass from behind!
With this highly entertaining attack, the few Green Army fans on the scene burst into loud cheers.

"This trick is hard to guard against!"

Sitting on the bench, looking at the court with both eyes, Parker sighed and shook his head.Rondo's trick of "false layup from behind" has been tried and tested in the game. Even if the defensive player knows that his back pass is false, but actually makes a layup, there is nothing he can do.

Just because Rondo is a famous passing master, if he doesn't guard against his passing route, then he can take advantage of the situation to turn it into reality, complete a wonderful back pass, and also make his teammates score easily.

This guy…

Looking solemnly at Rondo who retreated quickly, Yang Ke looked very serious.Rondo's top ball-handling skills, realistic fake moves and uncompromising speed will make his next defense very difficult.

Withdrawing his thoughts and eyes, Yang Ke took the ball from Leonard, slowly led it across the half court, stopped one step outside the three-point line, and then waited for his teammates to take their positions.

"Actually, when I went to a press conference early this morning, I didn't really fall for that reporter's trap."

Standing in front of Yang Ke, posing in a standard defensive posture, Rondo began to spout trash talk again, "I really think you are a bad point guard!"

Frowning slightly, Yang Ke glanced at Rondo, kept his rhythm and controlled the ball, did not speak, but focused on his teammates' positions.

"As a point guard, you don't want to use your actions to create opportunities and space, but to wait for your teammates to run out of space."

Habitually tilting his head, staring at the expressionless Yang Ke, Rondo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued, "Aren't you a good point guard?"

Yang Ke was still silent, but his eyes had changed silently, because he found that Rondo's words were full of irony and derogatory tone.But if you think about the thorns in those words carefully, it is Yang Ke's current bottleneck.

Seeing the passage of time, Yang Ke still didn't make any moves, Ginobili pulled out and asked for the ball to pass.Facing Bradley who was defending him, he calmly stepped on the European step and reached the three-point line.

Ginobili rushed all the way to the free throw line. In excellent condition, he directly chose to shoot. Facing Bradley, he made a pull-up jumper and scored two points.

Although this attack was not directly related to him, Yang Ke didn't feel depressed because of it, and quickly retreated to the defensive half to settle down.

Rondo, since you think I'm a bad point guard, show me what a good point guard is!
Yang Ke turned around and looked at Rondo from a distance, his eyes sparkled with excitement.Entering the NBA this season, due to various reasons, under the guidance of Popovich, he switched to a combo guard.

Although he has the blessing of a super-high golf quotient, Yang Ke always feels that he and the starting point guards in the league are missing something on the field. He couldn't figure it out in the past, but today he woke up with Rondo's trash talk.

Yang Ke has a premonition that he can find a way to make leaps and bounds in the fight and matchup with Rondo. After all, he is too similar to Rondo in many aspects.

In the subsequent games, Yang Ke completely became a shooter similar to Korver on the offensive end. He participated in the team's offense through some off-ball running and fixed-point shooting. The ball was all handed over to Ginobili.

On the defensive end, Yang Ke always pays attention to Rondo's every move. Under the full defense, he is like a sponge, absorbing Rondo's organization, response and most critical pass selection on the offensive end.

In this way, the Spurs ended the first half with a score of 65:67.
