NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 18 Expulsion

After the opening, the two teams sent the starting lineup:
Bobcats: Brezek, Eli, Wallace, Kapono, House.

Celtics: Lavrenz, Gugliotta, Pierce, Ricky Davis, Payton.

In this game, Liu Rui mentioned Eli to the starting lineup. The Celtics' starting power forward is Gugliota, a 208 white power forward.

Most of the offensive methods come from mid-range shots, and the mid-range shots are more accurate, and occasionally show off the blue footsteps.

The offensive power is not strong, and he only averaged 5.8 points per game this season in his previous life.

So using Wallace to defend against Gugliotta is really violent.

And if Kapono was facing Pierce, Liu Rui really didn't dare to think about the scene, so he directly sent the strongest shield to target Pierce, the strongest point.

In this way, Kapono can't defend Guge, otherwise he will definitely be educated to vomit blood at the basket.

Letting Eli start the game can not only improve the team's defense to a higher level, but also in the fast break, facing the bulky bodies of Guge and Lavlenz, he will definitely take the lead.

The Celtics jumped to the basketball first. Pierce stared at the ball in the middle and found that Wallace was defending him.

But Pierce didn't take him seriously. Although the coach had told him that Wallace, No. 3, had excellent defensive ability, he had never heard of such a character in the league.

What's more, in the usual team confrontation, the person who defends himself has always been Tony Allen.

Pierce took a tentative step in the middle, posing three threats, suddenly accelerated on the right side and found that he could not pass Wallace, suddenly pulled the ball to the left with his right hand, and made a mid-range shot with a sudden stop.

"Damn it!" Pierce felt bad when the ball was shot.

Wallace didn't lose his position at all on the defensive end, and he just interfered with Pierce very well.

After the rebound was accepted by Brezek, he glanced at it and threw it directly to the frontcourt.

Nani? !
Gu Ge and Lavlenz are still stuck in the position to grab a rebound, but the rebound is not grabbed and ready to go back to the defense. Looking back, Eli has already run to his own three-point line! !

On the court, only Payton noticed this and quickly returned to the defense, but the reason why Payton, who is only 191 in height, can have a great reputation on the defensive end is his entanglement like a dog skin plaster.

Of course, there is also the most famous "trash talker", a guy who can chatter in your ears non-stop in the audience, if you really can't bear to beat him, then you have successfully entered Payton's way.

Next, you will see someone lying on the ground covering his face no matter where he is beaten, rolling over as if life would be worse than death. It is a shame not to be an actor...

But this situation obviously didn't work for Eli. Eli relied on Payton to dunk the ball into the basket heavily with both hands! !

2:0
Eli's style of play is very risky, and it was banned in the Clippers before, but Liu Rui knows where Eli's advantage lies.

Therefore, Eli will be arranged for a fast break at the first time, and the defensive rebound will be handed over to Brezek and Wallace who withdraws to the basket.

On the bench, he doesn't need to fight for defensive rebounds. With Okafor's double-double machine, if you want to grab it, how can you let him collect stats happily? ?

And that wild aura should stay in the fast break and grabbing the offensive rebound. This is Eli who is really released, a beast out of the cage!

With Wallace's excellent defense, the Bobcats and Celtics tied at 24:24 at the end of the first quarter.

皮尔斯单节7投仅2中，三分球更是2投全丢，依靠2-2的罚球，单节只拿到6分。

Liu Rui's arrangement for Pierce is to resolutely defend alone. In addition to believing in Wallace's personal ability, Pierce averaged 4 assists per game in many seasons in his previous life.

Once Pierce is double-teamed, based on Kapono and House's defense awareness, there will definitely be vacancy.

Regardless of whether to vote or not, Liu Rui must resolutely eliminate such opportunities.

Completely cut off the connection between Pierce and his teammates, so that he can only try to score more through his personal ability.

This is also the trick of other teams defending James against the Heat who faced the top three in the previous life.

Anyway, I can't lock you to death, and you are so comprehensive, then I will let you score enough, but you don't want to mobilize your teammates' shots.

This defensive method will be truly valued by the other 29 teams in the league until later generations, and it is James who all use it tacitly.

That's right, it is "James Harden" of the Mosaic team.

In the playoffs of the 16th season, it was mainly used by Jazz coach Schneider, strangling the connection between Harden and his teammates.

But Rubio, who still hits 11 free throws per game, has no temper...

After the 16 season, the league used this style of play tacitly against the Mosaic team. Even the head coach of the 76ers, Brown, was so frantic that he prevented Harden from without the ball and refused to let Harden catch the ball before halftime.

This kind of defense that cut off the connection with his teammates also reduced Harden's assists from 16 in the 11.2th season to 8.8 and 7.5 in the next two seasons.

However, the score has grown from 29.1 points to 30.4 and 36.1 points.

During the period when Liu Rui was reborn in the previous life, he had already played 19/20 of the 1-4 season, and Harden’s average free throws per game increased to 14.8, surpassing the record held by Wanciwang (the first player in NBA history with more than 1W free throws) Barry, ranking first in NBA history.

In the second quarter, the two teams replaced the rotation lineup and continued to compete. Okafor single-handedly beat the 208 backup center Stewart.

Forcing Rivers had to let Lavrentz back on the field early.

Rivers on the sidelines kept wiping his sweat with his hands. He was still thinking about whether to show mercy, but now he was actually being beaten instead.

Fuck you, young man! !

Ruthless, so cruel...

bobcats at halftime

60:49
Leading by 11 points entering the second half.

In the second quarter, the Bobcats shocked the audience with 36 points in a single quarter.

Kapono and House, as well as the left-handed Kareem who came off the bench, jointly contributed 9 three-pointers, forcing Rivers to make adjustments.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.

Pierce supported the battle by fighting, and gradually regained some touch. In the third quarter, he made 6 of 4 shots in a single quarter and scored 10 points, helping the Celtics to successfully narrow the point difference to 5 points at the end of the third quarter.

79:74
In the fourth quarter, the two teams reached a feverish stage, and kept taking the lead alternately, which made Liu Rui really sweat off the court.

In this game, Liu Rui only called a timeout in the third quarter, continuing his Buddhist coaching style.

The difference is that after the start of the second half, Liu Rui's eating frequency decreased significantly. Although he didn't stand on the sidelines like Bickerstaff and shouted loudly, he still focused more on the field.

Relying on the hand-to-hand three-point tactics of Kapono and Brezek, he made frequent contributions. (Yes, it's Embiid and Redick's hand-to-hand tactics.)
40 seconds before the whistle, the Bobcats also lead by 5 points.

Payton dribbled the ball across the half court and handed the ball to Pierce on the weak side. Everyone opened up. This ball was a complete 1V1, and it was time to test the player's personal ability.

As the game time dwindled, Pierce made a three-pointer with a step back after a tentative step.

And Wallace's main defense is your three-pointer!
sigh~
beep!
The basketball goes into the net and the referee's whistle sounds at the same time.

3+1! !
The goal is valid, and a penalty will be added! !

"Fuck, this ball is obviously Paul (Paul Pierce) with an elbow movement, but you called Gerrard's foul??"

"I demand a replay! I'm going to sue you! Damn guy!!"

"I seriously doubt your professionalism now, this is really an ugly whistleblowing!!"

"beep!"

"beep!"

Two technical fouls in a row! !

The referee signaled that coach Liu Rui was expelled! !
