NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 270 271. Are you coming to the Lynx team to clean the toilet? (58)

After the Celtics came back in the second half, they significantly increased the number of times Pierce took the ball.

Use the cover of teammates to give Pierce the opportunity to attack as much as possible, and because Pierce has excellent vision on the offensive end.

So if teammates can come up with opportunities, Pierce can also distribute the ball in the hands of teammates as much as possible.

However, Liu Rui's defensive strategy for Pierce has always been a single defense.

Even if Wallace was beaten by Pierce in a one-on-one, Liu Rui would never choose to double-team.

What's more, if Pierce wants to really beat Wallace in one-on-one, the feel of this game can be said to be very overwhelming.

Facing the offensive of the Celtics after returning from the second half, Liu Rui had already prepared, and the Bobcats players continued the game according to Liu Rui's previous explanation.

Payton faced Mo Williams in the second half, muttering trash.

And Xiao Mo Quandang was listening to a dog howling beside him, his whole face was expressionless, appearing very calm.

Because Liu Rui has emphasized this matter both before the game and in the midfield.

As a rookie contract, Mo Williams was traded by the team twice.

Now he has finally found his position in the Bobcats, and has also been appreciated by Liu Rui.

Even if I heard Peyton's trash talk at this time, I really wanted to go back.

But when he thought of Liu Rui's words, Mo Williams could still tell the difference between right and wrong.

However, despite the clear distinction, Mo Williams decided to respond on the court in the face of Payton's endless trash talk.

"Shut up, you old guy, why don't we make a bet, I bet I can make this shot."

He glanced disdainfully at Payton in front of him, perhaps the gloves at his peak were the nightmare of all point guard players.

But now the glove Payton has reached the twilight of his career, and even the average data per game this season is not as good-looking as Mo Williams.

Mo Williams certainly has no respect for such a star who spouts endless trash talk and only sells his old age.

"Haha, this is so funny, it's probably the best joke I've ever heard, if you could just drop this in my head..., damn it, you crafty bastard."

Before Payton's trash talk was finished, Mo Williams directly used Okafor's pick-and-roll, and threw it away with a step away from the three-point line.

After all, this kind of direct long-distance three-pointer after the pick-and-roll has become Mo Williams' regular offensive method this season.

It's just that this game is the first time Mo Williams has played in the playoffs in his career.

So after the opening game, the entire team played more cautiously. Mo Williams has never tried this kind of far shooting point.

After returning from the second half, as the Bobcats have been leading, it also made Mo Williams more and more confident.

Directly found the rhythm of the game in the regular season, one step away from the three-point line, and directly shot quickly with the help of the pick-and-roll.

sigh~
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and this three-pointer hit the basket steadily.

"I said, you can't guard against me, old guy, you'd better put away your disgusting tricks as soon as possible."

"If I were you, I would have no face to continue playing in this league, and I would definitely choose to retire."

"Well... Maybe if you can't find a job after retiring, I can recommend you a job cleaning toilets with the Bobcats. What do you think?!"

Xiao Mo, who had endured Peyton's trash talk throughout the first half, finally couldn't bear it anymore after returning from the second half.

But due to Liu Rui's previous explanation, Mo Williams decided to give his own response on the court.

After all, when Liu Rui was in midfield, he also found himself saying that if he really couldn't stand his annoying mouth.

Then swear back fiercely on the court, as long as there is no physical contact, Liu Rui has the right to not see it off the court.

Because in Liu Rui's view, the wicked have their own grind.

Glove Payton has been able to enter the best defensive team all year round, and as the only one in history who has won the best defensive player as a point guard.

His trash talk is absolutely indispensable. Liu Rui has never objected to players spouting trash on the court.

Even in the previous confrontation between Wallace and Pierce, Liu Rui took the initiative to ask Wallace to talk more trash in an attempt to disrupt Pierce's offensive rhythm.

It's just that after getting to Gerald Wallace, it became a little bit off.

The trash talk was spattering, but it made the two of them cherish each other...

Facing the ridicule of Mo Williams, although the star who has been there for more than ten years feels angry, it is certainly not enough to make him lose his mind.

It's just that in the ensuing entanglement between the two, the two of them kept mumbling and spraying each other non-stop.

Whether the referee on the field saw this scene, of course Liu Rui didn't know.

Anyway, the referee didn't give any whistles to the two. Maybe the referee is used to Payton's trash talk? ?

Or maybe Payton has applied for a league patent on trash talking? ?

As the game continued, Liu Rui also changed into his rotation in advance with more than five minutes left in the third quarter.

Because now the Bobcats still have a big lead on the field.

The main lineup goes down to rest earlier, and can return earlier in the fourth quarter, so as to avoid unnecessary accidents.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats were on the road with:

76:67
Leading the Celtics by 9 points, it ended the first three quarters.

And 76 points in three quarters, of course, the average level of the Bobcats this season has declined.

However, considering that this is the stage for the playoffs, Liu Rui accepted this situation frankly.

And successfully limited the Celtics' scoring in three quarters to less than 70 points.

In addition to the defensive ability of the Bobcats players on the field, Liu Rui's preparations before the game obviously played a big role.

Just talking about the defensive methods of the Celtics' main players, these things can be said to be invaluable information.

Regardless of the Bobcats' defense, the Celtics' own offensive problems were fully exposed in this game.

When the entire team was unable to attack in series, the Celtics only sent 11 assists at the end of the third quarter.

It can be seen that the Bobcats have done a good job in cutting off the connection between players.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats had sent out 21 assists.

Nearly double that of the Celtics.

And at the end of the regular season this season, the Bobcats averaged 27.6 assists per game, ranking third in the league

Second only to the No. [-] Suns, and the No. [-] Kings...
