The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 123 The Art of Passing

In the next few rounds, Rondo began to take over the game, constantly delivering cannonballs to his teammates. If it weren't for the ineffective teammates on the outside, he might be able to get eight assists in the first quarter.

Bayless was successfully intercepted by Rondo from behind when he was about to play. Rondo faced many opportunities for three-on-two in the frontcourt, and pointed the ball to Gerald Wallace. The latter completed another earth-shattering dunk.

At the end of the first quarter, 26 to 26, both sides had a good offensive performance, and the defensive end also had occasional genius strokes, and the fights were back and forth.

"This Rajon Rondo doesn't seem to be easy to deal with. He can always appear in the right position." Bayless shouted, obviously he was a little worried about being intercepted by Rondo before.

"Hey, buddy, there is indeed a gap between you and him." Li Ming almost said this.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Rivers replaced Bradley and Brandon Bass, and the Grizzlies also took Arthur and Durin.

Li Ming is still defending Rondo, and at the moment he is clinging to the opponent.

Rondo rolled his eyes, and a direct pass was put into the hands of Bass, but it was a pity that Bass hesitated and was blocked by Gay when he made the shot.

In the current lineup on the field, Gay is at the fourth position, just in line with Brandon Bass.

Bass just signed a three-year 2100 million contract with the Celtics. As a second-round pick in 05, this is not easy, and the price is simply sky-high.Now he needs to prove himself with his performance on the court, and he also seems to work very hard on the defensive end, constantly competing for offensive rebounds.

In the first few rounds, both sides played very cautiously and were in the stage of testing each other. After adapting for a period of time, the newly replaced players began to score points one after another.

First, Bradley on the home team received a pass from Rondo at the basket and cleverly wiped the board and scored two points.

Immediately after the Grizzlies, Dooling scored a dunk in a quick down.It was Li Ming who passed the ball for him.

Both sides were fast, and the game quickly went up two notches to watch.The atmosphere in the arena also began to heat up. Some fans even took off their shirts and cheered for their teams in line with the DJ's chanting.

"Hey, kid, don't always stand there, you have to try to keep walking, don't let the opponent see your intentions." Rondo instructed Bradley while dribbling.

In the past season, due to the increase in injuries caused by the shrinking season, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen have been absent for a long time, which gave Bradley, who can play the first and second positions, more opportunities.In the last month of the regular season, Bradley averaged 15 points per game and was selected to the second team of the All-Defensive Team.

As the team's 09th pick in the first round of 19, it was precisely because of his rapid rise that the Celtics boldly let go of the outside gate Tony Allen.

Li Ming on the Grizzlies' side did not give in. Rondo's activity also greatly stimulated his desire for survival and performance. In this short period of time, he has sent out four assists, including two exquisite assists with Gay. The empty pick is breathtaking.

Even if the ball is passed more or less, it will not have that taste, it is so direct and domineering.

"When Lee hits the ball, he shakes his wrist. There is nothing that can't be done for more than ten years." Larry Bird is very optimistic about this Huaxia defender.

"Yes, especially his wide-range ground pass through the midfield, which has seen the foundation, which requires high power control." Shaq also has a deep understanding. His career and history A passing master like Tiff Nash has been a teammate and has the most say.

However, the passing of many point guards in the league or other leagues is not in place, or even unnecessary mistakes, with no technique and tacit understanding at all.

So there are reasons why the NBA games are good-looking, and why the NBA is the highest basketball hall, and these details are the best evidence.

Speaking of the game, the Celtics' offense, Rondo stood on the upper line and dribbled the ball, Jeff Green and Bradley interspersed back and forth at 45 degrees on both sides to find a good opportunity to catch the ball.

Rondo stared at Bradley on the left but sent the ball to Green on the right. Green stretched his arms and almost sent the ball into the basket without any defense.

Rondo's pass tore through layers of defense and found Jeff Green in the best position.

"Rudy." Li Ming waved his hand on the upper line, signaling Guy to give up the space in the middle.

Arthur and Guy stood a little close, and there was a small vacuum behind the basket, which was not the best for passing the ball, and it was easy for the opponent's small man to slip in and cut off the ball from his own center.

It is best for the person receiving the ball to have a small angle of passing space, so that even if he cannot make a shot at the first time, he still has the opportunity to accelerate again to deliver shells to his teammates.

After Li Ming glanced at Guy, he suddenly turned around and cut in. The speed of the ball breaking through was not fast, but his footsteps were large, and he just leaned on Rondo's body while throwing the ball.

Arthur at the basket made a clever turn and jumped high, and also made a dunk that smashed Huashan. The young man vented his emotions, jumped and ran back to the frontcourt excitedly, chanting words incessantly.

"Is there something interesting about number seven? Why haven't I seen it before? Was it chosen by the Grizzlies this year?" asked a middle-aged man with a slightly bloated figure in the crowd.

"Oh, come on, it can't be a new pick, maybe it was poached from a certain league." The other wears a green hat with the home team's big logo on it. Yes, you read that right, it is indeed green of.Not to mention, it looks quite energetic.

Wallace and Bradley here also scored consecutive points at the basket. The offense of both sides was very smooth, as fluent as mercury pouring down the ground, and the home cheers were overwhelming.

With Jeff Green's outside three-pointer, the score came to 36 to 41, and the Celtics at home led by 5 points.

Coach Hollins on the sidelines made a pause gesture.

"You played well, kids, you played very well. You showed me your hard work and earnestness. You played well." Hollins rarely got angry, but calmed down on the field. The emotions of the players.

It seems that the back-to-back games consume a lot of players. This timeout is purely for everyone to take a breather, to have a small-scale rotation, and to disrupt the Celtics' offensive rhythm. The next fight went smoothly.
