The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 127 The Unbelievable Three Plus One
After a short intermission, the players re-entered the field.

The lineups on both sides were almost the same as in the second half of the first half, with the Celtics attacking first.

Rondo held the ball steadily on the upper line, and Bradley went back and forth from the bottom line to find opportunities to catch the ball.

Li Ming tried to take a step forward to grab Rondo's body, but Rondo took advantage of the situation and made a half-turn around his body, skillfully throwing off his defense, and with a light throw, Wallace hit Arthur. Completed a powerful alley-oop overhead.

61 to 61, the Celtics took the lead in getting two points after get off work.

Rondo's pass was very strange. After he took a big step, he suddenly put the ball to the left, but twisted his body and threw the ball to the right. Wallace took advantage of Arthur's distraction and caught the moment. passing chance.

"How about it, little rookie, welcome to the North Shore Garden Arena." Wallace didn't forget to spray a few words at Arthur when he landed, so as to complete the effect of shocking psychologically.

In fact, Arthur didn't have any pressure in this meeting. Anyway, he is now carrying three fouls. His existence is just to give Randolph a little more rest time.

In fact, in Hollins' small lineup, Arthur's existence is mainly concentrated on the defensive end. After all, he is young and has wingspan.As for the offensive end, it mainly relies on the feed of a few people on the outside, and has almost no ability to attack independently.

Li Ming deliberately accelerated the pace of dribbling and passed the ball to Gay on the weak side before Rondo got stuck.

"Let's see how Rudy will choose. At present, Jeff Green is in charge of defending him, a small forward who also has top physical fitness. The two often played against each other in college. The field is about to start a new chapter." Larry Bird pays special attention to the team's small forward Jeff Green.

Guy raised his right hand and gently drew a circle in mid-air, but Green was unmoved, just bent down and lowered his center of gravity as much as possible.

"To the left, he will definitely go to my left." Green already had a plan in mind.

Sure enough, Guy actually opted for a hard shot from the left after trying a series of feints.He pushed Green hard and took two steps in.

Green's close defense is very good, and Gay is very uncomfortable in that position. He can't shoot sideways, which will lose his center of gravity.

So he opened up a space with his right hand and made a gesture of horseback riding and archery. Green was pushed away by him two meters away, but the referee did not blow his whistle.

Guy's shot was almost without interference. The ball was hard, and it was hard when it went out, and it didn't go in. However, Guy realized this after the shot. winked.

Randolph stuck Wallace behind him, clearing the way for Gay to the basket.Guy jumped up high, and made a flat-frame fried buckle with all his strength.

"Dunk!!" The North Shore Garden immediately fell into silence.

The force of the dunk was so strong that the basket was almost shaken apart.

"Oh, Rudy thought about it when he shot it, yes, he had a strategy then, so he made the right decision quickly." Gay won this offense, and he was very happy. Make good use of your body's advantages.

The two are about the same size, both weigh around 230 pounds, and their jumping heights are almost the same in the physical test that year.In terms of counterpoint, it is difficult to say who has the advantage. At this time, it depends on who is more determined.

Switching to the Celtics offense, Rondo also began to deliberately play for Green, directing his teammates to open up space for him to play singles.

The DJ at the scene also began to play high-pitched music to cheer for the home team.The fans also shook to the rhythm.

Green received the ball from beyond the three-point line. He took a tentative step in and placed the ball on the right side of his body in a half-squat.

"I don't know how Jeff will handle the ball. The current situation is very clear. The players on both sides have all opened up, giving them enough space for singles." Shaquille O'Neal is also very curious about who will win this duel. Green on offense, or Gay on defense?

Green began to squeeze in sideways, Guy's lower plate was very stable, and he stretched his hands to support his waist.

Green switched to his right hand and accelerated inward again. This time, Guy seemed to have more than enough energy, and was pushed back several steps by Green.

At this moment, when Gay retreated, Green did not continue to choose to walk in, but suddenly took a step back, and there was a crisp half-block basket, too! !
63 to 63, the two played back and forth, and each completed their offense in their own familiar ways. Relatively speaking, Green's offense was more direct and concise.

"This attack took less than 8 seconds, and it was very straightforward. After all, jump shots are much easier than hand-to-hand combat under the basket. Even if he can really pass Guy, there is still an Arthur standing under the basket. .” Shark applauded Green’s choice.

"That's right, this kid has some brains." Off the court, Rivers looked seriously. He is also adjusting the lineup. Although the main players have been lost one after another this season, he still doesn't want to give up so soon.

At least plan for the next season. It is the kingly way to come up with a tacit lineup. Just use the existing chess pieces in your hand to play a good game of chess.

The Grizzlies' offense seems to have stagnated on the line, mainly because Bayless on the outside line was a little tightly entangled by Bradley and had no chance to come out to catch the ball.

"Damn it, go in quickly, pass the ball quickly!" Hollins couldn't sit still on the sidelines.At this time, without Randolph's restraint inside, Li Ming's pass on the outside became more difficult.

"Lee." Gay got rid of the defense in the three-second zone and came up to the line to receive the ball.

Jeff Green's defense came later, but Gay didn't even look at him, and turned the ball to Li Ming who had already run to the weak side.

Li Ming glanced at the basket, and Rondo immediately jumped up. Li Ming sneered and threw the ball against Rondo's body.

Goal in, whistle blows! !Three plus one! !
"What happened just now?? He made a shot? In that position?" Not only the Celtics' bench, but even the Grizzlies' bench looked incredible.

How did he do it when he completely lost his center of gravity?
"Oh, this...really, I can only say that Lee must be very serious in his usual training, and he did not miss the weight room. His core strength is really good, and he can still complete it under such a confrontation. I have to give him a thumbs up for that shot!" Bird raised the volume by two notches.
