Chapter 72 Speeding up the Clippers
The beginning of the second quarter was a substitute performance. Eric Bledsoe played very well after he came on the court, especially after the pick-and-roll, whether he attacked the frame or gave Blake Griffin to the roll, he could form an effective attack.

Um!Kevin Garnett is still off the court, and Kendrick Perkins can't let his hundreds of pounds of flesh escape the gravity of Blake Griffin, who is flying in the sky.How did Jermaine O'Neal get stuck behind Jordan Jr.?

A few minutes later, the main force returned one after another. As soon as Paul Pierce came back, he directly scored a three-pointer at the top of the arc against Anson's defense.

"Hey, rookie, my three-pointer is not bad, this kind of defense can't make the best defensive team."

Paul Pierce's offense is fierce. Compared with Carmelo Anthony's tentative steps and beautiful pull-ups, his face-to-face attack is more diverse. He doesn't have the fat buttocks of Carmelo Anthony, which is doomed to him More is to rely on face-up offense.

Received Rajon Rondo's basketball from the top of the arc, and suddenly raised his hand. An Sheng didn't take this fake move. In the first five games, he faced two small forwards in the league's top five, which made his defensive experience begin to grow. rise.

Paul Pierce's step-by-step breakthrough is only better than speed. Anson has never been afraid of anyone, and he will always remain on the left front side of Paul Pierce.

Can't go inside any more, Jordan has been waiting in the paint for a long time, and makes an emergency stop for a jump shot, but An Sheng's reaction is quick, he stops his body abruptly, his palm interferes with the mid-range, and the basketball bounces out of the frame .

However, there was a tall, lanky dark figure who overwhelmed Blake Griffin at the basket and dunked the ball into the basket.Kevin Garnett, after a serious injury in 09, his athletic ability has declined rapidly, and even so, he will occasionally show up as he is now.

The Celtics are very strong, otherwise they would not have won 5 consecutive victories after losing the opening game at the beginning of the season.The score was gradually played more rhythmically, and the Celtics with a more systematic defense opened up.

At the end of halftime, the Celtics have opened up a 56-point gap with 49:7.The Clippers fans on the sidelines are already a little pessimistic. Is it going to be trashed at home this time?
In the locker room of the Clippers home team at the Staples Center, the atmosphere in the locker room at this time is completely different from the previous two games. Although the score is also behind, Del Negro is not worried at all.

In the past few seasons, the Celtics' bench players have been much weaker than their previous years.The departure of strong substitute players such as James Posey put them in a difficult situation. Fortunately, in the new season, they have Jermaine O'Neal's basic salary to join. Add a championship to your career.

Of course, this Celtics team has an Achilles' heel, save for Rajon Rondo and Marquese Daniels.The players on this team who can play are either veterans like the Big Three and Jermaine O'Neal, or the "big baby" Glenn Davis who walks on the basketball court with hundreds of catties of flesh.This year marks Kevin Garnett's 16th season, Ray Allen's 15th and Paul Pierce's 13th.

It is also the first season of Anson and Blake Griffin, and the third season of Eric Gordon. What's more, the opposite is a back-to-back team. Enough confidence.

"It's such a fast offense. China's Ann and Blake's roll is very fast. The small cooperation between the two, Ann's dunk, is really fierce. I seem to have just seen Rajon trembling under the basket." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

The Celtics' first attack in the second half didn't work, as Anson grabbed a defensive rebound and Blake Griffin both flew together.

When Anson and Blake Griffin had already run into each other's half, the Celtics and their two old guys couldn't get back at all, and Rajon Rondo, who was chasing back, faced these two beasts as well Of course, the striker can only watch him dunk under the backboard.

Charles Barkley, with a big mouth, couldn't help but start mocking when he saw this scene: "Are Kevin and Paul planning to take our place? Let me tell you, you two are still very early. You just signed the contract. Honestly, play for another two years."

The Celtics try their best to slow down the tempo. Almost every attack they have passed several times, and the success rate of the shot. As long as they score, it will be difficult for the Clippers to counterattack quickly with backcourt rebounds.

Relying on Ryan Gomez's off-the-ball pick-and-roll, An Sheng quickly inserted into the inside line. The moment he received the ball, Jermaine O'Neal's supplementary defense was also in place.

Although Jermaine O'Neal's knee made his bounce no longer at the peak of the Pacers, but as the defensive core of the top defensive team at the time, his awareness of protecting the frame is still there.

An Sheng didn't have the slightest fear. His body felt as if he was raised several centimeters abruptly during the take-off, and he directly pressed on Jermaine O'Neal to complete the dunk.This ball has a feeling of bullying a veteran. If it is still at its peak, this ball will definitely end in a big cap.

"Ann! Ann!" All the Clippers fans cheered for the dunk. It was a go-ahead goal. After speeding up in the second half, the Clippers had already beaten the Celtics to a 10:2 climax.

"I can't believe it. This is China's 20th point. I feel that tonight, he can create his own scoring high, and even become the first rookie player to score 30 points." Kenny Smith is marveling at Anson's outstanding performance. It is rare to see a player who can complete multiple dunks on the heads of Jermaine O'Neal and Kevin Garnett. Now, the person who has done it is a rookie.

Charles Barkley smacked his lips, trying to make a dismissive expression but could only shake his head. He had to admit that Anson played very well in this game. When his shooting threatened When it was time, his attack appeared to be more smooth.

Paul Pierce wiped the sweat from his head, looked at An Sheng opposite, and really wanted to complain, is there no limit to the physical strength of this Chinese?
This Chinese man's candy-like defense will make him feel very uncomfortable, but it's just the defensive end. On the offensive end, he tirelessly cuts and runs. Today, An Sheng's three-point shooting rate is very good. Paul Pierce dare not It is the defensive method of the first quarter to defend.

And the one who felt the same was Kevin Garnett. The 34-year-old wolf king had the same feeling when facing Blake Griffin. He couldn't help but sigh that he really came to his peak. .
