Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 144

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics lineup consisted of Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Garnett, and Chris Wilcox. For the Kings, Cousins ​​took a break and was beaten by Whitesey. Germany was replaced, and the false starter Morrow was also replaced by Garcia.

The Celtics raised the offensive and defensive confrontation of the game to a new level at the beginning of the second quarter, and the Big Three combination of Pierce, Garnett and Allen began to show off.

In the first quarter of the game, Pierce, who was bitten by Jimmy like a mad dog, took the lead. The biggest reason why Pierce was successfully restrained by Jimmy in the first quarter was that Pierce was not used to Jimmy's almost crazy fight. Disrupted, but for a veteran like Pierce who has seen all kinds of big scenes on the battlefield, as long as he adapts to such a defensive intensity, he can take the initiative in his own hands.

In the second quarter, Pierce initiated the first attack of the Celtics. After holding the ball, he directly hit Jimmy with his back.

However, it is obviously not enough for Jimmy to rely on his back strength, but coupled with Pierce's unpredictable offensive rhythm and unpredictable offensive methods, it is enough to make all defenders tired, and Jimmy is the same.Under Jimmy's crazy pressure in the first quarter, Pierce was a little out of shape. Now that Pierce has completed his self-adjustment, he has completely opened his offensive mode.

With his back on his back, Pierce continued to shake his shoulders, and turned to the left with his right foot as the axis. The realistic fake action deceived Jimmy's defensive center of gravity to one side, and then turned to the right again to widen the distance between himself and Jimmy.

At this time, the distance between the two was enough for Pierce to launch an attack. In order to pursue a larger shot space, Pierce immediately stepped back and shot a jumper!
Jimmy stretched his arms and jumped up to try to interfere, but Pierce had enough room for his shot. Jimmy's interference could no longer affect Pierce, and the ball went into the net with a perfect arc!

"Wonderful! Paul's personal post-up singles! The rhythm of this ball is quite good. Jimmy Butler's defense is already quite good, but he still can't keep up with Paul's footsteps!" The live commentator Tom Heinsohn shouted excitedly .

As an 8-time NBA champion, 6-time All-Star, and a member of the Hall of Famer Heinsohn who has dedicated his player career to the Celtics, the Celtics are his entire basketball life. Seeing the Celtics The current leader of the People's team has regained his offensive state, so he is naturally extremely excited.

However, this was only the beginning of Pierce showing his personal offensive ability. After that, Pierce succeeded in consecutive singles, whether facing Jimmy or Garcia who switched defenses. It is hard to guard against those who are not careful, and they will be tricked if they are not careful.

What puts more pressure on the Kings is the tough defense of the Celtics. The defensive core Garnett has a huge defensive range on the court. Although Garnett is about to turn 36 years old, he is in Celtics. The role of Zhong is still unshakable, and his help defense is still everywhere.The most important thing is Garnett's spiritual contagion. The passionate roar in every offense and defense drives the morale of the whole team and makes the opponent feel scared.

At the same time, as a three-time All-Star, Rondo was selected to the first team of the best defensive team twice and was selected to the second team of the best defensive team once. Not strong, but his wingspan and his big hands and the complete fighting spirit of the Celtics make him a terrifying perimeter defender in the eyes of opponents.Rondo is an offensive controller on the court. He can naturally understand the opponent's passing intentions, and his excellent anticipation can catch any lightly passed by the opponent to complete the steal.

For Tyreke, the king's most threatening player, the Celtics used Rondo and Allen to defend Tyreke in turn.In addition, the perimeter defenders are close to Tyreke, preventing Tyreke from receiving the ball, cutting off the connection between Tyreke and the team, and reducing Tyreke's breakthrough.The targeted defensive strategy made Tyreke blocked everywhere, and at the same time, Tyreke also needed to invest a lot of energy in defense, so Tyreke always seemed weak.

The Celtics in the second quarter can be said to be in full swing. The defensive end gave the Kings a great shock. In the offense, Pierce's singles were not the only ones. Garnett's high-post support and inside singles were also sharp. Lun's off-the-ball running position also made the Kings exhausted but helpless. The Big Three can be described as a match made in heaven.

At the end of the second quarter, the Celtics beat the Kings 29-15 in this quarter, leading the Kings by 14 points in a single quarter!It only took one quarter to completely widen the score gap!
"Great job! This quarter was really beautiful! It completely played what the team is best at. The Kings were powerless in this quarter and were completely led by the nose. The team will take nearly 20 The first half ended with an advantage of [-] points, this game can be said to be a sure thing!"

"Tom, we still have to beware of the Kings in the second half. Tyreke Evans' scoring ability is not a joke. But having said that, the team played really well in the second quarter. 36-year-old Ray, 35-year-old Kevin And the 34-year-old Paul, since they formed the Big Three in Boston in the 07-08 season, they have always maintained a very high level. Their professionalism and rich field experience make them still a fearsome super combination!"

With 3.3 seconds left in the second quarter for the Kings to make the final attack, Tyreke kicked off from the backcourt, and Tyreke made a long pass to Casspi in the frontcourt. Casspi made a hasty shot and missed a three-pointer. At the end of the game, the Celtics led the Kings 57-40.

Players from both sides left the field and returned to the locker room to rest. When Tyreke walked off the field, he looked at the back of the other side wearing a green jersey. No. 5, No. 20, and No. 34. The Big Three in Boston are indeed worthy of everyone's respect. Tyreke knows this It was the last year of the Big Three of the Green Army. Although the Big Three of the Green Army only took one ring, they left a strong mark in the history of the NBA.At such an age, he still has such a huge energy on the field, which just confirms the saying that veterans don't die, they just fade away slowly!
