Chapter 19: The Hapless Rondo
Watching the duel between Garnett and Duncan, Joe also saw the gap between the two. Maybe the strength of the two is equal now, but Duncan belongs to the floor stream, and his career is still very long, so it is no wonder that the Spurs will defeat the Heat with the Big 3 in the 13~14 season, and Duncan will always be the strong point on the inside.
And Garnett uses more body and explosiveness, and as he gets older, these will degrade as soon as the peak period passes, and at that time, the wolf king will only have that hard work and no ability.
This is why it is systematically evaluated that Garnett's state is at the end of his peak, while Duncan is in the middle of his peak.
The next two seasons will be the final showdown between "Stone Buddha" and "Wolf King......
Duncan and Garnett have fought back and forth a few times and have not won any good results, after all, the strength of the two is equal, and they can't tell the winner for a while.
With 15 seconds left at halftime, the Celtics trailed by three points at 46:49. Both teams play defensive offense, which can be said to be half-hearted. Today, Parker has been limited by Tony Allen, and his play is not very big, but it is Gilo Billy who faced Ray Allen and played his sharp offense to the extreme, and came off the bench to score a game-high 16 points. In comparison, Ray Allen's 5 points are a bit stumbling. But the good thing is that Ray Allen played as a point guard today.
Pierce struggled a bit, and he was opposite Bruce Bowen.
Bruce Bowen
Status: Downward (Terminal)
Best position: Small forward
Offense: 70, 96 defensive, 83 overall
Seeing this number Jù Qiao is simply crazy, Nima has slipped to the end of the defense and still has 96, so how strong is Bowen's defense at the peak? It's not going to be a max level!! It's really t~m awesome.
Bowen is a master of perimeter defense, a litmus test for top swing men. Relying on undivided attention to defense, tough close interference, and imposing tremendous pressure on players who hold the ball and receive the team. Comparatively, guards who are tall defensively and have the ability to carry the basket have a hard time. There are many small actions that are criticized, and the league is famous for its tasteless black feet.
Relative to defense, Bowen's offense pales a lot. In addition to the well-known two-corner open three-pointers, Bowen often uses the opposing rotation's rotation defense to break through and add baskets or jumpers as an offensive tool. The only thing worth mentioning is that he shot 40% from three-point range. It is not a necessary choice for the team's offense, and there is basically no one-on-one offensive ability. The free-throw shooting has inherited the Spurs' collective habit of shooting a staggering low percentage (63%).
In an interview with the Spanish media after retiring, Bowen talked about his "dirty" reputation for defense. During Bowen's time in the NBA, Carter, Maddy, Kobe, Francis, Ray Allen, Szzambiak and other scoring guard players have been blackfooted by him, among which Carter was seriously injured because of Bowen twice. And now, when a reporter asks him if he really intentionally hurt his opponent, Bowen is only willing to admit that he has blackfoot Ray Allen once.
'I understand that a lot of the opposition fans are attacking me and sometimes they are right. But I don't mean to hurt other players. Only once did I deliberately kick Ray Allen, who was still playing for the SuperSonics. He was in front of me, and I kicked him and thought, 'What did I do?' I regret doing that. ”
After the kicking incident, Ray Allen turned against Bowen and even sued the NBA vice president. Bowen's bad reputation has also spread widely, and almost every opponent sees him as a thorn in his side, believing that he is not worthy of respect.
But Bowen said: "I felt very aggrieved at first, and I worked really hard every day to play in the league, but everybody said I was dirty. But then I realized that everyone has an attitude, and I can't change other people's opinions about me, so I chose to understand. ”
"But there are still fans who respect me and think I'm not dirty, but hard. I can't change what's already happened, so be it. ”
During his time with the Spurs, Bowen has been a key player in the perimeter defense, from Anthony to Paul, from Nash to LeBron, and he also values his ability. Without him, it's hard to argue that the Spurs would have won three championships since 1999, and the Spurs have retired his jersey.
And this makes one wonder, if Bowen had been on the lineup, would Ray Allen have made that lethal three-pointer in Game 6 of the 2013 Finals?
And Joe personally likes Bowen's defense, with three words is "steady, accurate, ruthless" The defense is steady, rarely deceived by feints, and rarely loses the defensive position. Have a good judgment on both on-ball and off-ball defense, make accurate shots, and can play a good role in interference or destruction. Then there are many small movements, powerful, and even sometimes attack the opponent to cause the opponent's psychological shadow, Bowen is most famous for the flying foot against Szebiak. In fact, people who defend well, especially those who don't rely on physical talent, have a lot of small actions, and I personally think that there is nothing to criticize for the small actions in defense to benefit themselves and the team on the edge of the rules. A lot of Joe's defense borrows from Bowen's kraft gum defense. But Joe wasn't as dirty as Bowen.
Joe and Elson have been fighting on the inside for a long time, and although Elson has the height, he is still very weak in the face of a strong version of "Bowen". And Joe's offensive ability is not something he can defend. Bullying a child scored 12 points.
No matter what, the game still has to continue, this is the last attack of the second quarter of the Celtics, it is good to score, and it is nothing if it is not. It's a big deal to catch up in the next quarter.
After the timeout, the Celtics started the final wave of the half. Rondo is finally on the pitch, and he is still a little resentful when he plays as a substitute today. After getting the ball, he broke through directly and wanted to make a whistle layup to prove himself.
And at this time, a sinful little foot appeared on the route of Rondo's breakthrough.
Seeing that he was about to enter the inside line, Rondo was even more excited. And tragedy struck so fast that Rondo felt like something was holding his foot back. Then a dog rolled on the ground in 360 degrees like, and fell to the ground. Then it was accompanied by a scream of "Ahh ”
Looking at Rondo's painful appearance, Joe couldn't help but be startled. This Bowen is too ruthless!!
Don't look at it, putting Rondo down is Bruce Bowen. The man who was still laughing in the face of the boos from the audience.
Poor Rondo, who was injured after only a few seconds on the pitch, and his "sacrifice" did not make much of a difference. The poor one was carried down by the team doctor.
The referee awarded only one technical foul and made two free throws and one throw of Ray Allen to enforce the free throw. But that throw didn't do much, and it was over at half-court as soon as the serve was over.
The game continues, and the next two quarters will be even more exciting.
