Chapter 640: Bryant's Curiosity and Rivers' Confidence

At the beginning of the game, Yes faced Pierce's challenge to beat him a few times, and scored 12 points in a row, which surprised most of the spectators who followed the game.

Because Yes's 12 points are indeed unexpected.

Before the game, no one thought that this pairing of Pierce and Yees would be like this.

Most people's thinking is that Ye Si will be at most five or five with Pierce, because the decline in athletic ability such as speed and bounce is severe, Ye Si will even be pressed and beaten by Pierce.

But the development of this competition is really completely different!

The contest between Yes and Pierce did come out in a one-sided situation.

But this time, it's not on Pierce's side, it's on Yes's side!

It's really hard to imagine that Paul Pierce, as an offensive kaleidoscope on par with Anthony, Kobe and others, would have such a big disadvantage in front of the chubby Yes.

I really can't move at all!

Everyone could see what Celtic's start meant.

Isn't it just to use Pierce to suppress Yes and do whatever you want with the supersound?

This strategy is very normal and correct.

Most people will have this choice when they are the head coach of Celtic.

Even if Pierce doesn't succeed in suppressing Yes, even if Pierce just has a five-to-five with Yes, this series is already here.

Who would have thought that the end result would be like this?

Such a result is not as simple as a 10-point difference for this series.

There is also a layer of significance to such an outcome, since the counterpoint between Yes and Pierce can be completely different from what media experts predicted.

So will the 4-0 or 4-1 predictions for this series also be problematic?

For the Seattle SuperSonics, maybe this Finals can still be pursued a little bit?

Seeing that the head coach of the Boston Celtics, Doug Reaves, asked for the first timeout of this game so early, not to mention that all the superSonics fans on the scene felt that there was a possibility of a change in the outcome of this series, but most of them definitely had the illusion that there might be a change in the outcome of this series.

So much so that when Doug Reaves asked for a timeout and both teams were on the bench on the sidelines listening to their respective head coaches explain their tactics, the reporters in the sideline media box and the commentators from various countries were now excited.

"Yes's athleticism hasn't diminished, Garfield's hurricane-style three-point counter-attack, a humiliating fast-break that deliberately slows down the fast-break pace in the game...... This is Yes's response to recent public opinion, and this is also Yes's countermeasure to the Celtics' arrogant use of Pierce to suppress him as soon as they came up! ”

"It's incredible, it's really incredible, Yes's defensive aggressiveness is definitely not as bad as imagined, at least in terms of current performance, Yes's defensive aggression is not enough in previous games, definitely not because he can't do it, but because of his defensive style and defensive positioning in the supersound."

"Yes's role in the Seattle SuperSonics defensive system is something that cannot be missed, and any risky defensive behavior is hard to accept!"

"Now, Yes has finally bared his fangs, and Pierce is the first victim!"

Now the stadium media seats and commentary seats have exploded a little, and such an explosion, as the head coach of the Celtics, Doug Rivers is of course impossible to see.

But even if you can't see these media unlockers who are now a bit explosive, Doug Reaves can tell from the cheers of the Seattle SuperSonics fans on the scene that what is happening in the world now and what is likely to happen in the world in the future.

"Seattle SuperSonics fans have the illusion that SuperSonics can beat the Celtics!"

Since the whole world thinks that Pierce can play Yes, and now it has been proved that Pierce can't play Yes, then those results based on Pierce can play Yes are naturally not credible.

Doug Reaves doesn't look down on the Seattle SuperSonics, nor does he look down on the Seattle SuperSonics fans, and even with the SuperSonics now leading his team 12-2, he's still willing to believe that the feeling of Seattle SuperSonics fans is unreal.

Isn't there always someone in this world who feels something like he likes me, or that I can fight back?

Today's supersonic fans and many spectators and fans in front of the TV are probably all delusional, right?

It's not that Doug Rivers is arrogant, this time he asked for a timeout that was definitely not stopped by Yes, for the Boston Celtics, 10 points behind the SuperSonics is nothing at all, the Boston Celtics have 10,000 ways to smooth out those point differences, and he has at least 100,000 ways to eliminate all this score.

He asked for a timeout, and it was all because of Pierce!

Pierce, who was already confident before the start of this game, actually had such doubts even himself, which was difficult for Doug Rivers to accept.

"Paul, don't care about those failures, don't forget about our failures last year, we don't need to care about these things at all now, Paul, remember what I said to you before the game?"

"I let you beat Yes a few times because I hope that our road to the championship can be easier and easier, it doesn't mean that you beat him a few times is the only way for us to win the championship!"

"Paul, trust me, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, I want to see Paul Pierce who can stay confident and calm on the court, whether it's against Kobe Bryant or Maddy or Iverson Carter!"

On the bench for the Boston Celtics, Doug Reaves was constantly giving Pierce a massage.

Seriously, Rivers himself actually regretted a little bit at this time.

This isn't Pierce's first Grand Finale.

But it's clear that Pierce is still nervous about this year's finals.

He wants to make a performance and perform in one of the most talked-about NBA Finals in NBA history.

Pierce knows exactly what it means to be there in this game.

Pierce also knows very well that if the SuperSonics lose this game, the attention of the next game will fall off a cliff.

In this case, the win or loss of the first game and the data have a huge impact on the final FMVP attribution.

Pierce wants FMVP, and there's nothing to hide from that.

The reason why Doug Reaves asked Pierce to suppress Hyes at the beginning of this game was because he saw Pierce's eagerness, and as long as Pierce could really suppress Yes, the Celtics would not be easy.

The arrogant Doug Rivers and Pierce, who wants FMVP, hit it off like this.

As soon as the game starts, go and gnaw the hard bones!

No matter how much Yes falls, he is still the best player in the supersonics.

In the face of such a player, it is not a wise choice to go up in this way.

It seemed so eager and impulsive.

This operation, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like something that a veteran with finals experience can do, but it looks more like those young people who are playing the finals for the first time.

"Pierce's mindset has changed!"

That's why Doug Rivers asked for this timeout.

As far as Pierce was beaten by Yes for three minutes, it can be said that no matter who the champion is this year, the possibility of Pierce wanting to win the FMVP is almost zero.

Although Pierce has completely reconciled those rivalries between Pierce and Garnetre Allen after his last Finals defeat with the Suns, he won't do anything weird to fight for that personal honor.

But that's FMVP!

Even Pierce, who had been prepared for a long time, even if he was no longer the first brother of the finals, couldn't accept it for a while.

When the opponent is a cooked duck, everyone wants to reach out and catch it, but the person who first stretched out his hand finally burned his hand, which is indeed a rather miserable and uncomfortable thing.

Pierce is like this now, and he feels miserable and uncomfortable.

Doug Reaves was cryptic about what he said to Pierce after he asked for a timeout, but the Celtics players around him weren't stupid.

It's a normal thing to divide FMVP.

Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, there is always one of the three who becomes the most successful player.

At a time when supersonic was like a dry bone in a mound, the Big Three began to compete secretly from the first minute of the first game.

As the original bosses of the Celtics, Garnett and Ray Allen gave Pierce the opportunity to take the lead.

It's just that Pierce was smashed by Yes.

Seeing Pierce look so uncomfortable, Garnett and Ray Allen were of course willing to sympathize.

But deep in their hearts, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the solution and rules that Doug Rivers found to resolve the FMVP dispute, and they are willing to accept such rules.

Like Rivers said, the team has 10,000 ways to beat Yes and the Hypersonics.

Some methods are based on Pierce's core, and if the team wins, the final FMVP is of course Pierce's!

There are some methods with Garnett as the core, and if the team wins, the final FMVP is of course Garnett's.

There is also the same way to defeat the supersonic with Ray Allen as the core, and if there is left in the end, the final FMVP is, of course, Ray Allen's.

The difference in strength between the Celtics and the supersonic is too large, there is no suspense about victory or defeat, and how to distribute the benefits after the war has become the key.

How do you get the other two superstars to accept the idea of beating the supersonic with another superstar as the core?

This is a difficult thing to do.

For Rivers and Garnett Pierce Ray Allen, neither of them is ready to make a hammer deal with the Celtics, they have more ambitions.

They want to pursue a dynasty of their own.

Now it's just the beginning.

Again, there are times when the beginning is the most important.

The first FMVP of the dynasty......

Everyone is red-eyed, but Pierce is the original boss of the Celtics, so both Garnett and Ray Allen accepted Rivers' arrangement.

Let's start with the method of defeating hypersonic with Pierce as the core.

It's just that I really didn't expect Pierce to be so disadvantaged.

With the huge gap between Pierce and Yes in the previous three minutes, Pierce's core approach may not be so easy to beat the superSonics.

Now, it's up to Pierce to accept such a reality!

Garnett and Ray Allen, as well as Tony Allen and Perkins, all quietly looked at Pierce with his head covered in a towel.

What happened in front of the Celtics bench was pretty weird.

Even if it is really stopped by Yes, there is no need to be so dignified, right?

Isn't it just 10 points behind? What's there?

In terms of the strength of the Celtics, it is not a matter of minutes to catch up?

Of course, although it is not known what is really going on on the Celtic bench.

But for a lot of media and commentary.

The Celtics are like this, it's caused by Yes!

Now there is no need to dwell on so many things at all, blow it and it's over!

It's just clear that Celtic are in such a strange situation at the beginning of the game now, and it's definitely not that no one sees it.

For example, Kobe.

"Yes, it's so cruel, it's a direct dream destroyer!"

Kobe Bryant has always felt that he is an NBA psychologist, he has been with Phil Jackson for so many years, and he has always felt that he has been mixed with Phil Jackson for so long, and he has not learned anything else, and psychological warfare is a clear game.

The contract is about to expire, and the player is his masterpiece.

What Yes is doing on the pitch now is similar to his masterpiece.

In the finals, directly knock a superstar of a giant team into the abyss, yes This is the rhythm of preparing for Pierce to go undercover!

Pierce and Garnett who is the boss of the Celtics, this title has not been decided.

Both of them are humble, but both are quite proud people.

In last year's finals with the Suns, there were some signs of disagreement between the three.

Kobe Bryant believes that the three must have learned after last year's Finals.

That's why Pierce wanted to perform so much after the game started, so crazy.

Pierce is so arrogant, after a little thought, he knows the reason, it turns out that he has learned to distribute.

"I have to say, yes is so smart!"

At a glance, the Boston Celtics saw their intentions, and they pushed Pierce into such an abyss.

It's just that......

"Yes is too ruthless, what does this do with Pierce?"

Really accept it, it's not just FMVP that lets you out, but also the position of the team boss!

Is it an easy choice?

Bryant believes Pierce isn't the kind of guy who would rather give up wins and championships to Yes than pit Garnett first.

But anyone facing such a tragedy has to take two games to adjust, right?

And this is the opportunity for Yes and the supersound!

"Yes, where did you learn this conspiracy? This trick is indeed a pervert! ”

As long as you think of Yes's ruthless stance towards Pierce before, Yes really believes that Pierce will do that kind of thing for the sake of the team's boss Garnett.

This kind of thing has rarely happened in the history of the NBA, if not almost never.

At the beginning, he was hacked to the extreme in 2004, and he was not hacked to the point that he deliberately won the game with the Pistons for the sake of Black Ao Fat.

The accident in the 2004 Finals, for no other reason, he also wanted the Lakers to win, but it was his dish!

"Yes, I've seen someone really do something for the status of the team and pit his teammates to send the championship, that's why he can do this conspiracy so convinced!"

Flower Q!

Who is so Dior in NBA history?

really did such a thing, and he was not hacked worse than in 2004?

But there is no one in the history of the NBA who is darker than him in 2004?

So, who the hell has Yes seen doing such a crazy thing?

To be reasonable, now Kobe Bryant is really curious!

Ye Si didn't know that his thoughts and thoughts were understood by Kobe Bryant so quickly.

If you knew, you would be shocked.

Not shocked by Kobe's IQ, but shocked by Kobe's dirtiness.

You can guess that this heart is as black as his teammate James who played him crazy for 3,000 games!

This kind of person just needs to respect and worship, and you must not be a teammate!

Of course, Ye Si must not know at this time.

He did have some time to look at the bench next door.

Giant team, Ye Si has experienced, such a discord, there are many people who can get out, but it takes time.

He is indeed quite looking forward to Pierce's choice right now.

After the timeout, the game between the SuperSonics and the Celtics resumed.

The first offense after the timeout was the Boston Celtics.

The Boston Celtics don't have a point guard, Ray Allen and Pierce take turns handling the ball, and the playmaker is two plus Garnett.

In the regular season, the three will often block each other, and the power is quite outstanding.

But in this game, the trio has not played a single pick-and-roll, and all of them are Pierce's challenge to Yes.

And this time, after the timeout, Ray Allen dribbled the ball past half court and passed the ball to Pierce again.

And this time, Pierce didn't choose to single Yees, but chose to block and pick up Garnett!

Pierce put the ball directly into Garnett's hand after blocking and dismantling Garnett, who hit a mid-range jumper in the face of Yes.

The score of the game was tied at 4-12!

After Garnett hit a mid-range jumper, Pierce was the first to go up and give Garnett a high-five.

Seeing Garnett and Pierce high-five, the expression on Yes's face was quite surprised.

Yes had thought that Pierce could get out of his schemes.

However, Ye Si really didn't expect it to be so soon!

It didn't take two games, not even a half, and Pierce made his choice.

Yes could see that Pierce was unwilling to make such a choice, as could be seen from the way Pierce looked at him.

But Pierce still chose to sacrifice his personal honor for the team and the team.

Pierce values his personal honor very much, but for the sake of the team, he can give up his personal honor as soon as possible.

This kind of atmosphere, this kind of decisiveness, this kind of mind!

Yes took a deep look at Pierce and Garnett, and then slowly walked to the frontcourt.

"After the Boston Celtics took a timeout, the tactics changed again!"

As long as you are not stupid, you can see that after the timeout, the protagonist of the team changed from Pierce to Garnett.

Such a change did not make these people aware that there was anything wrong.

Since the Celtics have failed in their attempt to press Yes with Pierce, there is nothing wrong with opting to shift the team's tactical focus from Pierce's to Garnett's.

When Garnett took over the Celtics' tactics on both ends of the floor, the Celtics' level on both ends of the floor did rise more than a notch.

Garnett and Pierce's pick-and-roll, Garnett's and Ray Allen's pick-and-roll, so to speak, Garnett is the only player who can connect Pierce and Ray Allen.

and Ray Allen blocked and dismantled Ray Allen to cover and pass the ball to Ray Allen, covered Pierce and Pierce blocked and finally over-gave the ball to Pierce, after Pierce was closely watched by Yes, Pierce chose every time very selflessly, no longer singled Yes, but used his height and passing ability to pass the ball to the empty running Tony Allen and Ray Allen.

Not to mention Ray Allen wrapping around Quentin Richardson, even Tony Allen can stun Rondo without the ball!

"After Garnett took over the Celtics, let's not talk about whether the Celtics are the strongest Celtics, but the tactical literacy of this team has risen more than one notch!"

"The impact of this competition is indeed incredible!"

"In the history of the NBA, Garnett's strengths may not be the strongest, but his weaknesses are the least!"

"A lot of people say that Duncan is the Yes on the inside, but I personally prefer to accept that Garnett is the Yes on the inside!"

"Whether it's Yes or Garnett, in a way, they've done their job perfectly!"

"And such a player is also the player who has the most influence on the game!"

After Garnett led the Celtics' offense and defense, the Celtics' tactical literacy was staggering.

They trailed by 10 points from the start, which was nothing for Celtic, and this game will definitely catch up.

But whether it was the audience at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, I really didn't expect that the 10-point difference would be caught up so quickly!

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 30-27, and the Boston Celtics went from trailing by 10 points to only 3 points.

At the start of the second quarter, it was the turn of the rotational lineups of the two teams to take the court, with the supersonic rotation of Barria, David Lee, Wilkins, P.J. Tucker and Kwame Brown facing off against the rotational lineup of Leon Bowie, Eddie House, James Posey, Glen Davis and Ray Allen.

The Celtics' rotation lineup is very famous, whether it is Ray Allen or Eddie House, James Posey is a strong player, and even James Leon Bowie Jr. and Glen Davis, who were once NCAA, are very characteristic players.

The Celtics' bench lineup is not the strongest in the NBA, but it is definitely the least weak, both offensive and defensive.

Therefore, for the Celtics' rotation lineup, Doug Rivers is very satisfied.

In the face of the first two rounds of the very fast supersonic rotation lineup, he is very confident.

It's just clear that the superSonics' rotation lineup for this game is not small.

This time, the center position of the SuperSonics is Kwame Brown, and the small forward position is played because Quentin Richardson went to the start, so it is PJ Tucker who plays.

The SuperSonics' originally pure offensive rotation lineup, after Nelson Sr. made these two changes, it actually changed from pure offense to the same offensive and defensive balance as the Celtics.

"Fighting offense with the Nuggets Suns and Rockets, fighting with the Boston Celtics for offensive and defensive balance, the Seattle SuperSonics' rotation lineup is the same as the Celtics' rotation lineup, and it almost never falls behind!"

After the start of the second quarter, the matchup between the rotation lineups of the two teams surprised many people on the scene, including Celtics head coach Doc Rivers.

Pierce's inability to play Yes was the biggest surprise for him before this match.

And when the rotation lineups of the two teams came on, the other advantage he estimated became the equilibrium point!

The Celtics' rotation lineup can't catch the supersonic rotation lineup!

You know, the Celtics' rotation lineup is led by Ray Allen!

It is precisely because the Celtics' rotation lineup is led by Ray Allen that Doug Rivers is even more surprised.

If it weren't for Ray Allen's scoring stability, even the supersonic rotation lineup could have been beaten by the Celtics' rotation lineup!

In the end, when there were seven minutes left in the second quarter, the rotation of the two teams was played, the score of the game became 45-40, and the Celtics went from trailing by three points to trailing by five points, the result surprised many.

If Yes's performance of completely suppressing Pierce at the beginning made many people have some illusions, and Garnett's outburst shattered such illusions in an instant, then after the rotation of the two teams was played, such a fantasy once again appeared in the minds of many people.

And this time, the reason why these people have fantasies about this series is completely different from Yes's suppression of Pierce.

"The rotation lineup of the Seattle SuperSonics actually has the advantage?!"

"This is the first time that the SuperSonics' rotation has such a clear advantage in the playoffs, right?"

"This group of players who used to be garbage has now evolved into players who can suppress their opponents in the finals!"

"It's not just these SuperSonics rotation players who did well in this game, but the other SuperSonics players are also doing quite well in this game."

"Although Milicic did not suppress Perkins, but in the hand-to-hand combat between the two, Milicic was the slightly superior side, that is, Quentin Richardson and Millsap were a little miserable by Ray Allen and Garnett, but these two also tried their best."

"Judging by this game, if Durant is still there...... Maybe the result of this grand final......"

"Yes has really built a dynasty foundation in Seattle in two years!"

The strength shown by the superSonics players so far in this game has really shocked many people.

If the series with the Rockets is a battle for Durant's name, then this round of the series has the meaning of a battle for the name of other supersonic players.

Among these shocked people is naturally Celtics' head coach Doug Rivers.

Before this game, he and his team had always felt that even if the SuperSonics had Durant, it would be a gift.

But now......

Rivers knew he had made it simple.

But!

Luck is sometimes part of the strength!

This is why the only person who can break luck, fate, and all rules can only be God.

Because God is the strongest!

And you, by no means, are not God, and you are definitely not the strongest!

"After all, you don't have Durant, the team you worked so hard to build is no longer complete, and victory will definitely be away from you!"

Doug Rivers looked at the back of the supersonic No. 9 walking towards the court, and his eyes were full of confidence!
