Leon trusted Pierce very much, but not blindly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info In the second quarter, he decided to hand over the offensive control to the truth, but that didn't mean completely letting Pierce go it alone, and he had a tactical system ready for Pierce to support him.

Before the start of the series, many people predicted that the matchup between Ron Artest and Paul Pierce would have an important impact on the trend of this round of the series. It can be seen from several battles between the two sides in the regular season that Pierce often has times when he faces Artay.

However, basketball is not one-on-one, and if two players can decide the fate of the game alone, then the presence of coaches and teammates is meaningless.

Back on the court, the Celtics didn't look impatient, Kevin Garnett clapped his hands vigorously to encourage his teammates, cheered everyone on, and the audience continued to cheer for the Celtics.

"The game is restarting and I don't know what kind of changes this suspension will bring to the Celtics...... It looks like the game is getting a bit bogged down in the Pacers' defensive vortex. Stockton also expressed some concern about the current situation of the Celtics, playing against defensive teams, and the most afraid of being dragged into the mud.

'Yes, Celtic have to be able to do something in attack, they've always had great attacking tactics and great individual talent, and if those two things were combined well, I think it would be very different. Cole said as he remembered his experience at the Celts.

The Celtics sent the ball to the sideline, Bale stood outside the sideline with the ball, Garnett made a cover for Arenas near the 45-degree 3-point line on the left side, and then Arenas ran to the right bottom corner to ambush, Bale passed the ball to Garnett, stood at the 45-degree three-point line, and Garnett dribbled laterally outside the three-point line.

Before serving, Pierce stood under the basket, and PJ Brown stepped forward to make a cover for Pierce, who made a big hook run from the three-second zone to outside the three-point line, and just as he ran outside the three-point line on the right, Garnett passed the ball.

At this time, Artest, who defended Pierce, faced a problem, because PJ Brown had a solid cover that he was out of the best defensive distance, and Brown had cut inside to the basket, and Pierce could easily drop the ball to Brown.

Seeing Pierce make a lob move, Artest hesitated and pounced on Pierce.

Sure enough, Pierce's pass was a feint, but Artest rushed too hard and couldn't stop the car, Pierce held the ball and changed direction past Artest, and went directly to the basket, facing O'Neal and Foster's supplemental defense, Pierce, who was full of strength, announced that the game was now taken over by him with a two-handed dunk!

"Foul, the referee blew the foul, Foster's beater, a beautiful dunk 2+1, this tactic is quite beautiful, it reminds me of the Detroit Pistons in 1989." Stockton is well-informed, and he can see that the Celtics' sideline ball tactic is a hook tactic invented by Chuck Daley, which is a set of tactics that Daley likes very much in key moments.

The basis for the realization of this tactic is that every player on the team has a relatively strong offensive ability, and can create offensive space through simple cover and pulling; And the core of this tactic is to tear apart the opponent's defense through two parallel screens. Pierce's hook run was the key to the tactics, and how he handled the ball was also the deciding factor in whether the tactics would ultimately work.

Leon watched Pierce add hit the penalty, and his originally slightly turbulent psychology calmed down suddenly, he bit his finger, sat back on the bench, and began to watch the game quietly.

Next, the Pacers' offense was unsuccessful, and Artest tried to return the color from beyond the three-point line, but his three-point shot was too powerful and hit the neck of the basket, and Garnett easily collected the rebound. But Arenas did not rush to launch a quick counterattack, but slowly controlled the speed, and it looked like the Celtics were going to play a positional attack.

Arenas observed the situation on the field, Arenas has never been the commander on the field, but he can judge what kind of tactics the team will play next by the movement of his teammates, and the real decision-makers are actually Pierce and Garnett.

At this time, Pierce and Garnett both squeezed into the left low post in a rare way, Garnett in front, Pierce hiding behind Garnett, and Artest trying to entangle with Pierce in this narrow space.

Arenas quickly understood that this was a 52-53 game, and he held the ball decisively on the right side, then saw Brown cover Bale at the top of the high arc, and then Bale went straight into the three-second zone, and Arenas passed the ball to Bale with a through ball. If it was Reed, he would have had a chance to attack the basket directly, but Bell obviously couldn't challenge Jackson's defense, but his goal wasn't to attack directly.

Bell dribbled around in the three-second zone and passed the ball back to Brown at the top of the arc in the middle, at which point Pierce had already relied on Garnett's small movements to help Artest entangle in hand-to-hand combat, ran outside the left three-point line, and then walked towards the top of the arc.

Brown had two options, one to wear inside to Garnett and one to pass outside to Pierce. O'Neal Jr. was very dead on the inside of Kaganeteka, and Pierce got rid of it, Brown immediately passed the ball to Pierce, and at the same time stepped forward to cover Artest, who was following the defense.

At this time, Foster had to give up Brown to help defend Pierce, how could a center guard Pierce outside the three-point line, Pierce dribbled the ball with a beautiful crotch, took advantage of the time difference to shake off Foster's center of gravity, and then stepped back to hit a 20-foot mid-range jumper.

"Another goal from Pierce...... The score had already been levelled and Pierce had scored five points in a row. ”

"Pierce's attacking skills are unmatched, even though he's not fast enough, he's full of feints, and you never know how he's going to hit the next ball." Cole couldn't help but praise.

Of course, it's not just Pierce's individual ability that is a credit to Pierce, it's the Celtics' team-wide strategy that provides Pierce with a great opportunity.

Such opportunities were far from over, and then, the Pacers tried to force the inside, Jermaine O'Neal singled Garnett one-on-one, only to be firmly contained by Garnett in the low post, O'Neal had to end the offense with a step-back jumper that he was not very good at, the ball missed, and the rebound was also obtained by Brown.

The Celtics countered again, this time they didn't use any special tactics, but went back to their usual two quick attacks, Arenas got past half, Garnett fell at the top of the arc to receive the ball, and Pierce rushed to the right baseline and leaned on Stephen Jackson! Obviously, the Pacers were out of position on the retreat, and Artest had to follow Bell, which created a small misalignment.

Pierce singled Stephen Jackson in the low post.

"It's you who hit, eat-boy!" As soon as Pierce received the ball, he began to bombard Jackson, who was influencing the game a few minutes ago, and now Pierce was going to tell him who the truth is for North Shore Gardens.

"Pierce singled, he withstood Jackson, a feint pass, pushed Jackson away, stepped back and made a jumper! The ball is in! ”

Pierce shook off Tinsley's bag with a passing feint, then leaned back, used power and inertia to knock Jackson away a little, and then used this little gap to find space to do a step back action, step back and lean back, although it is far less graceful than Michael Jordan, but the ball can go in, who cares so much?

With the Celtics leading the game and North Shore Gardens exploding in decibels, Pierce made a silent gesture towards the crowd before clenching his fists and roaring.

"That's the Boston truth, Paul Pearce." Steve Cole couldn't help but say. (To be continued.) )
