Leon's gesture was simple, he palmed one hand, clenched his fist in the other, and then struck it hard with his fist towards the palm of his hand, somewhat similar to a Chinese fist salute, but it was only a quick collision that ended. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This gesture Celtics players know - let go of their hands and feet, and slam inside to attack.

The first quarter was when the players were full of energy, and the Celtics never lacked masters of breaking, with Arenas and Pierce one being a burst flow and the other a skill flow, and few opposing players could prevent their breakthroughs in one-on-one situations.

Arenas saw Leon's gesture and knew that the order had been given in advance, and he began to receive the ball through the half court to adjust his pace and rhythm.

Before the game, Leon and Celtic's players said that when the semifinals begin, they must take the lead and mercilessly tear open the wounds of the opponent's weakest points and let the opponent bleed to death early.

The Nets' weakest point is their defensive level, as the team that used to be the best defense team in the East, the Nets still have a hard shell, which is composed of Kidd-Kittels-Martin as the skeleton. But although this shell is hard, once it is breached, there is no buffer, on the one hand, because of Kidd's injury, his speed cannot keep up, on the other hand, Martin has never developed a strong ability to block the box, and Collins does not have such ability.

If a team wants to hinder the breakthrough of the opponent's speed players, it is certainly not enough to rely on the opposing players, there must be a sufficient thickness of the defensive layer to check the layers and block one by one to attenuate the opponent's energy, Leon keenly found that the Nets no longer have such ability, because in the first round against the Miami Heat, they were almost burst into a sieve by Wade.

The Nets led 2-0 in the first round, then lost two games in a row in Miami, the fifth game of the battle of Kings Mountain was almost reversed, and the sixth game was narrowly won in overtime.

Of course, Leon knows that in the NBA, you can never underestimate the heart of a champion, and if you want to extinguish the heart of a champion, the only way to defeat him is to defeat him completely.

From the performance before the first quarter, Leon knew that Jason Kidd had a strong desire to win, and a veteran with a strong desire to win cannot be underestimated, and once he finds the feeling to play MVP-level performance in the series, the Celtics will be in big trouble.

The role of confidence, desire, willpower, and mental strength in the playoffs will be magnified, whether positive or negative, and before the playoffs began, Garnett released the slogan "fo, fo, fo, fo", in order to let the Celtics elevate to the best spirit from the beginning and hit the championship in one go.

Now, in the face of Kidd Sr.'s struggles, neither Leon, nor Celtic nor Arenas will show the slightest affection.

Arenas held the ball, he waved at Garnett, he didn't need Garnett's cover, Garnett and Brown in the middle both gave space, and Kidd Arenas started like a cheetah.

Arenas doesn't have the speed of Iverson, who isn't the best point guard in the NBA in terms of absolute speed, but he has a strong explosiveness that doesn't come from his talent, but from his hard work on the court with a parachute.

Arenas passed Kidd, and Kidd, who had a knee injury, could judge Arenas' route, but his legs and feet really couldn't keep up, and his knees couldn't get a quick force. He barely followed Arenas, only looking at his back. Collins had to come to the defense, and Arenas was completely unafraid, he did not choose to pass the ball to Brown, but faced Collins with his strong upper limbs to push the center away and force a layup.

Arenas' left hand held off Collins, his right hand grabbed the ball to avoid Collins' interference, and a difficult one-handed pick-and-roll hit the board into the basket, and the Celtics recovered two points.

Then the Nets missed a jumper from beyond the three-point line, Arenas got the ball again, and instead of launching a second quick attack, he stabilized his pace and landed on the ground, and then faced Kidd again, he used the same way to get past the former No. 1 point guard in the league, and then faced Kenyon Martin head-on to the basket, causing Martin to foul

This is not the Arenas style of play that North Shore Garden fans are familiar with, and Boston fans will always have the impression that he will pass the ball in a proper way, cut around, and look for shooting opportunities on the run. Or, if necessary, a sudden shot from beyond the three-point line, North Shore Garden fans love Arenas's cannonball-like long-range forced shot, and the moment the hit hits, an unusual explosive thrill will bloom in the center.

It's been a while since he's been like this, carrying explosives into the opponent's interior line and dismantling them directly, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to do so.

Nets head coach Frank realized something was wrong, but he didn't have any good ideas and could only command with some anxiety on the sidelines.

Kidd, of course, will not be easily defeated, and then the Nets played a beautiful counter-run, they cleared the bottom line, Martin suddenly ran back, Kidd made a timely counter-hanging, Martin received the ball and dunked directly, it seems that their offense feels very good, and the Celtics defense has not yet fully entered the state.

Looking back, Garnett made a one-step jumper from inside the three-point line and missed, but PJ Brown grabbed the rebound and hit a rebound. Collins faced Brown Sr. and fell behind across the board.

The turning point came in the next offensive.

One of the best ways to boost your team's morale is to try to beat Garnett and attack the opponent's MVP when he receives the ball from the waist position, such as Olajuwon in San Antonio in 1995.

But apparently Martin has found the wrong person and put himself in the wrong place, Garnett is not David Robinson, and he Martin is not Olajuwon. Martin pushed Garnett hard and wanted to turn over and shoot, but two consecutive feints did not shake Garnett away, and he had to pass back to Kittels, who then passed to Martin, Martin slid and turned inside to go inside, wanting to go straight to the basket.

He thought he had gotten past Garnett, and a left-handed layup was about to finish the offense, but a big hand stopped him from behind.

Although Garnett lost his position, his height and reach determined that Martin did not break away from his defensive circle, and the ball was snatched from behind by Garnett.

“run！ run！ As soon as Garnett got the ball, Leon yelled on the sidelines.

Garnett didn't hesitate and just dribbled and ran wild, and no one could stop him!

Garnett ran through most of the court and blew up the North Shore Garden Arena with a two-handed dunk!

After the goal, Garnett hit his head the basket before running back to the backcourt to defend.

Fox Leon knew that Kevin Garnett had already been ignited, much earlier than in the past, because he wanted to burn the Nets faster.

After this ball, the momentum completely came to the Celtics' side, and the Nets' offensive end obviously fluctuated, Kidd missed a mid-range jumper, and his opening hot hand quickly cooled down.

On the counter, Pierce flashed Jefferson with a ghostly change of direction, flew close to the ground, scored a right-handed layup, and caused Collins to foul and add a free throw.

After the free throw was hit, the Celtics had already pulled the score away, and Frank had to call a timeout.

"Barbarism, barbarism, barbarism. Use your savagery to tear apart the opponent, I don't need to lay out any tactics, unleash your talent, break through, rebound in the front court, and counterattack quickly. Unleash your energy, we're number one in the regular season, we're the best in the league, don't hide it, nobody likes to be humble and cautious here, that's what needs to be done before the game. Now, all you have to do is kill them! ”

Leon shouted "kill-them" again during the timeout, and in the playoffs, he didn't need to suppress the emotions and mania in the players' hearts, especially when the strength was clearly superior, and it was the right way to overwhelm the opponent as soon as possible with savage talent.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, all skills and tactics are in vain - the premise is to let absolute strength come into play. (To be continued.) )
