189. Change hands for dunks!
The Eagle Cavalry Company was dispatched.
The Celtics replaced the second team with Rodney Rodgers, the Suns' best sixth man in 2000, as the core, and the offseason was traded to strengthen the team, but he didn't expect to average 12 points per game in the Suns last season, and he only averaged 9 points per game when he came to the Celtics.
What to do if you don't have the ball, shoot less, and the shooting rate has increased from 45 percent at the peak of the previous few years to 48 percent.
Eric Strickland, Joe Johnson, Rodgers, Pierce, Vitaly Portapenco are five players in the game.
Back in the second quarter, the Hawks attacked.
Liu Mang observed the Celtics' lineup, Celtics' coach O'Brien is really good at playing fast, if it is a normal attempt to put Antoine Walker in the position of power forward, then it is a very innovative attempt to put Pierce in the position of power forward.
Jason Terry received Liu Mang's serve and quickly pushed it over.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Jason Terry gave the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang came to make the first attack selection.
Liu Mang held the ball outside the three-point line and watched with great interest as Joe Johnson, who was jokingly called by fans that the future of contemporary Jordan could be a top star.
Joe Johnson looked at Liu Mang's very interested eyes, his palms were sweating, brother, don't do it! It's just that the boss is tired and can't beat the team's top scorer for a while!
Joe Johnson is afraid of meeting this "bully" of the same class, and he has long heard that this bully is very ruthless in the face of his fellow players, supersonic Earl Watson, what a friendly person, it is said that he wants to see a psychiatrist...... He didn't know that Liu Mang was just looking at his ability......
"Ding...... Joe Johnson, 20, 65 Ability, 67 Offense, 60 Defense, 82 Speed, 69 Power, 65 Three-pointers, 69 ...... Shot"
What a weak chicken! It was really the first time that Liu Mang had encountered an opponent who was so weak in almost all aspects.
What does this look like the future Eagle King? The physical fitness is also average, what a contemporary Jordan!
Liu Mang actually admires a little, a player who is just like this in his rookie year, and later can become a giant-level player who gets the highest salary, and his physical talent is average in terms of speed, strength, and bounce, and he is a representative of hard-working players! And you can't practice speed and bounce, but strength and technique can! With a height of more than two meters and a large skeleton, it is necessary to become the capital of the legendary floor stream Jordan in the future.
In this case, how can you be worthy of yourself if you don't take advantage of his weakness!
Liu Mang made a small step preparation to break through the acceleration, his right foot was cushioned, his shoulder shook, just such a feint, Joe Johnson was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and Liu Mang made an easy three-point shot!
It feels good, and the three-point hollow hit!
Jason Terry and Raheem, who were preparing to wait for the ball, didn't know how to say how they were feeling when they saw the offense and defense.
This defender is hilarious!
With such a height and such a slender body, is it as for being scared of this virtue?
Jason Terry thought of Kenny Anderson, who defended himself in the first quarter, and Raheem thought of Antoine Walker, who was fighting against him, why is our rookie luck so good? Met a fool?
In the eyes of the two, including many people, Joe Johnson's defense is simply too weird, and it doesn't look like his physical fitness is bad! As for being scared like that.
The current Joe Johnson is not the Hawks who fought against James during the Hawks, he is one of the players in the NBA who has the largest weight gap from entering the NBA to retiring from entering the NBA, and now he is only in his early 90s, and he weighed 110 kg when he retired, and his muscles are not fat.
Joe Johnson wants to cry, you all said it looks, buddy really just looks like he runs fast, but he really can't run fast!
The exclamation and subsequent cheers of the fans, as well as the look in the eyes of the other players around him looking at Joe Johnson, he felt the surprise in it, the feeling made him annoyed and inferior, and every time this feeling constantly stimulated him to want to be stronger!
The Celtics pushed in, Joe Johnson went to the bottom corner to wait, opening up space is his biggest role in addition to garbage time, although his three-point shooting rate is less than 30% at this stage, but whether it is a mid-range shot or layup shooting rate, it is not good anyway, it is still a relatively better choice to open up space, and the Celtics do not point to him to score.
In the first quarter, Antoine Walker was playing singles all the time, and Pierce didn't use much energy when he rested, and now it's time for Pierce to exert his strength.
Scrickland passes it to Pierce, and it was Newbell who defended Pierce.
Pierce will use all the advantages he can use, and when he sees that he is defending himself with a genuine power forward, he will use his speed to make a strong breakthrough! Newbell was not slow, he followed closely, but Pierce was a little faster after all, stuck Newbell to the middle distance, and in terms of strength, Pierce did not suffer in the face of Newbell, and took a step to the top corner of the right side of the free throw line he liked, and just this step, he shook Newbell away! Pierce's slow, small feints looked like real to his opponent!
Pierce half-turns and steps back to make a jumper! A jump shot that barely leaves the ground!
It's so smooth!
It looks like it's a step-by-step step-by-step jump shot, Liu Mang is a little scared to see here!
Master of Turn Shot Level 5, Master of Step Back Step Technique Level 5, Master Master of Step-Back Jumper Level 5, Level 5 Ankle Finisher......
This is the real offensive kaleidoscope! One offense triggers seven or eight skills, perfectly combining your strength, footwork, feints, and shots!
There is also this ankle finisher, Liu Mang always thought that it was only players like Iverson and Kobe who dribbled well, but he didn't expect Pierce to be able to play in mid-distance singles!
Muhammad picked up the ball and immediately sent it to Jason Terry, who was already about to get down, Jason Terry and others were not as surprised as Liu Mang, because since entering the NBA, Pierce's offensive skills have been so exaggerated, and now he has only reached his peak and is more powerful, and his offensive means are so many that the old players have long known it.
Jason Terry received the ball in the midfield, Strickland had already caught up with him, the power was so rough, Jason Terry was a little unstable in controlling the ball!
Strickland is characterized by speed and strength! Chase and bite your opponent like a vicious dog.
As a point guard who has never scored more than 10 points in any season, shot less than 40 percent in any season, and has never averaged more than 3 assists per game, he has only played in the NBA for so long in the 90s and early 21st century, and many teams appreciate his defensive offensive power.
After Liu Mang followed, he originally planned to slowly drag and wait to catch the ball and shoot three points, but found that Jason Terry was entangled by the other party, and immediately chose to accelerate!
Liu Mang took the lead in entering the opponent's three-point line, Jason Terry hurriedly passed the ball over, Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line and was just about to take three steps to make a layup, when he suddenly felt that someone was coming behind him!
Liu Mang made a decision immediately, took two steps and jumped with all his might, and dunked!
"Ding...... The fancy dunk is triggered, and according to the current situation, the abdominal strength is increased, and it is judged to be a hand-changing dunk. ”
Liu Mang changed the ball from his right hand to his left hand in the air, narrowly dodged the hand that stretched out behind him and barely pressed the ball into the basket!
After Liu Mang landed, he heard the sound of the person behind him landing at the same time, and turned around to see that it was not the other party's outside line, but the immortal bird Pierce who couldn't stab him!
How can this guy be so fast?
Liu Mang did collect his speed at the beginning, but he sprinted with all his strength behind him, but he didn't expect Pierce to be able to keep up!
Is this still the old man who seems to be slower than the other party at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends?
No hats! The main thing is that the opponent actually switched from a layup to a dunk or a hand-to-hand dunk at the last moment, although the dunk was a little reluctant, but this awareness, this judgment, this reflexes, Pierce was surprised by the Hawks players for the first time today!
It's normal for Rahim to be able to play like that, people's strength is so strong, Pierce has heard and watched Liu Mang's game clips, and he thinks this is a hard-working and a little clever player, but I didn't expect that in addition to being fast, his brain is not bad, no wonder I saw from those clips that this rookie's opponent seemed to be stupid.
Still so cold, Pierce glanced at Liu Mang and went to pick up the ball and prepare to send it to Scrickland without saying anything.
Pierce's side was cold, and the Hawks' side was demoralized in the unexpected and surprising cheers of the fans!
Our rookie dunk successfully won the game, and he never lost!
However, after Pierce came over, another basin of cold water was poured on the head of the Eagles, Pierce served to Scrickland and advanced over, and then received a return pass with his back against Newbell in the middle distance, rubbing and rubbing, and suddenly turned around, turning at a speed like a whirlwind, with his strength, Newbell reacted and was directly bounced away.
It's a very passerby-like Pierce-style small throw, and it's the kind of shot that doesn't seem to leave the ground, but it's so strong that it doesn't want to fall into the basket again!
Pierce speaks with strength, and the game has just begun!
