Pierce has a lot of means, the future can be said to be an offensive encyclopedia, his physical fitness is not explosive, his playing skills are more floor-flowing, and the bounce is not high, but he has the advantages of good arm span, strong body, and flexible footsteps, which is similar to Chi Liang.

When he first entered the league, Pierce had a full of offensive skills, the left and right foot tentative steps were quite flexible, and he liked to combine them with back body skills, and his best move was the step-back jump shot, which can be said to be Pierce's nirvana!

In addition to that, Pierce also has an accurate mid-range jumper and some three-point ability. He can also play off the ball, his cutting skills are top-notch, his movements are fluid, his tempo changes quickly, and he likes to use pick-and-rolls to cut into the air.

In the next few minutes, Pierce began his step-back performance, first taking the ball with his right foot to retreat and feign a breakthrough, but in fact, he strode backwards to shoot; Pull back with your left foot, pretend to break through and step back to shoot; Or take the ball and try to step to accelerate the breakthrough and then step back to shoot.

This thing is quite obsessed with step-back shooting, and it also has a strong lethality, but the current Pierce has not reached his peak after all, and he will not be Chi Liang's opponent.

Under Chi Liang's defense, although Pierce can often score, his efficiency is not very high, and he was once seized by Chi Liang, and the head and face are a bloody cap.

While limiting Pierce, Ji Liang is also constantly scoring, and under the stimulation of Pierce, his desire to score is also high, coupled with the Player of the Week honor, which also keeps him in excellent form.

The two are like a game, you score a ball, I score a goal, but due to the difference in efficiency, the Nets started to pull the score apart.

At this time, Ji Liang once again held the ball and singled, this time he chose to play with his back, using Sikma to open up the shooting space, without giving Pierce a chance to block, and shooting quickly.

Swish~

"Paul, I've already scored 17 points!" When he was back on defense, Chi Liang squeezed a sentence.

"It's hard to defend!"

was scored by Chi Liang again, Pierce said that he was helpless, Chi Liang has the advantage of height, arm span, coupled with excellent touch and almost all-round offensive style, Pierce can't prevent it at all, unless his hand feels cool, otherwise his heart will undoubtedly collapse.

However, Ji Liang's words before returning to defense once again aroused Pierce's competitiveness, because he only scored 12 points.

At this moment, the Celtics head coach stood on the sidelines and yelled at Pierce: "Paul, don't stick to the ball, pay attention to the cooperation with your teammates!"

Since Pierce and Ji Liang went head-to-head, the Celtics have fallen into the back seat, and if it continues, the point gap between the two sides is likely to continue to widen.

The most important thing is that Pierce is not the core of the Celtics, and in terms of team status, let alone challenging Walker, even Anderson has not surpassed it for the time being.

Because of this, Pierce continued to play singles, which also made others feel unhappy, and caused Walker's dissatisfaction, after all, he is the core of the team.

In the roar of the coach, Pierce suddenly shrugged his head and died down, he is not the core of the team now, and he dare not listen to the head coach, otherwise he will risk being pressed on the cold bench.

Seeing Pierce's 'dumb fire', Chi Liang also changed his style of play and began to focus on organizing the team, the Celtics felt more hot, but the Nets had a rebounding advantage and played a tie for a while.

During the official timeout, the two sides tacitly sent a replacement lineup, and as in the last game, in addition to O'Neal Jr., who continued to stay on the field, there were also Eliot Perry, Kidders, Margeti and Williams, which was hardly much worse than the main lineup of the bad team.

On the other side, Pierce and Adrian Griffin came off the bench to take advantage of the opportunity to overtake the difference.

Unfortunately, the Celtics didn't take their chances, and it was the Nets who had the upper hand.

Kiders had a good hand, hitting the basket three times in a row; Williams is gradually recovering in strength and has a good ability to hold the ball in singles; Perry was extremely fast, smashing the Celtics' defense; O'Neal Jr. has excellent frame protection ability, and Margeti dares to fight......

Under their onslaught, the Nets had the upper hand, and they continued to widen the gap and looked like they were about to take the lead

Double-digit.

After finding out that the situation was unfavorable, the Celtics head coach immediately called a timeout, and in order to curb the Nets' offense, Walker had to come on early, with him and Pierce supporting the team's offense.

Unfortunately, this timeout was almost ineffective, and it was still difficult to contain the Nets' offense, and the Nets' replacement lineup was completely crazy, their pace was fast, and they still maintained a hot hand.

No matter how the Celtics head coach dispatched, he couldn't contain the Nets' offense, and he saw the source, but there was no way to target it.

The Nets' replacement lineup continued to exert strength, Kidders shot 5-of-7, Margeti shot 3-of-4, and won two free throws, O'Neal Jr. grabbed 4 rebounds, including two rebounds in the frontcourt alone, and everyone else had their own achievements, even Perry, who is not good at offense, also scored 3 points.

By the end of the first quarter, the Nets had stretched the margin to double digits with a score of 35-25.

Soon, the second quarter began.

At the beginning of the second quarter, it was almost the same as the first quarter, with the two sides in a stalemate, and neither could help the other.

When the bench came on, the Nets had the upper hand again, and unexpectedly, the most prominent player on the Nets bench was not Kiders, nor O'Neal Jr. and Margetty, but Eric Williams!

In this quarter, Williams was in a hot state, and in the eighth minute of the second quarter, Williams exploded without warning, as if he could do anything, and in just four minutes, he scored 13 points.

Under the leadership of Williams, the Celtics were completely suppressed, and even if Walker tried his best to score, he was still not as efficient as the Nets.

In the second quarter, the Nets scored 31 points again, continuing to widen the gap with a score of 66:51.

"Rebounding, especially defensive rebounding, how many defensive rebounds we've conceded! We have to protect the rebounds, and everyone has to be involved in the second half! ”

At half-time, the Celtic manager's roar rang out in the home locker room next door, and his voice was so loud that even the visiting dressing room could be heard.

The Nets looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile, and Coach Rivers couldn't help but look at the rebounding statistics, they grabbed a total of 26 rebounds in the first half, including 11 rebounds in the front court alone, and it is no wonder that the Celtics head coach is so angry.

From the perspective of shooting percentage, there is not much difference between the shooting percentages of the two teams, and the reason why the Nets are leading so much is mainly because of the advantage in rebounding.

Among them, O'Neal Jr. played a great role, getting the rebounds of the last double in the first half, plus Cage and Chi Liang, completely suppressed the Celtics in rebounds.
