188.96 The battle for the strongest small forward of the generation!
Depend on!
Muhammad, who learned from Liu Mang that the output sometimes depends on roaring, and learned from Muhammad that sometimes roaring is more powerful in defense, found that there are still others who also rely on roaring, and there is still a bit of intimacy.
The Celtics are fast-paced, and Coach Jim O'Brien's system is good at picking up the pace, and Iverson will be able to reach new scoring heights under him from a time when he had already begun to decline badly, winning his fourth scoring title with the highest shooting percentage of a scoring champion and returning to the first team of the All-NBA team.
Kenny Anderson, a short guard of 1.83 meters, ran very fast, and the Hawks lost the jump ball and retreated quickly, landing in a defensive position at the first time.
Kenny Anderson is no longer the one who could squander his talent with the ball ten years ago, seeing the Hawks' Raheem returning to the free throw line to help defend at any time, and Ratliff under the basket, the Hawks' restricted area defense has become famous, Kenny Anderson's scoring methods are mostly inside scoring, averaging 0.6 three-pointers per game in his career, and he has made very few shots.
When the Nets and superpower forward Derrick Coleman were both selected as All-Star starters, Kenny Anderson never thought that he would be traded away in the second season, and then wandered around.
Antoine Walker is very strong, averaging 22 points, 10 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game in his sophomore year, and was selected as an All-Star bench.
Raheem's oblivion in the corner has a lot to do with Antoine Walker's All-Star-level performances in those years.
Raheem was in a co-defensive position and immediately returned to Antoine Walker's side.
Antoine Walker, two meters and three meters tall, weighs 110 kilograms, such a strong body, Rahim is under a lot of pressure, Rahim is 3 centimeters taller, but his weight is two kilograms lighter, it is enough to see how strong Antoine Walker is!
Just when Raheem was on guard and was very afraid of Antoine Walker's kind of breakthrough, Antoine Walker pulled it up and flew three points directly!
Just 6 seconds passed......
That is, Kenny Anderson received the ball and pushed it in, just handed it to Antoine Walker, who threw it without hesitation.
Raheem was taken aback, but fortunately it was just Antoine Walker's regular test touch, and with a three-point shot, Latliff easily picked up the defensive rebound.
Tony Barty is almost free of rebounding, and his rebounds are not as high as his own two forwards.
Coach O'Brien's team is always less rebounding than his opponent, he is probably the only coach in NBA history who has never won a rebound regardless of the lineup, and in his 9-year coaching career, he has always averaged fewer rebounds per game than his opponent.
The Celtics quickly retreated, and as the team with the fewest offensive rebounds in the league, they have long been accustomed to stepping back directly after hitting the iron, averaging 9.6 offensive rebounds per game to rank first in the league.
Jason Terry latched onto a pass from Ratliff and Raheem dropped to the low post to ask for the ball.
It wasn't Antoine Walker who came up on defense, it was Pierce.
Unlike Rahim, who is now both the team's leading scorer and the team's leading defensive stalwart on the outside, Antoine Walker is characterized by scoring and grabbing rebounds, and defense is the biggest weakness that limits him.
And Pierce's defense can only be considered improvised, mainly because the attitude is relatively lazy, or it can be said that he doesn't want to defend so much, he exploded with his opponent in the early part of his career, and when Garnett came and roared a few times, he immediately became powerful when he got serious.
This team system is related, now the team is the main offense, Pierce judged the direction of Rahim's turn, but he couldn't stop it, so he didn't play hard, Raheem saw that it was Pierce defense, turned around and directly resisted Raheem's throw to score two points.
Offense and defense switched, the Celtics advanced over, Antoine Walker was a lot more serious this time, and the old friend bullied his "little brother", of course, he had to help the little brother get back on the field!
In addition, the name of the best small forward of the 96 golden generation that was advertised, not only Raheem wants, but Antoine Walker also wants to keep!
The first time I tried the feel, I found that the feel was average, and Antoine Walker began to break through with his arms flailed!
There is a kind of player who you know is going to break through, but you just can't stop it, and it's Antoine Walker, super flexible and fat, and his strength is too strong!
Raheem couldn't carry it for a while, and tried his best to guide Kemba Walker to the basket.
At this time, Pierce pulled out and took Muhammad's defense away, Kemba Walker forced a small turn to the basket, and even the fat on his body seemed to be doing a feint, deceived Raheem and Latrife, forced a layup, and caused Ratliff to foul!
This size, this strength, this agility, if you honestly play a big forward and chisel on the inside, it's too strong!
After the goal, Antoine Walker cocked his orchid fingers, bent his knees and shook his legs, shrugged his shoulders and danced an unusually sissy, but full of riotous celebration!
This celebration action is really hard, it seems to be more hard than the offensive score, it is worthy of being one of the twin stars in the legend of 30% physical strength on the party, 20% physical strength for playing, and 50% physical strength for celebration!
What a owe to fight!
Even Liu Mang on the sidelines felt the commotion on Antoine Walker across half the court!
Raheem gritted his teeth and put his hands on his waist, this really can't be helped!
Muhammad can probably bear it, but Antoine Walker can pull out the singles, and Muhammad can't defend it, so he can only change the defense between the two.
That's the key to the Celtics' rise this year! In the past, when Pierce played point guard, both of them were outside players who defended and were relatively easy to defend, mainly because they could strangle Antoine Walker, who didn't like to go inside no matter how strong he was, and it was difficult for Pierce to win too many games even if he scored 30 points per game, not to mention that he couldn't win it.
But now the two rotate infinitely in the third and fourth positions, and they both have physical advantages, they are both very strong ones, and they can also throw three points, which has become extremely difficult to defend.
Boos erupted, which made Rahim even more embarrassed.
Raheem didn't say much, he was ready to grab rebounds, and he was ready to harden with Antoine Walker!
Pretending to be cool, Antoine Walker didn't score free throws, and the free throw shooting rate of more than 50 percent for many years has to be lost to the inside line and fewer free throws, otherwise the coach will be angry to death.
Raheem pressed Pierce, who wanted to remove the bench and go around to steal the rebound, to protect the rebound.
In the same way, if he is beaten by the other party, Rahim will also return it!
Or sit and fight! It's to sit in the low position, it's to play the inside!
Unlike Antoine Walker's preference for doing everything on his own, Raheem prefers to be a pure finisher, with the goal of receiving the ball and being well positioned.
Jason Terry slowly pushed over, the first team to defend the opponent's counterattack, and the second team played counterattack by itself, which is the characteristic of the Hawks, after Jason Terry came over, Raheem had already pressed Pierce on the edge of the three-second zone to ask for the ball, Jason Terry immediately passed, Raheem turned around and easily carried Pierce, and stepped to the basket!
Tony Barty came over to make up for it, and the rampage Raheem ignored the opponent and smashed the ball into the basket through Tony Barty!
Tony Batilla can't even pull it, and he is deducted alive! The referee's whistle blows! 2+1!
It's back!
The fans at the scene were immediately released by Antoine Walker's depressed mood! The cheers are finally here!
That is, there is no habit of shouting MVP in these years, the blacksmith does not cut 81 points, Liu Mang always feels that something is missing when he is excited, and after thinking about it, he found that it was the first person in the team to play a wonderful 2+1 when he made a free throw without MVP calls, and only then did he remember that it was only after 05 years that he was beaten by the blacksmith brother after scoring brutally after the season.
Raheem and Antoine Walker both got excited and began to fight for bayonets!
……
……
Usually, Antoine Walker rarely goes inside, and he always shoots from mid-to-long range.
Can you imagine a two-meter-three, fat-man-sized, 110-kilogram power forward who averages six shots per game, more than half of which are three-pointers?
This is Antoine Walker, a god-level prodigal who averages 3.1 three-pointers per game with a 34 percent shooting rate, can you dare to imagine that a team's No. 2 scorer is shooting less than 39 percent?
But really return to the style of playing to break through the inside and chisel under the basket, Antoine Walker is really strong! No worse than Rahim!
If Antoine Walker focuses on basketball and chooses the right style of play, his offensive performance will not be worse than Raheem, and even better than Pierce, there are many players who are selected as All-Star starters in their sophomore years or even as All-Star starters in their rookie year, but there are really not many players who can be selected as All-Star benches in their second year, and they are still ahead of Dennis Rodman and Chris Webber, who was just selected as an All-Star in 97.
The scores of the two teams in the first quarter entered the high-scoring mode, and after the first quarter, Raheem scored 21 points and Antoine Walker scored 23 points, which is about the same, Rahim was slightly behind, but the Hawks led by 6 points at 33-27!
It's all about rebounding! Muhammad and Ratliff quietly combined to score 10 points on an offensive rebound.
The Hawks still have an advantage, Antoine Walker returns to play inside, there are certainly many benefits, but there are also disadvantages, that is, his organization on the outside is gone, he is the team's second scorer, the first three-pointer, and at the same time, he is also the team's assist king, averaging 22 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season, and the talent is really overflowing.
When Antoine Walker held every ball in his hand and chiseled the ball inside, the score was guaranteed, but the team's overall offense was a little worse.
Moreover, Antoine Walker has clearly begun to breathe, when flexibility is guaranteed because of talent, the huge advantage brought by weight is also accompanied by physical weakness, which is probably why he likes to shoot threes so much, shooting threes is much less effort than chiseling inside.
The rhythm of the first quarter was very fast, and there were no substitutions for both teams, Coach Kruger looked at the anticipating Liu Mang and waved his hand in disgust, and Liu Mang rushed onto the court with joy.
Watching others score points makes my heart itch!
And the rhythm of both teams is so fast, isn't this just right for Liu Mang!
Raheem has scored more than 20 points, and it is probably time to rest, and he has been chiseling the inside line, although Rahim is relatively better and not to the point where Antoine Walker's sweat soaked the towel, but it is impossible to chisel for 48 minutes.
Run!
Three young plus nanny plus cool brother debut!
Seeing this lineup, the fans who had been high and booed for half a quarter at the scene did not spare their voices at all and cheered loudly again!
This lineup, the cavalry company is dispatched!
