Chapter 65: Defensive War
Haywood immediately handed the ball to Kidd after a little laugh, but the Celtics players had already finished defensing, and the fast break was definitely not going to work. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kidd dribbled the ball across half court, and after a shot from the free throw line to Nowitzki, Nowitzki didn't continue to the box after a feint shot shook off a slow-paced Glen Davis, after all, Garnett was still under the basket.
Jumping and aiming at the basket, Garnett couldn't bear it anymore when he saw this, after all, Ennowitzki's basket, at such a close distance, was still unguarded, and if it didn't interfere, it would be no different from sending points.
Garnett stepped forward and was about to jump to block, but Nowitzki suddenly threw the ball to the right side of the basket, and Haywood caught the ball with an empty dunk.
4 to 4.
After the opening kick-off, both teams had a decent shooting percentage, but as the defense escalated, the game began to get more and more anxious.
With just over three minutes left in the first quarter, the score was still 15-18.
The Celtics took the lead in calling a timeout, in fact, the Mavericks and the Celtics scored about the same number of goals, but the Celtics mainly played the interior offense, and the only outside shooter has been pestered by Sean Stevenson.
Among the Celtics' Big Three, Pierce and Garnett are both offensive with the ball, only Ray Allen is an off-ball attacker, and his lethality is particularly strong, and Ray Allen is also the most difficult point for the Celtics to defend.
Rondo also played very interesting statistics at the beginning of this season, and even had 24 assists in a single game, and because of his very good physical fitness, he often played about 40 minutes a game, and the Celtics' backup point guard Nate Robinson Jr. was the most direct victim, basically not playing a game for long.
At the end of the timeout, the Celtics made one after another substitutions, with Nate Robinson, Vaughan Weaver, Jeff Green, Glenn Davis and Turkish center Sami Eldon who came on as a substitute for Garnett.
The Celtics have also experienced a number of injuries this season, with Perkins, Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal injured one after another.
Before coming to the NBA, the 24-year-old Turkish center had been playing in the Turkish league for five years. The Celtics recruited Elden as the third center after O'Neal in order to strengthen the team's interior line this summer. In those days, Eldon, who did not speak English well, could only communicate with his teammates through basketball. However, because Elden is very kind, Elden has also won the love of the whole team.
That said, if nothing else, Erden only exists as a mascot, or tosses a towel on the bench until the end of the season.
But the unexpected happened, fate favored Elden, and Celtics head coach Reaves had to change his lineup, while Elden began to enter the normal rotation.
Coach Carlisle took the lead in replacing Kidd off the field, after all, Kidd is old, Rondo can play more than 40 minutes a game, but if you want Kidd to play like this, it will really kill him.
Carlisle Coach Kerry's second substitution is Jet Jason Terry, Terry has a strong offense, but it is still enough to meet Ray Allen with Terry's defense, so after Reeves replaced Ray Allen, Coach Carlisle immediately replaced Terry.
The third one was replaced by Sean Marion, who was not surprised by Lin Hao at all, it was more than enough to reach out to other teams to play the main force with Marion, but to Lin Hao's surprise, this time Coach Carlisle sent Marion on the court to play after playing is indeed his old job, small forward.
Could it be that Cardinal, the white center, really has to wait for a thousand years, and this time it is his turn to play?
Followed by the head coach's unstoppable boxing champion Tyson Chandler, Tyson Chandler swept away the decline of the Bobcats in the early game of the season, averaging 11 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, much better than Brandon Haywood, who started the game.
Then there was no then, Nowitzki was not replaced, he still remained on the field, Cardinal seemed to have been forgotten by Carlisle, Lin Hao finally understood the true meaning of the water cooler manager.
Nate Robinson is only 1.75 meters tall, and Lin Hao has a feeling of climbing high on the field for the first time, even if he bends over and dribbles the ball, he feels that his vision is much wider than usual.
Despite this, Lin Hao still felt Nate Robinson's deep malice, constant interference and various small movements, tough defense, and flexible footsteps.
Lin Hao passed the ball to Terry, who received the ball and dribbled twice, and took advantage of Marion's cover to make an attempted three-point shot, and the basketball slid out of the frame.
However, the rebound was grabbed by Chandler, and the Celtics were heavily guarded under the basket, and Chandler handed the ball back to Lin Hao.
Lin Hao tried to break through Nate Robinson once, but it didn't work, the Celtics' defense was very fast, Lin Hao could only dribble and slowly retreat, otherwise it might be an offensive foul.
Both teams are playing contraction defense, and the basket has begun to become a battleground for soldiers, and it has become very difficult for Lin Hao to break through.
But when it should be sudden, Lin Hao took two steps back, and an acceleration instantly passed Nate Robinson, who couldn't react, and the Celtics defense players thought that Lin Hao knew the difficulty and retreated, but he didn't think that he would not give up, and he couldn't react at once.
After Lin Hao burst into the restricted area, Jeff Green and the big baby Glen Davis surrounded at the same time, Lin Hao didn't think much about it, the ball was out of his hand before they blocked it, and the Celtics' third backup center Elden was completely unable to stop Chandler, the basket slammed, and the two points were in hand.
Before the start of the season, some media made fun of Tyson Chandler, believing that his arrival would help the Mavericks very little.
One is that Tyson Chandler came over as a backup center, but his salary was as much as double that of starting center Brandon Heywood.
There is also a joke that the Dallas Mavericks have a "center club in the NBA environment where the ability to play alone is infinitely close to zero" and has a large number of members, including Bradley, Dampier, Diop, Haywood, Calvin Booth......
But Chandler couldn't join the club because he really had zero ability to play alone in an NBA environment.
From the beginning of the season to the present, the Mavericks have maintained a winning record, only ranking second in the Western Conference regular season below the Lakers, who also have a winning record.
Chandler, who almost got two double-doubles in the game, also slapped those who questioned him hard, and what happened to him if he didn't have the ability to play alone.
Others have three axes, and I have three moves, which is enough for me to establish myself in the NBA.
The first move is a slam dunk, the second move is an air relay two-handed slam dunk, and the third move is an air relay one-handed slam dunk,
The difficulty coefficient is higher than the other, don't ask me how my score came from, look at the above three tricks, anyway, since Kidd and Lin Hao, my mother no longer has to worry about my score.
After only two minutes of playing after Lin Hao came on the field, Chandler had two open catches, and Nowitzki was there to do the heavy duty of attracting the enemy's defense, and he took a break by the way.
When the game was about to end with one minute left in the first quarter, Reeves couldn't sit still, and replaced the main players Rondo, Ray Allen, and Garnett, who had just been replaced for only two minutes.
In the early days, there were many NBA players who played an average of 40 minutes per game a season, not to mention that Rondo was already durable.
Reeves didn't think about whether Rondo would feel tired if they played too long, but it wasn't good on Carlisle's side, they were all old arms and legs, and Carlisle hesitated a little in the face of Reeves' change of formation.
still replaced Jason Terry and replaced Sean Stevenson on the court, after all, Carlisle's concept is still defense, and Ray Allen, as the most difficult point for Celtics to defend, is better to deal with Stevenson, who has better defense.
Rondo didn't play for a while, and the first quarter was over, 20-25, with the Mavericks leading temporarily.
Looking at the Celtics' formation, this is the situation of turning this regular season into a playoffs, and so far this season, due to the Mavericks' excellent record, Lin Hao's personal data is okay. There have been a lot of media advocating Lin Hao, what a talented player, a new generation of rising stars, the rise of the draft or something.
In fact, every year in the NBA, there are a lot of newcomers who rise, and there are even more undrafted mixed up.
But there is a good saying, scarcity is precious, and Lin Hao's Chinese identity is popular with the audience, so the media pays more attention to him. There will always be some people who can't get used to Lin Hao, my data is the same as yours, and my performance is no worse than yours, why is the news focused on you.
At the end of the first quarter of the game, Garnett said to Lin Hao, who was about to leave the game, "Rookie, welcome to the NBA, those dog-day media have lifted you to the sky, but I want to put you in the ground in this game." ”
Although he has long heard of Garnett's trash talk, whether Garnett is trying to win the game or because of something else, Lin Hao is secretly determined to see how I will put you in the dirt in a while.
