Chapter Eighty-Three: Pierce in full force

After the end of the first quarter, the Celtics temporarily trailed the Timberwolves with a score of 23:29, and the six-point gap made the old Boston fans in the court a little incredible.

It's hard to believe that the opponent is not the Los Angeles Lakers, a powerful old enemy team, but a new league army from a small city in Minnesota, who can actually press the Celtics in the first quarter of the game, isn't it an illusion?

TRivers the head coach of the Celtics understood the ghost idea played by the young head coach on the other side, and it was very ghostly!

The Minnesotans made a very targeted defense in the first quarter of the game, and they defended Ray Allen very tightly, allowing Ryan Gomez to stick to it, staring at Ray Allen at all costs, and not giving Junzi Jian a chance to catch and shoot on the outside.

For Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo, they didn't let go of their shots, and tried to pull the offensive range of the two to the inside to play.

Timberwolves head coach Frank Vogel is very confident, Rajon Rondo basically has no shooting ability, and Paul Pierce has more offensive skills that are more inclined to small forwards and are good at breaking through scoring.

Paul Pierce's big killer is to make foul skills and unsolvable breakthrough scores, the Timberwolves' young interior is very afraid of this, once they meet the in-form Pierce burst into the basket, then Love and Gasol Jr. will definitely have one of them to lead a foul, and the red-eyed Pierce will be the most terrifying point for the Green Army.

Frank Vogel set the tone early before the game began, with Paul Pierce on the defensive end and Garnett on the offensive end, while Ray Allen just had to defend and not give him a chance to shoot in the open space.

The Timberwolves' strategy is very dignified, and it is to bully your lineup configuration as soon as it comes up, and it is not negotiable at all.

This made Celtics head coach Doc Rivers very distressed, he couldn't think of an effective response strategy for the time being, in fact, it was very simple to break this game, the appearance of a good forward swingman in the Celtics team or the sudden possession of a precise long-range shot by Rajon Rondo.

Then the Timberwolves will definitely die a miserable death, the former can easily connect Paul Pierce on both offensive and defensive ends to maximize the destruction of the Timberwolves' defense, and the latter can allow the Celtics to appear a long-range firepower output point, making the team's offense more fluid and natural.

However, the value of an excellent swingman is too high, there are too few such people in the league, LeBron James is one, Durant is also one, Iguodala is also one, these people are the cornerstone of the team, and Cory Brewer is barely one, but he is on the opposite half at the moment!

As for making Rajon Rondo suddenly have an accurate long-range shooting skill, it is really a bit whimsical, Rondo is good enough, the performance in the past few years has surprised the management of the Celtics, but it is a little unrealistic to think more, although a Rondo with projection ability will make up for the shortcomings of the Celtics lineup, it will also cause great variables to the Celtics' future salary pressure and team chemistry.

What is the value of the contract that can suddenly invest in Rondo? Will Ray Allen's further compressed possession force this introverted and withdrawn player to leave the team?

These things all have the same chain reaction as dominoes, and if you touch and change one of them, it will cause a huge chain reaction.

Rivers can only clearly tell Paul Pierce to try his best to unleash his power on the offensive end, now the score is behind, the situation is a little difficult, as the leader of the team, he needs to stand up and carry the banner of the team, and lead the team through this difficult time.

As long as Pierce is not restrained and lets go of playing, then it will revitalize the Celtics' full-court offense, and at that time, the Timberwolves will have a hard time coping.

Now the Celts are just taking a nap, and it is a terrible consequence for a sleeping tiger to be awakened, and the young wolves need to come up with more and better ways to hunt this giant tiger!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Cory Brewer discovered a very serious problem, and now Paul Pierce is like a beast in a cage, trying to release his endless bloodthirsty desires step by step, and begins to storm the cage again and again to regain his freedom.

Corey had felt Paul Pearce's eyes get hotter and hotter, his dribbling was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the ball hitting was starting to get louder.

Paul Pierce was probably about to explode, and he couldn't limit it for long.

Cory Brewer felt a little bitter in his heart, he was still not strong enough, Paul Pierce was too strong, and now he couldn't limit him all over the court, just at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Pierce's offensive desire was already getting stronger and stronger, and it was about to be uncontrollable!

In the third minute of the second quarter, Paul Pierce broke through to the basket, shook directly past Cory Brewer, and made a strong layup.

However, Paul Pierce had already opened it, the ball still scored, and the basketball obediently rolled into the basket, and the Celtics fans watched the whole process of this goal When they saw Paul Pierce pull up his jersey, the whole audience resounded with thunderous cheers, and everyone was cheering for Pierce's wonderful goal.

In the fifth minute, Pierce leaned against Corey Brewer, a realistic shooting posture easily deceived Brewer, Paul Pierce quickly retracted his very deceptive shooting action, smoothly stepped back and jumped, the crosshair was very good, the basketball hollow into the net, counting the 8 points in the first quarter, Paul Pierce had scored 13 points at this moment!

Cory Brewer put his hands on his knees, his mouth couldn't stop gasping, he looked at Paul Pierce's provocative eyes after the goal, the bitterness in his heart became more and more intense, but he still gritted his teeth and was ruthless.

He's going to get stronger! What if the opponent is Paul Pearce?

The stronger the opponent, the more worthy of defeating yourself!

Then the situation became worse and worse, and the young players of the Timberwolves already felt a dark cloud hanging overhead, and in the low-pressure atmosphere, they couldn't even breathe smoothly, and the game was too depressing!

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular!

Paul Pierce faked a real pass and hoisted the ball to the low-post wolf king Garnett, who directly carried Lefu to score a slam dunk, roaring fiercely and arrogantly.

During the Timberwolves' offensive round, Brewer quickly attacked the basket and tried to score a layup, but a shadow rose behind him, and a big hand that covered the sky intercepted the basketball directly in mid-air and pressed it the rebound, interrupting Brewer's fast break!

A chasing hat from the Wolf King!

Garnett coldly glanced at the Timberwolves players on the court, his eyes were lonely and indifferent, like a wolf king patrolling the people under his own territory.

The situation is even worse, the Celtics have already two points up......
