Chapter 19: The Low-Rank Killer
With Thomas Jr.'s free throws, the Celtics returned a 7-2 for the past minute or so, all of which were won by Isiah Thomas. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Junshan pondered while dribbling, how Harden played in the past, and he really didn't know when he thought about it. Because this season changed to point guard, it was really different. He slowly pushed to the front court and passed to Beverley on the left, and Beverley dribbled through! Burst into the penalty area and cross the ball to Ariza! Ariza picks up and throws! Three points of iron!
Here the Celtics counterattacked, and Thomas Jr. dribbled to the basket! With a flick of the wrist, give Johnson who ran out of the bottom corner! Johnson catches the ball, a light pick-and-roll, and takes away two points!
Wang Junshan dribbled over, and he was ready to attract the bag clamp first and then divide the ball to see if there was an empty space. Break through, go left-handed! Wang Junshan's shirt has changed yearning for the bottom line! A large area of the air is transferred to the left arc top Ariza! There is no one within a radius of 800 miles! Three-point shot! Still missed! Belch! It's really iron, and when the iron is up, it's also iron, don't want it.
Horford took the rebound and handed it to Thomas Jr., who had already stolen it, and Beverley was quick and hurriedly poked the ball out of the bottom line! At this time, D'Antoni saw that the form was not right, and quickly called a timeout.
"Thomas Jr. really has the feeling of Iverson back then, and this Celtic is completely centered around him." Kenny Smith was full of praise for him.
"Look at the Rockets again, as soon as they enter the positional battle, they wilt their heads, and if they don't have three points, they are completely helpless, look at Harden, this is not the Harden we saw at the beginning of the season, it's completely like a rookie on the court." Barkley's comments are sharp and mean, but they are to the point everywhere, and it is estimated that many people can see that Harden is different, but no one can say it.
"James, I need you to step up your individual offense, I need you to step up and score when your teammates can't open the game, you know." D'Antoni pulled Wang Jun's shirt aside and instructed him personally.
Wang Junshan nodded helplessly, it's not that he doesn't want to attack, he feels that he is not as good as his teammates in attacking, but since he asked for it, Wang Junshan is also fully prepared.
Back to the game, the Celtics sent the sideline ball, the ball was sent to Crowder who came out of his pocket, Claude passed to Thomas Jr., Thomas Jr. bypassed the screen, and passed directly to the rookie Jaylen Brown under the basket!! Brown carries Anderson on his back! One after turning around and squeezing away the opponent! Hands violently entering the bottle!!
Jaylen Brown, the Celtics' third-overall pick this year, is a rare player of his age for combining physical strength and speed. In attacking the basket and low-post back-to-back offense, he often relies on his beastly physicality to crush opponents.
Wang Junshan didn't have time to care about anything, so he stubbornly called for cover after half time, and took an arrow step on the left side to break to the basket! Forced to shoot in the crowd!! Directly rewarded by Horford with a hot pot!! Cap out counterattack!!
Jaylen Brown takes the rebound and pushes forward!! Continuous overtaking!! Flying layups on the left!! A mysterious black shadow flew behind him!! Capella!! Spicy fragrant pot! Fan out of bounds.
Is this considered revenge for me, Wang Junshan was hated just now, and 10,000 alpacas were galloping in his heart at this moment, no, he couldn't be so reckless.
Celtic serves, Claude hangs high! Direct... Direct... It was sent to Wang Junshan??? it!! Thanks, Nima!! It turned out that we were undercover, Wang Junshan laughed and ran with the ball, and went straight to the basket.
I have to say that the Celtics' defensive awareness and retreat speed are absolutely superb, and when Wang Junshan ran to the frontcourt, the players on the opposite side basically stood in a defensive position.
Wang Junxian faced Jaylen Brown's defense in the low post on the left side, a crossover, and did not shake off the defender. Wang Junshan directly chose to lean against Brown and began to hit his back.
Wang began to recall the technical moves that Olajuwon had taught him. Lean against the opponent, the shoulders are shaky, the center of gravity changes, and the turnover jumper!! got! it! Wang Junshan hit the second goal of the first quarter of the game.
I don't know why the goal this time gave Wang Junshan great confidence. Falling to the low post again, Wang Junshan's bottom line continued to crossover, one sideways, drilled into the gap under the narrow basket, lifted the ball above his head lightly, Jaylen Brown was deceived, causing a foul, Wang Junshan was lucky to hit the shot in the air, a standard three-point shot. With Wang Junshan's play, the rocket also slowly stabilized the situation.
In the second quarter, Wang Junshan seemed to have completely opened up his offensive talent and began to turn over the river and the sea in the low position. Wang Junshan went to the low position, whether it was Johnson or Crowder, Wang Junshan was crushed into the basket like a bulldozer on the bottom line, turning forward and then turning around! Directly shake the defenders and can't find the north! Easy basket picking!
Horford catches the ball, faces NeNe, and makes a tentative shot! Wipe the cricket ball! Wang Junshirt dribbles, changes to the left low position, a tentative step! Turn around and worship the Buddha after releasing the ball! Slip into the baseline, go to the basket and score two more points!
“oh! Oh my God, this step is almost the same as the big dream back then, has Harden's low-post skills reached this level now? Kenny Smith looked a little incredulous.
"It's embarrassing, I just said Harden's performance...... Haha" Barkley laughed, and he was slapped in the face again.
Thomas Jr. continues to change direction at the top of the arc and shakes Beverly away! A step back for three points! Cold-blooded hit! The Celtics led by four points at 44-40.
Wang Junshan took the ball, passed the front court and continued to play low, lean, let's go! Twice! Lean back! Golden Rooster Independence!! In the middle of the middle! Celtic serve quickly, Johnson attacks with the ball! Give little Thomas to the air cut in! Flying layup misses!!
Wang Junshan jumped high to win the rebound and continued to kill back. An emergency stop change of direction to the left low position!! Misplaced hit little Thomas!! Break through and turn around! Bottom line one step!! Wang Junshan jumped up hard! Meteor Split! Smash the ball into the net!!
The Toyota Center was boiling, the audience stood up and began to do salt sprinkling poses, the 50-year-old aunts on the sidelines writhed to the music, and the DJ on the sidelines chanted "James Haden!! ”
Celtics coach Stevens felt a little bad and quickly called a timeout.
"OMG, what's going on, Harden actually beat the Iron Green Army like this on the inside." Barkley was rather surprised.
"I've never seen Harden show such strong interior ability before, and today he is a big killer in the low post." Kenny Smith was also amazed by the performance he had just performed.
"Look at how many points he's scored, 13! Five of those goals were scored under the basket, which is unbelievable. ”
Wang Junshan didn't think about it so much, he just used Harden's body to show Olajuwon's skills, and it was not unusual to be able to play like this, sitting on the sidelines with a drink and listening to the coach's arrangement.
This presented the Celtics with a huge conundrum, as Harden changed his usual style of play and directly disrupted their pre-game set-up, and they had to reconstruct.
"Johnson and Crowder plus Jaylen Brown contacted to keep an eye on Harden, and when they came in, they clamped him, gave him more physical contact, and consumed his physical strength." Major Marshal Steven rearranged the tactical arrangement and strengthened the interior defense against Harden.
But what they didn't know was that when Wang Junshan walked back to the court slowly, what he thought in his heart was: Well, I'm going to shoot more, shoot a few three-pointers to brush Deng Ge to the scoring champion. You can't keep letting Wei Shao, Curry take it, and brush up more points.
Just made the corresponding arrangement of the inner line for him, and at this moment, it is estimated that the young marshal should be broken in his heart when he hears this.
