Chapter 208 vs. Celtic 2

Luke half-crouched down, steadied his position, and began to defend seriously.

Against a player like PP, Luke knows that his small steps are completely useless, and he may be directly knocked over and knocked down by them. It's not really a knock down, but once you get hurt, you can't get it. After all, the league has entered the second half of the game, and such an injury is unwise. So Luke still opted for a face-to-face one-man defense.

Mixed in the NBA, and at the same time an All-Star (although not yet there), of course, there is a one-and-a-half-trick that can be regarded as a housekeeper. The same is true for PP, who of course has his own "nirvana". Luke's ugly posture is to defend PP's "special move".

The first is the "Ground Cannon", which is quite an ugly trick, but very practical. With his feet lightly off the ground, he could even say that he was rubbing against the floor and shooting a three-pointer on a jumper. It's not a sight-wrenching move, but it's a stark contrast to Ray Allen's lightning-fast three-point move, where he doesn't focus on using speed to get rid of opponents, but on minimizing physical wear and injury. Therefore, this action is very slow, which requires PP to have considerable skill to throw the defenders away, so that there is a chance to use this "sitting cannon".

For this "ground-sitting cannon", PP has invented two other "nirvana". They are a retreat step and a "PP-style" breakout.

PP's step-back is now perfect, and the whole set of moves is very coordinated and natural, and it is very easy to fool defenders, which allows him to use "ground-mounting" and "PP-style" breakaways very well. "PP breakthrough" is a skill that is very suitable for PP, because it is a combination of fragmented small steps and strides is a killer feature to increase the success rate in the breakthrough, coupled with the burly body, the breakthrough is simply a probe for PP. Coupled with the mixed use of the "ground-sitting cannon", the opponent is overwhelmed.

It's because PP is so strong that Luke has to make such a weird stance to defend. Half-squatting down to defend can lower one's center of gravity, and can prevent PP's breakthrough at any time, and Luke after half-squatting down is like a compressed spring, as long as PP dares to shoot. Luke was completely sure that he could fan PP's shot out.

Luke awaits the attack of the PP. PP is also struggling with how to attack.

In the preseason, PP suffered Luke's loss, and it was a big loss, even with the use of his strongest back play. But at the end of the first quarter, I was almost too tired to stand up. It's a big headache.

"What a geek!" PP commented on Luke. "I really don't know how his thin body has so much strength!" PP dribbles while observing the form on the field.

"Okay. Or do it myself! This is the final conclusion of the PP.

PP is not like a lot of guard swingers, they like to use a little feints, cross steps or something. PP doesn't have as many tricks, he uses his nimble feet and strong body more to open up his own attacking mode. However, PP will still use its own retreat. Now that it's used, PP dribbled directly like a step back, which opened up the distance with Luke, and had a chance to shoot, and also prepared for his breakthrough acceleration.

Luke certainly wouldn't be so stupid, just a slight step forward, making PP nervous a little.

"Holy!" It's so open! I'm really not afraid to shoot! PP was upset to see Luke open like this.

"Good! Since you let it go so open, then I'll just vote! PP didn't make any other moves, and just jumped and shot.

Although PP's three-point shooting rate in his career is not too high, the highest season was also the later 09-10 season, which was only about 41.4%, and the current season is only 38.3%, but most of them are when someone is defending, PP is still very confident in this kind of almost empty shot, especially the feeling of shooting just now, so what a cool word! In the feeling of PP, this ball will go in nine times out of ten! This would slap Luke in the face. Now he's starting to retreat to the backfield to defend, ready to go back to meet Luke's attack. But he decided to stay and watch the ball go in before leaving. He wanted to see Luke's look of surprise.

Was it really a mistake for Luke to vacate such a large gap? Of course not. The reason why Luke left so much space was to let PP let his guard down. And after opening up the space, it is more conducive to Luke's breakthrough in defending PP. As for shooting. Will Luke be afraid?

"Boom-" The ball didn't fly into the basket as PP thought, didn't hit the rebound, didn't even touch the basket. Because after he made a shot, Luke took the ball in the air.

Paul Pierce's shooting is different from many people, the posture is very weird, although not as weird as Marion's, but it is still very different, there is no high shooting point, no high arc. Especially his "ground-sitting cannon"!

And just now, in order to save physical strength, Paul Pierce used a "ground-mounting" shot, instead of using the usual shot. Then Luke just blocked PP's shot. and even broke the ball with the cover grab.

"It's broken!" It's the number one concept in the minds of all players. Reed got rid of Randy Brown straight away and ran straight to the frontcourt. Luke didn't skimp either, and directly passed a super long pass to Reed.

PP also knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurried back to defense, PP's current defense is generally not bad, but the defensive attitude is relatively negative in games that are less than critical games, and his judgment of the opponent's offensive line is average, and he does not know how to use this strength to create offensive fouls. It was only after the Wolves King Garnett joined the Celtics that PP's defensive enthusiasm improved greatly. Now his defense is mediocre. Reed didn't hesitate at all, scoring a layup to open the scoring for the 76ers. "Paul, what are you doing?" Celtics coach Rick Pitino on the sidelines started yelling, "Don't do that, attack and blow Luke!" ”

"Yes, Coach!" PP knew that it was his mistake just now that caused the fast attack just now, and PP didn't dare to say more.

Celtic attacked again. It was still Randy Brown who was in possession.

For the kind of ball that didn't go in just now, Randy Brown didn't believe PP anymore. But a word from Rick Pitino stopped Randy Brown from passing the ball to someone else. "Randy, give the ball to Paul and let him play!"

"Okay." Since it was the coach who spoke, Randy Brown still had to listen. Randy hands the ball to PP.

After what just happened, PP didn't have much to do in the face of Luke.

"Well, I'll admit I can't do it alone." PP said silently in his heart.

So PP decisively opened another ultimate, summoning the hero Anthony Walker to appear.

Although Anthony Walker was once killed by Luke, he is still a good player, especially at this time, when he and PP have appeared together.

Pierce summoned Anthony Walker, and Anthony Walker was in direct place.

Pierce passed the ball directly to Anthony Walker, and then escaped with the pick-and-roll, while Luke was blocked by Anthony Walker, "Holy! "There's really nothing Luke can do about this kind of pick-and-roll. However, Luke can switch to defend Anthony Walker, and Paul Pierce will hand it over to Tyrone, but the cooperation between the two twins is more than that. After PP handed the ball to "Fat Man", he directly used the block to dismantle Luke and hit the inside.

And the "fat head" Anthony Walker on the outside did not throw indiscriminately, did not lone, but passed the ball back to PP.

"Good chance!" Everyone can see that the now unmarked PP has a very good chance.

PP went inside alone, and he still had the ball in his hand. This threat is very terrifying.

PP was fearless in the face of Tyrone Hill's defense and went straight head-on! Tyron Hill didn't panic either, standing firmly in place, staring at the PP who was moving quickly towards him. He could see that PP wanted to dunk. If he dares to dunk, then Tyrone Hill believes he will nail that ball to the rebound.

Of course, PP knows it, but it's still fearless. I saw him fly up with the ball in both hands and fly towards the basket.

And Tyrone Hill on the other side is the same, he also flew up the moment PP jumped, and his palm went straight to the basketball, and he wanted to fan the basketball down before PP dunked.

The two sides fought like this! (To be continued......)
