Chapter 111: The Active King Cannon
The Celtics' desperate spirit has kept the team in a very active situation, and the Heat are tied up on the court, unable to play effectively on either offense or defense. The score has always been lower than that of the Celtics.
At the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, O'Neal Jr., who came off the bench for the Celtics, suddenly broke out, scored 6 points in a row on the inside, and forced the score gap between the two teams to more than 20 points.
Spoelstra had no choice but to call another timeout, which was already the third timeout he had called, and the game had just entered the second quarter, and the situation was very bad.
But in the face of this situation, Spoelstra has no good countermeasures, all he can do is to repeat the tactical essentials over and over again, and at the same time comfort the players, "Don't worry, play slowly, stabilize the situation!" ”
Having said that, Spoelstra is also very clear in his heart that the situation in front of him cannot be fought back slowly and steadily, and if the Heat wants to regain the initiative, someone must stand up and break the deadlock!
What about Wade? Or James?
Spoelstra has set his sights on two of the most famous and strongest players in his squad.
At this time, Spoelstra completely ignored that on the bench, there was still a fat man, who was constantly moving his buttocks at this time, and looked like he couldn't sit down at all.
After a moment's hesitation, Spoelstra felt that it was better to put Wade and James off the court first to rest and catch his breath to make a comeback.
When Spoelstra set his eyes on the bench, he was stunned for a moment. He saw Wang Dacang's eagerness to look at him, and the things in his eyes were very familiar to him. That's the look of the player who wants to play urgently, the look that longs to be watched!
This kind of look is not uncommon among many rookie players in the league, who don't have playing time. Lack of opportunity for table xiàn. When they are on the bench, they tend to look at their manager with such eyes, hoping to get a little more time on the pitch to prove their quality and get more opportunities.
But what makes Spoelstra wonder is that Wang Cannon has never lacked playing time. In his own team, although he is always incompatible with the tactical system, he is still no less important than Wade James, why does he have such eyes?
Spoelstra felt that the king's eager eyes alone would give him a chance to try it. "King Cannon! Play! ”
"Okay!" Wang Dacang was overjoyed, he thought that the two fouls on his body would make him stay on the bench for a while, but he didn't expect to be able to play so soon! Excited, he almost didn't jump off the bench, what does it mean to be on the field? That's white silver! As long as silver is mentioned, the combat effectiveness of the king cannon will increase exponentially.
Wang Dacang's appearance quickly attracted widespread attention, and his performance in the first quarter can be described as very bad. Although he grabbed two offensive rebounds in front of Garnett under the Celtics' basket, he was soon left early because of too many fouls.
Despite this, Wang Cannon's appearance against the Celtics in the first two games is hard to forget, grabbing rebounds, sending blocks, and shooting three-pointers. It is unlikely that such a king cannon, who is completely different from the super blue-collar state of the regular season, will be forgotten.
The Celtics and their head coach Doc Doc As soon as Wang Cannon came on the field, he was immediately put on the list of absolute dangers by them.
Rondo looked at Wang Cannon. Decisive dribbling to break through the inside line.
Wang Cannon was immediately happy when he saw it, Rondo is preparing to give himself a big gift as soon as he plays!
Without thinking about it, Wang Cannon immediately chased after him, wanting to give him a big hot pot when Rondo made a layup!
But when he approached Rondo, he was stunned to find that Rondo had his head bowed. It crashed into itself.
"Holy!" Wang Dacang was dumbfounded, this was obviously coming for himself! Rondo is a guy who specifically wants to make physical contact with himself!
Wang Cannon then remembered that he had already committed 2 fouls on himself! If Rondo really leaned on and made another foul, it would be 3 fouls. Now that the second quarter of the game has just begun, if I have 3 fouls on my back, I am afraid that most of the rest of the time will be on the bench!
Wang Cannon has been on the bench long enough, how can he go back?
If you were someone else and saw Rondo crashing into him, he would definitely pretend that he couldn't hit Rondo and make a fake fall, even if this is the home of the Celtics, but after all, Rondo took the initiative to bump into him, and it is absolutely right to blow an offensive foul. But Rondo's target is Wang Cannon, with the size of Wang Cannon, can he pretend to fake a fall? Don't say he can't pretend, even if he can, he doesn't want to lose this person.
Let Rondo hit a small point guard with a big head? No kidding!
With such an idea, Wang Cannon flashed directly to the side, because of the full value of agility like BUG, Wang Cannon easily dodged Rondo's fierce look, but before he could be happy, he saw Rondo crooked and had thrown the basketball in his hand.
"I rub?" Wang Cannon just watched as Rondo threw the basketball into the basket. "Is that okay?"
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Cannon found that he had been tricked, by the dead dwarf Rondo!
He just calculated that he didn't dare to go head-to-head with him, and pretended to make a foul, but in fact he was ready to attack from the beginning!
Wang Cannon, who was extremely depressed, could only return to the baseline serve, and then run to the half court with his head stuffed.
Due to the physical problems of the Celtics' Big Three, they also went off the court like Wade James in the second quarter, and now the core of the Celtics on the court is Rondo and Green, two young people, and O'Neal Jr., a league veteran.
O'Neal Jr. was indeed the league's top power forward back then, and during the most invincible period of the Pacers, even Garnett, Duncan, and other famous power forwards had to avoid it. A strong body, super explosiveness, and a soft feel that Big O'Neill didn't have, these are the capital of Little O'Neal in the league. But now O'Neal Jr. is plagued by injuries, and only 12 out of 10 of his skills back then, and it's okay to play as a substitute in teams like the Celtics, and starting is basically a rare thing.
The only thing O'Neal Jr. still has is probably his years of experience in the league.
Unfortunately, the experience he is proud of is useless in the face of Wang Cannon's strange death, when Wang Cannon uses his strength, uses his speed, and uses his bounce to press O'Neal Jr. on the inside, as an All-Star level player who has passed his peak, he can only sigh the ruthlessness of the years.
"Hey! If I were young, how could I have made you so presumptuous? ”
Maybe O'Neill Jr. didn't realize that even when he was young, he might not be able to take advantage of the confrontation with Wang Cannon. In the case of Wang Cannon's hanging, his defense and rebounding values are already full value, even if he is at the peak of O'Neal, it is not particularly difficult to defend.
At this time, Wang Cannon cares more about the alignment with O'Neill Jr., but the score!
In the two games, the Celtics have figured out a little bit about Wang Cannon's routine, Rivers Keazily found that Wang Cannon's three points are just ordinary fixed-point three-pointers, as long as you find a random player to mark on the outside, Wang Cannon's three-point shooting rate will plummet immediately, and under normal circumstances, there is only a dry stare.
In view of this, the players that the Celtics choose to mark Wang Cannon are not the defensive spearheads in the team, generally as long as they are on the outside, the difference between height and Wang Cannon is not large, and the speed is okay, they will mark Wang Cannon on the outside.
As for Wang Cannon's arrival on the inside line, Garnett took special care of it.
In today's game, the Celtics are still following this routine, small forward Green is staring at Wang Cannon's three-point shooting on the outside, Green is much higher than Wang Cannon, Wang Cannon's three-point shooting is basically impossible on the outside, as long as he shoots, he will not hesitate to be covered by Green.
The outside three-point line can't play an effective role, Wang Cannon is not in a hurry, the outside line is not good, let's come to the inside line first, don't forget, Wang Cannon's inside shooting is also 90 points!
Don't look at Green's lack of temper in the outside line defense of Wang Cannon, but when it comes to the inside line, Green can't help it.
Where can his small body carry Wang Cannon's singles on the inside?
Wang Cannon used the inside back to beat Green twice in a row, and Green's face was red, and he couldn't prevent Wang Cannon, after all, the gap in strength was too big.
Substitute inside O'Neal Jr. can only watch helplessly from the side, Bosh is still on the court, his offensive ability is also very strong, and he will shoot from a distance, O'Neal Jr. can only follow Bosh, and he can't help Green make up for the defense at all.
When Wang Cannon ate Green for the third time, Garnett, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't sit still.
"Coach, let me play first!" Garnett couldn't help but say to Rivers.
"But can your body hold on?" Rivers has been working with Garnett for three years, and he also has a deep understanding of the former wolf king, and he can't help but hesitate when he hears Garnett say this. Garnett was desperate enough on the court before, if it weren't for his strong defense on the inside, Wade and James would have broken through the Celtics' defense, and now Wade and James are resting off the court, but Garnett still has to go on the court and fight Wang Cannon, which is undoubtedly a very severe test for his aging body!
"Don't worry! I'm fine! Garnett said firmly! (To be continued......)
