Chapter 407: Inhuman Battle
(Today, the fisherman updated three chapters with more than 13,000 words.) The monthly pass list is dangerous to ask for a monthly pass)
"Coach, you listen to this voice, it's so fierce, it's the first time I've heard such a loud cheer in the North Shore Garden."
On the bench of the Boston Celtics, Stephen Green, the assistant coach next to Zhuang Fei, said to Zhuang Fei with an excited face, at this time, the assistant's face was full of joy and joy, and at the beginning of the game, Maddy took the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc and then went directly through the through basket staged by Carter to carry Rashid Wallace's dunk It was really exciting.
It can be said that the swingman who has been suppressing his offensive ability this season ignited the passion of the scene, and the more than 20,000 Boston Celtics fans in the stands of the North Shore Garden Arena also tilted their cheers from all sides of the stands, and the entire arena instantly boiled.
It's just that at this time, Zhuang Fei didn't have the joy of Stephen Green, and at this time, Zhuang Fei looked at all the situations on the court with some worry.
"Tracy, well done"
"yes, we can win this game today"
The Boston Celtics players slapped Maddie from the basket one by one, at this time these people completely released the pressure before the game, the Grizzlies are a strong team, there is no doubt about it, most people were not optimistic about them before the start of this game, in fact, before the start of this game, the Boston Celtics also played a lot of strong teams, such as the Timberwolves, such as the Spurs, but these strong teams are a little different from the Grizzlies, and the Boston Celtics are not under much pressure when playing with the Timberwolves. Winning or losing doesn't make any difference in the team's standings, but this game against the Grizzlies is different.
Although Zhuang Fei has been downplaying the fact that he can reach the top with a victory, these Boston Celtics players are naturally very aware of such things, and it can be said that the pressure of this group of players was very high before the game, and this may be their most important game so far this season.
The Boston Celtics fielded the same lineup at home in this game. The team's guards are James Posey, Maddy, and the forwards are Jackson and O's. The center is Yao Ming, the five people have not changed, but according to Maddie's request, Zhuang Fei threw this swingman to the second position, that is, the position of the scoring guard, so that he and Carter are completely opposed.
And on the grizzly side. They also haven't changed much, the guards are Billups and Carter, the forwards are Artest and Rasheed Wallace, the center is Ben Wallace, this season the Grizzlies have been putting Olajuwon on the bench since signing the legendary star Olajuwon, the team's center position is Ben Wallace and Olajuwon share playing time, which also makes Big Ben's data this season not very good, but it can also make Olajuwon better to maintain his competitive condition, and the current Grizzlies team's interior bench depth can be said to be the first in the league.
Carter is not a manic player, especially after entering the NBA. In a sense, he's about the same as Duncan, so the Grizzly boss didn't say much after Maddie's opening provocation, as if it was a trivial matter for him.
It's just a little surprising that although Carter's facial expression is very indifferent, his actions in the next round surprised all the Boston players and fans in the stadium. After Billups dribbled through the halfcourt, the Grizzlies' playmaker immediately handed the ball to Carter and he himself stood outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left. …,
At this time, the rest of the Grizzlies seemed to have a tacit understanding, and after Billups went to the weak side, the others were all in one-four positions, opening up space for Carter to hold the ball between the center circle and the top of the arc.
Obviously, this goal is a singles. A single between Carter and Maddy, from the beginning of this game, Maddie and Carter, the two cousins, were on the bar, which also made the 20,000 Boston Celtics fans on the scene also have some expectations, they are very curious to know what the result of the competition between the core of their team and the most popular player in the league will be, not only these fans are concerned, but the Boston Celtics assistant coach Stephen Green on the sidelines has clenched his fists tightly, and then looked at the court with an anxious face, And the Chinese next to him is also deeply frowned, as for the Grizzlies head coach Jerry West on the other side is also behind his back, and then looked at the field a little deeply, no one knows what this Grizzly coach is thinking, but I am afraid that this head coach is also not easy.
At this time, Carter had dribbled from the middle of the middle circle and the top of the arc to the position of one step outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and Maddie was standing on the three-point line with a cat waist staring at Carter, at this time, the core of the Boston Celtics was extremely focused on attention, because Maddie was much taller than Carter in height, so even if the two were still some distance away, but from the side, Maddie could still cover Carter, so even if Maddie let him go, he couldn't get up and pull it out directly, so, Carter will definitely break through like Maddie just now.
"Hmph, you dare to provoke Vince, it's just beyond your strength"
Just when Carter and Maddy were preparing to face off at the top of the arc, Artest, who was at the bottom of the 45-degree three-point line on the right, snorted coldly, in his opinion, his boss is invincible in the current NBA, and no one is his opponent except for the great god Jordan, this Maddie will be torn apart by his boss, and Jackson next to Artest did not look good after listening to Artest's cold snort, and it was at this time that Carter, who was quietly confronting Maddy, finally moved.
The league's No. 1 outside player quickly started and then prepared to accelerate directly to eat Maddie, Carter's first step of breakthrough is known as the fastest in the NBA, it can be said that in many times Carter breaks through the opponent as long as the first step accelerates, there is no need for other fancy moves at all, but it is obvious. As Carter's cousin, Maddie is also very familiar with Carter's ball skills and style, and the two have practiced together, so this time the defensive Maddie will put Carter a step and use his height to cover him, you must know that it is very dangerous to let him take a step with Carter's shooting ability, but for Maddie, this is indeed the best way to defend Carter.
Maddie, who was fully prepared, was not thrown off or overtaken by Carter's first step, but Carter's overtaking was stopped by Maddie. Maddie completely blocked Carter's path.
"This kid has a good defense" Even Billups, who was watching from the side like Artest, was eye-catching, and there are only a handful of players in the NBA who can make Carter neither shoot nor break through in his individual singles, so to speak. Now there is no one on the outside of the league who can match Carter in speed and cover Carter in height, just like in the last game, although the Grizzlies lost to the Lakers, but the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, who is known as the league's most potential guard, was spent by Carter. That guard is also very good defensively, but because he doesn't have Maddie's height, he can't do it when defending, and he often loses sight of one or the other.
Of course, this is the first time Billups has seen Carter get caught up in an official game, and the same is true for the rest of the Grizzlies, and Artest, who was still scorning Maddie just now, chose to shut up this time. …,
"This kid seems to be really ready," Zhuang Fei nodded secretly on the sidelines. Zhuang Fei has always had reservations about Maddie's desire to find Carter alone, but judging from the current situation, Maddie is indeed ready, and this time Maddie's defensive attention is extremely concentrated. In this case, even Carter is extremely difficult to do.
"Oh my God, how did he do it, Tracy was shaken down?"
Just when Zhuang Fei looked at the two people on the court and fell into deep thought, a burst of exclamations from the Boston Celtics fans in the audience immediately pulled Zhuang Fei into reality, and at this time, Zhuang Fei refocused his attention on the court. Carter, who was originally entangled with Maddie, has been separated from Maddie, and what surprised Zhuang Fei even more was that Maddie was kneeling alone at this time, while Carter had taken a step back and stepped on the three-point line again.
Obviously, even if Zhuang Fei didn't see a series of actions between the two just now, Zhuang Fei could guess that Maddie was shaken down by Carter, but although Maddie was shaken down. But soon got up again from the ground and quickly pasted Carter again, at this time Kurt had started again, from the current point of view Carter is the advantage, after all, Maddie has been reversed once, and there is not so much time to defend, but even so, Maddie still relied on his strong mobility and physical talent to stick Carter again.
At this time, not to mention that the other Grizzlies players on the court were a little speechless, even the Grizzlies head coach Jerry West on the sidelines was a little speechless, this Boston Celtics kid has too strange physical talent, so much taller than Carter, the movement speed is not worse than Carter, even the flexibility and coordination of the body are against the sky.
Although Maddie relied on his physical talent to stick to Carter again, but after all, Carter still had the lead, so when Carter was using that little space to prepare to shoot outside the three-point line, Maddie was also forced to fly, obviously, Carter's first shot was a feint, but when Carter was about to shoot again after shaking Maddy, Maddy, who had already flown out, suddenly completed a turn in the air.
"Danger!"
Just when the Grizzlies players watched Maddie turn in the air with some surprise, Carter still shot according to his established steps, at this time Maddie had already flown behind Carter, Carter couldn't see Maddy's movements at all, if Carter continued to choose to shoot according to his own steps, then this ball would be directly knocked out by Maddie from behind.
"Huh?!" Unlike the Grizzlies players, Zhuang Fei was a little surprised, because Maddie's action reminded him of the 2000 All-Star, when Maddie also risked Kobe Bryant with such a move.
"Wow~"
Just when Zhuang Fei wanted to look forward to what the result would be this time, the Boston fans at the scene let out an exclamation again, only to see that Carter, who was about to jump again, did indeed follow the steps to the three-point line, but the boss of the Grizzly Bear was a three-point shot floating in the air, and at this time, Maddy's big hand did not hit Carter's ball, but slapped directly on Carter's hand, and the snapping sound was clearly audible.
It's just that even after being hit hard by Maddie, Carter, who was drifting to his right, still threw the basketball in his hand. The referee next to him also blew the whistle at the moment he threw it, and the ball Maddy fouled when he shot from outside the three-point line.
"You already guessed that I would fly out and turn around and block it?" Maddie looked at Carter with a puzzled look after falling from the sky, and at this time, Maddie's face was solemn, and there was no joy at all when he hit Carter at the beginning.
"yes, I've seen it before," Carter didn't hide it, and after smiling at Maddie, he looked at the Boston Celtics bench. Obviously, he was with Zhuang Fei on the court watching Maddie almost beat Kobe Bryant with this trick, and the god-like Maddie of that All-Star has always remained in Carter's heart, and such an opponent needs to be vigilant enough for him. …,
"Oh. That's right," Maddie didn't say anything after giving Carter a deep look.
And just as the two were communicating, the ball thrown by Carter flew into the basket under the noses of more than 20,000 people at the scene. At this time, the 20,000 fans at the scene, plus all the players on the field, all looked at the two players who had just staged an 'inhuman' offensive and defensive performance.
There was silence in the audience, and only when the referee signaled Carter to take a free throw, everyone in the audience reacted. And then there was a commotion again. At this time, Maddie looked at the back of Carter's free throws and was also a little frustrated, just now he had done his best, but in the end Carter completed a 3+1, although he already knew the strength of the person in front of him. But when I really fought him, I realized that his strength was simply suffocating.
"Coach, Tracy has done his best for this ball" Stephen Green, assistant coach of the Boston Celtics on the sidelines, said with a regretful face, just now Maddy's defense is no worse than any defensive player in the league, and he is not to blame for the final failure. After Stephen Green finished speaking, Zhuang Fei also nodded, he naturally knew that Maddie was not to blame for this ball.
"Ahem, Director Zhang, this ball is beautiful. Do you have anything to say?"
In the stands of the North Shore Garden, Mr. Xu pretended to cough twice to hide his embarrassment, just now he and Director Zhang were briefly silent, for a commentator such a thing should not happen, no matter how beautiful the situation on the field is.
"Hmm. It's beautiful, it's really beautiful" just made Mr. Xu a little comforted, and Director Zhang next to him was still a little indulged in that attack and defense, and it was obvious that this guy was even more unbearable than himself.
But at this time, Mr. Xu couldn't help but look at the two people on the field again, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart, are these two guys still human?
Of course. At this time, not only the two commentators from China are still losing their minds, in fact, many people are like this, but this game cannot be stopped because someone is distracted, on the contrary, this game has begun to slowly deepen.
Obviously, the game started beautifully, whether it was Maddy's dunk or Carter's three-and-one was good enough, but after the start of the game, the game turned around.
The trend of this game is definitely not a spectacular head-to-head battle, on the contrary, it is a suffocating defensive battle, and the two attacks in the opening of this game are 'deceitful'. In the next few attacks, Maddie also got a few one-on-one opportunities with Carter, but it was clear that Maddie did not get a single success in these opportunities, and even the breakthrough of the first quick start that Maddie has always been very proud of was a little difficult under Carter's defense.
Although the Boston Celtics had some difficulties on Maddy's offense, but similarly, the Grizzlies' offense was also a little difficult, after the opening three-plus-one, Carter focused more on defense, and he left more opportunities for his teammates when attacking, but whether it was Artest or Billups or Rasheed Wallace, the three of them were a little difficult when facing Jackson, James Posey and Xiao O.
It can even be said that the ending of these three is not much better than when Maddy faced Carter, plus the current two teams are new head coaches who have just entered the reconstruction, and both teams do not have much system on the offensive and defensive ends, especially on the offensive end, both teams are very dependent on the individual performance of the players and the drive of the team's core players from the current point of view, and it is obvious that the core players of both teams have not led the team's offense in this game.
This makes the situation on the pitch completely deadlocked, and it is extremely difficult for both teams to score for a while. However, such a situation was within Zhuang Fei's control, and he didn't have too many other ideas.
This game was a 10-10 draw between the two teams when the official timeout between the two sides was six minutes old, but when the official timeout between the two teams ended, Zhuang Fei saw a slight change in the Vancouver Grizzlies.
"This team is ready to change the way they attack"
Zhuang Fei quietly looked at Carter, who was in possession of the ball on the court, at this time Carter had appeared in the No. 1 position, and Billups had become the No. 2 position. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
