The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 268 267. Hey, what's your mother's last name? ? (4.5K words ask for a monthly ticket)

After the start of the game, as the referee's whistle sounded, the two sides also stood in the middle circle to jump the ball.

In the jump ball stage, the possession of the ball was unsurprisingly won by Howard, who was more physically fit.

As soon as the game started, because Lewis was put on the bench by Van Gundy in this game, this also led to the current space that the Magic can open on the offensive end to become very limited.

Although Amir Johnson also has a mid-range shot on the offensive end, this is not Amir Johnson's regular offensive method.

Most importantly, Van Gundy also did not dare to put the offensive burden on Amir Johnson.

After all, in addition to being able to better defend pick-and-rolls, his appearance is to help Howard share the pressure of fighting inside.

So because of Amir Johnson's starting game at this moment, this also makes the Magic's offensive range further compressed.

For this situation, Stan Van Gundy obviously had expected it before the game, so the Magic did not attack Howard on the offensive end after the opening of this game.

Because when Perkins can defend Howard one-on-one, once the distance on the field is not clear enough, it will definitely be a very bad choice for Howard to play inside.

And Stan Van Gundy, who knows this well, obviously made some adjustments before this game.

I saw that after the opening, the Magic team took the lead in attacking by Su Jiu and Iverson.

And on the offensive end, whether it is Su Jiu or Iverson who will hold the ball, one thing that will not change is that both of them will play pick-and-roll tactics with Howard on the inside at a high position.

As long as Howard mentions the high position, Perkins, who is responsible for the matchup with Howard, has to stay away from the penalty area and be pulled to a farther position.

Although the huge weight can become a great weapon for Perkins to guard the inside, once Perkins is pushed to a high position by Howard, the huge weight will become a major flaw in his defense against pick-and-rolls.

Although defending the zone defense can ensure that Perkins will not be pulled to the outside by this high-position pick-and-roll tactic, Doc Rivers is currently one of the head coaches in the league who dislike zone defense the least.

At least the number of times this Celtics team was really forced to defend the zone this season is definitely one of the few.

Facing Rondo who was defending him, Su Jiu also suddenly accelerated and killed from the front of his eyes after using Howard's pick-and-roll.

Looking at Su Jiu who was rushing straight towards him, Perkins who had already retreated to the three-second zone did not dare to be careless at all.

After all, before the start of the game, the head coach Rivers repeatedly told him off the court to be careful of the aerial connection between Su Jiu and Howard after the pick-and-roll.

You must know that Su Jiu's passing skills are very good. Once Perkins puts all his attention on Su Jiu, then Howard behind him may complete an easy alley-oop.

So before Su Jiu really stepped into the end zone, Perkins was always on guard against Howard behind him, and he didn't dare to rush forward to block Su Jiu's breakthrough route.

Although after defending the pick-and-roll, Perkins can completely let Howard's position in the high post, after all, Howard does not have any shooting ability.

But once Howard is allowed to enter the three-second zone, no center dares to underestimate him.

At the moment when Perkins was hesitating, Su Jiu also suddenly made a gesture of raising his hand during the march.

Facing Su Jiu's movement, Perkins was not sure whether it was a fake move or a real throw, so he still stood in the penalty area and was not easily transferred out.

But just when Perkins was a little hesitant, Su Jiu handled the ball very decisively.

After raising his hand up to make a false move that didn't work, Su Jiu moved sideways directly to the right, and then used jumping steps and Perkins to open up some space as much as possible, and directly completed a long-distance wiping board while walking.

"Shu~"

2:0

Following Su Jiu's pass fake and immediately catching a jumping layup, the entire Orlando Arena erupted into very violent cheers in an instant.

All the fans were shouting crazily at this moment, and the deafening sound was even faintly painful to the eardrums.

Compared with the series when they faced the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs, the semi-final battle between the Magic and the Celtics in this round made the fans instantly crazy.

Because this is not only the strongest set of dialogues in the semi-finals of this season, but also a challenge full of suspense.

No fans know what will happen in this round of the series, and this kind of mysterious event greatly stimulates the fans' desire to watch.

After Su Jiu scored the goal, Perkins, who was in charge of serving from the bottom line at the moment, said something to Rondo slightly dissatisfied.

Compared to the reaction of the Celtics, at this time the Magic's bench, as an assistant coach, Mundy was standing on the sidelines, and when he saw Su Jiu's goal, he also clenched his fists high.

"Beautiful!! Haha! This guy's adaptability on the court is really getting better and better. How about Stan, I said he will definitely not feel nervous in the game, and he will definitely become a great player!! Haha."

Looking at Monty standing on the sidelines with his fists clenched and his face full of relief, Stan Van Gundy, standing beside him with arms crossed, also showed a smile.

"Hehe, yes, it is indeed remarkable."

The Celtics offense, compared to the Magic, the Celtics' offense this season is equally simple.

Due to the positional battle, both Rondo and Perkins in the Celtics' starting lineup have very limited offensive capabilities.

Among them, most of Rondo's points were breakthrough layups after the conversion of offense and defense, while Perkins was the second offense after winning the offensive rebound.

So this also led to the Celtics' offense also being simple and clear in normal positional battle rounds.

In most cases, it is to play the pick-and-roll between Pierce and Garnett.

After all, as an inside player, Garnett's movement speed is flexible enough, and in cooperation with Pierce, who is known as an offensive kaleidoscope, the pick-and-roll between these two people can also form more kinds of offensive changes.

It can often make it difficult for defensive players to make a choice between the two.

In this style of play, although Paul Pierce is responsible for the final end point in most cases, Garnett is actually a key when the two play pick-and-roll tactics.

Because among the inside players, those who are taller than Garnett are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than Garnett are not as fast as him.

So this situation also caused Garnett to be able to produce a semi-displaced state when facing most traditional insiders.

When the opponent is shorter than him, Garnett can use the split after the pick-and-roll to complete the pull-up mid-range jumper.

When the opponent is taller than him, then Garnett can occupy an absolute advantage in speed, often in a one-on-one breakthrough, he can catch the opponent by surprise.

However, it is a pity that after Stan Van Gundy put Amir Johnson into the starting lineup in this game, these advantages of Garnett disappeared.

After all, the Magic's player on the front line is Michael Pietrus, a 3D player who specializes in defense.

Although it is difficult for him to completely lock Paul Pierce in one-on-one, if it only reduces Pierce's offensive efficiency, then it is more than enough.

After Lewis was put on the bench, Amir Johnson was able to make up the defense very quickly when defending the pick-and-roll of Garnett and Paul Pierce.

After all, after Garnett experienced a serious injury, it is impossible for him to be Amir Johnson's opponent in terms of speed.

Even if Garnett wants to continue to use mid-range jumpers to score after the pick-and-roll, Amir Johnson, who has excellent explosive power, is definitely not as easy to deal with as Lewis.

So on the offensive end of the Celtics, when Pierce and Garnett played pick-and-roll as usual, they found that they were facing an unknown combination of Pietrus and Amir Johnson, which can be said to be very low.

The result is that Pierce and Garnett have suffered a dull loss, and they have been unable to find the best offensive opportunity through the pick-and-roll.

And this situation also made the Celtics have to make more pass arrangements. Finally, Paul Pierce completed a long-range shot at a 24-degree angle on the right when 45 seconds were approaching.

"boom!"

Just after Pierce made the shot, Howard and Perkins under the basket had a very intense card position.

This is completely a strong collision between muscles, every push and elbow seems to be exhausted.

And at the same time, since both of them put most of their strength on muscle confrontation, neither Howard nor Perkins could complete the jump immediately after the ball was hit.

After all, at this time, each other's body is hanging on each other's weight of more than 200 pounds.

But just as Howard was about to take off with all his strength to protect the backcourt rebound, the moment the rebound just touched the basket, a black shadow flew out from above the heads of Howard and Perkins.

Before the two of Perkins could react, Amir Johnson took off the backcourt rebound directly on the two of them.

Amir Johnson, who protected the rebound in the backcourt, quickly looked to the side, and then passed the ball to Su Jiu near the half court immediately.

Because at this moment, Amir Johnson remembered clearly in his mind. Before he played, the task Stan Van Gundy gave him was to prevent the pick-and-roll between Pierce and Garnett, and try not to let Garnett easily complete the jumper after the pick-and-roll.

And at the same time, all that's left is to help Howard protect the backboard.

Regardless of whether it is a defensive rebound or an offensive rebound, at the first moment when the rebound was taken off, Van Gundy asked Amir Johnson to transfer the ball quickly, and he must not hold the ball to complete the offense.

So at this moment, for Amir Johnson, who can serve as the starting power forward in the Eastern Conference semifinals, this obviously makes him feel a little excited.

But while being excited on the court, Amir Johnson did not forget the task assigned to him by the coach. After all, this is the guy he eats on the court.

After receiving the pass from Amir Johnson, Su Jiu quickly pushed forward to counterattack.

And because all of this happened too suddenly, when Su Jiu pushed to counterattack, only Rondo on the Celtics side reacted.

Sticking close to Rondo, Su Jiu started to speed up with all his strength, but found that he still couldn't shake Rondo aside.

However, when Su Jiu saw Iverson following behind him from the corner of his eye, Su Jiu rushed to the basket more quickly.

And when Su Jiu started to take three steps near the free throw line, he swung his arm back vigorously, making a pass behind his back.

When Rondo saw Su Jiu's action, he moved back directly, and instantly appeared on the passing route between Su Jiu and Iverson.

It has to be said that Rondo is really a player with a very high quotient. When Su Jiu found Iverson following behind him, Rondo also discovered the existence of Iverson.

So when Su Jiu made the move to pass the ball to the back, Rondo moved laterally to block the passing route of the two.

It can be said that if Su Jiu really made a behind-the-back pass, then Rondo would [-]% steal it last time.

But it's a pity that just after Rondo was shaken and lost his position, he discovered that Su Jiu's sharp arm swing back in front of him turned out to be a fake pass? !

And most importantly, Rondo is getting more and more familiar with this passing action! !

And when Su Jiu tricked Rondo into an open layup easily, Rondo behind him suddenly reacted.

"Fuck, isn't this the fake move I often use on the court?! This time I was tricked by my own move?!"

After easily hitting this unguarded blue lick again, under the cheers of the entire Orlando Arena, Su Jiu, who was retreating, looked at Rondo with a smile on his face.

Then, while passing by Rondo, he said with a mean face:

"Hey, are you familiar with this movement? That's right, I just learned from you secretly."

"Also, I want to give you a little advice. In the future, you might as well stop being called a puller, and just be a jerk, haha."

Seeing Su Jiu's villainous look at this moment, the violent Rondo just wanted to rush up and hit a left uppercut, but suddenly recalled in his mind what Doc Rivers had repeatedly told him before the match.

"La Tong, you must be careful during the match. No matter what Su said against you, you must not be provoked by him."

"Because this guy is just a rookie who has just entered the league, but he is also a well-known troll in the league."

"So if you can't help it, you can spray him back on the field, but remember, don't do it."

"Once you make a move, you will be fooled by him, so remember, no matter what he says to stimulate you, don't be fooled."

Rondo, who just wanted to rush up, threw a left uppercut. After recalling in his mind the head coach's exhortation to him before the game, he endured it abruptly.

However, when Rondo raised his head and looked at Su Jiu, who retreated and winked at him, looking like you are doing nothing to me, the whole person just became more and more angry and angrier.

So when he took Ray Allen's baseline serve, Rondo, who became more and more angry, even unconsciously began to increase the strength of his dribble.

After all, I can be regarded as the champion point guard who helped the team win the championship, but at this moment, he was mocked abruptly by a rookie, but in the end he could only bear it? ! !

And when Rondo held the ball for half the court, he looked at the mean-looking Su Jiu in front of him, and before Rondo could swear back, he heard Su Jiu in front of him say to him seriously:

"Hey, what's your mother's last name?"

　I have been dealing with family affairs for the past two days, so the updates are a little less, but it will almost return to normal from tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
