NBA villain

Chapter 759

The Celtics have integrated offense and defense, and the rhythm control is also very good. With Pierce as the core, the strength of the team's lineup has risen several levels.

After half a quarter, the Celtics led the Warriors by 11 point 10-1 at home.

After the long timeout, Rivers took the lead in making changes. In this year's draft, the Celtics selected the No. 4 pick Jeff Green to go into battle and replace Michael Pietrus.

Jeff Green's reputation is not small. In his junior season, he was elected as the most outstanding player in the Big East and helped Georgetown University reach the NCAA semi-finals for the first time since 1985. Even Allen Iverson has Haven't done it.

Jeff Green's body data is very good, and his excellent performance in the trial training has made his draft market all the way up. Before the Supersonics, Rockets and other teams have asked the Celtics to buy this player, but because there is no A suitable bargaining chip, and finally shelved the plan.

After playing 9 games, Jeff Green averaged 9.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1 steal and 0.8 blocks per game. His comprehensiveness and defensive talent gradually emerged. Celtics Bishop Rivers publicly stated , will focus on training Jeff Green.

Jeff Green's playing time will not be much less than the starter, and he has a good chance.

After he appeared on the stage, many fans stood up and cheered. It seemed that the young man already had the first fans to support him in this city.

The Warriors have yet to perform a lineup rotation.

On the side of the backcourt, Yang Di serves to Baron Davis.

……

"The Celtics lineup is very good, with a young and energetic backcourt, a mature and stable forward, and an experienced penalty area gate. The offense and defense are balanced and the division of labor is clear."

ESPN expert Arnowitz praised in the Express: "The entire Celtics is a super defensive defensive formation, including Rondo, Jeff Green, Paul Gasol and Ben Wallace, and even the Celtics. Paul Pierce is also a player who can defend and is good at defending."

In his writing, the current Celtics team is comparable to the Detroit Pistons a few years ago, and from a certain point of view, it is more like an enhanced offensive version of the Detroit Pistons.

Another ESPN expert Wilson wrote: "Today's league is an era where all heroes rise together. In addition to the traditional strong teams such as the Warriors, Cavaliers, Spurs, Mavericks, and Suns, the Celtics and Lakers have also joined. There are two teams that are clearly also at the top level, one each in the east and west, and the competition is more intense."

"The Warriors have also enhanced the depth of the lineup. In the Warriors, even the competition among marginal players is unprecedentedly fierce. After Baron Davis returns, the Warriors will truly appear as the Big Three this season. The team's The strength is stronger than last season, launching the most solid impact on the three consecutive championships."

The intense game between the Celtics and Warriors seemed to prove these points.

Even if the Warriors have won the championship for two consecutive years, in the third year, they are still not expected to be able to defend the championship. The entire NBA is in an unclear situation.

In fact, the Warriors, who fought back-to-back, were gradually exhausted. They felt cold for a while in the second quarter, and the Celtics took the opportunity to overtake the score. At the end of halftime, the Warriors led 46 to 40 by 6 points.

Yang Di didn't feel good in the second quarter either. He missed both jump shots and scored 2 points by free throws.

In the second half, the Warriors strengthened their outside shots, and Montgomery knew that it would not be a good choice to fight the Celtics like this. The Warriors still have several away games in the Eastern Conference. They would rather find a feel at this time and play more easily. Defensive counterattack, stay in position.

Ray Allen felt good and hit consecutive 3-pointers to overtake the score for the Warriors.

The Celtics therefore called a timeout.

"Every time Ray Allen comes to Boston, it's like he's on the hook, and his shots are very accurate." Fans remember the situation when Ray Allen came to Boston to fight last year. In that game, Ray Allen was a god Possessed in general, the audience scored 45 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, including 3 9-pointers.

Rivers called a timeout and asked Pietrus to mark Ray Allen with a candy-style defense.

After Ray Allen attracted the defensive focus, there were relatively few opportunities. Yang Di wanted the ball inside and had to turn around forcibly, causing a foul by Ben Wallace.

"I didn't foul, the referee, are you sure you see clearly?"

Ben Wallace patted the basketball and shouted doubts at the referee. He was like a thunderbolt, like a golden bell. The referee glared at Ben Wallace and immediately gave him a technical foul.

Ben Wallace looked dazed and wanted to defend himself, but he was held back by the calm Gasol and Pierce, but with their strength pulling him, it felt like pulling another strong bison, which was extremely hard.

Daben is not a rookie either. After getting a technical offender, it is mainly because the Warriors have been chasing points and even overtaking the score during this period. He is the player who most wants to win the Warriors. He made a huge mistake, he turned back and stood outside the three-point line, his eyes had regained his composure.

Ray Allen made a technical free throw.

Under this wave of offensive, the Warriors overtook the Celtics by 52 points 49 to 3.

The Celtics attacked, Pierce fell to the low post, keenly grasped that the morale of the Celtics was declining, and then asked for the ball to prepare for singles.

As the undisputed leader of the Celtics, it's time for him to step up.

Pierce took the ball, turned around, and tested the defensive Danny Granger.

Danny Granger raised one hand high, ready for battle.

Paul Pierce took a tentative step with his right foot, pulled the ball horizontally with his right hand, and made a tentative breakthrough. Suddenly, he kept his left heel on the ground, took a step back, and shot like a green onion on dry land.

Granger covered Pierce's eyes, and Pierce raised his hand to shoot.

"Shh!"

The mid-range jumper was hit steadily, which seemed to be a particularly difficult ball.

The Celtics fans cheered and gave their leading core a flood of applause. They have seen Pierce's performance in the past many years, and they have long been accustomed to and like such a changeable offensive method.

The Warriors quickly served the baseline ball, and Yang Di received the ball from outside the three-point line. Facing Ben Wallace, who came out to defend, he dribbled the ball under his crotch.

Swapping the ball from the left hand to the right hand, poking the shoulder with the right hand, then suddenly hitting the ground and pulling horizontally, then changing to break through from the left side, stepping out with the right foot to form a cross step, just like a textbook swaying breakthrough.

Ben Wallace didn't have much trouble, but Yang Di changed direction a lot, and he was at a disadvantage in an instant.

Reaching out to stop Yang Di, he slapped him on the arm again.

The benefits of taking a technical foul just now were reflected. The referee was hesitant about this obvious foul. When he was about to call again, time passed for a while. Yang Di failed to break through and passed the ball back to Byron- davis.

Davis's breakthrough effect against Rondo is also mediocre, with a mid-range emergency stop jumper.

Missed, the rebound was accepted by Gasol.
