Please call me Ding Shenxian in the NBA

Chapter 160 157. Kai Niu turned into a confrontational battle? (first update)
The referee threw the basketball high into the air, and Ao jumped to the ball for Kaizi.

Even if Xiao Ao has experienced serious injuries and is old, his role on the offensive end is still stronger than the "boxing champion" who can only eat cakes.

For the first attack of the Celtics, Rondo handed over to Jermaine Jr., who was holding the ball in the low post. Jr. turned around beautifully to shake the boxing champion, and changed hands chicly to the basket to pick the basket and make a hit.

Ao often played this kind of offense during the Pacers period.

Others don't understand, but Artek is too familiar with it.

Back then, the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills was just the trigger for the Pacers to miss the best chance to win the championship. What really disintegrated the Indiana Youth Army was the secret power struggle between Artest and Akari Jr.

At that time, both of them were proud of themselves, and neither of them accepted the other. The Pacers locker room was also divided into two forces.

You must know that the head of the Pacers is 'Big Bird' Larry Bird, how could he tolerate these younger generations engaging in internal strife under his nose.

He gradually cleaned up the players from Artest's faction, and Jr. was not a winner, because in Larry Bird's mind, the upper limit of this Pacers lineup is to reach the playoffs, and it is not worth using them as a team to build a championship-level team.

In other words, Jerome became the leader of the Pacers at that time, but he also wasted the price of his peak period in vain.

After scoring the goal, Xiao Ao's expression was very calm, and he no longer showed his sharpness when he was young.

Unlike Garnett, Ray Allen and other veterans of the same age, Jermaine O has been completely reduced to the team's blue-collar center.

And it's not the Celtics' first center choice.

As long as the Sharks and Roupa return, he can only be the third substitute.

In order to get more playing time under Rivers, Xiao Ao told himself that he must get better data.

Changing sides to fight again, the Mavericks played a nimble back run, Ding and Nowitzki tore apart the Celtics' defense line from left to right.

However, the real knife of the Mavericks is Gilbert Arenas!
Kaizi switches defenses very quickly, but there are loopholes.

With the help of the boxing champion's pick-and-roll, the general faced the slow-footed little Ao, and easily changed direction to the basket and hit a layup!
If Xiao Ao was at his peak, he would never have been so embarrassed.

Possessing top basketball talent and athletic ability, he was also the gatekeeper of the inside line, especially with first-class defensive ability.

Given Arenas's not-so-quick first step, blocking shots should have been a piece of cake for him.

Now his brain can react, but his body can't.

Seeing the embarrassment on Xiao Ao's face, Director Zhang sighed, "For a top player, the most irresistible injury is time."

"When I watched Jermaine O'Neal play in the past, he was omnipotent. It's a pity that I didn't meet like-minded teammates in the peak period to chase the championship together!"

"I am old enough to the Celtics. I hope he can get a satisfactory result at the end of his career, but seeing the current situation of the Celtics full of injuries, it is too difficult for them to win a ring."

After Director Zhang finished speaking, Duan Ran added, "Back then there was O'Neal in the East and Shaquille O'Neal in the West. They were once the strongest centers in the league."

"As a result, they turned around and became teammates now. I don't know what others think. The lateness of a hero is the most embarrassing."

Director Zhang replied, "Yes, I guess, if the Celtics win the championship this year, O'Neal and O'Neal may both retire from the league."

"But it's a pity that the Celtics didn't make a particularly commendable deal, and the Big Three also locked up their space."

"And in order to get Garnett and Ray Allen's draft picks and potential rookies, their team can't see any anger."

"Not winning the championship this year should not be the worst. I guess the Celtics will go through a painful reconstruction."

Director Zhang's analysis was correct, but he didn't know that Angie was rescued by the Nets executive Billy King who was eager to get results.

The out-of-witted Nets traded a large number of draft picks to the Celtics, instantly turning the Celtics from a sick sunset red to a youth army.

Angie really gotta kowtow to Billie King.

Without the fearless spirit of the Nets, the Celtics would not have selected the subsequent Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum!
Back in the game, Garnett finished the pick-and-roll for Rondo, and facing his old opponent, he withdrew to his sweet spot to catch the ball.

Rondo's distribution is trustworthy.

Even though Nowitzki defended well, he couldn't stop Garnett from making a comfortable mid-range shot. The basketball hit the rim and stumbled into the net.

Garnett turned and gave Rondo a high-five.

It was said before that the top ten on the MVP list is only the Heat's Janeway and the Mavericks' Dino, but if it is to expand to the top twelve, there will be the Kaizi's Garnett and Rondo.

Rondo continued to improve on the basis of the assist king, and the offensive end has also made great progress.

In addition to not being able to develop a three-pointer, his finish at the basket has become more and more stable.

Seeing Rondo's performance, Kidd returned a guide to hit the north, Nuo Tianwang shot the ball as soon as he caught it, and made a hollow three-pointer!

There was applause for Nowitzki in the Airline Center Arena.

For the Dallasites, Nowitzki's presence upended their influence on big men.

Ah Lian, who was sitting on the bench, silently recorded Nowitzki's running experience, because he had to play like this when he went up, and he had to be so decisive in his shots.

Nowitzki is the ultimate answer to the high fort!
5:4, the Mavericks lead by one point!
"Both teams have a good touch tonight, and it is estimated that they can score a high score!"

"Yes, this is the smooth offense that a good point guard can bring out."

"Kidd and Rondo are the same type of point guards. Let's see if Kidd gets older and gets better, or Rondo punches the master!"

It turned out that the highlight of the game was the old and new enmity between Ding and Pierce.

As a result, the others played so well that they lost both of their presence.

So much so that when it was the Celtics' turn to attack, Pierce, who was good at floor-flow singles, asked for the ball and was ignored by Rondo.

Because he won't let Pierce, who is more risky, play against Xiao Ding.

I saw Rondo jumping up and making a fake pass to deceive Kidd, and then before landing, he succeeded in a one-handed throw.

Kidd and Rondo laughed at the same time.

The difference is that Kidd's smile is full of displeasure, and Rondo's smile is full of pride.

When Pierce returned to defense, he asked Rondo, "You should believe in my scoring ability!"

"Yes, I believe it."

Rondo replied with a smile.

At this time, he already has the faint intention of controlling the Big Three, because he is a supercilious character.

"Why then?"

"Do you really want me to say it?"

When Rondo spoke, he tilted his head towards Xiaoding. The subtext is that I believe in your scoring ability, but I also believe in Xiaoding's defensive ability.

Rather than letting Pierce reduce the success rate of the offense, Rondo might as well come by himself, and the possibility of scoring is even greater.

First Garnett, then Rondo.

Pierce was a little embarrassed, he was actually looked down upon by his brother and younger brother at the same time?
Damn Ding, what magical powers do you have to make people think so highly of you?
