overlooking the pitch

Chapter 71
In the past three years, there have been two finals and one championship. What kind of turmoil has this Celtics team never seen?Even Tim Duncan made a last-minute tying three-pointer in the playoffs, not to mention that Anson still has a 30% three-pointer from the outside. They just served calmly and continued to attack.

The Celtics play very well as a team. They have the Big Three, oh no, it should be the Big Four. Rajon Rondo's growth has made him a star player now. In the starting lineup, He plus Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett are all All-Star players, but they are steady.

As a point guard with almost no three-point ability, the biggest reason why Rajon Rondo was able to flourish in the NBA and become the man who passed the ball to the Big Three was his sharp breakthrough.

The basketball is like an elf flying up and down in his hands, and his pair of palms, which are definitely a pair of giant palms for his height, powerfully controls the basketball.

Changing direction, accelerating, the whole breakthrough was done in one go, Randy Foye was passed by like a puppet in front of him, Anson's defense was very fast, and his excellent lateral movement made him quickly appear in front of Rajon Long Much left front.

The basketball was passed out in a weird way. If Anson hadn't been prepared, Paul Pierce would have caught the ball and sent a dunk, but no matter how fast Anson's footsteps were, he would not be able to reach the outside line at this time. Eric · Gordon also defended the inside, and Paul Pierce's pass was once again just right to Ray Allen on the outside.The same posture, the same arc, the same sound of brushing the net.

"Wonderful passing, beautiful conduction, now you can join me in chanting Ray's name, one of the greatest three-point shooters in history!" Charles Barkley stood up and shouted frantically, he didn't have any scruples Is this the Clippers' home game? With a big mouth, he always thinks of what to say.

Don't be afraid that the opponent has a superstar, but you are afraid that the opponent has a superstar and play better than your team. There is no doubt that the Celtics on the opposite side are such a team.

But the Clippers played very easily, because they found that An Sheng's touch was very hot today. When he was in the training hall a few days ago, An Sheng trained the hardest.

Many defensive players have the same mentality. When you are facing a player who is usually inaccurate for three-pointers, even if you score a three-pointer, you still have to let go of his defense to prevent breakthroughs, and a three-pointer For a person with accurate balls, even if the first 9 balls are hit with iron, when the 10th ball is shot, he still tries to defend with all his strength.

The Celtics are an iron-blooded defensive team, but they also have this kind of mentality. Anson received a point from Eric Gordon in the bottom corner, and Paul Pierce made up the defense. He obviously left room for this ball. The recovery speed is not fast.

As soon as he got into the soul, An Sheng was the same as in the training a few days ago. He didn't seem to see Paul Pierce pounced on him. What the shooting coach said during training sounded in his ears: "When your foundation is enough When it’s good, the most important thing about shooting is to have enough confidence, don’t be afraid to shoot, when you hit the first shot, you have to keep your shooting aggressiveness.”

"It's really strange. It should be Eric who confronted Lei. I didn't expect that China An's hands were overwhelming today. He has hit two consecutive three-pointers."

"I remember the last time the reporter with the team said in the newspaper that the people who train the hardest in the Clippers should be Ann and Ryan. Although they can't see Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning like Kobe, they never Can't catch the last subway."

"It shows that he's trying to improve his shot. I like players who work that hard. If I ask you, he's going to be our future, no question."

Clippers fans are very pleased with Anson's performance in the first quarter. They still remember Anson's draft report: Pros: Excellent single defense and top help defense, top physical fitness, guard-like speed and beast-like His jumping ability allows him to be an All-Star or even a superstar, and his good vision and off-ball movement allow him to contribute to the team without holding the ball.

Disadvantages: Facing players who are not much worse than him in physical condition, his ball handling is below the league level, and his outside shooting is not trustworthy.

The advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, and in the first few games, An Sheng was able to shoot about 31% of the three-pointers, which satisfied the fans, but today, his three-pointers exploded again.

Ray Allen had a good touch, and he made three of four three-pointers in the first quarter. This kind of night is not common for him, but the number 19 on the opposite side, Ray Allen squinted his eyes and looked at An Sheng, his posture was not the same. Not pretty, and his shooting speed is not fast, but his shooting has his own rhythm. Facing the defense, he calmly threw three three-pointers. It was his performance that allowed the Clippers to bite the score in the first quarter.

"Nice job, buddy, if I were David Stern, I would definitely pull you for a halftime urine test right now." Eric Bledsoe jumped up and gave Anson a bear hug.

An Sheng patted his head: "Don't worry, you will explode when you go up, and it will be your turn to perform later."

The Celtics' champion coach frowned as he looked at the score that hadn't been stretched. This was a back-to-back away game. His initial idea was to stretch the score and make it into garbage time early, while the team's offense Ray Allen's three-pointer and Rajon Rondo's breakthrough allowed this slow-paced team to score 29 points in the first quarter. For a defensive team like the Celtics, this is not disappointing. Already a high score.

But what I didn't expect was that the Chinese who hadn't been noticed by himself had hot hands today, and the team put all their attention on Blake Griffin and Eric Gordon.

"Paul, keep an eye on that guy. There's something wrong with him today. He takes on more offensive tasks when Ray rests." At this moment, he had to admit that his defensive strategy had failed, but there was still time. For young people like Chuan, it doesn't take much time to beat them, just one knot.

Paul Pierce's deep and slightly magnetic voice sounded: "Boss, as you wish."

If the Celtics' most reliable end point is Ray Allen, who often executes big-hearted shots, then their most reliable single player is the 08 Finals MVP, who has repeatedly disrupted the 23VS24 Finals Paul · Pierce.
