From today on is the king

Chapter 191 190. Is this an empty call?
Pierce hit 4 singles in a row!
Pierce, who is at his peak, has better overall strength than Raheem. Raheem’s ability value of 91 is higher than Pierce, but Raheem’s offense is not as strong as Pierce’s, because his defensive role is greater. Pierce is too comprehensive. Three-pointers, back shots, and mid-range shots are all stable and versatile.

If Raheem defends Pierce, Pierce will definitely not play so easily, but Raheem has to save his energy and wait to defend Antoine Walker. There are two All-Star frontcourt players.

Pierce received the ball again, this time Liu Mang couldn't help it, he let go of Joe Johnson and came to double-team, Pierce was very sensitive to defense, his first reaction was to find a teammate who was free...or forget it, the chance of passing to that rookie is not as high as his own.

Pierce changed from a right-handed turn to a left turn, his right shoulder caught Newbell, and at the same time got rid of Liu Mang who had just double-teamed from the right, made a one-step throw from the free throw line, and hit it again!

Get 10 points in a row!
The Eagles have no advantage!
At this time, the Eagles only saw one point clearly, that is, Pierce may be better than Antoine Walker, regardless of whether it is outside or inside offense! Scoring 3 points in less than 10 minutes, Pierce is really better than Antoine Walker in all aspects except rebounding!
As a point guard, it is very important to judge how to play the current situation.

Pierce is currently second in the league in scoring, and he is quite efficient. Using Raheem to defend against lack of physical strength, and using Nubell to defend even if double-teamed can't stop him.

Since you can't guard against it, it's better to just ignore it!

Let's attack!
……

……

One thing is often a headache not to solve it, but to think about how to solve it. When there is a situation that cannot be solved, it is better to leave it alone.

The situation in the second quarter became a situation where the Eagles continued to speed up, and then Pierce played slowly.

No wonder Pierce didn't ask for the ball when he was running and playing in the first quarter. That's not his style.

If you can't defend, just attack!Both teams have the same idea.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Eagles replaced Raheem with Chris Crawford and continued to run, while the Celtics replaced Pierce with Kenny Anderson and Walter McCarty, tall forwards who can shoot three-pointers. Pierce began to score and pass, and the scores of the two teams continued to rise.

After halftime, the Eagles led the Celtics by 71 points 64 to 7!
71 points in the half, setting a new record high for the Eagles in 15 years!
The last time the Hawks scored 70+ points in the half, it was back in the 80s when the tempo was ridiculously fast. I didn't expect to score a new high in more than ten years with an Eastern team!

During the halftime break, what coach Kruger said the most was "You shot very well and decisively", "You rebounded very well", "The second offense is good"...

In fact, at halftime, if it is an anxious and well-played game, unless it is a tactical control like Popovich and Mike Brown or a coach with more than 300 on-the-spot tactics in the legend, most of the coaches at halftime are more Encourage or scold the players, continue to mobilize or mobilize the enthusiasm of the players, the method is just different.

This kind of offensive end has been fully played, and the defensive end cannot be defended and there is no way to defend it, but the situation has the upper hand, so the coach emphasizes the part that has not been done well, and they are more willing to continue to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players. Lest the bad aspects remain unchanged, and the good aspects are delayed.

The Hawks players were playing very well, and the data rose very fast, very fast, quite fast. Raheem scored 25 points in the half, Liu Mang scored 7 points and 2 assists, Jason Terry also scored 11 points, Ratliff, Muhammad, and Newbell scored 27 points in the half.

For the Celtics, Antoine Walker and Pierce both scored 20+ points and scored 45 points in half the game.

After the start of the second half, the Eagles replaced the other four starters except for Jacqui Vaughn, and it was time to start using Raheem to go inside.

In the second quarter, Raheem was basically resting, and now he has sufficient physical fitness. In the third quarter, he made a strong foul against the inside line, made two free throws, and opened the point difference to 8 points.

Antoine Walker seemed to have been chiseling for so long in the first quarter. He rested for half an hour before recovering. He felt that he was too tired from chiseling, and then started to shoot...

The nightmare of the Celtics has begun. The two forwards can open up the space and support singles, but no matter how many years they can’t work together, they will never achieve the effect of one plus one equals two. In the end, Antoine Walker was sold by the Celtics at the age of 27. There is no reason for it. The two were on the court at the same time.

The Celtics were able to survive the first quarter because Antoine Walker was still holding back his breath to challenge Raheem one-on-one. After resting for so long, the Celtics could no longer raise that breath. They felt too tired.

Antoine Walker dug the hole with a black shot. He was tired of shooting, and Pierce had the ball. He worked hard with Kenny Anderson, Rodney Rogers and others to fill in the hole and chase points.

Of course, the Celtics have these players, and their comprehensive strength is not bad, at least at the level of the 76ers and Raptors, or even better. When facing less powerful opponents, Pierce's ability to average points per game, which is now second in the league, drives his teammates. Antoine Walker is after all an All-Star level. Standing there is a threat to opponents.

But the Eagles are considered one of the top three teams in the Eastern Conference, and the Celtics are not chasing points if they want to.

At the end of the three quarters, the Eagles opened the point difference to 20 points, leading the Celtics 97 to 77 by 20 points into the final quarter.

……

The turning point was a 20-point lead in three quarters.

After the start of the last quarter, the Eagles wanted to relax a little bit. Unexpectedly, after Antoine Walker left the field, Pierce became mighty again, as if breaking free from a cage, and scored a few goals in a row, narrowing the point difference to 15!

Pierce still refused to admit defeat!Although the publicity point of this game from the beginning was only the duel between Raheem and Antoine Walker, as for the outcome, probably except for Celtics fans, not many fans who have watched other Celtics games would think that this team, which Antoine Walker averaged more than 20 shots and scored 20 points per game, has a chance to win against the powerful Eagles.

At the end of the third quarter, the rest of the Celtics were about to give up. For them, playing the Eagles was not much different from playing the strongest teams.But Pierce said no!He refused to admit defeat!

Although the Eagles built a defensive iron barrel, Pierce still relied on his personal ability to forcefully chase points.

Pierce's hands were really hot today. He scored 30 points in the first three quarters and shot 17 of 13 from the field.

The main reason is that there is no point that can compete with Pierce!
Raheem needs to defend Antoine Walker, or he has to rest. Others have already been beaten up several times. Chris Crawford and DeMar Johnson are seriously disadvantaged in strength.

It was the Celtics attack again. Pierce received the ball and faced Liu Mang's defense, ignoring Liu Mang's hand that was about to stick in his eyes, and decisively hit a three-pointer with a backward jumper!

Only eleven points left!
After the start of the last quarter, Pierce started a crazy point-chasing mode. The Eagles played very easily before, but now they are all in a state of slack. Both offense and defense are slack, leading by 20 points, and the opponent does not seem to be able to resist.
If a team scores 2016-120 points in the first half and nearly [-] points in the three quarters, the final score may not be very high. For example, after [-], the Warriors often scored [-] points in the first half and broke [-] points in the third quarter.

This situation is normal, because the front is too smooth, and it is taken for granted that the score in the back is played according to the rhythm in the front, while the opponent plays harder and tighter, and it is not so easy for the side with a big lead to score in the back.

Coach Kruger quickly called a timeout.

He was chased for nearly ten minutes!Coach Kruger was angry: "Press up to defend! Can you just use your eyes to defend? Look at Ace! See how he is defending with his heart! If you bastards are still standing like stakes on offense and staring at you on defense, sit on the bench for me!"

Liu Mang said that he really didn't want to defend Pierce, but for some reason, the defensive task suddenly fell on him!The height alone is more than ten centimeters shorter, how to prevent it?

"Sherif, go out and replace Chris, don't worry about that gigolo, protect the rebound, and defend if you need to!" Coach Kruger finally calmed down a little, and let Rahim play to protect the rebound, and at the same time, defend Pierce's breakthrough. Instead of worrying about Antoine Walker coming up again to stir up trouble, and worrying about Antoine Walker regaining his head and playing inside, it is better to defend the point difference and not give the opponent a chance.

After thinking for a while, Coach Kruger asked Jason Terry to replace Emmanuel, hoping to improve his shooting. Although Jason Terry played very badly against Kenny Anderson and Eric Strickland today, he couldn’t catch the ball many times, but his shooting was still accurate. He already scored 15 points. He only got one shot for a three-pointer, but he made it. After the start, I can't make it at all!

After the start of the fourth quarter, if Pierce led the team to penetrate the Eagles' defense and chase points continuously, it would be better to say that the Eagles' own offense suddenly misfired inexplicably. Otherwise, it would be like the second quarter.

The reason is that the offense can’t make a shot, and this situation will happen. If you can’t defend yourself, you must play well on the offense, so coach Kruger replaced Jason Terry, who has not had many good shooting opportunities today, and wanted to rely on the offensive firepower of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Raheem to continue scoring.

But the reality is a killing knife. Jason Terry let coach Kruger down. Today, he took fewer shots and scored by free throws and counter layups. He only shot a three-pointer. His hands were cold, and he went on the court as instructed. He took the ball and started doing it, but he hit the ball directly on the neck of the basket.

"Oh..." With the sighs of the audience, coach Kruger directly covered his face and turned his head to the other side. He really couldn't bear to watch it. Is this still called a three-point shooter?It's so ridiculous!
It is estimated that only a certain player wearing the No. 8 jersey can compare with this ball in terms of joy in the playoffs.

The fans at the scene have been moaning and sighing continuously for the past few minutes. No one can imagine why the situation suddenly changed?Why is it like this all of a sudden?

Aren't we leading by 20 points?Why does it seem that my side is in a state of desperation, and the opponent plays so decisively, scoring consecutively?

Fortunately, the Eagles have Raheem, who beat Eric Williams in the confrontation for rebounds and won the rebounds.

Raheem, who got the rebound, wants to pull up a dunk to boost morale!However, he felt quite heavy on his body, and his shoulders seemed to be bound by two iron chains. Eric Williams hung directly on Raheem!
The key is that the referee didn't blow!The referee seemed not to hear Rahim's roar.

Who made this a game in those years at the beginning of the century!

Rahim, who failed to dunk the ball, has already raised the ball, but he can't use his hands and feet. The ball is dropped and hit the backboard!
This ball was even more ridiculous than the three-pointer just now. It didn't even touch the basket and flew directly to the other side of the backboard. Raheem couldn't even grab a rebound to make up for it.

The fans at the scene continued to lament and sigh. The Georgia fans in front of the TV felt that the Eagles wiped something dirty before the start of the fourth quarter. How could it be such a virtue?Why is it like this all of a sudden?

Only the California fans were laughing. Jason Terry's three-pointer and Raheem's dunk went away. If a 300-pound guy in Los Angeles wanted to make a basketball show at this time, he would probably have a lot of fun. This material is not bad!
The rest of the Eagles were just about to return to defense, and none of the three insiders could grab the ball in the direction of the ball, suddenly!A sinister figure appeared!
Liu Mang didn't know how to solve the first big lead but he didn't know how to play. He has no experience. This kind of scoring shortage after leading by 20 points really can't be solved, so he can only be more active!

Although being positive may not always bring gains, but not being active is definitely not rewarding!

No, Liu Mang slipped to the other side of the basket between Raheem and Eric Williams, jumped up and pushed the ball in the air...

Two points hit!

Alley-oop!Liu Mang's first alley-oop in his life!
After Raheem grabbed the first offensive rebound, everyone's attention must have been on him. Eric Williams even hung his body directly on Raheem. He originally wanted to foul, but unexpectedly the referee didn't blow it. It turned into a good defense. At this time, Liu Mang actively rushed in to make up for it!

The fans at the scene can finally cheer a little, and it turns out that the rookie is the strongest!
On the contrary, the technical table is very distressed. Is this ball a second offense of a rebound after a missed shot?Or is it an assist?
　This Strickland is not the Strickland who scored and assists very well, but the undrafted Strickland with strong defense.It's a mouthful.

　　Of course, it’s time to check in again~ There is still time to ask for a recommendation ticket~
