Chapter 166 Fight against the Big Three! (Fifth update, thank you [Little Ma loves Tiantian] 500 rewards!)

The Boston group came to the basketball mecca-Madison Garden Square. Pierce, Garnett and others seemed very excited. For these superstars, being able to leave their own records in Madison Garden Square is what they dream of. This This season, all the Knicks' strong men are gone, leaving only a group of newcomers. This is the time to bully them. If you don't strike now, then when will you strike!
Knicks fans are also very excited, the Celtics lineup is too luxurious, three superstars, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, these people were all superstars in the league a few years ago , although they are getting old now, they still show great strength.

Game start.

The starting lineup arranged by Celtics coach Doc Rivers: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins.

The Celtics generals have different expressions: Pierce doesn’t care, Garnett grins toughly, Ray Allen looks focused, Perkins is vicious, and Rajon Rondo’s eyes are fierce. This is the style of the Celtics. It's also the secret to the Celtics' success -- their team spirit and indomitable spirit.

The Knicks' lineup has been adjusted today. Their starting lineup is Gatsby, Larry Hughes, Gallinari, Wilson Chandler and Andrew Bogut.

"Tonight's Knicks lineup has changed. They let Andrew Bogut, who just joined the Knicks, into the starting lineup. Bogut was the No. He played well at the beginning of the season, changed his previous defensive attitude, and became tougher in confrontation, supporting the Bucks' inside defense, but I don't know why the Bucks are willing to let him go in exchange for Nate Robinson and Al Haring Dayton, but Nate Robinson and Al Harrington are worth the price, and the Bucks can't be said to suffer." Jeff Van Gundy explained.

Mike Brin said with a smile: "Bogut still doesn't change his big mouth. He got into a fight with Stephen-A-Smith when he first arrived in the Knicks. Their verbal fight was very exciting. I hope Bogut can be as good on the court. Donny Walsh also came to the scene today, I can see that his expression is not relaxed, he has worked hard for so long, and finally dealt with the bad contract almost, he is not willing to have a bad contract in his hands."

Gatsby saw that Bogut seemed a little nervous, so he went over and patted Bogut on the shoulder and said: "Andrew, protect the frame. If you do this well, you are worthy of your contract. If you do well in the high pick-and-roll, you are worth it." If contracts and high-position support are provided, you will be a top center. Aren't you good at these things?"

Gatsby's words made Bogut feel relieved, these were too simple for him, they were doing the same thing as many nights before, he was too familiar with it!

In terms of high-post support, he played less, but that was a matter of tactical arrangement. He played very well during the Knicks' training, especially the rookie in front of him, the team's boss Gatsby, whose running position was simply too good. Bravo!
Bogut and Perkins jumped the ball in the middle circle. Bogut took the lead in getting the ball for the Knicks. Gatsby dribbled the ball across half court. Rondo tried to come up and wrap his long arms around Gatsby, trying to give him the ball from the beginning. If it were the beginning of the season, Gatsby would be really wary of the pressure. But after more than [-] games, Gatsby has completely adapted to this kind of defense and can easily move the ball to the frontcourt.

Bogut came up to help Gatsby with a high pick-and-roll. Bogut made a block and Gatsby slipped by. At this moment, Gatsby was moved to tears—the quality of this pick-and-roll is too high. !
Thinking of Gallinari and David Lee's pick-and-roll, Gatsby couldn't help but think of a Chinese proverb: Comparing people with others, goods must be thrown away!

The person defending Bogut is Perkins. Perkins is 208cm tall and weighs 127kg. He is a strong low-post defender who likes to fight against opponents. Although the offensive end is close to invisible, the simplest ball cannot guarantee a hit, but The screen is very solid, he provided the Celtics with a solid inside line, and Perkins made great contributions to the confrontation with the Lakers Twin Towers.

But facing a defender like Gatsby, Perkins felt malicious as soon as he came up. Bogut went up to do a high pick-and-roll. He didn't dare to go up. He only dared to shrink to the free throw line and prepare to block Bogut. As for Gatsby, , then it can only be left to Rondo to chase and defend, but Gatsby is different from the guards he has met before. He does not have to break into the three-point line, but directly pulls up from the three-point line and shoots!
Three point hit!

0: 3!

"Excellent! Bogut's pick-and-roll is really solid, and the Knicks are not a loss just for that!" Jeff Van Gundy praised.

Gatsby scored the Knicks' first point, and Perkins was a little confused. Only then did he remember that this rookie was a crazy three-point shooter. He turned to look at head coach Doc Rivers, and Rivers waved away. He quickly joined the attack.

Rondo caught and dribbled the ball across the half court, and while dribbling, he spat trash talk at Gatsby: "Are you just shooting outside like a sissy? It's a kind of one-on-one!"

Gatsby quickly returned to defense, but Rondo was too fast. He would accidentally get past him. Gatsby took two steps back to the three-point line, then smiled and said to Rondo: "This is it." The reason why you don’t shoot?”

Gatsby's words were mean, and what he did was even meaner. Not only did he not stick to his body to defend, but he directly stepped back two steps inside the three-point line, and he shot the ball as soon as he had the guts. Rondo was furious. But he really didn't dare to shoot. This is not his range. If he shoots this kind of ball casually, Garnett will definitely spray him.

When the Celtics came up, they first looked for Ray Allen. Ray Allen circled the baseline from the left wing. Then Perkins made a ball-free screen and ran to the three-point line on the left wing. Rondo passed the ball to Ray Allen, Ray Allen shot a three-pointer before Larry Hughes caught up with him, and he hit it!

3: 3!

Gatsby dribbled the ball for half the court. Today he wants to justify Bogut and let those who underestimate Bogut know that Bogut is definitely an excellent center forward. While dribbling, he signaled to play that tactic.

Gatsby handed the ball to Bogut as soon as halftime passed, then changed speed to get rid of Rondo, and Bogut came hand in hand and hung Rondo to the inside to break through. I went down the middle, and then I found Gallinari on the baseline and made a screen and ran to the bottom corner. When the ball arrived, Gatsby made a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

"Wow, Bogut's high-post support is very smooth. It seems that he has successfully integrated into the team along with the Knicks. His cooperation with Gatsby is very smooth. The Knicks have found a treasure!" Mike Breen praised.
