I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 160 159. Who told him to pick the wrong opponent
can you?
Garnett had this question in his mind.

Let's not talk about Chen Long's crazy performance and the rhythm of God, just say that Pierce's recent state is a bit sluggish, averaging only 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

This has something to do with the loss of Rajon Rondo's tandem, but it also proves from the side that Uncle Pi's ability to create scores independently is declining.

Are the Celtics in a group at their peak?Yes, but the Big Three are all at the tail end of their peak period. They can play a good regular season record and even reach the finals again when the Eastern Conference is out of reach, but their personal abilities have begun to decline.

Pierce's confrontation ability is getting worse and worse, and Garnett feels that his brother is impulsive.

But this can’t be said directly, let’s take a look first, maybe experience can overcome talent...

In the Celtics' offensive round, Pierce asked for the ball to play post-up in his favorite position.

It can be said that Chen Long's defense against this kind of ball is easy, because he has strength and experience, and he doesn't even need death coil to deal with Pierce.

Pierce habitually looked at the position of his teammates.

But he immediately focused on dealing with Chen Long. As a player who is good at attacking, Pierce believed that he could still beat this young man.

In the first confrontation, Pierce felt like knocking Chen Long away.

How did this kid become weaker?
Pierce, of course, used his full strength, so it immediately felt that this matchup might be easier than expected.

In fact, Chen Long deliberately did not use his full strength to defend.

Because an old fritter like Pierce would never continue to dig into it knowing that it won't work.

In the second confrontation, Chen Long slightly increased the strength of his foot, and then made room for Pierce to turn his back and go to the basket.

As expected, Pierce was fooled, received the ball and turned around. At the moment when he was dribbling, Chen Long seemed to have predicted it, and suddenly stretched out his long arms to destroy his attack.

The basketball flew into Sean Marion's hands.

The hackers did not directly organize a counterattack, but made a move to make a long pass.

I saw Chen Long winking at Rose, and Rose rushed forward at full speed, and Celtics point guard Eddie House desperately chased him.

But Rose is just a cover, and the real fast break finisher is Chen Long himself.

Chen Long first walked away from Pierce slowly, and then suddenly accelerated to throw off the three-point line where Pierce had killed the Celtics.

The hacker had already been passed to Ross, and Ross passed back, and Chen Long rushed over, riding on Eddie House's body to complete the dunk!
The Boston home fans were angry because Chen Long was blatantly provoking the Celtics.

Chen Long dangled from the frame, deliberately jumped in front of Pierce, sneered at the captain of the Green Army, and said, "You are old, hurry up and retire!"

Paul Pierce went mad in an instant, and then posted it in front of Chen Long and sprayed trash talk, and it was the kind that greeted his family directly.

When Kevin Garnett heard that Pierce broke the unspoken rules of trash talk, he reminded Pierce to keep it close.

Chen Long didn't show any sign of backing down, and continued, "Old garbage man, if you get an FMVP by chance, get lost."

"..."

Paul Pierce couldn't bear it at all, and then pushed Chen Long hard but didn't push him away. Chen Long still had that contemptuous expression.

Now, Pierce raised his fist and punched Chen Long's chin.

Chen Long's reaction was quite quick, and he dodged Pierce's first punch with a slight side movement.

Wait until Pierce hits the second punch.

The referee, who had been playing dead, rushed over and separated the players on both sides.

If this kind of scene does not expel the players, the game cannot continue. The referee glanced at Chen Long, but Chen Long never raised his hands. Although he spat some trash, it was definitely not a foul.

Seeing Pierce being held and controlled by Garnett, the referee directly made an expulsion gesture.

Seeing that Pierce had been expelled, Garnett suddenly let go of the brother.

Pierce knew that he was being plotted by Chen Long, so he pretended to turn around and leave, and suddenly rushed back to the court, kicking Chen Long's back violently.

No one expected that Pierce would refuse the referee's decision to play again. The same was true for Chen Long. He reacted quickly, but he didn't have eyes in the back of his head.

At this time, a tall man with wavy hair rushed over and knocked Paul Pierce who jumped into the air with heavy shoulders.

There is no doubt that this big man is Joakim Noah who has the nickname Nuo Ma.

Noah happened to be between Pierce and Chen Long. At this time, there was no other way to protect Chen Long except to hit Pierce into the air.

So Noah didn't think too much about it.

Pierce fell heavily to the floor.

Because no one was protecting him, his chin made intimate contact with the floor.

With a snap, Pierce's jaw exploded, and blood immediately dripped on the Celtics' center circle team logo.

Looking back at this scene, Chen Long felt nothing but disgust and no sympathy in his heart.

A man who thinks dirty is tough deserves his body to pay.

The referee blew his whistle again, just as he was about to expel Noah.

Chen Long grabbed the referee's hand and said, "Please think clearly before calling the penalty. An expelled player re-entered the field and hurt someone maliciously. Noah reacted instinctively in order to protect his teammates. Do you think he Is there something wrong?"

Hearing Chen Long's words, the referee immediately showed a embarrassed expression, because Pierce had indeed been expelled from the field, and he had indeed made an unexplainable flying kick. Noah's motivation to protect his teammates was not a problem.

The only dispute is whether it was against the spirit of professional sports for him to push Pierce away.

The referee discussed with the line referee, and then revoked the whistle on Noah, and at the same time added a T to the Celtics team.

Paul Pierce couldn't stand up anymore. He felt that his jaw had lost feeling, and the blood was flowing so that he broke out in a cold sweat.

I think Pierce was so strong back then that he could recover quickly after being stabbed in the body, and then played. Now Pierce just broke his jaw and can't get up anymore.

At this moment, Pierce realized that he was really old.

The team doctor came up and carried the Celtics captain out of the field. Due to the blood on the field, the game was suspended for a long time.

Chen Long patted Noah on the shoulder, and then said to him, "For your actions just now, as long as I am with the Bulls, the Bulls will never abandon you!"

Hearing this, Noah smiled in relief.

As a smart person, Noah believes that holding Chen Long's thigh can accomplish many great achievements that the NBA predecessors could not imagine.

For example, this year's Bulls are very likely to reach the finals and win the final championship.

Noah, who is full of infinite desire for victory, can't resist the temptation of the champion.

There is no problem with the Bulls, but the Celtics lack captain Pierce, the Big Three have become the Big Two, and Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen can't pee in the same jug, which makes Doc Rivers anxious broken.

"What's wrong with Paul?" Rivers, who is a coach, couldn't help complaining.

Kevin Garnett gave him a blank look and didn't reply.

Ray Allen said quietly, "Who told him to pick the wrong opponent!"
