Chapter 176

The talking geek is Paul Pierce Rasheed Wallace.

Kevin Garnett didn't get involved, but his expression was tacit approval.

Before the game, he also watched the discussion between the fans about Lin Ri and him. Many fans supported Lin Ri's victory over Kevin Garnett.

This made Garnett very unhappy.

But Garnett himself is also very clear that he has only a little tail left from his peak period.

And this guy he has to face, although he is only 19 years old, young is really young, but he is really fierce, if he is 5 years younger, he should not be afraid of this guy, but now, he has to be careful...

and.

I didn't ask them to target that newcomer!
That's what they want to target that newcomer!

It's nothing to do with wolves~
Ray Allen just looked at it like this, his temper prevented him from competing with a newcomer.

And Rajon Rondo is standing behind a few of their veterans learning how to become another veteran.

……

The game starts soon.

Lin Ri jumped the ball with Kevin Garnett.

"Wolf King" glared at Lin Ri.

How to understand his behavior, well, let's put it this way, for him, this is a way to motivate his teammates.

Because when his momentum takes over, his teammates will definitely be encouraged.

It's just that the result of the jump ball was that Lin Ri grabbed the ball.

Hey, this kid is interesting, he is not afraid of me!

No, watch me keep staring at you!

Lin Ri didn't notice that Kevin Garnett's expression became more severe when he looked at him.

According to Gentry, his main responsibility tonight is the defensive end.

But this does not mean that he can be "invisible" on the offensive end.

He still has to do something.

Just not being the main attacker.

He can still help his teammates cope.

Just like now, Rajon Rondo entangled Steve Nash immediately after halftime.At this time, he can quickly move to the high position, fake a pick-and-roll, forcing Rajon Rondo to pay attention to his position.

In this way, Steve Nash can get rid of Rajon Rondo's defense more easily.

Sure enough, Rajon Rondo caught a glimpse of the color of the Suns jersey behind him, and he immediately distanced himself from Steve Nash.

To retreat is called decisiveness.

This guy's basketball IQ is really... high!
Gentry looked at Rajon Rondo's action and muttered something.

Rajon Rondo is definitely not the kind of guy who is very talented at first glance, otherwise he would not have been selected with the 06st overall pick in 21.

There are only two drafting principles in the draft conference. One is talent and the other is immediate combat power. These two points are rigid standards.

Rajon Rondo did not account for any of these two points back then.

But judging from his current growth, he is destined to become the kind of player who "gets older and more demonic".

His brains are rare among point guards.

That's why Gentry would think this guy has the potential to curb Steve Nash's play.

but……

Luckily I have the sun!

Lin Ri's running position saved Steve Nash a lot of effort to get rid of Rajon Rondo.

It also made Gentry more satisfied with Lin Ri.

Even if this guy is not the main attacker, he is definitely an existence that cannot be ignored on the field.

Hey, if you want to put it this way, the sun's basketball IQ is quite high!
If he didn't have such a basketball IQ, how could he run like that just now?

I seem to have discovered Huadian!

"Shh!"

Steve Nash was able to command the offense as usual, and the Suns also scored the first attack of the opening.

Richardson successfully hit a mid-range shot.

"Defend, defend, defend quickly!"

If you have an advantage, you must consolidate it.

Gentry immediately yelled towards the court, causing the Suns to quickly return to defense.

However, the Celtics are not advancing fast.

A group of people slowly arrived at the front court.

It seems that he is not in a hurry at all, looking at his appearance, he has a faint taste of the Spurs, the feeling of an old man shopping.

Rajon Rondo, who is the master, is even slower than them.

He was the last to go upfield.

But after the front court.His passing is quick.After a brief observation, he gave the ball to Paul Pierce who came from outside the three-point line.

Carmelo Anthony is called an "offensive kaleidoscope" by many experts.

But before he earned that title, there was only one offensive kaleidoscope in the league, and that was Paul Pierce.

All kinds of personal offensive skills are very skilled.

In many cases, the Celtics rely on his singles to open up the situation.

In this game, the Celtics did not seem to change their style of play against the Suns.

Still intends to open the situation with Paul Pierce's singles.

Paul Pierce faced Ariza with the ball, and his expression was very relaxed. Ariza is considered a good wing defensive player in the league, but his defensive performance against Paul Pierce has not been very good.

At this moment, his expression is also very dignified.

But unfortunately, his solemnity did not allow him to cause more interference when facing Paul Pierce.

Pierce approached Ariza with a back-to-back movement, pushed against him to the inside, then suddenly unloaded, turned forward and pretended to break through to force Ariza back directly, and made a slow-moving fadeaway jumper, easily sending the ball into the basket.

Paul Pierce's shooting finger pointed to the floor and stepped back.

This is my home.

No one can guard me in my home court!

Trevor has also become a defensive hole.

Fortunately!
Fortunately, the sun focused on the defensive end in this game.

Otherwise, tonight's game would be a complete waste of defense.

Gentry watched Pierce hit the shot so easily, and he was immediately glad that he arranged the sun on the defensive end before the game.

Another guy with top shooting skills...

Such a guy must not let him continue to shoot.

"Let him break through!"

After seeing Pierce's shot, Lin Ri communicated directly with Ariza and defended this guy in the same way he defended Kevin Durant!
Don't give him space to shoot, just force him to break through!

Ariza nodded.

Everyone has their nemesis.

For Ariza, his nemesis is the "veteran oilman" with tonnage and technology like Pierce.

As for Pierce's nemesis, who is it!

It needs to be a defensive engineer like Artest, who is not bad at defending in tonnage and strength, to carry out passionate hand-to-hand combat to limit it.

The Suns' second attack also continued to hit.

After the goal was scored, the head coach of the Celtics, Rivers, had some changes in his expression, and his brows frowned slightly.

The Suns scored two goals in a row, which made him not very satisfied with the Celtics' defense in the first two rounds.

He knows very well that once the Suns play their offensive, it is really a terrible thing.

So from the beginning before the game, Rivers formulated a tactic to suppress the Suns' offensive firepower from the beginning of the game, and keeping their offensive rhythm at a standstill is what he most wants to see.

But the current situation is that the Suns have scored two offenses in a row.

Rajon Rondo's defensive ability, he believes very much.

He will not doubt this guy's defensive strength.

It seems that the newcomer's support helped Steve Nash relieve a lot of pressure!
Lin Ri moved to the high position again in this round.

This scene was also seen by Rivers.

Gotta put that guy under some pressure!
Rivers gestured toward the court.

The expressions of all the Celtics who saw the gesture changed slightly, and then the running position changed rapidly.

Among them, Kevin Garnett's face changed most obviously. He had been staring at Lin Ri just now, and now his eyes flickered.

Because Rivers' gesture means that the Celtics will play a No. [-] tactic.

As for the Celtics' No. [-] tactic... nothing else, it was Kevin Garnett who came to singles.

I play nm singles!
How can I single this guy?
I'm already 33 years old, let me single out a 19-year-old strong young man... Is this an idea anyone can come up with?
and……

Why?

Didn't Paul score the goal just now?

Shouldn't he continue to play singles now?
Why did it suddenly become me who came out to play singles!
Do you understand the game?
Kevin Garnett wanted to ask Rivers a question.

However, before he had any more thoughts, the rest of the Celtics had already established their positions and opened up the space for him.Rajon Rondo also passed the ball to him at this time.

When did you become so effective?

Kevin Garnett looked at the ball in his hands and fell into thought again.

But he still couldn't think too much, there was already a huge resistance coming from behind him at this moment.

Lin Ri has already started to exert his strength.

This moment made Kevin Garnett angry.

This is what you forced me to do!
"Come on, come on, work hard! Let me see how powerful this year's No. [-] pick is! Work hard, work hard! Come on!" Kevin Garnett began to single Lin Ri while cursing and swearing.

It's just that although he was swearing, and his body was exerting strength, after two or three back blows like this, he was getting closer and closer to the three-point line.

But even so, he kept shouting: "Keep working hard, kid, this is just the beginning!"

amount……

"Do you play with your mouth alone?"

When Lin Ri saw that Kevin Garnett was about to step on the three-point line, a very lethal trash talk popped out of his mouth.

Well, it's not trash talking, Lin Ri really thinks so.

Because he didn't feel how fierce the confrontation between Kevin Garnett and him was.

"Boy, you succeeded in angering me!"

When Kevin Garnett heard this, he immediately became violent.

Just when Lin Ri thought this guy was finally going to exert his strength, Kevin Garnett suddenly turned into a face-to-face posture and threw the ball in a slightly inclined posture.

"Shh!"

The ball was a solid hit.

"Ho!"

Garnett thumped his chest violently, looking like blood and iron!

There was a huge cheer at the scene!
The chest-beating appearance of "Wolf King" seemed too manly to them!
Rivers also nodded with satisfaction.

After Kevin Garnett came to the Celtics, he can no longer be regarded as the core of the offensive end. More of his tasks are on the defensive end.

However, Lin Ri is so "leisurely" on the court, Rivers wants to add a little tricky things to this guy... such as spending some energy on defending the players who are facing him.

For an all-round and mature player like Lin Ri, Rivers' thinking is different from other head coaches. He will find solutions from aspects other than tactical restrictions, such as restricting Lin Ri from physical fitness!
A player has only so much physical energy, so if he consumes more physical energy on the defensive end, it is naturally impossible for him to concentrate so much in other aspects.

Kevin Garnett's success in this ball singles made Rivers see a picture: in the near future, Lin Ri will have no time to worry about other things because of the confrontation with Kevin Garnett on the defensive end...

Then Steve Nash, who lost the support of his teammates on the offensive end, fell into entanglement with Rajon Rondo, and the Suns' offensive rhythm gradually stagnated.

OK!

Just do it!

This is a perfect plan!

Rivers mentally made a "bingo" gesture.

Witty as I really am, great!
This made him feel calm after watching the Suns score again. He didn't panic at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.

The ball continued to go to Kevin Garnett in the next round.

"Wolf King" no longer had so much reluctance on his face.

Scoring the first offense gave him a certain boost in self-confidence.

The rookie's defense doesn't look good either.

Otherwise, how can you give up such a large shooting space?
Lin Ri: Who knew you called it so fierce, but it turned out to be a shot from the three-point line!
I really have you, wolf treasure!
Kevin Garnett still turned his back and leaned on Lin Ri's singles.

The whole process is no different from just now...

This time, Kevin Garnett played further and further outside.

But just as Kevin Garnett turned around in front of him to shoot, this time Lin Ri blocked him in a timely manner.

Kevin Garnett froze for a moment, instinctively took the ball back, and then realized that his whole body had already jumped up. He had no choice but to maintain the same shooting motion, but the shooting fingers were much faster than usual.

"Snapped!"

It's a pity that Lin Ri's big hand has already been raised, and his eyes are fixed on him, just waiting for Kevin Garnett to make a move.

A crisp sound.

Kevin Garnett watched the ball go toward the back of his head.

There, Steve Nash instantly controlled the ball that flew in front of him, and then without stopping at all, he dribbled towards the Celtics' defense zone.

Rajon Rondo is not slow, just behind him.

There were a few more flashes of light in his eyes.

It's my turn to chase others today!
As the old background board of being chased, Rajon Rondo has been looking forward to today!
"Snapped!"

But Steve Nash rushed to the basket and did not shoot himself, but quickly turned around and passed the ball out again.

Lajian Rondo jumped up awkwardly, and waved his big hand lonely.

Why don't you do it yourself?
Rajon Rondo couldn't figure it out.

This is why you are always being chased.

Steve Nash makes eye contact with Rajon Rondo.

and……

Steve turned his head to look, and Rajon Rondo followed suit, where the number 95 of the Suns had already caught the pass, rushed to the basket, and opened his hand for a slam dunk.

"Bah!"

The sound of dunking was particularly loud in the quiet North Shore Garden scene.

With such a beast why don't I pass?

Steve Nash made a "head tilt" towards Rajon Rondo!
