NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 237 Drawing on Bryant's Discovery (310)

Facing Wallace, although Pierce said very arrogantly, the two had fought so many times, and Pierce was very clear about Wallace's defensive ability.

So in the face of Wallace's defense, Pierce dare not have any contempt.

Compared with previous offensive methods, Pierce did not make unnecessary trial steps.

Because two people know the basics, doing those messy things will not have much effect.

Pierce held the ball and began to play Wallace with his back, intending to use his feet to take advantage of Wallace.

After all, this guy's speed is beyond Pierce's reach.

With his back twice, Pierce didn't take advantage of it.

The whole person turned to the left, and Wallace was close to him, but he didn't take off rashly.

Using his footsteps to feint twice, Pierce finally chose a right turn jumper.

And before the jump shot, he pushed Wallace with his shoulder to try to get more room for his shot.

Faced with Pierce's trick, Wallace has long been engraved in his heart.

As soon as Pierce shouldered himself hard, Wallace knew that Pierce would choose a real jumper next.

Seeing Pierce turn over on the right side of the portrait, Wallace took off with all his strength this time without any reservations.

Although the ball was difficult to be blocked by Wallace due to Pierce's deep back, but with Wallace's excellent judgment.

Successfully interfered with Pierce before he made a shot.

"Oops!"

As soon as the ball was shot, Pierce felt that the ball was going to be bad.

Apparently, he didn't expect that Wallace didn't hesitate for so many fake moves before, but he immediately judged his last backward fall.

Pierce's doubts are also destined to be unanswered, because Wallace will not tell him that Liu Rui has already told Wallace several very useful information before the confrontation with Pierce.

Although in the previous life, Pierce and Anthony were called the offensive kaleidoscope.

But compared to Anthony, Pierce's style is completely different.

If Anthony has many offensive methods, he can complete various levels of shooting and scoring whether it is outside the three-point line or inside the three-point line.

He can even complete the Huashan-style dunks.

That Pierce, the name of the offensive kaleidoscope, is just the opposite.

Although he can also score without dead ends on the court, what really makes him feel difficult to defend is Pierce's excellent footwork.

And very realistic shooting fakes.

This makes it impossible for the defender to judge when Pierce is really shooting and when he is just using fake moves to shake the defender away.

This trick can be said to be the means by which Pierce survived at his peak.

Even through the replay after the game, someone has already analyzed Pierce's main offensive methods.

But when it comes to the game, the defender has no idea what Pierce will choose among these offensive methods.

Until the man passed his own experiments and finally discovered a characteristic of Pierce's offensive end in the 2010 finals.

In the 2010 Finals, the Lakers vs. Celtics played a tiebreaker, which can be said to be the worst tiebreaker in the 21st century.

Because before, the two teams had a confrontation in the 2008 Finals.

In the end, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 4-2, and Pierce also won the Finals Most Valuable Player.

So compared to Ray Allen, the biggest threat to the Celtics on the offensive end at the time came from Paul Pierce.

In the previous few games, Kobe and Ray Allen have always been facing each other, and Pierce has been guarded by Artest.

Until the two teams reached the tiebreaker, in that game, the shooting percentages of both sides were very low, because the super high defensive intensity also made the game extremely fierce.

In this fierce fighting, the role of stars is self-evident.

So Kobe Bryant, who took on the heavy responsibility on the offensive end, volunteered to be on the defensive end, asking to take the initiative to mark the opposing star Pierce.

Because in the first few games of the finals, at every critical moment, Kobe would take the initiative to ask to confront Pierce head-on.

But at this time, the game has reached the tie-break, and the scores of the two teams have been leading alternately, which is very anxious.

Compared with wasting too much energy on the defensive end, Kobe's role on the offensive end is the most important.

Therefore, in the face of Kobe's proposal, Zen Master Jackson firmly opposed it and asked Kobe to focus all his attention on the offensive end.

The heavy responsibility of defending Pierce is naturally shared by Artest.

In the tiebreaker, Artest actually did a good job of dealing with Pierce's restrictions in the first three quarters.

However, Kobe insisted on man-marking Pierce without hesitation, and told Zen Master that he had mastered the key to defending Pierce.

Seeing Kobe's promise, the Zen master had no choice but to agree to Kobe's request, but before playing, he pulled Artest to his side.

Tell Artest to switch on Pierce if Kobe gets into trouble on the court, regardless of Kobe's reaction.

Because of Kobe's spirit on the court, Ray Allen is absolutely not allowed to be in the form of being released.

If Artest resolutely defends Pierce, Kobe can only choose to defend Ray Allen in the end.

Because this is the stage of the finals tie-break, Kobe will not allow the team to make such low-level mistakes.

In the fourth quarter, when the two sides played more and more intensely, it did suddenly become Kobe marking Pierce.

Pierce, who was quite depressed after being defended by Artest in the first three quarters, heaved a sigh of relief at first.

Because compared to Artest's muscular reckless man.

On the defensive end, Kobe relied more on the hard work of the Mamba spirit and his unyielding character.

Seeing that the person defending him became Kobe, Pierce took the initiative to ask for the ball in the middle distance for post-up singles.

But in the first singles, Pierce, as usual, used his footwork for some delusional confusion.

Then use your shoulders to try to push out an opportunity, when you perform a rollover fadeaway jumper.

When Pierce turned over and was about to shoot, he suddenly discovered that Kobe had predicted his release point in advance.

So in the first singles after the switch, Pierce was perfectly defended by Kobe.

Naturally, no one knew what the two people on the field were thinking.

And in Pierce's subsequent singles, without anyone helping to defend, Kobe did prevent Pierce's key shots in a row.

In the end, he helped the Lakers win that game and win the championship that season.

As for those successful defensive goals, it was not until Pierce retired that Kobe said this in an interview...
