The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 194, The Passion of the Dunk King.

The current Celtics are almost perfect except for a large number of outside passes that lead to more turnovers and a strong side squeeze defense that leads to slightly poor rebounds in the backcourt.

Squeeze the defense from the outside, make mistakes, control the opponent's shooting rate, counterattack push, opportunity war, half-court offense and defense.

One-on-one (Pierce), off-ball offense (Ray), high support and center singles (KG), blue-collar (Perkins and Wallace), substitute 3D group.

Such a Celtics can already be tied with the Spurs in 1999 and the Pistons in 2004 as the top three defensive teams after Jordan retired.

Pritchard will give more power to tactics. After all, the brains in his team are very easy to use, and even the assistant coaches only play a supplementary role in tactics.

At this time, the three brains are coming together to formulate a rough play for the second quarter.

Faced with such a team of Celtics, Miller, Roy, and Xue Ding all felt a headache.

"Xue, what do you think is their weakness?" Roy asked.

Xue Ding thought for a while and replied: "They don't have enough rebound protection in the backcourt, and they rely more on mid-range shots, so they will foul more."

"Also they don't penetrate the penalty area enough and rely on offensive rebounds."

"OK! Then our next focus is to protect the rebounds and limit their perimeter."

"Row!"

The general policy of defense has been determined.

Then Xue Ding discussed the offensive tactics with Miller and others, and decided to sink down to fight with the Celtics. They were all wary of the Blazers' breakthrough, and they had to grind round by round.

…………

Everyone did a lot of research on this Celtic team before the game.

This Celtics is enough to attract the attention of any team in the league. Of course, they have experienced too many hard battles in the past two years, and their opponents can beat them. It also provides a lot of cases!

In the 08 playoffs, the Celtics played seven games against the Hawks, seven games against the Cavaliers, and six games against the Pistons.

During the Celtics' championship journey that year, the penalty area was actually blue-collarized, relying on high-quality mid-range and long-range offense and defense-the defensive end pressure on the ball and the strong side squeeze, the offensive end high support, without the ball. One-on-one and mid-to-long distance.

Against a steel team like the Pistons, they will look like a jump-shooting team that is good at perimeter defense.

Fortunately, their will is tough enough and their chemistry is good enough.

This may be the only thing Jordan has seen since he retired.

There is no shame in the shortcomings they expose.

After all, their three generals are all old and can't rely on their muscles and bones.

Their chemical reaction is still second to none in the past and present. You know, the three superstars of Chamberlain, Baylor, and West will be together, and the three superstars of Big Dream, Barkley, and Glider will be together, including the three in Miami. Win the championship, but the Celtics did it.

Xue Ding respects their strength, but disdains their character!

Because playing with them is so annoying, they make small moves and talk trash every time!

The second quarter restarted.

Miller advances the ball.

After reaching beyond the three-point line, he hung the ball to Roy.

Roy and Adelaide are both very important if you play a positional offense against the Celtics.

But Ade is facing KG, which is not easy to fight, so he can only give Roy first.

Roy's state has been relatively ups and downs since his injury, but the ball has stabilized a lot in the last few games before the All-Star Game.

According to the tactics of several players, Pritchard asked Miller to give the ball to Roy as soon as he came up, hoping that Roy would find the touch first, and then take this opportunity to open the gap.

Facing Ray Allen, Roy chose to push forward directly.

Ray Allen has always been the kind of very smart player. He has a deep impression on the offensive end. He plays very smart and reasonable. He has unique muscles and bones. He is good at shooting and breaking through. Offense, no matter shooting, breakthrough, or even organization is also good.

The same is true of him on the defensive end. He is very smart, good judgment, quick hands, diligent legs, height does not dominate, and he is not a fierce and aggressive defensive player. He is a player who defends by blocking positions and blocking routes.

Generally speaking, Ray Allen's defensive ability is not as good as top defenders such as Kobe, Wade, and Iguodala. Accurate judgment, calm and not lazy performance, it can still be said that his defensive ability is still good.

And defensive characteristics In the Celtics' defensive system, he is an excellent defender.

Ray Allen's defense is good, but Roy is a man nicknamed "Mamba" after all, and he has too many offensive options.

After Roy's continuous feints, he quickly found room to shoot.

Turn over the middle distance!
"Shh!"

28:22.

"Nice job, Brandon."

Xue Ding walked over to give Roy a high five. After the All-Star Game, Xue Ding knew that he was very lucky to have all-star teammates by his side.

"Thank you!" Roy was still humble and polite.

Xue Ding has always felt that he is also very lucky to have such a boss who tolerates his personality and allows him to grow smoothly! !
Roy's easy success made Ray Allen helpless.

"This is Brandon Roy. From this offense, we can see that he has recovered. This is good news for the Blazers." Barkley said with a smile.

It's always nice to see an All-Star player back healthy.

"Xue's existence guaranteed the Trail Blazers' lower limit in the playoffs, and Roy's existence gave the Blazers the upper limit of competing for the championship." Smith said.

"Well, before I know it, the Blazers' perimeter strength is already at the top level in the league."

"Yeah, Xue Ge Roy's twin stars are enough to cause headaches for other teams in the league's perimeter defense."

"In addition to the outside line, look at their inside line. Chandler is good at defending and Aldridge is good at attacking. This is also the league's first-class inside combination!"

"The Frenchman Batum is also coming back soon."

"Scary terrible!"

The two hosts have seen how strong a healthy Blazers lineup can be.

…………

For the Celtics to attack!
Rondo dribbled the ball across half court and Miller marked it.

When Miller and Xue Ding are present at the same time, Xue Ding will go to position 3.

Roy moved to the 2nd position.

After all, Xue Ding is also a man who once played a center forward, so the No. 3 position is no problem.

After scoring 50+20 last time, Adelaide and Chandler looked at Xue Ding with admiration!

This man who really played from position one to position five is his teammate.

Adelaide and Chandler often asked them to play inside offensive and defensive singles with Xue Ding during training.

But how dare Xue Ding go, he refuses every time!
Today, Xue Ding's main defense is Paul Pierce, the three-point leader in this year's All-Star Game.

Rondo passes the ball to Pierce in the low post.

Peak Pierce's low-post offensive ability is no worse than Kobe.

However, what Xue Ding is least afraid of is low post singles.

Xue Ding straightened out his chest and pressed against it.

"The Combatant!!"

Xue Ding kept motivating his skills!
Pierce is too old, and Xue Ding gave him a fighter in the first quarter, and now he tends to be tired.

This time, Xue Ding strode forward, hit continuously, and suddenly made a gambling steal, leaping over.

"Snapped!"

Steal the ball successfully.

Pierce's reaction was still slow.

Xue Ding and Roy launched a two-line fast break!
Between three passes and two leads, Xue Ding broke through Lei Allen's defense!

At this point the Celtics defenders have completely lost their position!
Xue Ding dribbled the ball into the Celtic penalty area.

Take off directly!

The fans at the scene screamed in unison. Their new dunk king's dunk is worth looking forward to, and everyone knows his next move.

Before the three-second zone.

Xue Ding grabbed the ball with one hand, his head was almost flat, bent like a bow, and smashed the buckle vigorously!
This simple tomahawk is enough to make the Rose Garden cheer! !

"frame."

28:24.

"what."

Xue Ding kept roaring towards the camera, and took his overbearing steps.

Xue Ding kept beating his chest, and the morale of all the Blazers was greatly boosted.
