The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 197, Xue Ding's guards with swords

As Xue Ding wanted, the referee whistled a T for his wanton destruction of the basket!

"Xue, you better not do this." The referee said to Xue Ding after making a technical foul on Xue Ding.

"OK!"

Xue Ding didn't have many doubts about the penalty, he just accepted the penalty with a smile.

But the fans at the scene didn't do it.

There were boos everywhere.

They all looked up over and over again to see Xue Ding's slam dunk champion level.

Recently, Xue Ding has been a nightmare for referees and equipment maintenance personnel.

The equipment maintenance personnel of the arena are now afraid when they see Xue Ding dunking. For this reason, the basket of the Rose Garden arena has been reinforced again. It is not so easy for Xue Ding to dunk the basketball hoop.

The current Garnett and Perkins of the Celtics are actually unable to jump up, and it is not the first time that the opponent's outside player has broken through to the inside and succeeded in a dunk.

But what makes Rivers feel more depressed is that Ray Allen did not block Xue Ding's rush.

It was also because Ray Allen didn't have the habit of getting stuck in his matchup that Xue Ding had the opportunity to attack the basket!A large part of the Celtics' rebounding problems comes from guards and forwards. Protecting rebounds is not just a matter of insiders.

"pause"

Rivers couldn't bear it like Popovich, and called out the game for the second time in a row.

At this time, the atmosphere on the scene has been warmed up by Xue Ding's continuous dunks.

"Good job, Xue. You stunned the opponent. If Rivers hasn't lost control of the team, he should replace Ray Allen next. In fact, without him, the Celtics The defense will be even worse. Although we are leading now, we still have to be careful! The opponent is a strong team at the championship level."

Pritchard didn't change any tactics. It's good to play in this situation. It should be the Celtics' tactics that have changed.

As Pritchard expected, after the timeout ended, Ray Allen was already sitting on the bench under a towel.

Rivers replaced Ray Allen with Tony Allen.

Pierce made a free throw for a technical foul.

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

Rondo dribbles forward.

Fans in the stands at the Rose Garden chanted the word "defense".

At this time, it is not Miller who is facing Rondo, but Xue Ding.

Rondo's organizational skills are extremely strong, and he is one of the few characters who is often called a "guidance" during his player days.

But he also has a fatal flaw, that is, he has no shooting ability.

Xue Ding defended Rondo and only directly put one step in defense.

Looking at Xue Ding's position, Rondo knew that he was familiar with his attack mode, and he didn't even bother to do fake moves. After he came to Xue Ding, he passed the ball, and then started to run inside.

Xue Ding could clearly feel that Rondo played very smartly.

Although Rondo has no shooting ability, Xue Ding is now facing greater defensive pressure than before.

Allen only needs to guard against his shots, not Rondo, who needs to guard against his passes.

Rondo suddenly stopped and turned around, and immediately made a feint and then continued to cut in under cover after running out.

Xue Ding reacted quickly and followed immediately.

But as soon as Xue Ding turned around, he was blocked by Garnett.

At the same time, Rondo received a point from Pierce, and they have already had an extremely tacit understanding of this tactic.

"A nice off-ball screen, Rondo cuts inside!"

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Rondo made a move.

Due to the sudden back run and Garnett's cover, Xue Ding failed to catch up in time for the second time, and Rondo directly threw the shot.

"Swish"

The throwing directed by Lang is still very solid.

The basketball hits the net.

The Celtics broke their scoring drought.

Seeing the goal, Rivers sat down on the sidelines again.

Let Rondo do the rest.

"The Celtics should play like this. In fact, Rondo is the brain of the Celtics!"

With the aging of the Big Three, Rondo has become more and more recognized, and he is also considered to be the fourth giant of the Celtics.

Rondo was also very excited after scoring a goal. This was a goal he completely avoided Xue Ding's defense.

Trail Blazers attack.

After Miller left the field, Xue Ding was the only brain on the Blazers' mind.

It was Rondo who defended Xue Ding.

Rondo's defensive determination was great, and he kept waving his arms trying to break Xue Ding's dribble. .

If it weren't for Xue Ding's excellent wingspan and good ball handling ability, Xue Ding might have been intercepted by him.

The defensive pressure of the long arm stretch is indeed great.

Rondo's entanglement left Xue Ding with little room for action.

Rondo has never lost his position.

The current Rondo is somewhat similar to Xue Ding's defense, with excellent wingspan and extremely fast footsteps. Xue Ding finally understands how other point guards feel when facing him.

Although Rondo's defense is very good, his body is not as strong as Xue Ding's, and his defense is not so strong that Xue Ding can't even pass the ball.

Seeing that Chandler stood in the cover position, he used the cover to break through.

After taking a sudden step, Xue Ding made another breakthrough feint, pushed hard with his wrist, and smashed the ball to the ground.

After the basketball hit the wooden floor, it rebounded into Chandler's hands after the screen was over. This ground hit pass was just right, allowing Chandler to receive the basketball comfortably without bending over.

As expected by the outside world, the Celtics have similar defects. They are old, their feet are not active, and if their positions are not good, it is almost difficult to limit this kind of pick-and-roll.

Chandler jumped up with both hands, and after he pushed Garnett away, he made an angry dunk!

Let Chandler come to the three-second zone, the Celtics have nothing to do, and Perkins next to him can only catch up.

"Xue Ding is now playing more and more like a leader. With this passing technique, who will say that he is independent in the future."

"Chandler is Xue Ding's good partner. He can eat cakes and get assists, and he can also block for rebounds."

"Xue Ding has three good friends, Oden, Purbizla, and Chandler. I have to say that Xue Ding has a good personality, and these three are willing to give up their data for him."

"Hey, Big Brush Xue!!!"

The students in front of the TV kept discussing Xue Ding's guards with swords.

Rondo also looked at Xue Ding's pass helplessly. Now the Celtics are in a mediocre state away from home, and their enthusiasm is not good.

A beautiful assist by Xue Ding allowed the Trail Blazers to maintain the point difference.

In the next round, Rondo's breakthrough shot helped the new three-pointer king find an open three-pointer in the bottom corner.

Rondo's breakthrough is also very powerful, attracting Xue Ding and Chandler to return to the basket to shrink, but Rondo is different from other point guards. His vision is very terrifying. He can easily find the gaps of his teammates and Get the basketball to your teammate in time
Pierce, the new three-point leader, made a shot immediately after receiving Rondo's pass. Pierce made nearly 4% of his three-pointers this season.

He naturally grasped this opportunity easily.
