King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 131
This is the second time the king has met the Celtics this season. The first time the king met the Celtics, the king suffered a bloody massacre. He Yixiang faced the iron blood of Rondo and Ray Allen in the whole scene The defense is normal and the sideline is average. He scored 15 points and 6 assists on 17 of 7 shots. Compared with the average level of the season, his opponent Rondo did not score many points, but he got 14 assists and controlled the entire game. rhythm.

Of course, He Yixiang has been evolving this season, especially during the 12-game winning streak in January. He Yixiang should have surpassed Rondo and ranked second with his continuous high assists, but he wants to really beat Rondo , must defeat him in this kind of head-on competition.This time when they came to the North Shore Garden, the goal of He Yixiang and the king was to regain the previous failure here.

North Shore Garden Arena, which is as prestigious as Madison Garden Center and Staples Center.In this place, there are more championship banners than the Lakers, more retired jerseys than the Lakers, plus one of the craziest home crowds in the entire NBA.This team of kings, who are playing consecutive away games, is at the right time at this time, and the location is at a disadvantage, and they are suffering from both physical and mental torture.Many rookies came to this great arena for the first time, and even felt a pilgrimage in their hearts when they saw the 17 championship banners.However, although the weather and geographical advantages are not dominant, the people and the king still have the advantage.

Although there were many transactions at the beginning of the season, after more than half a season, this Kings team already has its own style of play and a clear core, and the Celtics have just made a major move after the All-Star Game. In the trade, the Celtics traded center Kedric Perkins and point guard Nate Robinson for Thunder forward Jeff Green and inside swingman Snyder Krstic.Their lineup is in a state of just running in, and the King's game is also promising.

The Celtics lined up point guard Rondo, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Pierce, power forward Garnett, and center Kostic. This lineup is obviously reserved for O'Neal who was injured at the beginning of the season. At the beginning of the season, O'Neal got along well with this lineup, and it would be a bit wasteful to use Perkins, a solid tank, as a substitute.Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very good choice to exchange Perkins for a qualified backup center and a potential rookie with good immediate combat power.

The Kings continued the previous lineup, and did not change their style of play because of the height of the opposing inside line. They continued to let Landry start. The purpose is also obvious, which is to use Landry's impact to infinitely impact the old guy Garnett. , Unlimited to consume the strength of the opposing defensive core.Since Garnett's serious injury in 09, his athletic ability has also declined day by day.

At the beginning of the game, the Kings also had more Landry to break through Garnett, but they obviously underestimated the strength of the best defensive player in the 07-08 season, even though his defensive ability is Assisting in defending various positions, even though he suffered serious injuries in 09, his defensive ability should not be underestimated.In the first round, after Landry went inside, he was sent to the big cap, and in the second round, he fought hard under the interference of Garnett.

The king is playing an iron game here, and the Green Army has no obligation to accompany him to play this game.With the help of Garnett's off-ball pick-and-roll, Ray Allen ran in a large circle from the left to a 45-degree angle on the right. When the ball arrived, Rondo accurately found Ray Allen's position, and the ball accurately Flying into his hands, raising his hand was a quick three-pointer. Casspi, who was originally slower than Ray Allen, was a little behind after being picked and rolled. point.

Ray Allen went crazy.Pierce is also not to be outdone. This offensive kaleidoscope showed his flexible and magical footsteps on the offensive end. He broke through to the middle distance against Iguodala's defense at a slow speed, and raised his hand to shoot.This is a fake move. If it is a rookie like He Yixiang, he may be tricked into flying under this fake move, but for Iguodala, who has been fighting with Pierce for many years when he was in the Eastern 76ers. , has long been used to this old opponent's tricks, stretching his hands straight to interfere with shooting.

Of course, as an old opponent, Pierce naturally didn't expect to shake Iguodala away with just such a feint. In an instant, he turned around with his left foot as the pivot and followed Iguodala In an instant, he turned back and made a turnaround jumper, and the basketball hit the net. The 5:0 start is naturally not a big lead, but the fans at the North Shore Garden venue made people feel that they have already led by more than ten points.

However, the Celtics now have obvious weaknesses. Garnett is not a strong inside player. The top defense level does not mean that he can withstand strong players inside. They lost Perkins Krstic must be used as their starting center until O'Neal returns.However, the game before the All-Star has proved that Krstic cannot guard against Cousins.

Cousins ​​asked for the ball on the left side of the penalty area. After a little effort, he suddenly turned his back to the right, slid directly to the bottom line and successfully reversed from the right side.Kostic's slow turning frequency can't help Cousins ​​at all.If the other players don't help in the defense, then Krstic will definitely be eaten alive by Cousins ​​in the interior, but the defense of other players will definitely create a certain amount of space.If there is a strong point, there will be tactics. The Kings also rely on Cousins' singles and points to not fall too far behind at the beginning. Of course, the style of play that has been using Cousins ​​as the fulcrum also greatly consumes his physical strength. After replacing Whiteside in 8 minutes, the Celtics took the opportunity to play a wave of 4:13 in 4 minutes.

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics had already led by as much as 32 points at 20:12 at home. He Yixiang was helplessly disturbed by the long arms of Rondo and Ray Allen. The opponent's defensive rotation changed positions Soon, the pick-and-roll effect was not good. He Yixiang scored 5 points and 2 assists on 5 of 3 shots in the first quarter, and also made [-] turnovers. This should be He Yixiang's most turnovers in the first quarter of this season.This is also the main reason why the Kings trailed by double digits in the first quarter.He Yixiang was really depressed in this quarter. Almost everyone's defense on the opponent was above the standard, and everyone's long arms made him feel very stable. The pass is always intercepted.
