King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 132 I Know You, You Don't Know Me
Because the game has been falling behind, He Yixiang played the whole quarter, especially the last 4 minutes, the effect was not good, and the point difference widened even further.After He Yixiang took a break, Udri continued to lead the team, and the opponent also replaced Avery Bradley, a first-year rookie. Rondo and Ray Allen are one of the strongest backcourt combinations in the entire league.Rondo's breakthrough and assists, Ray Allen's three-pointer, and both of them belong to the kind of players above the defensive level.This also makes it difficult for rookies to get a chance to play. In the past, the point guard's substitute was mainly Robinson who had just been traded. Now he can only passively let Bradley play.

Bradley didn't feel stage fright when he came on the court. Facing Udrih's defense, he made a quick breakthrough and passed Udrih's defense, and then scored with a low-handed layup under Yi Jianlian's supplementary defense. This goal proved to Rivers, the head coach of the Celtics who doesn't like to use rookies, that in this draft, not all outstanding players are in other teams. I am also the No. 19 rookie in the first round.Westphal's idea of ​​using the Celtics' disadvantaged guards to recover the score fell through. Bradley may be playing his best game since entering the NBA. Derry did not lose the wind in the confrontation. Before today, he was just a player who averaged 1.5 points per game in garbage time.

Westphal had no choice but to let He Yixiang continue to play. When he was high-fiving He Yixiang, Udry said to He Yixiang a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, He, I didn't let you get a full rest."

"No, you've done a good job, at least we haven't been pulled apart." He Yixiang stepped onto the field again after high-fiving, come on, last year's Eastern Conference champion, even last year's championship Lakers I don't Cowardly, don't even think about defeating us easily.

He Yixiang did not organize the offense as he did at the beginning, but began to break through with the ball. He just understood this truth. Except for Krstic, the other four players in the Celtics team are all players with high tactical literacy. , When it's time to switch defenses, switch defenses, and squeeze pick-and-rolls when it's time to squeeze the pick-and-roll. It is indeed a defensive team that can be compared with the Pistons back then.

So now He Yixiang's goal is to open a gap. Although Rondo is only 185cm tall, he has a pair of long arms that are no less than He Yixiang. With this pair of long arms, Rondo won the steals king last season. For such a player, even if it is a player like He Yixiang who has been making three-pointers all the year round, it is not a wise choice to directly make a three-pointer.He Yixiang made a quick breakthrough and suddenly stopped for a jumper. This shot was difficult to defend, but at the same time it was very difficult.When the basketball got into the net, the King's bench also erupted with cheers. Such a difficult ball really boosted the morale of the Kings.

"It's a good shot, but you won't have such an opportunity again." Rondo looked at He Yixiang expressionlessly, and there might be a huge anger hidden under the expressionless anger.As a point guard who won the championship in the second year of his rookie, and the point guard who commanded the Big Three to win the championship, he has his own pride. Even if the Big Three made mistakes on the court, he still yelled.

When it was the Celtics' turn to attack, the media once gave He Yixiang a definition after the All-Star Game. Today's top three point guards in the NBA, this definition can be said to be a headache for many people.Nash, who led the Suns to the Western Conference finals last year, must be counted in the row. Although Paul has declined this year, his 20+10 for several consecutive seasons is also unforgettable.Rondo, many media seem to be obsessed with his explosive performance in the playoffs last year. He averaged 16.9 points, 9.7 assists and 9.7 rebounds per game. At most, he was just a lucky guy who hugged the thigh of the Big Three.

Rondo's shooting skills are poor, but relative, being able to send so many assists can also reflect how good this guy's breakthrough is. The pair of long arms and Jordan's big hands make the basketball run freely in his hands.After several consecutive changes of direction, he suddenly accelerated to the left, and He Yixiang felt that he was attached to it, and he was also surprised. Fortunately, the defense has improved recently, otherwise he would have been thrown away directly.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Rondo's right hand holding the ball slightly backwards. This was to pass the ball behind his back. Just when He Yixiang was about to stop the pass, he suddenly thought of Rondo's breakthrough method. Doing the trick, the body tilted slightly to that side.Sure enough, Rondo's face, which was written with the word "unhappy" all the time, showed a kind of smile that you got caught.The right hand shrinks to this side, this is a fake pass and a real layup.But the moment the basketball was shot, He Yixiang's body had already come over, and he slapped the ball on the backboard with a slap.

Rondo was surprised for a while, shouldn't this guy be tricked by himself?Why don't you come up again.At this time, He Yixiang has passed the pressed pass directly to Iguodala, who is fast and fast, with a football quarterback-style long pass. Iguodala received the pass and easily completed a dunk.

"Why? Shouldn't you be defending?" This is the first time Rondo's ball has been defended.

"You are very good, the champion point guard in 08, the quasi-triple-double in the playoffs last year, suppressed me so badly in the first game, so I will study your video very seriously. Not much. Of course, you may not have studied me enough, because I have used this trick at least three times this season after I learned it from you. Simply put, I know you, but you don’t know me.” He Yixiang smiled slightly and told He gave Rondo an answer that made him a little happy and a little scared.

The joy is that at least this guy feels that he is still a very good point guard and knows himself very well, but the fear is that this guy seems to know a little about himself, but since he won the opponent last time, he still has an assist to the guy in front of him. Having only studied the videos of the last few matches, this matchup is far more ominous.

Next, He Yixiang began to use his personal ability to open up more space. When He Yixiang was able to break through successfully, the King's entire team began to play more smoothly, and the defense of others made the King's chances repeated came out, and Rondo seemed to be bluffed by what He Yixiang said just now. He began to be afraid of breakthroughs. In this year, the core of the Celtics has already become him. When he was in a downturn, The Celtics will inevitably be chased back to the score. Even if the voice of the North Shore Garden Arena rings again, it will not be able to prevent the Kings from approaching the score. At the end of halftime, the Kings are only two points behind at 54:56.
