The Fifth Point Guard

Victory Cigars is by no means a false name!

Brian Scalabrine became the surprise player for the Nets in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Under his fierce defense against Fat Toutuo, Antoine Walker, who was still shooting at the Pistons against the Iron Bucks in the last round, became the king of shooting in this game, completely different from the previous round. A round of efficient offensive performance.

Although Brian's scoring was not good, he only scored 4 points in total, but the role of his playing was not for scoring.

He defended Walker's outside shot and blocked the Celtics' corner while releasing Kenyon Martin.

Although Walker still scored 20 points, it was in exchange for more than 20 shots.

In terms of this matchup alone, the Celtics may make a small profit, but the Nets will never lose.

The Nets won their first game at home.

105-90, bloodlessly wiped out the Celtics' neck, although Walker barely had one.

Kidd still efficiently contributed a quasi-triple-double of 18 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists. Shen Tong, as the vanguard, scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

Martin and Jefferson, who are known as the second generals of the air tools, also performed well.

Tony Batty is no match for Martin.

Martin scored a double-double of 16 points and 14 rebounds, while Jefferson contributed 17 points.

Compared with the relatively concentrated scoring points of the Celtics, the Nets are more blooming. In addition to the excellent performance of the above-mentioned players, Kiedels also contributed 10 points, and Van Horn scored 8 points and 6 rebounds.

This season, Pierce, who was reborn from the ashes, continued to play steadily. After Walker suddenly turned off the fire, he shouldered the banner of the team alone and scored 30 points alone. In addition, he also had 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

But two fists are no match for several hands, and the one-legged green army can only accept the defeat of the first battle.

In the second battle, the Green Army changed its tactics.

Started Eric Strickland, who was better defensively and stronger, in place of Eric Williams.

Then, the Green Army used Kenny Anderson and Strickland's lineup of double point guards to control the field, trying to control the rhythm on their own side. At the same time, they used two people to double-team Kidd on the defensive end, trying Nip the Nets' offense in the bud.

This sudden change had an obvious effect in the opening.

The Nets made a lot of mistakes in the opening game, and Kidd's every possession and pass was strictly blocked by the Celtics.

In the middle of the first quarter, Kidd started to advance from the backcourt, and Anderson led the defense, not giving Kidd a chance to launch a quick attack.

When Kidd's foot just crossed the center line, Strickland ran over and formed a double-team with Anderson. Kidd could only quickly pass the ball laterally to Shentong on the other side.

The ground pass was still on the route and was intercepted by Paul Pierce.

After the steal, Pierce launched a fast break.

When they got to the basket, Shen Tong and Jefferson, who were chasing after him, both flew up. Who would have thought that Pierce's feet seemed to be stuck to the floor, and he completed the action of single-handed picking without taking off.

This made Shen Tong and Jefferson, who were flying high in the sky, look at each other.

This offense was scored by a fast break after the Celtics steal the ball, which is just a microcosm of the first quarter.

With Kidd being treated closely, the weaknesses of the Nets' young players' inexperience and lack of control over the rhythm of the court began to be exposed.

After the Green Army discovered that this tactic was effective, adhering to the policy of killing you while you are sick, they chased these young people from the Nets and beat them to death.

After the first quarter, the Nets were beaten 17-31 by the Celtics.

A big hole was buried at the beginning.

During the intermission, Nets coach Scott stood in front of the players holding a tactical whiteboard.

The players gathered in a circle, watching Scott kept drawing on the whiteboard, talking constantly, while their eyes scanned the faces of the boys back and forth.

Seeing this picture, I believe Scott and his coaching team have worked out countermeasures.

In the second quarter, when the Nets were attacking, the Celtics found out that.

The Nets are Shentong in possession of the ball!

Although the dribbling is not as masterful as Kidd's, and the passing is not as brilliant as Kidd's, but the very stable organization has almost no mistakes, and Shentong is also a player who can directly attack the ball by himself, which made the Nets leaderless in the first quarter. The team regrouped.

even.

Shen Tong held the ball from the outside, facing Strickland's defense, stepped off the cross dribble and directly broke through the opponent.

Facing the path of Pierce, Walker and Batty, the rushing Shentong had a killer indifference in his eyes, without the slightest hesitation or retreat, he threw the ball to the backboard!

Pierce's script is connected to the floor, and Walker's defense is limited to his eyes. Batty wanted to step forward to block it, but was blocked by the very discerning Martin.

The ball bounced off the backboard, Shen Tong ran up, took off, caught the ball in the air with both hands, and with the inertia of gliding, he slammed the ball sideways and dunked it into the basket!

This self-throwing goal immediately awakened the sleeping fans, and the Continental Airlines Arena rekindled the flame of contempt for everything.

Only a young man like Shentong can dare to use this method to score offensively in such a suffocating atmosphere!

Seeing the wonderful performance of his proud disciple, Scott couldn't help admiring his heroic and decisive determination and insightful vision.

Seeing the stunned eyes of his opponent, Scott was expressionless, but his heart was already full of joy.

Scott: Haha, I didn't expect that, I have two players who can affect the game!

Although he has never played the role of a team organization, he has experienced the personal teaching of Arenas and assiduously studied the Basic Dribbling Chapter obtained in the basket god space, coupled with Shentong's excellent mind and tactical quality, he made a guest appearance The team's point guard is more than enough.

After the second quarter, the two teams tied 48-48.

The Nets filled the hole in the first quarter before halftime, with amazing responsiveness and pressure resistance.

During the interval of the game, Jefferson and Martin chatted a few words when someone made a free throw.

Kenyon, tell me, we usually train together, why is Shen's dribbling so powerful?

Well, they must have practiced dribbling more than us.

Jefferson, who was in a good mood, suddenly joked and said, No wonder, even if he practices more, he can't dribble more than me. I have been practicing dribbling since I was 17 years old.

Martin gave Jefferson a sideways look, and said with a sinister smile, What do you know, he may have been dribbling since he was 10 years old.

Jefferson was stunned: 10 years old, what do you mean?

Martin whispered: Idiot, a small ball is also a ball! You change different balls back and forth, but people stick to one kind of ball, and the effect is of course different.

After taking a closer look, Jefferson nodded thoughtfully.

Not far away, Shentong sneezed loudly.
