The Way of the Center

Chapter 465: : The last dignity

"The Blazers' talent in athletic ability is something the Celtics can't admire. But athletic ability is not all of basketball. If the Celtics' subsequent tactics can be successfully implemented, I think this game The suspense will be saved till the end."

   Soon, people were withdrawn from Lillard's amazing performance. The game is not over yet, and the Trail Blazers only lead by three points. If it wasn't for the tactics to hit Garnett, it was suddenly interrupted, and now the lead may be the Celtics.

  Spike Lee was so enjoyable that he left the documentary thing behind. Those **** shots and editing will come back and think about it later. Now, let this director who is obsessed with basketball enjoy this wonderful battle.

   "I just took a nap boy, don't be proud." Seeing Anjie finally responded to him, Garnett's chatterbox couldn't be shut down even more. God knows if this man will be more talkative than a woman when he gets old...

   In the second attempt of the Celtics, Garnett didn't take the risk of mentioning the high post, but backed the basket deep in the low post for the ball.

   Many of Garnett's points in the first half were obtained by fighting Anjie in the low post. In the second half, Garnett decided to repeat the same trick.

   Just when Terry was about to drop the ball inside, Anjie suddenly went forward and sealed Garnett's whole person! Now let alone catch the ball, Terry can't even see where Garnett is! Anjie's coverage area is really too large, and Garnett seems to be blocked by a large wall, and there is no opportunity to attack at all.

  Garnett has been in the NBA for so many years, it is not unusual for him to defend around the front. But An Jie's superb pace and great defensive range kept Garnett from getting out of the predicament.

   After Garnett tried several times to run out and catch the ball to no avail, Jason Terry gave the ball to Barbosa, which also represents the Celtics' offensive strategy has changed again.

   ran for a long time and conducted a few times, but the green shirts did not get a good phone meeting. In the end, Pierce forced a shot against Iguodala's defense before the 24 seconds of offensive time was exhausted. Of course, basketball also knocks out of the box without a doubt.

   "The Blazers' defense is very good. They defended it for 24 seconds. But the Celtics' troubles are not over, because they must immediately face the Blazers' counterattack!"

   That's right, Garnett hasn't recovered from the failed offense, Lillard has already overwhelmed halftime. Fast-paced, the "just right" pace of the Trail Blazers will not let them mess up their positions, but can also force the Celtics out of breath.

   Pick-and-rolls, breakthroughs, takeoffs, fake shots and true passes. Lillard and his teammates cooperated very skillfully. I don't know that this number 0 has been playing NBA for several years.

   Lillard’s false shots attracted the Celtics’ defense, and because of this, Aldridge would get an open shot.

   For Aldridge, who relies on shooting to eat, this kind of opportunity is not much different from sending the Blazers two points directly. Aldridge didn't even jump very much. He just made a shot in the face of an empty basket and scored.

   Five points, unknowingly, the Blazers are raising the difference again!

   For the third time, Garnett is already struggling whether to continue the attack. The first two failures forced KG to reassess his situation. Jason Terry is also hesitating, how to initiate tactics? Rondo is not here, all this is really a problem.

   "Three three three, three three!" Rivers' hoarse voice resounded through the audience, and the confused Celtics finally had a goal. Play three, which in the Celtics' tactics represents the team's tactics to play Pierce. Although somewhat unwilling, Garnett knew that he had squandered his opportunities.

   Finally, Anjie finally saw Garnett make a compromise. He mentioned the high post again, but not for the offense with the ball, but for the ball-free pick and roll for his teammates.

   Pierce relied on his excellent feel to score the ball in Iguodala's head. But the Celtics fans did not become optimistic because of this. After all, how many difficult **** can the Celtics score in a game?

   Speed ​​up, speed up resolutely. Ricard knows that Angel and Aldridge are not suitable for fast pace, but more importantly, the Celtics are not suitable!

   In order to win, the two elders, Anjie and Aldridge, ran desperately behind Lillard's ass. They were still young, and the fast-paced game was over. But for Garnett and Pierce, this is not as simple as gritted teeth.

   As expected, after less than half of the game was played in the third quarter, these two old guys had already run off. As long as they get a little chance, foul shots, free throws, dead balls, no matter what the chance, Garnett and Pierce will seize the time to support their knees and pant.

   It is precisely for this reason that the efficiency of Pierce and Garnett has continued to decline. Among them, Garnett did not score a point in the third quarter, which is the best interpretation of their performance in the third quarter. Although the Celtics need them both very much now, the fact is, for the sake of the fourth quarter, Rivers had to replace the two souls of the Green Army.

   Pierce and Garnett had just finished the first round, and the Trail Blazers immediately fought their familiar position. Either play in a way that is comfortable for you, or play in a way that your opponent feels uncomfortable. This is Ricard's tactical framework today.

   Although Jeff Green and Barbosa resisted desperately, these two guys are always just qualified starting players at this level. Faced with Anjie and Aldridge's left and right bows, the Celtics' defense was faltering. Garnett, Pierce and Rivers stomped their feet off the court, but they had no choice but to endure it.

   78 to 65, in a blink of an eye, the Celtics went from one point behind to 13 points behind. And Anjie is getting closer and closer to his goal. After half of 24 minutes, Garnett didn't even get a point.

"There is no way, we can switch off in the middle of the fourth quarter. But at the beginning, we must play to stabilize the situation!" Garnett anxiously exchanged views with Rivers, if it was the same year, Rivers would let them directly Just play the fourth quarter. But now, there are too many issues to consider.

   Rivers thought for a long time, but there is no better solution. If Garnett and Pierce continue to rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the point difference will only be even wider. First withstand the onslaught of the Blazers at the beginning and lay the foundation for the final battle. This is what the Celtics should do now!

   However, Rivers really thought that after Garnett and Pierce were on the field, the Celtics would be close to the score...

"Pegboard hat! The guard of the no-fly zone has caused Garnett to be humiliated!" Mike Brin's passionate shouts made everyone but the Celtics fans excited, and Garnett was incredible. Turning his head, he found that the Trail Blazers had already invested in a conversion attack.

   Just now, Garnett took advantage of his energy at the beginning of the game and planned to repeat the old trick with Brandon Bass. Inside and inside the pick and roll, Garnett once again had the opportunity to attack the basket. But this time, what greeted Garnett was no longer a good show of dunks, but the humiliation of being nailed by Anjie.

"Impossible." Fischer, who was sitting on the bench, looked at Anjie's actions on the court in disbelief. At first, Anjie said that he would not let Garnett get more than five points in the second half, Fischer. Er also believes that this is an impossible task. But until the game, Garnett's score in the second half is still zero.

   On the defensive end, Garnett, who was not energetic enough, was defeated by Anjie's tough back. You said, oh, whether An Jie is bullying the old man, or he won’t be able to win. In short, the trailblazers' lead has been tangibly expanded. As long as he can achieve this goal, An Jie doesn't care what means he uses.

   In the middle of the fourth quarter, Rivers took Pierce and Garnett as planned. But the score was not as close as it was planned.

   Ricard also replaced all three main players except Iguodala and Lillard, and when these three played again, it was the moment when the Celtics were completely defeated!

   Lillard and Iguodala faced off against the Celtics who lacked Garnett and Pierce. It was so easy.

   These two guys smashed the inside line guarded by Bass and Salinger, and An Jie was relaxing on the court drinking a drink and chatting with his teammates. The fans of TD North Shore Garden cursed secretly in their hearts, hoping that the Blazers would pay for their contempt. However, until the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, this curse was not fulfilled.

   Pierce and Garnett played again, and now there are only a small group of loyal Celtics fans who still have the belief in winning.

   "KG, you didn't score a point in the second half of the game." This time, it was Anjie's turn to speak to Garnett. This time, Garnett did not respond. Because he found that he was speechless...

   back shot, superb turn over footsteps, aim at the basket, jump shot. In any case, Garnett and Pierce now have no choice but to take up the offensive task. Therefore, Garnett turned over to shoot a jumper in front of An Jie as soon as he came on the court. Unfortunately, this move only added one more block to An Jie's data.

   Pierce also hopes to beat the young trailblazers with rhythm, but Nicholas Batum’s entanglement makes Pierce unable to find his own rhythm, how can he disrupt the opponent's rhythm? His offensive momentum was exhausted from the moment An Jie took the ball from his hand.

   Garnett ignored the time, because time is too cruel for him and the Celtics. He only wants to score, but he has been unable to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

"He made 0 for 4 shots. Kevin has made four shots since he was on the field, but his score in the second half is still zero. Unlucky KG, at his worst age, he met the most difficult An Jie "The last words of Mike Brin are undoubtedly the best interpretation of Garnett's unwillingness.

   If he and An Jie are about the same age, the two will definitely offer fans a matchup like sparks hitting the earth. Unfortunately, such a duel can only appear in the fantasy of Garnett and the fans...

   leaned on Anjie again, Garnett no longer remembered how many times he did this, nor did he remember how many times he had failed like this. But this stubborn veteran is still trying, trying to score.

   Garnett backed the basket with the ball and tried it out, but found that An Jie leaned a little farther. Do you want to guard against your own breakthrough? There is no reason, Anjie doesn't need to worry about Garnett's breakthrough.

   So Garnett decided to take a step back and try, to his surprise, he actually succeeded in pushing it forward!

   "Young people just love to relax!" The corner of Garnett's mouth turned slightly. He turned around abruptly, not forgetting to push Anjie with his shoulder during the turn, to gain more space for himself. Hook, without any interference. The basketball bounced to the front of the hoop, but in the second time, it bounced in.

   "Goal!" Garnett cried to himself in his heart~www.NovelMTL.com~ He was finally able to start scoring!

   Just before Garnett was over excited, he heard the buzzing of the timer and the red light on the backboard at the end of the game.

   "What!?" Garnett didn't pay attention to the game time, because he had to devote himself wholeheartedly to it. But he did not expect that the game time would be zero at this time...

   Garnett suddenly realized, he looked at An Jie, An Jie just opened his hands and smiled disapprovingly.

   The ball just now was just the last dignity that Anjie left to Garnett, the soul of the green army...

   Garnett hurriedly looked up at the big screen, then hung his head and shook helplessly.

"Okay, this is the dilemma that players of our age have to face. Look at that guy Ray, he was very smart to avoid this experience." Pierce put his arm around Garnett's shoulder, Ray Allen may Knowing their fate this season, will they resolutely join the Heat. In fact, how could Garnett and Pierce fail to guess their difficulties this season? It's just that in the hearts of these two old boys, there is still a small part of the beautiful fantasy floating outside of reality...

   108 to 90, this is the number Garnett just looked up and saw. The huge score difference of 18 points is why Garnett is heartbroken....
