I’m Really Playing Basketball

Since the last game between the Celtics and Nets, Pierce has been thinking about many, many things.

In the last game, as the truth, he was shot through by Chen Xiao again, which made Pierce very angry.

This is completely different from the last game, when Chen Xiao made a buzzer-beater in front of him and said, "The truth is also within my range."

He was convinced when he was hit by Chen Xiao's "Best Trash Talk" on the court.

In that game, Chen Xiao performed really well.

But in the last direct confrontation between the two, it was clearly him who won personally!

Just because the Nets won the game, Chen Xiao shot wildly in front of him and scored several fairy balls. The media exclaimed, 'Shoot through the truth! ’, why? !

How come you guys didn't see how many times he worked to hit those magic balls?

He is also in the Nets!

He just has someone telling the truth!

In other teams, with his crazy shooting style in the last game, he has long been blamed for the team's loss!

So, the last game, it wasn’t ‘Shoot the Truth! ’ is ‘Truth wins! ’

I have to say that there is nothing wrong with Pierce's idea.

In a game between the Celtics and the Nets, Chen Xiao shot 12 of 27 from the field. Most of the points he scored in the first half came from playing Delk in a misplaced pick-and-roll with Kidd.

After the Nets established a very big lead in the first half, Chen Xiao finally couldn't resist the urge to shoot the truth in the second half. He followed the style of the two bosses Kobe and Iverson and pulled out Pierce in a crazy and picturesque way.

Although Pierce's hands are shorter, with Chen Xiao's pull-up and Pierce's defensive ability, what percentage of Chen Xiao's hits can he get?

You can imagine how bad Chen Xiao's shooting percentage was in the second half.

It doesn’t matter if you score a few goals, every goal you score is a classic!

The Nets could have won more, but Chen Xiaolang's victory turned into a small victory.

Therefore, it is very normal for Pierce to be unconvinced.

As far as personal competition is concerned, Pierce won the last time the Nets and Celtics met.

However, because the Nets won in the end, Chen Xiao made 12 of 27 shots and scored 32 points. The overall statistics were very beautiful. Regardless of whether most of them were against Delk, those few magic balls in the second half were thrown at Pierce. Yes, this is correct, right?

The team won the game and had very good statistics. In addition, there was another magic ball against Pierce. The media and fans said, "Shoot through the truth!" ’, which also makes sense.

Although this is indeed very unfair to Pierce.

No wonder Pierce was upset.

And this is why Pierce has changed so much recently.

As the team with the worst tactical literacy in the NBA along with Antoine Walker, Pierce's tactical literacy has been on the rise after the last game against the Nets.

After the last game against the Nets and Chen Xiao, Pierce actually realized the significance of the team's victory or defeat to individual players.

I have to say, this really feels like a blessing in disguise.

At the very least, Celtics head coach O'Brien is really grateful to Chen Xiao.

Pierce is such a stubborn person.

He was actually forced to grow up by Chen Xiao, a rookie, and the national media.

Of course, Pierce's ability to be forced to grow has a lot to do with his own character and willpower.

If he were a weak player, he would have collapsed long ago after encountering such repeated blows.

Even if he is not a weak player, he is just an ordinary player, he will collapse when he encounters such a blow.

However, Pierce grew and advanced under such tremendous pressure.

Pierce's personal strength has not improved, but his ability to handle the ball and his understanding of the game have greatly improved.

In terms of scoring, assists, and defense, Pierce has become more calm and at ease. He can provide whatever the team needs.

Put the team's success first, not your own satisfaction.

Pierce is originally a comprehensive offensive and defensive player with strong strength.

There is nothing wrong with saying that he is a version of Kobe with enhanced height and slightly weakened talent and skills.

In the past, when Zhang Fei was still reckless, there were not many people in the NBA who could stop Pierce. Now that Zhang Fei can embroider, it is even more difficult to be blocked.

At the very least, the current Chen Xiao is definitely unstoppable.

Chen Xiao's current strength and weight are not weak, but it is still a bit difficult to block Pierce in terms of strength.

He can indeed defend Pierce's extreme singles very well now. However, after the start of the game, Pierce did not play extreme singles in front of him and tried to pull him out, which made Chen Xiao somewhat powerless.

Pierce's offense is all for the purpose of passing the ball after his teammates attract the defense.

Even if he wanted to attack, he would block Chen Xiao away first, and then face other people to attack.

This truth that Chen Xiao was very familiar with, but now that the game has become like this, Chen Xiao doesn't even know it anymore!

To be reasonable, you did not force the truth to become what it is now!

When an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent!

After the game started, the New Jersey Nets, who were in full shape, thought it would be a very easy victory.

As the team with the highest tactical literacy in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics, who have the lowest tactical literacy in the Eastern Conference, have always been very easy.

As long as the Nets are much ahead, Chen Xiao can happily shoot the truth again.

But after the first half of this game, the big score between the two sides was 47 to 47!

The two teams actually ended up tied in the first half.

As perhaps the team with the worst tactical literacy among the top teams in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics' tactical literacy in this game went beyond the understanding of Byron Scott and the Nets.

Is this still the Celtics that the Nets can knead at will?

You should treat each other with admiration after three days of separation!

Of course, this is also related to the regular season competition system. There are too many games in the regular season, and few teams continue to observe a team to formulate targeted tactics.

Especially for the league's number one Nets.

In the East, only others are targeting the Nets.

As for the Nets, they have been studying the Lakers and Kings, and the Celtics are really nothing.

But this insignificant Celtic really caused a lot of trouble for the Nets in this game.

In fact, Celtics head coach O'Brien himself was very surprised by the strength displayed by the Celtics in this game.

The Celtics have been very disciplined recently, but they are definitely not as disciplined as this game!

The most disciplined member of the Celtics recently is Pierce, but in this game, even Antoine Walker was very disciplined!

I have no choice but to play against the Nets or the Wonder Boy.

As a brother, how could Walker not help Pierce?

What's wrong with being a good student for one night for my Pippi?

Therefore, facing the Celtics who suddenly attacked the Nets in this game, Nets head coach Byron Scott was a little angry.

We lost to the Pacers in the last game, and have lost two of the past five games. In this home game against the Celtics, we really can't lose again!

Therefore, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Nets made tactical adjustments. They could no longer continue step by step. They had to increase the intensity of their defense and the intensity of the game!

Pierce and Antoine Walker are stronger, but the overall strength of the Nets is stronger!

Also, Kidd and Chen Xiao can play more pick-and-rolls. In the first half, Pierce played very rationally.

On defense, Pierce mainly defended alone and supplemented with assist defense, and he handled it very well.

Chen Xiao still played a lot in singles. Although the efficiency of 5 of 12 was pretty good, it made Pierce play too calmly on the defensive end.

In the second half, Pierce cannot be too calm on the defensive end!

Unfortunately, Byron Scott's adjustments were comprehensive and timely, but he is not mediocre if he can't stand up to O'Brien!

The key is that the Celtics are well prepared for this game!

In the second half of the game, the Celtics were no longer Pierce and Jr. Bremer defending Chen Xiao and Kidd.

In the second half of the game, the Celtics guarded Kidd as Pierce, and Chen Xiao as 2.03-meter, 100-kilogram forward Eric Williams!

So the question is, where is Jr. Bremer?

The Celtics' 1.88 meter dribbling guard went to guard Richard Jefferson!

Therefore, after the third quarter, the Nets were originally preparing to establish their advantage in the game, but the final result was that the two teams were still anxious!

Let me tell you, Richard Jefferson, who was defeated by Antoine Walker in the first half of the game, shot 1 of 6 from the field and his hand was very bad.

This is why the Celtics dared to use Jr. Bremer to defend Richard Jefferson in the second half.

After being knocked out by Antoine Walker, Richard Jefferson's already unstable shooting made Celtics head coach O'Brien even more relieved.

He bet that Richard Jefferson wouldn't dare to shoot again even against a defender like Jr. Brembo.

Facts have proved that O'Brien is really talented. In the third quarter, Richard Jefferson really had doubts about his shooting.

I just want to impact like before, but no matter how powerful Richard Jefferson is, his ability to control the ball is not that strong, and his strength is not that strong. It is not that easy to overpower a small defender.

Therefore, throughout the third quarter, Richard Jefferson was originally a point to punish the Celtics for misaligned defense changes, but in the end, throughout the third quarter, Richard Jefferson forced two shots. Once, he made 1 of 1. Another time, he caused a foul on Walker, who was assisting in defense at the basket. He made 1 of 2 free throws and scored 3 points.

The efficiency is high, but there is a ball!

A 2.01 meter small forward can't even punish a 1.88 meter small guard!

Watching this game, James, who is currently attending business activities in New York, frowned.

It's a sudden attack, a back hit, a strong throw!

Don't tell me you're so big that you can't even hit such a small defender? !

Facts have proved that it really can’t be beaten!

In the third quarter, the two teams played 21-21, and the two teams were tied again at 68-68 entering the fourth quarter.

In the previous few offenses, Richard Jefferson was responsible for all the Nets' attacks.

The Celtics' defensive strength was all piled up in front of Chen Xiao and Kidd, and Richard Jefferson really needed to stand up.

But in the first four offenses of the Nets in the fourth quarter, Richard Jefferson turned around and went to the basket to complete a dunk.

In the other three times, there were two back shots, and all the shots were iron, and the iron was quite outrageous, and the other attack was all direct and non-stick.

What about the other time?

The other time, all the Nets fans who watched were a little dumbfounded.

Richard Jefferson hit Jr. Bremer on the back, and Bremer fell to the ground in an exaggerated manner. Not only did Richard Jefferson fail to score, but he was also called for an offensive foul by Bremer.

Did Bremer dive?

Fake, this is a fact.

But is Richard's back-up technique rough?

That's really rough!

Such a big man, fighting against such a small man, actually wanted to use brute force to push back.

Use a little force, push away a little, turn around and shoot, isn't it uncomfortable?

Comfortable is indeed comfortable, but it’s really not accurate!

Richard Jefferson's attack on Bremer's back made James, who was worried about Chen Xiao in front of the TV, laugh.

It also made Nets head coach Byron Scott despair.

He really found the opponent's tactical loophole!

However, if the players are not good enough, what can he do?

As the Celtics piled all the defensive pressure on Chen Xiao and Kidd, one can imagine the offensive efficiency of Kidd and Chen Xiao.

In the third quarter, Kidd made 1 of 2 and Chen Xiao made 2 of 7. Kidd looked okay. That's because Kidd gave all the strong attacks to Chen Xiao, and Kidd let Chen Xiao hit all the iron.

If Boozer hadn't scored 8 points on 3-for-3 shooting in the third quarter, the Nets might have fallen behind entering the fourth quarter.

Antoine Walker's defense is a bit lax, just like O'Neal.

Walker's offense was very disciplined in this game and defeated Richard Jefferson.

But on the defensive end, it's still very sloppy.

So after replacing Eric Williams in front of Chen Xiao, Boozer played very comfortably offensively.

However, although the Nets did not fall behind in the third quarter thanks to Boozer's superb performance, they were still four points behind 70 to 74 thanks to Richard Jefferson's 'super' four possessions in the fourth quarter. point.

You may not believe it, but this is the biggest score difference between the two sides in this game.

Until the fourth quarter of this game, the score difference between the two teams had never been more than 4 points!

It can be seen how intense this game was.

Fortunately, the four-point difference is not big, and, to be honest, the Celtics are not that easy to beat the Nets.

And since we know that Richard Jefferson can't punish Bremer against the current Celtics, then let's use Boozer to punish Walker.

If Nets head coach Byron Scott had known that Richard Jefferson had such a bad touch in this game, he should have used Boozer long ago!

But you can’t blame Scott.

As a head coach, you have two choices before you.

Richard Jefferson punished Bremer.

Boozer punishes Antoine Walker.

Richard Jefferson is the team's third-leading player, and Bremer is the rookie small guard.

Boozer is the team's rookie starter, and his opponent is an All-Star like Walker.

Even if Boozer goes 3-for-3 in the third quarter, can you really put all your money on Boozer right away?

Maybe many good and adventurous head coaches will choose this way.

Nets head coach Byron Scott is just an ordinary head coach.

However, he is still very good. He knows how to turn and can trust the rookies.

Perhaps, this is also why Chen Xiao's outstanding performance this season has raised his expectations for rookie players.

It turns out that Byron Scott’s expectations were effective.

When the Nets changed their main attack direction from Richard Jefferson to Boozer.

The Nets' offense has obviously improved.

The Nets, which were originally 4 points behind, began to chase points.

When there were 34 seconds left in the fourth quarter, with Boozer's long-range two-pointer, the Nets finally tied the score to 86-86!

After the hit, Boozer, who had always been quite shy and honest in the team, transformed into a wolf warrior and howled like a ghost like Garnett.

You can't blame Boozer for this.

Because Boozer's score was his 13th point in the fourth quarter!

That's right, in the entire fourth quarter, the Nets have scored a total of 18 points so far, and Boozer alone contributed 13 points.

Throughout the fourth quarter, Kidd didn't take a shot, and Chen Xiao was 0 for 2. Neither of them took many shots, and the offense was difficult. Both of them focused on the defensive end.

Since you have points that can punish your opponent, use the penalty points.

In addition, Martin made 1 of 3 and scored 3 points, and Richard Jefferson made 1 of 3 and scored 2 points. This is the remaining five points of the Nets.

As for Bago's 0-for-2 and Kidders' 2-for-0, I won't talk about that.

Boozer, on the other hand, shot 6 of 7 in the fourth quarter, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored a team-high 13 points in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter of this game, Boozer played the team's main attack spot for the first time in his career. His mid-range shot was really solid!

Of course, Antoine Walker's defense is also really lazy.

The shot Boozer missed was a three-pointer.

Boozer had a chance at the three-point line, but Walker still didn't come out. Boozer, who was shooting high, shot a three-pointer like this.

Finally, gorgeous blacksmithing.

In the end, I can only say that the mid-range shot is two points longer, and the three-point shot is longer. Although the two-point shot is a little longer than the mid-range shot, and the three-point shot is a little longer than the two-point shot, the three are really not the same thing.

Boozer is shooting 48% from mid-range shots this season, and 41% from long-range two-pointers, but his three-point shooting percentage is 0!

This three-pointer in this game was Boozer's second three-pointer this season. He is 0 for 2 in his career!

There were 34 seconds left in the game, and the score difference between the two sides was so close. Of course, the Celtics had to request a timeout.

After all, this is likely to be the Celtics' last chance to attack in this game.

At the end of the timeout, the Boston Celtics sent a baseline kick. Celtics head coach O'Brien on the sidelines signaled Bremer, who was slowly passing halftime, to hand the basketball in his hands to Pierce's hands.

In fact, O'Brien was afraid that Bremer would be frightened by the pressure at such a critical moment and his mind would go blank and he would be unable to make a decision.

In fact, O'Brien's worries are unnecessary. Bremer was very calm in this game. Although the boos from the Nets fans were terrifying, he could withstand it!

After all, he came up from being drafted with nothing, and he cherishes the opportunity he got more than anyone else!

In this game, the Celtics were able to beat the Nets so hard, and his defense against Richard Jefferson in the second half was the most important.

There are less than 40 seconds left in the game. For Pierce, of course he has to control the rhythm.

Now the score of both sides is the same. Press the time to 24 seconds and take the shot calmly, leaving little time for the Nets.

As an offensive kaleidoscope with a much slower frequency than McGrady, Pierce actually likes this kind of key ball with enough time.

He felt that his heart was very big, and at the same time, he had enough time to choose his attack method. He felt that his confidence was very, very big!

Pierce, who had been using pick-and-rolls to beat Chen Xiao throughout the game, this time, to everyone's surprise, Pierce didn't try to use the screen.

Tony Barty, Walker and other Celtic players all pulled away from the beginning, preparing for Pierce to play Chen Xiao in singles.

"I have been waiting for this day for a long, long time!"

In these games with Chen Xiao, Pierce, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in and spoke again!

Because of the truth, I feel that I have a great advantage!

After using his own strength to push Chen Xiao, who was fighting and retreating, to the waist position, Pierce turned around and dribbled. According to Chen Xiao's understanding of Pierce's game, Pierce was preparing to break through!

But just when Chen Xiao once again fought and retreated to defend Pierce's breakthrough!

After completing his turn, Pierce bounced out instead of inward!

A very gorgeous turnaround and step-back jump shot!

Pierce's steps even made the Nets fans watching on the big screen wet!

And what makes Nets fans even more wet is that Pierce's shot this time was the last shot made when time was running out!

A swipe!

88 to 86!

After Pierce hit the mid-range shot, he tore his jersey crazily. At this moment, in the silence of Nets fans, Pierce completely exploded!

"Hahahaha, I finally completed the killing blow on his head!"

On the sidelines, seeing that there were only 10 seconds of attack time left, Nets head coach Byron Scott requested a timeout.

At this time, both the local TV station in New Jersey and CCTV were repeatedly reviewing Chen Xiao's past winning shots.

To be honest, every kill is a gamble.

No matter how good Chen Xiao's past winning record is, moments like this will make people sweat.

Even James' heart was in his throat at this time.

No surprise, after the Nets timed out, they served from the sideline and it was Chen Xiao who they were looking for!

As for the Celtics, it was Eric Williams who defended Chen Xiao.

Pierce served from the sideline where Kidd was blocked.

After Chen Xiao caught the ball, time passed by second by second, but Chen Xiao did not take action immediately when faced with Eric Williams' defense.

"Even after falling behind by two points, Wonder Boy is still pressing for time!"

The 76ers head coach Larry Brown and the 76ers players who came to New York as guests in front of the TV were shocked.

Because, this reminds them of the game between the Nets and the 76ers!

This plot is so similar!

"Impossible, how could the Wonder Boy hit such a killer shot again!"

Larry Brown didn't believe it.

In this game, Wonder Boy's touch was average, and the Celtics' defensive strategy was very good, which opened a door for him to defend Wonder Boy and the Nets.

"This time, it's absolutely impossible for the Wonder Boy to kill!"

Because, wait a minute, the Celtics in this game are not the 76ers.

Wait a minute, Pierce will just throw Kidd away!

Pierce, Eric Williams will double team Wonder Boy!

Just like they did in the fourth quarter and other times of this game!

Squeezing time is seeking death. He can't find rhythm by squeezing time!

And without rhythm, it is also death!

Iverson's face was still stern, and his eyes were also shining with excitement.

"He's waiting for Pierce!"

After Iverson finished speaking in a cold voice, the 76ers players and Larry Brown next to him looked at Iverson with wide eyes.

Um? !

At this time, on TV, when Pierce rushed to Chen Xiao, Eric Williams sided and moved Pierce in front of Chen Xiao. After the two formed a perfect two-person pincer attack on Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao Xiao looked at the time above his head, well, it’s time to take action!

Waiting for Pierce?

No, he is simply pressing for time!

Why does he like to beat the clock and hit the buzzer beater?

It's not to shock Iverson and the others, it's really not to show off.

Simply, he didn't want to give his opponent a chance to score a decisive victory, and he didn't want to use the scoring experience card twice in one game!

Score experience cards are so precious!

Chen Xiao ignored the double attack of Pierce and Eric Williams.

With a balance of 90, a bounce of 80, a three-pointer of 90, a height of 2.03 meters, and a wingspan of 2.21 meters, Chen Xiao can do whatever he wants with his shooting!

Boss Ke can treat the defense of five people like air and take action whenever he wants.

Although Chen Xiao is not as domineering and capable as Boss Ke now, but the two people's attack wants to prevent Chen Xiao from taking action?

dream!

Jumping, pulling up high, leaning back, turning sideways, leaning back again, drifting, all kinds of flashes and moves in the air to avoid blocks and confrontations, they are so picturesque that they are breathtaking!

Kick!

Take action!

When the basketball passed through the hands of Pierce and Eric Williams, it drew a very beautiful arc and flew towards the basket!

Bang!

Chen Xiao, who completed various difficult dodges and maneuvers in the air, fell from the air!

However, Chen Xiao didn't wait for his teammates to come up, and stood up with a smile.

After Pierce and Eric Williams fell from the sky in front of him, they all suddenly turned back to look at the basketball that had flown to the basket.

At this time, whether it was Pierce, the Celtics or Nets players on the court, as well as the Nets fans on the sidelines and the Chinese fans in front of the TV, everyone was watching this basketball at this time.

When Pierce was about to roar, he wanted to slam the basketball onto the rim!

A swipe!

The sound of the basketball hitting the net is particularly pleasant in the silence of the world!

"Paul, is this the day you've been waiting for so long?"

"Paul, tell me, did you deliberately create an opportunity for me to shoot you?!"

"..."

Pierce turned around mechanically and looked at Chen Xiao, who was looking at him with wide and bright eyes excitedly, with a dull look on his face.

And on the sidelines...

"Chen Xiao, shot through the truth!"

"Tonight, Chen Xiao shot the truth through again!!!"

Teacher Zhang’s roar tonight resounded throughout the country!
