The God of Basketball

Tony Allen was a tenacious and ferocious defender. He's heading toward the prime of his career and is starting to make his way to the All-Defensive Team.

Therefore, defending Crawford is an opportunity for him to improve his resume.

He put in 100 percent of his energy.

However, the sad thing is. Crawford is a man who doesn't play his cards according to common sense.

Although Tony Allen has a strong body and selfless defensive desire. However, facing an attacker like Crawford who is completely in the quantum entanglement stage, he is somewhat helpless.

No matter how difficult Kobe Bryant is to defend, at least he still has a set of skillful offensive tactics that can be traced.

But... Crawford is a completely random style of play.

After a simple feint, he will suddenly jump up and shoot violently, he doesn't care how far it is one meter from the three-point line. To Tony Allen's despair, the basketball actually went in.

Moreover, he often makes sudden jump shots while on the move, even though the pick-and-roll has already come, but he still ignores the cover of his teammates... This unconventional behavior of relying entirely on defense makes Tony Allen unable to figure it out, so the defensive logic is out of order. Extremely painful.

When human suffering is fermented at the level of thinking, the logic of behavior will naturally become dark and anxious.

After the opening of the third quarter, Tony Allen, who had high expectations, still followed Jamal's pace firmly.

However, the opening second round.

Crawford scored again.

Even though his right hand held Crawford's clothes tightly, his strong upper body almost knocked away Griffin who was covering... But there was no way, Bruce's pass was too tricky, he never dreamed that Bruce would Can pass the basketball from Pierce's crotch to the left and hand it over to Crawford, who runs without the ball.

Even more unexpected, Doc Rivers even closed his eyes in pain... Crawford actually hit a catch and shoot after running off the ball!

This goal made the Boston coaching staff smell extremely dangerous.

Originally, Li Zhen and Crawford were already very scary, even though they both needed to hold the ball in their hands.

but now,

Crawford can even play off the ball.

what does that mean?

It means that the smooth offensive of the Knicks in the second half of the second quarter will be further upgraded, even geometrically multiplied.

Bruce's ability, Doc Rivers is too clear. Although he has always encouraged Lagalondo to surpass Li Zhen, he is like a mirror in his heart. Lagalondo is the kind of point guard who can make players in various positions complement each other and have the least wear and tear on each other. This is already very valuable. .

But Li Zhen is the kind of point guard who allows teammates in various positions to perform beyond their own abilities. Once he gets a super scorer who can play off the ball, the position where the Knicks usher in an explosion is not only the 2nd position, but the other three positions will also follow the chickens and dogs.

Rivers gritted his teeth, feeling his temples twitching.

At the same time, the defensive coach Thibodeau next door is already there shouting to pay attention to the rhythm of the defense! !

But so what?

I wish I had known Kevin Garnett would be on the court.

As the best defender in the NBA, if he was there, how could the Knicks attack like tofu.

well!

Who would have thought that Jamal Crawford would suddenly explode? Isn't he put on the trading shelf? Why still let him play? Why is he still fighting so hard?

Doc Rivers is like a kindergarten kid with a mind full of question marks.

On the other hand, Isiah Thomas, who was standing at the other end, still had an air of calm and superior attitude, neither pleased with things nor sad with himself.

This made the New York fans in front of the TV, especially the Knicks owner James Dolan, feel refreshed for a while. In terms of outstanding demeanor, Isaiah is undoubtedly the number one in the world.

The game is still going on.

Tony Allen's defensive action became overreached under the extreme psychology of becoming angry.

It's pretty much the norm in Boston when he can't contain you with a frontal defense. He will use some small moves to make you uncomfortable... It's very similar to the Detroit Pistons back then. The difference is that the Celtics still have a bottom line. They are not directly aiming at injuring their opponents, and they will not hit other people's ribs or even the brain or cervical spine with their elbows.

However, pulling your pants when running, giving you a claw when you are stuck, and deliberately stretching your fingers to your crotch and even your eyes when you are shooting... How can you make your opponent feel uncomfortable? how come.

Tony Allen was on a bigger scale tonight.

In a hurry, he secretly gave him several dark elbows while running, intending to disrupt Crawford's rhythm.

But none of this detracted from Crawford's sharpness on the offensive end.

Thus, the accident happened in the third minute of the third quarter.

At that time, Crawford was still running without the ball. After completing a beautiful cross screen with Li Zhen, he quickly ran to the free throw line, then passed Eddie Griffin's screen, quickly turned back, and ran back for a three-pointer outside the line.

At this moment, Li Zhen's basketball was sent out in the form of a carbine just right.

If there is no accident, with Crawford's touch, he will hit this goal without any suspense, and nail another coffin board to the Celtics.

However, at the moment when he was about to receive the basketball, Tony Parker, who had been out of track, took the risk and grabbed Crawford's right index finger in a panic.

At that moment, my heart sank, and I pulled back and twisted fiercely.

Crawford could hear the crackling of bones.

But he still insisted on grabbing the basketball, and then shot the basketball out of his hand according to the inertia... At the moment of his shot, he felt that he had lost the sharpness of his opponent's touch, and he was even a little numb because of the pain.

boom!

Basketball strikes iron.

Crawford looked dejected.

But, fortunately, Eddie Griffin rushed into the penalty area and pointed the basketball into the basket over Perkins' head.

Swish!

When the point difference between the two teams expanded to 11 points with this goal.

beep!

Doc Rivers requested a timeout.

He stood with Thibodeau, struggling to discuss how to deal with the sudden outbreak of Crawford.

Just when he was at a loss, Paul Pierce walked over excitedly, and he told Rivers: "Coach, we are sure to win tonight!"

Um?

what happened?

Doc Rivers looked puzzled.

Meanwhile, Jamal Crawford grinned and walked back to the bench, clutching his right hand with his left hand as he realized his index finger was likely dislocated.

So, he told Li Zhen sadly: "I'm sorry, Bruce. I may not be able to help you anymore."

Seeing his appearance, Li Zhen hurriedly called the team doctor over.

And concerned about him, what happened?

Crawford said he was pulled hard by Tony Allen.

The judgment made by the team doctor was dislocation, and there may be ligament problems. Need to go to the hospital for further examination.

Li Zhen's face darkened at that time.

And when Crawford stood up and walked to the player tunnel accompanied by the team doctor, the entire North Shore Garden even gave out inhuman cheers and applause.

They were frightened by Crawford.

Now that Crawford has left, their villainous mood poured out crazily.

At the same time, the big screen above the head played back the whole process of Crawford's injury.

When the North Shore Garden Arena clearly saw how Tony Allen gritted his teeth, pulled and twisted Crawford's index finger, fans were still cheering and celebrating! !

The anger of the Knicks bench is like a fire cooking oil, boiling up!

Li Zhen clenched his fist into an iron fist, and he swore secretly that he must seek justice.

How can this group of villains succeed, how can this group of villains pocket victory?

beep!

The whistle sounded.

All the Knicks stepped onto the court in a murderous spirit.

Correspondingly, the Celtics temporarily replaced Tony Allen.

It's not that I feel uneasy because I hurt my opponent.

It's because the Celtics are too aware of the referee's routine. At this time, Tony Allen is replaced, and if the Knicks players make any aggressive retaliation, the referee will lean towards the Knicks.

NBA referees are keen to create balance. He did not catch Tony Allen's malicious injury, and he will definitely be stricter on Tony Allen in terms of penalty scale.

So, everything is just for the greater good.

What's more, now is the stage of chasing points, replacing Tony Allen with Ray Allen is a reasonable move.

...

After Lagalondo brought the ball to the frontcourt, he calmly passed it to Paul Pierce.

Facing Jeffries' defense, Pierce put out his all-out stance, opened up a little space with his dexterous and changeable tentative steps, took a sudden step forward, and then made a sudden stop for a jump shot... Swoosh!

Pierce hits a mid-range shot.

The live DJ chanted the counterattack to start.

The North Shore Garden Arena was full of excitement, and the sound was boiling.

"You will be defeated immediately."

Paul Pierce turned sideways, and he looked at Li Zhen with a fierce expression: "Without Crawford, what are you left with?"

Li Zhen was disgusted by Pierce's arrogant expression, he had never seen such a shameless person. Using insidious moves to get his opponent out of the field, he is still arrogant.

What an audacity!

Pooh!

Li Zhen spit at him.

His expression is grim.

"Only by you?"

Li Zhen took the basketball from Jeffries and stepped forward firmly.

At this time, Rondo quickly defended.

Paul Pierce also actively mobilized the defense, shouting to quickly link up, defend the ball, and the Knicks will be finished soon! !

Pierce clearly knew that the Knicks would definitely counterattack strongly with this ball.

However, once the ball is defended, the Knicks' aura will drop visible to the naked eye, and even become a kind of impotent rage.

On this basis, Boston kept imposing sarcasm to unbalance their mentality. It is even possible to recover the 9-point difference in the third quarter, and even overtake the score, ending the suspense of the game.

Therefore, this ball is particularly important.

Of course Li Zhen also knew.

In any war, momentum is very important.

Therefore, this ball, he does not want to pretend to be someone else, he wants to stab the heart of the Bostonians himself.

He lowered his head and slapped the basketball slowly.

At the same time, Eddie Griffin and others opened up the defense with a tacit understanding.

They know Bruce Lee all too well.

If Bruce Lee doesn't even have this kind of spirit, how can he become the master of the alliance.

...
