It seems that this team does not look like a weak team.
There are only three strong points in this team, Buss, Rondo, and Green. No one else can be dangerous to the Spurs, and this means that the threat that person poses to the Spurs is also limited. So and Kay
Before the Celtics played, **Vitch arranged for Derrick Favors to defend Buss, a strong inside player, thereby freeing up Duncan.
Chen Feng organized the offense, and Parker pulled to the top of the key to catch the ball. Holding the ball with both hands, he stepped forward with his right foot, and Parker instantly rushed towards the opponent's inside line. Although Parker is no longer at his peak, his ability to read the game is ranked first in the entire league.
But he was in the top ten, so he still attracted a double-team from his opponent. Seeing his opponent implement a double-team strategy, Parker waved his hand and the ball reached Leonard who was outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right.
Perhaps it was because the game had just started and the hand hadn't warmed up yet, but Leonard's three-pointer hit the backboard directly and was caught by Humphries who was standing under the basket.
Rajon Rondo controlled the ball, and the fans in the audience immediately booed.
However, Rajon Rondo didn't care about this. Slowly passing through the midfield, facing Parker's defense, Rajon Rondo burst in from Parker's right side with a lunge. When Parker reacted, he
He bumped into a black figure, and it turned out that Buss stepped forward to pick and roll. Using Buss's pick and roll, Rajon Rondo broke through and went straight to the basket to score.
Chen Feng dribbled the ball, and the audience burst into warm applause and cheers.
After halftime, after Derrick Favors took over, Parker immediately hit the ball in. This was the tactic arranged by **Vitch, starting from the inside to open up the situation. Derrick Favors hit hard.
Bass, however, did not choose to take action, but handed the ball to Duncan on the other side. At this time, Humphries was stuck behind Duncan's strong body, so Duncan pushed back after receiving the ball.
, made a layup, but the ball actually bounced out of the basket, and Bass grabbed the backboard.
Chen Feng looked solemnly at Rajon Rondo on the left. No one can underestimate the strength of Rajon Rondo. Although there has been no competition for a long time, Parker may not be able to block his opponent one-on-one.
It can be said that Parker tried his best to defend Rajon Rondo, but what he didn't expect was that he had clearly felt Rajon Rondo's breakthrough route. However, Rajon Rondo still broke through.
After Rajon Rondo got inside, he didn't choose to pass the ball when faced with Derrick Favors' defense. Instead, he shot the ball in a very weird way after making physical contact with Derrick Favors.
, it was neither a draw nor a shot. The ball went in and the buzzer sounded. Derrick Favors committed a defensive foul, and Rajon Rondo made an extra penalty effortlessly, making it a two-plus-one game.
In the following contest, the Celtics took some initiative. Buss and Humphries successfully hit the inside, Rajon Rondo also succeeded frequently with breakthroughs from the outside, and the old Elvis Presley also hit consecutive long-range shots.
On the other hand, the Spurs made no offensive achievements except for Leonard's mid-range jumper, Chen Feng's layup, and Parker's three-pointer.
With 7 minutes and 59 seconds left in the first quarter, the Spurs trailed their opponents by 5 points at 9:14, and Vicki finally couldn't sit still and called a timeout.
The Spurs showed signs of decline less than 4 minutes into the first quarter, and in such a short period of time, the Celtics scored 14 points. It has to be said that the Spurs'
The defensive strength is very weak, which can also be seen from the other side of the Celtics' offensive firepower.
After the timeout, **Vic made some adjustments to the Spurs' lineup, because Derrick Favors had committed two fouls in the previous contest with Buss, and was unable to contain Buss' performance.
So Derrick Favors was replaced by Jordan Hill, a tough guy.
On the other hand, the Celtics have made a lot of changes to their lineup. However, no matter how they change, their lineup is still the same. However, they were able to defeat the Heat at the beginning of the season, which is incredible.
After the game restarted, Jordan Hill made a great contribution to the team.
Jordan Hill first blocked Buss' layup, then received Chen Feng's pass and put the layup under the basket.
Before the game, everyone knew that Rajon Rondo must be guarded in this game. At the beginning, Parker, who had rested for too long, may not have adjusted to his condition yet. When Vicki called a timeout,
, in the next offense, Chen Feng changed his position to defend Rajon Rondo, causing him to miss two consecutive mid-range shots.
Jordan Hill grabbed the backcourt rebound, turned around and threw the ball to the frontcourt, where Chen Feng and Parker were already running, but no Celtics player caught up to defend.
Under the circumstances, Chen Feng and Parker made an alley-oop, and Chen Feng dunked the ball into the basket beautifully.
Naturally, the perfect alley-oop coordination between the two won the warmest cheers from the fans in the audience.
Rajon Rondo controlled the ball, slowly passed the half court, and came to the three-point line opposite the basket. Facing Chen Feng's defense, he accelerated directly and tried to pass the opponent. But Chen Feng's defense was very strong.
Strong, with extremely flexible footsteps and excellent agility, he did not let Rajon Rondo break through.
Looking at Chen Feng's posture, Rajon Rondo was not careless. He made a step in front of Chen Feng, and then inserted it inside. Chen Feng naturally did not suffer in the speed competition, but Rondo won in agility and
Weird. So even though Chen Feng tried his best, he could only keep up with Rajon Rondo, and he couldn't think about anything else.
"Man, your defense has become stronger again." Rajon Rondo couldn't help but tell Chen Feng.
At this time, Chen Feng focused all his energy on defending Rajon Rondo, so Chen Feng turned a deaf ear to his words.
Rajon Rondo also had a certain understanding of Chen Feng's temper, so he wasn't angry when he saw that Chen Feng didn't express anything, but he couldn't help but dribble much faster than before.
Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball with his right hand, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Chen Feng's right side, then made a sudden stop in front of Chen Feng and suddenly changed direction. Chen Feng's defense was really hard, but Rajon Rondo
is truly unstoppable. He
The breakthrough was extremely sharp and varied. Even though Chen Feng tried his best, Rajon Rondo successfully broke through. After Rajon Rondo got rid of Chen Feng's defense, he directly stopped and shot a jumper, and the ball "swish"
With a bang, he entered the basket.
Chen Feng secretly sighed at Rajon Rondo's strength. Even though he was seriously injured, Rondo's ability to read the game is indeed not comparable to that of a third-year student like Chen Feng. And Rajon Rondo just made a breakthrough
It has been used with all its strength, although on the surface it seems
, Rajon Rondo was extremely relaxed. Rajon Rondo was also extremely shocked. This kid's defensive ability is really strong now. This is the first time the two of them have played against each other. Although they have known each other before, he did not think that Chen Feng was in the game.
The defensive end can pose such a big threat to himself.
"This guy is really good." This is Rajon Rondo's evaluation of Chen Feng, but he will not express it deliberately. Sometimes admiring a person too much may cause him to lose his calm judgment.
Slowly dribbling the ball, for defense, the Celtics' perimeter can stop Chen Feng from Rondo and a few others, and the one who can keep up with Chen Feng in speed is Rondo. The puller in front of him is Rondo.
Rajon Rondo squatted down to defend Chen Feng, and Chen Feng was also slowly advancing. Every time he took a step forward, Rajon Rondo took a step back, maintaining a gap of about one step. This could prevent Chen Feng from
Breakthroughs can also prevent Chen Feng from shooting. But Chen Feng does not have no breakthroughs or shots.
Chen Feng's excellent vision naturally saw that when Parker was cutting and running towards the basket, Chen Feng suddenly made a ground pass. Rajon Rondo tried to steal the ball, but failed. The ball had already appeared.
It was in the hands of Parker behind him, and then there was a beautiful layup.
"Oh, I bought it..." The fans at the scene once again screamed for Chen Feng's performance.
"Rajon Rondo stepped over and dribbled, but Chen Feng was not fooled. However, with Rajon Rondo's continuous changes of direction and the cover of his teammates, Rajon Rondo finally got rid of Chen Feng's defense and rushed inside.
Successful dunk! Oh my god, it actually caused a defensive foul on Chen." The commentator on the scene couldn't help but excitedly commented while watching the game on the court.
At this point in the game, with only 4 minutes and 21 seconds left in the first quarter, the Celtics head coach called a timeout to allow several starting players to rest.
For the Spurs, Parker was replaced by Ginobili, Leonard was replaced by Wesley Johnson, and Duncan was replaced by Diaw.
After Rajon Rondo made an easy free throw, he quickly retreated to defend.
Jordan Hill is very happy. After this guy joined the Spurs, he was trained very well by the two men - Vicky and Duncan. Although it was very hard, his strength increased very quickly, especially when attacking. I saw
After making two beautiful feints, the big man suddenly turned around and came to the basket. At this time, the defensive players were squeezed behind him. Seeing the ball, Jordan Hill was about to end the offense with a two-handed slam dunk.
But suddenly, Humphries, who was supposed to be guarding Jordan Hill, came out. He stretched out his long arm and slapped the basketball in Jordan Hill's hand hard with a big hand.
At this time, Jordan Hill was dunking the ball with both hands, and Humphries was blocking the shot with one hand. No matter from which aspect, Jordan Hill should have the advantage, but Jordan Hill suddenly felt that Humphries was so weak at this time.
With his huge hand, he slapped the basketball out and fell outside the court. (To be continued...)
