Chapter 164: The Black Ship

With a score of 11:8, the Celtics trailed the Clippers by three points at home, and even more passive was their two starting interior players, who both sat off the court in just half a quarter.

The old Dunleavy lineup decisively made Elton. Brand and Ji Guoqiu exchanged defensive targets, canceled the joint defense, and re-marked people.

Charles. Barkley saw Ji Guoyi and Garnett scolding each other from the backcourt to the replay in the frontcourt, and said with a gloating face: "I know some people say that Nowitzki is a template for the little fox." But now it seems that Garnett is clearly more similar. Unfortunately, we couldn't hear what they had to say, and I thought it would be wonderful. ”

Kenny. Smith wasn't as boring as him, shook his head and said, "Garnett isn't calm enough, he shouldn't be too entangled with a rookie, he can't take advantage of it anyway, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Charles. Barkley laughed, "Of course, it's not just me who understands, I'm sure Kevin himself knows this." But I want to say that this is his character, whether facing a rookie or Ma Long, he is a guy who refuses to suffer. ”

Garnett sat down on the sidelines, still angry, with a hideous expression that wanted to choose someone to devour. Seeing this, the Celtics players stayed away from him so as not to harm the pond fish. Garnett knew that it was very unwise for him to fight with a rookie on the court, if it weren't for Ji Guoyi's sentence of "splitting scumbag", he wouldn't be as knowledgeable as that little guy!

"How is it possible, I have only been splitting my legs for a long time, how does he know?" Garnett's excitement in the first quarter had a lot to do with the fact that he was caught by the little fox's tail. Splitting the legs. What he did was sneaky and extremely hidden. And it's been less than a month, so no one should know, right?

Rivers couldn't take care of the suspicious Garnett for the time being. When the Celtics coach saw Brand playing, he was shocked again: This guy is not easy to deal with, I don't know how much form he has now?

Brand appeared earlier than expected under Ji Guoyi's "redemption tactics".

The Clippers have reverted to man-to-man tactics on the defensive end, but the Clippers are still difficult to deal with without joint defense, and sometimes they play man-to-man, which may be more powerful than joint defense. The Clippers' defensive tactics are constantly adjusted depending on the opponent's lineup and form.

After Garnett went off the field. The Clippers' defensive threat in the middle and in the restricted area has been greatly reduced.

Now Celtic's interior line is Scala who has little attacking ability. Brian, this is a water cooler patron; Another Glenn. Davis. Nicknamed Big Baby, he is about the same height as Brand, but he weighs 300 pounds, at first glance. It's like a little ball of meat. This guy may be able to be a spoiler at a certain time, but today is obviously not the time for him to show his face, Brand just restrains the big baby, and his little fat can't knock over the old captain.

Thunder. Allen ran around the court, caught the ball from the outside, and hit a three-pointer.

Killer Ray relied on erratic running to support the team on the offensive end, and the Wolves unexpectedly went off the court early. Allen is one of the most reliable players.

The Clippers attack. Kassel dribbled the basketball to the frontcourt, and instead of handing the ball to Brand in the low post first, he handed the basketball to Ji Guoqiu at the free throw line. This move made everyone see the situation of the Clippers right now. This is no longer Brand's time, and this is what the change of dynasty means.

Brand can also be regarded as bending and stretching, seeing this, he turned around and cut into the basket empty-handed, and Ji Guoqiu passed the ball directly into the three-second zone.

When Garnett is on the field, that pair of perverted long arms can greatly interfere with Ji Guoqiu's passing, reducing the threat of Panda Hero's high-level strategy by half. Now there is less Wolf King. Scala. Brian's influence on Ji Guoqiu is almost insignificant, and this ball of Panda Hero is very easy. Brand catches the basketball under the basket, and with his ability there are a hundred ways to get the basketball into the basket at the moment. The old captain used the most labor-saving method, first shook the big baby with a feint, easily jumped under the basket, and dunked the ball in with one hand!

Brand deliberately jumped under the basket to dunk the ball, which is a testament to his athleticism, and with his skills, he is still the All-Star inside!

The elder Dunleavy was also happy off the court, the better the brand table, the greater the trade value, and the old Dunleavy, who was also the team's general manager, suddenly changed his mind and decided to give Brand more playing time in these games, and instructed the team to feed the old captain more balls, so that he could brush up on a good number of jΓΉ, so that the team could sell it for a good price.

Brand proved his worth to his future club today, catching Davis, a seemingly shorter insider, and shooting in the low post and mid-range in the second half of the first quarter. As he said in interviews when he was injured before, playing with the twins makes his job a lot easier, and sometimes catching and shooting is fine.

The Celtics fans of "TD North Shore Garden" were still yelling at the twin brothers when Garnett was off the court, but at this time, under Brand's consecutive hits, it became more and more silent. They never dreamed that the Clippers, who they thought were not difficult to deal with, would actually press them on their home court?

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 26:19, and the Celtics surprised everyone, trailing the Clippers by seven points in the first quarter.

Ji Guoqiu got 4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, Ji Guoyi had 2 points and 1 rebound, Brand had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, and Artest had 6 points.

For the Celtics, Garnett had 2 points and 2 rebounds, and Paul had 2 points. Pierce had 7 points, rebounds and 1 assist, Ray Allen had 6 points, and Al Lee. Thornton 4 points.

The feat of veteran captain Brand scoring 10 points in a single quarter in the first game of his comeback, in addition to his own excellent form, was also because the Celtics' interior bench was too poor and did not interfere with him too much. The Green Shirts' starting line can be said to be flawless, but their bench is mediocre.

In the second quarter, Coach Rivers replaced Garnett at the beginning, and the Celtics lineup became: Eddie. House, Tony. Aaron, Al. Thorton, Glenn. Davis, Kevin. Garnett.

The elder Dunleavy also replaced Ji Guoyi on the court, and the Clippers lineup: Black Parker, James. Posey, Garcia, Elton. Brand, Ji Guosha.

The Clippers' lineup once again caught Rivers off guard, and it stands to reason that a player who has just returned from a serious injury will have to be replaced after playing for five minutes at most, which is for the sake of the player's body, and he will play for a long time without playing for a long time, especially in the face of a league leader like the Celtics, the chance of injury again is very high.

The elder Dunleavy said that he would not be his own player soon, anyway, so what could he do?

Elton. Brand did want to play a little more before the game, but now that the elder Dunleavy really let him play all the time, he was unhappy. The old captain is not stupid, and the old Dunleavy made such a move to make up his mind to trade him in the short term. Brand said in his heart that he still has some feelings for the Clippers, and he is not ready to leave this season, he wants to fulfill his contract with the Clippers and then test the free market.

Old Dunleavy said, do you still want to test the waters? Lao Tzu's ship is a black ship, don't think about it so easy to go down when you come up!

In the second quarter, Garnett came up and singled Ji Guosha in the low post, hitting his signature turnaround jumper to score his fourth point.

In the second quarter, the Clippers didn't have the two brothers on the floor at the same time, so the defense continued to play and mark.

Ji Guoyi plays center, but on the offensive end, he pulls to the outside to shoot three-pointers, which is Nowitzki's style of play.

Garnett is very unhappy with this, and if he defends it, the team's interior defense will become empty again. Today, Brand's lethality in the low position is much stronger than Ji Guoqiu's small hook hand, Brand can be regarded as proficient in eighteen martial arts in the low position, and the big baby can't prevent the strength at all, which is not inferior to him, but the flexibility and explosiveness are much stronger than him, and at the same time he has a pair of old captains with perverted arms.

Then again, Elton. Brand is actually 28 years old, far from old age, and should be in his prime.

Garnett is also not old, and his bounce power has decreased, but the strength of the wolf king has not decreased much, and he once again singled Ji Guo on the offensive end.

In the second quarter, Garnett controlled his own feelings, and chose not to talk trash with Ji Guoyi, but instead used his actions to let him know that he was powerful. In this way, the little fox has no choice, if he doesn't play some tricks, he is not Garnett's opponent at all, and he is much worse than the wolf king in terms of skill and experience. Just like his brother Ji Guoqiu couldn't use it when he met Duncan, he also had excellent athleticism, but he was continuously eaten by Garnett's simple back-to-back shooting and low-post strong attack.

The elder Dunleavy couldn't stand it later, so he asked Ji Guoyi and Brand to switch defenses. The old captain is a little shorter, but his experience, defensive skills, and reach can all affect Garnett, at least much better than Ji Guoyi.

At 6 minutes and 50 seconds in the second quarter, the elder Dunleavy replaced Brand, who was a little lacking in body, and replaced Ji Guoqiu again, and the twins appeared on the court at the same time again.

Elton. Brand played a fast quarter, scoring 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 assist on the offensive end, which was quite good, and he also had some limitations on Garnett on the defensive end. Of course, it is impossible for the old captain to restrain the wolf king, but at least let Garnett not do as much as he wants when Ji Guoyi was defending.

The Pistons' manager and the Nets' manager are watching the Clippers game at the moment, and the two teams that Dunleavy Sr. is primarily in contact with. Jason. Kidd has been looking to join a championship-competitive team this season, and the Nets can't keep the current triple-double title. The Pistons, on the other hand, already have the idea of rebuilding, and the Pistons Five Tigers have now become the Four Tigers, and it is their intention to seek an expiring contract. However, Motor City has a good season and wants to fight for the last game in the playoffs, so the proposed trade is too demanding. In addition to asking for Brand, they even want the Clippers' draft pick, which is a bit of a lion's mouth. (To be continued)
