Chapter 320: It Doesn't Feel Good
"Bang!"
Shocking the big hat, Chen Mu flew up, like a huge net covering the entire sky, completely sealing Garnett's shooting route.
And after the block was replayed in slow motion this time, fans found that Chen Mu only started jumping when Garnett made a shot. The advantages of his amazing speed have been shown in all directions, and Garnett, an inside star of this level, has actually fallen in love with Chen Mu.
The basketball shot, Chen Mu flew up, the last shot came first, his right hand slapped hard, the ball was hit the rebound, and a rebound flew to the outside.
Lowry!
Before Chen Mu landed, Lowry, who was stealed by Rondo, had already flown to save the ball, a little in the air, the basketball did not fly out of bounds, Iguodala roared, and after winning the ball, he turned around and counterattacked.
It's ...... fast!
The Celtics players suddenly couldn't get used to it, watching Iguodala hold the ball and scoring a quick breakaway layup, and Rondo, who was chasing the fastest defense behind him, was still a few steps away from Iguodala.
These boys, they're so fast!
Accompanied the Celtics to play a slow half-court offense, and at this moment, the 76ers' overall young advantage began to be brought into play. Whether it is the pegboard hat that Chen Mu followed, or Lowry's alert flying save, or Iguodala's quick layup at the end, the speed was so fast that the camera could barely keep up.
The Celtics' outside Rondo is quite fast, on par with Lowry, but apart from him, the speed of other players is not a strong point.
Ray Allen's speed is not bad, but it is still a little weaker than the 76ers' speeding sports cars. Pierce has never been a speed maniac, Garnett's speed is at a very high level in the inner line, but now the opponent he is facing is Chen Mu, and no one in the league can beat the Chinese kid in the internal line. Naturally, the speed advantage is gone.
As for Perkins, not to mention, strength and back-to-back defense are Perkins' strengths, and speed is his natural enemy.
Wind, thunder, lightning, fire!
The speed of the 76ers' counterattack was terrifying, and the whole team suddenly seemed to have turned on the TURBO switch, and both offensive and defensive ends began to accelerate. The instant acceleration of the game made the Celtics players very uncomfortable, and they were actually beaten 7-0 at the beginning of the third quarter.
The difference narrowed from 17 points to 10 points in an instant. And the third quarter has just passed just over a minute.
chased 7 points in more than 1 minute, is this still the 76ers with obvious injuries on the offensive end in people's impressions?
The fans were surprised, the commentators were puzzled, and the DJs didn't understand what was going on, only the Celtics players knew that it all started with Garnett's three misses.
Two step-back jumpers, a fast-offensive dunk that was bound to be slammed away by Chen Mu's hat, what happened to Garnett?
"It's weird. Garnett seems to be a little wrong in the third quarter! "Yoga is also full of questions in the broadcast room.
"Hehe, if you take a closer look at Garnett's shots and scoring points in the first half, the reason is actually very simple."
Mr. Su is an expert, and what he does is to explain the details of the court, so he naturally reacts faster at this time, and he understands the reason at once.
With Mr. Su's words, Garnett's shooting and shot distribution map in the first half was displayed in the corner of the screen.
As soon as this picture came out, many fans said "oh" in front of the TV. I understand why.
Garnett so far, all scored. It's all under the basket.
"You see, Garnett has made five shots from mid-range so far today, all of them. There are two reasons for this, and I analyze two aspects. First, in order to defend Chen Mu, Garnett used more energy on the defensive end today, constantly fighting with Chen Mu. Everybody knows that. It's completely different from the hard work when you're defending and when you're attacking, especially when you're shooting. â
Mr. Su explained with the shot distribution map: "To defend a basket kaleidoscope like Chen Mu, what you need is to push him out of the penalty area with strength, and then cooperate with your teammates to complete the local package." This kind of thing is not Garnett's forte. What he's good at is cruising around to make up for defense, disrupting the opponent's overall offense with his long arms and reflexes and bounces. This kind of thing of locking up the opponent's back is better than Duncan, and even Perkins will be more suitable than Garnett in the team. â
"It's not that Garnett's defense is bad, Garnett's defense is historic, of course, it's a deep foundation. But there is a specialization in the art industry, and even during the MVP period of the Timberwolves, Garnett was never the first choice to defend the opponent's back. You can see the characteristics of Garnett's defense if you look at the interior line he has partnered with. â
"Olovokandi, Mark Madsen, Ervin Johnson, Nestrovich, these are the centers Garnett has partnered with, and they are all strong players in one-on-one defense. And when was the Timberwolves' worst defensive season? It was last season. Who was Garnett's inside partner last season? Mark Blunt, 7 feet tall, is a mid-range and three-point shooter. â
To sum up, Garnett's defense has its own system, and this system needs a good back-to-back defender who can stand under the basket to share and maintain together. Now that the Celtics are starting with Perkins, it's the same thing. â
Teacher Su continued: "Today, Chen Mu is very difficult for the Celtics to do. Use Perkins to defend, the speed is too slow, Chen Mu passed in one step. Use Garnett to defend, the effect is good, but Garnett's biggest advantage, that is, the ability to make up for defense around the clock, has been abolished by half. â
As a result, the current situation was created, Chen Mu was basically locked up, but Korver was furious. If it weren't for the poor hand, Lowry and Iguodala would have had a slightly more reliable mid-range shot, and the Celtics would have had more trouble defensively. The overall speed of the 76ers is too fast now, and if I am not mistaken, the 76ers may continue to speed up in the future. â
"You're right, everyone sees, the 76ers attacked, and Chen Mu held the ball...... Nice transfer, can Iguodala score a three-pointer...... Entered! Iguodala scored three points! 7 points gap, Celtic shouted stop!! "Yoga exploded at a great speed, and with the pictures on the field, the people who listened to it were enthusiastic.
"And then there's the offense." Teacher Su put on a look that everything was expected, and said with a smile: "Garnett defended Chen Mu in a way that he was not used to, and the effect was great. It proves that his defensive prowess is truly incredible. But it also completely disrupted his own power habits and rhythm, resulting in his inconsistent mid-to-long range shooting, which is one of the reasons I just said. â
"And what about the second reason?" Yoga knew that if he didn't let Mr. Su finish saying this, this guy wouldn't give up, and the game was suspended anyway. Just ask.
"The second reason is very simple." Teacher Su sneered a few times and said, "Garnett didn't feel good today. â
Garnett didn't feel good today.
Yes, after the timeout, without Reeves and other teammates saying more, Garnett himself understood why.
It's a bad hand, and that's a situation that any NBA player, or any basketball player, can have. As a superstar, Garnett's bad hand is relatively rare, and he is less likely to score explosively. At the same time, it is unlikely that it will feel extremely cold to the touch. But today, it seems that he ran into it.
"Kevin ......"
Ray Allen was about to say something, but Garnett stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"I don't have a good hand, don't pass the ball to me, if I get the ball and you and Paul run more, I'll pass the ball." Garnett's face was gloomy and scary.
Victory maniacs like Garnett have to admit that the poor situation in the game is self-inflicted. It's a very difficult thing to do. But for the sake of the team, for the sake of victory. Garnett said so anyway, and did so.
This season is the best chance, although we can still have a few years of peak, but this season is undoubtedly the best time to win the championship......!
Garnett knew very well that he was under pressure. I left Minnesota, which I had fought for many years, and came to Boston for.
Champions, shiny rings, without it, everything is empty talk.
MVPïŒ Rebounding king? DPOY that is said to have a good chance this year? A precaution?
These are individual accolades for a player of Garnett's level. It's already a floating cloud. Only the champion is everything!
I can do anything for the championship......!
From the moment he arrived at Celtic, Garnett was determined to give everything for victory.
Whether it's the regular season, the playoffs, or even the preseason, exhibition games, business games, and intra-team warm-up games, Garnett doesn't want to lose. Victory maniacs are like that, paranoid, arrogant, desperate, willing to give everything, just for the joy and tears of the moment of victory.
In this league, there are many people who play for data, many people who play for contracts, and countless people who play for money, exposure, women, and fame. Only guys like himself, Kobe, Iverson, Jordan, and even Russell, the soul of the Green Army, are the ones who really play for victory.
Nothing is discardable for the sake of victory. Can't score a goal by being defended by a Chinese kid? Let the media say so! I don't care!
Thinking so, Garnett couldn't help but look back at the 76ers bench on the other side of the court.
Chen Mu, a Chinese kid.
This kid is also a victory maniac, is he responsible for the current situation?
Now his stats are even more ugly than his own, and with such a young player, doesn't he have a little thirst for stats? There must be!
But in order to win, the Chinese kid is still making the most reasonable choice again and again, in order to win, he can carry the team forward by himself, or he can retreat behind the scenes to grab rebounds, steal blocks, send assists, and do everything that can help the team.
Such an opponent is worthy of defeating him face-to-face......!
Reeves's tactics are arranged, and it is nothing more than to stabilize the rhythm and fight positional warfare. At the end of the timeout, Garnett took the lead in getting up from his seat and walking to the court.
"This guy is always so serious." Pierce smiled, chewed on a mouthful of gum, and beckoned his teammates to get up and walk onto the pitch together.
Smoke fills the air. (To be continued......)
PS: It seems that everyone's draft selection of Billikin is really resentful! Well, it's even more determined to kick this guy out!
Rest assured, XD will be dealt with soon
