Paul Pierce is a "type" star.

Why?

If you watch Pierce play when he was young, it may be difficult to remember what offensive choices he made in which round, and what techniques he used to shake out space to score.

What everyone remembers is just his cold-blooded key ball, his shaking head and "stinky fart" posture, the chewing gum that can never be chewed, and the broken thoughts that never stop.

Every star, regardless of the inside or outside stars, as long as they are good scorers who are biased towards offense, will definitely have their own offensive habits.

LEBRON'S TANK-STYLE STRAIGHT BREAK, IVERSON'S BUTTERFLY CROSSOVER, MADDY'S PULL-UP JUMPER, YAO MING'S TURNAROUND MID-RANGE SHOT AND SMALL HOOK, O'NEAL'S THUNDERBOLT TURN, DUNCAN'S EARLY BOARD-MAKING SHOT, AND EVEN Durant's right-side breakthrough dunk, Curry's three-point cold arrow, and Harden's foul ......

These terms and scoring methods have become the killer weapon of these stars, and the strongest weapon that will only be unsheathed at critical moments, along with their names, has been engraved in the history of basketball and remembered by fans.

Even if it is as strong as Kobe, the comprehensive scoring means are "outrageous", and he also has a soft spot for the trick of "continuously shaking and looking for space to shoot difficult shots after stopping the ball".

These stars are all first-class scoring masters.

And what about Paul Pearce?

Search your head for all the footage and information about his game, and you can't "define" him with any offensive means other than a slight preference for "step-back shots".

This is the true meaning of attacking the kaleidoscope.

In the history of the Celtics, there was also a star who knew all the offensive means on the offensive end, did not have any fixed routines when attacking, did not play cards according to common sense, and even made "ridiculous things" such as "I just want to try the crosshairs of left-handed shooting" and really scored with left-handed shooting.

The man's name was Larry Bird.

Even now, if you type the word "Bird" into a search website, you can still see fans asking "What is Larry Bird's strength?" at the top of the homepage. "Such a question.

Pierce, without a doubt, took over the mantle of Bird and became another super-scorer in the league who could not be defined on the offensive end.

The highest career season average is 26.8 points per game, and the shooting percentage is even more erratic, and the career average has not exceeded 45%, and the three-point line will be 37%.

Such a player, who is not as strong as his body, how good his bounce is, and how accurate his shooting is, has become the backbone and absolute core of the Celtics for more than ten years.

The horror of Pierce, the truth, lies in his preoccupied "decisiveness".

"Bang, bang, bang"

It's one-on-one again, and it's Pierce again, and Iguodala again.

Behind Iguodala, Chen Mu has begun to consciously adjust his defensive position, getting closer to the position where the two are located, ready to make up for the block at any time.

"Hey ......"

Glancing at Chen Mu who was staring at Iguodala behind him, Pierce chuckled, and then chewed the gum nonchalantly, as if he didn't care about the double bag that would appear at any time under the basket, he actually leaned back and began to crush under the basket.

"Did you deliberately get into the bag range......?"

Chen Mu did not hesitate, and stepped forward to pack at the moment when Iguodala put Pierce into the three-second zone, firmly jamming all of Pierce's ball options, trying to "checkmate" him in the corner of the three-second zone.

Pierce continued to dribble the ball, stumbling under Iguodala's interference, as if he could lose the ball at any moment. But the basketball was always in his hands, without the slightest flaw, and suddenly withdrew to the bottom line.

"Step back!"

Iguodala and Chen Mu reacted almost at the same time, and immediately stepped forward to press, Pierce took advantage of the situation and turned around, almost stepping on the last bit of space inside the baseline to come to the basket and make a layup.

Iguodal pulled up and jumped to interfere, Chen Mu was still on the side, and the two young defenders were not shaken at the same time.

Pierce took the ball and returned to the frame to lean back.

It's my turn!

Chen Mu thought about it and stepped forward to jump to block, but the basketball in front of him disappeared again, and after Pierce collected the ball for the second time, he restarted according to the previous route of turning to the bottom line, and hit a layup before Iguodala jumped again.

"Almost, just a little bit~"

Pierce gulped on the gum, as if he was chewing the meat of Chen Mu and Iguodala, and a look of almost cruelty appeared on his face, and he retreated.

"I can't stop ......!"

At this moment, Chen Mu and Iguodala both had such a thought in their minds.

"Even if it's a double bag, we can't guard against him!"

The movements made by Pierce are a complete set of big dream steps, although they are outside players, but this set of actions is as smooth as silk, even smoother than Chen Mu, who was ravaged enough in the virtual training camp, no matter how you look at it, it is a skill that has been practiced for a long time.

"Truth! Truth! Truth! Truth! ”

The North Shore Garden Arena was completely bursting, and the shouts of the fans were extremely piercing, and Chen Mu and Iguodala were out of breath.

Paul Pierce, what other offensive means is there that he won't ......?

"Chen, what's next!"

Miller's shout woke up the two young men who had lost from their loss, Chen Mu nodded heavily, ran to the front, and patted Iguodala on the shoulder at the end, and said loudly: "Don't think about it, get it back on the offensive end!" ”

"Hmm......? What's next...... ”

Hearing the shouts of several people, Pierce's expression changed, he became a lot more indifferent, and said to himself: "What other plans do these little ghosts have......?" ”

At this point, the score was 47-51, and the Celtics had a four-point lead, with less than a minute left in the first half.

About three minutes earlier, shortly after Pierce had come on and scored back-to-back points, Cheeks called a timeout.

"There's nothing we can do with him."

As soon as the timeout began, Cheeks uttered something dejected.

"Andre is our best perimeter defender, and we still can't defend him, even if Chen goes up to help, it is estimated that he will be pierced by his passes and feints. So, we can't guard against him. ”

After Cheeks finished speaking, the players of the 76ers were all disappointed, especially Iguodala, who had not been blown up by such a face-to-face person for a long time, and when Iguodala looked at Pierce, it was like Sun Wukong seeing Wuzhi Mountain, and there was nothing to be done.

"However, the game of basketball is not just about defense."

Grabbing the tactical board, Cheeks let out a sigh of relief and began to set it up.

"They let Pierce play Andre infinitely, and we'll retaliate!"

In Cheeks' hand, the No. 5 magnet representing Chen Mu was drawn near the Celtics' three-second zone, and the magnets of the rest of the players were distributed around the court, posing in a 2-3 position similar to a triangle attack.

"Last season, although we didn't have many ways to face the opponent's strong scoring points, we were able to survive until the end of the game, relying on Allen's personal attack to contain and fight with the opponent to score and output."

"At the beginning of this season, we lost Allen, and there was no good way to do it on the offensive end, so we briefly used methods such as point guard at the top of the arc and passing and cutting to minimize individual disadvantages and look for overall cooperation to score. But now, things have changed. ”

As he spoke, Chicks reached out and patted Chen Mu's shoulder, and said loudly: "Next, we will use one-on-one to fight their one-on-one, and continue to output!" ”

Thinking back to Cheeks' tactical arrangement, the 76ers players ran out one after another, three people on the strong side piled up, two players on the weak side played, a typical triangle offensive position, Miller had already sent the ball outside the three-point line on the strong side.

"Chen!"

Iguodala didn't hesitate, and when Pierce was still thinking about what offensive routine the 76ers would use, he stuffed the ball straight to Chen Mu.

"Eat him."

After receiving the ball, Chen Mu felt Perkins' tough defense behind him, and his mind echoed the last words that Cheeks said to himself before he went on the court.

"No matter who is against you, you have to eat him hard!"

Cheeks' eyes were like a torch, as if it had gone through a long period of psychological struggle before finally deciding to completely put this burden on Chen Mu, and continued: "Do you want to be the cornerstone of an MVP-level team? Let's start by eating every opponent......! ”

"Good!"

Behind Perkins' defense was airtight, and the difference in strength made Chen Mu almost stumble forward a few steps and lose the ball.

"Eat every opponent, if you want to become an MVP, you must at least have this level of offensive strength!"

Dribbling one step outward, Chen Mu instantly turned into a face frame, from the beginning of last season to every game to the present, the means he used to score every time he scored were quickly passed through in his mind.

Dampier, Bosh, Boozer, Murphy, even Duncan, I've scored 25 points on his head.

Chen Mu's eyes were full of fire, and in an instant, the whole person's momentum changed greatly, almost glaring at Perkins who was defending him, gritting his teeth, and suddenly dribbling and rushing towards the bottom line.

My offense is very strong......!

"Bang!"

Everyone didn't see what was going on, including Perkins, who was engrossed in defending Chen Mu, everyone only felt that the Chinese kid with the ball seemed to have suddenly changed as if he had changed the ball, and he didn't have the slightest intention of passing, so he forcibly used his speed to break through from the bottom line, and after coming to the basket, he jumped with Perkins' push, flew to the other side of the basket, and then made a pull-up dunk with one hand.

“……！！！”

The Celtics players were shocked, and the fans couldn't believe what they were seeing. Chen Mu hung on the basket and shook it for a while, then landed steadily, turned around and stretched out his hand to point to Pierce, who even forgot to chew the gum, and said:

“ONE-ON-ONE。”

After saying this, Chen Mu turned around and high-fived Iguodala, and then went back to defense. The fans and the rest of the Celtics players were stunned for a moment before they spoke disdainfully:

"What do you mean by Chinese kid? To meet Paul one-on-one? The position of the two people is not in the right place at all, isn't it a fantasy! ”

"Like, I think he has a burnt skull, one-on-one with Paul? It's just looking for abuse! ”

In the midst of the boos, only Pierce did not speak, his eyes that were not too big opened slightly, and he looked at Chen Mu's back in surprise, and only came back to his senses after a long time, chewed gum vigorously, and said to himself:

"Each one-on-one, scoring points for their own teams, to see who can't hold it first? Haha, this Chinese kid, it's kind of interesting! ”

Passing the baseline ball, Pierce strode to the frontcourt, and his mouth was still full of broken thoughts:

"Your name is Chen Mu, isn't it......? I took this gamble! (To be continued.) )
