Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Today's "mad dog" is undoubtedly immature.

Compared to the 16-17 season when he entered the NBA's All-Defensive First Team, his defense this season seems a bit immature.

But the immature "mad dog" is also a "mad dog". Although he played less time this season, his defensive efficiency per unit time ranked third in the team, second only to Zuo Li and Chandler, and better than Danny Green.

Beverley's defense is not entirely reflected in data. As long as he targets you, you will definitely not feel comfortable!

Besides, tonight, it was Beverly who was in a state of madness.

A head-on attack to steal Rondo in the first round is the best proof of his condition.

To be honest, Zuo Li doesn't think Beverley's current level can completely limit Rondo. These past few seasons have been the strongest years of Rondo's career. With his big brother by his side, he can unleash his offensive talents.

but!

The Knicks don't need to completely guard Rondo. They just need to make him uncomfortable, make him angry, and make him uncool. It's enough!

The Knicks' goal was achieved.

Rondo was indeed very angry. He was intercepted by a rookie guard he didn't like, and he was a little embarrassed.

So in the second round, Rondo, who was supposed to call a pick-and-roll, did not choose to do so. Instead, he chose to hold the ball by himself, preparing to regain face.

Then...he saw Beverley stomping and taking three big steps back. As he stepped back, he shouted to the left and right spectators: "He doesn't have a basket! He doesn't have a basket! He can't make a shot at all!"

Murder and heart-wrenching.

Rondo's face turned dark and he wanted to hit this mad dog in the face with a three-pointer!

But he still has reason and knows that the opening is not a place for him to do anything casually.

But then, Spike Lee, who was sitting nearby, provided a divine assist!

"Yes, yes! You are so right! He will never be able to cum in his life! It's too bad for my brother!"

As we all know, Spike Lee is a foul-mouthed king. Whoever comes to Madison in the league will inevitably be mouthed by him. With Spike Lee's iconic funny actions, everyone around him laughs. Looking at Rondo's expression, he is filled with laughter.

Sympathy... and schadenfreude.

Rondo was instantly angry!

Bao Gong turned into Guan Gong and burned himself directly with the red temperature.

"Fuck you!"

Pull it out in place!

With an unyielding roar, with confidence in one's abilities!

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and accurately got stuck on the neck of the basket...

Rivers: "..."

Green Army fans: "..."

Pierce, Garnett, Ray Allen, etc.: "I really admire you, the old guy! You voted for your sister!"

Rondo: "!!!@##&=:!aa"

"Hahahaha, in a sense, Rondo's shot is pretty accurate." Barkley patted the table and laughed.

"You still have to practice..." Zuo Li jumped slightly and pulled the ball down, expressing sympathy for Rondo's experience.

Beverley's "hatefulness" has just begun... Otherwise, Paul from the same team will want to beat him up in the future.

However, this is not completely useless, at least it alleviates the tense atmosphere. The most intuitive manifestation is that Chandler, who averages 31% three-point shooting rate per game, threw in the first three-pointer!

5-0, the Knicks had a dream start.

Then it became more dreamy.

Rondo dribbled the ball and passed the ball under Beverley's entanglement. The quality was not high. Pierce was unable to turn around after receiving the ball and was forced to the baseline by Chandler.

I didn't stop for a step and was knocked off the line.

Another mistake!

The Knicks didn't waste the opportunity. The left winger passed in, and Randolph hit Rasheed Wallace hard!

7-0!

"The Knicks' defense was too fierce tonight! Beverley, who was attacked by the outside world, seemed to want to prove himself very much!" Director Zhang said.

Rivers resisted calling a timeout, but Pierce couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed Rondo and told him: "You have to calm down. If you don't want to go back to Boston to fish in despair, you need to calm down and ignore that lunatic. He is

I want to piss you off!"

Rondo took three deep breaths and finally calmed himself down: "I understand, I will!"

This time, Rondo turned a deaf ear to the trash talk Beverley spewed in his ears, but Beverley didn't care. Trash talk was just one of his defensive methods, and he still relied on crazy defense to gain a foothold.

Rondo accelerated, but Beverley could keep up. The moment Rondo took the ball from the baseline, Beverley followed him to his own three-point line. During this period, he bypassed two pick-and-rolls and just stayed close to Rondo.

.

"Damn, this guy is not afraid of not having enough physical strength!" Although Rondo did not lose the ball again, Rondo could clearly feel the pressure brought by Beverley.

He led the entire defense for two consecutive rounds. This guy is really crazy!

But the effect is immediate!

Rondo still couldn't play the ball at will, and Pierce, who received the ball, once again had to fall into singles. Although he finally scored and opened the scoring for the Celtics, it was obvious that the process was very difficult, and Zuo Li almost blocked it.

"It just makes you uncomfortable!" Zuo Li said after rewriting the score to 9-2.

Rivers finally called a timeout. He had to solve the problem of Rondo's discomfort.

The Knicks' performance also surprised the commentators.

Yu Jiajiu and Director Zhang said, "It looks promising for Zuo Li to break the curse."

"That's true. Beverley knew his shame and then acted bravely. He defended so well that he caught the Celtics off guard. I didn't expect that if he could perform like this next, the Celtics would

It’s very difficult.” Director Zhang said.

"However, there will be a problem. He has too many defensive players in the backcourt, and the offense can only rely on Zuoli and Randolph."

This is exactly what the Celtics are targeting.

After the timeout, they began to attack Zuo Li harshly again. If you don't beat Long, I will let Perkins, Pierce, and Garnett take turns to attack you. They can be as harsh as they can. If it's a big deal, it will be a foul!

This move caused both sides to grind for three minutes without scoring a single point. Both sides got 5 rebounds, and for a while the sound of iron was heard one after another.

After half a quarter, 14-7.

"Stern must be having a headache." Fans who experienced the 2005 Finals are now secretly laughing. This scene is so similar to the Spurs vs. Pistons.

But in fact, the ratings of this game were much higher than that one, and although the score was low, the scene was very intense.

Moreover, after the official suspension, the situation improved immediately!

Curry, Beverley, and Danny Green partnered on the outside, and David Lee joined on the left inside.

The Knicks' offensive attributes are suddenly full.

With Curry and Danny Green hitting two three-pointers, and David Lee making a tip-in from the inside, the Celtics no longer dared to flank Zuo Li at will.

And Rondo's problem is still unresolved!

In the first quarter, Rondo only had 2 points, 1 assist, and 2 turnovers. Although Beverley had 0 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists, no one dared to ignore his role.

28-18 in a single quarter, the Knicks lead by 10 points!

In the second quarter, Rondo, who struggled with Beverley, could not stop the Knicks from launching a 10-4 attack wave, 50-31 at halftime!

"The Knicks are really close to victory!"
