Guard With a Knife

Snoopy's performance in the first three quarters was mediocre. He scored 15 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks on 5 of 13 shots, which was somewhat different from his superb performance in the first round against the Cavaliers. bookmark our website

Earl Johnson believes that the reason for this result is that the Boston Celtics' defensive quality is much higher than that of the Cavaliers, especially in terms of concentration.

At the same time, he also encouraged Snoopy to further strengthen his offensive training in the summer, especially in terms of scoring methods.

In fact, this is why so many basketball commentators think Reggie Miller's TOP15 argument is not fair enough. In the NBA commentary circle, it seems that outside players must have super personal scoring ability to be called superstars. Snoopy's scoring ability can only barely pass, and his perimeter defensive ability is far below average. Guards who only rely on the defense of the inside and the ability to break through the wings, they usually have a discriminatory look.

And for this, Charles Barkley sneered anyway. He even grandly declared: "Go to the top 15 first-line star in the league, Snoopy is the top 10 superstar in the league!!"

Regarding Sir Barkley's arguments, those commentators were obviously automatically blocked.

After all, Sir Barkley is wearing a banner that says 'Super Diehard Duke Fan'.

beep!

The timeout between quarters quickly passed, and the game resumed in the fourth quarter.

Sure enough, Eddy Curry and Stephon Marbury, who had tried their best in the third quarter, returned to the bench. Since these two garbage contracts with a reputation for cancer have met Snoopy, more and more people have taken their existence seriously. Any home team fan evaluating the Chicago-New York deal right now would describe the Knicks staff as stupid.

Because, they got nothing in that deal. Instead, it gave away the future of the team and three crucial pieces of the jigsaw puzzle for a strong team. Eddie Curry, Stephon Marbury and James Johnson have become the most important part of the Bulls' bench. Now they are not rubbish contracts that cannot be thrown away. They jump to the free market, and some teams offer them offers.

"Without the offensive output of Eddie Curry and Stephon Marbury, it is difficult for the Bulls to hope for a comeback in this game."

Earl Johnson said a little disappointed.

But just after he finished speaking, Snoopy took the ball and cut straight into the paint from the left side of the free throw line. foul.

Swish!

Swish!

Made two free throws.

Tony Allen had wonderful defenses against Snoopy in the second and third quarters of the game. His active and fierce pressing made Snoopy's throwing success rate drop rapidly.

But entering the fourth quarter, the Duke obviously changed his style of play. Especially when Eddie Curry and Stephen Marbury's two offensive outputs are off the court. He has to step up on a team that includes Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, James Johnson and Jerome Pargo.

He let Pargo hold the ball across the half court, and then stuck his back at the free throw line, directly crushing the short Tony Allen with his breakthrough and strength.

He didn't plan to try another jumper.

If you can't guarantee the hit rate, then simply rush into the paint to fight. Bostonians have a reputation for being tough, but I'm not bad either!

After changing sides to fight again, the Bulls' four forwards directly opened up the front line. They unfolded in a strange dynamic defense posture: Snoopy stood in the penalty area, Joakim Noah was in the center to help defend, James Johnson and Taj Gibson split. Guard the wings.

Pargo is not good at defense. His only task is to drive Lagalondo to the bottom line on the left side when he breaks through with the ball, and flank James Johnson, forcing him to go deep into the penalty area and single out Snoopy's defense.

boom!

When Ray Allen opened the fourth quarter, he missed his first three-pointer.

The Bulls launched a strong counterattack,

Snoopy, who picked up the rebound at the basket, drove straight in with the ball. He cut in from the top of the arc, forced to break through the defense of Pierce and Tony Allen at the free throw line, attracted double-teams and quickly passed the ball to Ty Gibson on the outside.

Taj Gibson received the basketball, made a decisive decision, and threw it directly... Bang!

Hit the board and put it in the basket!

Quite a bit of Tim Duncan style.

This made the wolf king extremely angry, he bent down and patted the floor vigorously, and let out a deep roar.

Obviously, he couldn't bear the situation where the team was overtaken by the opponent at the beginning of the game.

So, back to after halftime. He took the ball directly from Rondo at the free throw line. His attitude is very clear, that is, he wants to beat Joakim Noah, who has already been fouled five times.

However, when he showed a wave of sophisticated back-and-back moves, he could have used a classic iron-blooded jumper to solve the battle. He didn't do that, but paused for a moment, made a fake shot, and nodded deliberately with his shoulders raised.

But... Joakim Noah didn't take off.

and.

boom!

His hands trembled, and the huge numbness made him lose control of the basketball in an instant. When he took a closer look, Snoopy had already grabbed his basketball and rushed to the frontcourt.

And, when he rushed to the frontcourt, Pierce, who followed up, could only hug him by the waist and block his dunk with a foul.

Swish!

Swish!

Another two points.

The wolf king with green blood was a bit clever but was mistaken by his cleverness.

His eyes were wide open and his nostrils were tight.

It was obvious that he wanted to lose his temper.

However, I couldn't find the object.

So, he beat his chest hard and told his teammates: "Focus!!"

His toughness once again cheered the North Shore Garden Arena.

Boston fans love it, and it sounds like they're sensitive to 'percussion'.

Looking back, Paul Pierce scored with a jumper from midrange.

But looking back, Snoopy rushed into the penalty area again, and he collided fiercely with Perkins in the air. Perkins was knocked over by the Duke... and then the referee blew his whistle.

He gave Perkins a defensive foul.

This made the boos at the North Shore Garden Arena reach their peak in an instant.

Bostonians do not accept such a penalty.

However, they couldn't change the fact that Perkins also got his fifth foul and Snoopy went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Rasheed Wallace stepped in to replace Perkins before Snoopy executed his second free throw. Doc Rivers couldn't be as sharp as the Chicagoans, throwing Joakim Noah with five fouls in the paint and continued to be used as a target.

Of course, the presence of Rasheed Wallace also means that the Boston Celtics have two tweeters at the same time.

Mr. Wallace's accomplishments in roaring have been unanimously recognized by all referees. He has repeatedly topped the league's technical foul list in a single season.

Today, although the age is increasing day by day, the hobby has never been put aside.

He roared in his fifteenth second on the field.

At that time, he received a wonderful pass from Pierce from the bottom line. Originally, he wanted to use his signature straight-arm three-pointer to end the battle. But when he saw Jojinoah leaping towards him, he immediately dismissed the idea.

He hurried up a little.

Taking advantage of Jojinoah's unsteady foothold, he immediately got close to him, looking back...

Just about to get under Noah's ribs and make a foul.

dig! !

Snoo sneaked like a ghost, hiding behind Joakinoah, he directly took Rasheed Wallace's basketball away with a quick hand.

This shocked Rasheed Wallace, and immediately shouted: "Is this not a foul??"

The referee ignored him at all.

At the same time, Snoopy has assisted Ty Gibson in the frontcourt to complete an easy layup.

Less than two and a half minutes into the game, the Bulls, who were thought to be about to face a major defeat, succeeded in counterattacking again and again, quickly expanding the point difference and going straight to double digits.

This fell through the glasses of the TNT commentary booth.

Earl Johnson quickly woke up and took out his thumb: "Snoopy is using Joakim Noah as a bait! He took advantage of the Celtics' eagerness to get Noah out of the game, and succeeded in two consecutive sneak attacks !!"

When a commentator figured it out, Boston's coaching staff quickly woke up.

They quickly changed tactics. The two tweeters no longer singled out Joakim Noah with the ball, even though he has five fouls and looks like a scar that has just scabbed over, and people can't help but want to tear it off.

As Boston transferred the offensive initiative from the inside to the outside, the Celtics gradually stabilized the situation. Pierce's jumper is like a pinnacle, and Ray Allen also hits the throw after the air cut one after another... His skills are not just three-pointers. When the three-pointer is misfired, he can still score it in other ways.

Correspondingly, Chicago still can only rely on Snoopy to continuously launch suicide attacks from both sides of the free throw line. He continues to penetrate deep into the paint area and use confrontation to create gaps in free throws or passes.

But as the Celtics strengthened their control of the paint, the hit rate gradually declined.

When the game progressed to the seventh minute.

Joakim Noah finally got his final foul of the game on Pierce, who swayed Johnson away from the free throw line with a classic sikma step, then hopped straight into the paint and blew up... At this time, the Bulls' lead was only 1 point. If Pierce is allowed to hit dunks, the momentum of the Celtics will be ignited directly.

So Joakinoah, who was closest to Pierce, chose to foul.

He jumped up, hugged Pierce, who was already unstoppable, and pulled him down from the air.

beep!

No surprises.

The referee blew his whistle.

Joakim Noah goes off.

With 11 points, 15 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal, 1 technical offense and 3 turnovers.

Kevin Garnett slapped his hands on purpose as he stepped off the court.

He tried in vain to anger Joakim Noah.

But Joakim Noah counterattacked on the spot: "You are like the male protagonist in those Japanese pornographic movies. You only know how to use your tongue and fingers to do intrusion."

"Soft! Try-Me!"

Jojinoah had no respect for the wolf king, he raised his head and walked to the bench.

When he was off, the Bulls replaced the long-rested Luol Deng.

Get ready for the final battle!!

boom!

Swish!

Paul Pierce's two free throws brought the two sides back to the same starting line.

At this time, there are less than five minutes of game time before the end of the game.

The two sides tied 82:82.

"I didn't expect Chicago to play to this extent with a broken lineup. Although Boston made some small mistakes at the beginning of the fourth quarter, overall, they played well enough tonight."

Earl Johnson emphasized: "No matter what the result is, Snoopy has proved that he has the strength of the league's TOP15. Although he does not seem to have so many gorgeous offensive skills. But if you want me to choose the last moment to launch the ball attack Man, Snoopy's name must be in the top five of my list... no, top three!"

"Mr. Johnson, the thing I have to remind you is that although Snoopy only hit 2 lore shots in the regular season this season. But in his rookie season, he is the NBA lore king!!"

Charles Barkley vowed: "Just wait and see. If the Chicago Bulls drag the game into the countdown period, the Bostonians must be dead!!"

He was terribly assertive about something that hadn't yet happened.

This confidence stems from Snoopy's stellar record in the past.

On this point, even the hardcore Duke Black of Bill Simmons cannot refute.

In fact, as Boston's most famous fan, he is sitting shivering in the stands on the second floor of North Shore Gardens. He is not as optimistic as other fans, he is really afraid that the two sides will continue to be so stalemate. As Barkley said, if... If it really hits the countdown, the Celtics are very likely to lose the most precious first home game.

This is undoubtedly a huge disaster for the Celtics fans who are looking forward to revenge in the whole city.

And the game is still going on.

Luol Deng's playing from the wing changed the Bulls' offensive ecology.

His first score was an emergency stop jumper with the ball over Ray Allen's head.

The 2004 lottery pick is not for nothing. He once shined in the 2007 elimination of Miami.

In fact, in the summer of 2007, Kobe Bryant was only one step away from joining Chicago. If the Lakers didn't propose to include Luol Deng in the trading chip!

Bryant cast Luol Deng as a contemporary Scottie Pippen.

This shows his importance.

And that's why Snoopy kept him on the bench to let him recuperate.

Swish!

Rasheed Wallace hits a jumper in the high post.

beep!

Snoopy turned around and assisted Lol Deng who cut in from the weak side to make a foul and made two free throws.

Swish!

Ray Allen hit a jumper.

Swish!

Snoopy made a throw!

The two teams played suffocating offense and defense in the final stage, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately.

No one seems to be able to stop anyone.

This made the atmosphere in the North Shore Garden Arena extremely depressing. They, who had been able to yell wantonly before, didn't even yell out in defense, but just clenched their fists, praying for the Big Three to show their power.

However, that's how time moves forward.

until the 35th second.

Swish!

Ray Allen hit a three-pointer.

It was only then that the point difference was finally widened to 3 points.
