Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

"There is no doubt that this game is the first game that the Hornets have encountered this season that is not easy to win! The Celtics are a tough opponent. What method do you think they will use if they win?

"

"Yeah, it's going to be a tough game for the Hornets, but also for the Celtics. I think the Hornets have a better offense and the Celtics have a better defense. To be honest.

, I really don’t know how this game will end! But there is no doubt that the key to the victory of both sides lies in whether the defensive lineup with Garnett as the core can limit the Hornets’ flexible and brisk offense!”

The two commentators were talking. There were less than two rounds of the game here, and the two sides were already getting into a real fight. The intensity made the audience cheer again and again.

Tyson Chandler blocked the ball and hit it out of bounds.

It's still the Celtics' possession.

Garnett served the ball out of bounds, and Pierce competed with the forward for a position in the low post.

The two refused to give in to each other.

It is unlikely that Pierce can be squeezed by the forwards. When fighting Pierce at close range, this guy feels like a fat man. In total, Pierce's body fat rate is considered high among NBA players, despite his speed.

The explosive power is not very good, but the strength is really not weak.

But Lian Feng had no intention of giving in, which made Pierce a little angry and told Lian Feng: "Go away!"

Lian Feng said angrily: "Why wasn't you the one who walked away?"

Garnett sent the ball out, and Ray Allen caught the ball. He jumped directly from the mid-range. The arc of the basketball was not high, but it hit the target.

The two sides played for a full minute before scoring 2 points.

But the fans at the scene were extremely excited and cheered loudly for Lian Feng from the sidelines.

But then, something went wrong with the Hornets' offense.

As usual, Paul organizes the offense and David West is the offensive axis of the starting lineup.

After a few rounds, the Hornets' coordination that could easily create an advantage in the past became somewhat dysfunctional... They were still able to create space, but the final offense was always destroyed.

The Hornets' several offensive attacks were frustrated, which suddenly boosted the morale of the Celtics. They launched several counterattacks and the score suddenly reached 2-8.

A rare start to the season at a disadvantage!

Lian Feng frowned, he already realized what the problem was.

In these rounds, the Celtics adopted a double-teaming strategy against him, not giving him any space whether with or without the ball. It was obvious that the Celtics were extremely afraid of themselves.

If it was an opponent in the past, such a strategy would be of no use, because if you double-team yourself, then one of your teammates will inevitably be left empty. As long as they don't cover up in time before the ball is passed to that teammate, they will give away points.

But at this time the situation has undergone some changes.

The variable is Garnett!

If history remains unchanged, Garnett will be awarded the best defensive player this season.

And Garnett's defense is very unique.

Defensive players are generally divided into two types. One is single defense, such as Beverley and Glove Payton. A set of death coils can make opposing players feel as cold as falling into a refrigerator. They are

Targeted at enemy stars.

There is also a help-defense type, which relies on excellent awareness to fill in positions for teammates and provide blocks and steals.

However, Garnett does not belong to one of these two categories. In other words, he is both a powerful single defender and has the ultimate assist defense ability!

The feeling Garnett gave Lian Feng was that this guy was really everywhere.

He is a typical player who can defend from one to five. Any single player will have a difficult time playing in front of him.

However, his terrifying aspect is not only his single defense ability. He will roam around the court and appear wherever needed. He is like a nerve, connecting all parts of the team.

It is really unimaginable that the Celtics' defensive efficiency last season was at the bottom of the league, but this season they suddenly jumped to the top of the league.

The defensive ability of just one person is so powerful!

Garnett's movement speed allows him to always keep up with the ball, so the space missed by the double-team forward is perfectly filled!

Lian Feng was a little irritable.

This is not the way to go!

Fortunately, Lian Feng is not fighting alone!

At this time, Paul stood up.

In one round, Paul broke through Garnett's defense and sent a pass to Korver, who was open on the baseline. The shooter did not disappoint and withstood the pressure and made a three-pointer!

In the next round, it was Paul again. He used David West as a pivot to attract the defender's attention, cut to the basket, received the pass, and then gently passed the ball when the Celtics were defending.

Throw it up and get an alley-oop dunk by Tyson Chandler who rushes into the paint!

Lian Feng finally calmed down.

Yes, basketball is not a game played by one person!

How strong is Paul this season? If history remains unchanged, he will be the strongest point guard this season!

Why can you say this? Because Lian Feng clearly remembers that Kobe Bryant's strongest contender for MVP this season was not Garnett, but Paul. Even for several consecutive weeks, Paul ranked first in the MVP rankings!

At this time, Paul had not experienced any serious injuries, his explosive power was amazing, and his defense was also very solid with the help of his big butt. It can be said that on both ends of the offense and defense, he was the best of human beings.

With Paul sharing the burden, Lian Feng instantly felt a lot less pressure. At least when the Celtics were marking him, they no longer dared to double-team so unscrupulously.

Pierce is not a good player. He scored two goals, but Lian Feng failed to find a suitable offensive opportunity and failed to score a single point.

This round was the Celtics' attack again, and Pierce started to talk trash, "What about your offensive ability? Mr. Scoring Champion? Weren't you very good before you met the Celtics?"

Lian Feng said unceremoniously: "Do you know why we don't double-team you? Because that is the treatment that Jordan or Bird can enjoy, and you are not qualified yet."

Pierce was outraged.

He began to continuously shake Lian Feng's center of gravity, and then suddenly took a step back.

Lian Feng was already on guard. To be honest, Pierce was also an offensive kaleidoscope, but Pierce had a big disadvantage compared to Kobe or Jordan at their peak, and that was his lack of explosive power.

This makes his first step to break through almost no threat to Lian Feng.

Therefore, the Lian forward can stay very close to defend.

Although Pierce moved Lian Feng's center of gravity away, because the distance between the two was too close, even if he took a step back, he still couldn't open up much space.

To deal with other people, this space was enough to take action, but it was a pity that he was facing Lien Feng.

The moment Pierce kicked the ball, Lian Feng suddenly took a step forward and jumped on both feet.

Pierce flicked his wrist and the basketball flew out.

Then, he saw a hand suddenly appear in the middle of the connecting line between the basketball and the basket, and slapped the ball away hard.

The fans at the scene were immediately excited!

"Oh my God! God! Lian Feng's jumping ability is incredible!"

After Lian Feng landed, he gestured at his feet expressionlessly, meaning that your level is only so high.

The provocation is self-evident!
