Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Pierce smiled when he saw Lian Feng's provocation, and was not as angry as Lian Feng imagined.

In the next round, the Celtics again served.

Celtics offense.

It has to be said that although the Hornets are already top-notch on the offensive end, their performance on the defensive end is still not up to par.

Of course, Lian Feng can constantly limit Pierce's singles, and even if it doesn't work well, it can make his offense uncomfortable.

But basketball is a sport for five people after all, and Adelman has never been a good player defensively. In previous games this season, the Hornets relied on their strong offensive capabilities to destroy their opponents.

But at this time, when encountering such a restrained team defense from the Celtics, if one's own defense cannot restrain the opponent, this game will be completely at a disadvantage.

Although Lian Feng clearly knew this, he didn't know how to get out of the current predicament.

Pierce can find a way to attack the basket, but the team's inside line must be wary of Garnett's big jump shot and cannot help defend the basket all the time. What's more, there is a killer Ray Allen outside who is always looking at him with cold eyes.

Eyeing the Hornets' weaknesses.

The three areas inside and outside have terrifying lethality.

So, the Hornets suddenly collapsed without warning.

Lian Feng struggled with Pierce desperately, but that devil Rondo always understood the situation and put the ball in the hands of a more suitable person.

First, Garnett hit two mid-range shots. Then when everyone turned their attention to Garnett, Ray Allen was like a poisonous snake, hiding on both sides of the baseline to catch the ball, and hit three consecutive shots.

Score three points.

On the other hand, for the Hornets, Lien finally got a singles opportunity. He passed the mediocre Pierce in one step, got to the basket in two steps, and scored the ball with a graceful pull rod.

But that's all.

No matter where he receives the ball, Garnett will find the right opportunity to double attack.

Rather than being flanked every time, the forward has an angle to pass the ball to an open teammate.

At this time, the ball passed out after two rounds of transmission, and Garnett returned to his original defensive position.

Lian Feng had to marvel at Garnett's terrifying defensive area.

He really single-handedly supported the team's defensive system!

The offensive routine that was always going good at the beginning of the season suddenly failed, which was like a blow to other players, so everyone played a little hastily, and the more this happens, the more mistakes will be made.

Tyson Chandler missed the ball twice and David West missed one.

Under the circumstances, with 6 minutes left in the second quarter, the Celtics were already leading by 18 points!

Looking at the situation on the court, Adelman, who had always looked serious, called a timeout.

The starting player was replaced by a substitute.

Just as Bobby Jackson and Desmond Mason led the second unit in rotation, Adelman began to calmly analyze the situation on the court.

"This is a tough battle! Listen guys, we encountered some troubles, but it's not important. We calm down and reduce our mistakes! We can win 15 consecutive games!"

After a pause, Adelman looked at Lian Feng and said, "Tell me how you feel, Lian."

After hearing Adelman's words, Lian Feng wiped his sweat, organized some words, and then said seriously: "I do have an idea, but it is not a mature strategy."

"Although there is a little problem with our offense, it is not a big problem. Our real problem lies in our defense."

Everyone knows this.

Lian Feng continued: "The efficiency of defending like this now is too low... I think we might be able to do this..."

After a detailed explanation, Adelman frowned and glanced at everyone.

Paul said: "I think we can try the Lian Feng method."

But at this moment, the substitute players on the field brought a surprise to the team.

Because both sides were on the bench, when the Celtics' giants went down, they were suddenly beaten by the Hornets' second team with a 9-0 spurt, and the score was instantly within 10 points.

Seeing this scene, the main players off the field cheered for their teammates on the field.

Lian Feng felt happy.

The addition of Korver and Gasol is great, and the depth of the team's lineup is suddenly guaranteed. It can be said that even the Hornets' second team is as strong as the starting team of the mid-to-lower teams.

It's an arm-wrestling moment.

However, looking back at the Celtics, in order to gather the Big Three, the Celtics used too many chips, leaving them without anyone on the bench who could do anything.

If Lian Feng remembers correctly, mid-to-late this season, they traded for 37-year-old veteran big man P.J. Brown and Garnett's old partner Sam Cassell, and they truly completed their complete evolution.

At this time, the Celtics' second unit could only be pinned to the ground and rubbed by the Hornets' second unit.

The Hornets' system can play smoothly again.

Desmond Mason and Bobby Jackson are both very fast and have outstanding awareness. They can always slide the baseline and open the backdoor successfully. Gasol stands at the top of the arc and every pass is extremely accurate and he can always pass the ball to the right place.

position.

Passing is also a talent, and it is a rarer talent than running and jumping!

Lian Feng nodded with satisfaction, Gasol's progress was faster than he imagined.

Therefore, before the start of the second quarter, the Hornets' substitutes chased the score to 6 points.

Lian Feng raised his head and glanced at the scorer above his head. The number displayed on it was 41 to 47. Neither side scored many points, which shows how intense this game was.

During the halftime break, Lian Feng was invited to connect with TNT's studio.

As soon as Lian Feng put on the headset, he heard Buckley's voice: "Man, how do you feel?"

Lian Feng could only reply: "It's not bad, because our teammates brought the score back."

Barkley said: "You only scored 6 points in the first half today. Some people say that you can only play against weak teams. What do you think of this?"

Lian Feng said nonchalantly: "When did the league start counting scores in half-time units? I have never heard of the first-half scoring leader or the first-half shooting percentage leader. The game is not about the final result, no

?”

Barkley laughed and said to Johnson next to him: "To be honest, I like this kid's confidence."

Then he asked Lian Feng: "So how many points are you planning to score in the second half?"

Lian Feng said seriously: "It doesn't matter how many points I score, what's important is that I want to win. If I can't score a point and the team can win, I will choose not to score a point. To be honest, I don't care about the data, I care about winning! But if

If I have to score 50 points to win, I will choose to score those damn 50 points!"

…

The game continued again, and to the surprise of the Celtics, the Hornets adjusted their lineup again. Korver did not play, and Desmond Mason was still on the court.

Lian Feng smiled slightly. He clearly remembered why the Celtics were dragged into the tiebreaker in the first round of 2008 when they beat the Hawks!
