NBA basketball rhythm monster

In the North Shore Garden Stadium the next day, Li Luo once again saw Ford, who had regained his confidence. The two smiled at each other and did not speak to each other. Sometimes the friendship between men is not talked about, and many times it is seen.

Just by looking at the other person, you already understand what the other person is thinking.

Both Li Luo and Ford knew that when facing an old friend, the best gift to him is to try his best to defeat him.

And from the beginning, the two of them did exactly that.

Today, Bucks boss Michael Reid felt that TJ Ford's desire to fight was a little too high. After the Bucks won the jump ball, the rookie point guard chose to single Atkin in the two possessions after the opening.

S.

Atkins, who is also a speedy defender, has always been able to knock anyone out defensively, while Lelo's good brother Ford is obviously the faster one. In the two Bucks offensive rounds,

He showed a good competitive level throughout. First, he passed Atkins in one step, and then, under the interference of Li Luo's defense, he made a very high arc throw, and the basketball went straight into the net.

The second time, perhaps because he thought it was too difficult to get past Li Luo, Ford simply shot a long two-pointer in one step inside the three-point line.

Come in too!

In fact, the current mid-range shooting percentage of TJ Ford is not good. Historically, in his first season, limited by his size, Ford's two-point and three-point shooting percentages were only 38.4% and 23.8 respectively.

%.

But he still voted resolutely.

Sometimes, the energy of a fighting heart is beyond your imagination. Success in the first two shots means that Ford can have a good performance today.

Li Luo's response was very straightforward. The Celtics' strong forward line made up for the losses suffered by the Celtics' defense.

Li Luo first conducted a pick-and-roll with Pierce on the outside, and after experiencing hand-offs and fake blocks, he successfully tore apart the Bucks' defense. After Li Luo broke through, he suddenly passed the ball to the outside, allowing Pierce to have it.

A good shot opening.

Of course, Pierce couldn't miss this opportunity. After taking a slight aim...

"Bang! A great three-point shot... Paul Pierce from California!"

In the Celtics' second offensive round, Li Luo intensified his bullying of the Bucks' Keith Van Horn.

Yes, that's Keith Van Horn, whom Auerbach praised as the "Second Generation Bird" in front of the media.

In order to select Lao Deng in 1997, Mr. Auerbach not only spent a lot of money on draft rights, but also exchanged a high-ranking Mavericks draft pick to ensure that he had a greater chance of winning the No. 1 pick.

.

He also publicly boasted about Keith Van Horn in front of the media, claiming titles such as the second-generation Bird and talented forward and so on, and slapped them on Van Horn's head as if they were free of charge.

Fooling, then lying, it’s still the kind of group fooling that the United Media Group uses.

But the Spurs, who got the No. 1 pick, didn't accept Auerbach's tactics at all. On the contrary, the 76ers, who got the No. 2 pick, listened to the media's campaign and selected Van Horn. But they soon discovered that this 2.08-meter forward was not

He was so suitable for strong confrontation inside that he was immediately sent to the Nets. Throughout his career, Van Horn has been a wanderer. This shows how miserable a big man's career will be if he does not have reliable defensive skills.

scene.

But you want to say that Van Horn has lost his temper? That is not appropriate. Even if Van Horn's defense does not reach the NBA average level, he still has two skills in offense. (Real data brush...

·)

His career average of 167 per game is not too bad. During his time with the Bucks, Van Horn, who mainly focused on shooting, hit 47.2% of his two-point field goals, which is quite excellent. And his three-point field goal percentage is even better.

It's amazing, 45.8%. The best among tall three-point shooters.

But this encounter with Li Luo made Van Horn feel quite uncomfortable. There was only one Joe Smith in the Bucks who was slightly threatening, but the threat was limited. Li Luo then confidently and boldly put all the defensive focus on Van Horn.

on the head.

Van Horn is not good at physical fitness and has never been able to get rid of Li Luo's entangled defense. He can't take advantage of his shooting advantage to open up space. Every shot has to go through a screen before he can force the shot. Such a hit rate is naturally unattainable.

Guaranteed. After the whole game, the Bucks' second-leading scorer made 5 of 14 shots and scored 13 points.

When the Celtics were attacking, Van Horn's life was even more difficult. For Van Horn's poor defense, Li Luo's strategy was:

Fight, just fight hard.

Every time Li Luo plays Van Horn in isolation with the ball, he can use his big butt to knock Van Horn into pieces. Basically, the routine of every attack is:

Li Luo had the ball and started to advance with his back, carrying Van Horn into the penalty area. Then he thought of another trick, either leaning back or stepping up and down, or simply rushing in and scoring.

In this game, the inside line guarded by the Bucks simply became a stage for Li Luo to perform, allowing him to show off his various offensive skills.

This gap in physical power left the Bucks powerless to do anything, although Reid and Ford penetrated the Celtics' backline in this game.

But the combination of Pierce and Li Luo recovered all the disadvantages on the offensive end.

In this battle, Pierce vented his grievances about the journey to the west. If Luo Li had some martial ethics towards Van Horn.

What Pierce did to Desmond Mason, the 2001 Slam Dunk Contest winner, was murder.

In the previous three games of the Western Conference, Pierce did not perform very well under the fatigue of traveling and traveling, so in the first game back in Boston, Pierce had a "retaliatory explosion."

With 36 points and no assists, Pierce almost did it with the ball. In the fourth quarter, Desmond Mason, who was dejected, even asked to leave the game. This was too torture for him.

Fortunately, not long after the fourth quarter began, the Bucks faced a 23-point deficit and surrendered.

Celtics beat Bucks 112:96!

In this game, TJ Ford performed quite well, with both statistics of 20 points and 8 assists hitting season highs.

After the game, Li Luo praised his old friend in front of the media and said that it felt good to go home.

Friendships between nba players often show up off the court,

As night fell, the streets of Boston became a bit desolate. Due to public security issues, both of them chose to rest while shopping in the city's busiest downtown area after the game.

"How about it? Ford. This is my city, and I will bring it a championship."

"Ha, even if you win the championship, Boston won't recognize this as your city."

"What's more, the situation of the Celtics is not good, but who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe I will win the championship before you."

Ford is telling the truth. Boston's football market is too big. Even the Celtics, who are full of honors, cannot capture everyone's love. There are too many glorious histories of the four major leagues intertwined here, which is bound to cause a diversion of fans.

.

"No, if one championship doesn't work, then two. If two don't work, then three. The Bulls were bad back then, but what about now?"

Luo Li walked passionately through the streets of Boston, describing the future to his old friend:

"One day these billboards will have my posters on them. What everyone sees is me. Who will say then that this is not my city?"

"Ha, then I'll wait for that day, great hero of Boston. It would be great if you can get a discount for dining in Boston by reporting your name."
