NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 293: Harden knocks off Pierce, who is the soft-footed shrimp?

O'Neal used his more than ten years of basketball experience to tell Howard that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!!

Although I am not good at defense, my offensive muscle memory is not something you can just say you can defend!

But in fact, Green Army fans were a little scared.

They actually felt that the Knicks' defense was very good in this round!

Because this tactic has appeared many times this season, O'Neal uses his golf intelligence and single-player intimidation to dominate the ball. In fact, he rarely plays in this position. Now that he is facing Howard, it is impossible to play until he is in the most helpless stage.

Everyone knows what O'Neal's physical condition is this season. He only has so many physical fitness bars. If he uses them in the first quarter, he may not be able to run at all in the fourth quarter.

The reason why I chose to fight like this was obviously because I didn't have a good strategy.

Who has nothing to do to challenge the best defensive player? It takes twice as much effort to score a goal.

Even O'Neal at his peak would not play like this from the beginning. This shows how hard the Knicks worked hard to catch the ball at the beginning, leaving the Celtics with no chance to catch the ball.

In fact, the Knicks' defensive weak link in the starting lineup was Turk Drew, but he happened to face Uncle Pi, so it was a direct match. In terms of speed, Agent was much faster than Uncle Pi.

"attack!"

"Knicks!"

"come on!"

Here the Knicks attack again. Howard directly reaches for the ball. O'Neal has no ability to go forward. Facing O'Neal, Howard turns around and takes a hook shot. After hitting the front frame, he takes off again and picks up the rebound. His muscles explode and prepare to attack again.

O'Neal pulled him down!!

He slapped Howard's forearm directly with his fat hand, and the fans stood up in shock. The person who slapped Howard was Howard. Ordinary people's arms would have been cut off directly.

Punch to the flesh!

Howard was pulled down and his chest was against O'Fatty. The two were separated by agents while they were muttering something. These two were the last weird combination before the All-Star Game. In the first game of the first round of the playoffs, they didn't give any face at all.

But actually Jiang Chao thinks it's okay.

This guy looks like a fat pig, but he is actually smart. This should be the arrangement of the coaching staff. If Howard directly pulls down the goal that Howard must score without mercy, it is better to let him go to the free throw line than let him be handsome and score 2 goals.

Points and 21 are good.

So the offense was ruthless, and Rivers was still applauding. It was obviously one of the tactics aimed at the Knicks. Both sides have centers who are the most inaccurate in free throws in the league, so the shark-cutting tactic can be used.

Howard stiffly made 0 of 2 free throws, and his arm may have been really affected.

"Don't be affected, take precautions!"

Here the Celtics are playing Garnett's big jumper, David Lee flexibly keeps up with the interference, Howard passes a long pass to Harden, Harden rushes to the three-point line in disguise, and while doing a little worship, he has been beaten by Rea

Lun was pulled, obviously!

The referee didn't call it!

Harden was probably on fire too. He pressed the accelerator to the end and rushed to the basket without hesitation. Facing Rondo's cover defense, he was forced to foul again by Rondo!!

The scene was in an uproar!

Because from the visual point of view, it is impossible for Rondo to block Harden due to his height, the ball is going towards people!

"Isn't this a criminal?"

"Is it a bad crime, referee?"

"Fuck you!"

"This is too dirty!"

"Dirty Green Team!"

"So this is how defensive the Iron Army is???"

Coach Stevens yelled at the Green Army players from the bottom, "What does this mean? The defensive team got its name from such fouls?"

These two consecutive rounds of foul damage are reasonable, but they are too annoying.

The experienced Messina next to him held him back. Maybe this was also one of the Celtics' tactics?

In fact, the commentator also said that when facing a young team, it may be what the experienced Green Army wants to do to irritate you first and make you play blindly without following the tactics.

Otherwise, they won't be able to fight even if they try hard enough. If they don't use more tactics, they will panic about some details.

Even though the fans are so harsh, people in the industry will not disparage the Knicks at all.

The Knicks were not bad last year, and they will add Howard this year. In fact, the Greens themselves know very well that the third place in the Eastern Conference was not brought by strong winds, but was achieved game by game in the regular season, and they are sixth.

It was also a helpless move against the Knicks.

If possible, who wouldn't want to be No. 1 in the Eastern Conference?

Home field advantage is still needed!

Howard Turk and Drew can turn the Eastern Conference upside down, let alone these talented youngsters.

So foul tactics to make them frustrated are also one of Kaizi's tactics.

"Don't blame him, just score a penalty!"

Jiang Chao handed the Coke to Scarlett on the sidelines, stood up and shouted. Harden waited for the players on the court to relax a little, and made two free throws steadily. It felt really good.

Fan: "Sparks, please learn to be more careful. For Harden, it's a gift of points, but for you, it's an indirect loss of points."

Pierce, in turn, challenged his old rival, the agent, and was blocked by Howard, who then knocked him over and refused to fall to the ground. He was also called for a foul and given a warning.

Because the referee obviously found that both sides had increased their actions, he must prevent the next vicious incident that may come next.

The tension between the two sides suddenly became intense. The death staredown between Truth and World of Warcraft was destined to determine the extraordinary nature of this series.

"Harden, fuck him!"

But in the next round, Curry directly shouted to Harden the Harden-versus-Pierce tactic that was most effective against the Celtics in the regular season.

Pierce, who called Harden a soft-footed shrimp before the game, once again switched to Harden. Facing him, Harden directly changed the rhythm of his hips and suddenly pulled back sideways. Pierce followed, and Harden suddenly pulled back.

In an instant, he took a suspended step back and took the ball out of the three-point line.

Pierce stumbled and fell to the ground!!!

"Harden knocked Pierce down in the first quarter!!!"

This time it was really a dog’s game, but now Harden was not so strong as to knock down the opponent, so he directly shot a three-pointer, and the ball went into the net with a wonderful arc!!!

"Have you ever won the MVP?? What are you pretending to do!!"

Before the game, Pierce mocked the opponent's starting shooting guard for being a soft-footed shrimp because Harden was caught panting and gasping for air in the last few games of the regular season and being passed by the opponent's defender. Now Harden immediately gave him a

Give a response.

I can knock you down without confrontation, what level is this??

Jiang Chao here was applauding as he watched. This is the second of the five super moves he taught, the suspended step back! It is much more effective than the foul-making method just now. The opponent cannot commit even if he wants to, and the referee is confused after seeing it.

Too fast.

"Good shot, good shot!"

Welcome to Harden’s Arena!!

What the hell, watching a game like this is worth 20 regular season games.

In the next round, Pierce turned around and went inside. Howard was pulled out by O'Neal, but Harden stabbed out diagonally and nailed Pierce!!!

"Good guy, Harden's shot chase!! This is something I haven't seen very often in the regular season."

"If the king of offense can become the master of defense, then Pierce will be really miserable."

"Pi Shen is the slowest in the whole game, can he still keep up with the rhythm?"

When the fans were questioning, Pierce was really stretched. After being protected by Ray Allen on the defensive end for one round, he took the initiative to hold the ball and challenge Turk Drew. He habitually turned his back to one side, leaned back and hit the ball.

When he got to the front line, Howard fiercely grabbed the rebound.

I can’t keep up the firepower!!

Pierce is the soul of the Celtics and an All-Star small forward.

On the other hand, Turk Drew played steadily here, holding the ball in the top arc and breaking through. The moment Pierce relaxed a little, he shot a fadeaway jumper. His shooting point made Pierce flinch, and he watched the Turkish agent throw the ball into the basket.

The Greens called a timeout early, and the Knicks remained stable after being fouled continuously. They were almost leading by double figures.

Jiang Chao here has been waiting for Pi Shen to shit his pants. Then he will definitely decode it after the game to make his mentality completely explode. Of course, if he can reach the super god state after shitting his pants, then he is also looking forward to it.

Pierce was seen breaking out.

Wang Binbin immediately posted:

"Harden knocks off Pierce, who is the soft-footed shrimp????"

"Leather God's feet are really soft, Harden's feet are really hard!"

"Give me a response! I fell down while taking a step back. Who else?"

In 2008, Pierce, Garnett, and Ray Allen led the Celtics to win the championship. He was also elected as the FMVP that year. This was the most glorious moment for every professional player.

But there is one thing to say: Pierce's entire career was only at the All-Star level, never at the superstar level.

He has never had an MVP performance in any season, and is still far away from this top personal honor.

Moreover, the tough-talking Pierce even said on a TV show that he was better than Kobe, and the vast majority of fans criticized him for this.

You must know that Kobe is the MVP and has set many records that are difficult for future generations to match.

The two people are not on the same level.

Jiang Chao also knows that he will also criticize Harden in the future. This guy is a tough talker. To really hit the key ball, he actually needs cold-blooded killers like Ray Allen and Garnett!

It's just that the Green Army didn't give Ray Allen a hard-fought strategy at the beginning. Otherwise, as long as the gentleman Lei had a little gap, he would have hit a three-pointer.

Sure enough, after the timeout, the Green Army changed their tactics directly.

Pierce became the extra attacker and passed the ball to Ray Allen, who came out. Ray Allen faced the slower Turk Drew who switched to guard him. He was only a few tenths of a second slower, and Ray Allen just drifted away.

Three-point shot, Biao Jin!!

Gentleman's Sword!!!

This is the team known as the five-star Green Army. Curry's escape skills here are not that mature. In Jiang Chao's opinion, it is difficult for Curry to have room to show off in the first round, because now this is Rondo, the peak defensive team.

How many players with big hands and long arms can defend against autism?

Curry is responsible for stretching him on the court to use up his energy.

In addition, if Rondo is not guarding, Ray Allen will follow him. No one understands the shooter's positioning route better than Ray Allen. Therefore, he walked to the point where Curry wanted to go several times in advance. His defensive awareness is excellent.

This is the man who defended Kobe Bryant alone throughout the finals!

…

Halfway through the quarter, the Knicks’ most anticipated substitute came on!!!

Because this time the substitute is the star-studded Yao Ming!!!

"Good guy, Beverly has this Nine-Yin White Bone Claw."

"Good rebound!! Yao can get any rebound he wants under the basket without jumping!"

"Harden is awesome! Stand back!"

"George, use your change of pace to get past everything!!!"

"Ibaka, yes, that's it, flip Garnett over to me!"

And as Mills faced off against Rondo, that moment changed again.

Mills doesn't want to get into position with you. He catches the ball and turns around while Rondo is still looking for a defensive angle. He makes a three-pointer and the ball goes in!

"Oh my God, O'Neal Jr.'s mid-range shot is so accurate. Does this make Garnett Jr. feel like he's seeing him????"

"What kind of tactic is this??? Oh my god, the Celtics actually played smooth team basketball!"

"The Knicks are not bad either. George's super air cutter and cross-cutting attack are so handsome!"

…

Jiang Chao heard all kinds of startled comments from the surroundings, including the beauties around him. This year the Knicks are really much better than last year. Although the point difference has always been about 9 points, there is obviously no feeling of shortcomings. Kai

The Celtics only rely on experience, personal ability and team chemistry to fight.

But the Knicks are in full bloom, and last year's weakest interior line and forward line have all been replaced. Look at Howard and Dayao's one-pillar strength and George's crazy wipes after becoming an agent substitute.

It works, this is indeed much easier to use than Gallinelli in the West!!

Although George's current offense is not as good as the beauty, the Knicks now have too many offensive players, so they need top 3D blue-collar players like George. Now he rarely makes the change of pace on the court that fans want to see.

He mostly leaves the ball to Harden or Curry. Harden and Curry, who are the starters, take turns to control the court. They will not all go off the court. They are all young people. They can't go off the court if they are good at passing the ball.

As the boss, Jiang Chao is very involved.

The clash of muscles and the back-and-forth tactics made Jiang Chao enjoy watching them.

In fact, apart from the deliberate fouls committed by the Celtics in the front, there were actually not many fouls in the back. Most of them were forced fouls, trying to defeat the opponent through what they had learned throughout their lives.

Moreover, people without the ball are fighting tooth and nail, and the referee pays more attention to the movements of the person holding the ball.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led by 9 points at 24:15. The Celtics were also well defended. After all, it was the Knicks' home court. Everyone was playing hard in the first quarter without reservation, and they were covered in battle.

There were only traces of blood in the first quarter, and many people were taken to emergency treatment because of blood stains on their bodies. (Blood stains are not allowed on the court.)

Really cool!

Compared with the hairy body whistle era seven or eight years later, this kind of game looks too enjoyable. In fact, there are very few three-point shots, and it is more about wild muscle confrontation, which can make men's blood rush!

"Garnett is acting sick again."

Behind Jiang Chao, a wealthy fan with a big belly and a Timberwolves jersey shook his head. He was obviously a personal fan of the Wolf King. At the beginning of the second quarter, Garnett, who was playing more and more extravagantly, even beat Yi Jianlian from behind.

After being pushed out, he became an iron-blooded person and then fell back and refused to touch him!

Since then, there have been more fixed-point jumpers with little lethality.

At the beginning, some of the work of holding the ball to kill the inside and using flexible skills were all gone!

If an insider, especially one with a fierce appearance, keeps making jump shots, he will not be able to kill his opponent both mentally and physically!!!
