Chapter 198 198. The strongest substitute in the alliance is online!
Just so confident!
Pierce thought in his heart that he was the most talented genius in the world.
Just like in the original time and space when he won the FMVP in 2008 and claimed to be No.1 in the universe.
After calming down, Pierce called his teammates who played together in the second quarter to discuss...
On the other hand, the two coaches were very satisfied with Liu Xiu's performance in the first quarter.
In fact, in their opinion, Liu Xiu did not play as well as before. Using the abilities of his teammates and connecting the team to attack, the balance between these two points, Liu Xiu was too focused on strengthening his personal scoring.
But the two coaches think this is very good and necessary.
Liu Xiu is bound to become a star above the All-Stars, and the two think so.
If creating opportunities for Liu Xiu and creating opportunities for role players in the tactics are equally difficult, the two coaches decisively give priority to the former.
……
The second quarter started, and Liu Xiu was replaced for half a quarter.
At first, he refused, but it was necessary to think about it.
It is necessary to ensure the normal rotation and tactical flow of the team.
Especially the new dual-core rotation lineup of Flying Squirrel + Harrington has just been formed. The two are very compatible, but they need enough playing time to partner with more teammates.
The lineup can't say when and who should be replaced. The core players must be those few, but the other players on the field have to be adjusted according to the opponent's lineup and performance.
Liu Xiu hoped that Pierce would not score too many points. He really couldn't catch up...I didn't expect that Pierce, who scored like that in the first quarter, really dropped his score, and only scored 2 points in the half quarter, but!
The Celtics scored 15 points in the half quarter, and Pierce scored 2 points and 3 assists in the half quarter!
As for the Trail Blazers, the number one player during the 6-game streak, the little flying mouse who has been in C since the All-Star Weekend, is screwed tonight!
Playing too turbulently, Flying Squirrel scored 5 of 1 in the half quarter and led the team to only 9 points.
During this period, the Trail Blazers did not change players randomly in a panic, and the ability to resist pressure brought by the record advantage is still there.
It’s just that the orderly adjustments didn’t have a very good effect. The rotation combination of Flying Squirrel + Harrington was originally a combination with the goal of scoring. The defense was relatively weak. They focused on blocking Pierce’s score. , making the other party soar.
When entering the official timeout, the score was 36 to 39, and the Celtics narrowed the point difference to 3 points!
After returning from the official timeout, the Trail Blazers replaced Liu Xiu, Derek Anderson, Harrington, Randolph, and Dale Davis.
With Randolph on the court, the Trail Blazers have a stable scoring point, and Liu Xiu is here, and the Trail Blazers have a clearer routine.
Liu Xiu tried to continue to compete with Pierce, dragging down the Celtics' team offense and defense.
But Pierce did not continue to confront Liu Xiu!
Pierce found out that he wanted to score higher than Liu Xiu, but there was no need for Duantou to compete with Liu Xiu!
He doesn't need to work so hard, and his score may not be lower than Liu Xiu's.
Because when he scored, the opponent had a good strategy to defend him.
And when he was miserably restricted by the opposing team's defense, Liu Xiu's all-out score was no higher than him.
Of course, this is not the key to Pierce's calm down. There are two key points. First, he recognized that Liu Xiu, a rookie, is indeed not bad, and the second is that damned competitive spirit!
Liu Xiu can't drag Pierce into the quagmire of confrontation, so the Trail Blazers can only compete with the Celtics, and the Trail Blazers are not afraid.
It was just that in the first half of the second quarter, the Celtics played teamwork. In the second half of the second quarter, the double point forward combination of Pierce and Ricky Davis led the Celtics to play very beautifully. Offensive shock!
Pierce scored 4 points and 2 assists in the half quarter, leading the Celtics to 14 points in the half quarter.
Throughout the second quarter, Pierce scored 6 points and 5 assists, leading the Celtics to 29 points!
Although the Trail Blazers scored 15 points in the second half of the second quarter, they were beaten 29 to 24 by the Celtics.
After halftime, the Celtics chased the score to 50 to 54, narrowing the point difference to 4 points!
After halftime, Liu Xiu scored 19 points, while Pierce scored 21 points.
……
Inside stars lead the team steadily.
The probability of an explosion led by outside stars is high.
Pierce is going to be flirty tonight!
After returning from the intermission, Randolph and Liu Xiu cooperated and led the Trail Blazers and the Celtics to race for a few minutes.
The Celtics were stunned by the threat of Pierce's sudden point, Ricky Davis received the ball and hit the ball, and they became hard steel with the Trail Blazers.
After a 13-13 half quarter, the score was 63-67.
Randolph soared for half a quarter and was replaced. The Trail Blazers replaced the combination of Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Miles, Harrington, and McDyess, which was brisk and agile and easier to pinch.
The Celtics sent a combination of Ricky Davis, Vilchenko, Pierce, Walter McCarty, and Chris Mihm.
For the Trail Blazers lineup, Harrington is the core of tactics, Flying Squirrel is the main attack point, Liu Xiu is the first support point, Myers cuts into the threat, and McDyess catches and shoots the ball in the long-range shot.
The Trail Blazers lineup is very reasonable, and the tactics have been played a few times, but tonight, the little flying mouse is really good at shooting from the outside, so he chose to break through and compress the opponent's defense.
Little Flying Squirrel made a good choice. After most of the season, he is already a qualified sixth man.
When the ball is passed, Harrington has to handle the distribution and the necessary singles.
But he met Pierce's hard defense and stopped...
Panacea, it means not strong enough!
Harrington played so hard against an old Witherspoon.
When you need any type of player, you can think of Harrington. He can even run like a shooting guard, catch and shoot, and break through to finish.
But with his strength, you can only expect him to play like that, not expect him to be able to do it.
It's impossible to compare Harrington with Anthony Walker, Lamar Odom and those players who are called jack of all trades.
Harrington and these two are not at the same level at all. After the rookie contract, the two get the maximum salary, and Harrington is only a four-year mid-level contract.
Harrington broke through in a singles, missed a pass, and was intercepted by Pierce...
Although he is the same player, Pierce has much richer game experience than Harrington. In 2 minutes, Harrington only got 1 iron, 1 rebound and 1 turnover!
At 8 minutes and 08 seconds of the third quarter, the score was tied at 67!
Falling into a positional battle, the Celtics finally got their shots right, and Liu Xiu protected the defensive rebounds.
When the Trail Blazers attacked, the ball came to Liu Xiu, who was in the low position on the left, after a pass rotation.
Liu Xiu was in a hurry. Facing Vershenko's defense, she chose to rely on hitting and bumped into it...
In desperation, he subconsciously used Tieshanko's exertion posture and directly knocked Vilchenko over.
The referee blows the whistle and makes boxing moves.
Hit someone with the ball!
Liu Xiu immediately realized that this movement has not been improved, it is not a basketball movement.
The big screen played back in slow motion. When Liu Xiu hit the impact, his left leg stretched between Vershenko's legs and hit Vershenko's inner thigh. His left arm also opened.
This is definitely a foul.
The Trail Blazers call a timeout!
Vilshenko was helped up by his teammates, and he was very excited to celebrate with his teammates by high-fiving, acting quite tough.
Judging from the results, he has done a great job defending this time and is expected to overtake the score!
Vershenko, who was high-fiving his teammates, was startled when he saw Liu Xiu walking towards him.
The Celtics players also focused on Liu Xiu.
"Sorry, are you okay? Do you want to check? Last time I bumped into someone and accidentally broke his rib..."
"Eh?" Vershenko was stunned for a moment, then patted his abdomen and legs, the pain had eased, and replied, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about it."
Liu Xiu heaved a sigh of relief and ran back to his bench.
Pierce on the side felt that this warden was really special, but he was even more annoying.
It's fine with good looks and villainous image, but there is such a side that won't please the fans if it spreads out?
Mainly to please those female fans!
On the Trail Blazers bench side, I wanted to let Raheem try when there is a clear lead, otherwise I can wait until the next game. This, Maurice Cheeks discussed with Raheem before the start of the game up.
But now, it's time to break the plan.
Randolph must continue to rest, but he needs a really strong player to help Liu Xiu, so that Liu Xiu can drive the team's offense.
Morris-Cheeks chose to give it a try.
Raheem took off his training clothes excitedly, and finally got the chance to play!
……
On Pierce's side, he was discussing with his coach and teammates how to play the next time. He must play an advantage before the opponent replaces Randolph. If he doesn't have a big lead and returns to the starting lineup for the fourth quarter, the pressure will be great. .
Suddenly, there were violent cheers at the scene.
Pierce looked around, focusing on Raheem.
Take off the training clothes!
The two are also old acquaintances, both of them are geniuses who graduated from high school in 95.
"Isn't this guy injured? Playing with an injury? It's unreasonable! No injury, so why not use it in front?"
Pierce had a question mark in his head.
Instead, Celtics coach John Carroll quickly figured out what the other side was doing—it was the same as the Cavaliers selling Ricky Davis cheaply.
It's just that the Trail Blazers did it harder than the Cavaliers.
The head coaches under the hands of rich bosses are all so rich and powerful, the 1350 million dollar water dispenser administrator...
The Trail Blazers have done similar things. In the summer of 2000, the Trail Blazers traded back Sean Kemp. Although Kemp came back from the lockout, he was useless, but in the 99-00 season, even if he was dragging his fat, he could still play. An average performance of 17+8, and because Mike Dunleavy didn't like Kemp, he felt that Kemp's arrival would ruin the team's ethos, so he didn't use it directly, and gave about ten minutes of playing time every game because of garbage time or insufficient hands for injured patients .
When Maurice Cheeks came to power and tried it for a year, he suggested that the team buy out Sean Kemp.
It won't cut the salary the Blazers pay, it won't reduce the luxury tax payment, and it won't even do anything to free up cap space, but Paul Allen agreed.
Because Kemp affects not only the team's atmosphere, but also the playing attitude of other players, which is unacceptable to Maurice Cheeks.
Pause back.
The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Miles, Raheem, and Dale Davis.
The Celtics sent Ricky Davis, Vilchenko, Pierce, Walter McCarty, and Mark Blunt.
The game continues, the Celtics attack.
Pierce calmed down the mood swings caused by the sudden arrival of the promised injured Raheem.
Entering the state of organizational offense, Pierce has been promoted to improve the organizational offense without his big brother Anthony Walker.
Pierce singled the ball to Vilshchenko, Vilshchenko made a straight pass, and Ricky Davis cut from the bottom line to catch the ball against Dell Davis and made a layup.
Ricky Davis' impact is quite ferocious!
69 to 67, the Celtics lead by 2 points!
This is the first time the Celtics have taken the lead since the start of the game!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers attack.
Liu Xiu holds the ball, facing Ricky Davis' defense, changes direction in front of his body, quickly pulls horizontally, and breaks through!
Ricky Davis was not discouraged when he was passed, he was used to it, he immediately turned around and chased, with a good attitude, relying on his physical fitness, the effect of chasing and defending was also good.
But blocked by Miles!
With Miles or McDyess, Liu Xiu's breakthrough effect in singles is always better, and the two of them have done a very good job in active pick-and-roll cooperation. The main reason is that after McDyess joined, Miles learned a lot. His talent in this area good.
Liu Xiu burst into close range, and the Celtics players took it back, but they didn't stick close to each other, covering Liu Xiu's shooting space.
For the strong Eastern Conference finals two years ago, some things on the defensive end are still there.
Liu Xiu points the ball to the free throw line defense line, Raheem cuts in the middle to catch the ball, Pierce switches in place, Raheem takes the initiative to stick to Pierce, turns around Pierce beautifully, and goes straight to the basket, Mark Blunt takes the opportunity to make up But it didn't help, Raheem jumped off Mark Blunt's post, pulled the bar for a layup...in!
Moreover, the referee's whistle sounded!
Mark Blunt blocked the foul, and Rahim's goal was valid and an additional penalty was required!
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Rahim added a free throw, the score was 70 to 69, and the Trail Blazers took the lead again!
Pierce: You XXXXXX... You were injured and couldn't play as agreed?
