Chapter 764 We Are Not the Same Level of Players at All
"Hey..." With Kevin Garnett's successful jump ball, the Celtics got their first chance to attack, but when Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball into half court, The audience at the scene discovered that the Pacers did not arrange players to defend Rajon Rondo at all. Tony Allen, who was supposed to face Rajon Rondo, is now following Ray Allen. Meng Xu at position 2 was entangled with Paul Pierce. As for James Posey, he stood alone below the free throw line, more than three meters away from Rajon Rondo.

"Rick's defensive arrangement is really bold." Reggie Miller, who also saw this scene, was also surprised by Rick Carlisle's bold tactical arrangement. Although the Celtics guard didn't shoot well, but In all fairness, if Reggie Miller was the head coach of a team, Reggie Miller would never have made such a bold arrangement anyway.

Although Reggie Miller is now TNT's contract commentator, Reggie Miller also often asks Larry Bird for advice on how to coach a team. Ji Miller also wants to try to coach an NBA team. In addition to his 17-year career, he has been influenced by famous coaches such as Larry Brown and Larry Bird. Therefore, Reggie Miller's Tactical literacy is still very good, and the more this is the case, the more Reggie Miller admires Rick Carlisle, because if he is in a different place, in such a critical game, he will definitely choose a more secure tactic instead of Take a risk like Rick Carlisle.

"Now the pressure is all on Rajon Rondo. If he doesn't dare to shoot or miss the shot when there is no defense, then the Pacers will inevitably be more unscrupulous in the next game. "

Rajon Rondo, who is standing at the top of the arc with the ball, is obviously hesitant now. Before the start of the game, the head coach’s tactical requirement for him is to try to hand over the basketball to Kevin Garnett. You can also shoot, and it is obviously a suitable opportunity in front of you. The nearest defender is still three meters away, so this is an excellent shooting opportunity, but the medium and long-range shots, especially the three-point shooting rate, are terrible. Rajon Rondo is really afraid of shooting outside the three-point line. As a guard, Rajon Rondo only took 19 three-pointers in the regular season this season and only hit 5 goals. The shooting percentage is only 26%, and after the fierce playoffs, Rajon Rondo's three-point shooting percentage has dropped to only 20%, and this is because most of Rondo's shots are open. Next, so although this is an excellent opportunity, Rajon Rondo still hesitated for a long time.

"Hey!" Seeing Rajon Rondo standing there submissively, Doug Rivers standing on the sidelines is already scratching his head anxiously at this moment. In this case, the most feared thing is hesitation, but Doug- Rivers can't remind Rajon Rondo, because that will only bring him pressure.

Rajon Rondo, who became more and more angry and hated, hesitated for a few seconds before throwing the basketball in his hand, and the basketball thrown by Rajon Rondo hit the basket without accident The front edge of the basket popped out.

Darko Milicic, who grabbed the rebound, directly passed the basketball in his hand to James Posey near the free throw line, and the Pacers blew the horn of counterattack.

Same as the strategy against the Cavaliers in the last round, Doug Rivers' defensive tactics on the defensive end in today's game are still man-to-man defense. Due to Kevin Garnett's excellent defense ability and enough coverage to the three-point line, so the Celtics are not afraid of missing people on the defensive end, and it is precisely because of the almost ubiquitous ability to assist defense that Kevin Garnett alone supports Kyle. The special defensive system, and also crowned the best defensive player this season.

It is also based on Kevin Garnett's excellent defense ability, so the Celtics did not arrange a double-team defense against Meng Xu today, but let Paul Pierce take on the heavy responsibility of defending Meng Xu alone, so Next to Meng Xu, there is no Celtics defense player besides Paul Pierce.

After seeing this scene, Tony Allen, who had just dribbled the ball across the half court, made a direct long pass and handed the basketball to Meng Xu, who had reached the left side of the top of the arc.

Although Pierce's defensive ability can only be considered average, but fortunately Pierce's physical fitness is outstanding, coupled with his defensive concentration, and his off-ball movement is also very good, so when Tony Allen passed the ball to Meng Xu, Meng Xu hasn't gotten rid of Pierce's defense yet.

Although there is still a defensive player by his side, this will not affect Meng Xu's offense. The moment he catches the ball, Meng Xu makes a back-turning movement, and then stops halfway through the turn. Footsteps, step-backs and pull-up jumpers.

"Meng Xu's fake move just now was so beautiful, Paul Pierce was completely deceived by him!" It seems that Meng Xu's attack successfully confirmed what he said before the start of the game. After Xu made a three-pointer, Barkley in the commentary praised Meng Xu's attack over and over again, from Meng Xu's action when he received the ball, to Meng Xu's fake action to get rid of Pierce, and finally Barkley praised all the shooting moves, and those who didn't know thought Barkley was Meng Xu's NC sweetheart.

"Paul, we are not the same level of players at all, so you will never be able to beat me!" Paul Pierce, the first record in the regular season, the Eastern Conference finals, in front of these results, Pierce seems to have been a little smug, especially after scoring 41 points in the tiebreaker with the Cavaliers to help the Celtics beat the Cavaliers, Pierce He publicly stated that he is one of the three best players in the league, and Pierce lashed out at Meng Xu, so Meng Xu hoped that he would stay calm.

"You bastard, this XX." Meng Xu's words undoubtedly stimulated Pierce very much, so after Meng Xu's voice fell, Paul Pierce immediately scolded Meng Xu, if it wasn't for Lei behind him Allen pulled him, and Pierce probably rushed over to argue with Meng Xu.
