Chapter 21 The Running Game(1/2)

Boston, TD North Shore Gardens.

More than 18,000 seats were full, but the stadium was extremely quiet. More than 18,000 Boston fans only made low noises.

"The league's heavy penalty for the Celtics and North Shore Gardens has made the Bostonians realize the seriousness of the problem. In this game, the Boston fans entering the game were very quiet."

The evil race knights no longer exist, and the "angry" trait cannot be triggered.

Let’s first look at the opponents, KG, Pierce and Ray Allen’s Big Three, supplemented by point guard Rondo and center Perkins, who are very powerful…

Look at his teammates, Lao Sha took a rest, Lao Ai looked listless and vigorously fighting spirit, leaving only Li Ke and Hua's second son.

"The first defeat of North Shore Garden is really coming."

Before this battle, public opinion generally did not look forward to the Bobcats who had performed extremely hard since the start of the new season.

The media naturally mentioned Li Ke's record of winning in North Shore Garden.

Therefore, Li Ke's so-called saying that he would not lose in North Shore Garden will be broken.

"Don't care about what's available or not, the game hasn't started yet!"

As the game approached, Li Ke's eyes also became firm.

If he doesn't cheat, he can't beat the Celtics? That's not necessarily!

"The 2008-09 season, the battle for the Bobcats' North Shore Garden is about to begin..."

TNT's commentator seat, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley announced the start of the game loudly.

The starters on both sides have not changed in the Celtics compared to last season.

However, for this game, the Bobcats brought Chris Humphries to the starter. With the old Sharks back, the Bobcats' inside line was directly replaced by a young man combination of Jordan and Humphries.

In the jump ball stage, DeAndre Jordan vs. Kendrick Perkins won and lost only in a moment, but long before this moment, there was no suspense about the outcome.

"Dandre Jordan won the jump ball with an absolute advantage!"

Compared with the old shark who can't jump, Jordan's only advantage is that he can dance happily.

The jumping ball stage jumped up and took the lead by Perkins by half, and the basketball was first transferred, and the Bobcats' offense began.

Lao Ai controlled the ball and did not move for the time being.

Because of this month's struggle, the Bobcats' offense has become unfixed, and it is no longer the way to play the same way that must be Lao Ai's singles starting point.

Just like this ball, Jordan came out and gave a pick-and-roll, and Lao Ai rushed out after the cover.

The problem is that the Celtics, who Tom Siberdu teaches, have a very close defensive formation. The next second of the pick-and-roll, a delayed stopping return was blocked, and Lao Ai was stopped.

With a thud, the basketball was spread by Lao Ai.

If the timeline is turned back to last season, or more than half a month ago, Lao Ai's pass will be enough to surprise many people.

You can say that Lao Ai is very team now.

But the fact is that Lao Ai lost her former self-confidence. Facing Rondo's defense, Lao Ai couldn't guarantee that he would definitely make a shot.

So, passing became his first choice.

Li Ke received the ball and was on the wing, and he needed to face Ray Allen's defense.

This is a gap, because he was hit by the back, maybe he was afraid of Pierce, but Gentleman Thunder...

Li Ke did not have any extra moves and directly carried his back.

"Pushing back, turning around, Sheldon rushed in..."

Kenny Smith shouted, wherever he looked, was Li Ke who had a bloody path after turning around.

The Celtics' response was a bit hasty. After all, the Bobcats were still Lao Ai's main attacker a second ago, and directly involved the Celtics' joint defense center.

By this moment, Li Ke had a sprint and only Perkins was left at the basket.

Dunk or layup?

In fact, for a more reasonable Li Ke, he has no choice at this moment.

Perkins' squat pit defense is excellent. If Li Ke really dares to put on his head again, even if he takes a foul, Perkins will press Li Ke down.

It is impossible to dunk it. In order to ensure the goal, Li Ke could only make a layup.

Facing Perkins's defense, Li Ke held up the basketball. When Perkins approached, he shot a feint.

Snatch the ball, lean on Perkins, change hands, and finally, a low-handed layup...

Bang!

The basketball smashed the rebound, then hit the edge of the basket and got into the basket.

Swish—!

The sound of rubbing the net was delayed by a second, but it was harmless. Li Ke scored the goal, which was enough.

"The ball is in, the Bobcats are 2-0!"

"The Celtics still underestimated Sheldon's back attack. They used gentleman thunder to defend Sheldon, which was simply giving away points..."

Siberdu also discovered this on the sidelines. Lei Alun's tonnage is a bit worse than Li Ke.

"Paul, go guard against him!"

Siberdu was very direct. After one wave of defense, he changed his defense matchup directly.

The Celtics' offense has been tested whether the Celtics have made progress after changing coaches.

Of course, the new season has been going on for about a month, and the Bobcats are still quite clear whether the Celtics' offense has improved.

To be honest, no progress...

Siberdu's defense is excellent, but his defensive system is the old-fashioned position defense, relying on killing time to lower the number of offense rounds.

And his assistant coach, Mike D'Anthony's offense, relies on rapid offensive and defensive conversions to increase the number of offensive rounds...

Totally opposite, even two extremes, it is impossible to expect these two to find a balance point and make the Celtics a top-notch team with both offense and defense!

On the offensive end, the biggest change for the Celtics is that they have added a lot of pick-and-rolls.

Rondo controlled the ball, leaned against Pierce's pick-and-roll, rushed in and then went to the wing. Junzi Lei also relied on KG's cover to shake off Hua Lao Erxiao half a step away.

On the strong side, because of the delayed resistance and return, there is no good opportunity in front of Rondo. On the weak side, the gentleman Lei who bypasses the cover has a chance to take action.

So, he took the ball and shot directly, with a three-pointer...

Bang-!

Whether to make a blacksmith or not depends on the feel. Obviously, Junzi Lei’s feel is not too hot.

"This Celtics' offense has not made much progress compared to last season..."

Last season, the Celtics' offense was a variety of singles, and this season, they just had more cooperation.

These so-called pick-and-roll cooperation can hit teams with gaps on the wings, and may still be able to achieve success.

But for bobcats, the intensity is far from enough.

The two young men are still very motivated in the competition for rebounds under the basket.

Humphris stuck KG, Jordan jumped up and grabbed the rebound.

The ball rights change, the offense and defense change, and it is another round for the Bobcats.

Turning around, the Celtics were indeed a substitution. Li Ke faced Pierce, but he decisively took the basketball from Lao Ai.

It was still a high-level back hit, and Li Ke's big butt was so hard that he was close to him.

Pierce's strength met Li Ke. Although it was a little weaker, it at least slightly stopped Li Ke for a moment.

Li Ke was determined to hit the basket, and he made two steps, and he turned around again.

Pierce was still fighting with Li Ke, and the moment Li Ke turned around and broke through, he naturally couldn't keep up.

However, the Celtics' near-frame area has been completely wrapped by KG.

Pierce turned around slowly, but unexpectedly, Li Ke rushed out for a small step and stopped immediately.

"Step around and break through... Emergency stop... Sheldon also added a step-down... and then took action!"

Swish—!

"The ball is in, 4-0!"

Speaking of which, Li Ke's ball also depends on the feel.

Obviously, Li Ke's touch was still very hot, perhaps due to the low-hand layup at the opening, but an undisputed fact was that the Bobcats were very successful at the beginning of this game.

In the Celtic round, Pierce attacked a round, with a pick-and-roll cover, and reached the middle distance. Li Ke, who returned to the front of him after delaying the obstacle and returning, made a mid-range shot.

Bang-!

The Celtics still failed to score.

"This attack is too urgent."

Li Ke didn't know what to say, but Li Ke only knew that in this case, he should strike harder.
To be continued...
