Jason Terry was a little nervous when he came on the court, but after a successful collaboration with Liu Mang, he seemed to have an epiphany.

In fact, I just want to understand that I am really not suitable for that kind of brain-intensive work. What do I want to do so much? I just need to show my own characteristics. If it is not possible, just give the ball to Liu Mang. Anyway, this kid has a big heart and is willing to do it.

The key to taking the blame is to be smart.

Let Liu Mang do this kind of thinking thing. Jason Terry decided to play according to his heart!

Liu Mang retreated to the baseline, and Jason Terry asked Raheem to pull him outside the three-point line on the right, opening up all the space, and then waved Boozer to come out for a pick-and-roll!

After putting aside those miscellaneous thoughts, Jason Terry's brain is working well. Since the opponent has blocked his way of organizing the offense to break through and distribute the ball, let's pick and roll! That kid always does this when he can't open the ball.

.

And when Raheem came outside the three-point line, Eric Williams didn't dare to come out. Boozer came up to block Delke for Jason Terry. This pick-and-roll was much tighter than Liu Mang's pick-and-roll.

Jason Terry bypassed the pick-and-roll and rushed to the free throw line. Only then did Delk get rid of Boozer and chase Jason Terry. Antoine Walker, who followed the pursuit, almost didn't catch up!

At the same time, Boozer ran to the left corner and helped Liu Mang block Pierce. Liu Mang cut inside. Jason Terry was blocked on the right side of the three-second area. Ratliff took a step into the basket.

Sentry wanted to pass to Ratliff and use Ratliff's height and wingspan advantage to hit Vin Baker, but he felt that Ratliff's high-flying attack was a bit unreliable, and Vin Baker's size looked...

It's scary, even thicker than Ratliff. Ratliff may not be as big as Vin Baker.

So Jason Terry shot it himself! When he shot it, he yelled for a rebound!

Jason Terry saw his hopes pinned on Boozer, expecting Boozer to cut to the basket at this time.

But when the shot landed, he saw Boozer entangled with Pierce in the corner. Jason Terry felt chilled. He would have passed it to Ratliff if he had known it! At least Ratliff was tall enough, although he was not

It's reliable, but at least it's more reliable than my own...

Sure enough, the ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced up. Ratliff pushed Vin Baker, but didn't push. Suddenly, Ratliff saw a figure rushing in, so Ratliff turned around without hesitation.

Blocked by Antoine Walker and Delk.

Vin Baker was still fighting against Ratliff, but he didn't expect Ratliff to move his chair, and he almost fell down. Thanks to his large tonnage, he only had to lower his center of gravity and stand, not as desperate as Ratliff.

Pushing the opponent, he stood firm. At this time, Wen Baker was ecstatic and was about to receive another rebound happily!

Just when Vin Baker had determined where the ball would land, and was about to reach out and grab the ball, and was looking at the basket eagerly waiting for the ball to fall, a figure appeared in his sight and pushed the ball back to the basket.

basket!

Liu Mang!

Liu Mang took advantage of Boozer's off-ball pick-and-roll and rushed into the paint without hesitation to dunk!

The Celtics called timeout again, and Coach O'Brien felt something was wrong!

I can't help it!

It happened to be the official timeout time, and Coach O'Brien quickly called a timeout.

Liu Mang came up and high-fived Boozer, then ignored Jason Terry. Liu Mang spread his arms, imitating Jason Terry's signature move after scoring a goal, started the jet, and ran to his bench.

There were no boos at the scene, but the voices of hundreds of Liu Mang fans covered up the temperless boos of nearly 20,000 people!

Like Coach O'Brien, Celtics fans also feel bad.

Their fans know the characteristics of their team best. The characteristics of the Celtics are to widen the point difference at the beginning and wear down the defense in the middle. Pierce and Antoine Walker continued to play singles, and were slowly overtaken by the opponent or even overtaken. In the last quarter Antoine Walker was basically useless, and Pierce came up to solve the game.

And the way to win this game, Celtic fans and the Celtics coaching staff have the same idea, which is to use the Eagles' running-in period pain to widen the point difference at the beginning, but now, in 6 minutes, it's 18-all. , completely failed to suppress the Eagles!

Even, they were able to tie with the Eagles at 18 because Antoine Walker played very well in the beginning and relied on offense to even the point difference!

Boozer watched Jason Terry chasing Liu Mang, who was playing the role of a jet, trying to beat Liu Mang but couldn't catch him. Boozer couldn't help but sigh, the little boss is so awesome!

Boozer accurately predicted the situation just now. He knew that if he rushed in with such a big body, it would inevitably become a mess inside. Jason Terry did not have the awareness to block and break the ball as well as Liu Mang, otherwise he would have just been It can be directly passed back to Boozer who is one step inside the three-point line.

So Boozer went to pick and roll Liu Mang, allowing Liu Mang to have an opening. When Liu Mang yelled for the ball, Jason Terry would definitely give it to him, but Jason Terry, a rookie, would not pay attention to him.

I have to say that Boozer's judgment was correct. Jason Terry didn't even think about passing the ball to Boozer. If he didn't think of the offensive rebound in the end, he would have forgotten about Boozer. , just like Liu Mang was ignored in the early stages of his rookie season, Boozer is obviously far inferior to Liu Mang's performance in his rookie season. It is amazing at best. A player at the end of the first round performed as well as the first few picks, but There is still a clear gap between the performance of Liu Mang, a historical rookie who averaged 20 per game.

But Boozer didn't expect that Liu Mang would rush in to make up the dunk! He didn't expect that Jason Terry would actually shoot like that!

With this ball, Liu Mang was the only one who understood Jason Terry. Boozer marveled at Liu Mang's understanding of his team's players!

Boozer thought of a lot at this moment, such as Liu Mang's emphasis on his mid-range shot, giving him opportunities to play in low singles, and trusting his one-on-one defense in the paint...

…

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! During the official pause, Jason Terry saw that his signature move was stolen by Liu Mang, and he angrily fought with Liu Mang for a while, and then replied Go to the bench and listen to the next tactical arrangement.

A substitution is definitely needed. Ratliff is the key to the Hawks' inside start. In the few minutes before Jason Terry was replaced, Ratliff relied on his positioning advantage and used the second offense to score many points.

.

Now it's time to make a substitution.

It's mainly about the arrangement on the defensive end. Coach Kruger is worried about the same thing as the Celtics. He has the same idea. They scored 18 points and their opponent also scored 18 points. They have to find a way to limit the fat one.

Only Toutuo will do.

This nickname is Fat Tou Tuo. Others in the Eagles also use this nickname to call Antoine Walker privately. It’s all because of a certain sophomore who used the nickname Fat Tou Tuo to call Antoine during a team meeting.

-Walker, others thought it was really impressive and started using it.

Toutuo is a practicing monk.

Monks are not necessarily bald, but Chinese monks who come to the United States to spread their teachings, that is, monks, must be bald. This is a characteristic of domestic monks, and China's influence is growing, especially Kung Fu movies related to the Shaolin Temple.

People from European and American countries have a huge influence, so in the eyes of European and American countries, monks are equal to monks, and monks are equal to bald heads.

It was a coincidence that Antoine Walker happened to have a bald head, and the rest of the Eagles thought Liu Mang was playing a prank on Antoine Walker and gave him this nickname.

Mike Woodson, the assistant coach in charge of defense, saw Liu Mang coming back, discussed it with Liu Mang, and quickly made a substitution decision.

Jason Terry and Liu Mang continued to partner on the back line, Prince and Raheem partnered on the forward line, and Boozer moved to the center position in a smaller lineup.

Muhammad was not replaced because Boozer was large and the opponent had Vin Baker inside, so Muhammad would definitely not be able to guard against him.

Muhammad didn't complain about his reduced role. His numbers dropped a lot this year, averaging 8 points and 8 rebounds per game. But he never complained. Instead, he taught Boozer a lot of rebounding skills and skills.

Blocking skills.

Muhammad has always been a player who puts the team's interests first. Otherwise, the Thunder would not have given him a contract at the age of 40 and let him go back to guard the locker room. His personality is completely inconsistent with his appearance. He knows how to consider his teammates too well.

Now, he clearly saw that Boozer was far more talented than him, so he didn't complain about the reduced playing time. Only with a character like his could his data be mediocre in the future.

The reason why a team that competes for the championship can still get contracts worth more than 5 million for 10 consecutive years.

As a perennial substitute player who averaged 26 appearances and 5 minutes per game in the first three years of his rookie contract, a player who was waived before the fourth year of his rookie contract was able to play 18 seasons and earn nearly 70 million.

With a salary of US dollars, Muhammad can be considered a miracle!

Who doesn't like teammates like this?

Seeing that he was not replaced, Muhammad did not show any dissatisfaction, but loudly cheered for his teammates.

…

After the timeout, the Celtics replaced Eric Williams with Kedric Brown to strengthen defense. The Celtics lineup became Delk, Brown, Pierce, and Antoine Walker.

Vin-Baker.

The Eagles' lineup is Jason Terry, Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, and Boozer.

The Celtics attack and continue to look for Antoine Walker. Taking advantage of Antoine Walker's good condition, they want to continue to beat him.

Raheem was prepared to endure the ravages of Antoine Walker in the paint, but Antoine Walker actually stopped entering the paint! Instead, he asked for the ball directly outside the three-point line!

"NO..." Coach O'Brien couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice on the sidelines. Because the sound was loud, no one heard his cry, but he was about to collapse inside.

You've only been playing hard for a few minutes and you're already tired?

Just as Coach O'Brien thought, Antoine Walker was indeed tired.

I just played Boozer twice and made 1 of 2 shots. It looked pretty good, but Antoine Walker felt that it was too tiring to play in the paint, so why bother.

Moreover, the official timeout just now was long. Antoine Walker ran to the technical desk and looked at his data. Hey, he has already had 3 assists and made 4 of 6 shots. However, he only made 1 of 1 three-pointers.

The rate is so high, please vote more!

Delk saw Antoine Walker asking for the ball and immediately passed it over. Antoine Walker received the ball and shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

Raheem did not expect Antoine Walker to be so decisive and his defense was not timely. Antoine Walker really felt really good in this game and directly hit a three-pointer.

Antoine Walker scored 12 points in a single quarter!

Rahim was so depressed. He finally understood why Liu Mang asked Mike Woodson to put him at the power forward position. Boozer was obviously more confident in defending Antoine Walker inside. He had expected this!

Raheem hammered his chest, indicating that the ball was his problem.

When the Eagles attacked, Jason Terry picked up the ball and passed it to Liu Mang, then ran forward and let Liu Mang advance.

Jason Terry saw that the Celtics were very strict on his defense. Although he scored in the first two attacks, he may not always have such good luck, especially the second goal, which was really lucky.

Okay, Liu Mang actually got another top five ball-level putback dunk, so Jason Terry just went to open up the space honestly and played like he did today. He didn't have to hold the ball himself.

, the game, of course, is how to play effectively.

During the timeout just now, when Liu Mang was discussing with Jason Terry how they would cooperate next, he heard Jason Terry's analysis and gave Jason Terry a thumbs up, praising him: tea egg head cover.

The guy with the hair tie has some brains too!
