Chapter 2 3 Battle of Tianwang Mountain

3 Battle of Tianwang Mountain

Less gossip, the game started, the Celtics' main player had already appeared, and the Lakers didn't have much to let go, center Yao Ming, power forward Turiav, small forward Odom, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Sean Livingston.

Yao Ming is Yao Ming, especially under the eyes of so many fellow villagers, who directly grabbed the jump ball. Ace did not steal the ball first-hand, but instead followed the Celtics to decisively retreat and defend.

Sean Livingston still adhered to the unspoken rules in the league to hand the ball to Kobe, so he pulled the ball away to the side to prepare for support, and Ace also ran to the side to defend.

The first duel depends on Tony Allen and Kobe. I have said before that Tony Allen's defensive intensity is not average. He also made some adjustments to Kobe based on the opinions given by Ace. Today his task is to block Kobe.

Kobe also heard a little about Tony Allen standing in front of him, but the two teams still have very few times to play, especially the Celtics ended in a bleak manner in the playoffs, so he didn't have much of a solution to deal with Tony Allen. However, after all, it was the first ball that had to play momentum, so he made a decision and forced a breakthrough.

But the Celtics won't give him such face. The show game? What a joke. Tony Allen directly blocked Kobe's forward rushing route in a small step, but he gave up the other side. Kobe was about to hit Tony Allen and wanted to have a disguised appearance, but he didn't expect Garnett had gone around and waited for him to act in disguise.

After considering two moves, Kobe held the ball with both hands and took a step back, followed by a tilt jump. His movements were simply teaching-like norms, but the ball did not make a shooting gesture in his hand, but instead smashed the ball into the penalty area. He knew that Garnett would run out, and Yao Ming's pressure would drop sharply, and such an easy inside line was a good opportunity to score.

The basketball fell into the penalty area at a very fast speed like a cannonball. Yao Ming was able to catch the basketball at his chest, but at this time, he poked a small hand from where he didn't know how to make the basketball move out of Yao Ming's receiving range again. When he looked along his arm, he turned out to be Pierce running from the other three-point line.

This change made the dog jump in the penalty area. Yao Ming was tall and turned slowly. He understood. He quickly ignored the ball route, but then shifted Pierce in a gear, not allowing him to continue to grab the ball. When Perkins saw this situation, he was no longer competing for position with Yao Ming, but ran towards the basketball. At this time, Turiav also quickly followed.

Perkins had already caught the basketball with one hand, but Turiav had half a seat stuck before him. When he heard a shout, he didn't care about it and changed the direction of the basketball again with the tip of his hand. Garnett, who was tall and powerful, took the basketball in his arms.

It looked very slow, but the pace of the field was very fast, only in just a dozen seconds. Kobe knew that the first attack had been lost when he saw this situation and was about to retreat. When he saw that Garnett actually threw his big hand and smashed the basketball towards their front court.

‘Not good’ Kobe immediately turned around and said, “Damn it” and rushed to chase him.

Ace's explosive power did not deteriorate at this time, but Livingston was not slow either. He followed him tightly. As long as Ace stopped, he could detour ahead to stop him, at least delay time. However, Livingston would not do this. He understood that as a defender, his nerves would definitely not reflect Ace's reaction, so what he had to do now was to follow Ace tightly, wait for him to make a mistake, or directly block it from behind.

He understood that Ace, who was running ahead, also understood that after Ace got a long pass, he deliberately stopped in front of the three-point line for a short moment, trying to deceive Livingston behind him to take off, but the opponent was not good enough. He didn't stop and directly dribbled the ball into the three-point line again.

At this time, Kobe had just rushed through the center line, and after the first round of competition Ace and Sean Livingston knew, he had already rushed into the lottery area.

‘Dunk? Strong momentum? Well, a good choice.’ At this time, Ace, who was running in front, was not afraid that Sean would suddenly rush to him. If he rushed to the front, it was exactly as Ace wanted. The two of them didn’t want to run desperately when they first started chasing the ball, but slowed down. With Sean Livingston’s physical fitness, they could now surpass Ace to form a defensive position, but both sides continued to maintain this.

Ace stepped across the free throw line in one step, and before the second step was landed, he had already grabbed the basketball with his hands. At this time, Sean Livingston followed Ace's footsteps and also stepped across the free throw line at the same time.

In the second step, Ace had already stepped on the wooden floor firmly, then his thighs were exerted and he jumped up directly, and Sean Livings followed him and jumped up with Ace.

As Ace grabbed the ball with one hand and was about to smash the basketball into the basket as the effect of stagnation, Sean Livingston also understood that Ace would never let go if the basketball didn't fall into the basket ring and would never give him a chance to block the air. However, he had been looking forward to the duel with Ace for more than a day or two, and he wanted to play his momentum.

Just as he watched Sean Livingston suddenly raise one hand, like a racket in Ace's hand, he wanted to block him directly. You should know that Sean Livingston is much taller than Ace, and has a taller and longer arms. The thug has been pressing to the basketball.

"don't want"

"Beep"

"hey-hey"

Three voices sounded in Sean Livingston's ears, and he saw that he had already felt the rubber touch of the basketball, and then suddenly disappeared. When he and Ace landed at the same time, the basketball was slowly climbing towards the basket.

"Clang" the basketball hit the basket ring.

"Swish" then fell into the Nets.

"Phone, you're too young." Ace raised his eyebrows at Sean Livingston and touched him, and then he tidied up his clothes and walked towards the free throw line.

At this time, Sean Livingston understood when he looked back at the big screen. The moment Ace touched the basketball, he suddenly stopped when he heard the referee's whistle, and then a change of hand basket was called out by Kobe. He understood when he combined with Ace's previous actions. Ace was deliberately lying to him for a foul, and then a free throw. If you don't block, then you dunk hard. If the block is blocking, that is a free throw.

"The Lakers' No. 19 foul, the goal is counted, and one free throw is added." The referee's voice was also directly sentenced after the two landed.

"This is just beginning." Sean Livingston raised his hand without any attention, as if the referee had signaled.

"Stupid brat, it's so cunning." Pierce ran over and hit Ace and said with a smile.

"It's just a trick of a high school student," Ace said deliberately loudly, making it clear for everyone standing on both sides of the free throw line. However, Sean Livingston was not angry at all.

The two-round confrontation between Ace and Sean Livingston finally successfully scored a point under the opponent's impatience. This is also the first confrontation between the two top defenders in the league in the future. At this moment, the two of them still don't know that the two will be the first collision between the king of point guards in the future.

"Hey hey, Kevin, come here to grab the rebound, let's score 5 points," Ace shouted at Garnett, who was hiding in the backcourt at this time.

"Stop talking, hurry up and free throws," Kevin Garnett shouted at Ace.

"Tsk, unrighteous guy." After Ace was given to the referee, he stretched out his arms and kicked his legs, and he was not in a hurry at all. You should know that the ball time was 5 seconds, Ace deliberately spent 1ng, and Pierce stared at him on the side of the Celtics, which meant that 'If you can't shoot, you'd like to look good' and Perkins was the only one in the team to actively grab the position and get the frontcourt rebounds.

Ace also deliberately used voice to hit the Lakers' sense of urgency, which was to force them to concentrate on waiting for his free throws and anticipate rebounds, so as not to let them relax for a moment. This is a tactic, a mental tactic.

In fact, both sides understand what Ace means, but this is what he said to you, and you can't do it without doing it. If the Celtics really grab a frontcourt rebound, it would be like losing two points at the beginning and then having to defend for a round. It's really possible to score 5 points.

"Swish"

The ball was very straightforward, and the basketball fell directly into the net, causing the people under the rebound to squeeze into a group, especially Perkins and Yao Mingturiav.

Although the basketball free throws, everyone also starts to run. 3: It is indeed Ace's style. If there are 4 points, Ace will definitely practice long-distance shooting. After everyone retreats, Sean Livingston, Turiav and Ace are left in the frontcourt who hold the ball.

They were all very familiar with each other. Ace's full-game press had become his personal signature. Turiav ran forward slowly after finishing the baseline ball, and his running route was also blocked in front of Ace. After the two of them had touched each other, Turiav immediately stepped on his hands and then slowly passed by.

These are all small tricks, just to give Shawn Livingston the space behind him to block the ball, which is a bit of a sudden. This is also a common practice in the league. After missing Turiav, Ace directly forced Shawn Livingston to do so, but the opponent slipped like a loach. After a few fake moves, he added solid basic skills and led the ball across the center line with Ace. At this time, Ace slowly let go of the space and retreated to the three-point line to be on the verge of the front line.

"Guide Zhang, is Sean Livingston's dribbling too much? After crossing the center line, Ace released the space and let him drive the ball and press the front," Yang Jian asked while sitting in the live broadcast room.

"Actually, this is not a problem for both sides. Any defender will let go after the opponent dribbles the ball across the center line and then retreats to the three-point line. If he continues to press tightly, his defense will miss it. So it is natural for Ace to do this. However, Ace's full-game press is still very effective. He can rely on this to gain a foothold on the court. If it is not only attacking power and no defense, you will not let you first," explained Coach Zhang.

"Oh, then in your opinion, what are the advantages of both sides' heights?" Yang Jian asked again. In fact, his words were also asked by fans who came to see the stars, and asked these fake balls sitting on the side of the court to make up for basketball knowledge.

"The lineups of both sides seem to be relatively complete teams in the NB league today. As for superstars, both sides are equal to Qihoo, so there is no need to say more. The combination of the two teams is also extremely similar. Yao Ming and Garnett in the inside are both dominant insiders, while Pierce and Ace in the outside, Kobe and Sean Livingston in the outside have the same effect." Director Zhang said smugly.

After he said this, he was cursing nonsense after listening to his explanation, and some people even mute the TV and are too lazy to listen to this guy clamor.

"But in comparison, I'm still optimistic about the Celtics," said Director Zhang after listening.

"Is it because of Ace?"

"Yes, his three-pointer is really unsolvable. There is no way to effectively curb the NB league so far. So if you want to decide the winner today, it depends on Ace's attack power, or how much attack power is allocated to him." Director Zhang grabbed the key point and said.
