The battle for the strongest small forward of the 188.96 generation!
Depend on!
Mohammad, Rahim, who learned from Liu Mang that sometimes roaring is needed for output and that roaring is sometimes more powerful for defense from Muhammad, discovered that there are actually others who also rely on roaring for output.
There's also a bit of intimacy.
The Celtics have a fast pace, and coach Jim O'Brien's system is good at increasing the speed. In the future, Iverson will reach new scoring heights under him when he has already begun a serious decline.
He had the highest field goal percentage when he was the scoring champion, won his fourth scoring title, and returned to the All-NBA First Team.
The short guard Kenny Anderson, who is 1.83 meters tall, runs very fast. When the Eagles lose the jump ball, they retreat quickly and get into a defensive position immediately.
Kenny Anderson is no longer the No. 2 pick ten years ago who could squander his talent with the ball. The Eagles' Raheem has to return to the free throw line at any time to help defend. There is also Ratliff under the basket, and the Eagles are defending in the penalty area.
Already well-known, Kenny Anderson scores mostly from the inside. He averages 0.6 three-pointers per game in his career and rarely shoots.
When the Nets and super power forward Derrick Coleman were both selected to the All-Stars, Kenny Anderson never thought that he would be traded away in the second season and then wander around. Now time has passed.
The edges and corners were erased, and there was no chance to break through the inside. The ball was immediately handed over to the team boss Antoine Walker.
Antoine Walker is very strong. In his sophomore year, he averaged 22 points, 10 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game, and was selected as an All-Star substitute.
Raheem was forgotten in the corner, which has a lot to do with Antoine Walker's All-Star performance in those years.
Raheem was originally in a assisting defensive position and immediately returned to Antoine Walker's side.
Antoine Walker is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 110 kilograms. With such a strong body, even Rahim is under a lot of pressure. Rahim is 3 centimeters taller but weighs two kilograms lighter, which is enough to see Antoine.
Just how strong is Wan Walker!
Just when Raheem was on guard and was very afraid of Antoine Walker's crushing breakthrough, Antoine Walker pulled up and hit a three-pointer!
Just 6 seconds have passed...
That is to say, Kenny Anderson received the ball and advanced it, and just handed it to Antoine Walker, who threw it without hesitation.
Rahim was shocked, but fortunately, this was just Antoine Walker's routine test of touch. He hit a three-point iron and Ratliff easily picked off the defensive rebound.
Tony Barty hardly competes for rebounds, and his rebounds are not as high as those of his two strikers.
The biggest feature of Coach O'Brien's team is that he always rebounds less than his opponents. He is probably the only head coach in NBA history whose team has never beaten the rebounding team no matter what lineup he coaches. In his 9-year coaching career, his team
He always averages fewer rebounds per game than his opponents.
The Celtics quickly retreated on defense. As the team with the fewest offensive rebounds in the league, they have long been accustomed to retreating directly after hitting the iron. Their average of 9.6 offensive rebounds per game ranked last in the league.
Jason Terry received Ratliff's pass and advanced, and Raheem dropped to the low post to get the ball.
It wasn't Antoine Walker who was on guard, but Pierce.
Unlike Raheem, who is now both the team's leading scorer and the leading perimeter defender, Antoine Walker is characterized by scoring and rebounding, and defense is his biggest weakness.
Pierce's defense was just average, mainly because he had a lazy attitude and didn't want to defend that much. In the early stages of his career, he was always exchanging blows with his opponents. When Garnett came and yelled a few times, he immediately became powerful when he got serious.
Already.
This is related to the team system. Now the team is mainly attacking. Pierce judged the direction of Rahim's turn, but he couldn't block it, so he didn't try hard. Rahim saw that Pierce was guarding him, so he turned around and directly deflected Pierce's throw.
Scored two points.
During the transition between offense and defense, the Celtics pushed forward. Antoine Walker was much more serious this time. An old friend bullied his "little brother", so of course he had to help his little brother get back on his feet!
In addition, not only Raheem wants to be named the best small forward of the 1996 golden generation, but Antoine Walker also wants to keep it!
After trying it out for the first time, he found that it felt average. Antoine Walker began to break through with his arms swinging!
There is a kind of player who you clearly know is going to break through, but you just can't stop him. The one you're talking about is Antoine Walker, a fat guy who's super flexible and too powerful!
Rahim couldn't hold it back for a while, so he tried his best to guide Antoine Walker towards the basket.
At this time, Pierce pulled out and took away Muhammad's defense. Antoine Walker rushed to the basket and made a flexible little turn. Even the fat on his body seemed to be fake, pulling Rahim and
Ratliff deceived him, forced a layup, and caused Ratliff a foul!
With this size, this strength, and this agility, if he were to play power forward in the paint, he would be too strong!
After scoring, Antoine Walker raised his orchid fingers, bent his knees and shook his legs, shrugged his shoulders and danced in an unusually girly but full of sultry celebration!
This celebration was performed really hard, seemingly even harder than the offensive scoring. It is worthy of being one of the legendary twin stars who spend 30% of their energy on partying, 20% of their energy on playing basketball, and 50% of their energy on celebrating!
So bad!
Even Liu Mang on the sidelines felt Antoine Walker's arrogance from half the stadium!
Rahim gritted his teeth and put his hands on his waist, there was really nothing he could do!
Muhammad may be able to withstand it, but Antoine Walker can pull out singles, and Muhammad cannot guard him, so the two of them can only switch defenses.
This is the key to the rise of the Celtics this year! When Pierce played shooting guard in the past, both of them were outside players to defend, which was relatively easy to guard. The main reason was that Antoine, who didn't like to go inside no matter how strong he was, was able to defend.
-Walker is a killer at this point. Even if Pierce scores 30 points per game, it is difficult to win too many games, let alone not win.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But now the two of them rotate infinitely at the third and fourth positions, and they both have physical advantages. They are both very strong and can shoot three-pointers.
It becomes extremely difficult to prevent.
There were boos everywhere, which made Raheem even more embarrassed.
Rahim didn't say much, he was ready to grab rebounds and have a hard time with Antoine Walker!
He pretended to be cool and pretended to be cool. Antoine Walker missed the extra free throw. His free throw percentage over the years was over 50%, but he had to go inside less and shoot fewer free throws. Otherwise, he would have made the coach mad.
Raheem overpowered Pierce, who was trying to remove his stool and go around to steal the rebound, and protected the rebound.
Similarly, if the opponent hits you, Rahim will pay it back!
It’s better to sit down and play! That means sitting in a low position and playing inside!
The style of play that Raheem likes is different from that of Antoine Walker who likes to do everything by himself. Raheem prefers to be a pure finishing point. The goal is to score when receiving the ball, with a clear positioning.
Jason Terry slowly advanced over to prevent the opponent from counterattacking, and the second team then counterattacked on their own. This is a characteristic of the Eagles. After Jason Terry came over, Rahim was already on the edge of the three-second zone.
Pressing Pierce for the ball, Jason Terry immediately passed it over. Raheem turned around and easily pushed away Pierce, taking a step to the basket!
Tony Barty came over to defend, and the rampaging Raheem ignored the opponent and smashed the ball into the basket through Tony Barty!
Tony Batila couldn't hold it back and was dunked alive! The referee's whistle sounded! 2 1!
It's back!
The fans at the scene were immediately released from their suppressed feelings due to Antoine Walker! The cheers at the scene finally came!
That is to say, there is no habit of shouting MVP these days. The blacksmith didn't score 81 points. When Liu Mang was excited, he always felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, he realized that the first player on the team made a free throw when he played a wonderful 2+1.
There was no MVP call, and I remembered that it was only after 2005 that Brother Blacksmith had a brutal scoring season.
Both Raheem and Antoine Walker got excited and started a bloodbath with their bayonets!
…
…
Usually Antoine Walker rarely goes inside, and he only shoots from mid- to long-range.
Can you imagine a power forward who is 2.03 meters tall, fat and weighs 110 kilograms, averaging 6 shots per game, more than half of which are three-pointers?
This is Antoine Walker, the god-level shooting king who averaged 3.1 three-pointers at a 34% field goal percentage per game. How dare you imagine that a team’s second-leading scorer has a 3.1% field goal percentage?
Less than thirty-nine?
But when he really returns to the style of breaking through inside and driving to the basket, Antoine Walker is really strong! No worse than Raheem!
If Antoine Walker focuses on basketball and choosing the right style of play, his offensive performance will not be worse than Raheem, and may even be better than Pierce. He will be selected as an All-Star in his second year and even in his rookie year.
There are many players who have been selected as All-Stars, but there are really not many second-year players who can be selected as All-Star substitutes, and they still beat Dennis Rodman and Chris Webber, who was just selected as an All-Star substitute in 1997.
The two teams entered a high-scoring mode in the first quarter. After the first quarter, Rahim scored 21 points and Antoine Walker scored 23 points. They were about the same. Rahim was slightly behind, but the Eagles scored 33 points.
6 points ahead of 27!
The main thing is rebounding! Muhammad and Ratliff worked together quietly to score 10 points on offensive rebounds.
The Hawks still have an advantage. Antoine Walker returns to play inside. There are definitely many benefits, but there are also disadvantages, that is, his organization on the outside is gone. He is the team's second scorer and first three-point shooter.
The team's assist leader, averaging 22 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season, his talent is really overflowing.
When Antoine Walker holds every ball in his hands and tries to pass the ball inside, the score is guaranteed, but the team's overall offense is worse.
Moreover, Antoine Walker has obviously begun to breathe. When flexibility can be guaranteed due to talent, the huge advantage brought by weight is also accompanied by a weakness in physical fitness. This is probably why he likes to shoot three-pointers so much.
, shooting three-pointers is much less labor-intensive than drilling inside.
The first quarter was played at a fast pace, and neither team made any substitutions. Coach Kruger looked at Liu Mang, who was looking forward to it, and waved his hand in disgust, and Liu Mang rushed onto the court excitedly.
Watching other people score so much makes me feel itchy!
Moreover, the rhythm of both teams is so fast, isn't this just suitable for Liu Mang!
Rahim has scored more than 20 points, and it's probably time to take a rest. He keeps digging inside. Although Rahim has better physical fitness and is not as sweaty as Antoine Walker, but his towel is soaked.
It is also impossible to chisel for 48 minutes.
start running!
The third young master, the nanny and the cool guy appear!
Seeing this lineup, the audience was already excited for half a quarter, and the fans who had booed for half a quarter did not hesitate to cheer loudly again!
Chapter completed!
