Chapter 300 Rajon Rondo
Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert overcame Boston Celtics veteran Kevin Garnett for the opening jumper as referee Derek Stamford tossed the ball high. The first game of the Eastern Conference finals finally officially kicked off.
"We don't know for sure that this is the first time Roy Hibbert has won the opening jump ball in a playoff game. The only thing we know is that it is because of Roy Hibbert. Fighting hard will allow the Indiana Pacers to take the initiative at the beginning of the game!" said Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller, an on-site commentator in the Conseco Arena.
Xu Nuo received the ball and began to dribble forward.As soon as the Indiana Pacers launched their offensive, the Conseco Arena sounded a loud and clear charge horn, which was not present in the Conseco Arena before.
"It seems that the Indiana Pacers staff have made some changes to the live music. It seems that they think such music is a great boost to the morale of the players." Reggie Miller continued.
Amidst the loud blaring of the charge, the Indiana Pacers quickly launched an attack.After Xu Nuo dribbled to the front court, he immediately handed the ball to power forward David West. David West held the ball with his back to Brandon Bass. At the same time, the team's top scorer Danny · Granger uses Roy Hibbert to get out of the defense, catch the ball from David West, and sprint to the Boston Celtics hoop!
"Fill it!" Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo yelled.
If Kevin Garnett can be four or five years younger, then Kevin Garnett will definitely be able to stop Danny Granger from attacking. However, now that Kevin Garnett is old, his lateral movement speed has slowed down. By the time Vin Garnett reacts and begins to move, Danny Granger is driving to the Boston Celtics basket!
"Damn guy!" Kevin Garnett cursed under his breath.
Danny Granger scores a layup despite Kevin Garnett throwing his arms up and trying to stop Danny Granger from shooting, and at the same time draws a pushing foul on Kevin Garnett .
"Danny Granger hits a three-pointer!" Reggie Miller said loudly, "I really didn't expect that Danny Granger would get a chance to hit a three-pointer shortly after the start of the game." !"
Kevin Garnett kept shaking his bowed head, looking helpless.At this time, Kevin Garnett really felt that he was indeed old and could no longer resist the progress of young people.
And Danny Granger stood on the free throw line and made a steady extra free throw, opening the scoring for the game.
And as coach Larry Brown said before the game, the Boston Celtics' offense is completely controlled by point guard Rajon Rondo, and even the ace "Truth" Paul Pierce is waiting to pull the ball. Jane Rondo makes a pass for himself.Kevin Garnett mentioned the high post to set a pick-and-roll screen for Rajon Rondo, and Rajon Rondo immediately went around Kevin Garnett and rushed the ball towards the Indiana Pacers lane.
"Switch!" Xu Nuo shouted loudly.
After the Boston Celtics ran the pick-and-roll, the Indiana Pacers guarded Rajon Rondo and switched to center Roy Hibbert, while Promise stayed on the perimeter to guard Kevin Garnett.Instead of using his speed to pass Roy Hibbert, Rajon Rondo turned and passed the ball back to Kevin Garnett standing at the top of the lane.
"Although Kevin Garnett is old, his mid-range shot is still one of the most powerful offensive weapons of the Boston Celtics!" After Kevin Garnett received a pass from Rajon Rondo At the same time as the ball was played, the words that Coach Larry Brown said before the game immediately sounded in Xu Nuo's mind.
"It's really difficult for me to defend Kevin Garnett's mid-range shots. Kevin Garnett is tall and long. No matter how good my jumping ability is, I can't reach the ball!" Promised Said so in my heart.
Although Xu Nuo has tried his best to interfere with Kevin Garnett's mid-range jumper, the ball still passes high over Xu Nuo's fingers and "swipes" into the net.
"It's really hard to guard against!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
So, when the Boston Celtics continued to use pick-and-roll tactics in the next offense, they promised not to defend Kevin Garnett, but to continue to chase Rajon Rondo, center Roy Hibbert ran Out of the three-second zone, marking Kevin Garnett who has been firing from the outside.
"Hey, I'm following up this time..." Rajon Rondo thought in his heart when he saw that Xu Nuo chose to continue chasing him.So Rajon Rondo did not choose to pass the ball, but held the ball for a layup by himself.
"You don't want to score!" Xu Nuo said bitterly, stretching his arms and trying to block Rajon Rondo's layup.However, Rajon Rondo's arm is extremely long. When Rajon Rondo straightened his arm, Xu Nuo had no way to touch the ball in Rajon Rondo's hand.
"Damn it, I can't reach it..." Xu Nuo said bitterly in his heart.
Rajon Rondo, who avoided the promise to block the shot, didn't show mercy, and directly smashed the ball into the basket.Rajon Rondo didn't even look at Promise after scoring a dunk, and turned and ran toward his team's half court.
"This kid is getting more and more arrogant!" Xu Nuo looked at Rajon Rondo's back and gritted his teeth.
"It's okay, promise!" DeMar DeRozan, the shooting guard who came to the bottom line to serve, said to promise, "If Rajon Rondo can only choose to attack with the ball, maybe it's a good thing. !"
"Oh?" Xu Nuo frowned, while thinking about DeMar DeRozan's words, he took the ball from DeMar DeRozan's hands.
"If Rajon Rondo has to choose to attack with the ball, it means that Rajon Rondo has no way to pass the ball to his teammates. It means that we have cut off Rajon Rondo from the rest of the Boston Celtics. The connection between the players of the team." Xu Nuo thought in his heart, "In this way, the offensive rhythm of the Boston Celtics will be completely disrupted, and Rajon Rondo will not be able to organize an effective overall offense at all. With that said, we'll have a complete advantage over the Boston Celtics!"
When Xu Nuo came to the frontcourt with the ball and started one-on-one with Rajon Rondo, Xu Nuo already knew how he should deal with Rajon Rondo.
"Give it back to Rajon Rondo, promise!" team captain Danny Granger said in his heart.
Rajon Rondo's wingspan is quite long, even exceeding Rajon Rondo's own height.Because of this, Rajon Rondo's defensive area is quite large, and it is not easy to break through Rajon Rondo's defense.However, promise only a small breakthrough fake and an easy cross step breakthrough, and passed Rajon Rondo's defense.
"This kid is full of fake moves all over his body. It's really not easy!" Even though he was broken by his opponent, Rajon Rondo still did not forget to praise and promise in his heart.Immediately afterwards, Rajon Rondo turned quickly and chased promise hard.
"Damn it, I didn't get rid of him!" Seeing that Rajon Rondo was still closely behind him, Xu Nuo couldn't help saying bitterly in his heart.
However, what promises to face is not just Rajon Rondo behind him. In front of promises, the two major insiders of the Boston Celtics, Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass, have already been waiting. On the line that promised to break through. "Do you promise to choose to score a layup by yourself, or will you choose to pass the ball?" said the on-site commentator and Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller, "Judging from the current situation, it seems that passing is a A better choice."
However, Xu Nuo did not choose to pass the ball, but jumped high under the siege of three Boston Celtics players, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and Brandon Bass. Toss shot.Although Rajon Rondo behind Xu Nuo jumped up and tried his best to block Xu's shot, Rajon Rondo didn't even touch the skin of the ball.The ball flew high over the heads of Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass, passed through the net like a cannonball, and hit the floor with a "bang".
"Sure enough!" Danny Granger nodded with a smile.
On the defensive end, Xu Nuo no longer sticks to Rajon Rondo for defense as before, but puts Rajon Rondo one step away, and always pays attention to Rajon Rondo's breakthroughs. After all, Rajon Rondo's The mid-range and long-range shots are not very good.As a result, the Boston Celtics missed three consecutive offenses, and the Indiana Pacers at home took the opportunity to lead the away Boston Celtics by five points 11:6.
"It seems that they have studied Rajon's strengths and weaknesses quite thoroughly, just like we have studied them!" Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers thought in his mind.
After the Indiana Pacers took advantage of another Boston Celtics miss to score on a quick counterattack, coach Doc Rivers got up and called for a timeout.The problem for the Boston Celtics is not defensively, but offensively, with Rajon Rondo.
"From the beginning of the game, the Indiana Pacers at home showed that they can become the best team in the NBA!" said on-site commentator Reggie Miller, "For the old Boston Celtics It's going to be a tough game!"
