The old man talking is Paul Pierce Rasheed Wallace.

Although Kevin Garnett did not participate, his expression showed tacit approval.

Before the game, he also watched the discussion between fans about Lin Ri and him. Many fans supported Lin Ri to defeat Kevin Garnett.

This made Garnett very unhappy.

But Garnett himself also knows very well that he now only has a little bit of the tail of his peak period left.

And the guy he has to face, although he is only 19 years old, he is really young, but he is really fierce. If he were 5 years younger, he should not be afraid of this guy, but now, he must take it seriously...

and.

I didn’t ask them to target that newcomer!

That’s because they want to target the newcomer!

It’s none of Wolfwolf’s business~

Ray Allen just looked at it. His temperament prevented him from competing with a newcomer.

And Rajon Rondo is standing behind these veterans and learning how to become another veteran.

…

The game starts soon.

Lin hit a jump ball with Kevin Garnett.

"Wolf King" glared at Lin Ri.

How to understand his behavior? Well, let's put it this way, for him, this is a way to motivate his teammates.

Because when his momentum takes over, his teammates will definitely be inspired.

It was just a jump ball, but Lin Ri grabbed the ball.

Hey, this guy is interesting, he's not afraid of me!

No, watch me continue to glare at you!

Lin Ri didn't notice that Kevin Garnett's expression became more fierce when he looked at him.

According to Gentry, his main responsibility tonight is the defensive end.

But this does not mean that he can be "invisible" on the offensive end.

He still has to do something.

It's just that he is not the main attacker.

He can still help his teammates.

Just like now, Rajon Rondo entangled Steve Nash immediately after halftime. At this time, he could quickly move to the high post, pretend to pick and roll, forcing Rajon Rondo to pay attention.

his position.

This way Steve Nash can get rid of Rajon Rondo's defense more easily.

Sure enough, when Rajon Rondo caught a glimpse of the colors of the Suns jersey behind him, he immediately distanced himself from Steve Nash.

Retreating is called decisiveness.

This guy's basketball IQ is really...high!

Gentry looked at Rajon Rondo's action and muttered something.

Rajon Rondo is definitely not the kind of guy whose talent is immediately outstanding, otherwise he wouldn't have been selected with the 21st overall pick in 2006.

There are only two principles for draft selection. One is talent and the other is immediate combat ability. These two points are rigid standards.

Rajon Rondo did not account for any of these two points back then.

But judging from his current growth, he is destined to become the kind of player who "gets better as he gets older".

His brain is rare among point guards.

This is why Gentry thinks this guy has the potential to curb Steve Nash's performance.

but……

Fortunately I have the sun!

Lin Ri's movement saved Steve Nash a lot of energy by getting rid of Rajon Rondo.

It also made Gentry even more satisfied with Lin Ri.

Even if this guy is not the main attacker, he is definitely a presence that cannot be ignored on the court.

Hiss, if you want to put it this way, the sun’s basketball IQ is quite high!

If he hadn't had such a basketball IQ, how could he have moved like that just now?

I seem to have discovered Hua Dian!

"Whoosh!"

Steve Nash was able to direct the offense as usual, and the Suns successfully scored in the first attack.

Richardson successfully hit a mid-range shot.

"Defend, defend, defend quickly!"

If you have advantages, you must consolidate them.

Gentry immediately shouted towards the court, causing everyone in the Suns team to quickly return to defense.

However, the Celtics did not advance quickly.

A group of people slowly arrived at the front court.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He looked vaguely like the Spurs, like an old man going shopping.

As the main point guard, Rajon Rondo is even slower than them.

He was the last one to arrive in the frontcourt.

However, after reaching the frontcourt, his pass was very fast. After just a brief observation, he passed the ball to Paul Pierce who was coming from outside the three-point line.

Carmelo Anthony is called an "offensive kaleidoscope" by many experts.

But before he received this title, there was only one offensive kaleidoscope in the league, and that was Paul Pierce.

All kinds of personal offensive skills are very skillful.

Many times, the Celtics rely on his isolation to open up situations.

In this game, the Celtics didn't seem to change their style of play when facing the Suns.

Still planning to open the game with Paul Pierce's single.

When Paul Pierce faced Ariza with the ball, he looked very relaxed. Ariza is considered a very good wing defender in the league, but his defensive performance against Paul Pierce has never been very good.

At this moment, his expression became very solemn.

But unfortunately, his dignity cannot make him cause more interference when facing Paul Pierce.

Pierce approached Ariza with a back-to-back movement, pushed him towards the inside, and then suddenly released his strength, turned forward and pretended to break through to force Ariza back directly, and made a fadeaway jumper that looked very slow.

, and easily sent the ball into the basket.

Paul Pierce's shooting hand pointed to the floor and stepped back.

This is my home.

No one can guard me on my home court!

Trevor has also become a defensive vulnerability.

Fortunately!

Fortunately, the sun focused its main focus on the defensive end in this game.

Otherwise, the defense in tonight's game will be a piece of paper.

Gentry watched Pierce hit the shot so easily, and he was immediately glad that he had arranged the sun to work on the defensive end before the game.

Another guy with top shooting skills...

Such a guy must not be allowed to continue shooting.

"Let him break through!"

After seeing Pierce's shot, Lin Ri directly communicated with Ariza and defended this guy the same way he defended Kevin Durant!

Don't give him space to shoot, just force him to break through!

Ariza nodded.

Everyone has their nemesis.

For Ariza, his nemesis is an "old guy" like Pierce who has both tonnage and skills.

As for who is Pierce’s nemesis!
