367 Air strikes on Boston

The referee's whistle sounded, and the players from both sides began to enter the court.

The Pistons' starting five tigers: center Ben Wallace, power forward Greg Monroe, small forward Andre Iguodala, shooting guard Tracy McGrady, and organization guard Zhou Yi.

The Celtics' starting lineup: center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Paul Pierce, shooting guard Ray Allen, and organizational defender Rajon Rondo.

Kevin Garnett and Greg Monroe, standing in the middle circle, looked at each other coldly, "popping" with super bounce and rich experience, allowing Kevin Garnett to get the ball first.

Rajon Rondo had just obtained the ball, but he didn't even pass the midfield, and he handed it directly to Paul Pierce in front.

"She" and the violent friction sound, Paul Pierce stopped and turned around, cleverly squeezed out McGrady, who was defending him. Paul Pierce is one of the few comprehensive players in the league, and he is more competent in the number one position to the number three position. Moreover, he has a tough earth style, so it is really difficult for ordinary defenders to defend him.

At this time, Greg Monroe was still entangled with Kevin Garnett, and the Pistons had empty baskets. Zhou Yi was anxious and immediately stepped forward to make up for the position. As for the empty spots he left, I hope others can make up for it in time.

Paul Pierce's figure shrank, and the speed of breakthrough did not slow down at all.

"It seems that he has to rely on his body to force me to eat." Zhou Yi thought in his mind.

With a sharp turn of mind, Zhou Yi's physical ability to fight is good, but that's just among the defenders. Facing this famous tough guy player in the league, Zhou Yi will not be so arrogant that he attacks the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings. Moreover, depending on the opponent's breakthrough speed, frontal defense is not the most appropriate way.

"Hmph", he groaned. He simply wondered if Paul Pierce's body was made of granite. It was so hard that his enough force was completely discharged from his violent impact. He also had unstable feet and took a few quick steps to barely maintain his balance.

Fortunately, everything was not without gains. I didn't move at all just now, and I took the initiative to raise my hands over my shoulders. With such obvious moves, as long as the referee's eyes are fine, an offensive foul is indispensable.

"Swish", the crisp sound of the net made Zhou Yi frown.

"Aren't you supposed to be a foul on the offensive? Did I make a mistake in my judgment?" But when Zhou Yi saw 2:0 on the scoreboard, Zhou Yi realized that he had made a mistake in his judgment just now and was deceived by Paul Pierce. He didn't know when he had passed the ball.

Several Celtic players clapped and celebrated with Ray Allen. It seemed that this goal was shot by Ray Allen.

"Swish", McGrady made a three-pointer from the right wing. Unexpectedly, the Celtics' outside defense was so vulnerable. McGrady just got the shot gap by just a counter-run.

Rajon Rondo didn't wait for the Pistons' defensive players to force the ball up and quickly passed it out. Kevin Garnett had already reached a high position, and Ray Allen and Paul Pierce quickly penetrated into the inside like arrows.

For the Celtics, the Pistons had sufficient preparations before the game. Kevin Garnett went to the high position, attracted the opponent's defense, and played pick-and-roll for his teammates, handed the ball to his teammates, and Kevin Garnett rushed to the basket again. This is one of the most commonly used and practical tricks of the Celtics since the gathering of the Big Three.

As the top scorer in the league, Ray Allen is also a relatively comprehensive player. However, in recent seasons, his outstanding performance outside the three-point line has become increasingly defined by fans as a shooter. His running position and sense of opportunity are absolutely unparalleled. As long as he gives a slight gap, his three-pointer will penetrate the opponent's heart like a sharp sword.

Paul Pierce's excellent breakthrough ability, tough play, and realistic fake moves allow him to have excellent scoring skills in the inside. Moreover, even if he can't succeed, Kevin Garnett, who follows closely behind, will make up for a fatal blow.

Besides, as long as the three of them really run, almost all the opponent's defense has attracted them. As long as other players are not fools, they can easily run out of opportunities.

Zhou Yi quickly followed Ray Allen. Paul Pierce's tough style was not something Zhou Yi could compete with. Although his defensive skills could make up for his shortcomings, with Andre Iguodala now, John Custer naturally would not use Zhou Yi to defend Paul Pierce.

After his figure was down, Paul Pierce easily caught the basketball and pushed it gently to Andre Iguodala. The ball quickly flew out of the three-point line. After Rajon Rondo received the ball, he quickly advanced two steps forward. However, in these two short steps, McGrady had already made up the position.

The Celtics' great opportunity was missed in vain.

In fact, someone may wonder that Rajon Rondo made such an open shot without receiving the ball, giving McGrady a chance to make up for defense. In fact, this is not surprising. Although Rajon Rondo is a defender and his overall shooting in the regular season reached 49.1%, his three-point shot was a big draw.

Seeing that there was almost no shooting opportunity, Rajon Rondo handed the ball to the inside Kevin Garnett.

The Celtics' style of playing is simple, but the strength of the Big Three is enough to make up for everything. The Pistons' excellent defense resolved the Celtics' offensive, but the ball was in the hands of Kevin Garnett, and the Pistons' inside line was going to go through the test again. Kevin Garnett's strength is very afraid. Although he is old, his experience and skills are more abundant and refined.

Kevin Garnett held the ball in his right hand, Greg Monroe stuck in Kevin Garnett's waist with one hand, raised his hands high, and was highly focused, guarding against Kevin Garnett's move.

Shrugged, twisted his waist, and bullied Greg Monroe lightly and domineeringly. Kevin Garnett approached the basket step by step. When Greg Monroe's right foot stepped into the three-second zone, Kevin Garnett shrank, his left foot gently lifted, and turned around in the air and leaned back and jumped up.

Greg Monroe was caught off guard, roared angrily, and jumped high with all his strength, but everything was too late, and he could only watch the basketball fly over his head.

"Swish", the crisp sound of the net made Greg Monroe sigh helplessly.

A blue figure swept across the center line like a hurricane, with extremely exaggerated body movements, the basketball jumped happily on his fingers and shoulders, and his sharp eyes could not escape his observation.

Paul Pierce rushed over like a fierce and evil spirit. Zhou Yi paused and his speed decreased significantly. Paul Pierce was delighted when he saw this. In the head-on collision just now, he had an absolute advantage in physical confrontation. It seemed that Zhou Yi was already worried about him. If a player subconsciously escaped the confrontation, it would definitely not be a good phenomenon.

Seeing that the two bodies were about to collide, a trace of surprise flashed in Paul Pierce's eyes. Zhou Yi lowered his body again, twisted his waist to avoid collision by slight difference. He had already passed through Paul Pierce's armpits, gently stretched his left hand on the floor, and his body quickly rushed out.

The fans of North Shore Garden looked at everything in front of them incredibly. The scene just now was like a juggling. Seeing that the two were about to collide, Zhou Yi appeared on the right side of the opponent with a convert. He pointed his left hand on the floor, which made the whole set of movement perfect.

After throwing away Paul Pierce, Zhou Yi plunged into the inside.

Kevin Garnett did not dare to be careless at all. Zhou Yi, who was marching, suddenly sent back his right hand with his right hand. Kevin Garnett was shocked and passed back, one of the best ways of passing Zhou Yi was good at.

Kevin Garnett had already realized that on his left, Greg Monroe had already rushed into the three-point line, and at this time there were no Celtic players around him.

The body quickly moved to the left, and stood in this position, whether Zhou Yi was passing or throwing, he could handle it calmly.

Zhou Yi's body rose up in the air and gently sent the ball to the basket with his right hand. Kevin Garnett was delighted. Fortunately, he was not blinded by his illusion and moved. Kevin Garnett quickly rushed forward, and his right arm as slender as a spirit ape had already aimed at the ball in Zhou Yi's hand.

Kevin Garnett cried wildly in his heart. As basketball grew bigger and bigger in his eyes, his right hand even felt the unique atmosphere of basketball.

A little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, you can block the ball yourself.

But this little distance has become eternal for Kevin Garnett, and the basketball disappeared out of thin air at his reach.

Kevin Garnett, who was in the air, had a blank mind. He could not capture Zhou Yi's next move.

Greg Monroe rushed to the basket and looked at the two people colliding in the air. He didn't know what he should do. Suddenly a huge basketball appeared in front of him. His white palm gently pushed the ball on the back edge of the basketball and the ball fell into his hand.

After receiving the ball, Greg Monroe quickly took a step forward, jumped high, and paused hard in the air for a moment, suddenly exerted force, dunking the ball heavily into the basket.

After landing, Greg Monroe clenched his fists in front of his chest, and he screamed excitedly.

Rajon Rondo took a step inside the right wing three-point line and received a ball from Kevin Garnett. Before the Pistons could make up for defense, his ball had already hit.

The game continues, and both teams are constantly attacking in their own way. The three giants are in excellent condition. The simple cooperation between the three and their outstanding personal strength allow them to always easily score.

Fortunately, the Celtics' scoring method is quite monotonous, and the Pistons players are willing to run and defend actively, which greatly limits their performance, so the Pistons still barely lead the opponent by 1 point 14:13.

Doug Rivers called a timeout, and the Celtics had a slight advantage in the scene.

In today's game, it's really difficult for the Pistons to win. The Big Three are all in shape. In this case, the Celtics are almost invincible.

After the timeout, the Celtics replaced both outside players, and Van Weaver and another veteran came on the court, and the Celtics had more choices in offense.

The Pistons also replaced McGrady with Ben Gordon and took the opportunity to give McGrady a break.

Moreover, in the previous confrontation, Paul Pierce tried several times to rely on her physical strength to defeat Zhou Yi, making the Pistons' situation very passive, vigorous fighting spirit, extremely outstanding strength, speed, stealing ability and first-class defensive skills. Paul Paul Pierce's strength is at the top level in the league. Only physically qualified men like Ron Artest, LeBron James and Andre Iguodala can compete with him in terms of strength.

Paul Pierce is very similar to Andre Iguodala, but his offense is relatively comprehensive, and no scoring method appears in the league can be seen.

Andre Iguodala is better at defending than Paul Pierce, while Paul Pierce is generally just average in defense. Although his footsteps move fast and broken, his judgment on his opponent's offensive route is average and he does not know how to use this strength to create offensive fouls.

He has been in the league for many years. In theory, he should have good defensive experience. It can only be said that he does not have the talent of a first-level defender, or that he has not tried hard to practice defense, but despite this, with his outstanding physical fitness, he has also become a top striker who is always regarded as a nightmare by his opponent.

"Swish", Zhou Yi made a realistic and fake move and easily tricked Rajon Rondo into jumping up, moved his slid sideways, and easily jumped out. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the ball entered the net.

After McGrady's departure, Zhou Yi significantly strengthened his offense. Paul Pierce was pestered by Andre Iguodala. The two veterans of the Celtics could not keep up with Zhou Yi's footsteps, allowing him to easily get many mobile phone opportunities from the outside.

John Custer nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines. With Zhou Yi here, everything has a chance.

27:21, the score was pulled apart again, and there were thirty-two seconds left in the end of the first quarter.

After receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, Paul Pierce dropped the ball from Kevin Garnett and threw the defense Andre Iguodala out of the box and rushed into the inside. However, when he saw Greg Monroe and Spencer Hawyth who were waiting for the inside, he quickly turned sideways and quickly handed the ball to Van Weaver on the right wing.

Van Weaver had already waited outside the three-point line, adjusted a little after receiving the ball, and easily threw the ball out without defense.

"Swish", the ball enters the net with hollow!

With Ray Allen's fate, the Celtics' offense has become relatively diverse.

With sixteen seconds left in the first quarter, Zhou Yi skillfully controlled the ball and hovered near the midfield. Other players of the Pistons also opened up their positions, leaving Zhou Yi with space for singles.

Paul Pierce took the initiative to pull out to defend Zhou Yi several times, but Andre Iguodala firmly stuck his position, and even he ran back from the bottom line ended in vain with the help of Andre Iguodala.

As time flowed, the atmosphere in the North Shore Garden became extremely depressing. Cold sweat oozed out of Rajon Rondo's forehead, the corners of his eyes were trembling violently, and his mouth was tightly pursed.

"Bang", the ball slapped heavily on the floor, and the ball flew out quickly. At the same time, Zhou Yi rushed out like lightning, breaking through without warning. Rajon Rondo only felt cold all over. A black shadow flashed in front of him, and his limbs were suddenly cold.

After reaching the free throw line, Zhou Yi's light three-step basket made Kevin Garnett's spirit highly concentrated, and a sideways moved to the back of Greg Monroe. Zhou Yi had already hit the basket several times in a row.

"Not good..." Kevin Garnett yelled and rushed out quickly.

Taking the second step, Zhou Yi actually drifted in the air, and the ball in his hand was also gently thrown out.

Kevin Garnett roared, and gently supported his arms, pushing away Greg Monroe behind him. He bounced up like a volcano, and his right arm like a spirit ape was slapped out heavily.

The basketball flew naughtyly through his fingertips, and Kevin Garnett moaned weakly. He had already put all his strength into the jump just now, and his body could not help but watch the ball fly over his head.

"Swish", the crisp sound of the net was like a heavy hammer hitting Kevin Garnett's heart. Zhou Yi's slender figure was so tall in his eyes at this time.

He sighed secretly, turned around and walked towards the sidelines. As Zhou Yiqiu fell into the net bag, the referee's whistle sounded, and the first quarter was over.

29:24: With Zhou Yi's last-minute buzzer-beating goal, the Pistons once again widened the scores of both sides.

In a very exciting quarter, both teams played their own styles. The Pistons' defense was excellent, while Ray Allen only played half a quarter, so the winner is still hard to say, but the Pistons only maintain their current defense. Victory is definitely not a difficult task for them.

The five-point advantage did not make John Custer relax his vigilance. The Pistons had already played all the aces in the first quarter, and the team performed well on both offense and defense, but the opponent still had a lot of room for the opponent. Only two of the Big Three remained on the court. Ray Allen seemed to be the weakest among the three, but the name of the Gentleman Sword was not in vain. The elusive long shot made people really not very defensive, especially in the inside with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce attracting defense. The Pistons even struggled to focus on defense. In this way, his danger coefficient also increased in a geometric proportion.
