Chapter 577 The Celtics who are fully outputting the defense! 【Subscription】
In the next few minutes, Billups and Payton became the protagonists on the court. These two guys punched me and kicked me. They didn't have any fear of confrontation and elbows, but they seemed to enjoy it.
Billups is young, strong, energetic, and dares to fight, and he will not lose in the face of Payton.
Although Payton is old, he also has unparalleled experience. He is the ultimate form of the old ruffian, and he is not afraid of the youth storm of Billups.
When the first quarter played 7 minutes into the official time, the score between the two sides was temporarily 11:12, the Pistons temporarily led by one point, and Billups scored 7 points and 2 assists, playing the style of a top guard.
Payton used the all-around data of 5 points, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, so that the fans of the entire North Shore Garden will not regret the excellent performance of Billups.
On the Celtics' bench, Bird said lightly: "The 31st ceremony for meeting old friends, it's almost here! Next, it's time to let Chauncey know the pain of us being the enemy."
"Gary, you continue to defend Chauncey. Steve, always be ready to double-team. Lin, watch out for Stackhouse's rush, and watch out for Chauncey's passing lanes, no one knows this better than you. Ben, Rasheed, get me all of them out of the paint, I don't want to see them get an offensive rebound!"5
"Yes!" The Celtics did not rotate personnel, but continued the starting five-man combination.
After the tentative and regular defense of the opening, they will start a more targeted defense strategy!
The first offense at the start was the Celtics' possession of the ball. Lin Long pocketed the ball from the inside to the top of the arc, made a catch-and-shoot jumper easily, and hit a 3-pointer, which quickly overtook the score for the team.
Then, with a quick shout from Lin Long, the Celtics immediately formed a 1-3-1 audience.
Payton was at the top and continued to torment Billups. Lin Long, Jackson and Rasheed were near midfield, ready to intercept the Pistons' contact point. When Billups crossed the half court , Jackson suddenly rushed up to double-team him to defend, Billups looked six, and immediately made a cross, wanting to pass the ball to Stackhouse on the side before the double-team was completed.
But Billups had just shot the basketball, and Lin Long, who had been around him for a long time, had already rushed out, cut off Billups' pass, and then took big strides, rushing to the frontcourt with a gliding hack. buckle!
The fans at the scene immediately burst into overwhelming cheers and shouts!
In these two consecutive rounds, the Celtics got off to a fast start and scored 5 points in a row.
This is what the Celtics should be in!
"Chauncey, your pass is beautiful! Your pass is as good as when you were here!" Lin Long didn't forget to send a blessing to his old friend as he turned around.
The Pistons, who were beaten into a fast break, immediately adjusted their tactics under the command of Billups. Stackhouse returned to the half court and escorted the basketball through the half with Billups.
In the beginning, Stackhouse paid no attention to Jackson, a little-known guy who had just come up from the secondary league, and ignored him at all, but as soon as the two met, Stackhouse I felt a huge force coming!
Jackson's lateral movement is not fast, but his wingspan is long enough and his body is bumpy enough. In addition, he has been drinking with Payton almost every day since training camp, quickly absorbing the experience of the old ball ruffian and his defensive style. , Although today's Jackson is only 22 years old, he can defend like a 30-year-old mature veteran!
Stackhouse was entangled by Jackson tirelessly, but whenever he struggled to make a breakthrough from Jackson, Lin Long of the Celtics would rush over immediately and block in front of him. Tuckhouse immediately fell into a very difficult situation.
What makes Stackhouse even more uncomfortable is that as long as he hesitates a little, Jackson will immediately catch up, one after the other with Lin Long, and double-team himself!
Then two pairs of iron arms stretched out toward the basketball in his arms one after the other, like a robbery, snatching the basketball away!
And even if Stackhouse can score the ball in time and let Billups or Joe Smith attack, even if they succeed in rushing inside, facing Big Ben who is guarding the basket, they are powerless to resist!
Billups was hit by a blood cap from Big Ben and swiped the ball directly beyond the 3-point line.
Joe Smith also wanted to challenge Big Ben, but his strong muscles and strength made him unable to stand even, so he could only barely shoot, but he didn't even touch the basket.
In the last five minutes of the entire first quarter, facing the Celtics who suddenly increased their intensity and started targeted defense, and the Pistons who were able to play with them back and forth in the first half, they immediately became unable to play. .
Whether it is Billups, who knows the Celtics very well, or Stackhouse, the top scorer, they are completely unable to break through the defensive iron barrel set by the Celtics!
In the last five minutes of the entire first quarter, they made 0 of 5 shots, 1 point, and made 3 turnovers, all of which were seized by the Celtics and turned into fast breaks!
740 is tight on this one, and the Pistons lose to the Celtics by 6 points!
In addition to the fierceness and toughness of the defensive end, the Celtics did not pull down the offensive end in the slightest. Their offense was the same as the defense, and they played extremely fiercely. Whether it's Lin Long, Payton or Rashid, they can all score in singles, and even the two defensive blue-collars, Jackson and Big Ben, have found their own opportunities and successfully scored points!
In the end, in the first quarter of the game, the Celtics started five tigers to play the first quarter, and in the last 5 minutes, they also blasted a tough 19:0, which widened the point difference to 18 in one fell swoop. Minute!
And, they don't rely on Lin Long's powerful offensive ability or a player's sudden burst of touch, they rely on team defense and team offense!
Lin Long got 10 points, Payton 9 points, Rasheed 6 points, Jackson 3 points, Big Ben 2 points.
The starting five, although the division of labor is clear and each has their own tasks, but everyone has scored points, playing very balanced and team!
On the other hand, the Pistons, relying on the performance of Billups in the first half, could still lead the Celtics, but in the second half, not only was Billups completely held down, even Stackhouse and Joe Smith couldn't find any chance, no matter how to shoot and how to lose, he was completely beaten!
