Chapter 192: Role Player Explosion!
Pierce scored a terrifying 21 points in a single quarter, which is Pierce's new high in single quarter scoring this season, while Wang Chao only scored 6 points.
However.
Even though Pierce's state was exploding and his hand feeling was overwhelming, Wang Chao's state seemed to be average, and only 6 points were recorded, but the point difference between the two teams did not widen.
In the first quarter contest between No. 5 in the Eastern Conference and No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, they were only [-] points behind when Pierce exploded. This is something that everyone did not expect.
But it was something that the two teams expected.
Because Wang Chao sent out 11 assists in a single quarter, the huge point difference that might appear in life was strangled in the cradle.
The second quarter begins.
Wang Chao rested, and Outlaw played with four substitutes.
For the Celtics, the starters also rested, and Ray Allen brought Daniels, Eldon and other 4 substitutes on the field.
Ray Allen, against Outlaw, who has not yet grown up, obviously has the upper hand, even a little crushed, while the other bench lineups, Daniels and Eldon, who averaged 10+ points per game, are not bad. .
Even compared to Damai, Farmar and others, they are no different.
Whether it is offense or the smoothness of running the ball, the Celtics are better than the Nets.
Between No. [-] in the East and No. [-] in the East, the difference in the depth of the bench lineup was instantly reflected, and the difference was several grades.
That's what the powerhouse teams are.
There are many strong players in the main force, and one of them will come out and play with a substitute who is not weak at all. The strength will double in an instant, and the score will be increased in one fell swoop during the lineup rotation stage.
The most typical defending champion in the next few years: Golden State Warriors.
In Warriors games, there are always stars on the field.
Yes, it's not as simple as starting, but the stars, because the powerful Warriors have four All-Star players and even two super giants at the MVP level in the regular season.
Simply perverted.
Just imagine what it feels like to be on the bench when facing the two All-Stars from the Warriors during the rotation of the bench. It is simply desperate.
You must know that their entire team may only have one All-Star, and the Warriors only have two stars on the bench, so what's the point of playing.
Can only look at being beaten.
The strength of the warriors is outrageous!
And this season's Celtics have the strength to hit the championship, and their bench lineup is also extremely good.
However.
Just when everyone thought that the Nets' substitute was about to be beaten, Outlaw stood up.
First, with the help of a screen, he went to the basket and hit the rebound against the mid hook.
Then he cut into the basket and scored the ball, then ran back to the right corner, received the pass, threw a 3-pointer, and made a hit.
Next is the same position, Outlaw made a three-pointer and hit again.
Ushering in a big explosion, the reason why Outlaw can feel so hot has a lot to do with Wang Chao's assist in the first quarter.
At this moment, Outlaw, who was so confident, hit the top of the arc on the left side, facing the defense, and shot another 3-pointer, making a cold-blooded hit.
within half a quarter.
Outlaw made 9 of 5 shots, made all 3 three-pointers, and added two free throws. He scored an astonishing 15 points and resisted the Celtics' rapid offensive.
"What's the situation with this guy? Why is he so fierce?"
Ray Allen looked surprised.
It's okay for Wang Chao to be scary, after all, it's not a day or two, but this Outlaw, he remembers his performance has always been mediocre.
It's good to be able to average 10 points per game. Obviously, he scored 15 points in half a quarter. Such an explosion, such potential, is really surprising.
In half a quarter, the Nets and the Celtics were 55 points apart, and the score was not further expanded, and even recovered one point.
Nets (47): (51) Celtics.
"Beep beep!"
The Celtics called a timeout.
It's a substitution timeout, with the starters on both sides getting ready to play.
"Nice job!"
"Tyrese played really well tonight."
Lopez and Morrow shouted excitedly, and Outlaw's performance-like score made them speak straight.
Johnson also nodded in praise: "Yes, facing the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, he can still be so stable and have made great progress."
After finishing speaking, Johnson looked at everyone and said seriously: "Everyone has performed very well, but we need to maintain it. The game has just begun."
"Oh~".
"Beep beep!"
The timeout ended and both teams started to play.
The Nets kept the fiery Outlaw on the court and let Damai continue to rest.
As for the Celtics, Ray Allen went off to rest, Robinson continued to play as a substitute, and defender West replaced Rondo to play.
The game continues.
Celtics possession.
Pierce held the ball across half court, facing Outlaw's defense, broke through from the top of the left arc, dribbled the ball with his back continuously, shook Outlaw's center of gravity, and broke through again with the ball in his left hand.
"Whoosh!"
During the acceleration, he threw away Outlaw's defense, and threw a mid-range shot from the bottom line. Then hit.
It just feels so hot and unstoppable.
Netball rights.
The three Nets players passed the basketball back and forth at the top of the arc, and finally found the position. Wang Chao, who made an air-cut free throw, received the ball, facing Garnett's defense, and made a throw in the first area.
Garnett serves from the baseline.
Pierce took possession of the ball for half the court, almost at the top of the arc, Outlaw and McGrady stepped forward.
Double team.
Yes, the Nets changed their tactics and increased their defense against the fiery Pierce.
The pair double-teamed Pierce directly on the three-point line, so that he had no chance to reach the basket.
"Snapped!"
After Pierce was forced, he distributed the basketball to West, who was in the high position on the left. Farmar immediately stepped forward to help defend. McGrady also retreated quickly when he saw that Pierce had no ball in his hands.
After receiving the ball, West made a lob and passed the basketball to O'Neal under the basket.
"Bang bang bang!"
Jermaine O'Neal held the ball and hit Lopez with his back under the basket. After a few steps, he turned and leaned back and made a shot. This ball, Lopez's defense was no problem.
can enter!
That is personal talent and ability.
Immediately afterwards, Robinson finally got rid of Wang Chao with the help of West and Garnett's double screen, and got the first open shot of the game.
He raised his hand at the top of the arc and shot a 3-pointer.
"Shh!"
hit.
There were only 3 shots in the game. The first two shots were interfered by Wang Chao, and he missed the hit. He felt very bad, and even a little cold. This third time, he made an open shot and hit it.
It is also a powerful personal talent.
Immediately afterwards, Garnett created scoring opportunities for West twice in a row. West failed for a layup for the first time, and made a three-pointer for the second time.
As for Pierce, the offense was obviously not as fast as the first quarter. Being double-teamed was one aspect, and it was also to save energy and lay the foundation for the explosion in the second half.
But despite this, his offense is still strong.
"The Celtics are still strong. Jermaine O'Neal and others almost didn't have a chance to shoot in the first quarter. Now they are still able to output steadily and score steadily. This is what a strong team should have."
