Chapter 159 The stuffy wild boy
When Rodman won the title of king of rebounds seven times in the NBA, he once said, "I never want to score, never." I just want to catch the rebound, because everyone is grabbing the score.
"I don't want to go back to the street, so I will try my best to catch every ball I can see."
Rodman's reason for focusing on defense is very simple and straightforward. It's not that he can't score, but he can't win the scoring champion for seven consecutive years like Master Joe.
But he has other ways to win a good contract. Rebounding is his weapon, and defense is his way to gain a foothold in the NBA, even if not many fans are willing to watch this dirty job.
"Big Ben" has been selected as the best defensive player in the NBA four times, thanks to this fanatical persistence.
At the beginning, he also thought he was an all-time talent, but after he met Oakley, he knew how to knock on the door of the NBA.
Learn to use your strong body, and then use your muscles to defeat your opponent. With the desperate attitude of defense, Wallace can gain a foothold in the NBA.
I don't want to go back to the streets to fool around. This is the most real psychological reaction of Wallace and Rodman, who came from poverty.
Since scoring can't help them win what they need in the NBA, they should defend desperately and then live in this league in this way.
Attitude determines everything, and details determine success or failure. This is Wallace's experience in playing in the NBA for ten years.
So he is desperate on the defensive end. No matter who he faces, he will tighten his muscles to fight with his opponent.
This time, Chen Feng met him head-on in a position battle, which was also considered to be a strong enough opponent.
If you want to put it on time, if ordinary people want to prevent Chen Feng, they will either foul or have to have a double bag clip. In this way, they may not be trapped.
But now Wallace has done it by himself. His tough physique is useful. There is nothing to avoid. It's just a hard fight.
It's not over if there are two contacts. In the whole second quarter, Chen Feng himself played five times in the inside line, one was covered, once hit the basket, and the remaining three times were only one-on-one.
That was the last time. Near the end of the second quarter, Chen Feng made a cover for Rondo near the free throw line, and then Ron used the block to directly hand the ball into his hand.
Originally, Rondo wanted to make a back run, and then asked Chen Feng to send the ball back. If he could find the gap on his side, he could either pass the ball or layup, and he would be more comfortable in the offensive choice.
But I didn't expect that Chen Feng grabbed the basketball at the free throw line and didn't pass it. Almost at the moment when Rdo ran back, he started with Wallace on his side.
Rondo over there ran for nothing. Rivers watched on the sidelines and almost didn't roar out, because Chen Feng was a little too reckless in singles this time and did not follow the tactics at all.
Wallace was also a little hesitant, especially when Rondo ran back, he almost moved his feet to kill the boy, but he waited for such a fierce impact as Chen Feng.
There was no preparation, but Wallace's reaction was fast enough. He subconsciously stepped down and held up Chen Feng's sprint with his shoulders.
In terms of the physical fitness of two people alone, it can be said that Wallace's muscles may be more powerful, but Chen Feng's explosive power is obviously better.
This time it was a very direct physical contact. Wallace sank down and resisted hard. Before he recovered, his footsteps were not stable. Chen Feng kicked the floor and exerted his strength twice.
A fierce little madman, such a domineering continuous force, Wallace could not withstand the second impact. After all, the interval was so short that he didn't have time to stand firm at all.
Squeeze through! Wallace also tried to seal Chen Feng in the internal test, but PJ Brown hadn't waited to come to fill the position. Chen Feng had already grabbed the basket fiercely.
After opening a gap, Chen Feng's whole offensive action was coherent and unstoppable, and he did not give the other party any opportunity to make up for defense at all.
It's just that Wallace's big hand wiped Chen Feng's arm and slipped, and Chen Feng didn't get the opportunity to score and penalty, and he was only a little short of fanning the wild boy's attack again.
The whistle at the end of the second quarter also sounded with Chen Feng shaking the basket. The Celtics were only one point ahead of their opponents, 45:44, and the two teams were completely in a fierce situation.
The Bulls led by one point in the first quarter, and the Celtics returned the point back in the second quarter, but the whole process of the second quarter was extremely difficult.
The Celtics only scored 17 points, and the Bulls also had a weak attack, with only 15 points.
In the whole second quarter, the two sides are fighting hard to defend, and few mobile phones can be retrieved. Like the first quarter, the fast attack or empty space is almost invisible.
The impenetrable defense, this is the posture that Rivers let the Celtics put on, firmly blocking the Bulls' outside trio, whether it is Hinrich's possession of the ball or the later Dujon's control.
West or Rondo, no matter who is on the court, they are desperate to pester the opponent. As long as the opponent can't control the ball comfortably, it will achieve the goal.
In fact, there is Rondo. Even if Cymridge controls the ball, he has to be very careful. As long as there is distraction, Rondo's long arm will touch over there and steal the basketball directly when he is not paying attention.
Du Hong is even more unlucky. Attacking is not his major in the first place. This time, he met Rondo, a psychopath who likes hand-to-hand combat defense. It is already a luxury to control the ball well.
Anyway, the point guard of the Bulls is unlucky. Whoever comes will have to be haunted by Rondo, a super ET. The whole organization of the Bulls basically depends on the shooting guard and the small striker.
But Gordon or Nossioni are not good at controlling the ball, and they have to face Tony Allen or Pierce's defense.
The reason why Tony Allen can replace Szebiak is that the defense is fierce enough. Rivers assigned him the task is to nail the opponent's shooting guard and don't let the opponent have a chance to take action easily.
In the first quarter, the opponent's attack was too fierce. Tony Allen was also weak in defense and often couldn't catch people.
The main Bulls rushed too fast in the first quarter. The Celtics want to retreat, and often fall without defense. They have finished shooting.
But this second quarter is completely different. The Bulls' rushing speed is forced to slow down, which gives Tony Allen a chance to perform his plaster magic, which is called a dead post.
Whether it's Gordon or Cynthias who returns to the shooting guard, as long as someone wanders in front of Tony Allen's eyes, this guy is like a dog skin plaster, and can stick to the other party.
This worries Gordon and Cymrich, and they have never touched such a clingy guy.
There's nothing we can do, because Rivers had given a death order before the start of the second quarter. If Tony Allen can't kill his opponent, he will immediately roll back to the bench and squat.
Originally, he had been a little sluggish in the first few games. Tony Allen didn't want to be scolded by Rivers again, so he had to fight. He even used the flying save.
Pierce's side is more straightforward. Anyway, Nosioni's physique is not as strong as him. On the offensive end, he can fight against the Argentine and return to the defensive end. He is also close to the opponent's defense.
Anyway, he can do whatever he can make the other party uncomfortable, which made the Argentine complain to the referee several times that Pierce fouled during physical contact.
Although this is at the home of the Bulls, the rhythm of such a position battle has a lot of physical contact, and the referee's whistle can't be blown so frequently.
And how can Pierce's guy who has been in the NBA for so long make some small moves under the table so obvious? At most, he makes his opponent suffer.
Anyway, Rivers said to his team members during the pause in the second quarter, "Prevent the interspersed cover of those guys, especially don't let them continue to throw the feel of the first quarter!"
Strictly guard against the outside line, this is Rivers' tactical arrangement, which is also a helpless way. Since the Bulls' inside line has no offensive firepower, they have to curb their outside line.
Rivers actually didn't plan to do this at the beginning, but the Celtics' side was the most powerful insider, because Chen Feng and Wallace were fighting, and they didn't play smoothly.
Chen Feng's side fought with Wallace, and Jefferson's side did not play easily. Roll Deng went down. The PJ Brown replaced was simply too slippery, especially in defense, and he was even more experienced.
Jefferson's physical fitness is good enough, and he has played in the NBA for three years. On the offensive side, this guy can occupy the starting position, and you can see how capable he is.
But PJ Brown's cunning guy didn't fight with Jefferson at all. He just pinched the opponent's offensive point and began to retreat.
Either wait for the other party to interfere, or use his body to push the other party as far as possible to the bottom line. If he really can't squeeze, he will try to get as close to Wallace and let the other party help make up for the position.
The two old guys inside the Bulls are completely using their more than ten years of experience to contain the Celtics' fierce partners.
But don't say it, the effect is really obvious. The Celtics attacked such a fierce insider in the first quarter does have a little bit of a sighing in this section.
Chen Feng's attack was not smooth, which seemed to infect Jefferson. He got a total of 6 points in the inside line, and Chen Feng scored a goal with Wallace in the last few seconds.
However, it was also because of this win that the Celtics were in the lead position and returned to the locker room, although their lead was only one point.
The Bulls fans were very unhappy, but they were also unhappy, and the wild boy who was still silent after returning to the locker room.
This is probably the most boring NBA game he has ever played, so he doesn't have the usual energy to go crazy and sits in front of the wardrobe without saying a word.
No one knows what he is thinking at this moment, just like a volcano, brewing...
