Chapter 189 [Tremble, fat people]

Many people say that Phil Jackson's tactics are rigid. In fact, he often makes targeted arrangements, but he rarely responds on the spot. He said everything he should say before the game in the locker room.

Today Jackson changed George's position again. He is a pirated player. He has strong mobility in playing No. 4 position and can defend the opponent's powerful small forward. He played for 4 minutes in the first quarter and defended against Pierce well. If he played as a shooting guard, George would have a clear physical advantage when attacking.

After George stood there, Crawford was a little nervous. George's bulging muscles looked very strong at first glance. He was a whole size bigger than Crawford, who was 196cm tall and weighed 90 kilograms.

The more stressed is the Celtics substitute point guard Peracio, who is 23 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 88 kilograms. He entered the NBA in the non-draft pick. He played 75 games for the Grizzlies last season, averaged only 7.4 minutes per game, scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 0.9 assists.

Originally, Perasio was a marginal player in the Celtics. Kenny Anderson was short of the No. 1 position after being traded. He relied on his defensive attitude to become a rotation substitute for about 20 minutes per game, but still had no data, averaging 5.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

Last year, Peracio and Guo Xu competed in the summer league. He was no match at that time and was beaten up. Guo Xu didn't remember that there was such a person who was too ordinary and had no characteristics.

The game continues, and the Lakers attack first.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and asked Horry to pull out the cover from the three-point line. Madson was preparing to grab a rebound at a low post. Although Horry was not very heavy, he had rich experience in the game. He blocked the person two steps outside the three-point line and accurately stuck his position.

Guo Xu completely got rid of the point guard defense with the ball, and made a quick stop in the middle and jumped for a three-pointer. Power forward Walker replaced the defense one step slower, and the ball was hollowed into the net! 26 to 22.

Guo Xu's shot was stress-free, there was no interference in front of him, and it was as simple as training.

The Celtics attacked, and all the players were pulled away. Crawford and Walker also played a simple pick-and-roll, attracting Horry to replace the defense and force a layup. Horry followed up and jumped to interfere with the ball and missed it.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Horry often made changes in order to adapt to the needs of the team, from a small forward when he first entered the league to a power forward, from a "offensive point" to a "defensive expert", from "defending pick-and-roll" to gaining weight and "defending low posts", Horry was always doing what the team needed him to do.

He is now light in weight, has poor ability to fight, is not good at the counter-attack area, and is better at pick-and-roll defense. Later, he became stronger in the Spurs and can still play a role at the age of 35.

Madson won the backcourt rebound, the Lakers' positional battle, and Guo Xu beat the tactics just now again.

Horry covered Guo Xu by two meters away from the three-point line, and Walker did not defend himself and stood near the free throw line.

Guo Xu accelerated to get rid of the defender's defense, made a quick stop and jump shot in the middle, and made another three-pointer at the same position. 29 to 22.

Joe McDonal, a commentator at Los Angeles Sports Station, smiled and said: "It's still Jason Guo Li who made two long shots in a row to open the score. He is so suitable for pick-and-roll, and he can break through and shoot. Fisher can't compare with this."

Partner Charlie Parsley said: "The Celtics have never made it to the playoffs after 1995. As a traditional giant, they have performed too poorly in recent years. Walker is not a qualified leader, and Pierce is not."

The leader must have the ability to drive the whole team, of course Walker is not. He quickly proved this. He took the ball to take a step forward from the outside, and faced with Horry, and the ball bounced out of the box.

His style of play was not tactical at all, and his choice was too bad, so Madson grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Guo Xu brought him to the frontcourt and played pick-and-roll with Horry. This time Walker defended, and Guo Xu lowered his center of gravity and led him towards him. When he was about to hit, he slapped the ball with his right hand and took another big step to change the ball with his left hand. He suddenly changed direction to the left and completely passed Walker. He took the free throw line a step forward before center Vitali made up for defense.

31 to 22, Guo Xu scored 8 points in a row.

Now Guo Xu's throwing is not a unique skill. If he is close to his body, he cannot guarantee his hit rate. After occasionally breaking through, he can show off his rhythm. It is very useful when avoiding big men to make up for defense.

The Celtics attacked, and Walker hit a pick-and-roll and asked for the ball on the right side outside the three-point line. Crawford passed the ball. Walker scored a three-pointer against George, who was replaced, and he missed it again. Bowen grabbed the rebound and passed it to Guo Xu.

Without waiting for his teammates, Guo Xu directly made a quick attack alone, dribbled the ball from outside the three-point line and gave it to his left hand. Then he changed direction to the right and passed Perasio by speed, attracting Crawford to make up for defense and throw it away to the rebound.

Crawford thought he had defended it, and the power of the board was obviously too great to score. As a result, he turned his head and saw George flying up, receiving the rebound ball, receiving the ball with his hands and receiving the bounce ball and hitting the ball.

33 to 22, Guo Xu was the first assist and led the team to a 10 to 0 wave.

Celtics coach Jim O'Brien hurriedly requested a timeout, unable to defend Guo Xu's words, the Celtics will undoubtedly lose today.

Charlie said: "Bryant who is watching the game at home can rest assured. Jason took on the task of offense from the outside. He did better than he thought. If the Celtics didn't double-team, I think he would have a big explosion today and it would not be difficult to score 30+ points."

Joe exclaimed: "Jason is not only strong in personal offensive ability, but also very smart in playing basketball. His cooperation with his teammates has become more and more tacit, and role players can also play around him."

After O'Brien called for a timeout, he did not make any major adjustments in tactical aspects. He just let the heavy inside Vitali get out of the field and replace Walter McArty, who is 208cm tall and 104kg.

This guy is a member of the Golden Generation in 1996. He was selected by the Knicks in the first round and traded to the Celtics after a year of playing. He can be said to be Walker's apprentice. He especially likes to shoot outside, has a low shooting rate and poor rebounding ability. His advantage is his fast movement speed.

Mikati appeared to open up space to attack, and to defend against pick-and-roll.

After Rick Pitino was fired, assistant coach O'Brien temporarily served as the head coach of the Celtics. He took over a mess and could not make the team tied together for the time being. The two stars were happy to swipe data on the offensive end, and the coach could not fight even if he wanted to arrange complex tactics.

O'Brien was a little dissatisfied with Antoine Walker but could not control him. This season, Walker was infatuated, averaging 7.4 three-pointers per game, a three-point shooting percentage of 36.5%, and an overall shooting percentage of only 41%. If you have such an inside core in the team, I would like to ask if you are afraid?

Walker was selected by the Celtics in 1996. When he first entered the league, he was a muscular man, 203cm tall and weighed 102 kilograms. He was an all-around fighter who could play in five positions. In the 1997-98 season, he scored 22.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks, and was selected into the All-Star Game.

But now, Walker has become a fat man who is 206cm tall and weighs 111 kilograms. Although he is not too big, he has a lot of fat, and his muscle lines cannot be seen on his arms, and his stomach can be seen. And he has the most flesh on his butt, and he twists and twists when running, just like Andy Lau's Minnan song, "I am the world's number one ass"!

Another star in the Celtics, Pierce, is not thin either, he is 201cm tall and weighs 107 kilograms; and substitute center Vitali, who is 208cm tall and weighs 127 kilograms.
