Chapter 190 Learning to grow in adversity!

"Boom!"

His feet fought, and Rondo fell directly to the floor.

"Shh!"

A crisp piercing sound followed!

"Shh!"

A crisp piercing sound resounded!

The ball goes into the net hollow, hit!

"Wow!"

"Dangling and falling!"

"Hey, it's too domineering!"

The moment the goal was scored, fierce cheers erupted from the audience, all surprised by Wang Chao's sudden stop that knocked Rondo down.

"As expected of a duel between top stars, Wang Chao and Pierce's breakthroughs are extremely sharp."

"Yeah, the game has just started, and the two of them put on an outstanding performance like the top ten goals, making this game ignite from the very beginning."

Yes.

The breakthroughs of the two were perfect.

but

Pierce just shook Damai James away, while Wang Chao knocked Rondo down directly. Obviously. This time, in the secret duel, Wang Chao took the lead.

Nets (2): Celtics (2).

However, in the two rounds just now, the atmosphere of the stadium was fully mobilized, and the morale of the two teams was also boosted by the brilliance of the core of their respective teams.

The game continues.

Celtics possession.

Rondo took possession of the ball and came to the half court, caught Garnett's screen, hit McGrady in a misplaced position, tried to pass him with speed, but to no avail, and immediately gave the ball to Pierce at the free throw line.

Pierce received the ball, made a tentative step, and pulled Damai James' right foot back the moment he stepped back.

"Shh!"

Middle distance. Go further.

Farmar brought it over and scored the ball to Wang Chao. Wang Chao made a breakthrough, attracted double-teams, and gave it to Damai James in the right corner. The opportunity came out.

But

Garnett, who can play forward and center, finally interfered with Damai James. This time, he missed a three-pointer.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and gave it directly to Pierce at the top of the arc.

Rush!

Celtic counterattack.

Pierce took the lead and rushed to the frontcourt. Facing the defense of Farmar and Lopez, he didn't panic at all, and went straight to the basket without even slowing down.

The left side holds the ball to the basket, holds the ball with both hands, lifts it above the head, flies up, uses the strong waist and abdomen strength, avoids the two people's blocks in the air, pulls the bar on the right side, and hits the board.

"Handsome!"

"Picturesque!"

"Your uncle will always be your uncle."

Pierce's one-on-two frontcourt is not at all cowardly, and the sharp breakthrough is so coquettish, it makes people sigh, and it is impossible to refuse.

"Cut~"

Farmar snorted in displeasure.

Obviously this ball did not prevent Pierce, which made him feel very annoyed.

Netball rights.

At the high position on the left, Wang Chao broke through with the ball in his left hand, made a sudden stop, and then accelerated again. A change of rhythm directly caused Rondo's feet to slip.

"Whoosh!"

One step passed Rondo and cut straight to the basket, O'Neal stepped forward to help defend, and Wang Chao directly turned his back to McGrady on the left baseline.

Empty seat!

but

When McGrady was catching the ball and shooting, Pierce defended and flew to block the shot.

"Bang!"

The ball is short.

"I thought Pierce wouldn't pounce on him. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been disturbed."

Maddie shook his head slightly.

However, the rebound was taken by Lopez. After a physical confrontation with O'Neal, he forced the hook under the basket and hit the rebound.

However.

Pierce immediately held the ball, rushed to the frontcourt, faced the defense of the three, forced a layup, and made the last ultra-high-arc high rebound and hit again.

and

cause a foul.

"Wow!"

The Celtics bench cheered.

"What happened to the truth today, why is it so aggressive?"

"No, the truth has always been very aggressive, and it's really accurate. As long as you take a shot, you can get the basket. He is in a very hot state today."

Smith and Barkley also faintly became excited because of Pierce's gorgeous breakthrough.

"Shh!"

Pierce made a free throw.

Nets possession of the ball.

In the next few rounds, Pierce's offense was still sharp and unstoppable, scoring almost every single, even free throws.

On the other hand, the Nets.

Wang Chao sent out assists frequently, and the opportunities came up, but the Celtics' assist defense or supplementary defense was quite timely, and Wang Chao's shots under assists were more or less disturbed to varying degrees.

Although there were goals, the hit rate was obviously not as high as before, and the cuts fell quite seriously.

Wang Chao habitually creates shooting opportunities for his teammates in the first quarter, helps them find the touch in the game, integrates into the game as soon as possible, and integrates into the rhythm of the Nets.

But tonight.

He even sent out more chances than before, and the effect was even worse.

Half time.

Nets (12): Celtics (19)

Wang Chao, who focused on sharing the ball, only sent 3 assists and scored 4 points.

On the other hand, Pierce made 7 of 5 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 13 points in the half quarter, helping the team establish a 7-point advantage.

"Beep beep beep~"

The Nets called a timeout.

Nets bench.

Coach Johnson came in front of Wang Chao and other players, and said in a deep voice, "There is nothing wrong with your playing, but you should have noticed it in half a quarter."

"Coach, their defense is so timely, their reaction is half a second slow, and they will make up for interference when they make good shots."

"That's right." Johnson glanced at Farmar and continued: "Farmar is right. The Celtics' first five players have good defensive awareness and good motor nerves. It's the youngster who plays the center position. O'Neal has good footwork around the basket and has a certain running ability."

"So...their supplementary defense and defense will be very fast, and the defensive pressure they will give will also be strengthened invisible. This is the defensive pressure from the No. [-] in the East, and you must bear it."

"There is no problem with your performance tonight, but through this half-quarter confrontation, you have to learn to grow and learn to withstand the defensive pressure from the number one in the East."

"Learn to grow in adversity."

"Understood, Coach!"

"Understood, coach, we will play better!"

The players nodded heavily, not only did they not feel distressed because they did not grasp the opportunity to score, but at this moment their confidence doubled and their fighting spirit was boundless.

Johnson is very satisfied. He knows that his earnest words are working.

The players of the Nets are still young. They have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders tonight. They will definitely feel the pressure. However, this is also a process that they must go through if they want to grow.

This game, whether they win or lose, can make them grow. .

"Beep beep!"

Pause time ends.

Players from both sides entered the field. Coach Johnson patted Wang Chao on the shoulder and said, "Keep going."

"Okay, coach!"

Wang Chao nodded and went on stage.

In half a quarter, Wang Chao only scored 4 points. This is obviously not Wang Chao's usual style, nor is it his performance of strength, but Coach Johnson knows that Wang Chao is connecting the teams and hopes that his teammates will join the game.

Wang Chao's playing style is fierce and extremely domineering, and it can even be said to be unreasonable.

But even so, he can still focus on the team and put team basketball in the first position. This makes Johnson very pleased, and he is more relieved and trusts Wang Chao's decision on the court.
