Reverse Growth Superstar

17 points in the half, 3 of 3 three-pointers.

Paul Pierce seemed to have really returned to that "Night of Truth", facing a seemingly invincible opponent, he burst out with great power.

There are many different opinions about Pierce. Some people say that he was underestimated before 2008, and he was overestimated after 2008. The reason is that he is not a superstar after 2008, but occasionally he can suddenly explode when playing against Kobe, James and others, so he "looks" very powerful.

Not to mention whether Pierce is really overestimated after 2008, but this at least proves that Pierce often explodes when facing strong opponents. This is a fact that fans who dislike him also admit.

In the locker room, Pierce gasped hard. In the first half, to deal with Iguodala and Tony Allen while maintaining offensive efficiency, this is a big test for Pierce's physical fitness.

There are not many changes that Doug Rivers can make. He can only reluctantly push Garnett to the fifth position, and then replace him with Jeff Green, Durant’s eldest brother in the Thunder, to add another scoring point. , To help Pierce share part of the scoring pressure.

"We are only behind by 3 points. If there is one more round in the game, we might be able to tie the Grizzlies directly! So, keep going in the second half! This is a competition of perseverance, the Celtics never Know what it means to give up! Let us bite the **** first place in the league at home, and then say goodbye to the past three failed away games!"

After Rivers adjusted a substitution quota, he started to pour out chicken soup. Pierce tried to breathe. As long as he could rest for a while, he didn't care what Rivers said.

Link's physical condition is very good. In the first half of the scene against defensive guard Bradley, Link played very easily on the defensive end. Therefore, he now has enough energy to pester Pierce.

In the first half of the game, they played equally well on the offensive end, Pierce was slightly ahead. But in the second half, Link won't allow this to continue.

He knows that Pierce's offensive skills are superb, but not without flaws. As long as Pierce is done, the Grizzlies can easily retreat from the disgusting Boston.

Before the game, Pierce said he was the best small forward in the league. Link will let him see what the best small forward of this era can do!

"Okay, let's all go on the court. Let's continue to play steadily, and first stabilize our rhythm. Then, let those outdated guys accept the reality!"

Stevens waved, and the Grizzlies players rushed out of the locker room one by one. Only three points ahead of the Celtics in the first half, which made the Grizzlies very frustrated.

They don't want to keep the game so anxious, for a second.

The short intermission time is very long for the fans. Therefore, when the players from both sides stepped into the stadium again, the fans were as excited as they waited for a day.

"The second half of the game began, and the Celtics took the lead in making personnel adjustments. Coach Doug Rivers replaced Collins, took Jeff Green, and made KG the top five. The purpose is clear, that is To increase offensive firepower."

"This idea is correct. Now that neither side can guard anyone, the score has been rising. If Pierce can create opportunities for Green and Garnett, I believe that the Celtics can play a wave of scoring."

Pierce waved his arm and moved his bones. He is not complacent, he knows how difficult this game is.

With 17 points in the half, this looks really good. But from another perspective, Pierce scored 17 points at halftime and the Celtics are still behind. This is enough to show how difficult the Celtics are today.

With the Grizzlies' first attack in the second half, Link took a break and the ball was handed to Randolph.

Randolph hit Jeff Green on the back, it was not too easy. Jeff Green has always suffered a lot from the inside defense, but since Green just had a heart surgery last season, you can't ask him too much.

Easily, the **** bear hit the inside and scored a hook. Green was sent by Rivers to score points, but unexpectedly, he was the first to lose points.

Pierce shook his head, no way, even if Link doesn't make a move, the Grizzlies still have other points to score. But it's okay, if you lose points, just go to the offensive end to get it back! Didn't they do that throughout the first half?

The Celtics attacked, and the fans all got excited. Everyone is full of expectations, ready to watch the next performance of "Truth"!

"I said, Pierce's score will be around 40 points! Let's count from now, he is about to start his own performance!" Even the commentators on the commentary stage are gearing up.

Pierce passed halftime and began to look for offensive opportunities. But after seeing the person in front of him, the soul of the Green Army who had a brilliant performance in the first half was taken aback.

At this time, it was no longer Iguodala or Tony Allen who was defending in front of him, but Link, who had been competing with him all night!

"Come on, old man, let me feel your weak attack!" Link said, directly posted.

To maximize the consumption of Pierce, this is Link's strategy!

"Link actually directly confronted Pierce on the defensive end. It seems that the war between the two of them has escalated again!"

Pierce felt a little struggling. Before receiving the basketball, he felt a little struggling.

Link's defense is not necessarily better than Iguodala and Tony Allen, but Link knows the right medicine and knows to drain Pierce's energy now. Moreover, Pierce must have a different mentality when facing Link than when facing Iguodala and Tony Allen.

The rival came to the door, Pierce definitely wanted to score more and wanted to prove himself. This more or less makes Pierce become frizzy.

Pierce didn't fear Link's challenge. He stuck Link with his back at the middle distance. When he got to the position, everyone looked at them intently.

Pierce attacked under Link's defense for the first time in this game, everyone will wait and see!

Pierce wanted to use his **** to make room, but Link did not flinch. Every time Pierce pushes in, Link will carry it down without fear of pain!

After sitting back several times, Pierce did not advance for half a step, but instead consumed a lot of physical energy!

Pierce didn't want to consume it anymore, so he turned over and prepared to shoot!

However, just as the Soul of the Green Army raised the basketball, Link's palm was overwhelmed!

"Snapped!"

Before Pierce took off, the basketball was blocked by Link! Link's cover can be called the speed of light!

"What!? The backward jumper was blocked directly!?" The Boston local commentators stood up in surprise. Pierce's backward jumper is notoriously difficult to block! In the first half, even Iguodala and Tony Allen failed to do it!

Stevens clapped vigorously off the court, and his defense strategy worked!

Tony Allen and Iguodala are really tough, and they have excellent defensive judgments. But they didn't feel personally about Pierce's offense. After all, they are not offensive players themselves.

But Link is different. He knows Pierce's best way to shoot in the face of this defense. After all, he himself is an expert in this area. Therefore, Link’s judgment on Pierce’s offense is actually more accurate than Iguodala and Tony Allen!

Before Pierce could react, Link passed by him and picked up the basketball behind him!

Link took advantage of the trend and quickly attacked, and only Rondo on the Celtics could keep up with Link. In the end, Rondo had to foul early and gave the Grizzlies a chance to serve a sideline.

No way, Link can dunk directly without fouling early.

"Hey, don't be surprised, this is just the beginning." Link was not upset, but walked up to Pierce, his mouth broke.

Pierce bit it. Link may be the first newcomer in history to stay up when talking trash with him.

Link is not just talking trash, but doing what he says. He said that the capping just now only started, but it was not just a ruthless remark.

This time, Link actively asked for the ball and wanted to score on Pierce. From offensive to defensive torture, Link does not intend to give Pierce a chance to breathe.

Pierce had just experienced Link's tight defense, and then immediately faced a storm-like attack.

Although the second half of the game has just begun, but to be honest, Pierce feels a little unbearable.

Link dribbles the ball with left and right hands alternately on the outside. This season, Link has more attacks from outside with the ball on his own. This is the main reason for his transformation.

Durant and George completed the transformation, and also started from the ball-handling offense.

Pierce lowered his weight and tried not to be disturbed. But when Link accelerated to the left, Pierce still reflexively followed!

As everyone knows, when Link accelerates to the left, he pulls the ball to the right with one hand!

Pierce knew he should keep up, but his body couldn't keep up with his thoughts.

"Wow!"

Pierce only felt a gust of wind blowing in his ear, and Link "disappeared out of thin air" in front of him.

After breaking through the bottom line, Link drifted and shot.

Personal 17th, Link scored the same as Pierce! At the same time, the Grizzlies also widened the point difference to 5 points, and they continue to expand their advantage!

After the attack and defense in the second half, Pierce found that he had already started to gasp!

Then, just after Pierce halftime, Link came up hard. The old cunning Pierce took the opportunity and fell to the ground. The referee blew Link fouled.

But Link didn't care, anyway, the number of fouls has not yet arrived, the Celtics do not need to free throws, and this is his second personal foul today, it doesn't matter.

Link just stood in front of Pierce viciously, he just wanted Pierce to know that you were dead in the second half!

The Celtics are ready to attack again, but Rondo can only choose to play the pick and roll with KG. Because of Pierce, Link has already run out of space to connect the ball!

Link wrapped Pierce's arm directly, and the two almost hugged each other.

In this attack, Rondo finally chose to break the ball to Jeff Green. But Green might feel a little bit cold just now, and the CIC who had a chance missed it.

When you missed the opportunity to kill a grizzly bear and want to kill it again, you have to double the effort!

Green missed such an opportunity, so Pierce ran wildly behind Link, for fear of letting the kid fight back.

As everyone knows, the Grizzlies have slowly passed halftime this round and are ready to fight! Pierce discovered that this kid was deliberately draining his energy!

After Conley approached, Link, who had been seated in the bottom corner, went to the top of the arc without stopping. Pierce gritted his teeth to keep up, but bumped into Randolph who came to cover.

As a result, Pierce had to work harder to squeeze away from Randolph, and then rushed to Link.

But when he jumped on it, Pierce felt that he didn't even have the strength to jump. Faced with Link's jumper from outside the three-point line, Pierce stretched out his hand wearily.

Then, watching the basketball fall into the net, the Celtics were 8 points behind!

Linkby put three fingers on his head~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and made a salute to Pierce. But Pierce knew that it was not the back that paid tribute to the predecessor, it was the back that was digging the grave for the predecessor.

The Boston commentator is still expecting Pierce to score 40 points, and Celtics fans also expect Pierce to continue to turn the tide.

Pierce thought so too. This time he did not hesitate to overload his stamina, scooting beyond the three-point line, receiving a pass from Rondo, and then taking a three-pointer!

Pierce scored 3 of 3 in the first half. He thought he felt good.

However, Link jumped up and interfered with Pierce's shooting for the first time, coupled with Pierce's whole body force is not smooth.

In the end, this three-pointer fell directly into the arms of Gasol.

Three non-stick!

At that moment, a deep sense of despair enveloped Pierce.

In front of Link, the truth may not appear today.
