Four Hundred and Forty-Nine: Refuse to Be Taken Over

Paul Pierce scored 5 points in a row, which is his gift to the Grizzlies. This season, Pierce averaged 18.6 points per game, which is the best data maintained among the Big Three in the Green Army.

In contrast, Garnett can only get a career-low 14.8 points this season since his rookie season. And this season in the Heat's Ray. Allen, it is only 10.9 points in the account.

Pierce's all-around offensive skills allow him to make big kills on the offensive end even when his physical fitness is declining.

But just 5 points, can not completely change the direction of the game. Now that the Grizzlies have missed two consecutive possessions, it's time for the offensive core to step up and stabilize the situation.

Under the sound of Celtics fans shouting "defense", Link threw off Pierce through an off-ball screen and went outside the three-point line to catch the basketball.

After receiving the basketball, Link did not hesitate and made a breakthrough, so Pierce also pursued the defense with all his strength.

Just when everyone thought that Link was going to attack the frame, he stopped and retreated, and instantly swayed a position!

Pierce rushed too hard, too much inertia. When Link braked suddenly and retreated, he didn't have time to turn around.

In this way, Link made a cool shot from the mid-range and finally broke the scoring drought for the Grizzlies!

Pierce shook his head, unlike those new-generation threes who only rammed around with their bodies. Link's offensive skills are very comprehensive, and he is very experienced on the court, like a veteran who has played in the league for decades.

When interviewed by reporters before the game, Pierce actually wanted to take good care of Qualink. But for the sake of the game, he just let go of harsh words.

The Grizzlies climbed to No. 1 in the league this season, and it really didn't depend on luck. Seeing the boy stop and retreat freely, Pierce seemed to think of himself when he was young.

But just like in previous games, no matter how powerful Link is or how popular he is, Pierce will not allow himself to be an upgrade package for newcomers.

No matter how powerful people are, they will be defeated, even Jordan and Kobe, let alone an undrafted one!

This time, the Celtics' offense did not find Pierce. After all, Iguodala does not give Pierce a chance every time.

Rondo then took advantage of Garnett's pick-and-roll and personally broke through without passing the ball. He wanted to pass, but found that the rest of the Grizzlies were still strictly implementing man-to-man tactics, blocking all passing lanes.

Even Rondo had to admit,

The Grizzlies' defensive discipline is really good.

There was no way, Rondo could only make an emergency stop jumper at the mid-range position by himself. However, Rondo's shooting was inconsistent. This time, the basketball came out of the box and failed to hit.

The Grizzlies got a chance. After Pau Gasol grabbed the rebound, he passed the ball directly from the backcourt to Link!

After Link took two steps, facing Pierce's block, he turned around flexibly and left the aged Pierce behind. After Pierce passed, there was no defensive player in front of Link.

He riveted with all his strength, raised the basketball with both hands, jumped up and smashed the dunk, full of strength! Link deliberately chose to end the offense with a dunk, just to undermine the Celtics' confidence.

This time, the North Shore Garden was silent again. On the entire court, only the wailing of the basketball hoop could be heard.

"Smashing dunks with both hands, Gasol's first pass and Link's movement have become more and more tacit. Although Paul Pierce scored 5 points in a row after the opening, but from now on, Link seems to be taking over the game." The Boston commentators shook their heads. Once Link started scoring consecutively, the Grizzlies' momentum was often unstoppable.

Although the Celtics are still sitting on a 1-point advantage, it is actually very dangerous.

Link opened, and Stevens was relieved. Next, things should get easier.

However, just ten seconds later, the Grizzlies tense their nerves again. Because Paul Pierce once again used his superb offense to continue the score for the Celtics!

This time, Pierce broke through after receiving the pass, and Iguodala blocked it hard on the side.

After Pierce walked to the basket, he made a fake move to hold the ball with one hand for a layup. Because the action was too realistic, Iguodala jumped up to block it! When I jumped up, I realized that I was fooled!

After picking up Iguodala, Pierce turned in the opposite direction and made a fallback jumper. Iguodala, who had just landed, didn't have time to raise his hand to interfere. In this way, Pierce used a superb fake fake move to deceive the defensive strong Iguodala and throw the ball in. 7 to 4, the Celtics are still in the lead!

Just now, everyone thought that Link, who scored 4 points in a row, was going to take over the game, but Paul Pierce stood up and told Link, "It's just the beginning!"

Stevens frowned instantly, it seems that Pierce's two consecutive goals at the beginning of the game was not accidental. That No. 34 had a very high desire to score today and was very excited to play.

Naturally, Link was not to be outdone. He had already scored 4 points in a row and would not stop there. So a wonderful small forward offensive skills show contest began!

This time, just as Link leaned on Pierce, Pierce's trash talk began.

"No matter how hard you try, I'll respond after you score! Come on, let me see what else you have left? It's all the rest of the way I play!"

Pierce is indeed very sarcastic, and even the famous villain Ci Shiping said after playing the finals with the Celtics, "Pierce is the most trash-talking person in the league."

"Do you think you can really win the championship if you are No. 1 in the Western Conference now? Don't be funny, the championship is not something you little brats can touch. Let the real championship teach you how to play basketball. !"

Before Link had digested the last piece of trash talk, Pierce immediately said a second sentence.

But Link was not affected. The first two seasons were fine, but this season, Link has heard too much trash talk. Maybe it's because they've gotten stronger, so people are starting to use trash talk on themselves?

Ignoring Pierce, Link felt Pierce's defense after receiving the ball, and then pushed back!

Link could feel that Pierce was a little afraid of his shooting, so he focused more on the front. So Link suddenly leaned on Pierce and turned around, and the Celtics' No. 34 was thrown behind by Link again!

This time, Link didn't make a pull-up jumper or step-back shot. The same trick can be used twice, but never twice in a short period of time.

This time, Link drove straight in and hit the basket!

Seeing this, Garnett made up for the defense, and Link was likely to be surrounded by Pierce and Garnett. However, Link, who entered the penalty area from the side, avoided Garnett's block with a pull-bar layup in the air after taking off, and easily put the ball up.

Link's every step was done beautifully, from the post-up break to the final pull-up layup.

After scoring the goal, Link spread his hand to Pierce and said that he played very easily, "You are old, man. You can't guard me, I have already scored 6 points on your head, and you can only use chattering. Bad words to cover up your nervousness!"

Link's trash talk was so loud that Pierce couldn't hear it.

Garnett couldn't listen anymore and glared at Link, but Link had long since returned to his own half to prepare for defense.

Link scored 6 points in a row and the Grizzlies made it 6-7. The last piece of trash talk was really ruthless.

Under normal circumstances, the Celtics should be suppressed.

But today, things are not at all normal.

Pierce was still active after Link scored 6 points in a row and was spammed. He immediately cut in after setting up a screen for Rondo, attracting the Grizzlies' defensive attention inside.

After receiving the basketball, Pierce was caught by Randolph and Iguodala. As a result, he calmly passed the ball through the gap and sent it to Garnett.

Garnett's mid-range shot is always on the line, and kg can throw the ball calmly when there is no defense. This shot is no different to him than shooting in practice.

The basketball hits again, and the Celtics once again shattered the Grizzlies' desire to take over the game. 9 to 6, the green shirts continue to lead!

"Pierce's passing is very accurate, many people only remember his exquisite offense, but don't forget, Pierce's assists are also around five per game all year round! The Celtics once again blocked the momentum of the Grizzlies, Link Don't give in to Pierce today!"

The moment he saw Pierce pass the ball, Link pouted. This kind of old Jianghu, who has been in the league for many years and won the championship, is really different. They've had their ups and downs, so they won't be so easy to beat.

Even if you score 6 points in a row, even if you spout some nasty trash talk, it's hard to deter him. Wanting to dominate the game, it seems that it will not work in the North Shore Gardens.

In this way, the entire first half became a show for Link and Pierce to show off their skills.

Link hits the shot with a nice crossover here, and Pierce is able to hit back with his roll over there.

Link had just made a thrower and Pierce responded with his superb step-back jumper.

Of course, in addition to the technical competition, the trash talk between the two never stopped. Before the game, Link was worried that Randolph and Garnett would spray.

As everyone knows, in the end, it was himself and Pierce who had a fight.

The Celtics, who had just experienced a three-game losing streak, persisted until the end of the halftime. The Celtics, who thought they would be easily resolved by the Grizzlies, were only 3 points behind after halftime!

51 to 48, the Celtics refused to surrender! Among them, Pierce's 17 points in the half and 3 of 3 three-pointers was the key to the Celtics' ability to bite the score.

Link was not to be outdone, scoring 15 points at halftime. Two points less than Pierce, but more goals. The reason why the number of goals was more but two points less was because Link made only one three-pointer.

"It's so exciting. Before the game, no one would have thought that this game would be played like this! 'Truth' Pierce is doing his best to compete with Link, he is not afraid of young people, and he does not want to give young people a chance! This is Paul Pierce, and he's going to win every game!"

Link clenched his fists and returned to the locker room. Although the Grizzlies led by 3 points, this was not the result they expected.

In the words of Randolph, the Grizzlies should "take the game easily and walk away."

As a result, the Grizzlies did not play easily. Pierce was too ruthless today. This guy said what he said. A man who averaged 18 points per game scored 17 points in half a quarter of the game, which shows how good he is.

You know, Pierce is still facing the defense of Iguodala and Tony Allen! If Pierce faced a certain shrimp soldier and crab general today, it is estimated that he could get more than 20 points in the half.

Link sat in the locker room, thinking about Pierce's first-half offense. He doesn't match up with Pierce on the defensive end, but Link has been pondering Pierce's offensive habits.

Marshal Stevens was the last to return to the locker room due to his midfield interview with reporters.

As soon as he stepped into the locker room, the young marshal immediately gave orders and made the first adjustment.

"In the second half, Link, you played against Pierce on the defensive end! I want you to consume him as much as possible on both the offensive and defensive ends!"

Stevens gritted his teeth, he had defensive players playing with Pierce!

Link nodded silently. He was playing against Pierce on the offensive end, and he had long thought that he would be "truth" on the defensive end.

Iguodala and Tony Allen's defense is excellent, but Link is more passionate and eager to defeat the opponent than them!

At this time, on the commentary stage in the North Shore Gardens, the commentators were still predicting how many points Pierce would score today.

Among them, a local Boston commentator confidently answered a number, "Maybe around 40 points, Pierce is unstoppable today."

And Link gave himself the task of not allowing him to score more than 25 points.
