Chapter 1523 The Veteran Returns
The first quarter of the game.
Between the Celtics and the Mavericks, it's like playing a grindstone, you come and go.
But the final result could not be changed. The Celtics seemed to be enjoying themselves, so they won the Mavericks by four points and won the first quarter 23:19.
Back off the field.
Qin Tao and the others immediately burst out laughing as they recalled the previous process.
They are not mocking anyone, nor are they making fun of anyone, they just want to laugh.
This is understandable.
Except for the last game against the Wizards, he hasn't played such a purely positional battle this season.
After playing such a section now, the different feeling is very fresh after all.
But the most important point is that they have become more confident in this style of play.
After all, you can't really go for a season, and if you fight some tough battles, positional warfare is often more effective than fast-paced tactics.
The second quarter began to enter the regular rotation.
Jason Terry, who didn't play a lot of playing time before, went straight into battle.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Terry and the Mavericks is very deep.
When the Mavericks were able to win the championship, Terry's contribution to the team was really not small.
I still remember that when any team met the Mavericks, there would always be a storm.
At that time, the Mavericks were really good. As long as they had the momentum, they could win a game with just outside shooting.
Now that times have changed, the old buddies of the year are almost not in the team except Nowitzki.
But others seem to have forgotten these past events, but the fans at the scene couldn't forget them.
When Jason Terry came on stage, there was a burst of applause.
Even Carlisle and others off the court stood up one after another, sending blessings to this former team hero.
Terry is rarely particularly interested, but under such scenes, there is also a little sand in the eyes.
Looking at this veteran, Qin Tao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
If he is no longer at his peak, will there be so many people who can remember him?
This is still a question mark for now.
At this time.
Durant came to his side and patted him on the shoulder lightly, with the same emotion on his face.
Speaking of which, their situations are somewhat similar, except that Qin Tao's time with the Rockets was short, while Durant has been a pillar of the Thunder for many years.
While the two were sighing and sighing, Jason Terry had already finished the cutscene.
Came to the field and ran all the way, said hello to the Mavericks players, took a deep breath, and returned to the camp where he should go now.
Open fight.
Amir Johnson handed the ball into Terry's hands, rubbed his head as he passed by, and then quickly ran to the frontcourt.
Shouts of Terry's initials suddenly sounded at the scene, and more and more people joined in.
a time.
The veteran seems to be dreaming back to the past, and the whole person looks very light.
Come to the front court.
Without him saying anything, Jaylen Brown and the others immediately began to stretch the space.
They handed the moment over to Terry and showed their great respect.
Terry nodded with a smile, and then faced his younger brother, Jose Barea.
Facing the former big brother, Barea grinned, but kept talking trash.
I saw Terry cursed a few words with a smile, and then began to attack.
Terry's offensive level is very good, but because of his age and physical condition, some movements that were originally easy are now a little difficult to do.
But that doesn't mean he's not strong!
Especially with such admiration at the scene, Terry felt ten years younger!
The center of gravity is depressed.
Barea's defense was very good, and he immediately put on a posture.
The basketball in Terry's hand suddenly seemed like an elf, matching his footsteps, it suddenly gave people a dazzling feeling.
The pressure on Barea's body suddenly increased, making his expression tense.
Big Brother is still Big Brother!
When Terry was still shaking, Barea's center of gravity was suddenly moved frequently.
So much so that he subconsciously wanted to press, but now Terry has achieved his goal.
I saw a huge shaking of his body, causing Barea's center of gravity to shift immediately, and another shaking in the opposite direction, followed by a sudden change of direction, and a forward rush was to throw off Barea.
Although it is not particularly picturesque to make an emergency stop jump shot with ease, the fluency is not something that ordinary players can have.
There was thunderous applause at the scene, showing heartfelt praise to the veteran.
With Terry's appearance like this, the game in the second quarter was more or less personal heroism.
Don't say it.
Terry himself is also very powerful.
He seemed to be ten years younger. He was full of energy throughout the second quarter, and he was not only limited to scoring, but also organized well.
So even if Nowitzki waits for the main force to come back, the Celtics second team led by Terry is still very strong.
When the second quarter was over, Terry alone scored [-] points and [-] assists.
Coupled with sporadic scores from teammates, the Celtics scored 25 points in this quarter.
As for the Mavericks, they are actually not particularly bad, but they scored [-] points again, which made the Celtics' point difference widen again.
Halftime is over.
The slight hostility created by the Mavericks fans at the beginning has long been different because of Terry's return.
Besides, they can come, and they don't have much illusion about the team.
You must know that the attitude of the Mavericks itself is to play one game at a time, and with Terry's incident, everyone must be happy.
As for Qin Tao and the others, their attitude towards this game is also very relaxed, even if it is an away game, there is no pressure at all.
By the second half, the Celtics had all but handed the court to the second unit.
Even when Zubac was put on the court, this rookie who had almost no sense of presence before brought some surprises to the team at that time.
When he faced Bogut, he was worthwhile purely from the physical point of view.
And it may be that he is quietly accumulating capital alone, and he hardly falls into a disadvantage in the confrontation.
Then there is his mid-range, which is already good relative to the inside.
When Bogut couldn't arrive at the first time, as long as the basketball was in his hands, three of them could hit two.
In addition to offense and defense, Zubac also has his own level of support.
Although not as smooth and casual as Jokic came, but with his support, I feel that the Celtics' tactics are much smoother.
After all, an insider who can attack and defend as well as support is rare in today's league.
So after the whole game, apart from Terry who scored 24 points and eight assists alone, Jaylen Brown scored [-] points, six rebounds and six assists, and Zubac also scored six points, seven rebounds and two blocks. Not bad data.
The final score of the two teams was fixed at 112:96. Although the Mavericks lost, it was a joy to watch the scene.
in this way.
With the Celtics gaining another victory, the players themselves also brought many surprises to others.
Under such circumstances, Stevens should have a headache again.
There are really more players who can play, and it is also a happy trouble for the coach.
