Chapter 47: Unsheathed knife

　　 As the game deepened, the two sides began a large-scale rotation. In the middle of the first quarter, the main players began to drop off. Those substitutes and newcomers got the opportunity to show their faces.
　　 Leon returned to his seat, the head coach's addiction only lasted five minutes, but Leon also got some taste.
Then he began to focus his attention on the match between the two sides. After switching to the second team, the offensive and defensive battles on both sides were a bit messy. The rookie substitutes hoped that they could have a good performance on this occasion to win the coach. With the goodwill of the management, strive for more opportunities.
　　 Although Pitino did not direct from the sidelines, he sat in the audience and watched the game up close.
　　 Michael Reid replaced the main guard Brian Stitch in the fourth minute, and for the first time really set foot on the North Shore Garden Arena to play the game.
　　 Affected by a left knee injury, Reid did nothing in the summer league and lost an opportunity to prove himself to the team. Although many first-round picks choose not to participate in the summer league, unpopular first-round picks like Reid are still very eager to show themselves, so that people know that the Celtics choose him with the 11th pick is not a bad decision.
　　 In the next two months, he was well-trained, and he was the most desperate in training camp. Every day he practiced shooting, using his left hand, which was not his dominant hand, to practice again and again. Although the posture is ugly and strange, the hit rate is getting more stable day by day.
　　 What's bad is that when Reid came on the court, there was a little booing from the sidelines. It seems that Boston fans are not welcome to this mediocre rookie. Many people still stubbornly think that they should choose an inside player.
　　 Leon looked at Reid's back and knew that he was a little nervous, because as long as he was nervous, he would rub his buttocks with his hands or rub his hands. Leon also hopes that Reid can have a good performance, because this is a rookie he likes and recommends, and Leon sees all the sweat and hard work that Reid puts in every day.
　　It is the Bucks' head defender, Ray Allen, who is facing Reid. The coach still keeps him on the court, which is a challenge for Reid. This is a true, unparalleled shooter. He just made the All-Star last season, shooting 42.3% from three-pointers and making 172 three-pointers this season.
　　 Calm, efficient, and quite a killer style, Leon sitting on the court and watching Ray Allen's jumper, he can feel the sharp and powerful momentum of the shooting center like a sword.
　　 Ray Allen had already hit two three-pointers in the first quarter. When Reid played for the Bucks' first offense, Ray Allen caught the ball at the top of the arc and hit a three-pointer directly.
　　 Reid lost his position in Allen's figure-of-eight running position. When Allen made a three-pointer, he could only raise his hand symbolically and watch the basketball hollow into the net.
On the contrary, in the Celtics’ offense, Reid couldn’t find his place. When he touched the ball for the first time, he stood three steps beyond the three-point line and didn’t know what to do, and finally passed the ball back to Vitaly Potapenko, who came forward to respond, made a pointless pass.
　　 "The gap between them is like the sun and the moon..." This is Leon's inner evaluation. Although this evaluation is unfair to Reid, this is the difference in their performance on the court.
　　 An accurate, cold-hearted killer and a silly daredevil, but at the end of the first quarter, Reid's stats were all 0, and he didn't even contribute to a foul.
　　 Reid looked quite frustrated after he left the field. He put a towel on his head, sweat kept flowing down, he raised his head to see the technical statistics on the central big screen-all were 0, and he lowered his head again.
　　 Leon didn’t go up to comfort him, saying
it’s okay, it’s always like this for the first time
. He walked up to Reid and asked,
Why didn’t you rush into it bravely? What are you hesitating?

Reid made two shots in the first quarter, one three-pointer and one long-range two-pointer. He shot hastily without doing much. Facing Ray Allen, he seemed to want to prove his shooting ability. After all, he was in training camp. He practiced so many times just to show off his skills in the game.
Facing Leon’s questioning, Reid didn’t speak. He and Leon had the best relationship in the team. Leon would stand aside and watch the shots every day. Without pen or paper, he can tell Li after the end. How many shots did he make, how many scores he made, what his hit rate was, what was his hit rate yesterday, and what is the difference in success rate at each position.
　　 Reid has long known that Leon is a magical person, and he is not surprised about it. When he heard Leon's question, he felt very uncomfortable.
Leon squatted down and looked at Reid's eyes and said to him: "Kill to the inside, use your body, enter one, and when the first one gets your hands, the ones behind will just let the flow go." After touching Reed's head, he sat back to his position and continued to paint on the notebook.
　　 After that, Reid did not get another chance to play in the entire second quarter, perhaps because O'Brien was not satisfied with Reid's performance, or there were too many people who needed to go on the court.
In the second half, the situation did not feel better for Reid. O'Brien seemed to have forgotten him in the corner of the bench. The team changed positions and even Doug Overton at the end of the bench got the chance to play-this was mixed in the league. The point guard who has been slick like a mouse for many years looks more confident on the court than Reid.
By the fourth quarter of the game, the Celtics had trailed the Bucks by 14 points 75:89. The Milwaukee had an absolute advantage on the perimeter. When Cassel, Ray Allen and Robinson were on the court, they The fierce firepower of the outside makes the Celtics' pressing defense useless.
　　 Rodman also didn't get playing time after the first quarter. He no longer needs to prove anything in this kind of game. He can read the newspaper with peace of mind on the sidelines.
　　 Reid is different, he was impatient to appear on the stage, but he couldn't show it.
Finally, two minutes into the fourth quarter, Bucks head coach George Karl replaced Ray Allen, ready to put the last few nails in the Celtics coffin, O'Brien waved. , Pointed to Reid and said: "Ready to play, Reid, replace Carl, and behave a little aggressively."
　　 Reid suddenly got up from the bench, took off his jacket and prepared to play.
　　 "This kid is a little impatient, I hope he can perform better, otherwise I am worried that the Boston fans will kill you." O'Brien said to Leon beside him watching Reid hurriedly on the court.
Leon knows that O'Brien is polishing Reid. From this point of view, O'Brien is better than Pitino. He is more tolerant and strategic to the newcomers. A little cold storage fills Reed with the flame of struggle. At this time, his mind was full of thoughts of scoring twenty points to help the team reverse.
　　 But Leon’s words calmed Reid. He said to Reid:
Go ahead, kid, don’t think about it, score a goal.

Leon is not an experienced basketball coach and has no experience in playing games, but he knows that Reid needs a goal at this time to calm himself down and break the restless mood. He can see Reid wrinkle tightly. The frowning eyebrows are like a Japanese gourd. In comparison, Ray Allen, who is chewing gum on the opposite side, is as calm as ice.
Soon Reid got the ball in the offense. He took an active position on the left, stuck Ray Allen with his body, and his teammates handed the ball to his hand. Reid turned and faced the basket after taking the ball. His broad shoulders ensured the safety of the ball. After driving Allen, he suddenly used his left hand to rush to the basket from the center!
　　 A rough and ferocious breakthrough, Reid's body was unexpectedly strong, his left knee injury did not hinder his strength, his shoulders opened the way, and even used his arms, he pushed Ray Allen all the way to the basket.
　　 Reid's breakthrough was beyond Ray Allen's expectation. He lost the defensive focus at the beginning, and was finally pushed to the inside by Reid to be unable to form an effective interference to him. UU read www.uukanshu. Com and the Bucks did not actively defend inside. Reid used his left hand to force a layup. The ball rolled around the basket and finally fell inside.
　　 A simple and savage goal was also Michael Reid's first goal in the NBA. From this goal, everything began to take its course. Running, holding the ball, breaking through, three-pointers, those things learned in college and training camp are all coming back little by little. In the limited time of the fourth quarter, he was finally on the court like an NBA player On, integrated into the game.
Reid looked at Leon on the sidelines and finally had a smile on his face. Regardless of the result of the game, confidence began to grow in this young man. He began to use his slightly strange posture to make a long shot. , Such shooting TD North Shore Garden fans still need to adapt.
On the sidelines, Leon watched the first work of his basketball career slowly began to get rough, and his heart not only relaxed, he opened his notebook and used lines next to the page where Ray Allen’s shot chart was drawn. The dots and dots depict Reid's shooting posture, while Leon also used a pen to depict the outline of the two men. Although they are simple strokes, they are very vivid. Leon's painting level is the same as his mathematics, which is beyond the ordinary level.
　　 is that these two pictures are atmospheric and weird.
　　 One is a sharp and white ice sword, and the other is a scimitar that has not yet opened.
　　 I don't know how fast this sword can go, I don't know when this sword will be bloodied.
　　 I don't even know when this left-armed sharp knife can catch up with the gentleman sword that seals his throat.
