Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 92: 1 hand covers the sky

An hour and a half before the start of the game, the TD North Shore Garden Arena was already full. As one of the arenas with the best home atmosphere in the league, the Celtics have consistently ranked in the forefront of the Eastern Conference since Garnett arrived. Comparing teams Although the glorious history is not much glory, it is at least a rare happy time after the new century, and the fans' support for the team is also the greatest. Everyone can see the age of the Celtics lineup. It is completely supported by a group of veterans. It is foreseeable that the reconstruction of the team is not far away, which prompts them to release all their enthusiasm at the final peak of the team.

In the Nets team, many young people experienced this kind of battle for the first time. On the surface, they didn't seem to have any reaction, but in their hearts, whether they were "cowardly before the battle", only they themselves knew.

After O'Neal was out for the season, Rivers' matchup adjustment was to adjust Garnett to the center position and Glen Davis to top the power forward position. This operation is a bit frustrating, but it is also impossible. Krstic can still be used in the regular season, but he has been the starting center for the Nets in the past few years, and his performance in several playoffs has been difficult to explain. Rivers does not trust him, and the team has one insider left Although O'Neal is "only "32 years old", his all-star power forward halo has long since faded. Although he still occasionally shines on the offensive end, he can't even do a blue-collar job well on the defensive end. For the supreme Celtics, he is more suitable as a backup.

Before the game started, a grim atmosphere filled the entire arena. Garnett and Baines stood on both sides of the referee. Garnett's murderous eyes were already fixed on Baines.

"The game started, Garnett won the jump ball this time, the ball came to Rondo, and the Celtics took the lead in organizing the offense." With the very provocative shouting of the TNT on-site commentator, the Celtics Started the first offensive organization in the first round of the playoffs.

Rondo didn't rush the ball past the half court immediately. After all, the Nets' back defense was still very fast. He slowly took the ball past half court, fiddled with his hands twice, and handed it over to the insider. In Garnett's hands, under normal circumstances, the first target of Rondo's passing is either Garnett or Pierce.

Garnett leaned on Baines, he first squeezed tentatively a few times, and found that Baines was in a good position, and it seemed that there was no chance of making shots, and he gently returned the ball to the outside.

When the ball is not in hand, Rondo actively intersperses his movements while watching the six lanes. This is also what Rivers admires most about him. There are not many point guards in the league who can do this. In an instant, Rondo found Ray Allen who was about to get rid of Korver with the help of a screen. With a flick of his wrist, he made a non-stop ball. Shoot from the three-point line.

The moment the ball was shot, Ray Allen knew that the ball was there, he didn't even look at the result, he went back to defense.

"Shuh!" In such a noisy arena, the sound of the ball entering the basket still spread throughout every corner of the arena, causing bursts of cheers.

Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, the combination of these four people has never changed since 2007, and their tacit understanding has reached a very high level. In the regular season, the Celtics may have some reservations, but in the playoffs, these four people really deserve the reputation of the "Big Four".

When it was the Nets’ turn to attack, it was still Baines who pulled out of the penalty area to pick and roll for George. His generous body firmly covered Pierce. However, Garnett’s defense was in place and also blocked George’s breakthrough route. George There was no attack for the first time, and Pierce's defense immediately succeeded. The role of the top help defender was perfectly reflected at this moment.

How strong are the Celtics? In the past three years in the playoffs, they only lost to the Magic 3-4 in 2009 because of Garnett's injury. That year, the Magic's highest-scoring player was not the inside pillar, Howard, who averaged 16.4 points and 17.1 rebounds per game, and not the team's engine, Turkoglu, who averaged 16.3 points and 5.6 assists per game, but 20 per game. The power forward with 4 points and 6.5 rebounds, Lasha's Lewis, was also the highest-scoring player on both teams in that series. Of course, some people may say that the highest score does not mean the greatest contribution. But a season later, the Magic were easily repelled by the Celtics 4:2, and the biggest variable was Lewis. Under Garnett's defense, Lewis's average was 8+5 per game and his shooting percentage was 8+5. 33%.

If it wasn't for the desperation of the Celtics, why would James make such a terrible move!

The Nets are indeed a rookie in the playoffs. Under the strict defense of the Celtics, they are full of loopholes, and the two generals the team can rely on, George and Pierce, have already been in a bad mood. Veteran Carter is in. Against Ray Allen, it didn't take any advantage. Throughout the first half, the Nets seemed helpless against the Celtics. At 41:55, the score difference of 14 points behind is not an exaggeration, but just looking at the game process, there will be a deep sense of despair.

TNT's broadcast footage is often given to Jiang Mingliang, who is "going personally". Although he is satisfied with the team's results in entering the playoffs, he has no demands on the results, but from Jiang Mingliang's more serious expression and the regular season watching the game from Judging from the small moves he has never done before, he still takes the outcome very seriously.

In the third quarter, Stevens, who ran out of ammunition and food, played Whiteside's trump card. The appearance of the big white side brought a different change to the Nets. He was tall, long, and energetic. The combination of O'Neal and Krstic showed an amazing performance, taking down 12 rebounds in a single quarter~www.novelmt.com~ 4 of them were offensive rebounds. In the face of his explosive impact, Kai The Celtics felt a little chaotic. The highest point difference that had been widened to 18 points was also beaten back to 7 points. Whiteside became the Nets' surprise soldier in this game.

Even with Lopez on the floor, it's hard to play this effect against the Celtics' old-fashioned interior, but the truth is so funny. When techniques, tactics, and systems cannot be used under the opponent's defense, they simply use their bodies to play. There is a saying that one force will defeat the ten guilds, and the old master will be beaten to death with random fists. This is what it says.

Facing the noise of the Celtics fans, Jiang Mingliang put down his "idol baggage", stood up and applauded Whiteside's wonderful performance loudly.

"Another Cuban!" TNT's commentator gave such an evaluation after seeing Jiang Mingliang's reaction.

Among the owners of the 30 teams in the league, only Cuban is more crazy than Jiang Mingliang.

However, the game entered the fourth quarter, and the Celtics once again widened the point difference.

Just like Garnett taught Lewis in the playoffs last year, Garnett, the wolf king, basically sees one for one and two for one pair for a face-frame insider who has no strength and no back. Although several power forwards have their own strengths, Yi Jianlian has excellent athletic ability, Landry has a strong impact, and Anderson has a large shooting range, but they are unable to perform against Garnett.

The audience contributed 25 points, 12 rebounds, a large double-double, and also sent out six assists and four blocks. Garnett alone performed better than the Nets except for Whiteside. The addition of the data is even better, leading the Celtics to beat the Nets 114:98, and won the best player of the game.
