Seattle fans have no resentment towards Ray Allen. After all, Ray Allen did not leave the Sonics voluntarily, so during the warm-up, fans kept calling Ray Allen's name, but these fans only In the minority, the majority of fans gave the call to Stephen.

One of the slogans is the most representative, "Ray, I wish you a good journey, it is better if we have Stephen." Seeing the slogan here, Ray Allen couldn't help but feel a kind of sadness in his heart, and his brilliance came from here It started, and more than half of my youth has stayed here.

I left here half-passively. Although I didn't expect how much the fans would miss me. After all, I didn't leave any commemorative honors for the team, but the fans left me behind so quickly and turned to a new core. , did make him a little uncomfortable.

Although he knew that Stephen's abilities really surpassed his own, at least when he was on this team, it was impossible for him to score 74 points in a single game, let alone an average of [-] points per game. Most of it is in my own hands, but I can't get an average of [-] points per game.

Also as a super scorer, Ray Allen knows that it is still possible to score 74 points in a single game. As long as he feels good sometimes and the opponent's defense is weaker, it is possible even with his own ability. Of course, just possible.

But averaging 37 points per game in the past [-] games, this is difficult to do. Except for Chamberlain, I really haven’t heard of anyone who can complete it. Even the god Jordan, the highest record is only [-] points per game. If Stephen can Keep the current data until the end of the season, at least the season scoring average can be ranked second in the league.

Not to mention that my physical function is gradually degrading now, even when I am at my peak state, I can't do what Stephen does. Ray Allen knows very well that his shooting is far better than the opponent's, but other The offensive methods, especially the inside breakthrough, are not as good as the opponent.

Ray Allen is like an elegant white-clothed swordsman in martial arts legends. His personality and technical characteristics determine his offensive method, erratic in and out of the three-point line, and shoot the sharp arrow in his hand at the most appropriate time. , This is Ray Allen's favorite offensive method.

Even if it is a breakthrough, he uses speed and rhythm to get rid of the opponent, finds the opening of the shot, and throws the ball to the basket. Like Stephen, he breaks through forcefully or plays with his back. This is not his style, and he does not like it. Offensive way.

In his basketball philosophy, basketball is a sport that should not contain violence. Two big men with muscles all over their bodies squeeze each other like a hand-to-hand fight. That is professional wrestling or rugby. Basketball should not be like this exercise.

Seeing Ray Allen standing there in a daze, Garnett came over and patted him on the shoulder. In the Celtics team, no one knew Ray Allen's heart better than Garnett. The core of a team came to the Celtics again this summer, and now that they revisit their hometown, they will naturally be full of thoughts.

In the first month, the Celtics had already visited Minneapolis. Compared with Ray Allen, Garnett had passed several times to ask to leave the Timberwolves, so some fans were very fond of him. Dissatisfied, he was booed as soon as he entered the field. At the beginning, he was very uncomfortable being booed by fans who used to be himself, but once he entered the game, he forgot everything. At least Ray Allen returned to Seattle, and there was no booing Voice.

Ray Allen smiled at Garnett and didn't say much. Although the two of them plus Paul Pierce formed the "Big Three" lineup, there was no distinction between high and low status, but Paul Pierce is the leader of the team. Players have always been the captain and the core of the team. Garnett has a better reputation. He has also won the highest salary in the league and is the only inside player among the three. In front of Allen, in this way, Ray Allen was ranked last.

In his mind, Ray Allen doesn't like this, and at the same time he doesn't think anyone is worse than anyone else, but for the sake of the championship, he can ignore the statistics, or give up his own style, and play according to the needs of the team. But that doesn't mean he doesn't care about it.

He didn't like the feeling of being taken care of by others. Whether it was Garnett or Paul Pierce, they were of the same status as him, and there was no distinction between them. Garnett didn't think too much about it, thinking that it was because of his emotions. thoughtfully left.

After the warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen. The starting lineup of the Celtics was center Kendrick Perkins, power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Paul Pierce, shooting guard Ray Allen, Point guard Rajon Rondo.

There is no change in the lineup of the Sonics. It is still center Coupard, power forward Wilcox, small forward Kevin Durant, shooting guard Stephen, point guard Watson, and the starting lineup of both sides. Come to the game, the game is about to start.

Looking at the lineup comparison between the two sides, Tirito and Tolbert of TNT TV, who were in charge of explaining the game, did not support one side as in the past, nor did one say support and the other sing against it, but both believed that Most of the chances of winning this game are in the hands of the Celtics.

Although the Celtics have such a luxurious lineup, first of all, they are a defensive team. This is different from the "Four Kings" Lakers back then. Although the Lakers' defense is also very good, but It depends more on the personal ability of the players.

The Celtics are different. Their head coach Rivers is a defensive coach who learns from others. A very effective defensive system, and in offense, they can give full play to the abilities of the Big Three.

A team that is backed by defense and plays very well on offense at the same time is very difficult to deal with, let alone a team like the Sonics that has no defense and relies on Stephen alone for offense. The comparison in appearance makes people even less optimistic about the Sonics.

You must know that apart from the Big Three, the other two starting players of the Celtics are not to say that they are incapable. Kendrick Perkins entered the league in [-]. Although he was ranked at the end of the first round in the draft, But his strength is still very outstanding.

In particular, although he is only 280 meters tall, he has a weight of [-] pounds. Among the inside players, this is the weight of the few monster-level insiders after O'Neal and Yao Mingdu. It is aimed at his tonnage , it's not easy to mess with.

He is a defensive defender, especially his tonnage, which can occupy a great advantage in interior confrontation, and he and Garnett can complement each other well. Garnett's height and wingspan combined with moving speed , is very suitable for defending the breakthrough of outside players to the basket, and the ability of assisting defense and supplementary defense is top in the league, but he is not suitable for top defense, especially the offense of large-tonnage inside players.

Perkins has weight and strength, but his speed is not very good. In this way, two of them will defend the basket and the other will defend the periphery of the three-second zone. If they encounter a strong inside line, Perkins can deal with it, and If you encounter a dexterous inside player, it is Garnett's responsibility.

As for the other starter, Rajon Rondo, this is his second professional season. In his rookie season, he was just a backup point guard, sharing playing time with Delonte West. At that time, Rondo No one has paid attention to him yet. Just a weakness of not being able to shoot makes many opponents ignore his existence.

But this season, the Celtics sent away Telfair and Delonte West successively. In this way, he can only be put in the starting lineup, but his weakness of poor shooting lies in the current team Inside, it happens to be the most overlooked point, because the team has enough offensive personnel and doesn't need his offense at all.

His excellent defense, strong passing and rebounding ability just meet the team's current requirements, and playing next to the Big Three, in addition to the skyrocketing assist data, he can also learn a lot.

In comparison, the Supersonics are at a disadvantage in all positions except for Stephen, who has a slight advantage. Although it is said that a basketball game is not determined by only comparing lineups, no one can ignore the role of stars. .

After the referee blew the whistle, the game officially kicked off. In the jump ball, Coupard lost to Garnett. The two were of similar height, but Garnett's bounce easily took over Coupard, one step ahead Pass the ball to a teammate.

Rondo controlled the ball and ran slowly in the second half, looking like a master. On the other hand, Watson usually seems to be able to make do, but now when he competes with Rondo, his strength is too different.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't delay Rondo's advance speed, and Rondo didn't let his teammates come over to respond, but slowly approached the basket from the flank. As soon as Wilcox turned around, Rondo put the ball in his hand. A small angle was passed to Garnett, and Coupard hurriedly made up for it after seeing it. No one dared to ignore Garnett's existence, but as soon as Coupard turned around, he saw the ball flying behind him , Before he could turn his body back again, after hearing Perkins' big ton, he dunked the ball into the basket with a loud bang.

Garnett's own passing ability is very outstanding. It can be seen from the number of his assists. Among the players in the same position, he has been the first for many years, and this internal pass after receiving the ball is very good. capabilities in this regard.

As soon as Stephen received the ball from Watson, Ray Allen seemed to stick to Stephen's face immediately. At the same time, Garnett also moved from one side to this side, blocking Stephen's way forward. Pass the ball to the basket, but looking at Garnett's threat range, Stephen tried a few times, but he couldn't find a passing route.
