Forward to the basket

I am afraid that few people know how crazy the hand speed and frequency can be reached when the idol-type pianist Maxim played the very wild-sounding "Flight of the Bumblebee".

Indeed, someone once joked that if Maxim had no women and was an otaku, the speed at which he could solve his physiological needs by DIY would be enough to make a certain part of his body wear out.

Of course, no one really tested how fast Maxim could play Flight of the Bumblebee.

But now sitting in the broadcast booth, Alex, who has worked for the Celtics for more than ten years, obviously feels that his mouth can no longer keep up with the rhythm of the game.

"No, hell! Chris Paul broke through Derante's defense very easily just now!"

"I don't know what Rivers is thinking, anyway, I already want to kick Derante directly into the Atlantic Ocean! I'm afraid there must not be a few Bostonians who think the same as me. I can only say that the neurotic guy just defended What a stupid move! One feint swayed his center of gravity!"

"You have to know that Paul has advanced three goals in front of him! And all of them are layups after breakthroughs! Derante's defense is like a display! He can't stop Paul's offensive footsteps at all!"

Although Alex, as the home commentator, has always been cheering for the Celtics.

But after seeing his opponent's crazy attacks continuously, no matter how well-bred he is, he can't help expressing his dissatisfaction with West loudly, not to mention that his nagging also resonated with the fans.

Now it's not only Alex who feels a little angry, but many Celtics fans are also annoyed by the team's performance after the start of the second quarter.

In particular, Derante's performance can be described as a mess. He has become a fatal scar in the Celtics' defense. Every time the Hornets will tear a gap from him.

Rivers also kept growling on the sidelines. Although his voice was not loud, many people could see from his anxious expression how bad this guy was in the moment.

Because the current score on the court really makes many people very unhappy, it is estimated that they are almost swearing.

In fact, at the beginning of the first quarter, everything seemed to be going smoothly.

In particular, Pierce played very aggressively, but when he faced a rough defense like Desmond Mason, Pierce's offensive firepower became even more fierce.

The anger that has been silted up for a season made Pierce play very aggressively after the opening, and he kept looking for breakthrough opportunities on the periphery.

And Derante's several passes also allowed Pierce to seize the opportunity to eat Mason alone, a three-pointer, two jumpers after a breakthrough, and Pierce hit all of the first three shots.

"唰", "唰", "唰", the sound of the ball passing the net, it sounds so sweet.

Pierce even scored seven points at the start, which also allowed the Celtics to play very smoothly in the opening stage.

This group of guys in green clothes really attacked very fiercely amidst the shouts of the home fans.

Not only was Pierce playing very proactively and aggressively, even Jefferson, who had just entered the starting lineup, also carried West under the basket for two hard hits.

Relying on such a fierce momentum, the Celtics beat the Hornets with an 4:11 score in less than 2 minutes, which forced Hornets coach Scott to request a timeout.

It is estimated that Scott did not consider that the Celtics would play so hard before the game. In order to ease the passive situation of his team, he could only keep asking his players to stabilize.

But even if the Hornets were a little relieved after this timeout, the entire rhythm of the first quarter was still controlled by the Celtics.

Pierce kept looking for opportunities to cause trouble for Mason, and Mason's rough defensive skills really gave Scott a headache. This guy almost didn't yell at Mason.

The outside attack was fierce, and the inside was also pinched fiercely. Jefferson and West were having a great time fighting at the basket.

Often it was West who attacked one, and Jefferson immediately responded without any hesitation.

Even Alex kept saying, "Jefferson only has two years of professional experience in the NBA. If he is given more time, maybe he will really become one of the best insiders in the league."

On this point, Rivers is noncommittal. After all, Jefferson has proved his strength with his performance, and it is a very wise choice to let him start.

It's just that when he saw Jefferson, Rivers subconsciously glanced at Chen Feng who was on the bench, thinking to himself, "I really don't know what this kid will look like after playing for two years."

But Rivers dismissed this idea in the next second, because he was very speechless when he saw Chen Feng running like a lunatic on the bench, his teammates shaking the tightly clutched towel on the court.

"I hope I won't be his coach all the time, or I'll be dead or crazy," Rivers thought.

The Celtics have such two offensive flashpoints, which indeed put a lot of defensive pressure on the Hornets.

Even Ratliff, who Rivers had been worried about before the game, didn't suffer too much in front of Chandler in the first quarter. Although he was still a bit disadvantaged in rebounding, at least he wouldn't be blown away by his opponent.

The Celtics' touch is indeed very hot, and the Hornets are a little busy parrying with their desperate offensive rhythm. The point difference between the two teams has remained at around eight points.

30:24, the score at the end of the first quarter kept Celtics fans in high spirits

They didn't listen and shouted the slogan "ics!"

Even the owner of the team, Grosbeck, has lost his usual reserve. When the team plays a beautiful offense, he will clap on his seat with a smile on his face, or shake it with exhaustion. Fist, just Auerbach on Grosbeck's side, didn't smile much.

If someone pays attention to the expression on the bishop's face at this moment, there will even be a second or two, a little worried.

But in the fiery atmosphere around him, Auerbach would definitely not become a frequent target of TV cameras, and no one saw the slightly frowned brows and vague anxiety of the Bishop.

Auerbach is just a spectator now, so he can't do too many moves, and with the extremely aggrieved record last season, the Celtics can still play so hot against a strong lineup of the Hornets. No wonder many fans think how wise it is to buy a package ticket.

Even Rivers was very excited about the players' performance in the first quarter at the end of the first quarter.

"Hey guys, you guys are playing well, just keep going like this, but watch out for the rebound protection, the last 2 minutes, it's still too easy for them to play the second attack, especially Chandler, his There are not many offensive methods, so Ratliff, you must pay attention to competing with him for control of the rebound. Although it seems a bit difficult, you must try to restrain him as much as possible, and don't let him get it casually. Second chance at the rim, otherwise it's going to be trouble."

"Dronte, you should also pay attention to Paul's cut-in. He just made two breakthroughs and easily got rid of your defense. Don't continue to be so careless in the second quarter. That kid is the engine of the Hornets. I hope to see it What you see is him completely shutting down, not the picture of this kid starting up."

Rivers really didn't know if he should ask someone to see if he was really crowed.

Because it hadn't been more than 2 minutes since he had just instructed Derante, the Hornets' breakthrough point was on him as soon as the second quarter started.

It is not an old fritter like Stojakovic who leads the Hornets to show the tail needle, but a small man who has just entered the NBA for only one season, Chris Paul!

"Queen Bee", this is the nickname given to Paul by fans of the Hornets. Although this kid is only a second-year rookie, New Orleans fans have long regarded this little man as the leader of the team. He is also the Hornets. The hope that the team can rejuvenate, and this kid's performance is indeed crazy.

Paul really lived up to the trust of the Orleans fans. When the team needed him most, this little man took the lead in standing up, and the weapons he showed were actually nothing new.

It's a breakthrough!A windy breakthrough!The breakthrough that made Derante at a loss was still a high-speed cut.

This kind of breakthrough directly defeated Derante's frontal defense. Although Derante was more than half a head taller than Paul, facing the "queen bee" who was only 1.8 meters long, Derante couldn't stop the opponent at all The footsteps of Paul's change of direction are not so ghostly, but they can make people feel at a loss.

"Shua!", the clear sound of wiping the basket reminded Derante that just now, Paul had passed by him for the third time, with the same breakthrough footsteps and the same layup action.

All Paul did was repeating, repeating, repeating, torturing Derante desperately.

A little outburst drives the whole team, maybe this is how Paul leads the Hornets to keep moving forward.

In the second quarter, this explosion was nakedly presented in front of the Celtics fans.

Crazy, fast as lightning, not only Paul was breaking through with all his strength, the entire team seemed to be a swarm of irritated hornets, and began to stretch out their tail needles, aiming at the Celtics' half court, playing with their lives.

Derante was embarrassed by Paul's continuous breakthroughs, and even this guy was a little dizzy in the end. After being broken by an opponent, he stretched out his hand and pushed Paul's back hard.

Paul, whose physique is obviously smaller than Derante's, did not rush to find trouble with Derante after being violated, but watched calmly as he was called a technical foul.

Then he scored a steady free throw by himself. At 40:36, the Hornets went ahead by 4 points in the second quarter.

Such a series of intensive and ferocious offensives made Boston fall silent. At this moment, Rivers also seemed to be watching a group of crazy wild bees raging crazily in the North Shore Garden Arena.

When a swarm of crazy wild bees starts to fly, how to stop those fierce stings?
