Chapter 183 Advantages of Counterpoint

Pre-match warm-up.

Sarah Snyder sat on the sidelines and waved to Lu Shaojie.

"Brother, she is calling you."

Randall saw it again.

"Oh."

Lu Shaojie nodded, but did not move.

Randall was a little anxious, and pushed Lu Shaojie, "How are you two doing?"

"no progress."

"You guys, such a good opportunity, take advantage of it."

"I have a girlfriend."

"That's not a good reason."

"Okay, don't worry about this, we have to focus on the game, cheer up, brother!"

"Okay, you're right, let's win this game!"

Game start.

The Celtics sent Walker, Brown, Tatum, Theis, Thompson, the five-man starting lineup.

Compared with the Knicks in terms of player height, this lineup is not at a disadvantage.

But this lineup has serious flaws.

Theis and Thompson's shooting ability is not strong, resulting in insufficient space on the court.

But there is no way, the Celtics' player configuration is like this, they can't find a better way to match the Knicks, so they can only play first.

Midfield jump ball.

The Celtics got the ball first.

Walker dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to Tatum.

Walker was the boss of this team last season.

But in this season, Tatum has assumed more of the core role on the court.

In the past two years, Tatum has grown rapidly and has been able to provoke such a burden.

Payton quickly advanced to the basket, and Walker, who was chasing back, reached out and fouled.

"Walker?"

"Are you sleepwalking?"

"what happened to him?"

"It's fallen so badly this year!"

"It's not surprising, he hasn't played since last year's playoffs."

"I thought the Celtics had picked up a treasure, but I didn't expect it to be a pit now."

"Hurry up and replace it, it's not as good as Smart."

Walker was scolded in the live broadcast room on the Internet.

Most of them are Celtic fans, who hate iron but steel.

The Knicks started 4:0.

Walker didn't come off the floor as fans had hoped, and continued to dribble forward, handing the ball to Tatum after halftime.

"What a mess."

"This guy is too tiger."

"Smart just took himself as the core, so he dared to make such a reckless shot."

Celtics fans are not happy with Smart again.

"If no one makes a shot, I'm convinced!"

"Can't you practice shooting well?"

"I really don't believe that I can't practice shooting?"

"Look at the Knicks, the shots are too accurate."

"I just said that the Celtics' style of play is not good at all. Even if there is space, it is useless to miss the shot."

"It is basically impossible to play against a strong team."

"Hey, it's hard."

The Celtics fans in the live broadcast room kept complaining.

No wonder they are like this.

The Celtics' defense is indeed good, but the offensive ability is simply incomparable with the Knicks.

The game continues.

"Talent is like this, what can I do?"
