Chapter 329 Meeting Hulk Again

To say that this Nene Hilario is really related to Lao Hu, that is, after Lao Hu played that game against the Nuggets when he was still in the Knicks, Nene found testicular cancer during his physical examination. What a huge hit.

The news was announced in January. Before that, Nene basically stopped playing. In mid-January, Nene had surgery, which was naturally a resection.

After Lao Hu found out about this incident, he only felt an inexplicable sadness, and immediately went to the hospital for a general examination. Fortunately, fortunately...

However, even so, there seems to be a kind of "sorrow of the balls"!

Well, ignore these things, Hu and the Mavericks still have to continue their regular season journey. On January 1, the Mavericks will challenge the Grizzlies away.

103 to 84, the Grizzlies are still not the opponent of the Mavericks. Although they still have a "sister-in-law" in charge now, and Rudy Guy has also played, but the Grizzlies are still the Grizzlies, and they are now better than the bears Son.

Six consecutive victories. After defeating the Grizzlies, the Mavericks won six consecutive victories, and this also brought their regular season in January 2008 to a perfect end. The next game will have to wait until February 1st.

However, this opponent on February 2st is not a team with big belly. The Mavericks will fly to Massachusetts to challenge the 'Hulk' Celtics away!

Counting it, this is the second time that Lao Hu has played against the Celtics this season. He played once when he was in the New York Knicks. In the end, he was completely abused by others and lost completely. This time he changed to a different team. Now, what will happen?

To be honest, Lao Hu still has no idea. The key is that the Celtics are too strong this season. Not to mention the Big Three, a bunch of other role players are also playing very well.

In terms of record, they are also very good. The Celtics won 12 consecutive victories at home at the beginning of the season, and then just over a month ago, they won their 30th win, and this record has become the fastest in recent years. Ten wins, tying the Celtics' best start record.

Although, after that, the Celtics slowed down, but their home court is absolutely terrifying!

In the previous game, Lao Hu and the others were still in the New York Knicks, which was actually equivalent to a 'derby', but that's it, the Knicks really lost nothing.

This time Hu's team has been replaced by the Western Conference. It is estimated that the number of fans supporting the Mavericks in the North Shore Garden Arena will be infinitely close to zero.

Of course, Lao Hu estimates that there will still be some fans who support him. This is the advantage of the Chinese, haha.

This is a big battle, so after the Mavericks finished playing the Nuggets, they immediately flew to Boston to adapt to the venue as soon as possible. Although the current North Shore Garden Center is not as bad as it was in the Auerbach era, it is still necessary to adapt early. of.

February 2st is here as scheduled, the Mavericks and Celtics have also made their own preparations, and a big battle is about to be staged!
In terms of lineup, there is no change on both sides. Some old injuries are still hurting all the time, and those who are not injured can basically go to work.

The Celtics have not had many injuries this season, only veteran PJ. Brown was seriously injured after playing for a while, and it seems that he will not return.In addition, Ryan Bowie and Glenn Davis were both injured, but only minor injuries. After missing a few games, they came back to life.

The Mavericks are mostly young people, and there are few injuries. The biggest problem is that Jerome James. No one expects this guy to play at all.

Before the start of the game, the North Shore Garden Arena was packed with people, as if the tickets were free. The arena, which can accommodate nearly 1 people, was full of seats.

"The game is about to start, and I feel like I can't wait. I believe both sides will bring us a wonderful game."

This game was not broadcast by C5 in China, so the domestic celebrities naturally couldn't comment on this game.However, NT Sports Network attached great importance to this game. In addition to sending Barkley and Smith, they also sent a big star, Reggie Miller!

The commentary lineup composed of three legendary superstars is really impressive and enviable. There are too many sports celebrities in the United States!
Of course, Kenny Smith may be a little less famous, but his huge personal portrait is still hung with Olajuwon at the Toyota Center, the home of the Rockets. Moreover, among these three people, Smith has a championship ring .Therefore, the three of them are almost on equal footing, chatting with each other.

"The Mavericks guys come out, let's see who they are, Hulin, Eddie Jones, Nowitzki, David Lee, Diop, this is their strongest lineup, they just won A six-game winning streak, their momentum is booming!..." Smith took the initiative to introduce the lineup of the Mavericks, and he left the grand finale to his old partner.

Naturally, Barkley will not disappoint. He opened his mouth and said with a smile: "As we all know, the Celtics have a very luxurious lineup this season, and their strength is very strong. Let's see who will start today." On the floor. Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Kendrick Perkins. To be honest, I'm very bullish on these guys to win the championship, let's put it this way , with this lineup, even if my grandma leads the team, they can win the final championship!"

"Haha..." The other two superstars couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, Barkley did not disappoint, he still likes to joke so much.

After the national anthem of the United States was sung, the game began.

The jump ball was between Garnett and Diop, but it was clear Garnett was in good shape and the Celtics went first.

Lao Hu's opening task today is to deal with Rajon Rondo. This little guy still has many shortcomings, such as his shooting is still not good, and his experience is still close, but he is no longer very easy to deal with.This guy is growing very fast. Although his shooting is unreliable, he has done a very good job of breaking through, organizing offense, and stealing and defending. He is simply a rising star.

However, Lao Hu still felt that he had an advantage!
This is well-founded. First of all, Lao Hu is taller than Rondo. Secondly, Rondo is only a "sophomore" and his body is not strong enough. In addition, this guy's shooting is not very stable. In defense, Lao Hu can worry less about a few things.

Therefore, under the current conditions, Lao Hu has formulated a very simple defensive plan for himself.

Anti-break, anti-pass.

Then the specific implementation is that Lao Hu lowers his center of gravity, opens his arms, and stretches his teeth and claws there like a crab.

The posture is ugly, but the effect is still good.

In fact, Lao Hu himself didn't know that in this game, Rajon Rondo was quite afraid of Hu Lin.

Nothing else, although the Knicks lost a lot to the Celtics last time, Hu's performance is still the best.Moreover, before this, the Knicks had won many games against the Celtics. Basically, Rajon Rondo was blown up every time, but the last time was better.

In addition, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Lao Hu is now regarded as the top back in this league. Although this guy is still a little humble, the MVP No. 2 of last season is not a white review.

So, in fact, Lao Hu didn't know that every time Rajon Rondo met Hu Lin, he was cautious.

Seeing Lao Hu's posture this time, Rondo murmured in his heart, what new tricks does this guy want to play?

Therefore, with this mentality, it is natural that there is no way to organize the offense well, but Rajon Rondo is quite smart, and he will hand the ball to Paul Pierce or Ray Allen when he reaches the frontcourt, and he will be obedient. He ran to the weak side and acted like he had nothing to do with him.

In fact, that's right, the current Celtics team has too many "boss" players, and Rondo can't be ranked at all. It's better to hand over the ball directly.No, coach Doug Rivers off the field is also very satisfied with Rondo's performance, nodding to Rondo again and again!
As soon as Rondo did this, Lao Hu had no choice but to run to the weak side with Rondo, because now the Mavericks are still man-to-man defense, and Lao Hu's defense is still quite in place.

Moreover, Lao Hu has no way to play some unexpected moves, because Rondo's skills are very good. Not only is he in good shape, but also his arms are extremely long and his hands are extremely big. It took a lot of advantage, and it was difficult for Lao Hu to break the ball.

This makes it interesting, the two point guards of the Mavericks and Celtics, when the Celtics were attacking, they stood by as if nothing happened.

And when the Mavericks were attacking, Lao Hu also wanted to make a breakthrough to tease the opponent, but after a few breakthroughs, Rondo had no fighting spirit at all.And because the Celtics' inside defense is very good, Garnett's athletic ability is super strong, and Lao Hu's breakthrough effect is not good.In the end, he could only concentrate on organizing the attack, otherwise, if the opponent was not in chaos, he would be in chaos first.

Therefore, in the opening first quarter, the fierce duel between the Mavericks and the Celtics seemed to have nothing to do with these two guards.

This is really a very interesting situation, but the other players of the two teams are all at the star level, and the confrontation is really fierce. You score one, and I follow the other, and no one will let the other.So, the 'passiveness' of the two guards went unnoticed by many.

Anyway, the fans won't pay attention, they just need the game to look good.

"Oh ho ho ho!..."

"Celtics, come on!..."

"Get rid of these country bumpkins!..."

　Keep asking for support, thank you!
