Chapter 1046 The Championship Team (Part [-])
"Let's, go. Celtics~!!"

"Let's, go. Celtics~!!"

"Let's, go. Celtics~!!"

In the North Shore Garden Arena, more than 8000 spectators shouted in unison.

The fans here use practical actions to tell you what it is like to watch a game in the place with the strongest sports atmosphere in the United States.

The Celtics' home game against the Clippers is about to begin.

The starting players of both sides have come to the court.

Here Livingston and Bass replaced Hill and Love who were injured and unable to play.

As Bass, who was still playing for the Celtics last season, he also hugged his old teammates one by one before the opening.

Although the team hated the finals last season, Bass still made great contributions to the team's reaching the finals.

Now it has changed from teammates to opponents in a flash. This is the beauty of competitive sports.

While talking, the jump ball ended, and Jordan helped the Clippers jump to the ball without any accident.

The Sharks, who have entered the twilight years of their careers, have long since ceased to play in the sky and escaped from the ground, so they can't compete with Jordan in jumping at all.

Here Livingston dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

"I didn't expect that Bruce would dare to make such a substitution. Use the tall Livingston as a point guard instead of Farmar, who has a more stable shooting ability. Let's see what the effect will be~!!"

Rivers watched, sighing.

Here the Celtics also adopted a transposition defensive strategy.

Let Rondo, who has better defensive ability, match Harden, and let shooter Ray Allen match Livingston.

After all, Ray Allen has to put in a lot of energy on the offensive end.

While talking, Baska grabbed Garnett for a position.

Relying on his tall stature, Livingston transferred the ball in.

Compared with Bass, Garnett is taller, has a longer wingspan, and has a larger defensive area. Although "Wolf King" has also entered the end of his career peak, after all, "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse" , Bass hit Garnett twice on the back, but didn't get a good shot.

"Watching these two matchups reminds me of the team training match last season~, haha~!!"

Rivers sighed as he watched this scene.

Bass did not choose to play hard again, but quickly distributed the ball.

Here George received the ball, facing "Truth" Pierce's defense, George was a little cautious, and quickly passed the ball to Harden.

George's ball handling, especially in one-on-one situations, isn't anything too good.

This is also a technical shortcoming that George needs to solve as soon as possible.

Facing Rondo's defense, Harden dribbled the ball, and it seemed that he didn't have a good way to directly create scoring ability.

Rondo blocked Harden's left hand sideways, just to prevent him from breaking through with his left hand.

"The Celtics are very resolute in adopting zone defense, which shows their confidence in the player's individual defensive ability~"

Lan Shengli watched the game and said.

While talking, Harden saw that time was running out, so he directly dribbled the ball with his right hand and broke through to the inside to kill.

But at the moment there are defensive barriers like Garnett and O'Neal on the inside, it is very difficult for Harden to really attack the basket.

I saw that Harden is also very smart here. After he dribbled one step inside the free throw line, he immediately took a throwing action.

But because of Rondo's interference, this action didn't seem to be able to be done completely comfortably.

"Dum~!!!"

The timer has rung, there is no problem with Harden's shot, but~

Under Rondo's personal interference, Harden made a "three non-stick" shot.

"Yeah!!!"

"Air, ball~!!"

"Air, ball~!!"

Seeing this, the fans immediately cheered and became agitated.

The Clippers didn't even touch the basket for the first time, which is enough to show how strong the Celtics' defense is.

"From the very first round of the game, it puts huge defensive pressure on the opponent, and the offensive players are forced to deform their shots due to the pressure in the opening stage. This is a very strong effect, and this style is also in line with Celtic man~"

Lan Shengli sat on the coach's bench, watching the game calmly and talking.

"In addition, the absence of Love, an important outside support point on our offensive end, is a headache. The absence of Love has obviously compressed our offensive space a lot. High pressure defense, this game seems to be very difficult~!"

Lan Shengli had no expression on his face, but he was already panicking in his heart.

After all, the opponent is the Celtics, last year's Eastern Conference champion team.

While speaking, the Celtics attacked here.

Rondo dribbles the ball.

The Clippers did not switch defenses.

Livingston stared at Rondo, and Harden chased after Ray Allen who was running.

"Livingston, you have to use your height advantage to cover Rondo, and don't let him use the pass to drive the opponent's offense, because the organization point of the Celtics' offense is Rondo, so just pinch him By keeping his passing route, we will be able to contain the opponent's attack as much as possible~!!"

Livingston thought about what Lan Shengli had said in the previous training session, and defended Rondo, and used his two long arms shaking back and forth to interfere with Rondo's vision, so that Rondo could not see his teammates' running positions as much as possible. .

Rondo didn't panic when he saw this, and quickly gave the ball to Garnett who mentioned the top arc three-point line as a support.

Obviously, in addition to Rondo's offensive organization, the Celtics have other points that can create scoring opportunities.

Here Garnett and Pierce started a hand-to-hand pass.

The two of them are passing the ball very tacitly while doing pick-and-roll tactics.

After Garnett passed the ball, he went directly towards the basket, while Pierce also dribbled towards the inside and broke through.

The Clippers' defense here was a little messed up by the cover of two people. Pierce used the change of rhythm to kill the paint.

When the Clippers' defensive attention was on the inside, Pierce suddenly jumped up and then gave the ball to Ray Allen on the wing three-point line.

Harden, who was originally defending Ray Allen, just went to the inside to help defend, but it turned out to be so missed.

After Ray Allen received the ball comfortably, he threw the ball with very standard and coherent movements.

Harden's defense was obviously too late, the ball had already been thrown.

"Swipe~!!!"

The player who made the most three-pointers in NBA history-Ray Allen, made a three-pointer hollow into the net.

The Celtics used the textbook "big three cooperation" tactics in the first attack and scored the first goal.

"Yeah!!!"

The North Shore Garden Arena cheered immediately.

The first attack of the Celtics really shows that they are a team with championship background.
