Chapter 148 Watching the Battle with Owen Live

Among all the teams in the Eastern Conference, the Orlando Magic were the first team to solve their opponents, and they took the lead in entering the second round.

Five minutes after An Xiaonan finished the game, he received a call from Kyrie Irving.

An Xiaonan answered the phone very curiously, and asked, "Kayli, what wind brought you here?"

Owen said: "Man, are you interested in watching our Boston game?"

"Aha?" An Xiaonan was taken aback.

Irving continued: "I mean, I invite you to come to Boston to watch the home game against the Bucks tomorrow night. Wouldn't it be good for you to study your opponent in the second round before the game?"

An Xiaonan asked doubtfully, "Kyrie, you're not ready to come to the Magic next season, are you? Helping us like this?"

"Bah, bah, get out if you don't come, anyway, you will definitely be defeated by our Boston team basketball in the second round."

Owen played hard to get and beat An Xiaonan repeatedly: "Wait, wait, Kyrie, what did you just say? You mean, the Celtics have been reborn?"

Owen's giggling voice came from the other end of the phone.

An Xiaonan didn't hesitate any longer: "Okay, I'll go to Boston tomorrow morning to find you, please have lunch."

Afterwards, An Xiaonan hung up the phone, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

What made Irving so confident to invite himself to the game?
Is it strength?
How is it possible, Irving and Hayward are both reimbursed for the season, and now the Celtics have no All-Star players except Horford.

Do the crippled Celtics still want to beat me?
An Xiaonan attended the post-match press conference with doubts in his heart.

An Xiaonan took his seat and glanced at all the journalist friends present.

Reporter: "Ann, what's the secret to your victory over the Pacers tonight? Oladipu played hard, and they still lost."

An Xiaonan: "We all know that Victor is a good scorer, he is naturally good at scoring. They played great, but we were able to make some goddamn shots, and they didn't, so we won."

Reporter: "During the game, you seemed to be provoking Oladipu not to fight big."

An Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Is there such a thing, I forgot!"

Reporter: "You are very likely to face the Boston Celtics in the next round. Are you confident that you can defeat them and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals?"

An Xiaonan: "Dude, the Celtics lack Irving and Hayward, but they are still not to be underestimated. Anyone who underestimates them will definitely be punished. Of course, you still have to have confidence. Let me tell you a secret, just I was on the phone with Kyrie Irving 2 minutes ago, you know what he said to me? He invited me to their game 5, man, he invited me to the game with confidence!"

Reporter: "Can you tell us more about it?"

An Xiaonan: "He thinks that the Celtics have been reborn, even without his existence, they can beat us. Of course, I will never be weak. They don't have a star player now, but the Magic have one. He is sitting in the speak in front of you."

An Xiaonan seemed a little angry.

Reporter: "Okay, this is the last question. I heard that you have been training your three-pointers recently."

An Xiaonan nodded, took a sip of Gatorade which was placed on the table beside him, and acted as an advertisement: "Of course, I train all the time, whether it's these few days or these few moon."

After speaking, An Xiaonan got up and left.

He needed some rest before flying to Boston early the next morning.After arriving in Boston, An Xiaonan will not come back, because he can directly prepare for the match against Boston there.

After a period of travel, An Xiaonan arrived in Boston at nine o'clock in the morning in Celtics G5, and Irving had been waiting at the airport for a long time.

As soon as An Xiaonan saw Irving, he said directly: "Kyrie, what happened to you Celtics? You didn't play well in the last game."

An Xiaonan did his homework. Although the Celtics won the game in G4, they only scored 92 points.

Owen chuckled, stepped forward and patted An Xiaonan on the shoulder: "Take you to taste the breakfast in Boston."

An Xiaonan said angrily, "You don't want to poison me to death and let me get food poisoning, do you?"

Irving raised his eyebrows: "What you said is not very pleasant. Am I like this? If you investigate, you will find that in this series, we Celtics averaged four players who scored in double figures per game."

"Four people... um... um... huh?!"

An Xiaonan nodded and was shocked when he nodded. He raised his head and looked at Owen in disbelief.

That night, the Boston Celtics vs. the Milwaukee Bucks.

An Xiaonan and Irving sat in the front row of the stands. For An Xiaonan's sake, Irving did not sit very close to the Celtics' bench.

An Xiaonan was very satisfied with Owen's detailed move, and the game started soon.

With the start of the playoffs, An Xiaonan found that the Celtics suddenly had an extra player.

He is Terry Rozier who has been playing as Owen's substitute before.

This Rozier's style of play is somewhat similar to that of An Xiaonan. Although he is much worse than An Xiaonan in terms of technique, at least they are comparable in terms of physical fitness.

"This Rozier is really fast, that's why you called me here?" An Xiaonan stared at the court.

Owen didn't speak, just showed a faint smile.

The Celtics couldn't prevent Giannis Antetokounmpo's attack to the basket.

But the Bucks couldn't prevent the Celtics from being all soldiers.

Horford received a pass from Jaylen Brown from beyond the three-point line and made a steady three-pointer.

As a space-based center, Horford does not lack the ability to play hard at the basket. He is just too low-key, otherwise he is definitely the best candidate for the league's first center.

Markieff Morris is responsible for defending Antetokounmpo. Now that An Xiaonan knows it, Owen said that the four scoring in double figures per game refers to Rozier, Brown, Tatum and Horford. As for Morris, His energy is more focused on defending the opponent's core players.

An Xiaonan suddenly felt that it was worthwhile to come to Boston to watch the game live.

With Baynes and Smart brought on, the Celtics began to have a clear purpose.

Baynes and Horford form a twin tower, and Smart is the offensive brain of the team. Their goal is to rush under the Bucks' basket.

Smart averaged seven assists in 27.5 minutes per game in this series.
