Chapter 149 The Power of the Celtics
As the competition progressed, An Xiaonan's feeling of shock became stronger and stronger.

Because he finally discovered the horror of this new Celtics.

This Celtics team basically does not rely on personal ability. Smart is a blacksmith. His shots are often ironed, and some people's shots are often ironed.But even so, their overall hit rate is very stable.

Why is this? Because they are all soldiers.

When Jaylen Brown hits the iron, Tatum can make a shot.

When Horford feels bad, Rozier can make a shot.

And their defense is basically seamless. Although they can't stop Antetokounmpo's offense, they are more than enough to defend others.

This makes Antetokounmpo have to forcibly rely on his personal ability to play singles.

But whether it was Morris or the misplaced Rozier and others who defended him, they tried their best to defend.This made Antetokounmpo's shooting percentage decline, and the Bucks' offense was in jeopardy.

An Xiaonan looked back at Owen: "It's not terrible to win, but it's so embarrassing."

Owen chuckled, "That's not sure. I might be able to adapt to this team better when I return next season. We have only one goal." As he spoke, Owen pointed to the championship record hanging above the arena.

An Xiaonan smiled, secretly thinking that Owen is really optimistic.

Although Giannis Antetokounmpo's performance in this game was very eye-catching, after all, it is impossible for him to defeat this green shirt army who is all soldiers.

An Xiaonan secretly admired the tenacity of the Celtics, but at the same time worried that his situation would be as passive as Antetokounmpo?
All this is still unknown.

In this game, the Celtics defeated the Bucks 103:89 and advanced to the second round with a big score of 4:1.

Back at the residence, An Xiaonan immediately began to investigate the performance of the Celtics in all games in the playoffs.

He found that although the young Celtics team had achieved unprecedented results under the leadership of Marshal Stevens, their weaknesses were also obvious, and they were often under pressure in away games.

This is a matter of experience, not everyone is as talented as An Xiaonan.

An Xiaonan is very much looking forward to the confrontation with this brand new Celtics. He can firmly believe that in another year or two, as long as the lineup of this team remains unchanged, they will dominate the league.

Whether it is Tatum, Brown or Smart, they are all extremely talented young people.

After six games, the only undecided Eastern Conference teams are Philadelphia and Cleveland, who will play a tiebreaker at Philadelphia's home court.

Without waiting for these two teams, the league kicked off the first game of the second-round series.

It is worth mentioning the situation in the West. Both the Rockets and the Warriors easily advanced to the second round, while the third-ranked Trail Blazers in the West were swept by the sixth-ranked Pelicans!
This can be said to have shocked the world.

What is also shocking is that Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell directly beat Westbrook into a fool in the matchup with last season's mvp Russell Westbrook!
Jazz 4:2 Thunder advanced to the second round.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, which has the Big Three known as the Cosmic Thunder, went home to fish.

It is almost a foregone conclusion that Paul George and Carmelo Anthony will leave this summer.

The first game of the second round of the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics vs. the Orlando Magic.

At the same time, there will be a tiebreaker between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Both sides enter the game.

After An Xiaonan stepped onto the court, he found Jason Tatum, who was also a rookie with him.

Jayson Tatum is a handsome guy with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and handsome looks. An Xiaonan said: "Hi, Tatum, I watched your last game, and you performed well."

Tatum scored a team-high 22 points in the last game, and 22 points is already the highest in the team.

Tatum said: "Thank you, and good luck tonight."

Obviously Tatum didn't want to talk to An Xiaonan.

Talking is useless.

An Xiaonan's expression changed slightly, and he retreated to the backcourt.

The game starts, both sides jump the ball in the middle circle.

Horford's jump ball was unsuccessful, and the first possession fell to the Magic.

Facing the booing of the audience in away games is already a compulsory course. Basically, players who cannot adapt to away games have to be eliminated.

An Xiaonan has already adapted.

After coming to the frontcourt, An Xiaonan seemed to intend to imitate the Celtics' team basketball.He knew the game would be tough if he scored hard from the start and didn't let his teammates throw away.

After a series of tactics, Jonathan Simmons missed a mid-range jumper, Tatum took off the rebound and dribbled it directly to the frontcourt, and then passed it to Jaylen Brown at a 45-degree angle.

Brown was about to shoot when he received the ball, and An Xiaonan quickly flew to cover him.But Brown was prepared, it was a feint!
An Xiaonan was shaken away!
Brown dribbled the ball again, and when he shot an open three-pointer, the audience was already cheering.

"Swipe!" The first three-pointer was hit!
The audience burst into cheers, and the Celtics crushed the Magic in momentum on the first goal.

An Xiaonan was not discouraged, but dribbled the ball steadily to the frontcourt, and he would not change his mind.

You must mobilize your teammates to win.

An Xiaonan made a wonderful pass and lobbed the ball into Gordon's hands, and then everyone else pulled aside.

Gordon singles Morris.

With a back hit, Gordon headed fiercely inside, and then scored the ball with a hook.

2: 3.

The Celtics attacked again, this time Rozier missed a mid-range shot.

An Xiaonan rushed forward when Vucevic passed the ball, and then passed the ball back to Gordon with a hit.Gordon received the ball and shot directly from the three-point line.

The audience held their breath and watched the basketball whirling in the air nervously.

As a result, the ball bounced out of the box.

Horford hit the frontcourt one-stop, and then the Celtics began to play tactics.

In the end Horford catches the ball from beyond the arc and gets room for the shot!
Vucevic was taken aback. Seeing that Horford was about to make a shot, he rushed to the cold.

The experienced Horford directly shook Vucevic away, and then broke through.Seeing that Gordon came over to defend, he quickly passed the ball to Morris.

Morris catches the ball under the rim and jumps up for a two-handed dunk!
Shocking cheers erupted from the audience.

An Xiaonan took the serve, feeling bad in his heart.

After these few offenses, we can see that the Celtics played very well in the opening game tonight, and the Magic felt a little overwhelmed.

It's only been a minute since it started.

An Xiaonan comforted himself with the thought.

Fournier made a three-point shot!
when!
miss!
An Xiaonan knew that his teammates would not be able to open it for a while.
