Build a Dream Dynasty

An hour and a half before the start of the game, the TD North Shore Garden Arena was already full of seats. As one of the arenas with the best home atmosphere in the league, the Celtics have been at the forefront of the Eastern Conference since Garnett arrived. Compared with the teams Although the glorious history is not an honor, at least it is a rare happy time after the new century, and the fans give the team the most support. Everyone can see the age problem of the Celtics lineup, relying entirely on the support of a group of veterans, it can be foreseen that the team's reconstruction is not far away, which prompts them to release all their enthusiasm at the team's final peak.

In the Nets team, many young people have experienced this kind of battle for the first time. On the surface, they seem to have no reaction, but deep down in their hearts, only they know whether they are "cowardly before fighting".

After O'Neal was reimbursed for the season, Rivers made a matchup adjustment to adjust Garnett to the center position, and Glenn Davis was on top of the power forward position. This operation is a bit helpless, but it is also a no-brainer. Krstic can still be used in the regular season, but he has served as the starting center for the Nets in the past few years, and his performance in the playoffs has been difficult to say. Rivers does not trust him. The remaining insider of the team Although Jermaine O'Neal is "only" 32 years old, the aura of an All-Star power forward has long faded. Although he is still occasionally outstanding on the offensive end, he can't even do a blue-collar job on the defensive end. For the supreme Celtics, he is more suitable as a substitute.

The game hadn't even started yet, but a stern atmosphere had pervaded the entire arena. Garnett and Baynes stood on both sides of the referee, and Garnett's murderous eyes had already fixed on Baynes.

"The game started. Garnett won this jump ball. The ball came to Rondo. The Celtics took the lead in organizing the offense." With the inflammatory shouts of the TNT live commentator, the Celtics Opened the first offensive organization in the first round of the playoffs.

Rondo didn't rush to bring the ball across the half court immediately. After all, the Nets returned to defense very quickly. He slowly brought the ball across the half court, fiddled with it twice, and handed it over to the inside In the hands of Garnett, under normal circumstances, the first target of Rondo's pass is either Garnett or Pierce.

Garnett leaned on Baynes. He tentatively squeezed a few times and found that Baynes was in a good position. It seemed that there was no chance to make a shot. He gently passed the ball back to the outside.

When the ball is not in his hands, Rondo actively intersperses and runs while watching the six directions. This is what Rivers admires most about him. There are not many point guards in the league who can do this. In an instant, Rondo found Ray Allen who was about to throw off Korver with the help of a screen. With a flick of his wrist, he made a non-stop pass. Shot outside the three-point line.

The moment the ball was released, Ray Allen knew that the ball was there, and he returned to defense without even looking at the result.

"Shua!" In such a noisy arena, the sound of the ball going into the basket still spread to every corner of the arena, and bursts of cheers immediately erupted.

Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, since 2007, the combination of these four people has never changed, and the tacit understanding with each other has reached a very high level. In the regular season, the Celtics may have some strength, but in the playoffs, these four people really deserve the prestige of the "Big Four".

When it was the Nets' turn to attack, Baynes still pulled out of the penalty area to pick and roll for George. His generous body firmly covered Pierce. However, Garnett blocked George's breakthrough route while defending in place. George There was no offense at the first time, and Pierce's defense immediately succeeded in filling the position. The role of the top defender is perfectly reflected at this moment.

How strong are the Celtics? In the playoff history of the past three years, they only lost 3:4 to the Magic in 2009 because of Garnett's injury. That year, the Magic's highest scoring player was not Howard, who averaged 16.4 points and 17.1 rebounds per game, or Turkoglu, who averaged 16.3 points and 5.6 assists per game. The power forward with 4 points + 6.5 rebounds, Lewis of La Salle, was also the player with the highest score of the two teams in that series. Of course, some people may say that the highest score does not mean the greatest contribution. But one season later, the Magic were easily repelled by the Celtics 4:2, and the biggest variable was reflected in Lewis. Under Garnett's defense, Lewis averaged 8+5 per game and his shooting percentage 33%.

If it weren't for the Celtics being so strong that they are desperate, why would James make such a move against the world!

The Nets are indeed a new team in the playoffs. Under the Celtics' tight defense, they are full of loopholes, and the two generals the team can rely on, George, have already been battered in the confrontation with Pierce. Facing Ray Allen, he didn't take advantage of it. Throughout the first half, the Nets seemed helpless against the Celtics, 41:55, 14 points behind is not an exaggeration, but just looking at the game process, there will be a deep sense of despair.

TNT's broadcast footage is often shown to Jiang Mingliang, who is "the driver's personal conquest". Judging from the small actions he had never done before, he still regarded the outcome very seriously.

In the third quarter of the game, Stevens, who was out of ammunition, used Whiteside's hole card. The appearance of Da Baibian brought a different change to the Nets. He was tall, long, and full of vitality. The inside combination of O'Neal and Krstic showed an astonishing performance. They picked up 12 rebounds in a single quarter, 4 of which were offensive rebounds. Facing his explosive impact, the Celtics were in awe. There is a feeling of chaos, the highest point difference of 18 points has also been beaten back to 7 points, and Whiteside has become the surprise player of the Nets in this game.

Even with Lopez on the court, facing the Celtics' seemingly old insider, it is difficult to play this effect, but the fact is so funny. When the technique, tactics, and system cannot be used under the opponent's defense, they simply use their bodies to play. There is a saying that one force will drop ten meetings, and the old master will be beaten to death with random punches, which is the truth.

Facing the voices of the Celtics fans in the audience, Jiang Mingliang let go of his "idol baggage", stood up and applauded Whiteside's wonderful performance loudly.

"Another Cuban!" TNT's guest commentator gave such an evaluation after seeing Jiang Mingliang's reaction.

Among the 30 team owners in the league, only Cuban is crazier than Jiang Mingliang.

However, the game entered the fourth quarter, and the Celtics once again opened up the point difference.

Just like Garnett educated Lewis in the playoffs last year, Wolf King Garnett basically played a face-up inside line with no strength and no back, and basically played one when he saw one, and one pair when he saw two. Although several power forwards have their own strengths, Yi Jianlian has excellent athletic ability, Landry has strong impact, and Anderson has a wide shooting range, but they are all unable to perform against Garnett.

The audience contributed 25 points, 12 rebounds, a large double-double data, and also sent 6 assists and 4 blocks. Garnett's performance alone was better than that of the Nets except Whiteside. The addition of data is even better, leading the Celtics to beat the Nets 114:98, and at the same time won the best player of the game.
