In order to defend Anxi, young coach Brad Stevens even had to set up a double point guard combination to make him taller. Marcus Smart appeared in the starting lineup, and although the Celtics' original starting No. 2 Avery Bradley was also very defensive, facing the 2-meter Anxi, his height was really tough.
