This Forward is Not Serious

The Celtics' Big Three successfully won the championship in their first season, and they defeated their old rivals, the Lakers.

In the words of fans: The light of the Green Army shines on the league, and Onibach's soul can rest in peace.

But for three old guys, one championship is not enough!

No matter what, there have to be two.

Especially for Garnett.

If you want to compete for the best power forward in history, how can you do it without a FMVP in your career!

So the Celtics are still performing well, ranking second in the Eastern Conference behind the Cavaliers who are at the top of the Eastern Conference...

Their current goal is naturally to catch up with the Knights.

A piece of news: The Cavaliers just defeated the Magic 103-89.

After the Cavaliers traded for O'Neal, many people were worried about his compatibility with James, including many well-known media figures.

But in fact, O'Neal has not partnered with super giants who are not good at outside shooting. The last Wade was a breakthrough super giant.

Therefore, the key to his partnership with James is not the so-called compatibility issue, but his own status.

Facts also proved that Lin Ying's judgment was accurate. O'Neal was in excellent form this season. He still suppressed the peak Howard in the game!

This wave of Cavaliers has put a lot of pressure on the Celtics, and they also need a victory to stabilize their fluctuating military morale.

The Nuggets, who had just gone through chaos and trades, were the ones who hit the gun.

A crucial game for both sides.

The next night, the North Shore Garden Arena was packed.

The logos and KT boards of the Big Three can be seen everywhere in the arena, which all show how hot the ball market in Boston is today.

Although Boston is not a big city like Los Angeles and New York, its glorious history gives basketball an unparalleled influence in this city.

Especially when the Big Three won the championship again after 22 years, the city's basketball atmosphere once again reached its peak.

Yeah, it's a green patch.

Lin Ying felt a lot of pressure.

No wonder the Celtics have such a high home winning percentage.

If you’re not afraid of green, what are you afraid of?

During the appearance ceremony, Lin Ying saw Garnett's exclusive combo appearance method with his head on the basket, beating his chest and roaring.

Still so...

Iron-blooded.

After the appearance ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced.

Nuggets: Billups, Duntay Jones, Anthony, Lin Ying, Nene

Celtics: Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins

Jump ball from Nene and Garnett.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Nene moved the ball back to half court, and the Nuggets took the lead in attacking.

Billups controlled the ball and advanced steadily, pushing his butt against Rondo to prevent it from being intercepted, and then signaled Anthony to take a single position.

He gives the ball very quickly, and after giving the ball, he backs away early.

Unexpectedly, Billups already knew Anthony so well in the Nuggets' first game.

"Dang!"

Anthony's first shot missed.

At his peak, Pierce was one of the top five small forwards in the league and was very strong on both offense and defense.

Even without the Celtics' powerful defensive system, he would still be uncomfortable for Anthony one-on-one.

Especially since Anthony hasn't put on weight yet.

However, the Celtics' fast break did not start. Billups retreated early and directly blocked Rondo's fast break.

I have to say, competition experience is really a good thing.

Lin Ying was also observing carefully.

And what he sees is different from others.

Duncan told him before that he should judge when to attack and when to pass.

But because this is based on experience, more can only be accumulated through competition.

So this wave of Billups is giving him on-site teaching.

Moving into position, the Celtics also played their signature off-the-ball positional warfare tactics.

It's just... useless.

If you just look at the highlights, you will think Rivers is a tactical genius.

However, in fact, the Celtics have too few tactical routines for positional warfare, and they can even be summarized into three axes:

Ray Allen off the ball, Pierce singles, and Pierce and Garnett's pick-and-roll.

This is also the main reason why the Celtics average low points per game.

The Celtics under Rivers are obviously a defensive team.

Of course, you can't say that using the Big Three in this way is wrong. After all, they already have a championship in hand.

Nene protects the defensive rebound.

Garnett immediately stepped forward to press, and the Celtics quickly retreated to the backcourt.

The key to tonight's game is still how to break through the Celtics' defense.

Billups reached out and signaled Lin Ying to play an off-ball pick-and-roll for Jones.

The Celtics switch defenses very quickly, and Garnett has the ability to defend from one to five.

But Billups then signaled Lin Ying to drop low, and then fed the ball in.

The Nuggets' most commonly used tactic this season: Lin Ying's misplaced call.

It’s just that the way it was launched is very unique.

It can be said to be a feint, or it can be said to be a progressive tactic, and the effect is very good.

Moreover, the defensive capabilities of the five Celtics on the field are all excellent, and Ray Allen is a relatively easy breakthrough point.

The Celtics attacked directly.

Pierce quickly came over from the weak side to defend.

Lin Ying immediately gave the ball to Anthony.

However, the Celtics' defense was really too fast. Anthony had just received the ball and Garnett had already switched defenses.

Anthony turned into Pixiu and couldn't get out, and he swayed past Garnett for a layup.

"boom!"

He was directly slapped by Garnett!

Garnett reacted quickly after grabbing the defensive rebound and directly promoted the defensive counterattack.

Fortunately, Billups reacted quickly enough and committed an early foul the moment Rondo held the ball.

Ray Allen, who was already about to leave, ran away in vain.

Although this wave of fouls was correct, it also cost Billups a foul.

Nearly 2 minutes into the game, the Nuggets didn't score a point, and Anthony also made consecutive shots to no avail.

Billups brings some experience to the Nuggets, but nothing much seems to change.

But the next second, the change came.

When the Celtics went to serve the ball in the backcourt, he pulled Anthony to communicate.

He was not talking about Anthony's offensive options, nor was he saying that Anthony should move without the ball, but... his offensive positioning!

"When Lin is holding the ball, you need to keep a distance of more than 3 meters from him. At that distance, Garnett will not have time to change defense, and you can score easily."

This wave is very thin!

And, to the point.

After Anthony listened...

Nod!

Lin Ying was nearby at this time, and he was not surprised by Anthony's reaction.

Because what Billups said is indeed the simplest but most effective.

Tell Anthony what he should do, and it is something he can do easily, instead of accusing him of what he didn't do well!

This is not even a question of communication skills, it is simply... strong!

That's not about personal ability, but about the ability on the field!

Pierce's singles were blocked by Lin Ying, and Garnett's tip-in was also interfered with by Nene.

The Celtics' offense also failed to score. The two teams played for three minutes in the opening period and failed to score a single point!

This is how the Celtics play, scoring is the hardest thing on the field!

Billups advanced to the frontcourt to continue his tactical gestures, and Lin Ying continued to screen Jones and create mismatches.

Ray Allen tried to lower his weight and withstood the wave, but failed.

Lin Ying has gained 105 kilograms this season, which is a full ten kilograms more than him. In addition, Lin Ying has developed strong core strength, so the two are not on the same level.

Question: Why not play the lighter Rondo in mismatches?

Answer: Rondo is as tricky as Paul. It will not be easy for him to catch the ball first, not to mention his various precise cuts when defending.

Short Paul and skinny Rondo, those who can stay on the court without being caught and beaten by the opponent, all have specific survival skills.

Pierce was once again forced to help defend, and Lin Ying decisively continued to pass the ball.

This time, Anthony stood far enough away.

Before Garnett's defense was in place, Anthony had already caught the ball and made a pull-out.

"Uh-huh!"

This melon is so sweet!

After the shot, Anthony reached out and clenched his fist, took the initiative to find Lin Ying for a high-five, and then looked at Billups.

He now has an extremely clear and firm voice in his heart: Compared to Iverson, Billups is the kind of point guard he wants!

Lin Ying also played very well.

Because the Celtics didn't dare to attack casually in the next round, he ran over Ray Allen to the low post, then turned around and hit the board to score!

Carl is even better.

Sure enough, it's not that there is a problem with his tactics, but that there is a lack of a player on the field who can coordinate everyone!

Billups is the perfect candidate!

Originally, when Iverson was traded, he had a quarrel with Dean Walken, but in the end he had no choice but to do it because he knew it was Kroenke's decision.

but now……

So delicious!

Kroenke is indeed a world-renowned sports tycoon, and he knows sports very well!

After the first quarter, the Nuggets led the Celtics by 10 points 26-16!

Although 26 points are not many, you can definitely feel the intensity of the Celtics' defense from the opening.

This score was scored under this kind of defensive intensity, which shows that the Celtics' defensive system failed.

Data is the best evidence.

Anthony missed his first two shots, but then he regained his form and scored 11 points in a single quarter.

You may not believe it, but he even made a beautiful run without the ball under the step-by-step guidance of Billups!

You see, it’s not like you can’t run without the ball!

Of course, the biggest headache for the Celtics in this quarter was Lin Ying and his misplaced singles tactics.

Lin Ying is too unique.

In the transition period between the substitutes in the second quarter, the Nuggets continued to be on full fire. When the main force came back, the Nuggets even extended their lead to 15 points!

This is exciting for Nuggets fans.

This has brought back the feeling at the beginning of the season, no, it is more exciting than the beginning of the season!

Because they even felt that the Nuggets had defense!

And it’s still a bit strong!

The Nuggets fans were happy, but the Celtics fans in the arena were dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on!

The Nuggets in turmoil are actually playing with their Big Three?

What's happening? It's unscientific!

Rivers was a little angry.

The Celtics' defensive intensity increased significantly on the field.

Moreover, Garnett no longer gives Lin Ying the opportunity to easily misplace singles.

His flexibility was indeed strong enough, and Lin Ying could not find any mismatch opportunities in consecutive rounds.

And Garnett is not only flexible with his body, but also with his tongue.

That trash talk can make you feel like there are flies buzzing in your ears all the time.

Lin Ying had known that Garnett was good at trash talking, but he didn't expect that he could talk so endlessly.

That’s basically Tang Seng’s American branch!

But he ignored it.

After all, he's not really 19.

As a result, this made Garnett feel very uncomfortable.

However, after he came to his senses, he did not give up, but began to increase the intensity of his trash talk.

He was the one who could wish Duncan a happy Mother's Day after his mother passed away.

"Yellow people are really all soft, they can't even respond to trash talk", "Hey, is your dick as soft as your playing style?"...

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.

Lin Ying thinks Garnett is boring enough.

Can't we learn from Duncan's good example like him?

Look at Comrade Duncan, what a good comrade he is, he never talks such nonsense.

Wouldn't it be better to save the energy for trash-talking and do other things?

You are also a 33-year-old comrade!

Garnett was truly stunned.

Have you really become a Buddhist? Don’t have any firewood? !

And just when he was confused, Lin Ying made a beautiful turn and cut in, received Billups' pass and dunked directly!

Wow ya ya!

Garnett is so angry.

Don't talk about this feeling, he is really familiar with it.

Because that's how Duncan dealt with him!

There was news before that Lin Ying studied under Duncan, and it seems to be true!

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Garnett immediately denied this after coming back to his senses.

Others can never imitate Duncan's temperament.

He's going to use his ultimate move!

On the offensive end, he received a pass from Pierce during a pick-and-roll, and he raised his hand and hit a big jump shot!

This, of course, is not his ultimate move.

After returning to the defensive end, his ultimate move began to come.

Still trash talk.

But this time, he started bringing his family with him.

“Your girlfriend tastes like donuts!”

This time, the trash talk that will be sprayed against Anthony in the future is used directly in advance!

And after finishing speaking, Garnett's face was filled with pride.

Be angry, young man! Shake your fist bravely at me!

As far as he knew, Lin Ying was always accompanied by a Chinese girl, who should be his girlfriend.

Moreover, this kind of extremely insulting trash talk is indiscriminate in killing people. No matter which country they are from, they will be angry when their girlfriend is insulted.

He even knew that Lin Ying was a ruthless character, so he stepped back in advance and was ready to dodge.

He didn't want to really get beaten like Bowen.

However, what happened next surprised him and even everyone present.

Lin Ying quickly reached out towards Garnett.

Garnett stepped back, but he didn't have time to fully retreat.

Just when he broke into a cold sweat, thinking that he was going to be punched by Lin Ying.

However, he suddenly felt his lips being touched by Lin Ying.

Ah this...

Others were stunned, including the referee on the sidelines.

Lin Ying, what is this special hobby?

But Lin Ying's next words shocked everyone.

"Is it sweet?"
