Chapter 527: Yellow-green war! !

Facts have proved that Bird is still in a bad light compared to the old Nelson in the matter of showing bad news.
From the perspective of the time, it is really not something ordinary people can do to replace Nelson, Big Ben, and Richardson in one breath.
But Old Nelson did just that.
As a result, the Warriors have a poor record because there are fewer people who can play.
But also because there are few players, Livingston and Durant's statistics are very beautiful.
Especially after watching the Wizards and Lakers game, Livingston and Durant seem to have opened up the two lines of Ren Du.
Open the Trailer, Livingston 17 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Durant 29 points;
Playing the Hornets, Livingston 15 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, Durant 34 points;
Playing the Pacers, Livingston had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists, Durant 45 points!
Especially against the Pacers, Durant not only gained his first 40+ in his career, refreshed his career scoring record, but also led his team to an end of a 3-game losing streak!
This game also allowed Barkley to blow Durant for a full week.
The words Sun Hao taught Durant to say at the time made Barkley's attitude towards Durant take a big turn.
Of course, this game is indeed worth blowing.
Because of this game, Durant enjoys Granger and Deng's wheel defense.
Deng's defense has always been excellent. You can say that he is a weakened version of Artest.
Then there is Granger.
Granger may give people the impression that they are strong offensive and weak, but in fact Granger’s defense has always been tough and belongs to the league's first-class level.
In fact, if it weren't for injuries, it's hard to say what a brilliant career he could have.
In the face of such two outstanding defenders, Durant took what he learned from Sun Hao to the extreme.
No matter how good your defense is, I can't help you.
No matter how good you fight, if I run without the ball, you can't help it!
This is why Livingston got 16 assists, because most of them were given to Durant!
The old Nelson and the Warriors management woke up from their dreams.
Two supernovas are about to be trained, and they also have the opportunity to win the No. 1 lottery.
Even if you can't get the No. 1 pick, this year's draft year, pick a newcomer that the team lacks, and a wave of reconstruction will be completed.
Time came to early April.
The season is about to end.
At this time, a game became the focus of fans' attention.
Lakers VS Celtics.
A long-awaited game by fans.
According to the news recently released, although it is the end of the season, both teams are vying for a better playoff ranking.
At the same time, in order to figure out the possible finals, both teams will play the main players in this game.
In other words, really fight!
Generally, at the end of the season, the playoffs have not yet started, and fans have begun to wait boringly.
At this time, there is such a "king-to-king" game, which is definitely a big benefit for the fans.
Moreover, there is another important reason why this game is so concerned.
In order to create a gimmick, what Garnett said in an interview before was turned out.
"Aren't you supposed to ask Sun and Shaq if he can beat us?"
This sentence Garnett said when he first joined the Celtics attracted a lot of discussion at the beginning.
It's just because the two teams didn't play at that time, and no matter how hot the conversation was, it didn't last.
But now, the two teams are finally going to come head-to-head, and naturally they are on fire again.
You said that if you change to a normal team and you are challenging the Lakers, you will probably be beaten in the face while watching the show.
But the Celtics are the Big Three team, the most promising team to win, just won the Wizards not long ago.
If you really want to say the result of the game, the probability of Garnett's pretending to succeed is greater than that of being beaten in the face.
Therefore, the game with unknown outcome is what fans really look forward to.
"If Boston wins the game, I will give you $100,000, and if it loses, you will give me $100,000."
How could there be no Barkley on such an occasion.
In addition, the TNT program team has also paid a lot of money to bring in Celtics, the current Pacers general manager, Larry Bird.
The sentence just now was a bet between Barkley and Bird.
Well, Barkley made a bet again, and it was Bird.
Who doesn't know that Bird is "forcing the king"! The biggest preference in life is to pretend to be forced, but there is a buff bonus that pretends to be successful!
Barkley made a bet with him, and he was still on the side of the inferior Lakers. This is to see Bird's recent pocket leak and give him pocket money!
In the eyes of most people, Barkley is going to be beaten in the face again like his previous donkey butt!
The focus of the battle, plus Garnett's saliva, Barkley's bet, is like lighting, photography, and props are all in place, just waiting to see the main show!
On the night of the game, the Boston North Shore Garden Arena was highly anticipated.
Like the previous Wizards Lakers game, the arena is also in a state of "overload".
Well, Durant and Livingston went to watch the game again.
The last time they watched the game was a great harvest for the two of them, so naturally they would not miss this opportunity.
Only this time Sun Hao couldn't directly send tickets to the two of them, because this game was played in Boston.
Think about it when O'Neal asked his relatives to ask for some tickets from the Clippers next door, but didn't get them. This yellow-green opponent, Sun Hao had very limited tickets.
But the two... still sat in the fourth row of the auditorium!
Although he could not get the tickets from Sun Hao, Fu Paul managed to get the tickets for the two of them.
Durant thinks Sun Hao's agent is really a good man.
But everyone around him could see that Fu Paul was in love with Durant.
No one said that there can only be one player under the agent.
Moreover, developing Sun Hao's disciples is also normal.
It is even possible that in the future, he can match the two to play in the same team, which is a wonderful thing.
On the sidelines, Sun Hao was chatting with Millsap at this time.
Before playing well against the Wizards, at the end of the season, Phil Jackson gave Millsap a lot of playing time.
If it weren't for Millsap's height to be too short, it is estimated that Phil Jackson would have been sent to the position of the backup center.
People who work hard are often so loved.
Sun Hao is also happy to guide him.
"Watch the floor more when you are off the court, and see which floor is prone to dribbling errors."
Millsap was stunned when he heard it, but he just did as Sun Hao explained.
After the explanation, Sun Hao glanced at the bench.
He thought of Esley again. When he first joined the league, if he hadn't been a knowledgeable person, he might have been caught.
The game is about to begin, and both sides have started to debut.
Said to be the main force, both sides did not reserve.
On the Lakers side, Sun Hao, Hill, Ariza, Walker, O'Neal;
Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins over the Celtics.
In the appearance ceremony, Garnett even used his most classic chest thumping roar.
This also brought the North Shore Garden Arena to a climax before the opening.
In the past few years, I have watched the Lakers' various championships reap, and the number of Lakers' titles has not only increased until they surpassed them.
Finally!
After waiting for so many years, it was finally their turn to fight back!
Come on, let the rivals in Los Angeles take a look and see how strong our Big Three are!
"Charles, did you hear that? There are 20,000 people who want to see you send money to Larry today."
The commentary, Kenny Smith has also started.
"Have you brought the money?"
After the ridicule, Smith turned his head and asked Barkley.
"Who brought that?"
Barkley said he didn't bring anything.
Bringing money means sending money out. He doesn't do such unlucky things.
Smith shook his head and turned his gaze to Bird again.
But before Smith could speak, Bird took out something from under the table.
A big suitcase.
This scene directly confuses Smith and Barkley.
After waiting for a while, after they reacted, they just snorted.
What is the suitcase for?
Collect money!
Why come out with the suitcase?
Ready to collect money!
Regarding pretense, Bird said second, no one dared to say first!
"Larry, in fact, 100,000 dollars don't need such a big suitcase."
Barkley reminded.
Byrd shrugged, it wasn't a question of pretending.
"But this suitcase is pretty good-looking. If I win, I will take this suitcase too."
Buckley never admits counseling.
This scene in the commentary can be said to have filled the appetite of the audience in front of the TV.
Because this bet is more than just a $100,000 thing.
If Barkley loses, then his label of "every gamble must be lost" cannot be removed.
If Bird loses, then "Forcing the King" encounters Waterloo, even if this "boy's body" is broken by Barkley!
The enthusiasm outside the field can no longer be high, the game on the field is about to start, and the two sides are waiting for the starter.
Garnett, beat his chest again to cheer himself up after playing.
Sun Hao couldn't help but take another look.
In fact, the celebration of chest beating is not uncommon in the NBA, but Garnett is the first to make this a personal label.
His only doubt is that he has been hammering like this... Doesn't it hurt?
"beep!"
Before he could think about it, O'Neal sent the ball back to the Lakers half court with a whistle from the sidelines.
The yellow-green war has officially begun!
Like the Wizards before, the Lakers are still attacking inside O'Neal.
Perkins is defending O'Neal.
Sun Hao is very familiar with Perkins and should be regarded as the best defensive inside player in the 03 generation.
The height of 2.0 meters 08, but the weight is 127 kg, the key is muscle, really as strong as a cow.
Celtics fans also call him the team's "strongest low-post defender in the 21st century."
In this first round, the Celtics did not help defend, and Perkins tried hard to top O'Neal.
Don't tell me, Perkins is like a big bet, O'Neal is so hard to make him.
However, O'Neal hit the small hook that hadn't moved and turned around.
Perkins raised his hand hard, but he soon discovered that there was no use for eggs.
The reason O'Neill is so incomprehensible is because all his talents are top-notch.
Weight, strength, height, wingspan, and the flexibility I found after losing weight this season.
The advantage of Perkins is strong, but the disadvantage is slow. If he can be fast, he will be a big part of the plus version.
"Huh!"
Under Perkins' gaze, the basketball hollowed into the net.
O'Neal took the lead for the Lakers!
Facts have proved that even for the 35-year-old O'Neal, only Yao Ming can match him one-on-one in the league.
No matter how powerful other people are, they can't be seen enough in front of O'Neill.
Rivers on the sidelines saw this scene and stretched out his hand to make a tactical gesture.
He didn't expect Perkins to really guard against O'Neal, which is obviously trying to test O'Neal's state tonight.
In this state, well, you still have to double-team.
The Celtics came the first attack.
Garnett responded at the free throw line. Pierce and Perkins set up a pick-and-roll on both sides. Ray Allen cut from a 45° angle and used the pick-and-roll to find a three-point opportunity. Perkins went to the basket after the pick-and-roll, and Pierce took advantage of the situation. Go out.
In this round, except for Garnett, who holds the ball, the other four Celtics are moving.
Basketball aesthetics.
The positional attack of this team alone is enough to be included in the textbook level.
Ray Allen ran for a three-pointer opportunity, and Garnett took the opportunity to pass the ball.
"Huh!"
Ray Allen raised the knife and fell.
3 to 2!
Both teams started to test each other.
From the effect point of view, both sides are in good condition.
This also increased the fans' expectations of the game again.
It is important to know that strong teams also have good and bad conditions. If one party is in a bad state, then this kind of strong matchup may soon be determined.
O'Neal caught the ball again in the low post, and as soon as he turned around, Garnett's help came.
If the Wizards' Artest relied on excellent single defense and assisted defense capabilities, he could barely play the "self-defense system" effect.
Then Garnett is a typical defensive system.
When O'Neal divided the ball to Walker in the corner, Garnett waved his long arm and returned to the defense.
Walker didn't have a good phone meeting. He waited until Garnett helped defend and then dropped the ball to O'Neal.
However, Garnett's help immediately went back.
Halftime is not small, but halftime is so big.
For Garnett, a super insider with fast moving speed, high height, long wingspan, and top defensive awareness, there is no time to go back and forth.
Unless the Lakers want to spend 24 seconds here, they have to switch offense.
O'Neal directly chose to attack.
But under Garnett's interference, his shot failed to hit.
And Garnett grabbed a defensive rebound with his long arm.
Perkins can't defend O'Neal one-on-one, but with Garnett, it's not easy for O'Neal to score.
Garnett gave it to Rondo as soon as he got the ball.
This rookie only took less than half a season to win the recognition of the Big Three.
The Celtics launched a fast break, and Ray Allen received a pass from Rondo and flew for a layup.
Unlike the Pistons who deliberately suppress the game rhythm, although the Celtics attach great importance to positional warfare, their fast break is also very good.
"boom!"
It's just that Ray Allen has just shot the ball, and a figure is shot from behind, and a top hat is directly behind him!
Sun Hao!
Do you think bounce can only be used to dunk? !
And after Sun Hao used his ability to stay in the air after blocking the shot, he directly grabbed the rebounded ball!
The Celtics' fast break came without success!
There was a stir at the scene, and the fans in front of the TV were excited.
Collision between strong teams, even defense can make people burst into blood.
And more importantly, the temptations on both sides only lasted one round, and then immediately went straight to the topic!
The Lakers have the ball, Sun Hao has the ball in the front court, and the defender is Ray Allen.
Speaking of Ray Allen, the most impressive thing fans have of him is the three-pointer.
Older fans may also know that his athletic ability is also very good, from time to time staged breakout dunks.
But defense alone is rarely mentioned.
Because before joining the Celtics, his defense has always been relatively poor, even the league average.
This aspect is related to the role the coaching staff requires him to play. Whether it is the Bucks or the Sonics, he is the team's first choice on the offensive end;
On the other hand, it is because of his average physical resistance.
But this season in Boston, his defensive performance has improved tremendously.
There are bonuses to the Celtics' defensive system, and there are reasons for his own adjustments.
His confrontation is not good, but his footwork is very flexible, which allows him to do very well when assisting defense and defensive positions.
So at the beginning of the game, Rivers arranged for him to defend Sun Hao.
Some people may ask Rondo?
Rondo is still a rookie right now!
Even Rivers would not arrange a rookie to defend against Sun Hao.
Just like, who will arrange rookies to guard against Jordan?
Not to mention the abuse, the key is that this behavior will be regarded as a provocation.
Sun Hao didn't call the pick-and-roll and chose one-on-one singles.
Ray Allen's footsteps were really good, but Sun Hao didn't move away.
Sun Hao took the initiative to get close and confronted him physically, and Ray Allen was squeezed away after the confrontation.
But at this moment, Rondo's defense arrived!
Compared with the Wizards, the Celtics' overall defense awareness is one step higher!
Sun Hao's reaction was quick, and the ball went to Hill's side at the first time.
"Snapped!"
But what he didn't expect was that Rondo made a strenuous save and broke the ball!
Although Rondo is a rookie and lacks defensive experience, his defensive awareness is very good, and the key is his hand!
When it comes to poor arm span, the first reaction in most people's minds may be Kawhi Leonard.
His height is 2.01 meters, but his wingspan is 2.21 meters, and his height difference is 20cm.
It is precisely because of this that he often staged various steals in the game, described by the fans as "death entanglement".
But Rondo's height and arm span difference reached 22cm! !
The height of 1 meter 85, the wingspan of 2 meters 06!
With this physical condition, coupled with his excellent defensive awareness, steals have become one of his unique skills.
The most classic in history is the 2008 Finals G6. He sent 6 steals in a single game to help the Celtics win the Lakers championship.
Even in his rookie season, he had 7 steals in a single game.
Rondo quickly launched a fast break after stealing, and the Celtics also moved quickly.
"Snapped!"
But something unexpected happened again!
Sun Hao caught the moment Rondo looked up and watched his teammates move, and shot from behind to grab the ball back! !
After completing the steal, Sun Hao quickly took the ball and passed it to the basket, O'Neal, who had no time to retreat.
O'Neal held the ball and bowed, then used his force to hang the frame with both hands and buckle!
"Boom!"
The huge impact made the basket sway for a while.
The scene was in an uproar.
Their eyes can't keep up with the rhythm of the court a bit!
In fact, not only the fans, but the three people in the commentary booth also stopped chattering, and they were all intently commenting on the game.
Because the defensive strength and tactical execution on the field are in a perfect state!
You can even say that tactics are no longer the most important factor in determining the situation of the game at this time, the details are!
The Celtics' frontcourt attack, Hill bypassed the continuous pick-and-roll this time to follow Ray Allen, the Celtics did not fight the position.
The ball finally reached the low hand Garnett.
Garnett hit Walker with the ball back, turned to the baseline and stepped to the basket.
"boom!"
However, O'Neal predicted the ball and released Perkins in advance to help defend. After head-on with Garnett, he directly slapped the ball out of the field!
After blocking the shot, O'Neal looked at Garnett coldly.
Garnett... didn't say a word.
The Celtics sent a sideline ball, and Garnett continued to play singles with the ball. This time he chose to turn back to the baseline.
He successfully thrown off Walker, and O'Neal did not have time to help defend.
It's just that at the moment he shot, Ariza killed him behind him. Although it was not covered because of his height, he slapped him in the hand.
This almost knocked Garnett to the ground.
When Garnett stopped, he turned around with the ball and hit Ariza.
Seeing to fight on the court.
The scene was restless.
The intensity of this competition is going to heaven! !
But this is also expected.
Just like the signal released before the game, this was the only time the two teams faced each other before the possible finals.
The coach may have Paul tactically, but the players are definitely going all out on the court.
Then, in fact, you don't need to look at it, you can also imagine five, and the five super giants with excellent offensive and defensive games will be like.
Just like this, every round and every detail will make people burst into blood!
"I like this game!"
Bird couldn't help but say in the commentary.
Although the scene that was about to dry up on the court at this time said that this was a bit inappropriate, he still couldn't help it.
Because he really hasn't seen such high-quality offensive and defensive games in a few years.
Certainly some people will say that the Pistons and Spurs, but those two teams actually deliberately suppressed the rhythm of the game.
Especially the Pistons, if it weren't for Anthony's presence, the game would be dull and ugly.
But the two teams in front of them are all fighting offense and defense, fighting for details.
Such a game is too interesting to watch.
Well, Bird's feeling is right.
This is why the 2009~2010 finals in history will be called the most watchful finals by fans.
Because it is the same as the current game!
The difference is that because the players are more capable, the intensity of the game is even higher than that!
In the high-intensity confrontation, after the first quarter, the score on the court was 24 to 17.
The Celtics lead.
In this rhythm of the game, teams with better defense have an obvious advantage.
This situation excites the fans in front of them.
During the All-Star Game, fans felt that the Lakers trio was stronger.
But in the regular season, it turns out that their Big Three are even better! !
During the first and second quarters, Sun Hao sat off the court to rest.
He was also panting.
The intensity of the game was even higher than he expected.
"These guys are desperate."
O'Neill wiped his sweat with a towel and couldn't help but vomit.
Playing the Celtics and the Wizards gave him a completely different feeling, and the constant defense made him feel uncomfortable.
If it hadn't been for a long time, he would have to complain about Stern's "illegal defense".
If it wasn't that, he could beat Perkins' out.
"They are losers."
Sun Hao took over.
O'Neal, who was still depressed one second, touched his head and laughed the next second.
Because of Durant's "credit", the original inspirational words have become a stalk.
But to be honest, when three frustrated guys play together, the desire to win cannot be formed.
Not to mention that they are already strong.
"But if we bite the score, the situation is good for us, defense is very physical, and..."
Sun Hao said and glanced at the score.
"Their substitutes are not good."
On the court, the Lakers' benches are already chasing the score back!
The Celtics' substitute, Tony Allen is still very immature, and lacks a lot of powerful players such as Glen Davis, Posey, Kassel, etc., which is a grade worse than in history.
Rivers couldn't help but put the Big Three on the court ahead of time, and the Celtics stabilized the situation again.
Here Phil Jackson also followed up with the main players.
Then as the game continued, although it was slow, the Lakers still chased the score back a little bit.
At this moment, Millsap knew why Sun Hao asked him to pay attention to the floor before the game.
It was an offense by the Lakers, and Hill had a beautiful backcut to get a chance for himself.
And in the face of Garnett who helped defend, Hill also made another beautiful turnaround jumper.
It's just that Hill didn't know why the ball didn't get dribble when he turned around. The center of gravity of the ball was low and he went out of bounds!
Most people can't find out what the situation is without looking carefully.
Even Hill himself was confused.
Sure enough, something!
After halftime, the score on the court was 43 draws!
Although the Celtics had an advantage in the first quarter, as Sun Hao said, the bench was weak, coupled with defensive physical consumption, the Lakers chased the score back.
By the second half, the situation of the game has changed compared with the first half.
This time it was the Lakers' opening game. Sun Hao played more resolutely. He even burst Ray Allen with sudden shots.
Although Garnett has his own defense system, his defensive focus is on O'Neal.
As for Rondo, he is still a rookie. It's okay to steal Sun Hao like the first half. It's really hard for him to help defend Sun Hao from death.
This period is also the climax of fans' discussions on social media.
The fans are feeling the strength of Sun Hao's first man, and some people yy, if Artest were in the Celtics, he would be able to restrain Sun Hao.
This is indeed the case. Two players with a defensive system will be greatly constrained even if the man comes to play.
Of course, that can only be yy.
The Celtics now don’t even have a Posey.
At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers led the Celtics by 12 points 70 to 58.
In this kind of high-intensity competition, this is already a point difference enough to win.
But in this situation, like the previous Celtics Wizards War, Boston has demonstrated their unparalleled resilience.
With the suffocating defense and the performance of the Big Three on the offensive end, they froze the score before the end!
When the last attack was suspended, the score on the field was 99 to 98, with the Celtics leading.
Phil Jackson is arranging tactics, and O'Neill...is dumbfounded!
He has never seen him so resistant.
This is harder to beat than the tortoise shell of the Pistons! !
But to make the "big sharks" feel like this, the Celtics' defense has indeed reached a certain level.
Pause back, the final attack of the audience.
The Lakers used a starburst tactic, and Sun Hao managed to catch the ball by covering.
At this time the Lakers are one point behind, and two points are the best choice.
However, Phil Jackson arranged a surprise and asked Sun Hao to shoot a three-pointer.
Sun Hao got rid of the ball with a dribble, but just when he was about to take the ball in the final dribble, he felt that the rebound height of the ball was obviously lower than expected.
He had Millsap stared at the floor before the game.
Millsap did indeed do it, and took note of where Hill was recruited.
It's just that Sun Hao didn't expect that the Celtics had arranged two yuan, and one half of the game!
This was completely out of routine, and Sun Hao was too careless to flash.
Don't underestimate this effect, see Hill who has been mixed for many years can directly make dribble errors.
Sun Hao is good enough to throw the ball without preparation.
It's just that it's too difficult to hit the lore in this situation.
The basketball finally bounced out of the box, and the Lakers lost a point.
"There is a problem! There is a problem!"
Millsap yelled at the referee excitedly.
It's just a pity that his behavior was not ignored by the referee.
Otherwise, how do you think this move is so unsuccessful for the Celtics, and it is passed down to this day.
The Celtics fans at the scene were celebrating, and the Lakers players had already turned and left.
In the press conference after the game, Sun Hao, who scored 29 points, attended the press conference with O'Neal, who scored 20 rebounds.
"Will this game hurt the morale of the team?"
A reporter asked Sun Hao a question.
"Are you serious?"
Sun Hao smiled and looked at the reporter.
An end-of-season game wins or loses, which hurts team morale?
You said it would make the Celtics a little more confident in their own strength.
But on the Lakers side, it doesn't actually feel much.
Quite simply, just like the previous Wizards Lakers game, the Wizards will not be demoralized by losing the game.
Because the score is very close, there are only one or two goals.
It is not the strength of the two teams, but luck.
If you really want to talk about strengths and weaknesses, you have to play a series before you know.
What's more, the Lakers have tactical reservations in this game.
Phil Jackson didn't want to expose his hole cards too early in the regular season.
Of course, Sun Hao didn't talk about the floor.
The Celtics have made a floor in their frontcourt~EbookFREE.me~ They have also worked hard to avoid launching an offense there.
"Charles lost $100,000 because of this game."
A reporter reminded Sun Hao.
"Tell Charles that I will pay for him."
Sun Hao is very refreshing.
It's not because Barkley is his former teammate, but... can't let his first blow chill!
"But I hope he won't bet against Larry next time. Who can win under Larry?"
Of course Sun Hao did not forget his humor.
Well, the outcome of this game has little influence, but after this battle, the nickname of "King King" has become even louder!
ps: Ask for a double monthly pass!
ps2: Do you think the Wizards and Celtics are more likely to break through from the east?
