Chapter 277 What happened to the Celts!
The reporters scattered, not getting what they wanted, not finding any evidence of Celtic infighting, or even the opposite.
After today's interview, they found that there seems to be harmony and unity within the Celtics team, has everyone surrendered to Lin Long?
At the Miami Heat's last pregame meeting, Pat Riley told everyone, "Don't be afraid of them! Don't be afraid at all, the Celtics are paper tigers now! No one else to be afraid of except Lin Long! Although they have won 7 games in a row, this is based on the premise that Lin Long averages 46 minutes per game! His physical strength must be on the verge of collapse!
"In addition, in these 7 games, they did not meet a decent opponent, the convenience of the schedule gave them a chance to win, but tonight, their winning streak is destined to end!
When Riley said this, he paused and was about to boost his morale when the assistant coach stepped forward and said, "Latest news, both Rasheed and Sprewell are back today! And they will start the game!"
"Huh? 35 Riley's brows frowned, and he still believed: "It seems that Auerbach forced the two back, this old guy really has some skills! But no problem, they still look good and won't play. What a wonderful cooperation! Teams fighting each other for data and worth have no cohesion and combat effectiveness at all!
"Coach." The assistant coach walked up again and said:
"In the latest news from the press conference, both Rashid and Sprewell made it clear in interviews that they and Lin Long had no problems, and they said they would give their best to the next game!
"Give it up!" Riley said decisively: "Definitely do it up! Go kids and prove they're a bad team without unity!"
With the return of Sprewell and Rashid, the Celtics' starting lineup has once again changed back to the preseason quintet of Big Ben, Rashid, Lin Long, Sprewell and Billups .
In terms of defense in this lineup, all five players are defensive lineup-level defenders of the year.
In terms of offense, except for Big Ben who is a hindrance, the others are all powerful attacking points capable of contributing 20 points per game, not to mention Lin Long, the league's leading scorer with an average of 35 points per game this season.
In terms of passing, except for Big Ben, the other four are excellent passers in their respective positions.
On both ends of the offense and defense, they have the strength of the dominant level.
Also on the bench is Barkley, a former superstar who made the 3rd team of the year last year.
Coupled with the combination of Bowen and the league's first-class marksman Curry, whose top 3D attributes are gradually revealed, the Celtics' strength is indeed terrifying!
At the beginning of the game, the Celtics continued to use small forward Lin Long to jump the ball, and once again defeated the old opponent Mourning.
Billups got the basketball and threw it directly to Sprewell, who had reached the frontcourt. Sprewell had the title of the fastest first step in the league. He accelerated under his feet and easily passed veteran Dan Marley in one step. , directly into the basket!
Mourning returned to the defense urgently and opened his hands to limit Sprewell's attack to the basket, but Sprewell didn't even look at the basket, he directly hit the ground and passed the ball to Rashi on the other side of the basket. Germany.
PJ Brown also returned to the defensive position at this time, wrapping his arms tightly around Rasheed.
But the next moment... basketball disappeared again!
The fans at the scene gave out a burst of fierce cheers!
Brown couldn't see it, but they could see clearly that Rasheed's incomparably light behind-the-scenes pass happened to be in the hands of Lin Long, who slanted into the inside.
Lin Long combined the ball with both hands and pulled it up to face Mourning and Brown. It was a brutal attack to the basket!
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, the Celtics came out on top. At the same time, the cooperation of the three also broke all rumors about their disagreement.
Selfless, dashing, and lighthearted!
Lin Long and the two excitedly hit their chests to celebrate, and then quickly threw themselves into the defense.
Billups stalked Hardaway the Beetle, not giving him a chance to speed up, dragging the round into a positional battle.
After so long of training, Big Ben has long lost to the monster Mo Ning in terms of strength. The two are constantly fighting under the basket, and Mo Ning has difficulty finding opportunities for the time being.
Rashid, on the other hand, took advantage of his own mobility and ran around to help prevent leaks.
At the same time, half of his attention was placed on Mourning. As long as Hardaway dared to pass the ball, he would immediately rush to double-team.
Mashburn, who has made significant progress this season and has the potential to impact the title of the most improved player, once again realized what talent crushing is, and he once again sighed that he is really unworthy of the nickname monster!
Lin Long, regardless of strength, speed, flexibility or height and wingspan, all crushed Mashburn, a small forward known for his physical fitness, which made Mashburn feel deeply powerless.
Sprewell took on the 33-year-old Dan Marley and completely overwhelmed the former All-Star with physical and violent defenses.
Hardaway looked around and found that the entire stadium, he actually had a clear advantage over Billups, so he took two steps back to widen the distance, and suddenly took out the sign of death after continuous crotch. Change direction, pass Billups and go straight to the inside!
Seeing that the impact was smooth all the way, Hardaway was able to score directly to the basket.
Suddenly, three huge shadows covering the sky rushed over from three places and surrounded Hardaway in the basket.
Lin Long! Big Ben! Rashid!
The momentum of Hardaway's shot could not be stopped at all, and it was too late to change the attacking method. He could only toss the ball in desperation and threw it into the air, hoping that Mo Ning could pick up this basketball.
It's a pity that the reality is much crueler than Hardaway imagined. Six big hands covered all of Hardaway's airspace. Just after the ball left his hand, it was directly intercepted by one of Lin Long's hands and took it into his hand. .
"Quick attack!
Lin Long shouted and started advancing on the spot.
Billups and Sprewell slammed the door on the left and the right, one wandered along the 3-point line to look for opportunities, and the other went directly inside to find the possibility of dunking to the basket.
Lin Long crushed Mashburn all the way, and his advancing speed did not slow down in the slightest. He ran all the way but suddenly stopped outside the 3-point line. Lin Long retreated and pulled back. The rushing Mashburn could not hold back the momentum. To avoid it, I ran 4 or 5 steps forward before barely stopping.
The ball in Lin Long's hand has disappeared.
The fans at the scene once again heard a frantic cheer, giving Sprewell a dunk with both arms, and giving Lin Long a superb alley pass!
Will Marcus, who has become the 363rd member of the Celtics' live commentary, shouted excitedly: "Perfect! The perfect round! From defense to offense, from advancing to passing! I can't find other words except perfect. Describe the current Celtic team!"
"There is no need to run-in between geniuses! Rashid, Sprewells are the best geniuses! They can definitely rule this league! 99
"The Celtics, with all their members, are simply Super Saiyans!
On the sidelines, Bird, as the head coach, needs to protect his calm demeanor.
So he didn't stand up to celebrate like the substitute, but he also secretly clenched his fist!
Show-time?!
What rubbish is that!
Magician is better than me?
What kind of idiot who doesn't understand balls said that!
I have a perfect team now!
Besides laughing, can Magic have my status in the Lakers?
The strong start of the Celtics made the Heat unstoppable.
They have tough defense and even more terrifying firepower. Neither Hardaway nor Mourning can compete with the Celtics on an equal footing.
Just over halfway through the first quarter of the game, the Celtics led by as many as 12 points 19:7, and the Heat had no power to fight back.
"Isn't it that they are fighting each other and have no cohesion?"
The breathless Hardaway couldn't help but complained on the court.
Before he finished speaking, Sprewell suddenly released Marley and stepped forward to double-team Hardaway.
The two stuck close to Hardaway, one on the left and the other on the right, and Billups took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, found the soft flesh on Hardaway's waist and pinched it hard!
