Chapter 307 Against the Green Army
Rose's change-of-direction breakthrough was directly blocked by Yao Ming, and Channing accelerated the impact with the ball.
The Bulls players are all young. Rose, Gordon, Ruhr Deng and Noah retreated quickly, but the Philadelphia team had three players rushing down at the same time, forming the most classic three-line fast break.
One-stop assault basket, Channing attracted the attention of all the Bulls players, then the ball to the right corner, Channing knew Battier would be there to ambush.
Sure enough, Battier appeared on time, the ball arrived, and a three-pointer was hit.
The start was 7:0, and the young Bulls coach Vinnie De Nagro didn't think of calling a timeout adjustment, allowing Rose and Gordon to bury their heads in the defensive trap of Philadelphia, and then hit the iron one by one, or made a ball error was intercepted.
Halfway through the first quarter, the score was already 18:7, and the young Bulls were firmly suppressed by Philadelphia.
Vinnie De Nagro replaced Gordon and sent Salmons, but still no improvement.
Although Gordon is sometimes a little brainless in his offensive choices, he is really fierce, while Salmons is a jack-of-all-trades [-]nd and [-]rd position, and Rose is too young, and Pooh De Nagro sometimes Giving too much power to a player like Salmons.
For example, tonight, Salmons took over the offensive ball as soon as he came on the court. He singled out Channing several times in a row, but the effect was not good, and it also confused the mentality of other players on the team. Derrick Rose The few times he received the ball, he also attacked in a hurry, with a very low success rate.
"This is the gap between young teams. The tuition fees that should be paid must be paid."
Pooh - De Nagro sighed, he did not know how to adjust.
It seems that the strength of the Bulls is very average, and Channing breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why the Bulls youth team was able to fight the Celtics in 7 games before the rebirth was mainly due to Garnett's injury, which could not suppress the Bulls' youthful spirit. Almost got overturned.
But Philadelphia was different. Yao Ming was on the inside, and there were Channing, Battier, Pietrus and other strong defensive players on the outside.
When Yao Ming rested, Rose's performance rebounded, but under the double-teaming of Channing and Pietrus at any time, Rose still couldn't find his form. The first quarter became the epitome of the whole night's game.
In the end, the Philadelphia team easily won the Bulls and won the first victory of the series.
Dayao and Channing both scored 20+ points, and the game was won easily. The Bulls' outside three-shot guns Rose, Salmons and Gordon performed very averagely. Although they scored around 20 points, they hit Those with a low rate can't bear to look directly at them, they are all drawn by high hand.
After winning the first game, the Philadelphia team went smoothly and did not give the Bulls a chance. A few days later, Philadelphia swept the Bulls 4-0 and took the lead to advance to the second round of the playoffs.
Soon, the first round of the game was all over. In the East, the Cavaliers swept the Pistons, Philadelphia swept the Bulls, the Celtics defeated the Heat 4-1, the Magic won the Eagles 4-2, and the top four in the East collectively entered the second round.
在西部，湖人4-0屠杀火箭，马刺4-1击败太阳，开拓者和小牛都是4-2战胜了对手爵士和黄蜂。
Entering the second round of the playoffs, the Cavaliers played against the Magic, Philadelphia played against the Celtics, the Lakers played against the Mavericks, and the Spurs played against the Trail Blazers.
The Celtics, lacking Garnett, still defeated the Heat 4-1 to advance to this round despite the serious shortage of major generals in the interior, which made Cheeks and Channing feel the tenacity of last year's championship team. Therefore, before the start of the game, the Celtics Both Coach Kex and Channing repeatedly told the players in the locker room not to take it lightly.
"Guys, they were last year's championship team. Get rid of them and let everyone see our strength."
After Garnett was reimbursed, the offense of the Celtics completely relied on Pierce and Ray Allen on the outside, especially Ray Allen. Allen immediately made a three-pointer.
Channing must not be allowed to chase Ray Allen all over the court. Channing's 2m tall man is naturally inferior to Ray Allen in terms of off-ball running and various inside screens.
In response to this, Coach Cheeks made a defensive deployment.
Pietrus was entrusted with an important task. He got the chance to start for the first time after joining Philadelphia. Coach Cheeks wanted to use him to chase Ray Allen at all costs.
Although Pietrus is more suitable for one-on-one defense, but looking at the outside players in Philadelphia, Kyle Lowry is not tall enough, Battier moves slowly, Belinelli is not good at defense, and Livingston has serious mobility after a serious injury Falling, and only Pietrus can rely on it.
In the visiting team's locker room, head coach Doc Rivers yelled to boost morale:
"Our lineup is not as good as our opponents, and our regular season record is not as good as our opponents, but we were the championship team last year, and everyone who underestimates us will have to pay for it!"
The locker room of the Celtics was boiling. Pierce and Perkins were fearless masters. This year's particularly outstanding point guard Rajon Rondo was even more so. The entire locker room was full of "teach them!", "Sweep Philadelphia" slogan.
Only Ray Allen sat silently and didn't talk to him. He didn't like the atmosphere of the dressing room, and he listened to music quietly with headphones on by himself.
Ray Allen joined the Celtics purely for the championship. He never regarded Pierce, Garnett, Rondo and others who love to talk trash as friends, and he seemed a bit out of place in the locker room.
He wasn't withdrawn, he just couldn't talk.
Ray Allen is like a quiet and modest gentleman. He was born and raised in a military compound. He has a gentle appearance and an elegant style of play. He has never had any scandals in his life and has won a morality award.
Of course, he also has shortcomings. Ray Allen thinks highly of himself and is a little small-minded. He pays special attention to his status in the team and his right to shoot. Therefore, he sometimes has conflicts with rough people like the Green Army.
For example, after the recent rookie point guard Rondo came out, he already didn't take Ray Allen seriously. Rondo felt that he was already a super guard who could wrestle with Derrick Rose. Ray Allen is just a pure shooter who runs and shoots, and he is the real commander of the Green Army.
Facing the younger brother who started to step on him, Ray Allen did not directly make a big conflict, but silently kept it in his heart, ready to see the team's next move, if the Green Army management also supported Rondo behind his back, Ray Allen is likely to choose to leave.
To put it bluntly, the Big Three of the Celtics are just nicknames given by the fans themselves. For players, playing is just a job. Championships are precious, but staying in a team that doesn’t value themselves is also a must. A very unhappy thing.
