Chapter 474: A Feast of Saliva
As the other side of the war of words, the Celtics are not having a good time these days. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rivers' big mouth adds even more criticism and cynicism to an already controversial team.
The so-called Big Three got together to win the championship at the end of their careers, but in fact, there is not much market for Quanmi.
If Green Kai wins, then everything is fine, but they were eventually defeated by the young Eagles 4:1 in the East Finals, and became complete losers.
The winner can reject all blame, but the loser can only accept all kinds of ridicule.
"The Celtics formed the Big Three? This was the biggest joke of last year!"
"When three stinky and shameless guys get together, they think they're the champions, hehehehe!"
"Thank you to the Eagles, they have set the right example for the league!"
"The Big Three is a joke, the bigger joke is Rivers, and the biggest obstacle for the Celtics to win the championship is their head coach!"
……
And so on and so forth.
Why did Ruan Erniu say that if he couldn't win against Green Kai, the Eagles would also be criticized?
Because he recently browsed the Internet, he found that the people of the United States are really not bad at all in beating the water dogs, and the Celtics are about to be hacked!
It can be said that the game has not yet begun, and the Hawks have fully felt the flames of revenge from the Boston fans.
Although the Green Army failed to win the championship, the Celtics' strong team momentum finally returned.
Inside the North Shore Gardens, there are "BEAT-ATL" slogans and shouts everywhere.
There are even racists who directly squirt at Erniu: "Yellow-skinned monkey, go back to your own country!"
Ruan Erniu opened his arms, held his head high, closed his eyes, and felt everything on the scene.
Last year, it was also here that Erniu led the Hawks to defeat the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals and officially advanced to the Finals.
It's still these fanatical Celtics, unfortunately, they don't know what their opponents really are.
Embarrassed Sen patted Erniu on the shoulder and asked, "You enjoyed all this?"
Ruan Erniu turned his head and said with a smile: "It has always been!"
Each side occupies half of the game and begins the final warm-up before the game.
Before the start of the game, the starting list was also announced as soon as possible:
For the Celtic side:
C Kendrick Perkins
PF Kevin Garnett
S.F. Paul Pearce
SG Ray Allen
P.G. Rajan Rondo
For the Eagles:
C Zaza Pachuria
PF Nguyen Er Niu
S.F. John Salmons
SG Joe Johnson
PG Mike Bibby
Nguyen Er Niu and Garnett, two power forwards, walked to the center circle at the same time, and they will carry out the opening free throw of the day.
Erniu can clearly see the flame of revenge in Garnett's eyes, which is destined to be a bitter battle.
The Eagles will need to overcome more than back-to-back fatigue, and if they want to defend their title, they will have to overcome their old rivals in a narrow match.
When the strong meet, the one who occupies the top is often the one with more courage.
Last season, in addition to physical talent, the Hawks can be said to lag behind the Celtics in all aspects of technology and experience.
But the young eagles had more courage and dared to change the formation directly, adopting the crazy strategy of Ruan Erniu, a rookie, so they really killed the Celtics.
This season, whether the Hawks, who have become champions, can still let go of their hands and feet, not be burdened by fame, and play with a fighting mentality is still the key to their ability to defeat their opponents.
Ruan Erniu and Garnett both bent their knees at the same time, and in the next second, the basketball was thrown high into the sky.
Erniu's nerve reflexes and bounce speed were faster, and he took the first step to dial the ball back to his own camp.
Bibi holds the ball in the half and advances to the frontcourt.
Salmons took advantage of Zaza Pachuria's cover and shot directly outside the three-point line, short, missed!
Perkins grabbed the rebound and passed to Rondo, who controlled the ball through the half.
Garnett stepped up to cover, and Ray Allen first cut to the baseline, then ran back and ran out of space with the help of KG's block.
Rondo delivered the ball in time, and Ray Allen immediately shot the ball from outside the three-point line and hit it!
Nguyen Er Niu held the ball low in the front court, and Perkins held it up behind him.
Erniu exerted his strength violently, and after forcing Perkins back a step, he immediately turned around and hooked his hand.
"Bang!"
The force was too strong, the basketball smashed on the basket, and Garnett leaned on Pachulia and took the rebound in the backcourt.
After receiving the ball, Rondo held the ball again across the halfcourt, and Ray Allen repeated his old trick, almost in the same way of running, and almost in the same position, Allen shot three points again, and also hit!
0:6,TIME-OUT!
Hawks head coach Mike Woodson stood up and asked for a 20-second timeout.
"Defend, defend, defend, don't make me repeat that damn word, don't give the opponent an easy shot! As soon as there is a high block, rotate the defense, Kraft, tell me why don't you pounce?"
Woodson didn't give FMVP the slightest face, and defensively, Mr. Egghead, known as the Wood Man, was more serious, focused, and strict than anyone else.
Ruan Erniu nodded and said, "I understand, sir!"
"Prove it to me, don't talk big! Listen, I know each of you are tired, but it's not a game to throw in easily. Last season, we won the championship on the bones of each other. This season, we will only have to win again if we continue to win against our opponents, and don't let me see you carelessly on the defensive end!"
No one wants to try a masochistic course with double the amount of training, and Woodson's expression tells every Hawks player that he's angry right now!
When the timeout came, Woodson didn't say anything specific about defensive tactics, and in his opinion, all the Hawks need now is to improve their focus and intensity on the defensive end.
On the offensive end of the Hawks, Embarrassment received a ball from Erniu, and outside the three-point line, he faced the defense of Ray Allen, forced a shot, and hit!
After experiencing a slump after the start of the season, the form of the embarrassed forest is slowly recovering.
Garnett held the ball with his back to the high post, and Erniu defended behind him.
"Celestial Empire, you are a despicable thief, your luck has come to an end!"
Gartney shook his back, picked up a flip jumper, hit!
Erniu has tried his best to influence the opponent's next handicap, but Garnett still forcefully sends the ball into the basket.
On the offensive end of the Hawks, Ruan Erniu once again held the ball in the low post, and Perkins defended him.
Ruan Erniu suddenly turned his back and passed Perkins along the bottom line.
Perkins' speed was too slow, and he couldn't keep up with Ruan Erniu's starting speed at all.
As soon as Ruan Erniu flew into the air, Garnett's killed him from the diagonal side, and blocked the opportunity for the Celestial Empire to directly attack the basket for the first time.
Erniu did not panic at all in the air, and while holding the ball in one hand, he immediately withdrew the ball into his arms, and after moving sideways in the air to avoid Garnett's block, he threw the ball out with his backhand.
The basketball slammed into the top half of the rebound and bounced diagonally into the basket.
Ruan Erniu's entire movement was done in one go, fully demonstrating his superb ability to stay in the air and his sense of balance.
It is incredible that a 110KG center can make such anti-gravity level basketball skills.
Ruan Erniu pointed to the basket and said to Garnett with a smile: "KG, it seems that my luck has not yet come to an end!"
On the defensive end of the Hawks, Ruan Erniu once again resisted Garnett, and then he provoked: "I'm sure that unless you buy yourself out this year and hold my thighs with a base salary, you still won't be able to win the championship!"
