On the night of the 19th, the TD North Shore Garden Arena was full.

It's the home of the Bruins and Celtics. The Boston Bruins were the first members of the National Hockey League and have the privilege of "founding six." The Celtics are founding members of the National Basketball Association. With 16 championships from 1957 to 1986 and 17 NBA championships in 2008, the Celtics have always been a symbol of the city.

Since the stadium opened on September 30, 1995, more than 24 million people have watched the Boston Bears and Celtics play in the arena. At the same time, the venue is also a well-known concert venue in the world.

This game is broadcast live in the United States, which shows the rise of the Warriors' status.

The live TV plan has already been announced, with three teams streaming the most and tied for the first place, with the league's most 25 games scheduled for a national broadcast, with the Warriors and Lakers in the West and the Cavaliers in the East.

They were followed by the Suns with 24 live streams, the Celtics with 19 All-American broadcasts and the underdogs Knicks with 16, tied with the Magic.

Before the start of the game, the CCTV5 commentator chatted about the situation of Celtic and expressed regret that they were out of the game last season.

"If Garnett hadn't fallen, the Celtics might have raised their 18th championship banner last season, and it was Garnett's injury that made the Warriors a bloodless defeat of the Magic in the Finals," Su said. History has no ifs, so the Celtics had to come to terms with an imperfect ending last season after a bumper end. In fact, the Celtics' inability to defend their title was doomed at the moment Garnett's fall, and losing Garnett is not losing 15. 8 points 8. As simple as 5 rebounds, what the Celtics lost was a dominant-level defense. ”

Yang Jian agreed. "That's right, the Celtics' 2007-2008 championship was not won by the sharp offense of the Big Three, but by a dominant defense. That season, the Celtics were the best team in the league in limiting opponents' three-point shooting percentage versus their opponents' overall shooting percentage, and then they used offense to stifle opponents. It's not easy for them to make it to the finals this year, they have to go through the Magic and the Cavaliers. In particular, the Cavaliers have been very successful in strengthening their roster, and I am optimistic that they will reach the Finals. ”

Su Qun smiled: "I'm actually still optimistic about the Celtics, they believe in team defense, and the defensive chain formed by the whole team can be called watertight." This is also the key reason why Posey's departure from the Hornets and the retirement of PJ Brown did not deal a fatal blow to the team, because they are just ordinary links in the defensive chain, and taking them away will not hurt the team. Garnett is different, he is one of the team's offensive cores and the most important link in the team's defensive chain. Garnett's absence due to injury immediately crippled the team's defense. They didn't have nothing last season, with the Celtics showing enough resilience after Garnett's injury and the youngsters playing with their confidence, which is a big reason why the Celtics can be a strong contender for the championship. ”

At that time, Garnett was sidelined due to injury, and there was mourning everywhere, and the Celtics were immediately underestimated by three points. But the Bostonian fought back with real action. The first round of the playoffs was inseparable from the Bulls, and the scene was absolutely singable; In the Eastern Conference semifinals, they fought the Magic to the death, even though they fell short in the last moment, but they were extremely resilient.

Rondo had three triple-doubles in 14 playoff games, and the interior combination of Perkins and Davis was not to be underestimated, and they even made Howard lose face, with Big Baby hitting a stunner in one game. These recruits have matured after a long journey, and they can provide consistent and powerful help to the Big Three, and they can make a big difference on the team's road to the championship.

The Celtics' signings are all right for the job, and this time is no exception, and they brought in Rashid for Garnett? Wallace as a helper. Wallace's arrival was more than just 12 points and 7. 4 rebounds is as simple as that, not only is it a sharp offense and a strong defense, but more importantly, he deepens the team's depth and makes the Celtics' tactics richer. Rashid can defend like Garnett, and they can play at the same time and form two rotational lineups with Perkins, which will ensure that the two veterans have plenty of rest and injuries will not be affected by injuries. In addition, Rashid also has a good three-point shot, which makes the team's tactics richer, especially Rondo, who likes to break through. At the same time, the team kept Davis and signed a libero Shelton? Williams, which allows the Celtics to be among the best in the league in frontcourt depth.

Meanwhile, Celtic also signed veteran Marquis? Daniels. The veteran, who is good both offensively and defensively, can play as Pierce or Ray depending on the situation on the pitch? Allen's bench, the two All-Stars can get plenty of rest, so they will undoubtedly be even more terrifying.

It can be said that the current Celtic lineup has no major shortcomings on paper, except for the aging of the team. Ageing has been an issue for them since the Big Three came together, only today they are older and more susceptible to injuries, so they have to find ways to stay away from injuries or the end of last season awaits them.

After the players played, Rondo took the initiative to provoke Zhou Xuan and said: "Today I will let you know who is the strongest defender." ”

"With your unstoppable three-pointer? Well, I'll let you vote. Zhou Xuan smiled slightly.

"Why are you arrogant in front of me when you can't even dunk?" Rondo continues to provoke.

"Be careful when you dunk, I wish you a quick fall." Zhou Xuan spoke even more politely, choking Longduo lightly.

Zhou Xuan hates this trash guy very much, there is no need to be so elegant to deal with this kind of person. He first started talking trash talk, and he was stimulated by Rondo after the two battles against the Celtics, and most of the time, Zhou Xuan preferred to play quietly.

The Celtics account for three of the top 10 players who like to talk trash-talk this season, and Rondo has a lot of potential, with the trend of the blue outperforming the blue. Last season, he trash talked against the Lakers and pushed Kobe Bryant away from the conflict, which gave him extra points. Zhou Xuanzhi is the only one on the Warriors' list, ranking 10th.

The Warriors changed their starting lineup, and in order to defend Garnett, they had to play taller people, like Bosh and Aldridge to defend Garnett. Smart sent Anthony? Randolph.

Small forward on Margeti, scoring guard or Azubuike, Zhou Xuan, Zack? Randolph started with thunder. Jackson came off the bench again. Ellis has been on the bench every game in the new season, but he is used to it.

The Celtics are on the strongest lineup, Rondo, Ray Allen, Pearson, Garnett, Perkins.

Jumper Garnett beat Randolph Jr., and the Celtics took the lead.

As soon as the Warriors came up, they used compression defense, Zhou Xuan put Rondo two steps away, and put on a "please shoot" action, but Rondo didn't dare to shoot outside the three-point line.

ESPN commentator Van Gundy said with a smile: "Zhou Xuan provoked Rondo at the beginning, at such a distance, most guards in the league will choose to shoot, but Rondo can't." ”

"Magic" Johnson shook his head and said: "If he can't shoot well, he can't become a superstar, he passes the ball." ”

Garnett gave Pierce an off-ball screen and helped him run back to the outside to receive the ball, and Rondo sent the ball over. The Warriors used a zone defense, and Zhou Xuan arced against Pierce.

Su Qun said loudly: "Zhou Xuan has kept up with the number one star on the outside of the Celtics again, and he has defended James on the court, can he stop Pierce this time?" ”

Yang Jian said: "Pierce is a well-known person in the league who is good at back, and his scoring ability is also underrated, averaging 25+ per game for many seasons, and he has reduced his shots after the Big Three teamed up, and he is also very efficient. ”

Zhou Xuan is very aware of Pierce's characteristics, his speed is slow, he completely relies on his skills and rhythm to excel, and the most powerful thing is to turn around and pass people, relying on his body to eat hard opponents. Before the start of the game, he went through all of Pierce's usual moves in his head.

As soon as Zhou Xuan stepped forward, Pierce immediately turned his back and entered the three-point line with his back against him. Although his weight is not as good as James, he is better at using his body and moving forward a little bit, and Zhou Xuan knows that he is looking for a shooting point that he is good at. But he has a weakness, and that is that he is too slow.

Zhou Xuan kept his distance, Ji Lu was to keep interfering in front of Pierce no matter what, now he is a 33-year-old veteran, his jump shot height is average, and his shooting percentage is not high enough to go against the sky, as long as he is not allowed to get close to the basket, he can be limited.

Pierce took the ball with his back and his left shoulder swayed, looking like he was going to turn to his right, then he was holding the ball with his right hand and turning to the left, attacking the right. If he eats a feint, he will pass it, and he can pull the ball for a layup. But Zhou Xuan didn't look at his shoulders at all, just stared at Pierce's buttocks.

As soon as the opponent's hip bone moved, Zhou Xuan immediately moved sideways to keep up, blocking the breakthrough route. Like many people, Pierce was also very uncomfortable, he didn't expect Zhou Xuan to take the initiative to defend himself, and he really followed. After turning around the frame, he wanted to take the ball and change direction to break through the bottom line, but was stuck by Zhou Xuan with his legs. He had to turn his back again and pass the ball out.

Ray Allen received the ball through Perkins and dribbled into the pile, only to pass it out. Rondo took the ball in the middle, still in a state of being let go. Margeti and Azubuike completed the rotation transition, and Zhou Xuan stood at the free throw line, not defending Rondo at all.

Being completely ignored by his opponents, Rondo has long been used to it, almost every opponent is so defensive against him, and he doesn't know how his confidence comes from, and he will see himself as a superstar. He was ruthless, and shot a jump shot in one step inside the three-point line, but Zhou Xuan just stretched out his hand, but he didn't jump, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Randolph got the rebound and passed straight forward.
