On March 3, U.S. time, the Lakers played the Celtics at home.

The Celtics' current record is still okay, 40-22, which is good in the East, and they also reached the Eastern Conference Finals this season. The knight who met the Big 3 was destroyed. Therefore, it is considered a strong force in the east. At least it's much better than those Hawks, Bulls, Pacers, Bucks, Raptors, these teams, either pseudo-strong teams, or have been in decline, have entered a period of rebuilding. It's just that they're in the East that they can make the playoffs.

Brad. Stevens, is the head coach of this team, the tactical attainment and tactical level are very high, this season Thomas Jr. has been completely activated, and he should take a relatively large credit. Coupled with the fact that the Green Army's iron-blooded defense as usual has been gradually revived by him, everyone is actually very optimistic about the future of this Eastern giant.

Yes, they are much better than the Lakers, and the Lakers are a half-dead underdog even in the 18-19 season. Their lineup is Thomas Jr. + Al. Horford + Avery . Bradley + Jay. Claude + Amir. Johnson. It doesn't seem that the star qi is very high, but the overall combat power is very good, and the toughness is full. The Lakers were unwell before the game because Butler was a little unwell. Viti suggested that he should not play for this game for the time being.

The Lakers are a championship-contending team this season, and they don't need to work as hard as they did in the regular season, and Butler is an indispensable outside core of the team, so it may be more important for him to rest completely than a regular season. Larry. Brown and the Lakers' uniform team thought the same thing, so even if Butler offered to ask for it, saying that he could stick to the court, he was still rejected.

In the end, the regular season is not so important compared to the playoffs.

So without Butler, the Lakers' outside firepower is even more worrisome, which makes the Green Army receive the news that the "young marshal" Brad. Stevens made a target, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to win this game. Oh, by the way, just say that the Green Army was the Eastern Conference finalist of the original plane this season, and don't forget, they are also the Eastern seeded team of the original plane this season.

Eastern, first.

They won 2 more games than the Cavaliers.

Look at how the "young marshal" Stevens is arranged. It's pretty good, and it's full of skills at first glance.

In order to avoid playing a half-court offensive and defensive victory with the Lakers, he made these arrangements, not because the Green Army did not defend well in the restricted area, but because the Lakers had a "war monster" under the inside basket. So he had to do that. With the old spicy interior player Al. Horford stared at No. 29's basket impact, and the rest, don't worry too much. When the time comes, make changes on the spot. Because at the point of the 29th, it's impossible for you to defend all his means and all aspects, so he just needs Al. Horford defends No. 29's basket impact. Because Horford's defense is very good, his skills are old and spicy, Embiid the Great is frequently deflated when he is in position with him, and he has played 13 times in another time and space, and the shooting rate has been less than 4 percent, only 37%, so Horford's defensive skills are still very good.

Especially for the use of defensive experience, he is quite experienced, he is the core of the Green Army's defense.

The second arrangement is to go around the front and make No. 29 uncomfortable with the ball at the beginning. There is no need to upgrade step by step, tonight the Lakers did not have Butler to attract on the outside, and "Young Marshal" Stevens directly made this defensive order. From the beginning of the passing and receiving of the ball, the number 29 must be limited.

The third arrangement is to control the Lakers' passing, control their passing lanes, make as many turnovers as possible, play defensive counterattacks and chase shots. Why he is arranged like this is also very simple, it is not a decision made by him as soon as his brain is hot, so he will not have such a high reputation in the NCAA basketball world. The reason is that the Lakers have less Butler on the outside, and there will be a huge decline in independent offensive ability, and there is not enough independent offensive points, what must the Lakers do?

Yes, just to increase passing. Use the pass to break the game and find the Green Army's defensive opening.

And the more independent attack points, the less you need to pass the ball more, or even similar to the triangle attack Finally, don't pass the ball at all.

So it was all taken by Brad. Stevens thought about it, and he was really the leader of the younger generation.

The ability to lay out and target is very good.

If you look closely, you will find that basically these arrangements are also for the 29th, so there is a final point. That's Brad. Stevens emphasized in the locker room: This game must suppress the Lakers' No. 29, they lack an outside independent scoring point, and we can expand the defense in time. As long as the 29th is locked, the odds of winning tonight will be great. Because the rest of the Lakers won't come out tonight to help break the game. At least under normal circumstances.

And...... Brad. Stevens also made a point that No. 29 is now battling with ESPN and Sports Illustrated, so he expects No. 29 to score the same as before. Otherwise, how can you hit ESPN and Sports Illustrated's little face, right? So just rest assured that it's okay to lock it up.

Hearing their own head coach so stripped of the cocoon and analyzed layer by layer, these people in the Green Army were secretly admired, in fact, to be honest, how many people were particularly optimistic about them before the game? Basically, no. But this handsome young coach has changed all that, and now they are tied with the Cavaliers and are competing for the first place in the East. At the beginning of the game, even this group of Green Army players didn't dare to think about it.

Last year, they only had the fifth or sixth level, and there was no particularly big change in the lineup, which is indelible for the coach factor. So now the Green Army is particularly admired by the "young marshal". When such emotions appear, the manager's arrangement will be implemented efficiently without hesitation, so as to maximize the manager's control over the team.

Hey, you're really right, this year's Green Army is actually a lot like an NCAA team in a way, and the head coach has even more influence on the team than the players. This is very common in the NCAA, but in the NBA, it is a special case.

So after the Lakers scramble for the ball, they felt something was wrong at the first time, and Rondo saw No. 29 beckoning for the ball in the low post, so he handed it in by inertia, and then ...... Stealed!!

The Green Army seems to have guessed the Lakers' offense this time. Bradley is directly around the front steal success!

The whole team of the Green Army played fast, Thomas Jr. used to be a forced layup by one person, in fact, the opportunity was not particularly good, the Lakers' defense was already in place, but it was still sent to the basket by the "strongest 175 on the surface" who was in good condition during this time. And, it's still a 2+1! Thomas Jr. shook his fist hard after landing on the ground, he really exploded this season, and his scoring ability of 29 points and above ...... You're already a quasi-super scorer, okay?

Last season, he averaged only 22 points per game.

Seeing that several passes to the interior were blocked, the Lakers changed their style of play and began to go outside, but without Butler, Roport. Covington is a very good 3-and-D team, but his ability to attack on his own is ...... Not really. This allows him to replace Butler defensively, but on the offensive end, it is still far behind. If Butler had played this ball by himself, the opponent's defense of No. 29 was so tight, and the offensive pressure on his side was relatively small. But...... Covington couldn't do that once he got the ball.

So after hesitating, he chose to pass the ball, was interfered with by the Green Army, and went directly out of the sideline.

At the beginning, the Green Army relied on a variety of accurate pre-game predictions and pre-game arrangements to slightly suppress the Los Angeles Lakers in terms of momentum. This scene, few people really thought of it before. In the end, in everyone's senses, the Green Army's record is okay, but there is still a gap with those giant teams.

So the Lakers' side quickly went into the first timeout.
