Chapter 560: Seattle's Nemesics
The Boston Celtics are the bitter masters of the hypersound.
And it's the kind of biggest sufferer.
The Celtics' lineup configuration is very restrained supersonic, this team has to have an inside line, an outside line, and an outside line, and the forward strength is also quite terrible.
Let's take the tactical basis of the Seattle supersonic system.
The two most important points of the dumping system, Milicic and Durant, and the Boston Celtics can find players who can handle it, and they may still be one of the most coping players.
The Boston Celtics center Patrick Perkins is one of Milicic's biggest headaches in the league.
Tony Allen is one of Durant's biggest headaches in the league.
Judging from the first meeting between the two teams after the Christmas game this season, the Celtics are literally beating the Seattle SuperSonics at the Key Arena.
In that game, Milicic was 3 of 11, was held by Perkins and covered by Garnett, which was miserable!
And Rondo, compared to Milicic, is even worse, taking eight shots in normal games, all of them are iron, and in the face of Pierce's defense, Rondo is not able to look like he is hammered.
And what about Durant?
Durant made 12 of his 36 shots in this game, which is certainly better than Milicicrondo, but it was still one of the toughest games he played this season.
In addition to the three helpers around Yes, such as others such as Sessions' 4 in 0, David Lee's 6 in 2, etc., it can be said that the entire Seattle SuperSonics except for Yes, when facing the Celtics, did not play normally.
The Celtics' roster is somewhat restrained, and the team's players are extremely experienced, which makes it difficult.
At the very least, Yes's advantage over Ray Allen can't change the overall disadvantage of the two teams.
It is precisely because of this that when those experts in the league are ranking the biggest nemesis of the supersonic, the Boston Celtics will still be ranked above the Rockets and in first place!
Although yes has not won a game in his career against the Rockets, in the opinion of these experts, he can still find an opportunity.
When the supersonic meet the Celtics, it really doesn't look like there's a chance at all.
Especially after the Celtics removed the team's cancer point guard Allan Lei from the team because of the 'Alan Lei' incident, after the Celtics' tactical play changed, the supersonic disadvantage in the face of the Celtics was even more obvious.
When Alain Ray was still there, the Celtics' starting lineup was Alain Ray, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, and Perkins.
This lineup was able to restrain the supersonics last season.
After the SuperSonics have Durant this season, if the Celtics are still on this lineup, the SuperSonics will have the power to fight.
Who knew that Alan Ray made himself into it and was cut directly by the Celts.
The Celtics were left without a point guard after cutting Allan Rei.
The Celtics, who had no point guard, finally made a decision that shocked the entire league, and Celtics head coach Doug Rivers simply relinquished the point guard position.
Ray Allen, Pierce, Tony Allen, Garnett, Perkins.
That's the starting lineup for the Celtics without a point guard.
The tactical basis of the Celtics directly became the blocking and pick-and-roll combination of Ray Allen, Pierce and Garnett.
Ray Allen and Pierce were in possession, and the two men and Garnett played directly to the pick-and-roll.
The power of the offense has declined, but the stability of the offense is extremely strong, because no one in the entire league can prevent the blocking and disintegration of Ray Allen, Pierce and Garnett.
At the same time, the Celtics' defense has been greatly strengthened by the entry of Tony Allen into the starting line-up.
The last meeting between the SuperSonics and the Celtics has so far made the team's head coach Nelson Sr. find it incredible.
Against the SuperSonics, the Boston Celtics played a perfect defensive game.
In the game, the Celtics' performance on the defensive end claimed to have no shortcomings.
In fact, the efficiency of the superSonics against the Celtics can also be seen, except for Durant, there is no one else who can score consistently next to Yese.
Even Durant, who has to face Tony Allen on the defensive end and Pierce on the offensive end, Durant is quite uncomfortable in the game.
It should be said that it was quite uncomfortable to be beaten.
Pierce is definitely one of the players Durant is most reluctant to meet on the offensive end, other than Anthony.
Such a Celtics can indeed be called a catastrophic team for the SuperSonics.
During this time, the media all over the world were exclaiming the strength of the West.
Among them, there is a report in the United States Today, that is, the top eight teams in the West, starting from the first Rocket, all the way to the eighth Thunder, seven of these eight teams have a chance to win the championship as long as they enter the finals!
Only the supersonic, which is the third in the West, is considered by USA Today to have zero chance of winning the championship even if Yes and the superSonics break out of the West.
This season, the Celtics have faced the top eight teams in the West, all of which have lost except for the SuperSonics.
Only in the face of supersound, the Celtics look incredibly powerful.
Of course, the whole world knows that this year's championship has nothing to do with supersound.
It's too far away to say that the superSonics will make it to the Finals against the Celtics.
The SuperSonics now have zero probability of winning more than just against the Celtics.
The probability of supersonic speeds now breaking out of the west is also zero.
So during this time, when the media around the world was touting the West and ridiculing the East, they once said that if the East wants to win the championship this season, it can only hope that Yes and the SuperSonics will represent the West in the Finals, but such hope itself is zero despair.
This game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Celtics looks like the SuperSonics have no chance of winning.
But the game still attracted the attention of the world.
Although the supersonic team was beaten badly by the Celtics in the last meeting with the Celtics.
But after all, times have changed.
At that time, Rondo and Durant both had NBAlive 2008 ratings of just over 60.
And now, both Rondo and Durant's 2K9 ratings are 87.
The whole world knows that playing next to Yes, the growth of these young players of the SuperSonics is quite huge.
The last time the two teams met, the supersonics' starting power forward was David Lee.
Now David Lee has given up his position as the starting power forward.
Therefore, many experts are still looking forward to this game.
Now in the entire American public opinion circles, the Black East has become a consensus.
At present, the entire American public opinion wants to create public opinion that as long as the team can break through the west, it will definitely be the champion.
However, because of the existence of hypersound, such a 'shame in the West', the US public opinion circles are somewhat unable to play like this.
The US public opinion circles really hope that the western region can now be slaughtered to death.
If the SuperSonics can beat the Celtics in this game, then the headline tomorrow is that the Celtics, who are the first in the East, will not even be able to enter the playoffs in the West!
For this game, these media across the United States came with a very big mindset to watch the excitement.
However, for Yes, this game against the Celtics, there are not so many ideas.
What west and east, for the current hypersound does not make any sense.
The Celtics may now represent the East.
But the SuperSonics have never represented the West, and Yace doesn't want the SuperSonics to be the kind of team that pays lip service to the West.
While Yees doesn't have so much of a mess, this game against the Celtics is really important for the SuperSonics.
The last loss to the Celtics caused a strong sense of self-doubt within the Seattle SuperSonics.
After that game, most of the SuperSonics recognized Durant as the team's second-oldest player.
It can be said that the last time we lost to Celtic, the impact on supersonic speed was huge.
For superSonics, the Celtics are a litmus test for them.
The superSonics are now desperate to know what their true quality is now.
Of course, Yes is also looking forward to seeing how his teammates are right now in front of the Celtics.
For the SuperSonics, this game is important, it is a landmark game.
And for Celtic, the same is true.
After the All-Star break, the Celtics weren't in great shape.
In the All-Star Game, the Celtics' All-Stars fought too hard, and Ray Allen, Pierce and Garnett were the main output of the Eastern side of the All-Star Game.
They weren't in great shape after the All-Star break.
While there are no teams in the East that can put pressure on them.
But the last three games and the top eight teams in the West have all lost, which has really put a lot of pressure on the Celtics.
Last year, the Big Three were formed, and they wanted to make a big move.
Last year was already a failure, and this year it is absolutely not allowed to fail again.
This season, the Celtics' Big Three have put down all their selfishness, in order to impact the championship.
Attacking the championship is not just talking, it needs to be accumulated one game at a time.
For the current Celtics, the regular season and Western Conference powerhouse record mean nothing to their regular season standings.
But it is important to build confidence in them.
Losing too much against the Western giants will indeed affect morale.
Seriously, they'd rather lose to a team like the Heat than the Nuggets, Suns, or Grizzlies.
Losing to the Heat, they know that they can win if they are serious.
But losing to teams like the Nuggets, Suns, and Grizzlies can give them the feeling that they can't win even if they're serious.
It's a terrible feeling.
After the All-Star break, they've had three of these bad feelings.
Now they urgently need to get rid of that feeling.
And this match against the supersonic is their best opponent to remove this feeling.
In the face of other strong teams in the west, their advantage is indeed not large, and they are even at a disadvantage.
But in the face of supersound, they can definitely hit with their feet!
The supersonic strength is not so strong, and it is still in third place in the league.
This team is really too much to make up!
If they don't play a supersonic game at home, they will all feel sorry for themselves.
A team that wants to rediscover itself.
A team that wants to prove itself again.
As a result, the Celtic and SuperSonics game was as exciting as the onlookers around the world imagined.
The game was extremely intense.
"In terms of morale and morale, neither side of this game intends to retreat in this game."
"Yes has lost three games to the Celtics and was double-killed last season, and this season Yes is doing its best to avoid being double-killed again."
"The Celtics have lost three consecutive Western Conference playoff powerhouses, and they can't afford to lose this game again, and they can't put on a hat of bullying and fearing the hard."
"This kind of game is the most exciting!"
For Reggie Miller, this match between Celtic and SuperSonics is truly the most exciting.
No matter how different the quality of the two teams is.
Not every player from either team is retained.
In a game like this, he could feel the enthusiasm of the time when he was still on the court.
Although the final score of the game, the Boston Celtics defeated the SuperSonics 100-90 at home, the score did not look so intense, but at the end of the game, he still stood up and applauded the players of both teams.
100 to 90!
Seeing this score on the courtside scoreboard, Dougreaves breathed a sigh of relief.
As the head coach of the Celtics, he is really under a lot of pressure right now, and the Celtics really can't fail again this season!
But the terrible state of affairs in the west now makes it difficult for people to have confidence.
When the Celtics formed the Big Three, he thought that the championship might be a surprise.
Maybe not as 82-0 as Celtics fans think, but there's absolutely no problem winning the title.
However, he really didn't expect the world to change so dramatically.
Fortunately, no matter how the world changes, the fact that supersonic is an ATM for the Celts has not changed much.
It was a tight game, but Celtic won easily.
The ordinary players of the supersonic speed have improved very rapidly under the cultivation of Yes.
However, this rate of progress is already their limit.
He is still very confident in his own vision, Milicic All-Stars are the limit, and Rondo and Durant Millsap are also quasi-All-Stars now.
And there is no way to surpass the Celts with such a limit!
It's not a good idea, but he really dreams that the team that will represent that terrifying West is the Seattle SuperSonics......
Beating the Seattle SuperSonics, who are now on a 13-game winning streak, at home, made Boston very excited.
Whether it's the fans on the sidelines or the players on the pitch, there is joy on their faces now.
Perhaps with one exception, that is Ray Allen.
"That ...... to help defend it"
Thinking back to the three-point whistle before the end of the game, Ray Allen's face was constantly changing as he looked at the Supersonic No. 9 who was smiling and hugging his teammates to encourage him.
He was still miserable by Yes this time.
But...... He now had the feeling that Yes could have made him even worse!
"Ray, are you alright?"
After being tapped on the shoulder by Garnett, Ray Allen shook his head gently.
"The progress of hypersonic is really amazing, but don't worry too much about it, they are destined to be just passers-by on our way to the top."
Pierce hopes that SuperSonics is not a passerby, but their final boss.
But......
Look at the back of that supersonic nine.
After all, he was a man, not a god.
