"Garnett is not less brave than he was back then!"

Hubby Brown exclaimed, when he led the Grizzlies, he often played against the Timberwolves in the West, but Garnett, who is nearly 32 years old, still has super defensive awareness and lateral movement ability, and the scope of this defense, from the outside to the inside, is his figure.

In the regular season, the Celtics had many big wins, so Garnett's playing time also plummeted.

From averaging 39 minutes per game with the Timberwolves to only 32 minutes per game with the Celtics this season.

In the playoffs, Garnett has preserved a better form, playing at the top interior level in the first and second rounds, averaging 20+10+3 per game, except for assists, the rest is the same as the Timberwolves.

Wang Ming also frowned deeply at this time, in order to defeat the Celtics, he must solve the point of Garnett.

Unlike when he dealt with the Timberwolves, this time Garnett is really difficult to cut inside and outside, and giants like Pierce and Ray Allen can also flank Garnett enough support, and his defense is a hurdle that the 76ers must pass.

On the court, the 76ers also have tricky areas for the Celtics.

Allen Iverson faced a young Rondo, and after the first high block failed, he broke through the second direct dribble.

Iverson, who bent down, dribbled back and forth under his crotch, tried to break through left and right, and then suddenly took a step and broke through from Rondo's right side.

Rondo turned, and his amazingly long arms circled around to interfere.

Iverson turned a blind eye, was a point quicker, and rushed into formation in the blink of an eye.

Subsequently, dare to make a mid-range jumper before Garnett's defense arrives!

Hit!

"Allen Iverson is also very good, this mid-range jumper is perfect, and he has the style of Michael Jordan." Hubby Brown was also amazed when he saw Iverson score, what a sensation he caused when he was a short champion in '96, and now he is a 33-year-old veteran, but what remains the same is his dirty pigtails and headband, his ever-unwavering gaze, his perfect crotch cross-step breakthrough, and an unattainable pull-up jump shot.

The strength of the two teams was half a catty, and they fought for 5 minutes and drew 7-7.

Wang Tomorrow and Rivers didn't mean to call a timeout, Wang Tomorrow squinted his eyes slightly, stood on the sidelines to observe the situation on the field, and his mind was racing to analyze the Celtics' tactics.

On the court, Garnett fell to the low post and singled Pau Gasol.

The crowd pulled out the space, and Garnett hunched up, holding the basketball aloft high, and looked his head behind him.

The 76ers didn't even think about the bag.

The Celtics are somewhat accurate on the outside, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce are both strong in three-point ability, the only inaccurate Rondo is at the top of the arc, and Iverson can shrink, but he can't shrink under the basket.

Garnett analyzed it in his mind, turned around, and attacked with a frame.

Gasol was on the lookout, guessing how Garnett was going to attack.

As soon as he looked up, Garnett took a big step and moved backwards.

"Step back jumper!"

Gasol didn't know what Garnett's idea was, so he quickly stepped forward and moved a step, and then jumped up to interfere with Garnett's shot.

Garnett's arms are really long, with his arms held high and his straight-arm jumper almost uncovered.

Gasol's interference was not strong.

Garnett's wrist is pressed down, and after the basketball is dialed out, the top of the arc is graceful and the frame is accurate.

"Huh!"

Rolled up a white net flower.

Offense and defense transitioned, and the 76ers attacked the position.

Iverson attacked with the ball and blocked with Gasol, still encountering the Celtics' unwavering pack, but this time, there was a gap in their pack, and Iverson hit the ground and passed between the two.

Gasol was comfortable receiving the ball from a mid-range position and hit a jumper!

9 to 9.

.......

Paul Pearce felt tricky.

The white No. 9 on the opposite side is the new best defensive player in the NBA, and sure enough, the aggressiveness and skill of the defensive end are high, forcing him to play in uncomfortable situations.

Pierce hasn't scored points until the first quarter.

Iguodala's mission in this series is simple, to keep an eye on Paul Pearce, the Celtics' top scorer on the wing.

In fact, the 76ers' wing defense is underrated, and Saflosa and Iguodala's defense can switch defenses infinitely and can easily mark ball carriers, but they are slightly less pressing for off-ball movement. So relatively speaking, Ray Allen was a little more active in the first quarter than Pierce.

Pierce managed to pick up the ball in the elbow zone and was a decent three-man threat.

Unhurried, he took the ball and dribbled to the left, then broke to the right, leaning on Iguodala, the strength of his strong torso, to squeeze through the space.

Near the baseline, he took a big step back and rolled over in the air to shoot.

This is his best step-back shooting, which has been in the league for more than ten seasons, relying on this skill, and he has practiced it many times for a long time, and he is very handy at shooting.

"Bell~"

The crisp sound of striking iron sounded.

Under the basket, Garnett stuck with Pau Gasol, and the position where the rebound bounced was more favorable to him, and he and Gasol jumped at the same time, both of whom had super strong reaches.

Garnett, a little above his fingertips, was the first to touch the ball, and he gently pulled it back.

After landing, turn around and jump again, no one can match, grab this rebound.

"Watch where the rebound lands!"

Wang Ming saw a backcourt rebound, and his heart ached, this is an offensive opportunity, in the playoffs, every rebound is crucial.

Garnett grabbed the rebound and hoisted the ball to Rondo in the middle line.

Rondo stretched out his long arm and re-commanded.

Then, the Celtics ran again, receiving the ball from outside the three-point line by Ray Allen, and after receiving the ball, he faked a real shot and made a one-step jumper.

Still out of the way, Damham Porter grabbed the rebound.

Bulham Porter is the interior big man who emerged on the 76ers team this season, averaging 8.9 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, of which the number of rebounds hit a career high, with the style of Uncle Mu.

The reason why Durham Porter has been firmly in the starting line of the 76ers is that Wang Mingming has taken a fancy to his excellent rebounding ability.

Iverson changed direction in succession, dribbling from the left to the middle and then to the left from the middle.

At 45 degrees from the three-point line, Iverson and Dyrem Porter blocked.

The people who defend the pick-and-roll are different, and the Celtics' tactics are naturally different, and Perkins will not choose to trap Iverson, so Rondo goes around to chase Iverson.

In an instant, there was a three-point shooting opportunity, and Iverson directly shot a 45-degree jumper!

Rondo's long arm caught up with the interference, and he didn't believe Iverson would score this goal.

When he played three or four years ago, Iverson would not have chosen such an offensive method at all, but under Wang Mingming's command, three-point shooting is always a very important lesson, and Wang Mingming has a deep-rooted emphasis on three-point tactics in his heart, especially when the team system was not mature last season, three-point shooting became the foundation of the 76ers' life.

Iverson is getting older, and sometimes there are fewer breakthroughs, so there are a lot more mid-to-long-range shots, and single-block three-point shots like this are also easy to come by.

"Huh!"

Hollow hit!
