Chapter 8, Thunder Green Wars - Summer's Achievements Showcase.

Before the playoffs started last season, Kevin Garnett, the offensive and defensive core of the Celtics' interior line, was injured and immediately announced the reimbursement of the season.

Garnett's absence due to injury was full of mourning, and the Celtics were immediately underestimated by three points on the way to the playoffs.

But the Bostonian fought back with real action.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Celtics and the Bulls fought 7 games, and the scene was absolutely singable.

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, they fought to the death with the Magic, even if they fell short at the last moment, but the resilience is strong, and it is important to be tough, but the fundamental guarantee that the Celtics can go so far is the strength, especially the maturity of the young people.

Rondo has three triple-doubles in 14 playoff games.

The interior combination of Perkins and Davis caused Howard to lose face, and Big Baby even shot a game to kill.

Youngsters such as House have been nothing short of impressive, and these new recruits have matured after a long journey, and they can already provide consistent and powerful help to the Big Three, and they can make a difference on the team's way to the championship.

This is the Thunder's opponent tonight, welcoming the championship-level team that has returned from injury at the core of offense and defense - the Green Shirts.

...............

The opening game of the NBA is still broadcast live nationwide by TNT.

Today's commentators are Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley is not there.

"Reggie, if Garnett hadn't been injured last season, do you think the Lakers can win against the Green Shirts?"

"Even if Garnett doesn't reimburse me, I think they won't be able to win, no one in the Eastern team last season can stop the Lakers, haven't you noticed, after the Western Conference finals, Kobe Bryant took the Western Conference championship trophy with a black face, and Kobe's determination to win the championship last season can be imagined!!"

"Well, the Celtics going to the finals is at least much more exciting than the Magic entering the finals, Garnett's value is not reflected in the data, but the reason why the Lakers lost to the Celtics in 08 was also because only Kobe Bryant was ready on the whole team, and the injuries of Anzhu and Ariza made Kobe Bryant alone. This year, they are all healthy, but it is the turn of Garnett of the Green Shirts to retire from injury, and naturally the champion in June is also the Lakers, and the competition between the two teams can actually be seen from the Christmas game, and the Lakers can win the cup even against the Celtics. ”

"Haha! Well, yes, Kobe Bryant last season was his most mature season, more dominant than any previous season. ”

"Well, okay, let's get back to the game, do you think the Thunder three little guys have any hope of taking out a few old fritters in Boston?"

"It's difficult, their tactics are too single, that is, only singles and fast breaks, and the summer reinforcements are also very poor, so there is a blue-collar Chandler, Rivers's tactics should be able to limit their offense, don't forget that Garnett, the core of the Celtics' defense, is back."

"I don't think it's easy to say, do you see, KD, Lee, Russell are obviously stronger and more mature than last season, their offensive firepower can definitely be in the top 10 in the league this season, spear and shield competition, they may have a chance."

Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith have expressed their opinions.

..............

The Thunder's jump ball is finally no longer pitted.

Chandler jumps to win.

He tossed the ball to Westbrook.

Wei Shao is very calm with the ball to advance.

The defense is less than the guidance of Rondollang.

Wei Shao cautiously came to the top of the arc to observe.

The Celtics were the league's leading defensive team last season, and their defensive position is airtight at this time.

Westbrook couldn't find any space, and when he saw his opponent's position, he knew he was in trouble.......

The Celtics won the championship not by relying on the sharp offense of the Big Three, but by a dominant defense.

In that championship season, the Celtics were the best team in the league in terms of limiting opponents' three-point shooting percentage versus their opponents' overall shooting percentage, and then they strangled their opponents with offense.

The Celtics are so strong defensively because they believe in team defense, and the defensive chain formed by the whole team is indeed watertight.

This season is no exception.

The Thunder three young players played the Celtics for the first time, and the pressure was great!!

However, despite the Celtics' very strong defense, this year's Thunder is no longer last season's Thunder.

Chandler A+, Westbrook S, Lee Forest A, Durant SS, Ibaka A.

Let's not talk about tactical tacit understanding.

The combination of strength of this kind of super players on paper of the Thunder is enough to compete with the Celtics this year

After Wei Shao struggled for a while, he directed the ball to KD, who was also on the right side.

The defender in front of Durant is Paul Pearce.

Uncle Pi is anti-protrusive.

Durant dribbled left and right, changed direction sharply in front of his body, found a gap, and accelerated past Uncle Skin.

Bursting inside to the free throw line, Durant was greeted by Garnett's long arms.

If there is anyone else in this league who can limit KD, then Garnett is the first.

Durant couldn't see it, and he couldn't force it to shoot, so he had to throw the ball out to Ibaka outside the three-point line on the left.

The Thunder's two interior lines are a bit hard, and only Chandler can get a foothold inside.

Ibaka didn't even get a chance to get in, the inside line was too crowded.

He doesn't have the ability to shoot three-pointers now, so Ibaka is a little embarrassed to get the ball outside the three-point line, so he can only look around for someone, Westbrook wants to come to answer, and is entangled by Rondo's long arm.

"Saiji, here !!"

Lee Forest took a position in the low post on the left and in the card slot with Ray Allen.

Ibaka heard it and quickly hoisted the ball to Lee Forest.

Lee Forest jumped forward in the low post to receive the ball.

"Lee, let's try it in singles, don't tell me, you can only throw 3-pointers."

Lei Allen clapped his hands and said to Li Linlin.

Then he pressed his hand against Li Linlin's waist.

Ray Allen was very unconvinced that Lee Forest had the No. 1 three-point shooting percentage last season, because he shot almost twice as many three-pointers as Lee Forest.

But the praise of the media is all from Li Linlin, a rookie.

Li Linlin was not stimulated by Lei Allen, but looked up at the timer.

The Thunder had taken too much time to pass the ball a few times before, and now they only have eight seconds left on the offensive time.

The low-post offense is another signature offense of Lee Forest in addition to the three-point shot.

Li Forest now has a physical gift.

Then there is Paul Pearce's status experience + Kobe's experience after being possessed + the learning steps of Olajuwon in the summer, plus the "step-back jumper LV3".

Li Forest has polished his offensive skills in this position to an extreme, which may be inferior to the current Kobe, but the gap is definitely not big.

Li Linlin watched the time go for 1 second, no longer hesitated, and immediately leaned on Lei Allen.

The right foot is the pivot foot, and the left foot is constantly testing back and forth, feeling the center of gravity and position of Ray Allen's defense.

Almost.

Dribble and turn.

Squeeze out of Ray Allen.

Continue to take two steps to the right.

Stop the ball and make a gesture to shoot.

Seeing this, Lei Allen quickly pounced forward.

Lee used an extremely realistic shooting feint to shake off Ray Allen, who jumped over.

Then he turned around again with his right foot as the axis.

Vacancy.

Stepping on the spot and kicking his legs, Li Linlin used the standard backward posture that he had practiced countless times on the training ground.

Leaning back slightly, reaching the highest point, the ball is shot at the moment when it is about to fall.

The arc of the ball in the air is high.

"Huh!"

2 to 0.

"Wow!"

The ball rolled into the net in the amazement of the crowd.

It was as if all the viewers had seen the figure of a person they knew very well, but hated very much.

Lee's step-back shot is too similar to that Los Angeles No. 24.

"Oh oh oh, Kenny, the Chinese kid's low post offense has improved since last season, guess who, whose shadow do I see?"

Reggie Miller said with his mouth wide open to the camera.

"Haha, do you still need to guess? The Celtics' most hated opponent, Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen is probably thinking the same thing in his heart, China Li can always surprise people, his offensive level is much stronger now than when he first entered the league. ”

Kenny Smith can also be regarded as a person who has witnessed Li Linlin's growth step by step, and Li Linlin has given him too many surprises.

"70 points in a single game", "12 minutes in 34 seconds", "Domination in overtime to destroy the Bobcats", "35 points in a single quarter to destroy the league's first Cavaliers".....

As a result, Lee used this textbook low-post offensive foot, and Kenny Smith was only slightly amazed.

..............

"Allen, how is the ball? Rest assured, it's not two plus one. ”

Li Linlin's mouth was very cheap, and he fought back against Lei Allen and said.

Lei Allen was indeed a little depressed, and his single defense couldn't prevent Li Linlin.

Garnett came over and glared at Li Forest with wide eyes.

Then he patted Ray Allen's chest and said, "Allen, don't worry, leave this kid to me." ”

Li Linlin finished slapping Ray Allen, and on the way back, he high-fived Durant.

The first offensive tactic was not Li Forest's, Durant fell into a defensive trap, and Li Forest helped Durant take the pot.

..............

Celtic's baseline serve.

Rondoro instructed him to dribble calmly.

In the face of Wei Shao's pressing, Lang Duo did not panic at all, protected the ball with his left hand, and signaled his teammates to run tactics.

Ray Allen started running from the baseline on the right side and cut diagonally to the left three-point line.

Lee Forest chased frantically, but was blocked by Garnett's body in the high post.

Ibaka was also a step slower to make up the defense.

Ray Allen was diagonally 45 degrees to the left and received the ball from Lang's guidance.

Large vacancies.

Ray Allen catches the ball and takes a shot.

Facing the sea.

Spring.

Comrade Li Forest also enjoyed the feeling of being educated by a top three-point player, and the Thunder's paper defense was cracked by the Celtics with a simple off-ball cover + run.

"Huh"

2 to 3

Ansobo.

Ray Allen responded with his trademark three-pointer to Lee Forest.

"Pretty, Aaron, cum through Chinese Lee's ass."

"Perfect movement, Allen's three-pointer."

As soon as the goal was scored, the crowd at the North Shore Garden Arena instantly rose to prominence, the audience applauded thunderously, and the shouts were deafening, and Boston's home advantage was revealed at this moment.

Ray Allen vs Lee Forest.

This is one of the highlights of the media hype before the game.

One was the player who made the most three-pointers last season, and the other was the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage.

The duel between the two has a kind of top shooter inheritance, of course, it is more of a collision between Mars and Earth.

At this time, Li Linlin's face was very dark.

Rookie Ibaka's awareness of supplementation is still a little worse.

This guy has a lot of block stats, but no one has ever thought he's a good interior defender, and he can't do the role of a defensive fulcrum.

Li Linlin asked for the introduction of Chandler, and also hoped that Chandler could take on the role of the Thunder's interior defensive core.

Ibaka was a little annoyed, touched her head, and didn't say anything more.

................

The turtle catches the ball.

Twist your hips to advance.

Over halftime.

Durant came out at the top of the arc to catch the ball.

The opening offensive tactics arranged by the Thunder before the game were mainly Durant attacking first, Chandler and Ibaka immediately went up to cover, and the others tried to pull away.

If Durant can't play, he will give it to Li Forest in the low position, and if Li Forest can't open it, he will give it to the Turtle.

Westbrook was the final finishing option.

If the ball is given to the turtle in the end, it means that the individual attacks of Durant and Li Forest are limited by the Celtics' marking and regional defense, and the turtle will directly impact the basket and use talent to create kills or bursts.

The Thunder have added a lot of cover and blocking on the old singles tactics, which are slightly less easy to see.

This is also the way the Thunder attack is best at.

…………

Kevin Garnett, despite his age, can still support the Green Shirts' defensive system.

The steel defense formed by Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, and Perkins made Durant with the ball at the top of the arc quite painful.

KD was sure to beat Pierce, the top defender at the No. 4 position, but he couldn't break through Garnett's defense again, and Rondo came over to harass him from time to time.

Li Forest also saw Durant's entanglement.

Although KD has the strength to average 30 points per game this season, his targeted defense against the league's No. 1 defensive team, even if he is the scoring champion this season, he can't do whatever he wants.

Chandler also has a high ball quotient, and he saw that Durant didn't want to play the ball now, and quickly made an off-ball cover for Lee Forest.

Lee got around Ray Allen's defense on cover and came to the left low post.

Durant also passed the ball directly to the low post Lee Forest.

But at this time.

The Greens have changed their guards.

Behind Lee Forest was changed from Ray Allen to Garnett.

Li Forest felt the impact of Garnett's power, and his steps staggered a little, almost walking.

No matter how old Garnett is, he is also an inside player, how can Li Forest be impressed by his back play.

So Li Forest quickly turned around and framed.

In the low post on the left, teammates pulled away.

Lee Forest vs Garnett

Garnett spread his long arms, just covering Lee Forest, and didn't cut the ball. Trash-talk towards Li Forest:

"Chinese boy, don't run away, there is a kind of fighting by yourself, I will let you."

It's paralyzed.

When Li Linlin saw this long arm, he complained, he didn't want to do anything, and directly confessed.

If he encounters Garnett in the high post or on the outside, Li Forest can still try to pass.

But here.

Hehe.

After Li Linlin turned around, he also looked for someone as soon as possible, ready to throw the pot.

It's a pity.

Li Forest looked around, and there was no suitable receiver.

Rondo had already discovered Lee's intentions, and if Lee's pass was low, his long arm could break the pass at any time.

Chandler is not in a good position, and he has no ability to play alone.

Serge Ibaka hadn't settled into the team yet, dangling around at the far end.

Durant fought Pierce on the other side.

Li Forest couldn't find anyone to pick up the pot.

It feels cooler.

Li Forest saw that it was almost 3 seconds, and seeing that Garnett had put some space, Li Forest quickly dribbled back.

Pull out the high position.

"Lee, will your celebrity girlfriend break up with you when she sees you so soft."

"KG, there is a kind of don't leave after the game, whoever goes will have a grandson......."

This KG is really underbeaten, Li Forest scolded and returned the scolding.

As soon as Garnett heard that Li Forest was ready to fight after the game again, he immediately stopped ......, this time it was his turn to coax.

KG is just fierce in appearance and cheap in mouth, and he is really a little worried when he encounters Li Linlin's explosive force value......

Li Linlin saw that the ball could not be passed.

I had to forget it and give up the pass.

Do it yourself.

Li Linlin's dribbling rhythm accelerated, and his shoulders kept shaking to make breakthrough feints.

KG's big long arm followed Li Forest like a shadow.

Lee dribbled sharply forward, then flung the ball behind his back and jumped to the right with a back dribble to the right edge of the free throw line.

Collect the ball, lift it with one foot, and throw a realistic shooting feint.

Garnett didn't shake, he just opened his arms tightly and leaned over.

Lee Forest turned his back again and turned his back on Garnett.

Garnett adjusted the center of gravity of his body very high because of the rhythm with Li Linlin, and was pushed back by Li Linlin.

Li Linlin turned around again with gorgeous steps.

Turn over and lean back.

Although he turned twice in a row and made many feints, Li Linlin's right foot pivot foot never moved.

In order to avoid Garnett's long-arm interference, Li Linlin used a limit to throw a large back-back shot.

The arc was also deliberately raised.

The ball flew over Garnett's palm.

"!!Shh

4 to 3

This attack Li Forest exhausted all his might.

The results were wonderful.

After the ball was scored, he was greeted by a quiet scene at TD North Shore Gardens.

No applause, no cheers.

Lee used one-on-one offense to break down the one-man defense of Garnett, the heart of their defense.

Garnett didn't get too upset, just slammed the ball on the floor.

"Reggie, I love watching this young man play, really, I'm conquered by him."

"Haha! It seems that this kid is not just picking up girls and shooting advertisements in the summer! This step is even more gorgeous than the one just now. ”

.............

Li Forest did not celebrate.

The two attacks just now, he consumed a lot, and he didn't want to waste fearless energy to shout and vent.

The game has just begun.

Durant looked at the back of Li Forest, his eyes were also full of fighting intent, and he muttered in a low voice: "Lee, is this the result of your summer training?" You're better than you were last season. ”

Durant looked at him as he finished muttering.

The next ball, he's going to come on his own.

Westbrook is the same, and he would love to pick it himself.

Wei Shao thought that he had improved a lot in the summer, and gathered the team that returned with the attitude of surpassing Lee Forest and catching up with Durant.

But Li Linlin's two attacks just now once again knocked down Wei Shao's confidence to surpass Li Linlin!

...............

Chandler and Ibaka both took the initiative to come over and give Lee Forest a high-five.

These two goals convinced the two new signings.

Li Forest's performance was undoubtedly shocking to them, Garnett's defense is definitely the top in the league, especially the defensive guards, Li Forest can play one-on-one like this, it is enough to brag about it......

…………

Celtic attack.

Rondo borrowed Garnett to cover and broke through to Ray Allen, who cut inside.

Lee Forest was stuck by Pierce again.

Ray Allen scored in the air.

4 to 5.

The first two rounds of both sides were completed.

But everyone can see that Celtic play with ease, all kinds of coordination, tactical movement.

Both of the Thunder's goals were heroic goals.
