Chapter 218: Boston Gets Off the Horse

Completely different from Miami's enthusiasm, the 76ers entered the city as if they were being treated by an aggressor, and everyone looked at the 76ers as if they were going to dismantle them.

This made Al Thornton, who came to the East for the first time to participate in the playoffs, feel a little panicked, and his scalp tingled.

"The eyes of these guys seem to tear me apart." Al Thorton spat and quickly turned his head away, not looking at the fans outside the window.

"Normal, Boston fans........" Iguodala pouted, accustomed to it.

Everyone took the bus to the TD North Shore Garden Arena and entered the away team's locker room.

As soon as Wang Ming pushed open the door and walked in, a black shadow suddenly fell from the threshold, jumped out, and pounced on him like lightning.

"What's that?"

The king was taken aback and furious.

Everyone exclaimed, and when they dispersed, they saw that there was a cyan snake on the ground, spitting out his temperament, and looking at the 76ers who were watching him with cold eyes.

"Disperse, everyone, don't get bitten!"

Wang Ming let out a loud shout and calmly grabbed Millsap, who wanted to rush up to catch the snake.

This snake is also afraid of the 76 people, and after being surrounded, it has not moved, coiled up, and observed 360 degrees.

Wang asked assistant coach Randy Ayes to call the arena staff.

Twenty minutes later, the staff came running in full gear with gloves and sacks - to catch snakes.

"Your safety factor here is too poor, such a snake is in our locker room, if my team member is bitten, who will be responsible for today's game?"

"That is, if our head coach is bitten, will you pay us a head coach!"

Millsap shouted categorically, followed by Wang Mingming, and blamed the staff, and added.

"Of course, even if you pay us a coach, we don't want it."

The staff repeatedly laughed and apologized, and sweat oozed from their heads.

"Forget it, let's go in!"

Wang tomorrow beckoned everyone into the locker room, such an episode passed, wasting more than half an hour, which was not enough time, and it was even more compact.

In the locker room, Wang announced today's start, and at the same time, laid out some offensive tactics and defensive points.

Soon it was time for the official competition.

Everyone walked through the passage and into the court, the stadium was very brightly lit, and as far as the eye could see, it was all green, the classic color of the Celtics.

The warm-up session is over and it's time for the Celtic ceremony.

With the DJ's passionate voice, the two sides started their debut, and the game was about to begin.

The 76ers' starting lineup remains unchanged, with Iverson, Saflosa, Iguodala, Gasol and Dareham Porter, the lineup that faced the Celtics last year.

The Celtics also started little change, with Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett and Perkins.

Wang Mingming didn't know, because of the 76ers' health strategy in the past two years, many teams are vying to follow suit, like a group of veterans of the Celtics, some time before the start of the playoffs, they have been rested and maintained, so Garnett and others are in very good physical condition, and they fought seven games with the Bulls in the first round, and they are still in good spirits.

Originally, Garnett suffered a major knee injury this year and did not participate in the playoffs.

Wang Mingming only feels that the Celtics are stronger than last year, and this year's Celtics have been more proficient in the tactical practice of a group of pass-cutting and running positions on the basis of maintaining the original lineup, and the chemistry is particularly good.

Garnett and Dyham Porter jump balls.

"Toot ~"

After the whistle blows, the game officially begins.

Garnett jumped to win the tee-off, Perkins took the ball, wore his crotch and landed to Rondo.

Rajon Rondo, advancing with the ball.

Rajon Rondo has matured, he was a little immature last season, this season, in addition to showing the ability of a top ball handler, he also has a good hand of layup and passing skills, and his vision is very broad, becoming the Celtics' dominant point of possession.

At the same time, Rajon Rondo defended particularly well, which led to the improvement of the Celtics' overall defense.

At this moment, Rondo has the ball outside the three-point line.

If it was last year, Rondo would have handed over to Pierce or Ray Allen on the wing, but now, the Celtic's tactics have changed a bit, and Rondo didn't give the ball to the wing for the first time.

Instead, he beckoned Kevin Garnett to the elbow position for axis cover.

Garnett covered Ray Allen's counterrun, and the moment Ray Allen was about to come out, Rondo made an early pass.

Ray Allen catches the ball, turns and shoots straight for a jumper.

Two points to hit steadily.

Offense and defense transitioned, and the 76ers attacked.

It was Iguodala who held the ball, the top of the arc moved to the right, Gasol took a step inside the three-point line to block and cover, Iguodala used the cover, but immediately suffered from Garnett's defensive interference.

"You can't get by!"

Garnett trash talks a lot, meeting Iguodala, a direct taunt.

Hum!

Iguodala's gaze was cold.

Accelerated with the ball, but behind him, there was also Pierce chasing the defense, and they did not hesitate to defend the 76ers' team carrier.

Iguodala jumped up and passed the ball to Pau Gasol.

But the moment he jumped, Garnett had already retreated.

Gasol picked up the ball from mid-range, Perkins came up to make up for it, and he passed the ball to the basket, and Hellam Porter jumped up to release the ball, which was heavily disrupted by Garnett's long arm.

Missed, the rebound was taken by Garnett.

Defensively, Garnett was everywhere.

Garnett's rise to be the best defensive player is not only reflected in his stats, but also in his richness of the Celtics' overall tactics, and an all-round defensive wizard like him is rare in the world.

Celtic attack.

Garnett, who fell to the low post, held the ball, and at this point, the Celtics crossed the outside and Rondo covered for Ray Allen.

Rondo is skinny and has a high ball quotient, and the quality of this cover is well done, and Ray Allen runs out and is half empty.

Iguodala went to help defend as a result, and the entire 76ers' defense was thrown into disarray.

Pierce moves to the bottom corner, receives Garnett's pass, and makes an open three-point shot!

Hit!

The fans cheered.

The Celtics went 5-0 in the opening game, hitting both offenses and giving the 76ers a dismount.

The 76ers players deeply felt the terrifying atmosphere of the scene, and among all the teams this year, the Cavaliers' Quick Loan Center players and the Celtics' TD North Shore Garden Arena are known as the two major devils in the East.

In the entire 08-09 season, the record of the eastern team against the western team was 231 wins and 219 losses, breaking the pattern of the league's weak east and strong west.

Wang Mingming's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but pick up the tactical board.

The Celtics' offensive and defensive state surprised him, and the 76ers seemed to be at a disadvantage as soon as they came up.
