Before the start of the game, David Stern came to the Rockets to present the championship ring to the Rockets, which is a moment of honor for the Rockets, and other teams naturally don't want to stand next to the eyesore, even if the Celtics, a team that did not play the Finals with the Rockets three months ago, they don't want to see the Rockets' bunnies receive the ring that originally belonged to them in front of them.

But the Rockets staff was a little bad, they came over half an hour early to knock on the Celtics' locker room to remind them that it was time to play, but the Celtics were not stupid, Reaves deliberately took the whole team to grind until he wasted 15 minutes in the locker room and then walked out, but this time was added and subtracted, and they still happened to meet the moment when the Rockets players stepped onto the podium, and these veterans were suddenly very tired in their hearts.

Celtics starting lineup: Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.

Rockets' starting lineup: Yao Ming, Hill, Totoro, Battier, Paul.

Compared to the Green Shirts' roster, the Rockets' starting roster has changed too much after changing half of the team in the summer, and because there are many new players joining, Adelman has been experimenting with the roster recently, and he communicated with Iguodala before the game to let the first brother play the Rockets' best sixth man.

And he also communicated with Paul, let Queen Bee start for five minutes first, and then replace him to rest for a while, and then let him partner Iguodala, Chandler, Evans and Tegibson on the court to play the opposite bench lineup, Adelman also thought about it for a long time before thinking of this killer move, Totoro has shown that he has a strong ability to hold the ball last year, and also has a great talent for organizational ability, it is a waste to let two playmakers stay on the court at the same time, after all, there is only one ball, And staggering the playing time of Paul and Totoro can ensure that the Rockets have a star-level ball handler for every minute and every second in the 48 minutes, as for letting Paul take the bench, the old coach also takes into account the relationship between him and his old partner Chandler, they are the original New Orleans Hornets repertoire, and they have all changed the director and actors to Houston, how can they not bring this aerial relay over? Moreover, Chandler has a strong defense, but his independent attack ability is low, such a boxing champion is worth an annual salary of 600-8 million a year, which can be matched with Paul, and his offensive ability has also been developed, if he can average 10 points per game, his value can suddenly rise to 12 million-15 million annual salary, which is a heel!

"Boy, I'm here to congratulate you, your luck is really good, you actually took the opportunity to pick up a championship ring, how about it? The stolen champion feels good, right? ”

When jumping the ball before the game, Garnett deliberately found Totoro and sprayed trash talk, although the three old guys of the Celtics still looked at Totoro well, and after a year of regular season and playoffs, they also recognized Totoro's star strength, but trash talk has become a mantra that the wolf king is accustomed to, and he can't change this problem after he gets used to it, let alone Totoro, even if he meets Kobe or James before the game, he can't help but go up and say a few words.

"Really? In fact, I don't think it's my luck, but your luck is too bad, the year before last was the best year for your three grandfathers, so you won the championship, last year was a year when your three grandfathers could still fight, but they didn't make it to the finals, this year, you are a year older, did you feel your knees more sore when you went to bed in the morning? Do you feel your waist more numb before going to bed at night? You're not the Big Three anymore, especially since you broke a bone at the age of 32, and even now that you're recovered, how much athleticism do you have left? ”

My Neighbor Totoro can be described as the new trash talk king, but the wolf king obviously has not directly understood the poisonous snake power of Totoro, and now he is being confronted by Totoro, Garnett feels that this little guy really has a set.

What he said is all the truth, not because he is the roundworm of the three of them, but at this time, NBA veterans are generally in this state, NBA is such a fierce confrontation, who has not been injured and operated on when they were young, and NBA players have become various non-human after their special training methods when they are young, but in fact, this is equivalent to an extreme training method that overdraws people's physical potential, making you stronger at your peak, but what about after you get older? They age faster than ordinary people, especially after the age of 30 for interior players and 33 for outside players.

They are no longer at their peak now, the wolf king can't lead the defense as widely as when he was young, Pierce and Ray Allen can no longer break through the dedication slam dunk, they are honestly no longer competitive this year, it's just that the three old guys themselves are still not old, and they are ready to fight with the sky for another year.

"Little cub, you were still drinking milk when I was playing, whether my peak has passed is not up to you, as long as I haven't been discharged from the army for a day, this league will not be yours for a day!"

Garnett said exactly the same cruel thing as Kobe, as if superstars like to deceive themselves so much when they get old, they have ruled the league for too long and are used to the taste of this kind of domination, so they have always been hostile to the newcomers who have emerged, they are not like the crown on their heads is passively snatched away, but they want to wait a few more years for themselves to hand over his crown to the latecomers after they are old.

But Totoro said that he wouldn't get used to these guys' so many problems, if you can't do it, you should abdicate and make way for Xian, I should be better than you, I should be on top, what, if you old guys fight until you are 40 years old and then talk about inheritance, doesn't it mean that the master will have to wait for another 7 or 8 years? Who is in the mood to talk to you about this etiquette?

My Neighbor Totoro didn't reply, he felt that he didn't need to fight for anything anymore, and he didn't have any trash to talk to them, he just had to use his strength to shut them up.

The referee blew the whistle, he threw the ball high into the air, and in the enthusiastic and uniform shouts of the fans, the yellow and black hands rose at the same time to compete for the small orange ball in the air.

Today, the Wolves didn't fight for the ball, otherwise the Celtics still have a little chance to earn, but on the other hand, Totoro didn't bother to fight for the ball today, anyway, it's useless to fight for the first offense, at the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, you always send twice and I send twice, there is no big difference, if he stands in the midfield circle, I'm afraid that the Celtics can't earn the ball if they replace anyone.

Paul took the basketball steadily, Rondo looked at Queen Bee nervously, before the Rockets only need to pay attention to Totoro and Yao Ming two Chinese, now there is another queen bee, Rondo feels that the courage on his shoulders is suddenly heavier, the young Paul can have the ability to play 40 + 5 + 10 or 30 + 5 + 15 players, everything depends on whether he is in good shape, the team does not need him to score so much, and whether he wants to play like this, if his teammates are very powerful, He doesn't need to get these luxurious stats to win, and Paul is naturally happy to make it easier for himself.

Yao Ming is still sitting on the inside, it's not that he can't be raised to cover Paul like Maddie did when he was there, but it's too much of a loss to pull it out as a cover with his absolute height of 2.26 meters, and it is better to hang it in and let him play by himself if he has time to let Yao Ming run back like this, so that Da Yao can save his physical strength and score a few more goals.

Perkins took the initiative to go around the front to defend Yao Ming, Hill went up to make a cover for Paul, but Rondo's defense is not to be seen, breakthrough and defense are the two biggest magic weapons he relies on to survive in the NBA, Rondo relies on his flexible steps to bypass Hill, but there is a taller, stronger, stronger wall than Hill but appeared in front of him without warning, the "fourth giant" is not prepared for this at all, "bang" hit it, and then fell to the ground.

This ball Totoro didn't have any fouls, he stood in advance to cover the queen bee, he didn't move his feet, he raised his hands high, and there was no pulling or sinking of his shoulders, which was completely Rondo himself hit him, this is the Celtics' home stadium The referee is not easy to grasp this problem, not to mention the Rockets' home stadium, and even if the whistle blows, the referee will also punish Lang for a defensive foul in the center, but seeing that Rondo fell a little badly this time, the referee hesitated and did not fall into the well to give him a knife.

Paul immediately used his speed to break through, Garnett was helpless, and had to take a step forward to delay, but in fact, the Celtics' defensive formation was messed up, and at the moment when Paul asked Rondo, he had too many offensive options, and he played so small that he went to single-handedly fight the wolf king, hoisted the ball to the right to do the blocking and dismantling Jordan Hill who had gone down to do an aerial relay, and passed the ball through Battier who was ambushed on the bottom line to play three points, and handed the ball to Totoro, he is also a misplaced small and big here, Or you can rush in and hand the ball to Yao Ming to let him attack the basket, a historically good point guard needs to take all these possibilities into account at the moment when the opportunity arises, and then make the most beneficial choice for the team in the next moment, which can be described as very difficult!

Paul doesn't know if he is perfect in this regard, but he can say very responsibly that it is not clear who is stronger and weaker in this regard, except for a few old monsters of the 97th class of the league and himself, but after the 97th class, he is the strongest brain among the traditional point guards! In this regard, even Delong, who specializes in his own ass to open the way, can't compete with him!

Queen Bee quickly changed direction in advance and directly shook the wolf king in place, so it was Garnett five years ago, he gritted his teeth and could still keep up with Paul, but if he wanted to change to Garnett, who is 33 years old this year and has just recovered from a major injury, he didn't dare to make more efforts to make moves, he could only watch Paul touch from his right side like a loach, Perkins came up to make up for it, Paul sent the ball to Yao Ming's waist from under his crotch with a dexterous base, and the little giant just lowered his head slightly and picked it up and took the ball, Score a two-handed dunk in the face of empty blue.

This ball dazzled the audience, and it was very exciting in terms of the effect of the scene, but only people in the industry know that in fact, this ball is not a complicated tactic, there are tactics that are two double blocks, and the others rely on the player's personal ability to complete the cooperation, and this kind of ball is the most terrible for the enemy coach.

If you rely on tactics to score, he can also formulate a tactic to crack it, but if the opponent relies on his personal ability to score, there will not be many ways for him, the coach, to get his hands on it, after all, he can't let his players be a few years younger out of thin air, or grow two or two more flesh?

The Green Shirts turned back and attacked, and Garnett was also inexplicable to the Rockets, although he was old, the man with the name of the Wolf King was not a No. 17 pick in the first round that could be beaten, otherwise he would be too ugly as a historical superstar.

Adelman didn't think about putting Totoro at the No. 4 position, but the first reason is that Totoro is unwilling to play power forward, and the second reason is that it is too much to let Totoro play power forward.

If Totoro plays as a power forward, he has no problem on the offensive end, and now none of the players in the league in the five positions can limit him by himself, but raising him up by one can only do it with the opposing star power forward, because Totoro himself is also difficult to defend the opposite big forward, his weight, height and tonnage are at the BUG level in the small forward position, but in the muscular power forward position, it is only in the normal category, In the case that everyone has no physical advantage in opening Totoro, it is difficult for him to rely on himself to limit the opposite power forward.

The result of this is that he could have blown up the opposite small forward at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but after being promoted, he could only play five or five with the opponent, and the opposite small forward may be able to carry the whole court without Totoro's containment, plus Totoro consumes too much energy on the defensive end, which is bound to affect his offensive play, so the gains outweigh the losses, Adelman said that he is not old and confused to this extent, he is the newly released champion coach last year!

You have a big forward, right, then let you continue to be strong, no matter how strong you are, it's just a little stronger, compared to the advantages of your point guard, small forward, center, bench players, they in turn have too many strong points for other teams, I can't solve your big forward problem, you can't solve my troubles, in the end, I'll play and see, see who can hold on to the advantage to expand, see who is dead?
