Want to trade Anthony to me? When I'm stupid, am I?

Danny Angie resolutely rejected the "Zen Master" deal, and he even felt that Phil Jackson was making fun of himself.

Although the trade between the two teams did not go through, Jackson's goal was achieved. Just the day before the game, "Woshen" suddenly broke the news that the Knicks were interested in exchanging Anthony for Thomas Jr. and Crowder of the Celtics, and the two teams are currently negotiating.

Although it is no secret that the Knicks are interested in trading Anthony away, the Celtics will wade into this troubled water is still unexpected by many people.

You know, Isaiah Thomas and Jay Crowder are the potential stars that the team has focused on cultivating in the past two years, and if they are traded like this, it means that the "Green Army" will have to embark on the road of accumulating stars again, but Anthony is indeed a big temptation for every team. There is reason to believe that Angie would do this.

Danny Ainge, one of the parties involved, was the first to stand up and refute the rumor after seeing this rumor, but his explanation only made others more convinced that the Celtics would be involved in the Anthony deal. This is not to blame others, who made him habitually use the means he wants to cover up? Just like when the Big Three were formed and dismantled, Anji always likes to play mysterious, always loves to play smoke bombs, maybe this time is the same?

Regardless of whether Angie is playing tricks or not, this rumor has had a big impact on the morale of the Celtics anyway.

In his pre-match interview, Thomas made a point of mentioning that "I'm going to prove my worth tonight".

This is the "Zen master" usual method of attacking the heart, just a simple phone call and a revelation, and Anji once again played between applause.

In addition to the rumours, the Celtics have worse news, as newly signed interior big man Al Horford has once again postponed his return due to leg discomfort in pre-game training (which has already been injured). Jae Crowder was injured in his last game against the Washington Wizards and will miss today's game.

The already extremely difficult Boston away game seems to have become much less difficult, and Roy smells a glimmer of opportunity to win at the Boston Devils' home court.

Of course, all of Roy's visions came to naught the moment he stepped into TD North Shore Garden Arena.

Boston's home fans are second to none in the United States, and the fierce Boston fans will not only spare no effort to cheer for their team, but also put great pressure on the away team, if it happens to face an old enemy like the Los Angeles Lakers, the scene can be even more spectacular, deafening boos, passionate spectators, flying placards, I am afraid that even the toughest players will not be able to resist at that time.

Kobe Bryant and Odom have suffered greatly, and the media has rated the Boston Celtics' home court as the most terrifying home in the league.

For the New York Knicks visiting today, Boston fans also gave earth-shattering boos.

Rose, Roy, Lee, Porzingis, and Noah, the old lineup of three consecutive victories, appeared in the sonic attack of the fans.

When it was the turn of the home team, the Boston Celtics, to take the stage, the boos immediately turned into cheers. The starting lineup for the Celtics is point guard Isaiah Thomas, shooting guard Avery Bradley, small forward Marcus Smart, and power forward Amir Johnson and Kelly Olnick.

To talk about this Celtics team, although there is no second All-Star player in addition to Thomas Jr., the whole team is very combative, whether it is the main force or the bench, the rotation players or role players, such as Crowder, who is not reused in the Mavericks, Smart who is ignorant of potential rookies, and even Thomas Jr., who was born in the low pick, have all made a breakthrough in the Celtics.

The key to the Celtics' success is their head coach Brad Stevens, the representative of the NBA's new generation of young coaches, who is not only handsome and dashing, but also has a wealth of tactical knowledge. It was he who brought the Celtics back to the playoffs from a rebuilt underdog in three years, and also turned the young Celtics into a strong-blooded team.

The secret of Stevens' success is his hard-working attitude and rigorous tactical style, all of which he has come from his experience as an NCAA coach. Brad Stevens made a name for himself early in the NCAA when he led the little-known Butler University to the NCAA Finals twice, becoming the youngest head coach to reach the NCAA Final Four since Bob Knight in 1973 and the youngest head coach to reach the Finals since 1940.

Danny Ainge is looking at Stevens' two specialties to correct him, and the current iron-blooded Celtics team has inherited the brand of Stevens' coaching, with efficient offense and strong defense.

As soon as the game started, Royf experienced this Stevens-esque defensive style, positive defensive attitude, tough physical contact, easy switching between man to man defense and zone defense, and the ubiquitous defensive traps. All of this reminded him of another famous college coach, "Old Coach K" Shashewski.

However, at this point, he is no longer facing the same immature NCAA players, and now he is facing a group of NBA players, and when they come to implement NCAA defensive tactics, that efficiency is naturally good. In fact, that's where Stevens was able to succeed, while retaining the NBA's own style of play while incorporating the NCAA's rigorous tactical doctrine into it.

In the first quarter, under the rotation of Bradley and Smart, Roy's offensive efficiency did drop a lot compared to the previous two games, and his individual offense was difficult to break through the Celtics' defense, and the Celtics players' rotation was too fast. And the first two games played very easy blocking and pick-and-roll tactics were also found by Stevens to deal with it, Aamir Johnson and Kelly Olynyk who blocked and switched defenses are the kind of big men who are active and desperate in defense, and Roy's hand today is really average, he played 8 minutes in the first quarter and scored 2 points on only 1-of-4 shooting.

In Roy's opinion, the Celtics' defense is much stronger than the Jazz in the last game, although the outside world is touting how good the Utah Jazz's defense is, but in Roy's opinion, the Jazz's defense is only a few points strong, and their defensive system is far inferior to the system of the Celtics in front of them, not to mention that the Jazz only let Hayward be stupid to defend themselves, and the Celtics' pinch defense is ubiquitous.

However, although the Knicks' offense was not good today, their defense was uncharacteristically excellent. After being awakened by Roy, Noah has been doing a very good job of defending in these two games. As the league's best defensive player ever, Noah is a fast-moving, physically good interior gatekeeper, and as long as he has a good defensive attitude, he is definitely a formidable player. In addition, the Celtics' offensive leader, Isiah Thomas, the "175th best on the surface", also did not play well in the first quarter, scoring only 4 points.

The two sides battled for 12 minutes in the first quarter, with only a low score of 14:19, and the Knicks still trailed by five points.

It's really a troublesome opponent, after playing a quarter, Roy can be considered to have learned the power of the Celtics, and the cream boy in the suit opposite is not only in charge, he really has two brushes.

Roy remembers Avery Bradley's stalking; Remember that Marcus Smart always used his strong body to hit himself; And, of course, Isaiah Thomas's ghostly movement and his motivation to break the ball all the time; In addition, Aamir Johnson, who looks like a butcher, and Kelly Olynyk, who has sloppy long hair, these two guys will pounce on them as soon as they hit the inside line, and they are extremely moving. Especially Olynyk, his defensive moves feel like he wants to waste himself, and the murderous aura is too heavy.

Even if you want to score in this way, you have to peel off at least the skin. Roy shook his head, if he didn't pass the ball in the first quarter, he would definitely be fine with a few free throws, but the damage to his body would be too great.

It seems that it has to be flexible, Roy was thinking about it, and his eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea.

Because, he saw an old acquaintance Jaylen? Brown played......
