Tonight's Celtics home game against the Mavericks thrilled the fans who attended the game, especially those who are loyal Celtics fans for the entire family.

Because they found that today's Green Army celebrities seemed to have half of the discussion, and collectively appeared at the North Shore Garden Arena, which made the children who had only heard the names and deeds from their parents and even grandfathers, but had never seen them play.

Chen Dao, who was already standing on the court, was just familiar with the current NBA league players, and basically didn't know these ancient, medieval, and near-ancient Celtics stars.

However, one of the old men sitting on the sidelines with a cane, he recognized that this person's name was too loud!

Jordan, the god of basketball, likes to show off his championship rings to others that he can't wear with one hand, which makes those players and stars who have never gotten a ring in their lives silent, even the big-mouthed Barkley, after Old Man Joe showed the championship ring, he can only obediently close that big mouth.

However, in front of this old man, Boss Qiao's trick is useless, because people call him "Lord of the Rings", and he has 11 championship rings, and ten fingers are not enough to wear!

Chen Zhi knew Russell, not that he had made a special trip to learn about the glorious history of the Celtics, but that he accidentally knew the old man Bill Russell when he awarded the FmVP after the Cavaliers won the championship, because the FmVP trophy was named after the first place in the Green Army, and he used to present the award, but now the old man is too old, and the heavy trophy has become a burden for him, and it is up to NBA President Xiao Hua to directly give the FmVP winner.

It is very appropriate to describe today's Bill Russell with high morality, even if Jordan is the god of basketball, but the NBA stars after Jordan, such as Kobe Bryant and James, who can represent an era, will always chase Jordan's achievements and even surpass Jordan as their goal.

But no one wants to surpass what the old man achieved with the Boston Celtics, and just nine championship rings from his playing days would make it impossible to think about it, let alone two rings in his coaching career.

If Chen Zhi still knows any famous Green Shirts in the field, it is only Danny Angie, a white old man who sits next to the old man, and is now the general manager of the Celtics.

It was he who single-handedly led the gathering of Garnett, Ray Allen in Boston, and Paul Pierce to form the Big Three of the Green Shirts, and brought the Celtics a long-lost championship trophy.

This little old man, who had just said goodbye to his prime and was still young compared to the old man, revealed a kind of coldness from his bones in his calm face, just like his gloomy and cold temperament.

Maybe this person is just cold by nature, and many fans expect Pierce, the soul of the Green Army, to die in Boston, but Danny Ainge immediately traded him away after Pierce's peak was away.

As the general manager of the Celtics, the word "his position and politics" may be used to cover his shame, but when he was a player, he suggested that the Cardinals trade the Green Army at the time, the soul of the Green Army, Bird Bird, is definitely the truest portrayal of his character, not at all emotional, just for visible interests. He may be appreciated as a team manager, but as a person, it's a matter of criticism.

However, as the general manager of the team, Danny Ainge's vision is indeed very unique, in addition to the famous Green Army Big Three, Thomas Jr. joined the Green Army, and Coach Stevens joined the Celtics naturally from his hand, this operation directly created an All-Star member for the rebuilding Green Shirts, and also freed the ball from the pain of struggling in the mud, of course, he decisively abandoned the former meritorious champion guard Rondo, and also accelerated the reconstruction of the Celtics.

If it weren't for Thomas Jr., a young All-Star, and Stevens, a young coach, Horford probably wouldn't have joined the Green Shirts this year, and Durant really wanted to play with him before finally joining the Warriors, and the result was likely to be Horford joining the Thunder.

In this Internet era, the difference between the big and small ball markets is no longer too significant for the players, and the most important thing is the strength of the team, which is one of the reasons why NBA star players are getting more and more together.

Danny Angie is absolutely competent as the general manager of Celtl, and his character aside, this is indisputable.

The Celtics celebrities who appeared at the home of the Green Shirts this night naturally came to see the "demon".

That's right, this is Chen Zhi's latest imposed nickname.

In the eyes of all fans, the Chinese player who was only 175 cm tall when he participated in the draft has a reputation just like his current height, which has been soaring.

From an ordinary undrafted pick, to a direct reputation for becoming a top-salary undrafted pick, and now after entering the league, he has shown the ability to defy the sky, breaking all kinds of dusty history one after another, before the start of this game with the Celtics, the season average was still 51 points per game, and he also led the assist list with 16 assists per game.

This is not an average score of one or two, three or four games, the Mavericks have played 9 games so far, which is not a particularly small sample, at least it is enough to show that Chen Zhi's basketball talent or basketball ability is indeed different from ordinary people.

Chen's current existence in the NBA, just like Chamberlain's when he first entered the NBA, has played an unimaginable performance that has shocked everyone.

As a result, after esPn reporter Mike Mahon analyzed Chen's use of the word "demon" in his column, the new nickname of "demon" has been spreading in NBA fan circles recently.

Losing the draft or losing the draft with the highest salary is no longer enough to match the strength that Chen has shown so far, even if the draft has become a special reference to Chen among fans.

As Nowitzki gets older and Cuban hasn't brought in new star players, the Mavericks are no longer a strong team, and even if they step on the line to enter the playoffs year after year, it is already the consensus of the league that the Mavericks have weakened.

No one would have thought that just because of the arrival of Chen Zhi, the Mavericks would directly turn over into a strong team, such a player, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a demon.

Isaiah Thomas looked at the demonic presence in the Mavericks on the opposite side, and his heart rose with infinite fighting spirit, the Celtics will definitely be able to defeat him tonight!

Coach Stevens's words in the conference room convinced him very much, "Basketball is a five-person sport, if you don't believe this, you might as well ask Mr. Russell, is there a Chamberlain who was regarded as a demon in the whole basketball world back then, and he can only bow down in front of the Green Shirts!" ”

Chamberlain is a unique presence in the basketball world, before him and after him, no one has stood out so much in the league, even Jordan and O'Neal can't reach this level, he is the strongest scorer, rebounder, and when he wants to pass, he can also be the assist king! He can average 50+25 per game all season! Career average of 22.9 rebounds per game!

However, Chamberlain only had two championships in his life, because he was in the same era as the old man Russell, and the Celtics coached by Cardinal Auerbach were in the same era.

Chen Zhi naturally noticed Thomas Jr. before the start of the game.

As long as you take a look at the Celtics, it's really hard not to notice that Thomas Jr., who is 175 cm tall, is like a child mixed in a group of adults in the country of giants in the NBA, and this child is still guarded by this group of adults, which is really hard to ignore.

For little Thomas, Chen Zhi has always been very fascinated, his family knows his own affairs, before the ball soul system appeared on him, Chen Zhi was an ordinary person with a height of 175 cm, although he played basketball well, but at best he was just a little master on the field.

In the craziest dream, it was just a time trip to the world of Slam Dunk, and I just played a game with Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, and when it came to playing in the NBA, I didn't even think about it.

And Thomas, who is only 175 centimeters tall, not only plays in the NBA, but also becomes an All-Star star, how can this not make Chen Zhi amazed.

However, when Thomas Jr. came to him with the ball in half the court and came to him, Chen Zhi found that Thomas Jr. is definitely not an ordinary person, his real body is like a pure muscle, and Thomas Jr.'s weight is definitely higher than Curry and other non-power point guard players!

Iguodala of the Warriors is a very famous "roubang" muscle, but if you put it in the same height ratio, Iguodala's muscles are definitely inferior to Thomas Jr.

In this game, the Mavericks were all in charge except for Nowitzki, and Matthews, the Mavericks' outside laborer, was supposed to defend Thomas Jr., but Chen Zhi took the job of defending Thomas Jr. to himself.

Chen's defensive ability in these games, especially his stealing ability, is seen by the entire Mavericks, not to mention that Chen's current body is definitely a huge advantage in facing point guard players on the defensive end, and the only shortcoming height is no longer a problem during this time.

However, Carlisle only gave Chen Zhi a quarter of time in the end, because Chen Zhi had too many responsibilities to bear in the Mavericks, and he really didn't want Chen Zhi to consume too much physical strength on the defensive end.

After all, Thomas Jr. is the offensive arrow of the Celtics, holding the ball for a long time, and it naturally takes more energy to face him, there is no doubt that the opposing player who is shorter in defense than in offense is equivalent to a short break on the court in many cases, Carlisle has always kept Chen in a very comfortable position on the defensive end, and Matthews has always been that hard work.

Although Chen took the initiative to defend Thomas Jr., the Mavericks did not limit the Celtics' offense in the first round.

After his teammates were all in place, Thomas Jr. held the ball unhurriedly to the top of the arc, and Chen Zhi immediately waited for him.

Chen Zhi looked at the little Thomas holding the ball in front of him, with his height of 193 cm now, little Thomas is indeed like a child, Chen Zhi couldn't help but lower his arms a little more, he felt that if the center of gravity of Little Thomas broke through low enough, it was not impossible to turn from his armpit.

However, Thomas Jr. was obviously not interested in Chen's armpits, and the Celtics were not a singles team, and Horford, who was placed under the basket, suddenly started to raise to the high position, and Thomas Jr. immediately began to block and dismantle.

That's why Horford is so popular, obviously an All-Star level player, but he doesn't reject the tiring work of doing pick-and-rolls.

When Horford strode to the high post, Chen Zhi already felt it, just like he felt McGee's cover against the Warriors, which was probably the effect of high-level brain domain strengthening.

When Chen tightened the distance between him and Thomas Jr. early, Horford's pick-and-roll was not good enough to interfere with Chen, but the Celtics' pick-and-roll was still very successful.

Because Horford found that he did not have an effective interference with Chen Zhi, he directly separated Thomas Jr. to both sides, and after seeing that Chen Zhi was still in front of him, the ball in Thomas Jr's hand did not hesitate to pass to Horford, who had been pulled outside the three-point line.

Bogut, who was originally responsible for defending Horford, was in a very awkward position at the moment, he was worried that Thomas Jr. would get rid of Chen Zhi to the basket with the help of cover, and after the Celtics blocked and dismantled, he kept a certain distance from Horford, mainly for Thomas Jr., the defense of the ball carrier.

After Chen Zhi was still defending in front of Thomas Jr., and Horford was dismantled to the three-point line as soon as he blocked it, it was impossible for Bogut's slow pace to make up for the defense.

Horford's three-point shooting rate Chen Zhi remembers very clearly, Carlisle specifically emphasized Horford at the team meeting, shooting 34.4% last season, but he is also very hot at the beginning of this season, with a three-point shooting rate of 41%, which is higher than Thomas Jr.'s current 36% shooting rate, and it is definitely a three-point point that cannot be emptied.

When the basketball flew to Horford in Thomas Jr.'s hands, Chen Zhi already realized that he had to make up for it.

Even if Chen Zhi's speed is fast, he can't pass the ball faster, especially the lateral speed, seeing Horford's hand raised up after receiving the ball, Chen Zhi immediately flew and pounced, this distance has the possibility of blocking!

However, Horford's foot did not leave the ground, and he quickly stopped the fake throw, shook his right hand, and passed to Thomas Jr. on the right again.

Fortunately, although Bogut is slow and has a lot of defensive experience, he approached Thomas Jr. as soon as Chen arrived to make up for the defense.

However, his defense of Thomas Jr., the moment Thomas Jr. decided to break through to the basket, he was immediately attacked, and people accelerated, and Bogut could only eat dirt behind no matter how hard he tried to move his feet, and speed was always the only way for a small man to defeat a big man.

In today's era of big three-pointers and pick-and-rolls, this is the reason why traditional heavy centers like Bogut are increasingly eliminated, and what was once an impregnable wall under the basket has now become a weakness that opponents use in their offense.

Seeing Thomas Jr. pass Bogut and hit the basket, the electric fan that had contracted on the wing had to completely let go of the Celtics big forward Aamir Johnson in the bottom corner, although he didn't shoot many three-pointers, but this guy's three-point shooting rate was also good.

Helplessly, the Mavericks' defense line has been torn apart, and Finney Smith had to choose this way, seeing that Thomas Jr. had already jumped to the basket while running, the electric fan immediately flew up to block it, and the guy had a good jump.

However, Thomas Jr., who was gliding after the jump, suddenly became short in mid-air, and the arm that leaned out for the layup was instantly withdrawn, and the whole person drilled directly under Finney Smith's arm, with a lever in his right hand, and the basketball hit the board into the basket.
