Chapter 146: Heart Qi
~
"Wait a minute, we'll just play as we normally would, and teach the One, he's the pitch commander and the engine of the attack, and he knows what to do." In the last moments when the players were about to play, Williams was still solemnly admonishing.
Although the game has not yet begun, the atmosphere of the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is still filling the entire Smoothie King Center Arena. The Celtics are no ordinary team, they belong to the league's oldest top powerhouse.
Founded in 1947, the Boston Celtics became one of the founding teams of the NBA in 1949 and are now part of the Atlantic Division of the NBA's Eastern Conference.
The Boston Celtics have won 17 NBA championships in history (1957, 1959-1966, 1968-1969, 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984, 1986, 2008), making them the most NBA team with the most championships. From 1959 to 1966, under the leadership of "Cardinal" Auerbach and "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, he won an unprecedented eight consecutive championships, creating the first dynasty in the history of the team. In the 70s, John Havlicek and Joe Joe White led the team to two more championships. In the 1978 Celtics, the Celtics drafted Larry Bird, the best white superstar in NBA history, who led the team to three championships in the '80s. After entering the 21st century, in the 2008 NBA Finals, the Celtics defeated the Los Angeles Lakers for the ninth time 4-2 under the leadership of the "Big Three" Paul Pearce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen, and won the 17th NBA championship trophy in team history.
It can be said that the Green Army has been full of scenery and fame and fortune all the way; And what about the Wasp! There is not a single hair. Whether it is fighting for the foundation or the strength on paper, the Hornets and the Green Army are not comparable.
Although the Hornets jumped to the first place in the West because of the selection of Yang Yi, Hornets fans were still a little worried when they encountered a veteran powerhouse like the Celtics. After all, the fat man has only been in the league for half a season, and the Hornets' lineup is too weak. Once dragged into their rhythm by the Green Army, the Youth Army can easily collapse.
However, worry is worry, and the tsunami-like shouts at the scene are not less at all.
"Hey, Monty, we all know what to do. Anyway, everything has a boss! Today's game is definitely going to be a confrontation between the boss and Rondo, and we just need to help that. Gordon said with a grin. The expression on his face was extremely relaxed, after all, he had just won ten consecutive victories, and he was back on his home turf, shouldn't he relax a little?
Compared to the intense state of readiness of the Green Army, the Hornets are undoubtedly much more relaxed. They have won 10 straight games after the victory over the 76ers, and their morale is high, and it seems that even the top giants in the league are not in their eyes.
And Gordon's mentality also represents the vast majority of the Hornets' players, who haven't had such a good result in the league for so long! Now that it has won the first place in the west, there is nothing that cannot be satisfied.
Williams originally wanted to reprimand him when he heard Gordon's words, but when he saw that the other players on the team except for the fat man were like Gordon, he held back the reprimand.
Nima, all a group of guys who are rich and safe, does not have the temperament of the first in the west at all. No wonder he has been in the alliance for so many years, he still looks half-dead, and he has no heart, how can he find his position in the fierce competition in the alliance!
At this point, Williams is more appreciative of fat people. No matter what Gordon said, he had a smile on his face. However, once on the field, he will do his best and become an existence that other teams will not be able to handle.
The pillar of the team, the backbone of the team, the soul of the team! The core of the youth army is still the young man in front of him who is less than twenty years old! Williams sighed secretly, physical fitness is innate, but the will is acquired, without tenacious will and superb heart, even a guy like Kwame Brown who has become too physical can only be reduced to mediocrity.
"Ahem, Eric, Monty is right, you can fight as you want. However, if you have a chance to attack the basket, you can't be soft. Seeing that Gordon and they were slacking off, the fat man hurriedly spoke.
He now has the Magician's Hawkeye passing skills, and if Gordon and they don't play, just play it alone, and the Hawkeye pass is still a fart!
But then again, the Hornets have won 10 in a row, but they are still tired from long, high-intensity games. Today is another back-to-back game, and even the fat man himself has a sense of exhaustion, even if he is equipped with Zhang Dashuai's infinite physical fitness.
And not only the body is tired, but the heart is also tired! Every day, I am either playing or on my way to a race, and I have little free time other than sleeping.
……
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Although the wolf king is thirty-six years old this year, his bounce and speed are still good, and he is extremely experienced, at least the young Lopez is not his opponent.
Garnett easily flicked the ball to Rondo at a height half a palm above Lopez, who held the ball to lead the Green Army's attack.
Yang Yi stared at Rondo, who was dribbling, and quickly pounced.
Speaking of dribbling, although Rondo is not too famous, his ability to protect the ball is very good. Because he has a pair of big hands similar to a fat man, he can hold the ball at any time without worrying about being bullied by others.
Of course, there are not many point guards in the league who can bully him with their bodies, and it just so happens that the fat man is one of them.
Yang Yi took advantage of this and quickly posted it after Rondo dribbled past half court. It's a tactic that the previous manager had developed and it was completely tailor-made for him.
"Hehe, senior brother, the master said that he wants me to follow you." The fat man said as he squeezed Rondo with his body. He spread his hands wide to block Rondo's passes and breakaways.
Rondo tried to swoop out a few times, but when he saw that he couldn't stand up to the fat man at all, he changed his mind.
"Haha, brother, don't follow me, I feel better if I'm alone." Rondo smacked the fat man back and tried to pass the ball to his teammate who had already landed in position.
Rondo is known as the 'Lang center', and the overall situation is naturally good, and he sees that he can't break through the fat man's blockade for the time being, so he hoists the ball to the inside.
"Hey, Kenny, the Kentucky brother duel seems to have ended with a junior victory, Rondo didn't break through well, and he couldn't shoot mid-range, and he could only pass the ball out after being blocked by The One. Yes, yes, there is finally a successor, so I can rest assured that I can explain it in TNT. Barkley stroked his big bald head and winked at Smith.
"Bah, it seems that the donkey butt back then hasn't made you remember it for a long time! I think the one has now surpassed you back then, what successor is there, it's completely to put gold on your face! Kenny Smith said disdainfully.
