Chapter 166: The "Cossack" Legion

The league championship lost to CSKA Moscow in the preseason!!

As soon as the pre-season began, there was unbelievable upset news coming from the European arena. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On October 6, the NBA preseason European game began, and the Celtics, who were playing away, lost their first game in Moscow and lost to the Russian CSKA basketball team by six points.

It's incredible! Although it was an away game, it was just a pre-season game, but the strong Green Army actually lost to the Red Army?

Although the opponent is a team that has just won the European League championship and won the ninth Champions League trophy in team history, in the eyes of fans, CSKA Moscow and the NBA champion Celtics are not at the same level at all!

The dignified high school and junior high school students played and actually lost by 15 points in the third quarter, and even if the Big Three played in the last quarter, they failed to turn the situation around, and still lost to CSKA 107-113. This is too funny!

The most unacceptable thing is that several core players of CSKA Moscow are nothing more than a group of recruits who have just entered the camp in the eyes of the league veterans!

Center Victor? Paplov, Peter Daizen? Kirilenko, small forward Ayyor? Vasilyov, point guard Ivan? Ivanovic, quarterback Sergei? Kadrowski is a newcomer who has been in the world basketball for less than three years.

Through a series of preseason European games, this group of rising stars in the fighting national basketball world has blown a "tricolor" whirlwind, which has forced the American professional leagues to look at it differently, and Russian basketball has a great momentum to re-emerge.

The average age of CSKA players is only 23.4 years old, which is slightly younger than the Bulls. The Celtics thought it was just a warm-up game without suspense, but they never wanted to be planted in the hands of the "Cossack Legion".

From the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the Celtics were comprehensively suppressed by this group of white players of the fighting nation, and there was no half-point advantage in either offense or defense. Especially in the frontcourt, the loss to the opponent reached a terrifying 13!

Center forward Victor is 2.25 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.37 meters, and weighs 150 kilograms. Standing and dunking the ball into the hoop, it's a scary freak!

Nicknamed "Donkey Kong", the combat radius is really strong. The most terrible thing is that the hand feels soft, and the high hit rate of medium and long range shooting is amazing!

Compared to the clumsiness of a traditional centre-forward, Victor moves quickly and is highly mobile, making it difficult to associate this beast with his terrifying height and strong body.

Power forward Peter? Kirilenko is the grandson of the famous Russian player nicknamed "AK47" Kirilenko, just 19 years old this year, 2.013 meters tall, more flexible than Victor, a full body of kung fu with a good back, and the stability of mid-range shooting is much better than that of his grandfather. Good bounce and very good rebounding awareness.

Small forward Ayol, 2.08 meters above sea level. It can be said that he is a relatively versatile player, some of whom are similar to Yi Yang. can be inside and out, can actually control the ball and advance, the bounce ability is amazing, especially in defense, it is definitely a good hand.

In addition to the height advantage, these three are even more burly and strong, so that the black players, who have always been proud of their physical integrity, cannot do whatever they want in the paint area. It's against the sky to have three super tanks with such horsepower in one team!

And the two guards of CSKA, Ivan and Sergei, have an extremely wide field of vision, amazing basketball IQ and organizational ability, and ball control skills and speed make Maxim? James also secretly spoke. Under the strong cover of three meat shields, there are two terrifying mobile turrets!

Among the five players who are so outstanding, the big center Victor is the talk of the team. But this soul figure is also the same as his four teammates with facial paralysis, who don't talk much, have a serious expression, and are full of basketball fighting machines.

The nickname of the "Cossack" regiment was obviously not given in vain, CSKA played a fierce style, the offensive and defensive transitions were not affected by height at all, and the efficiency and speed made the league champions who underestimated the enemy tired and complained.

When did the European champions get so tough? After two quarters, the scene was completely unexpected by the fans, and the offensive and defensive ends were completely blown out by the Russians, but with rich on-court experience, the score was not obvious.

Entering the third quarter, CSKA began to exert its full strength, and its physical fitness and shooting percentage were a little too shocking. If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing unusual about the Reds in the Europa League drug test, Celtic and American fans really wondered if this group of unsmiling lads had doped!

Until the whistle blew at the end of the third quarter, the score difference had been stretched to double digits by CSKA!

The panicked coaching staff didn't want the trip to Europe to end in such a humiliating debut. Regardless of the purpose of training newcomers and running in the team in the preseason, in the fourth quarter, the league's champion with the Big Three as the core of the starting main force all appeared.

However, this was of no avail, and after a long time to catch up, it was still a complete defeat in Moscow. What's even more surprising is that the advantage of LeBron Jr. and O'Neal Jr. on the inside no longer exists.

The wonderful performances of five young Russian players not only shocked the Celtics, but also frightened the American professional leagues. They all competed in the 2037 NBA Draft this season! Could it be that 2037 is the year for Russian players to shine!

If any team has these people, it can form a strong team that can compete for the championship in a short period of time. Hopefully, this preseason game is just an occasional flash of overperformance for CSKA that Celtic didn't take seriously.

I thought it was just an upset, but I never thought that the Spurs, who had a full lineup three days later, also lost to CSKA by a big score! Even in the preseason, this ending is enough to make people stumble!

The basketball bigwigs, who have never paid attention to the Euroleague, have found that the "Cossack Army" that stands out from the crowd is growing too fast!

In the first year of the lineup, they broke into the semi-finals of the Europa League, and then won the European Championship for two consecutive years. In the face of the major European giants, they have been comprehensively crushed and swept the opponent.

I've seen such reports before, but I didn't take it seriously, until this time the Green Army and Spurs capsized in the gutter one after another! Looking back on CSKA's outstanding performance in the European League in the past two years, the major teams in the league that have always been above the top can't help but tremble.

This team that shines in the Europa League has only been taken seriously by the league. A series of studies have found that Russian basketball has grown rapidly in Taoguang Yangyang, and its strength should not be underestimated.

The speed of this collective growth is too incredible, five positions, five players with good performance, actually collectively brilliant, it is really a once-in-a-lifetime miracle! And the team is all white players, which has always been dominated by black players, adding a lot of highlights and expectations.
