The Sataramento Kings, located in California in the Western Pacific region, once used the Princeton system under the leadership of former Rockets coach Rick Adelman, with Chris Webber, Pejastojakovic, McBibby, Vlad Divac, Bobby Jackson, and Hidutekoglou as the team, becoming the most watchable team in the NBA.

But the Kings have not been able to stand out in the West, let alone participate in the Finals, and the closest to the Western Conference championship was also crushed by the Lakers led by O'Neal and Kobe!

After McBibby moved to the Hawks in 2008, the King's golden generation came to an end, and Tyrek Evans, who was used as the core of the rebuild, made his rookie debut at the peak, and since then he has been playing worse and worse, gradually losing the aura of the best rookie, and was also sent to the Pelicans by the team that lost patience.

The current Kings team, led by coach Mike Malone, is centered on the interior giant DeMarcus Cousins, with Aaron Avlalo, Jordan Farmar, Tylawson, Omi Kasby, Ben McLemore and other outside shooters, plus a mobile forward Rudy Gay, which is completely a copy of the Orlando Magic team that reached the finals in 09!

But it's a pity that Cousins' deterrence at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is comparable to that of Warcraft in '09, and there is also a kind of three-point shooter on the outside, but Rudy Gay can't replace the role of Turkoglou in the Magic team that year, because he didn't have a very tacit chemistry with Cousins, which also led to the reason why the Kings look similar but not god-like!

Moreover, Cousins' temper is more childish than that of Warcraft......

Against such a team, the Celtics will not waste the possibility of winning in vain, for Cousins, Stevens formulated a defensive strategy at the beginning, after all, only relying on the 2.08-meter-tall Al Horford can't limit this interior giant!

For this game, the Celtics also adjusted the starting lineup, the big man Taylor Zeller started for the first time this season as the starting center, while Al Horford took the position of the starting power forward, putting Amir Johnson on the bench!

The starting line-up announced by both sides before the game is as follows:

King of Satramento:

Center: DeMarcus Cousins, 2.11m;

Power forward: Costa Kufus, 2.13m;

Small forward: Rudy Gay, 2.03m;

Shooting guard: Aaron Afflaro, 1.96m;

Defender: Darren Collisson, 1.83m.

Boston Celtics:

Center: Taylor Zeller, 2.13m;

Power forward: Al Horford, 2.08m;

Small forward: Ye Hai, 2.01m;

Shooting guard: Blanton Rush, 1.98m;

Organizational defender: Chris Paul, 1.83m.

At the beginning of the game, the Kings won the ball, and the first offense was handed over to Cousins, and the muscle-training Kaoshen launched an offensive against Zeller as soon as he came up! Leaning on Zeller's chest with one hand, holding the ball with one hand, starting directly from the free throw line when facing the basket, squeezing Zeller away with a strong body, and directly rounding his right arm when he arrived at the basket, a one-handed split, and the ball was directly dunked to Zeller's head!

“Help！ Help！ Zeller shouted at the snickering Horford.

When it came to Cousins' next offense, Horford put away the snickering face just now, and when Cousins was just starting, he immediately doubled with Zeller to block Cousins outside the box.

This season's Cousins' passing skills have been much better than before, as evidenced by last season's average of 3.2 assists per game, after being trapped, Cousins will no longer attack as recklessly as before, but pass the ball to the shooters on the outside, but the Celtics' outside line has the speed and explosiveness of Ye Hai and the natural steal king Paul is in charge, plus Rush, whose physical fitness is also above average, the Kings do not have any good opportunities on the outside.

Horford is not at all worried about Kouvers, who missed because of the bag clip, and if Kouvers, who only has a shooting percentage of just over 40%, it is not intended to be the outcome that the Celtics would like to see the most.

"duang~duang~duang~" As the Kings' outside players continue to play iron, Cousins's heart is gradually becoming anxious!

With a "hey", Cousins pushed Zeller down with one hand, and then slammed a one-handed dunk to finally send the ball into the basket, but the referee's whistle also sounded immediately.

Seeing that the referee signaled that the goal was invalid, Cousins, who was prone to hot heads, began to relentlessly, chasing the referee and chattering. Ye Hai and Horford stepped forward to pull Zeller up, Ye Hai was a little dumbfounded and looked at Cousins who finally shut up after being blown by the referee, and thought in his heart: "There are still such stupid people in the world..."

In China, although there are very few players with such physical qualities, there are indeed few players with such ball intelligence and emotional intelligence. It is worthy of the reputation of "the first center in the league below the head"!

When playing against Rudy Guy, Ye Hai did feel Guy's good physical fitness, but in the NBA, there are more and more players with physical fitness, and Ye Hai even feels that Guy, who only knows how to use his body to play, is easier to deal with than players such as Jimmy Butler he met before!

After using packs, fouls, etc. to eliminate the threat of Cousins, the Celtics gradually gained an advantage on the court, under Stevens' tutelage, the Celtics' outside defense has also made great progress this season, of course, the improvement of the outside defense is also due to personnel changes, the departure of Isaiah Thomas and the addition of Yahai and Paul, so that the team's outside defense no longer has obvious defensive holes.

And the Celtics already have their own defensive expert, that is, Jack Crowder, who is on the inside and outside! After being squeezed out of the main lineup by Ye Hai, he knew that he could not compare with Ye Hai in attack, so he simply put all his energy into defense, relying on his body and ruthlessness, and giving full play to his greatest advantage in defense!

109-90, the Celtics at home continued their unbeaten record at home this season, Cousins scored a double-double of 23 points and 13 rebounds under the Celtics' targeted defense, but also had 5 turnovers, 3 of which were offensive fouls!

After beating the Kings at home, the team will leave for Philadelphia overnight, because tomorrow they will have back-to-back road games against the Philadelphia 76ers, who have welcomed Simmons back this season and have a huge improvement in their record!

"Ye Hai, it's time for you!" Josh Jackson, the ace of this year's champion show, the ace of the U.S. national youth team, and Ye Hai's old enemy, has long been ready for this game and is waiting for the arrival of Ye Hai and the Celtics! (To be continued.) )
