Chapter 142: The Celts

Van Gundy looked at the Knicks players on the court sweating, and knew that the upcoming three home games would be terrifying home games, and as long as one of the three games was won, it would be acceptable to all players, but the three games didn't know what the outcome would be.

The current situation is that there are no available soldiers, Van Gundy can only look forward to someone who can stand up and play at an extraordinary level, then Ken can guarantee a victory is certain, the evening game will be the first of the three games, the Celtics, speaking of the Celtics, a series of honors, a large number of fame will rise in the mind, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Auerbach, etc., as long as people watching basketball will try to understand this basketball team,

The Celtics with the "Big Bird" Larry Bird and the Lakers with the "Magic" Johnson, in the 80s, the two teams took turns to sit in the NBA to stage a championship show, since Larry Bird retired, the Green Shirts began to become a weak team in the East, and even could not enter the playoffs for up to six years, and in the 01-02 season, under the leadership of Paul Pierce and Anthony Walker, they broke into the playoffs, but they still could not return to the scenery of the year, and lost to the New Jersey Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, this season's comeback, the Celtics themselves know that there may be little hope on the road to the championship, but they are still aiming for the playoffs, and for the Knicks, the Green Shirts are now slightly better than themselves.

Liang Xiao is on the field and Houston in the opposite position, the team competition, Liang Xiao shows the growth speed is no one in the team can compare, now there is still some gap in Houston, but in the technology is constantly improving and Liang Xiao, so that Houston is a little amazed, just take the stunt like the shot, Liang Xiao has learned Houston's four or five success, how long has it been going on, this season started in October, and now November has not ended, Liang Xiao has not much time to study, But the talent shown made everyone in the Knicks believe that Liang Xiao's future is limitless.

After the match, Van Gundy called everyone to come forward, analyzed the serious situation that may be faced in these three games in the team, first of all, give every player a preventive shot, don't be at a loss on the field at that time,

Van Gundy emphasized that he should do his job well on the inside and outside, and think about how to attack, offense has now become a problem for the Knicks, that is, when encountering a strong team, he can always find a good offensive means, especially when he encounters strong resistance on the inside, the Knicks are like hitting a wall, which makes Van Gundy very entangled, and there is no good way to change, and it is still very unrealistic to change the inside line now, and the only way is to hope for a breakthrough on the outside. Therefore, in the confrontation against the mainland, it is more about practicing how to rely on the strength of the outside line to break through and get more opportunities.

Liang Xiao as an outside lineman, in the first few games also played a long time in the role of point guard, which made Liang Xiao in the ball control technology also has a great role in promotion, the most important thing is to be able to better deal with the ball, this team confrontation, Liang Xiao is more trained how to break through the defense, find a good opportunity to score layups or share the ball with teammates, create scoring opportunities, with a good opponent like Houston, Liang Xiao has a greater breakthrough in the new, Houston as the league's mid-range shooting king, has good defensive skills and first-class scoring ability, which tests Liang Xiao's skills in all aspects.

After a confrontation game, Liang Xiao is like a regular game, which shows that Liang Xiao is still very hardworking, Liang Xiao himself also knows that if he doesn't work hard, there will be more talented players in the land of the NBA, Liang Xiao knows that in the next season, the NBA is about to welcome the best batch of players after the 96 golden generation, these players in the previous life, Liang Xiao witnessed their growth, and finally became the pillar of a team,

November is coming to an end, and New York City is enveloped in darkness very early, but the bustle of the city is like day.

Madison Square Garden Arena, the home of the Knicks, is now crowded, all the fans with Knicks tickets are entering the court one after another, and in the Knicks' locker room, the players are making final preparations to meet the three devil's battles at home.

Liang Xiao and Sprewell sat together, watching the Celtics video, and Liang Xiao's good habits gradually influenced Sprewell, a person who usually doesn't pay much attention to watching these game videos.

"Ratril, you're an old man in the league, why do you think they're so famous in Boston." Liang Xiao has never known why these teams in the United States and teams in big cities are often not famous, such as in a capital like Washington, but the Wizards are the belly of fish in the league, and the Knicks have always been in a position in the league.

"Well, it's really hard for me to ask this question, I think it's just the popularity of a team that is slowly accumulating, and those old teams with a glorious history will also be attractive." Sprewell answered Liang Xiao's question next to him,

"Hey, are you sure to defend Paul Pierce tonight, look at him, look at you, I'm really worried about you, I don't know if I'll be able to find your person by then, won't I turn around and see you knocked away by him, then I won't find someone to pass the ball." Liang Xiao looked at the video on which Paul Pierce used his body to constantly press the opponent, tonight Pierce will play against Sprewell, Liang Xiao couldn't help but joke about Sprewell,

Sprewell looked at Liang Xiao and then looked at the TV, "This guy is really a big guy, how can there be such a small forward." Sprewell also muttered to himself, Liang smiled and patted Sprewell's shoulder, but did not speak, it seems that tonight's confrontation will be a vicious battle,

The broadcast rate of this game in the United States is not high, many sports TV stations have not broadcast it live, although the Celtics are the team in the history of the league, but now it is a team with little combat power, this game was broadcast live on the domestic court five channels, because Liang Xiao is on the field, plus the Celtics is a team with countless honors, for domestic fans, the most important thing is to have their own people playing on it is the most important,

Imperial Court Radio 5 began to broadcast the game at nine o'clock, the domestic fans are at work, most of the fans and friends are complaining that they have no chance to see the game, but there are people watching the game in various universities in China, Zuo Qiang's dormitory is still recorded as usual, waiting for the start of the game.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the game we broadcast today is the Knicks at home Madison vs. the Green Shirts, the two teams have their own strengths in this game, let's see who will win this game in the end, the basketball commentator we invited today is Mr. Sun Instructor, fans and friends can interact through the prompts below our frequency screen, okay, this game is about to start, Coach Sun, what do you think of this game, which team has a better chance of winning." The moderator made the opening remarks, followed by the two teams' win-loss commentary.

Sun Zhengping, the commentator, as an old-timer commentator, has his own views on the two teams: "If you want to say who will win this game, I think it's the Knicks, why, we look at the Knicks' lineup compared to the Green Shirts, it is still more neat, but the Knicks are not as young as the Celtics in terms of the youthfulness of the players, and the two teams I think as long as the Knicks play well, the Celtics will have a smaller chance of winning." ”

"So you're saying that now as long as the Knicks don't make any mistakes, they can win this game."

"yes, that's what it means."

"Then what do you think of the possible performance of Chinese player Liang Xiao in this game, you must know that Liang Xiao has been constantly improving since he arrived in the NBA, and no one can surpass him as far as the Knicks are concerned." The host began to speculate about Liang Xiao's performance again,

"Liang Xiao as a Chinese player, is really a rare talented player, I think in terms of the situation in these games, I think this game, Van Gundy will still reuse him, the Knicks' team structure is aging, Liang Xiao as the youngest player in the Knicks now, has good skills, I don't think anyone will put him on the bench without it, as for his performance, I think there should be no problem above 15 points, as long as the playing time is guaranteed." Director Sun is very optimistic about Liang Xiao's performance,

"It seems that Liang Xiao's performance can be as Coach Sun said, okay, now the game has officially begun, the two teams stand in the middle circle and start jumping the ball, okay, the Knicks' Harrington is better and gets the ball, let's see what the starting lineup of the Knicks and Celtics is, the starting lineup of the Knicks has not changed, Liang Xiao is still sitting on the bench waiting for the substitute, the Celtics starting lineup is: point guard Tony Deck, point guard Jr Bremer, small forward Paul Pearce, Big forward Anthony Walker, center Tony Battier. "The host said about the Celtics lineup, the Knicks have begun to attack,
