The Hornets vs Celtics game is also a relatively important event, and TNT has sent their ace combination for this purpose, Barkley and Smith, two partners that American audiences will love.

"Ray Allen is out for this game, and the starters that Celtic can put out are, Rondo, Bradley, Pierce, Bass, Garnett." Smith said as he looked at the Celtics' starting lineup. "And the starting point on the Hornets side is still a combination of Wang Meng, Belinelli, Ariza, Gasol and Okafor."

"I personally think that the Celtics' last trade was too much of a failure, Green who was exchanged for Nate and Perkins was directly suspended due to injury, and the Celtics inside line without Perkins is equivalent to one less defensive line, although Garnett's defensive ability is strong, but after all, his tonnage is not enough, and he is still very powerless in the face of power centers like Howard and Bydam." "It's better not to trade now. ”

"That being said, but the Celtics have just renewed Rondo's contract, and with the high salaries of the Big Three of Ray Allen, Pierce and Garnett, the Celtics can't keep Nate and Perkins at the same time, especially Perkins, he has always wanted a big contract, and the Celtics can't afford to sign Perkins. So there is no way to trade. Smith shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily a good thing to form the Big Three, now the league's typical Big Three have Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, THeat's James, Wade, Bosh, and the Lakers' Kobe, Howard, Paul, there is no doubt that the stars of these three teams are very strong, but look at their bench lineup, they can't take it at all, the Big Three occupy too much salary, and the team simply has no spare money to sign powerful role players, In this way, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"And today's Celtics' Ray Allen is suspended, counting, in fact, the Celtics' lineup does not have much advantage over the Hornets, and this game is interesting."

"Wang Meng, we want to win this game! You're not with the Lakers right now, and it's almost impossible to beat us. Before the start of the game, Rondo deliberately ran over to talk to Wang Meng, he and Wang Meng have always been pressed and beaten by Wang Meng, he has always been very unhappy, and he has always wanted to win against Wang Meng, after all, he entered the league many years earlier than Wang Meng.

"It's better to know than to know what the result is, you want to beat me? I don't think it's possible. Wang Meng glanced at Rondo and said.

As long as Rondo doesn't develop long-range shots, then he can't be his opponent.

In fact, Rondo and Wang Meng are very similar, they were not favored after entering the league at the beginning, but they both won championship rings in their rookie season, but Wang Meng obviously performed better than Rondo, not only surpassed Rondo in his rookie season, but also won the MVP of the finals.

So Rondo has always been obsessed, last season's regular season MVP was Rose, he broke the record of the youngest MVP, and the Finals MVP was Wang Meng, who also broke the record of the youngest Finals MVP, both MVPs were point guards, but nothing happened to him.

Rondo's current assists rank second in the assist list, 10.5, while the first-place Nash has an average of 11 assists per game, and Wang Meng ranks 6th in the league's assists list with an average of 9 assists per game.

Rondo is an introvert, he and Rose want to, they only work secretly, he doesn't talk big in front of the media like Lawson, he wants to do to use strength to prove himself.

With such an idea, Rondo aimed his strength at Wang Meng at the beginning, and at the beginning of the game, Rondo held the ball and launched an attack on Wang Meng.

At the beginning, Wang Meng was unprepared, and was broken by Rondo twice in a row, one of which he scored on his own layup, and once he assisted Garnett to hit a shot.

"It seems that Rondo is full of energy in this game, and he has beaten Wang Meng twice in a row." Smith said: "I don't know how Wang Meng will respond. ”

"I don't know yet?" Barkley rolled his eyes, "I can think of it with my ass, I definitely hit it back, if Wang Meng doesn't have the courage to do this, then he doesn't deserve to be the boss of a team." As the boss of the team, morale must not be lost. ”

Wang Meng also thinks so, if he doesn't fight back, then how can he mix in the road?

Wang Meng and Rondo have fought a lot of times, Rondo also knows Wang Meng very well, he knows that Wang Meng's most fearful thing is that it is like a drug-like terrifying explosive power, Rondo has no confidence to block Wang Meng's breakthrough after the outbreak, but Rondo believes that if the joint defense, Wang Meng will definitely be blocked, so he specializes in Wang Meng's close defense, if Wang Meng breaks through himself, then Garnett and Bass will come up to cover Wang Meng as soon as possible, and at the same time wait for the opportunity to steal.

Rondo's biggest feature is his long arms, although he is only 185 tall, but his arms are longer than the average center, it is very troublesome to be entangled by Rondo, his long arms can interfere with almost impossible to control the ball.

Wang Meng is no exception, although there is an external system, but Wang Meng's arm span is still a standard arm span, which is much worse than Rondo, Rondo's long hands are constantly shaking in front of Wang Meng's eyes, shaking Wang Meng is extremely irritable, and it is very difficult to dribble.

"It can be seen that Wang Meng is very uncomfortable to be defended, Rondo is probably the strongest defensive player in the league now, let's see how Wang Meng breaks through Rondo's defense." Smith explained very cooperatively.

Although the close defense is very effective, but too close to the defense, it is also easier to be broken by the ball carrier, Wang Meng saw the opportunity, and at the moment when Rondo focused on interfering with his own dribble, he suddenly exerted force, instantly broke free from Rondo's defense, and took the lead in breaking into the inside.

Rondo had long been prepared for Wang Meng to get rid of his own defense, and after being freed, Rondo still followed closely behind Wang Meng, and at the same time, Bass and Garnett stood a little more in the direction of Wang Meng without leaving a trace, which would not make Wang Meng alert, nor would he let go of the players he was supposed to defend.

The Celtics' small actions Wang Meng saw all in his eyes, but he didn't have time to think about more ways to deal with it, Rondo had caught up from behind, constantly interfering with Wang Meng on the side, if Wang Meng stopped, then Rondo would quickly step forward to entangle himself, here is the three-point line, when Rondo entangles himself, the Celtics only need to send another person to cover themselves, it is impossible for them to pass the ball out, it is more likely that they will be violated in 24 seconds or stealed.

"Can't stop." In an instant, Wang Meng had already made a good judgment, although Rondo had caught up with him, it was impossible to block himself before he rushed into the inner line.

With such thoughts, Wang Meng resolutely rushed into the Celtic inner line.
