Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York City.

The Barclays Center is a $1 billion stadium built by the Brooklyn Nets, but due to the Nets' poor record, the Barclays Center was also nicknamed the "beating center" by fans in New York.

However, all of that has long since changed, and the current Brooklyn Nets, who are now in second place in the East at the end of the regular season, have the ability to challenge the best in all walks of life, and fans are no longer satisfied with making the playoffs.

LARGE NUMBERS OF FANS WEARING "PLAYOFFSFORBROOKLYN" T-SHIRTS HAVE LONG SINCE OCCUPIED EVERY POSITION ON THE COURT.

With nearly 20,000 seats at the Barclays Center, the average ticket price for the regular season is only $80, but by the playoffs, the average ticket price for the Barclays Center Arena playoffs has risen to $400, a fivefold increase compared to the regular season.

The high popularity of the two teams in New York City has now taken basketball culture by storm throughout the city.

Posters for the playoffs have been plastered all over the Barclays Center, and a large number of stars have appeared on the sidelines, which is also a silent battleground, as if grabbing a good position can show his "status" in the city.

The home team, the Brooklyn Nets, hosts the Boston Celtics, and the entire Barclays Center arena is about to begin.

The opening ceremony hadn't even begun, but the big screen in the centre of the stadium was already showing footage of the team's best looks from the year and those memorable moments.

At this time, a large number of "battlefield" reporters were randomly interviewing players from both sides. On the Brooklyn Nets' side, there are three people with the largest number of reporters around.

The first is Billy King, the general manager of the Brooklyn Nets.

Because ahead of today's game, the Brooklyn Nets and general manager Billy King reached a new multi-year contract extension.

Billy King's current contract expires this summer, and the two sides have been negotiating a contract extension since last fall, until a reunification was finally reached today, and Billy King is said to have been offered a three-year contract.

Billy King took over as general manager of the Nets in July 2010, when the Nets were still just a lottery team, and after he took office, he recruited a group of good players such as Deron Williams and Gerald Wallace, and this year helped the team recruit a number of young talents such as Tall Strong, Kauay Leonard, Kenneth Faried, etc., and the team has a record of 56 wins. Ranked second in the East. It can be said that it is quite good.

In addition to congratulating Billy King, reporters are asking more about the next step of the Brooklyn Nets.

The second person to be surrounded by reporters turned out to be Chris Humphries, a backup power forward for the Brooklyn Nets.

However, Chris Humphries was not on the spotlight because of his performance on the court, but earlier today, according to the Associated Press. The soap opera between Chris Humphries and "socialite" Kim Kardashian was finally able to come to an end. The divorce agreement between the parties was duly approved by the court.

"I think that's the best way to solve it," Chris Humphries said to reporters. However, he did not disclose the details of the agreement.

In fact, as a teammate of Chris Humphries, Gao Dazhuang has long "heard" of this soap opera, at least the big-bellied Kardashian, the child in his belly does not belong to Humphries. It's hip-hop singer Kanye West's.

Journalists are following Chris Humphries, of course, to dig up some lace news.

And the third thing that has attracted attention is naturally that the core players of the Brooklyn Nets are tall and strong.

The Brooklyn Nets will face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs, but only a few players in the current Nets roster have played in the playoffs, and their lack of experience will be a "fatal" shortcoming.

However, Gao Dazhuang said that he has talked to teammates who have experience in the playoffs about the intensity of the playoffs and the kind of concentration required to play the playoffs.

"They know that atmosphere, and I've seen it on TV," said the tall, "but it's the little things, like where to stand on the defensive end, knowing what the opponent is doing, watching the video, it's important to know the little things, and knowing them will help us get an advantage, and that will help us play better team basketball."

"I'm confident in our team's playoff journey," Gao added.

……

"Boom", at this moment, the Nets mascot "Brooklyn Cavaliers" rode a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, first stepped on the accelerator to make a roar, and then carried the banner of the Nets, and drove around the court with the start of the motorcycle, and the oversized Nets flag fluttered on the court.

Suddenly, the entire stadium went dark, and the security guards in each passage consciously pulled up black curtains to ensure that the lights outside did not shine on the stadium.

The high-decibel stereo effect began to unfold, the announcer shouted the introduction of the team, and the players appeared one by one under the rendering of flamethrowers.

After the visitors finished their game, a star of the home team came on to the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, and the appearance of the main players brought the cheers of the current fans to a climax.

The last one to play was Tall and Strong, and then the Nets DJ roared loudly: "The next one is our MVP - Tall and Strong, he will lead us to keep moving forward, GO, GO, GO......"

The two flamethrowers behind the railings "swooped" into the sky above the pitch, and the tumbling flames represented endless energy.

The tall and strong trotted towards the center of the court, and the tall and strong, who had long been accustomed to this, waved his arms to the cheers of the fans.

With the appearance of the tall and strong, now the screams of the fans are at their peak.

"1, 2, 3, come on," the other teammates of the Brooklyn Nets, who had been waiting in the middle circle of the court, shouted together after they returned to their positions in the middle of the court.

"Tall, big, big, big......" The Brooklyn fans in the stadium were also chanting the name of Tall Big, this is his home field.

The Great War is imminent!

The starting lineup for the Boston Celtics is: center Kevin Garnett, forward with Jeff Green and Blanton Buss, shooting guard Paul Pearce, and point guard Rajon Rondo.

The starting lineup for the Brooklyn Nets is: center Marcin Gortat, power forward Kenneth Faried, small forward Kaulvay Leonard, shooting guard Tall Strong, and point guard Deron Williams.

In fact, before the game, ESPN made a detailed analysis of these two teams:

ESPN's team of experts believes the Nets have a 58 percent chance of making the cut, compared to just 42 percent for the Boston Celtics. Among them, the Brooklyn Nets' offensive power is their biggest advantage over the Celtics.

Because the Brooklyn Nets' offense doesn't rely entirely on assists, singles are also their regular tactics.

With the inevitable steep increase in defensive intensity in the playoffs, many of the tactical points that work in the regular season will often be more difficult, and singles will take on more of a role.

This means that in the playoffs, both sides will face a more intense and targeted defense, and the formation will inevitably be cut into pieces.

The inevitable result of sluggish offense is the loss of easyball opportunities, the increase in difficult shots, the increase in turnovers, and the acceleration of physical exhaustion.

But the tall and strong single will be a lethal weapon for the Brooklyn Nets, as the new "scoring champion" has many scoring tools and is one of the most difficult men in the league to defend, and the Celtics' defense will face a huge challenge.

On the other hand, the Brooklyn Nets have had a lot of injuries this season, but fortunately they have come out of them near the end of the season, and the team's performance in the final month has also shown an upward stance, and with such inertia, it should be expected to perform better than in the regular season.

Finally, the last time the Brooklyn Nets made the playoffs was seven years ago.

For its core players, Deron Williams hasn't played in the playoffs in two years, and he is tall and strong and hasn't played at all, and his hunger and thirst can be imagined.

This is also the first season after the team moves, and the new arena and metropolitan city are a great opportunity to become a hero of the city and go down in team history, and will also have a stimulating effect on the playoff performance of the Nets.

The Brooklyn Nets made the playoffs in their first year of moving to Brooklyn for the first time since 2007, and the last time a team made the playoffs in Brooklyn's athletic history was in 1956.

Due to the recent Boston Marathon bombing, both sides observed a moment of silence for the victims before the start of the race, and the words "Boston Stand Up" were also written on the training uniforms of the players on both sides today.

On the right chest of the Celtic jersey, there is a yellow heart symbol.

……

With a "beep", with the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

In the jump ball, the experienced Kevin Garnett pressed Nets center Marsin Gortat, and the Boston Celtics took the lead in gaining possession.

Rajon Rondo quickly dribbled to the frontcourt, and to his surprise, the Boston Celtics' first offense was very fast-paced.

Just dribbled past Rajon Rondo in the front court and passed the ball to Kevin Garnett, Garnett did not stop after receiving the ball, and shot directly in the high post.

With a "brush", Kevin Garnett hit a jumper.

2:0, the Boston Celtics scored first. (To be continued......)
