Chapter 699: Winning streak
(It's almost 700 chapters)
For the Boston Celtics, the game of the new season is not very easy to play, especially at the beginning of this season, except for the first game to play the Heat, the Boston Celtics have been away in the first few games, and the beginning of the season is the first to run to the West, which is also a big challenge for this team, of course, it is also good news for this team, as far as the NBA begins these days, Zhuang Fei has encountered these opponents, More or less now there are some hidden problems in themselves.
For example, in the previous Boston Celtics defeated the Heat, this Pat Riley's team currently lacks a more stable second organizational point, and the same for the Raptors and Hornets that they just defeated before, they also do not have a second team that can continue the firepower of the main lineup, of course, for small ball cities like the Raptors and Hornets, it is enough for them to be able to not lack two pounds or two in the starting lineup, and it is really difficult to expect too much from other things.
Of course, for now, the Boston Celtics' fourth opponent this season, the Mavericks, is not such a team, this season's Mavericks' record should be said to be good, although this team was not able to win their most coveted Hamilton in the offseason, nor did they get Odom, who can solve their weakness in the third position, which is a little difficult for the Mavericks to accept, for the owner of this team, Cuban, he is not short of money, not only he is not short of money, this team is not short of money.
Of course, not being able to improve the team in the offseason is a very disappointing and bad thing, but it does not mean that the Mavericks will decline or become uncompetitive like the Kings, at least for the current Mavericks, their core players have not changed, and the core players of this team are still growing, in this case, even if they are not able to perform much else in the summer, but this team is also growing in strength, which is different from the king.
In this case, this team can still remain competitive in the West, at least for now, in the entire West, in addition to the Lakers, Spurs and Timberwolves or Kings, the Mavericks are still the strongest, but for this Mavericks, although they are very good, but their first few games are also as speechless as the Boston Celtics, this team has lost two of the first three games, one is the opening game to the Lakers, although the current Lakers do not have Kobe, But in the opening game, they still beat the Mavericks, and the Lakers' new player Malone even completed a triple-double with only one assist in the game.
And this is also the basis for many people to think that the Lakers will be crazy this year, after all, the Lakers can beat a team like the Mavericks without Kobe, which is definitely a very uplifting thing for this Laker, and if Kobe Bryant comes back from solving the Eagle County incident, then this Laker will be even more terrifying.
Of course, the Mavericks are now regarded as a benchmark, a benchmark for testing strength, which is extremely helpless for this team, no team is willing to do other people's footnotes, and it is just more unlucky for the Mavericks to let the opponent step on their shoulders and climb up, and after losing to the Lakers and Hawks in the new season, it has also become a footnote for all experts and media to evaluate the strength of the Lakers and the Hawks, so for the upcoming Boston Celtics, There is no intention for this team to make it past last season's home stadium, otherwise it will definitely be a huge blow to the morale of this team if this team keeps losing after the start of the season, so for this team, the game against the Boston Celtics is absolutely necessary to give it their all.
Therefore, Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics also encountered stubborn resistance in Dallas on November 2, this team has shortcomings, whether it is defense or no one at the third position or no defense on the inside, but this team is also a team that can completely ignore its own shortcomings like the Kings, such a team can easily use its own advantages to make up for its own shortcomings, and in this game, the Mavericks did a good job, this team caused a lot of damage to the Boston Celtics on the offensive end, Similarly, the Boston Celtics also had a big impact on the Mavericks on the offensive end.
As far as this game is concerned, both teams are playing offense, and this offensive battle was only decided at the end of this game, although the current state of the Mavericks is problematic, but this team's offense is indeed still one of the best teams in the NBA, and the Boston Celtics in this game are also a little difficult to solve, and finally in the case of this team using foul tactics, the Boston Celtics only won the Mavericks 119-114 by 5 points, At the same time, it was also the third defeat in four games that gave the team. And after defeating this calf. The Boston Celtics are on a four-game winning streak to take on the team's next opponent, the Spurs.
The Spurs have brought in Kidd this season, so this team is almost one of the most anticipated teams this season, but in these games at the beginning of the season, this team seems to be far inferior to the Lakers, another team that people expected. And this Spurs here is still struggling, and they are also studying the run-in method of the team, of course. Even if this team is not in the best form right now, this team has only lost back-to-back games to the Raptors on the road this season, and the team has won the other games, which is the difference between the Spurs and the Mavericks.
"Coach, it looks like it's going to take a while for the Spurs to find the best lineup for this team."
At the SBC Arena, the home of the Spurs, Steven Green, assistant coach of the Boston Celtics, said to Zhuang Fei with a smile after watching the game on the court, the problem that the Spurs are encountering now is that there are too many veterans who have retired and left this season, and because of the arrival of Kidd, the team's starting point guard position is difficult to place. As far as this game is concerned. Popovich played as a double point guard in this game, allowing Parker to appear on the team's guard line to partner Kidd, but in terms of results, it can only be considered mediocre.
Parker is not a good player with and without the ball right now, and in this case, it is difficult for such a two-perimeter combination to play the most powerful, and again, if the Spurs' starting point guard can play off the bench, after all, the Spurs' young player is playing off the bench when he enters the league, but obviously. Without Duncan's inside containment, the team's efficiency on the bench is not very stable, the French sports car's ability to attack with the ball is very good, but he is not a player who can continue to attack steadily, his offensive means are too simple, and many times as long as the opponent adapts to the focus and arranges, this defender is tragic.
At this point, he is even worse than Wade, who has the same single means as he is now, although Wade's offensive means are also very simple, but this Boston Kyle's painful guard is the kind of player who even if you know what he should do next, but you can't prevent it, in terms of dominance, Parker is not Wade's opponent at all, that is to say, the French guard of the Spurs has not yet reached the invincible or highest level in his single offensive power, so this is also a problem that has been plaguing the Spurs, The team has yet to find the most effective way to play.
"Yes, although our team has some problems this season, it is still a little easier than the Spurs" Zhuang Fei also said with a smile, this season is very strange, just like many experts think that this season's NBA is a subversive season, many teams are facing the pain of adjustment this season, especially these strong teams this season, even the current Boston Celtics, The current Celtics also need Wade to grow his tactical ability as soon as possible to enter the team's starting lineup as soon as possible, but compared with the Spurs, the Boston Celtics' problems are not very fatal.
After all, even if Wade can't get into the starting lineup, the Boston Celtics are able to solve the problem enough, after all, in addition to the Finals last season, Arenas was on the bench, and at that time the Boston Celtics were still one of the four strongest teams in the league, so compared to the current Spurs, the Boston Celtics have more space to adjust themselves, and this game can clearly express this, in this game Parker as the starter effect is not ideal, Wade, on the other hand, is still playing well on the bench.
And the Boston Celtics starters are still extremely stable, although the Boston Celtics don't play the '1-4' tactic now, but the Boston Celtics starting lineup still has a lot of ways to solve the game, so this game under the influence of these two aspects, the final score is also a little helpless 105-97 for Spurs fans, the Spurs lost to the Boston Celtics at their home court by 8 points, which is very important after the loss in the finals. Because Kidd's arrival is a blow to Spurs fans who are just as disgraced as their teams.
After beating the Spurs, the Boston Celtics have won five in a row in the new season. (To be continued.) )
