Generally speaking, in NBA games, the main lineup will leave the court in the second half of the first quarter, rest, and then try to maintain the follow-up of combat effectiveness in the more critical and more scorching fourth energy saving to prevent physical collapse.

But today, both the Celtics and the Warriors retained the main lineup to play a whole quarter, Rivers and Nelson, the two coaches representing the new and old generations of the NBA, both regarded the first quarter as a tiebreaker.

The Celtics took a huge lead in the first quarter, and Rivers was a little relieved and began to rotate the main lineup. As Chamberlain and others had previously speculated, his main players were on the older side, and he had to find ways to help them maintain their strength for the sake of future fixtures.

Maintaining physical strength is not only for the follow-up games, but also because for an event of this intensity in the NBA, once the physical strength is exhausted, it will be extremely prone to injury, especially for veterans, this problem is more prominent.

The Green Shirts rely on the Big Three, and if these three are injured, they will be basically out of action this season.

Garnett was the first to go down, and in the second quarter, big baby Davis came in for him, and Pierce also went off, and James Posey, the leading big brother on the Green Shirts bench. The Warriors' lineup change is relatively small, and they also rotate with two people, but their main players are there.

Harrington replaced Evans, Barnes went off the court, and a player on the shooting guard surprised everyone, Delonte West.

Seeing West play, Davis, who had also just come on the court, was happy, and he grinned and said, "Hey, boys, are you all available?" actually let this little **** play, did he give up the game so quickly? ”

West walked up to the stage like a puppet with a blank face, and only by looking at him will you notice the frenzy in his heart at the moment.

The Celtics once gave him the greatest hope, praised him in every way when he was selected, but then abandoned him like a stumbling block, this feeling of ups and downs once shattered his self-confidence, his withdrawn character, part of the reason came from the Celtics, so today with a chance to take revenge, how can he really be indifferent?

Davis saw that West didn't speak, thinking that he was calmed down, and kept chattering, Chamberlain looked at him in disgust and said impatiently: "Shut up, crybaby, you'd better pray to God that he will protect you today, otherwise be ready to cry again." ”

This is Davis's reverse scale, Garnett was originally short-tempered, and now he came to the Green Shirts to come for the championship, so of course he wants everything in the team to be equipped according to the championship standard, and his standard for treating his teammates is also required by the championship teammates.

In this way, a contradiction arises, and championship-level players, even if they are supporting roles, are all players with sufficient strength. Obviously, Davis is not such a person, he does not have such ambitions, and for him, entering the NBA is not for some damn honor like a championship, but for money!

Davis's lack of motivation and inability made Garnett extremely unhappy, and this is the kind of substitute that the team has given him? BULLSHIT！

In order to promote Davis's growth, Garnett is usually strict with him, and he scolds him at every turn. Davis doesn't have a brave heart, his heart is inversely proportional to his size, and he was scolded and cried by Garnett once, and unfortunately, Eddie House is a big mouth, and he stabbed the reporter about it, so Davis became famous in the league, and House and he turned against each other because of it.

The opening shot of the second quarter was for the Green Shirts, with Posey and Rondo making a pick-and-roll and shooting from the ball.

It's a pity that the mid-range shot is not what Posey is good at, and although he has a lot of scoring methods, including the 3-point line shot, which is particularly accurate, the mid-range shot has been poor, and his career 3-point shooting percentage is 34. 8%, while the CIC is less than 30%.

However, Posey is not the kind of person who eats by mid-range shooting, his breakthrough is powerful, often breaking through the lever to complete the offense, in addition, he often plays the kind of violent dunk that is strong enough to excite the fans, and the young Posey definitely has the ability to participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

Chamberlain pulled down the rebound and threw it to Billups, taking advantage of Garnett's absence, Billups decided to attack Chamberlain's point, but he was a little conflicted. Chamberlain is not a robot, he also has physical limits, and now Garnett is resting off the court, obviously waiting to come on the court again to defeat the Warriors' interior line in one fell swoop, and Chamberlain needs to leave his physical strength to compete with him.

So apart from Chamberlain, who else can take on this big task of chasing points? Billups looked at his teammates, and if it really didn't work, he decided to take it himself.

But as soon as he scanned it, he saw West, who had a fanatical look in his eyes.

Billups' heart moved, and he quickly started to make a serpentine break, running resolutely in the direction of Ray Allen without shaking off Rondo. Junzi Lei subconsciously went up to the bag and wanted to break the ball, but at this time, the ball in Billups' hand was thrown to West.

After West got the ball, he made a move that surprised everyone in the audience, he did not take advantage of the vacancy to break through to the inside, but suddenly turned around and rushed out of the three-point line, and after taking a step, he turned around, raised his arm and flicked his wrist, and shot three points!

There were already fans who claimed to know the ball and wanted to accuse him of being brainless, but the ball spun in the air at high speed and then went headlong into the hoop.

West was still expressionless, but he inadvertently opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, hideous and terrifying.

That three-pointer was West's horn for himself to attack, and Ray Allen chose to break through from his direction, but West didn't give an inch, pushed Junzi Ray hard, ruined his shot arc, and Chamberlain picked up the rebound again.

The Warriors were fast-breaking, but the Celtics were resolute defensively, and Billups tentatively saw that Rondo was fully focused on defending and Posey was still preparing to wrap up, so he passed the ball to West, who came up to pick him up.

Don't underestimate Posey's defense, for longtime fans, when it comes to the best role players in the league, they may name Bruce Bowen, Raga Bell, Stephen Jackson, Sean Battier and many more, but there will be those who say that James Posey should be added to this list.

Posey does not have Uncle Bao's "unscrupulous means" on the defensive end, nor does he have a hob like Jackson, but with his veteran experience and accurate judgment, he can even defend a big forward 3 inches taller than him when his body is not dominant, which poses a considerable threat to the offensive players with the ball.

West started directly after getting the ball, Junzi Lei has not cared about him, for the addition of the Celtics when he traded himself with the SuperSonics, he thinks this kid can be any threat, not that he is arrogant, but that West has really not played any decent value in the league.

But there is one thing he forgets, basketball is a five-person sport, and when there are four people on the court who resist one person, that person is as strong as Jordan, and there will be no outstanding performance.

It's different now, Chamberlain, Billups, and even Jackson, who sees himself as the big brother of the Warriors, all believe in West unconditionally.

In the face of Jun Zilei's defense, West accelerated directly with his feet, and he was like a whirlwind, roaring to break through from Jun Zilei's side.

"What a speed!" Jun Zi Lei was taken aback, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly retreated, at this time it was too late, Jackson came up, just blocking Jun Zi Lei's side.

Facing Posey, who switched to his side, West was expressionless, his feet rubbed the floor hard and made a 'squeak' sound, his shoulders sank and shook vigorously, like rollerblading, the ball came from his left hand to his right hand, and his body changed direction.

Posey's speed is a weakness, especially compared to West, he moved his huge body to block West, but West's right shoulder pulled forward to the side, and the individual changed direction again, but the ball in his right hand came to his left hand strangely, and at the same time, his right shoulder pulled back his left shoulder and leaned forward, so he broke through Posey.

Chamberlain's Parsons couldn't move, and Harrington led Davis out of the restricted area, West strode into the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand and suddenly twisted his waist, rose from the ground while his body spun around quickly, and there was a 'bang' with a domineering 360-degree turn and big dunk!

This powerful dunk aroused the enthusiasm of the fans in the audience, and the tsunami-like cheers hit the court from all directions, West finally stopped being expressionless, he couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, and shouted angrily: "I'm trash? I'm **** raised? Am I crazy? Fuck you bunch of sluts, come on, come to me, throw me in the dump! ”

Chamberlain went up and hugged West, slapped him vigorously on the back and shouted in his ear: "Well done, bro, you dunk is crazy, God, this is the best dunk of the year, definitely the best dunk!" ”

Being embraced by Chamberlain, West was a little uncomfortable, no one had ever made such intimate gestures to him, because of his withdrawn personality and cannonball-like temper, he had almost no friends in the team, and no one had celebrated him on the court before, no matter how he performed.

Then Billups, Jackson and Harrington also rushed up and hugged West together, and Billups touched his head and shouted, "That's it, man, how about the next forty games?" ”

West grinned and said, "I'm afraid I'll die of exhaustion!" ”

He was startled the moment he said this, and he would joke with his teammates?

Garnett and Pierce got together, and the latter muttered under his breath, "This little madman is going crazy again, I'm going to see how crazy he gets, but seriously, fuck, if this kid starts to go crazy, it's going to be a big problem." ”

What he said is true, once the Green Shirts selected West to be Pierce's assistant, and even the team selected him in the draft, not because of Pierce's nod, so when it comes to the people who are most familiar with West in the Green Shirts, Pierce is one of them.

The ensuing attack Jackson caused Posey to break through and make a mistake, Billups dribbled the ball fast, Rondo followed close behind him, Billups rushed into the inside, but as soon as he turned around and threw the ball behind him, West, who caught up, received the ball and flew up directly like a helicopter, and his arm bent and then smashed down, and the small windmill was dunked!
