Chapter 120: Back-to-Back Schedule

At the post-game press conference, Coach Hollins affirmed the performance of his disciples, especially Li Ming, who had 27 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds, and Guy, who had 21 points and 13 rebounds.

Although Guy couldn't keep up with Anthony in the final round, it was clear that Hollins was still happy with Guy's performance tonight, and it was just a regular season game.

As long as he can focus as much as he does every night in the future, then the pair of masters and apprentices will not have the same problems as the newspapers outside.

In the press conference, Guy was unusually quiet, but Li Ming picked up a lot of topics and talked eloquently.

"First of all, the Knicks are a great team, the people here love basketball, they love their team, they're great, they deserve any win." His answer was praised by almost every person and corner of the city.

On the bus back to the hotel, Li Ming even took the initiative to tell Guy a joke to make him happy. Guy still looked sullen, though.

"Hi buddy, what's wrong? Don't do that, that ball is just luck, it's a big deal I'll play it back with you next time. Li Ming was referring to the fact that the Knicks were going to the home court of Memphis in February.

'I felt like I could defend him and I had a chance to get to that position and I just thought Amare would be there to catch the ball when he came up.' What Guy didn't expect was that Anthony didn't choose to receive the ball in that position.

Instead, he used that moment to get to the other side, and the ball passed to him after it passed through Kidd's hand. This was a problem with his prediction.

"Rudy, try my new headphones." Randolph took over the conversation, and he was obviously concerned about his friend's emotions, but he was as clumsy as he didn't know how to comfort others.

Guy patted his head, pulled a bottle of water out of a casual bag, and drank it.

"What's next for Jeff Green?" He asked abruptly.

"yes, he's got a lot of athleticism, you're from the same year, right?" Randolph asked.

"Hmph, I played him in college, and he does have two brushes, but it's not quite as good as Cameron." I think the first thing he wants to say should be compared to himself!!

The Jeff Green, a superpower forward at Georgetown University, was picked by the Celtics with the fifth pick in the first round in 2007, but was immediately sent to the West as a bargaining chip for Ray Allen in that big trade with the SuperSonics. He has a high basketball IQ and amazing athleticism.

And the offensive means are very rich, both with their backs to the basket and in front of the basket. The confrontation is very good, with the offensive skills of a power forward and a good ability to mark from the outside. The passing vision is clear, and the shooting ability, especially the mid-to-long-range jumper, has been improving.

The scariest thing is that he can control the ball or play in the low post, and he defends well on the wings; However, the shortcomings can also be obvious, through Li Ming's magic pupil system, it is deliberately clear that his shooting is unstable, lacks signature skills, and his aggression comes and goes, and he can't defend the power forward.

In 2011, he was diagnosed with a heart problem, and subsequently underwent surgery, which was reimbursed for the season. After heart surgery, he was actively involved in rehabilitation and recovered quickly according to the doctor's instructions, and now he is able to adapt to the intensity of the game, which is a very resilient player.

It looks like Guy is going to face another tough battle.

"Their current guard is the former Magic's Courter Lee, right?" I don't know who asked.

Yes, it was the player who didn't score in the final minute of Game 6 of the Finals and gave the victory to the Lakers.

This is a swingman who is fierce defensively, and he is in the same category as Tony Allen.

However, Garnett, the team's big center, is a year older, and although he still averages 17.4 points and 9 rebounds per game, his attendance rate has been a new low in recent seasons.

His right knee and elbow are both an issue, and the team's starting attacking guard is likely to be Jason Terry, who just got traded.

Despite his age, Terry's style of play keeps him physically active, with a high attendance rate and a constant presence in games, making him a player that the coach trusts.

"I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with Terry." Durin, who was in the front row, joined the discussion, and the atmosphere in the carriage began to clear up a little, and everyone was no longer frustrated by the previous defeat.

They are all confidently engaged in the preparation of the next game.

"Rajon Rondo's rebounding and defense is pretty much the best in the No. 1 position, outside of Kidd." Tony Allen looked at Bayless and Li Ming.

"Well, yes, he's a player who plays with his brain, and his passing is ghostly, so it's hard to judge." Kenyandurin looks like he admires Rondo.

Rondo led the University of Kentucky to multiple victories, including whistle-blowing games against the University of Louisville and the University of Central Florida, but Rondo failed to advance to the NCAA Final Four during his freshman and sophomore years, and he was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Rookie Team. As a freshman, he recorded a national record of 87 steals in a single season.

It is worth mentioning that Cousins, who later shined with the Kings, was his teammate during his time in Kentucky.

In the past season, Rondo scored 24 consecutive assists in the regular season, with a career-high 52.5% assist success rate, an average of 1.3 points per game, and an average of 11.9 points, 11.7 assists, and 4.8 rebounds in 36.9 minutes per game at the end of the season, which is a very scary statistic, and even many media compare him with Jason Kidd.

Rondo is at home in the Celtics system, and his perimeter defense can even be compared to the likes of Ray Allen. His keen sense of smell allows him to predict almost every defensive alignment and rebound landing.

As a short point guard, he often grabs a dozen rebounds or even 20 rebounds in a game.

In the 2010-2011 season, Rondo provided 17 assists in his first game. A career-high 24 assists in the game against the New York Knicks, another 17 assists in the game against the Detroit Pistons, and a new NBA record of 67 assists in the first four games. This is an astonishing statistic that has never been seen before or since, and it has made the whole league look sideways.

"But he's got a poor shot from the outside, almost none." Bayless added. Rondo and Terry are the two they will be facing off, so they are especially careful about their news.

Although Rondo's big hands are good at controlling the ball, his shooting is really poor, and some coaches even say that his shooting is not improving, but this cannot hide his talent and sense of smell in the organization.

And the most terrifying thing about the Celtics is that they have championship coach Doc Rivers in charge, which determines that their lower limit will not be too bad, as long as Nu strives to reach the division finals, it is still very possible, and even the Eastern Conference finals are unknown.
