In the next few rounds, Rondo began to take over the game, constantly delivering shells to his teammates, and if it weren't for the lack of support from his teammates on the perimeter, he might have been able to brush up eight assists in the first quarter.

Bayless was tackled from behind by Rondo on a quick rundown, and Rondo had a three-on-two chance to play the ball to Gerard Wallace, who once again completed a groundbreaking dunk.

At the end of the first quarter, 26-26, both sides had good offensive performances, and there were occasional strokes of genius on the defensive end, playing back and forth.

"This Rajon Rondo doesn't seem to be easy to do, he always shows up in the right place." Bayless shouted, apparently haunted by the previous steal by Rondo.

"Hey, buddy, there's a real gap between you and him." Li Ming almost said this.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Rivers replaced Bradley and Brandon Buss, and the Grizzlies also took Arthur and Durin on the Grizzlies.

It was still Li Ming who defended Rondo, and at the moment he was clinging to the opponent.

Rondo rolled his eyes and a direct pass was stuffed into Bass's hands, but it was a pity that Bass's hesitation was blocked by Guy when he shot.

Now in the lineup on the field, Guy is in the No. 4 position, just opposite Brandon Bass.

Bass just signed a three-year 21 million contract with the Celtics, as a 05-year second-round pick, this is not easy, it is simply sky-high. Now he needs to prove himself on the court, and he is also very the defensive end, constantly competing for rebounds in the frontcourt.

In the first few rounds, both sides played very restrained, in the stage of testing each other, and after adapting to it for a while, several new players began to score points one after another.

First, Bradley on the home team's side received a pass from Rondo under the basket and cleverly wiped the board to score two points.

Immediately after that, Dulin on the Grizzlies' side scored a dunk in a quick run. It was Li Ming who passed the ball for him.

Both sides were fast, and the spectacle of the game quickly improved by two notches. The atmosphere in the stadium also started to heat up, and some fans even took off their shirts to cheer on their teams to the shouts of the live DJ.

"Hey, boy, don't always stand there, try to keep wandering and don't let your opponent see what you're trying to do." Rondo coaches Bradley while dribbling.

In the past season, due to the increase in injuries caused by the shrinking season, Rajonondo and Ray Allen have been absent for a long time, which has given Bradley, who can be competent in both the first and second positions, more opportunities. In the final month of the regular season, Bradley averaged 15 points per game and was named to the All-Defensive Second Team.

As the team's 19th pick in the first round in '09, it was precisely because of his rapid rise that the Celtics boldly let go of outside gate Tony Allen.

Li Ming on the Grizzlies' side is not far behind, and Rondo's activity has also greatly stimulated his desire to survive and perform, and he has already delivered four assists in this meeting, including two beautiful air catches with Guy.

That ball passes one more point, one less point can't get that flavor, it's so direct, so domineering.

"The moment Lee came out of the ball, the moment he shook his wrist, he couldn't come out after more than ten years of hard work." Larry Bird is very optimistic about this Chinese defender.

"Yes, especially his wide range of ground passes through the midfield, which is very skillful, and it is very demanding of power control." Shaq also knows that he has been teammates in his career with a passing master like Steve Nash and is the most vocal.

However, many point guards in the league or at other levels of the league have very poor passing, or even unnecessary mistakes, and there is no skill and tacit understanding at all.

So there is a reason why the NBA game is good-looking, and why the NBA is the highest basketball temple, and these details are the best proof.

Coming back to the game, the Celtics' offense, Rondo standing on the line dribbling, Jeff Green and Bradley interspersed back and forth at 45 degrees on both sides looking for a good opportunity to catch the ball.

Rondo stared at Bradley on the left but sent the ball to Green on the right, who eased his arms and sent the ball into the basket almost without any defense.

Rondo's pass tore through layers of defense and found Jeff Green in the best position.

"Rudy." Li Ming waved his hand on the upper line, signaling Guy to give up the space in the middle.

Arthur and Guy stood a little close, and there was a small vacuum behind the basket, which was not the best for passing, and it was easy for the opponent's small man to slip in and cut the ball of his own center.

It is best for the receiver to have a small angle of space to pass the ball, so that even if they can't shoot at the first time, they still have the opportunity to accelerate again to deliver shells to their teammates.

After Li Ming glanced at Guy, he suddenly turned around and cut in, the speed of the ball breakthrough was not fast, but the footsteps were very large, and he just leaned on Rondo's body and threw the ball at the same time.

Arthur under the basket jumped high after a clever turn, and also came to a slam dunk that split Huashan, the young man vented his emotions well, jumped excitedly and ran back to the frontcourt, and kept chanting words in his mouth.

"This No. 7 is a bit of a surprise, why haven't I seen it before, it was selected by the Grizzlies this year?" A slightly bloated middle-aged man in the crowd asked.

"Oh, come on, it can't be a new selection, maybe it was poached from a certain league." The other one wears a green hat with the big logo of the home team, yes, you read that right, it is indeed green. Don't say it, it's quite energetic to look at.

Wallace and Bradley also scored consecutive points under the basket, and the offense of both sides was smooth, fluent like mercury, and the cheers of the home court overshadowed the waves.

With Jeff Green's outside three-pointer, the score came to 36-41, and the Celtics at home led by five points.

Coach Hollins on the sidelines made a pause gesture.

"I played well, children, I played very well, you made me see the hard work of not admitting defeat, I saw the seriousness, and I played very well." In a rare move, Hollins didn't get angry, but instead calmed the emotions of the players on the field.

It seems that the back-to-back games, the players consume a lot, and this timeout is purely to let everyone take a breather, come to a small rotation, and disrupt the Celtics' offensive rhythm, which will make the opponent play smoothly under the tandem of Rajon Rondo.
