Chapter 44
"You owe a lot to the revival of the Celts!"
"Mr. Auerbach, mainly the players, and Mr. Angie are good traders."
Anji was still on the side at this time, and Chu Xuan naturally wanted to be modest.
The cardinal shook his head and said, "I know Anji's level, and I have also seen your star-studded, and I am indeed very thoughtful." ”
"I'm here today to see how brilliant you are."
"It's hard to come to North Shore Gardens once when you're old, you're not going to let me watch you lose, are you?"
Hearing the cardinal's slightly ridiculous voice, Chu Xuan immediately made a guarantee.
"I let Mr. Auerbach see a victory!"
The cardinal nodded, and Chu Xuan didn't continue to chat with the cardinal.
Because, the game is about to begin.
"Audience friends, Cardinal Auerbach has appeared in the North Shore Gardens!"
"We can now see Auerbach on the big screen."
"And you can hear the cheers in the North Shore Gardens!"
Smith, who was commentator at the scene, did not expect that Auerbach would appear in the North Shore Gardens.
Barkley was also surprised: "The reappearance of the cardinal, who has not appeared in the public eye for a long time, will it be to revive the Celts?" ”
"If it's Auerbach out of the mountains......"
Smith couldn't talk anymore halfway through.
He and Barkley knew very well what would happen if Auerbach was out of the mountains.
Second Rotation First Round.
Ordinary players for All-Star players.
This is all the operation of the cardinals of yesteryear.
For the disciple-filled cardinal.
can sweep NBA teams, and the general manager gives the green light.
The NCAA league can be swept under it.
A man who plays the NBA as a private suit in the real sense.
If it weren't for meeting Stern, this game planner.
Now the NBA will still be the world of the Celtics.
"Kenny, if Cardinal comes out of the mountain, do you think he's eyeing Garnett?"
"Impossible, right? The Timberwolves won't let ......"
Smith was halfway through his speech when he suddenly remembered.
McHale, the general manager of the Timberwolves, is the Celtics!
And that's what Cardinals do best!
However, at this time, the two of them can't be allowed to think too much, because the game has already begun.
Timberwolves' starting lineup: Center Michael. Olowo Kandi, power forward Garnett, small forward Trenton. Hassell, scoring guard maniac, point guard alien.
Celtics' starting lineup: center Oku, power forward Rashid, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Raga. Bell, point guard Marbury.
With Oku's jump ball successful, Marbury began to organize the offense.
As soon as the Celtics came up, they put on a star-studded position.
All five were outside the three-point line.
Marbury looked at the opposing aliens and directly chose to break through.
The aliens' defense is not good.
He doesn't have a good one-on-one defense and poor individual defensive stats.
However, it is possible to assist the team in defending with good experience.
After Marbury passes the aliens, he then meets Garnett, who is recovering the aliens.
The aliens' defense couldn't be better.
As long as Garnett helps wipe his butt, everything is fine.
Marbury and Garnett, two former friends, came directly to a head-to-head showdown!
Marbury was under the basket and faced Garnett for an aerial folding pull-up layup.
But Garnett's response was also quick.
Syllable!
Garnett directly hat Marbury.
Chu Xuan was not surprised, after all, Garnett this year.
In terms of influence on the field alone.
Probably still above Duncan!
It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, and the aliens began to beat Marbury in the middle range.
The alien is a master of backs.
After hitting Marbury in the back, he turned over directly and shot from mid-distance.
Swish!
The aliens hit a mid-range shot to give the Timberwolves the lead.
Marbury, who knew that he was very tough, did not choose to continue to kill the basket this time.
After breaking through the aliens.
Emergency stop.
Then shoot straight from mid-range.
Swish!
The basketball hollow into the net, the score is tied 2:2.
The next game can be called a battle of iron.
The Timberwolves' defensive system is more tricky than the Spurs at the moment!
Garnett, the historical co-defense monster, will not be mentioned.
The Mad Guys are also players who have been named to the All-Defensive Second Team.
Renton. Hassel averages only 5 points per game, but he can play as a starting small forward because of his defense.
The entire Timberwolves, except for the aliens' defensive handicap.
There are basically no problems.
Even the center nicknamed 'Sugar Man' Michael. Olovo Kandi is not a weakness of the Timberwolves.
Sugar Man is the top pick in '98, and his athleticism is much stronger than that of the average blue-collar center.
Generally, blue-collar centers often can't keep up with Oku's speed due to their slow lateral movement.
As a result, Oku can easily complete the shot.
But Sugar Man's athleticism is what determines Oku, who can't easily shake off the other party.
The defensive system of Sanders, the godfather of the Timberwolves, is also based on joint defense.
It also did a good job of limiting the Celtics' offense.
Oku also wanted to use the pick-and-roll to complete the shot, but the Timberwolves players were quick to switch defenses.
Don't give Oku room to shoot at all.
After several outside blocks and pick-and-rolls, the madman followed Renton. Hassel was all directly attached to Oku's body.
"Garnett is really a nuisance!"
Chu Xuan looked at Garnett, who seemed to be everywhere on the field, and gave an evaluation in his heart.
The Timberwolves' defense is very targeted.
Anti-throwing is not anti-outburst.
But once the Celtics break through, they will encounter Garnett's all-time level of co-defense.
In this way, it will be very difficult to play in the middle distance.
And not everybody has the kind of passing that Marbury or Pierce does.
Unable to pass the ball when encountering a bag is also a problem for Celtic.
On the other hand, the Timberwolves also hit the iron frequently on the offensive end.
