The camera lenses of the media reporters naturally follow the players in the field.

Today is the first time for Tian Ye to personally experience the atmosphere of the NBA scene as a spectator, but he still understood the intention of martial arts at the first time.

After secretly thanking Takemichi who was sitting on top of the rest area, Tian Ye quickly calmed down, listening to the cheers of the surrounding audience while quietly waiting for the game to start.

On the Celtic side, the starting line-up didn't change much from the previous day's practice game.

In addition to Antoine Walker, who was the core of the team, the rest of the players were Walter McCarty (208cm/104kg, 19th pick in the first round in 1996), Chauncey Billups (191cm/92kg, 3rd pick in the first round in 1997), Bruce Bowen and Andrew De Klerk (208cm/104kg, 5th pick in the second round in 1995).

On the Timberwolves side, in addition to Garnett, Takemichi, Marbury, and Tom, the team's starting center came up with Ben Wallace.

The main reason why Coach Philip chose to put Wallace on the court today is because the average height of the Celtics is not too high.

The opponent's current lineup is actually not comparable to the Timberwolves in terms of height. And the Celtics' Andrew De Klerk is not strong in personal strength, as a 95-year second-round pick, Andrew De Klerk was used as a substitute in the first two years of his career during the Warriors.

And the Celtics will be mentioned to the starting position, and it is only used as a "consumable", that is, to consume the physical strength of the opponent's main players, and Coach Rick Pitino of the Celtics actually has no expectations for Andrew De Klerk at all.

Such an opponent is just right for Wallace at this stage

Coach Philip hopes that Wallace can develop confidence in the game against the opposition.

With the sound of the buzzer, the players of both sides began to enter, and the player opposite the martial arts at the beginning was not Antoine Walker, the "big boss" of the Celtics, but the "thin" Bowen.

Wu Dao glanced at the defenders who were shorter and thinner than him, and couldn't help but glance sideways in Tom's direction, and realized in his heart.

He probably knew what the Celtics were up to.

In this era, basketball is actually very popular with the basketball style of "soldier to soldier" and "general to general".

In short, let the arrow players in your team be responsible for dealing with the arrow players on the opposing team.

This kind of drama of big bosses vs. big bosses is what many viewers like to watch.

It's just that in such an environment, there are many, many exceptions. If the team wants to win as soon as they enter the goal, they will inevitably change their skills and tactics.

The Celtics had no intention of using Antoine Walker to guard the martial arts.

It's clear that Coach Rick Pitino's intention is to get Walker to focus on the offensive end and on the defensive end with as little energy as possible.

The "dirty work" of defending the opponent's arrow characters can be left to others to do.

This is a technical and tactical arrangement, and it was temporarily adjusted a few days ago.

As for why?

That's because Rick Pitino watched the Bulls and Timberwolves game. Rick Pitino has personally seen the outstanding performance of martial arts when he is against Jordan, and he will make such an arrangement, thinking from the bottom of his heart that this disciple of his may not be able to beat the young man of the Timberwolves.

Because of this, he had to find a way to avoid a head-to-head confrontation between Walker and Takemi. In the game against the Timberwolves, their Celtics have little chance of winning, and if Walker wins in the matchup with Wudao, it will naturally be a good thing.

But if you lose, the team's confidence will be a huge blow, which will be very bad for the rest of the game.

The regular season schedule is very "wasteful", and sometimes teams have to learn to make trade-offs and give up some of the games that can be waived.

"Beep-"

In the middle of the court, the referee threw the ball into the air after a whistle, and Ben Wallace, who was athletic, quickly clicked under the basketball before his opponent and turned the ball back to the backcourt.

Marbury received the ball, and the Timberwolves began to press towards the Celtics.

The team's first attack, of course, will give martial arts, and the team's ace has a good or bad hand, which will determine what kind of play the team needs to use to fight the opponent today.

Basketball started, Wu Dao dribbled with the ball and approached the three-point line in two steps, slightly lowered his head and glanced at Bao Wen, who was leaning over in front of him to defend and full of vigilance, Wu Dao did not have any bells and whistles, just pulled out his hand, but the action of Wu Dao's shot was more or less deformed in Bowen's opinion.

The spectators watching the ball around saw that Wu Dao took two steps and directly pulled out their hands, and they were also stunned at the moment, and there were bursts of low shouts from the stands.

Everyone looked up at the basketball in mid-air, and everyone didn't notice that Garnett had already taken advantage of the opponent's distraction to kill the basket.

It's not a shot, it's a pass!

Garnett has been teammates with Takedo for a long time, and he knows Takedo's projection skills well, and Takedo's years of training have allowed him to maintain a relatively good shooting posture even in the face of serious imbalance.

A projection posture like Takemichi's "deformation" just now would not have been possible in such a situation.

The basketball began to fall, and as Garnett expected, the arc of the basketball was not towards the basket at all!

Garnett, who cut into the basket, jumped to the basket, grabbed the basketball in mid-air, and then poured the ball into the basket.

"Bang Dang!!"

A beautiful air split dunk fired the first shot of the half-game.

Wu Dao saw Garnett score smoothly, and deliberately slowed down, and high-fived Garnett when Garnett returned to the defense, and also praised: "Not bad, I didn't waste my wonderful pass." ”

"Your ugly pass, I beg you to pass less."

"That's me, others can't keep up at all."

Garnett high-fived Martial Arts and pretended to complain. He had just completed the empty split, and he was still quite happy in his heart, the exclamations of the surrounding audience, and the shutter sound of the cameras in the hands of the media reporters, all of which made his blood boil.

"Really?"

Wu Dao smiled and quickly turned around to defend.

The Celtics launched a counterattack, and after Walker received the ball in the middle distance, he directly started digging in the face of Tom, using his "absolute" talent and starting speed to eat Tom and hit the basket, and then forced the shot under the defense of Wallace and Garnett.

Walker's impact is absolutely undoubted, but Garnett and Wallace's defensive ability is also quite good.

Walker's high board was interfered with by the Timberwolves' defense, and the basketball bounced back to the basket and hit the side of the basket directly on the rim and bounced out of the basket.

Under the basket, Garnett and Wallace quickly occupied the position of grabbing the board, and finally the rebound was also held by Wallace, and Wallace, who grabbed the rebound, did not hesitate at all, and quickly passed the ball to Wu Dao, who entered the guard under the basket.

"Attack!"

As soon as Takeshi received the ball, he quickly got off the ball and advanced, and at the same time greeted the players. It's just that the Celtics' reaction speed is also very fast, the average height of their team is not high, and all the players in the team can run, and they quickly complete the defensive position.

And Wu Daojian didn't have a chance to play a fast attack, just after the halfway line, he gave the ball to Marbury and asked Marbury to sort out the team's offense.

After the ball, Wu Dao also slipped the bottom line into the basket, although Bowen who defended him had the intention to block, but Wu Dao, who was without the ball, changed direction two times in a row, crossed Bowen, seized the position, and at the same time used his big weight to quickly turn his back to the ball in the low position.

Dealing with Bowen, who is a cut behind him in height and weight, Wu Dao does not intend to use the high-post singles that he is best at, but chooses the low-post singles that he is best at.

This operation is inspired by Jordan.

Admittedly, he has a strong three-point ability, combined with excellent individual skills, and when Takeshi receives the ball near the three-point line, the threat is quite terrifying.

However, just because there is a threat in receiving the ball outside the three-point line does not mean that there is no threat when Budo receives the ball in the low post.

In fact, Wu Dao also has a certain dominance in the low position, his footwork is not bad, and his basket carrying skills are also quite strong.

Facing Bowen, who is inferior to himself in height and weight, as long as the martial arts who receives the ball in the low post does not face the bag, he is invincible.

And the most important thing is that Garnett has the ability to shoot, he can pull out the inside line to make space, give Takedo one more passing option, and at the same time, he can also give Takedo plenty of space to play.

If Martial Arts' inner teammate is O'Neal, Martial Arts will never use such a style of play, which will compress O'Neal's space too much.

Wu Dao used to be too accustomed to the squatting type of inside core, but now that I think about it, they Timberwolves actually have a lot of offensive possibilities to try.

"Smack!!"

The basketball hit the ground and was smoothly given to the hands of Wu Dao, who started with the basketball, moved his left foot back, raised the ball over his chest, and at the same time turned his head slightly sideways, squinting at Bowen.

At this time, Bowen's center of gravity dropped slightly, and he was staggering his hands against the body of the martial arts, as if he was ready to resist the impact of the martial arts.

Once the ball was blown up, Wu Dao butt was topped, and Bowen was directly taken a step back, and a big gap came out, and Wu Dao, who received the ball on the right side of the court, also turned his back to the basket, turned his back to the right side, and then threw a backward jumper.

The basketball went straight over Bowen's head and landed firmly into the basket with a crisp sound.

4:0。

The Timberwolves scored easily, and the difference between the two teams was also stretched to 4 points.

And in these two rounds of attack, Wu Dao also used his own performance to set the tone for the team's offensive method.

Focus on the near basket point 1-3 feet away from the basket.

The Celtics' outside players are actually quite good, but the Celtics' interior line has been a little stretched, compared to the combination of Garnett and Ben Wallace, the Celtics' interior lineup can be said to be dim.

In the face of such an opponent, of course, it is necessary to grasp the opponent's weakness and slam it.

In today's league, how to give the ball to an interior player is actually a science.

It's just that things like this are not a problem at all in the Timberwolves. Garnett's characteristics make him a threat when receiving the ball in many positions.

The existence of martial arts is also a bag that can attract Celtics players to the greatest extent, and this strong sense of presence also gives the other players of the Timberwolves a lot of opportunities to shoot in empty positions.

After two quarters, the Timberwolves led the opponent by 15 points at 56:41, and Garnett got a lot of opportunities today, only playing two quarters, he has already got 21 points and 8 rebounds, and the statistics are very good.

On the martial arts side, only "hastily" scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 1 steal in the two quarters.

Marbury, Tom and Big Ben all scored to varying degrees, and there was not much suspense in the eyes of the audience.

The Celtics didn't fall behind because the players didn't feel good, simply because they were defended too hard by the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves' basket is simply blocked by the Timberwolves, and any Celtics player who wants to attack the basket will face Garnett and Wallace to help defend them.

Two spring monsters, the threat is too great.

This made it extremely difficult for the Celtics to shoot inside, and every time the Celtics players attacked the basket, Boston's home fans watched with great worry.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves' offense is like mercury pouring into the ground, not to mention the discipline and fluency, and more importantly, the martial arts that stand in the low position are simply unpopular. In the two quarters of the game, the Timberwolves played very calmly, and in the eyes of the audience, they played very easily.

"Completely, it's a two-level team!"

"It's really a treasure for the wolf tube, why didn't I find out back then!"

In the Celtics bench on the sidelines, Coach Rick Pitino has seen the gap between his team and the Timberwolves. While feeling emotion in his heart, he also secretly regretted that he didn't see the potential of martial arts back then.

It's just that this is just Rick Pitino's "afterthought", the physical test report of the martial arts that year, the scouts of each team have it, and the video and data of the high school game can also be checked.

When Rick Pitino was drafted, he didn't look down on the yellow man in the martial arts at all.

As the regular season progresses, the Timberwolves are getting better and better.

Since the game against the Bulls, Takedo has gained great prestige, and while his position on the team has been completely solidified, he has also increased the number of passes during the game. And the changes brought to the team by the transformation of martial arts on the field are quite intuitive.

The Timberwolves are being blended into a rope by martial arts.

There are no contradictions and hidden dangers in the wolf pack, and the efficiency of hunting will naturally increase significantly!

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves went into the rotation, leaving only Tom as a starter on the court.

He had relatively little ball in the first two quarters and still had room in terms of fitness.

On the Celtics side, although the situation is critical, they have no intention of giving up, and the main force is all in the third quarter, and the Timberwolves have broken back the 10-point difference.

It was only in the fourth quarter that the Timberwolves saw that the Celtics did not disarm, and the main players also returned to the court.

And Wu Dao also completely "restored his nature" in the fourth quarter, and scored 18 points in a single quarter to harvest the game.

In the end, the Timberwolves won the game 104-88.

At the same time, the appearance of martial arts scoring wantonly on the Celtics' heads in the fourth quarter is also deeply engraved in the hearts of Boston fans.
