Yu Fei wanted to find Reed's misalignment, but it wasn't easy.

Because avoiding playing the wrong game is part of the Celtics' game plan. As long as Yu Fei calls for pick-and-roll, Reed will not participate in the change of defense and assistance, and the only thing he needs to keep an eye on is Roy. If Roy goes to block Yu Fei, he will trap Yu Fei when necessary, but he will not change guards.

This made Yu Fei unable to hit Reed at the first time.

And the Celtic offensive seems to be showing signs of recovery under Kassel's control. Unlike the young Rondo, Cassel is well aware that although the team has an advantage on the inside, if you don't get every point to work, the attack will be difficult.

What the Celtics didn't expect, however, was that their most reliable interior line slowly began to have problems.

Bill Simmons picks Kevin Garnett as the MVP of the season in his annual column "Who is the MVP". But in reality, Garnett didn't even score in the top three MVPs. But that doesn't affect Simmons' views in the slightest.

Simmons said Garnett "played every preseason game like Game 7 of the Finals," which was both a compliment to Garnett and in a way a disparagement to him.

A person who only knows how to show off and will not be restrained is dynamite when it doesn't go his way.

Yu Fei's so-called Celtics' away winless remarks a few days ago seriously stimulated the nerves of the Green Army's soldiers, as the position with the biggest book advantage of the Green Army, Garnett wants to play an advantage on the inside.

But at the beginning, Marion's tough defense made him lose his crosshairs, and although the shooting rate was not low, the consumption was too great.

What Garnett didn't expect was that the weak supersonic interior would take the initiative to attack him.

Yu Fei took the ball high to attract the defense, and then suddenly passed the ball horizontally to Kwame Brown's hands. Brown attacks the basket and draws a foul on Garnett.

"Just fight like this!" Yu Fei loudly cheered up his good brother.

Brown was also really full of confidence, his sexy little hands clenched into fists, beating his chest hard like Garnett, and muttering the words "You can't stop me".

Garnett was furious, this kind of thing is just a big fly, why is Kwame Brown?

There's no second guy in the league who plays the Garnett way, and he doesn't just play the preseason as if it's the Finals, even when he's sitting on the sidelines during garbage time, he's excitedly cheering on his teammates on the sidelines as if it were a scorching game. In this sense, Garnett really fits the Celtic culture, but it is this energy that has nowhere to be placed that makes him an unstable force when he doesn't play well.

He angrily approached Brown and turned his back to the position, but the result was ironic.

He looked so angry, and the face that said "Lao Tzu is the best guy in the world" gave his teammates endless confidence, and Bill Simmons, who was on the scene, expected him to blow up the supersonic interior line and then pass the ball to his hands.

He should have understood that he would need to rush to the basket if he wanted to break his opponent's confidence, but his choice was to resist and then roll over for a jumper.

"Damn it, no! KG, don't shoot! ”

Simmons exclaimed.

Garnett misses a shot, but the rebound falls to David Lee, who completes the second offense.

Garnett's energy started to turn negative, he wasn't happy with his performance, he wanted to save the day, so he put more effort into the defensive end, which in turn increased his foul risk.

Yu Fei, who couldn't find Reed to settle the score, had to continue to stimulate the Celtics' defense, and he suddenly attacked in the high post, but passed the ball to Marion in the paint area.

Marion lunged in and bumped into Garnett's body as the referee's whistle blew, his second foul in a few minutes.

Just over halfway through the first quarter, Garnett's foul count forced the Celtics to substitute him.

"Kevin!" Rivers slapped Garnett on the shoulder and poured chicken soup into it, "Never doubt yourself!" ”

Garnett gritted his teeth reluctantly and nodded vigorously.

Having said that, the score on the court has come to 22-9.

SuperSonics are stronger than the last one.

Celtic's performances continue to reinforce the impression that they won't play on the road.

Garnett, who was brave at home, had no effect on flying in the away game, and he couldn't even play inside in the second game.

The Celtics replaced Garnett with Kendrick Perkins, and the intensity of the interior plummeted, and the Celtics had to rely on the perimeter.

Pierce struggled to turn around under Yu Fei's defense, straightened his waist, and scored on a rebound in an unbalanced state.

He was very frustrated because Yu Fei is a player who doesn't like to jump up and defend, he is hardly fooled easily, and he has advantages in terms of height, reach, and physical fitness. If he wants to score on the opponent, he must use his body to block Yu Fei and then find an opportunity to attack the basket, otherwise, even if he succeeds in getting rid of the opponent, he is likely to be blocked by the opponent.

"That's how you're going to get me to eat the words?"

Shortly after Pierce scored that goal, Yu Fei dribbled in front of him, shook Pierce away with a ferocious change of direction, rushed into the basket and forced a dunk on top of Perkins' head, causing the opponent to foul.

It's a disadvantage that makes the Bostonian in front of the TV feel familiar.

Back in the East, Celtic wouldn't have played away.

Whether it is against the Hawks in the first round or playing Magic in the semifinals, as long as they go to the away side, these people seem to have been mechanically descended, and their fighting spirit, combat power, and desire are far inferior to when they are fighting at home.

This is the time to test the coaching staff.

But unfortunately, the head coach of the Celtics is Rivers.

With the Celtics defensively guided by a detail maniac like Thibodeau, and two excellent point guards on the offensive end, Rondo and Cassel to guide a group of veterans, Rivers usually just needs to stabilize their mentality.

But there are too many variables in the playoffs.

Especially tonight, Garnett blew himself up first, and then Pierce was firmly suppressed by Yu Fei, and Reed, who seemed to be online, couldn't get the ball on the offensive end, and had to avoid Yu Fei on the defensive end.

This is a lot weaker in terms of momentum.

At the end of the first quarter, the SuperSonics led the Celtics 35-21.

"We have to keep our minds down and keep fighting!" Rivers exclaimed during the break, "You're all years of veterans, you're more experienced than the Hypersonics, forget about the first quarter and think about how we played at home!" ”

Finally, he looked at Garnett, and the strongest player on the team had to cheer up: "KG, you know, I will always stand with you!" ”

If the opponent is someone else, George Carr will be worried about the Celtics suddenly changing formations, such as putting Cassel in control, with three shooters, and then letting Garnett play center.

That would fit perfectly into the three-point whirlwind that the Bucks are blowing in the league.

But the opponent is the Celtics, and their head coach is Rivers, a man who has been looked down upon by Karl since his debut, completely showing the weakness of a man who has never received any professional coaching training.

He has a problematic judgment of the situation, a lack of grasp of details, and even if he has a comprehensive squad depth, he does not have the courage to make a big change on the spot.

In Karl's eyes, Rivers doesn't have the qualities of a professional coach, but he's a great motivator who can get players to work for him in a few words, but if you want him to solve the problem, all he can do is "I'll stand with you".

Therefore, Karl's determination is not just to win his three home games, but most importantly to complete the internal mental construction within the three home games. Young players have to grow in a few games, not only to recognise that they are playing in the Finals, but also to believe that they can make a difference in the Finals.

Don't be a vassal of Frye, be Frye's helper, this is something they must understand.

And the home stadium is the best place to awaken this awareness.

But to make them realize, they still need Yu Fei's guidance.

Carl looked at Yu Fei and asked, "Do you need to rest?" ”

"KG is coming back, I can't rest." Yu Fei said, "Moreover, the advantage is not big enough. ”

Carl nodded, and the SuperSonics' lineup at the beginning of the second quarter was clear: Yu Fei, Durant, Childis, Posey and Brown.

It belongs to the lineup of three old and two new.

The Celtics are much more solid, with Garnett returning, Reid continuing to play, and the other three positions being Rondomatt Barnes and PJ Brown.

Yu Fei plays point guard in this lineup, but the Celtics can't let Rondo come to play against him.

Barnes came to the top of the arc and opened his hands, but Yu Fei was not interested in him and directly called Durant to block and dismantle.

Durant's low shooting percentage in the finals led Reed to think it was an opportunity to fly in the air.

He and Barnes tacitly moved, and suddenly stepped forward to force Yu Fei to stop.

As a result, Yu Fei passed the ball decisively.

Durant shoots in the open space and hits.

Now Durant doesn't have any psychological burden, the team is leading by a big score, and Yu Fei also attracts defensive pressure, which is his best comfort zone.

And Yu Fei didn't forget to taunt Reed: "Why do you ignore us like a bastard? Didn't you know he was the first pick last year? ”

"So what?" Reed asked coldly.

"It probably won't be like that now." Yu Fei never glanced at Durant, but his words made the latter tremble with excitement, "But in a few years, you may not even have the qualifications to stand in front of him." ”

The margin has reached 16 points, and the Celtics' coaching staff can't afford to ignore it.

Rondo then forced Childres' defence and, as tactically customary, passed the ball outside.

Normally, Reed is in that position.

But suddenly, Rondo's eyes widened when he saw a long arm suddenly blocking the passing route.

In an instant, the ball fell into the opponent's hand.

"Good pass!"

Yu Fei left a sarcastic word and moved forward at full speed.

Reed struggled to catch up, trying to stop Yu Fei in the middle of the road, he forgot about the physical difference between the two, although his speed was okay, his body couldn't withstand a hit.

Thinking of the humiliation he had received because of Yu Fei, and what Yu Fei had just said at Durant, he was furious.

Reed's glass heart shatters, and he wants to kill the glass-hearted arsonist in front of him.

However, when Reed stands in front of him, it will also be when his defense is shattered. Yu Fei stepped into his defensive position like a fly, and in the blink of an eye, the inertial impact of his elbow, the natural impact of his body made Reed be knocked away, he felt a sharp pain that made people unable to breathe, and then he lost his defensive ability, and soon heard a piercing dunk.

“！ #@￥@#！ %￥”

The key arena was getting noisy, and the 18-point deficit left the Celtics coaching staff in a mess, and the only thing they could do was call a timeout.

Reed struggled to get up, still sore from the bumper.

"I suddenly feel like I made the right decision to trade you." When Reed decides to become Yu Fei's enemy, Yu Fei doesn't have any old feelings for him. "So I should probably thank you because of your departure, we have completed four championships in five years."

Reed said angrily, "Shut up, I don't want to have anything to do with this at all!" ”

"No, no, you have to play your part." Yu Fei walked past Reed, "Whether I can win five championships in six years is up to you, Michael." ”

Michael Reed has a good name.

Every time Yu Fei called him Michael, he became more hostile to Reed.

It's wonderful.
