The Godfather of Basketball

Angie has his reason for confidence.

After the trade came to Kemba Walker, the Celtics' starting lineup on paper, Walker + Brown + Hayward + Tatum + Horford is not a virtual Nets, this does not include Ssi, who is sitting on the bench. Matt, Marcus Morris, Aaron Baines and Zhou Qi.

They have all the capital to play against the Nets.

Of course, Tang Tian also paid more attention to this series. Stevens' system is very similar to him, and it is stronger in terms of defensive aggression. The fight with them belongs to the typical type of immortality that must be peeled. .

The first two games of the series will start in Brooklyn, and New York fans are crazy.

This season the Nets played a record high in team history, and their expectations of the team are naturally higher.

Although the Celtics are good, what they want to see is the home team pressing the opponent on the ground for a while.

On May 1, US time, three days after the Celtics and Bucks series ended, the Nets and Celtics' second round officially started at the Barclays Center.

There are crowds in the stadium, many stars are on the sidelines, and many are from China.

As the Nets become the league's giants, their influence is also growing, and because of the possession of Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian, they have also become the Chinese home team after the Rockets and Cavaliers.

After the opening ceremony at the scene, the starting lineups of both sides appeared one after another.

Both sides are regular lineups.

In the cheers of the audience, Jokic jumped over Horford and got the opportunity to lead the team.

Irving pushed the ball into the frontcourt, and just gave the ball to Jokic, Tatum's double-team came over.

Jokic wanted to pass, Tatum retracted, but it was not fully retracted, stuck on the line he passed.

Stevens' defensive system combines Cole and Spoelstra. It is not a firm double-team every time. It is not an infinite change. Instead, it uses a tactical position to break the pass and wait for the opportunity. .

This defensive system requires that each player must accurately appear in a predetermined defensive position, and requires high tactical quality of the players, which is also a characteristic of this Celtic team.

However, the Nets' tactical literacy is not bad. After Jokic held the ball, Anthony and George have begun to make screens for Irving and Butler, and then ran back-cuts.

The Celtics players are running back and forth, as if weaving an invisible spider web, and the Nets players are like a pair of scissors, constantly tearing this line of defense.

At this time, the player's personal ability gap is reflected.

Walker, Brown, Tatum, and even Hayward are all very good defensive players, but they are also limited to good ones. The defensive system gives them an overall bonus, but they still suffer when the situation is one-on-one.

Jokic threw the ball to George who ran out of the three-point line. George threw it to Owen, who cut in the middle. Owen accelerated against Walker and shot before the weak side defense was in place.

Cheers rose from the scene.

The Celtics are defensively strong, but the Blue Nets are still attacking, and they are clearly more dominant in the battle between spears and shields.

Walker held the ball to the frontcourt, and the Celtics also started to attack.

Compared with the defense, their offense is a lot worse, more relying on strong points to break through, defensive points to attack.

Horford pulled the ball out of the basket, and Walker and Tatum rushed in after holding the ball.

This is a breakthrough aimed at Anthony.

However, after Anthony's knee injury recovered, his mobility was not bad.

And almost as soon as Walker finished blocking, George came directly to defend from the weak side, and Jokic also moved toward Hayward at the same time, leaving Horford outside the three-point line.

Walker passed the ball to Horford with a shake of his hand.

Horford was blocked before he took the shot, and George didn't panic. He held the ball for a while and reorganized Walker.

The Celtics continued to run for positions, and George and Jokic moved the defenders back after a few shifts.

With 24 seconds approaching, Walker singled out Butler's one-stop jumper and didn't score. The rebound was taken by Jokic.

The Celtics' defense is like a spider's web. The Nets are an iron bucket!

Irving gave the ball to Jokic in the frontcourt. Jokic played Horford back to the basket. Facing Tatum's defense and giving the ball to Anthony, Anthony carried the ball and faced Tatum with a beautiful back. The washing machine spun around and turned and put the ball firmly in the basket.

Hayward singles George in the frontcourt, continuous turning and shaking and holding the ball and changing the speed failed to pass, the ball was given to Tatum, Tatum turned to shake Anthony and then shot back and was disturbed and did not enter.

Jokic continued to play with the ball in the low post. George midfielded through a pick-and-roll and went straight to the basket. Jokic slammed the ball to give the ball. After seeing Horford dribbling, George shook his hand and returned to Jokic. Defending Tatum layup caused the latter to foul.

After making two free throws, the Nets have started 6-0.

The scene was cheering, and the Celtics couldn't make it. The scene was ugly.

They have experienced the feeling of the Nets opening the Warriors in the finals last year.

They can play on paper, but every position is weak, and the defensive system they rely on to survive is not working. This is under pressure.

The game is still going on, Stevens has been trying to tear the Nets defense from Anthony, but Anthony is really not a defensive black hole after his knee injury, at least it is also on the league average, plus the Nets from time to time The double bag just can't make it.

By the 10th minute of the first quarter, the Nets had a lead of 13 points by 25 to 12.

Fans at the scene whistled, Angie was full of confidence, and the Celtics were not bad, but they were crushed by the Nets in a fight.

The two sides entered the rotation, with nine on both sides ~ www.readwn.com ~ Murray, Mitchell, Kuzma, and Yi Jianlian, Smart, Morris, Zhou Qi, and Baynes.

The Nets are also more dominant in terms of bench strength, but Zhou Qi's performance is very eye-catching. He has an outrageous wingspan and excellent footsteps, and even risked one each of Kuzma and Yi Jianlian. Shirt defense strength.

However, they still couldn't play coherence on the offensive end. Smart and Baines made three-point shots on the perimeter, only relying on Morris in the low post.

The starter was severely suppressed, and the substitutes could not play the momentum. The Celtics played very passively in the first game of the series.

87 to 102, they finally lost by 15 points.

Tatum scored a team-high 19 points, Hayward only scored 14 points on 5-of-16 shooting against George.

The Irving and Anthony scored 20 points each for the Nets. Six of the team scored in double figures.
