179 chain defense
Wang Kai himself did not expect that he had a huge lethal force on Winter and Katie, and the micro-film was shot very successfully.
Everyone responded very well on the Internet, but at this time Wang Kai didn't have time to be happy about this matter, because at the end of the season, all teams were working hard to win tickets to the playoffs.
The entire league has intensified the pursuit, so almost all games have become more intense and more difficult to play.
A team known for its toughness, which is also very hard-working in this period of time.
Moreover, the 76ers are now struggling desperately to maintain the third position, because the Cavaliers in front of the 76ers have recently begun to exert their efforts to get the 76ers away from the 3 and a half wins, and the Pistons and Magic behind them are only 3 wins.
In this way, the 76ers cannot lose. If they lose one game, they may be caught up. There will be no failure at all. Everyone is too close to each other.
The third position of the 76ers is actually very good, because if the 76ers enter the playoffs with the third position, they will face the sixth team, and the gap between the sixth and the third is still very big, so the 76ers will easily pass the first round.
If the 76ers fall to fourth place, then there is not much difference between them and fifth place, and then their first round will be more difficult. In this case, the 76ers want to keep the third place, so they play very nervously and win every game.
At this critical moment, the 76ers also encountered a strong enemy, which was the strongest team in the league this year, the Celtics.
The Celtics are now the number one in the East, but he is also being chased by the Knights, and now he cannot relax.
The Celtics' goal this year is to win the championship, so the Celtics will never give up on their home court advantage, and they must win.
Everyone was under pressure at this time, and then the Celtics and the 76ers collided in a hurry. In such a game, they could not give up on each other, which was destined to be a tough battle. With such tough battles, the players felt it was very troublesome.
But the fans and the media were very excited. Espn booked the broadcast rights for this game early and did a live broadcast nationwide.
Major media began to build momentum early. Two days before the game, Boston media interviewed Garnett and asked Garnett about his views on the game.
Garnett told reporters frankly: "The performance of the 76ers this season is respectable. They are a strong and tough team. Wang Kai is also an excellent rookie, but the victory must belong to us because we have a stronger determination."
Yu Garnett wanted to correspond, and Wang Kai also said in an interview in Philadelphia: "The Celtics are a powerful team, they have many great players. The experience is also richer than us, but all of this is not the reason we will fail. We will definitely win because we will never back down."
Wang Kai and Garnett said similarly, both respect each other, but they said that victory must be ours.
Such statements also allow the enthusiasts to compare, listing various comparisons to see the respective data of Wang Kai and Garnett, and their influence on the team.
Wang Kai has the advantage in data. After all, the Celtics are the Big Three, and Garnett will inevitably be restricted by taking action.
But when it comes to the influence of the team, the two of them are no match. Although Wang Kai changed the style and offense of the entire Philadelphia alone, Garnett's influence in spiritual core and defense is something that Wang Kai does not have.
Wang Kai is not an inside player, and he is incomparable to Garnett in defense, and Garnett has a high reputation in the world, so Wang Kai also feels so sorry for this.
In terms of data, Wang Kaigao and Garnett have the best influence. After all, the two of them have a great deal. If such a game starts, Mars will be destined to hit the earth.
The two teams of Philadelphia and the Celtics are also unique. The Celtics are sophisticated and mature, while Philadelphia is young and energetic and has advantages.
Two teams and two stars compete for a game. Such a game must attract attention.
The day before the game, the Celtics team came to Philadelphia from Portland and did simple trimming and training in Philadelphia.
At 10 o'clock the next night, the two teams began to officially confront the Vakovia Arena in Philadelphia. That night, the center of gravity of Vakovia was full, and recently the tickets in Philadelphia are selling better and better.
After a simple opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were lined up. The 76ers were point guard Andre Miller, shooting guard Wang Kai, small forward Iguodala, power forward Reggie Evans, and center Dalemport.
The Celtics' starting lineup is point guard Rajon Rondo, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Paul Pierce, power forward Kevin Garnett, and center Perkins.
The 76ers lineup reflects more hardness and strength. The score mainly depends on three outside lines, and the inside line is pure blue-collar.
The Celtics' lineup is extremely balanced, with both internal and external lines, with players without the ball, offense, offense with ball, long shots from the outside, and attacks from the inside. The Celtics reflect balance overall, omnipresent balance. The team has no shortcomings at all, and this strength is coming out.
The starting lineup of the two teams came out, and Bill Walton, who commented on today's game, immediately said in the commentary seat: "Today's game has finally begun. The Celtics and the Sixers are now both teams in the Eastern Conference, and the lineup is also distinctive. In such a game, we will appreciate two different styles of playing styles."
Albert, who sat next to Bill Walton, also said: "Today's game is definitely a highlight of the Eastern Conference. The two teams are likely to encounter it in the playoffs. If they encounter the winner of today's game in the playoffs, they will become a winner and loser, which will put psychological pressure on the opponent."
"So in today's game, neither team has a way out. They both have to win! And the 76ers and the Celtics are both tough teams, I'm really worried that something unexpected will happen in today's game."
Albert rarely talked about the great truth, and what was even more rare was that what Albert said was very reasonable.
At this time, Bill Walton also said: "That's right, so today's referee is Crawford. The league is also afraid that such an important game will happen!"
Bill Walton and Albert chatted wildly in the commentary seat, and the bald man Crawford whistled on the court.
Delham Porter and Garnett stood in the middle circle, and the two began to compete for the ball. Garnett was a person who did everything to play, his mouth, small movements, and everything. Such a person is extremely strong in character, and now even in competition, he is much more active than Delham Porter.
The mentality changed everything. Garnett was positive in his mentality and became more rapid in his actions. He immediately pointed the basketball to his teammates at the beginning.
The Celtics took the ball first, and Rondo came with the ball and pressed it very slowly. Andre gave Rondo some pressure a little. Rondo immediately transferred the ball to Perkins who ran up. Perkins didn't take risks when receiving the ball. He took the ball and waited for a while, and gave it too much to Rondo. Rondo took the ball and immediately passed it to Garnett at 45 degrees on the right. Garnett was high in position and gave Pierce who was holding the ball at the waist.
Pierce made a little move, and the 76ers immediately attacked hard. At this time, Pierce passed the ball back to Garnett, and Garnett passed it back to Rondo!
The Celtics fought without being impatient or impatient when they came up, and they had a lot of trouble. When they encountered trouble, they did not rush to rush, but sought cooperation from their teammates. At this time, the Celtics' maturity was fully demonstrated.
It would be fine if others are so mature, but what is even more rare is that Rondo can perform like this as a young player, which is a bit evil.
The Celtics transferred the ball in the 76ers' half, and the 76ers were a little scared. The Celtics had almost the same time. In the last few seconds, the Celtics still did not go alone. Instead, Garnett and Pierce made a cross cover. Pierce came up to get the ball and attracted enough defense. Suddenly, the ball was passed to Garnett who ran to 45 degrees, and Garnett made a jump shot.
Iguodala, who defended him, was completely insufficient in height, but Garnett's opening feel was not hot enough and he missed the shot.
Although the game was only the first round, the Celtics' offensive characteristics have been reflected, including team, patience, and tacit understanding.
The Celtics missed the shot, and the 76ers immediately took the backcourt rebound. Andre Miller dribbled the ball and pushed it over. At the half-time, he played pick-and-roll with Dalemport. Then Miller saw that there was no chance of attack and passed the ball to Dalemport. Dalemport was not an offensive player, so he transferred the ball to Wang Kai on a large scale.
Wang Kai only broke through with the ball, and suddenly he found that the Celtics' defense seemed to be a joint defense, and it seemed like a big net. He moved the Celtics' defense immediately came from all directions. At this time, at least three people were taking care of him.
Wang Kai was surrounded and could only pass the ball to the bottom corner. Iguodala was a little anxious to get the ball and shot a three-pointer.
With Iguodala's three-point shooting percentage, the three-pointers are naturally biased.
The Celtics did not get any points in the first round, and the 76ers did not get any points in the first round.
But not getting points is different from not getting points. The Celtics didn't get points, which was purely a bad touch. The 76ers didn't get points, and the ball was forced by the Celtics to reach the most difficult point to take.
The Celtics used their strongest chain defense against Wang Kai this season, and Iguodala, who deliberately let go of the bottom corner, was strategic.
In the end, Iguodala missed the shot. The Celtics were united in offense, patient and tacit understanding, and serious in defense, rigorous and strategic.
The Celtics' chain defense this year is the strongest defensive method in the league. The characteristic of this defensive method is to deliberately form a situation of siege against the opponent's strong points and deliberately relax the opponent's weaknesses to a certain extent.
This defense sounds very simple, but when operating, the high level of execution and tacit understanding required also have high requirements for the players' athletic quality. It is difficult to achieve this defensive effect, but once it is done, it can greatly curb the opponent.
Now the Celtics have done it, so they are the strongest team in the defense this season.
In the second round, the Celtics advanced, and Garnett was communicating with Rondo while advancing.
This summer, the Big Three took over the Celtics and Rondo was the point guard. The media and the outside world distrust Rondo and do not think he could control a giant ship like the Big Three. At this time, Garnett had a lot of help to Rondo in public or private, and Garnett gave Rondo a lot of confidence.
Now at the end of the season, everyone has seen Rondo as the main defender and is fully compatible with the Big Three. Moreover, Rondo has performed very well among the Big Three, and his performance in many games is more eye-catching than that of the Big Three.
After Rondo and Garnett communicated, Garnett was indeed very active at the 76ers' half. He first went to the right horn position to cover, sent Perkins safely outside the three-point line, and then immediately went to the waist position to cover, send Pierce up, and finally Garnett pulled outward.
At this time, Pierce made a cover and ran over. Everyone of the 76ers felt that Rondo was going to pass the ball to Pierce.
The 76ers just leaned towards Pierce, and Rondo suddenly started and broke through directly to the 76ers' basket.
Rondo took the opportunity to break through very accurately. The 76ers' defense was just open in the middle, and Evans was the only one in the inside. Evans was a bit short of height. Rondo took advantage of this opportunity to lean on Evans, and made a layup with a trolley, easily putting the basketball into the 76ers' basket.
Rondo scored the first point at the beginning, which was beyond expectations, but reasonably, the 76ers put all their defensive energy on the Big Three naturally had more opportunities.
Rondo scored points, the 76ers scored the ball at the basket, and the 76ers saw the offense and defense of the half-court Celtics were too patient.
They immediately accelerated their offense and defense and wanted to fight a chase attack, but in terms of retreat, the Celtics also achieved the ultimate. Not only did the entire team retreat very quickly, but the formation was also maintained very well.
Although the 76ers were young and physical, they could not find a place to talk to for a while, so they could only go to the Celtics' half to play.
Iguodala came on the ball and Wang Kai and Evans quickly made a double cover for Iguodala at 45 degrees. Although Iguodala got a three-pointer through the double cover, he passed the basketball to Wang Kai without the feeling of three-pointer.
As soon as Wang Kai got the ball, he immediately noticed that the three people around him aimed at him.
At this time, Wang Kai is sure and sure. As long as he moves, the Celtics' chain defense will definitely suppress him.
At this time, Wang Kai hesitated for a moment, and when Andre Miller cut into the penalty area, Wang Kai hurriedly passed the ball to Miller. Miller took the ball and wanted to force a throw in the Celtics' penalty area.
However, in the Celtics' penalty area, Perkins was used as a meat shield to fill the space, and Garnett, who had long hands and feet, helped to help fix the gaps. It was very difficult for Miller to play hard. He just made a move, and two people attacked each other forward and backward. Miller's shooting was extremely abnormal and missed. At this time, Perkins simply picked up a rebound under the basket.
The Celtics' defense is indeed extremely powerful, and their protection under the basket is definitely the top in the league.
As soon as the game started, the Celtics used their experience, patience, and unity to make the 76ers feel that they have nowhere to play.
This feeling is somewhat similar to playing the Pistons, but the Celtics players are somewhat different from the Pistons players. The Pistons players are completely aging, while the Celtics players are old, but they are still old. At this time, the Celtics players are old, but in the moment before dusk, the final scorching sun is often the most experienced.
