The highly anticipated October 13 arrived as scheduled, with the Celtics visiting Milwaukee to challenge the defending champion Bucks.

Although it is just a simple preseason game without a live broadcast across the United States, this game is already in a state of reversal in the outside world.

"All America pays attention, 2003 season Eastern Conference Finals preview!"

"Two FMVP peak duels, Shaquille O'Neal threatened to avenge his revenge at Bradley Center!"

"No team can defeat the Bucks, even 15 All-Stars, so naturally the Celtics led by Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce are not good."

"He Li will continue his MVP performance in the finals with the preseason against the Celtics!"

"Fearless, Paul Pierce said he was happy to win at the Bucks."

The competition has not yet begun, and such public opinion is everywhere.

In fact, in the pre-match interview, Pierce said: "It's 55, we won the team He Li is in at the World Championships.

Now that I join forces with a superstar of Shaquille, I find it hard to believe why He Li and the others can beat us.

Of course, I know the Bucks are strong, but I must say that they are not invincible.

I am fully confident that I can win the game!

But the game has not started yet, I can only answer rationally. Both of us and the Bucks can win the final victory. We are 50% likely, and so are they."

It can be heard that Pierce is still very confident.

Previously, he led the Dream Team 5 to win the World Championships and led the team to defeat He Li many times, which made Pierce's heart unprecedentedly strong.

After the World Championships, Pierce has been training. Pierce has been entering its peak period in recent years. Now Pierce is undoubtedly stronger than last season.

Besides, today is just a preseason. Based on the previous two games, He Li only spent more than 20 minutes. If the Celtics do their best, there is indeed a great chance of winning the Bucks.

This is also the fundamental reason why Pierce dared to say that he would play 55 with the Bucks before the game.

Indeed, this preseason game started and Pierce performed very well in the first quarter.

Pierce came up and scored three three-pointers in a row. Such a strong performance even made He Li stunned.

He Li knew that Pierce would shoot three-pointers, but Pierce did not bully the defensive colander, but took the initiative to challenge him, but was successfully challenged, which really made He Li defeated.

However, before the first quarter was finished, Pierce's three-point shooting percentage finally returned to normal under He Li's defense.

To be honest, everyone has a time of excitement. Even Pierce was a superstar and could even compete with James at his peak.

Although He Li said that his debut was at his peak, he actually still has a way to go before his peak period.

He Li himself knew that he was selected for the second team of the best defensive team last season, but he was actually not that strong.

What you want to do better this season is to accumulate experience slowly and strive to defend from the third position to the fifth position.

Of course, the defense of the No. 5 position is mainly for assisting defense.

The team leader, if you have nothing to do, you will be more careful than the No. 5 position, you are just full.

Defense against the No. 5 position is not the norm for He Li, but sometimes the team may need He Li to make sacrifices.

For example, this season, O'Neal has joined the Celtics, which is a question that cannot be ignored.

If the Bucks encounter the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals or the Eastern Conference semi-finals, O'Neal cannot be restricted. If this problem occurs, should He Li try hard to help defend O'Neal?

That must be what you want!

Back to the topic, when he met Pierce in a hot state, He Li's defense naturally became more serious.

After all, He Li doesn't have much to be serious on the offensive end. It's as easy as drinking water for 20 minutes and 30 minutes in the preseason.

But if Pierce, who is in good condition on the defensive end, cannot score more than 20 points, it will be difficult.

Gradually, under the stimulation of Pierce, He Li doubled his strength. Before the first quarter was finished, some fine sweat oozed out of his forehead.

"It's getting more and more interesting. I haven't sweated in the first quarter like this in a long time!"

He Li said seriously against Pierce.

Pierce mocked He Li: "Is that true? You should have sweated a lot last month, right?"

"Come on, if you sweat a little more, you can defend me!"

Pierce's trash talk skills are also very good, but the current situation is that Pierce has already made a series of irons under He Li's defense.

If O'Neal hadn't just arrived at the Celtics and had not integrated into the Celtics' tactical system, he would not have many balls, and the ball rights were mainly concentrated in Pierce's hands, so Pierce's score would have been less than He Li.

Of course, it is not difficult for He Li to surpass Pierce in scoring.

He Li reached out to ask for the ball, but he saw that there were less than 14 seconds left in the first quarter.

He Li took two steps away from the three-point line to dribble and press the time. Eric Williams wanted to come and help Pierce double-team He Li.

But Pierce is quite confident and thinks he can defend himself alone and avoids the Bucks' open space on the outside and receive three-pointers.

So I still signaled Eric Williams to retreat. This time I want to defend alone.

When He Li saw that there was no one to double-team, he didn't have much thoughts except to sigh that Pierce was too wild.

The only idea that exists is to throw the ball into the damn basket!

"Everyone in the game knows where He Li wants to shoot a three-pointer!"

"Paul Pierce's defense against He Li is very aggressive, and it can even be described as being too aggressive.

If it were me, I would take advantage of this and take action in advance before the first quarter is over to foul Paul Pierce!

You should know that He Li's free throw shooting percentage is as high as 85%, which is a free throw shooting percentage that most All-Star guards do not have.

He Li can openly score three-pointers by committing fouls and help the Bucks overtake the Celtics."

"Hey, man. You have to know that He Li is not only an inside player, he is also the top pitcher in the league!

Reggie Miller once told people that pitchers will believe that he will definitely throw the ball into the basket.

Among the two options of shooting or fouling, I believe He Li will choose the former.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, He Li will choose to complete 31, or 21 with more difficulty!"

“Yes, I agree with you.

He Li is so powerful and so great. He insists on his greatness and is therefore even stronger!

There are less than 2 seconds left, and He Li pulls up and He Li is about to take action!

Paul Pierce's closure was very timely and did not lose its position at all, and it started at almost the same time!

This ball should have interfered with it!”

“But, can we expect it?

You have to know that he is He Li. He was the three-pointer of last season, an unprecedented and extremely powerful three-pointer!

He Li has the strength to make this long three-pointer!

Yes, he did it really fuckingly, he and pierced the watch...

In the last second of the first quarter, the reversal was completed!”

"That's He Li!

He brought us so many surprises, which was incredible!

But this is what He Li can do!

He was too confident and he firmly believed that he could make an investment.

The fact is just as he showed that he really achieved all this through his extremely powerful strength!”

Although today is not a live broadcast competition across the United States, there are still live broadcasts and commentary on the scene.

The live commentator is the Bucks' own commentator, so even if you swear, it will have no effect.

After all, the audience is the basic Milvon fan of playing their own players, so if you say a little more swear, fans won't care too much.

Even a little irritable man would think that the explanation was too civilized.

Back to the point, this is just a preseason game, but because it is the preseason between the Bucks and the Celtics, the first match this season is unique.

The Kettles are obviously prepared and have made targeted arrangements for the Bucks' tactics and lineup last season.

So at the beginning of the game, after He Li lost to O'Neal by jumping ball, the Bucks were always at a disadvantage.

Even though He Li defended Pierce several times.

The main reason for this is that He Li and Dagou are indeed not very compatible.

Pierce comes to He Li to fight alone. He Li must come out to defend Pierce, otherwise Pierce will also use a cold arrow and use a three-pointer to kill people.

In this way, the Bucks can only defend O'Neal by relying on the center to defend O'Neal alone.

The Bucks' inside height and strength are not as good as O'Neal. Not to mention anything else, the Bucks' center is doing a bad job just by protecting rebounds and needs to be strengthened.

Although Big Dogs can also grab rebounds, they are just active in grabbing rebounds. When they meet a giant under the basket like O'Neal who can grab rebounds with just one stop at the basket, what's the use of Big Dogs being active in grabbing rebounds?

The Celtics have more power to make a comeback when they control rebounds.

Fortunately, in the last attack in the first quarter, He Li still grasped it and successfully overtook the Celtics with a buzzer-beating three-pointer.
