Milicic greeted Iverson when he was on the court. The leader of the 1996 golden generation is now showing signs of exhaustion. He has been struggling in the playoffs for several consecutive years and Iverson can no longer hold on.
Among the teammates who made it to the Finals, only Aaron McGee was too old to be used for much purpose. The team's series of signings have not changed much. Glenn Robinson is no longer the courage he once was.
Now he is just a slow-moving spot-up shooter, and his main position has been replaced by newcomer Iguodala.
Iverson came over and said to Milicic: "Darko, you've been playing well recently. Don't pay attention to what others say about you. Some people once said that I couldn't gain a foothold in the NBA at 1.83 meters, so I will give them the answer with actions."
"Thank you, Allen. Your fighting spirit and belief in never giving up are my role models." Iverson was also one of Milicic's idols in his previous life. Milicic was not hypocritical at all when he said this to him.
There are no ingredients.
Iverson was no longer a newcomer. He could tell whether he was sincere or not. He immediately had a better sense of Milicic. He patted him on the shoulder and said: "I hope one day I can have someone like you by my side."
Big guy."
There were some die-hard fans who followed the Celtics on the sidelines, holding various signs:
"Truth is higher than answers!"
"Darko, you've always been an all-star!"
"White Byas!"
"We want 7-0!"
During this time, with the hype surrounding Milicic's second pick, he has received his second nickname since coming to the NBA, "White Bias". The first nickname was of course "Human Victory Cigar", but that
It's not a good title. Milicic still likes the name White Bias. Although Bias has never played any game in the NBA, that guy is a real strongman, even the arrogant one.
Gang Leader Qiao personally admitted that he was no match for Baias, and this was the only opponent in Gang Leader Qiao's life that he felt inferior to.
This game was still broadcast by TNT. Milicic once again saw the two treasures of Barkley and Kenny Smith. Apparently Barkley also noticed the name "White Bias" played by the fans on the sidelines, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Said: "Did that guy crawl out again? It seems Michael doesn't have the courage to come back for the third time."
This time Kenny Smith did not quarrel with Barkley as usual, but said as if he was immersed in memories: "I played with Bias when I was at North Carolina, and that guy is the best I have ever seen in my life.
The scariest player ever. He's very strong, but what makes him extremely rare is that he doesn't rely solely on athleticism like most other guys like him. He once said, 'I can shoot the outside shot, and I'm good at it.
Strong, and can also get into the penalty area and dunk over you. I can do whatever I want.' This arrogant guy, I can't imagine what heights he will reach when he comes to the NBA. Milicic is Baia
The regeneration of Si? This statement is very interesting. Baias has unparalleled strength when playing against the third position, and has the flexibility of a defender when playing against the fourth position. Darko is very similar in this regard,
When facing the No. 4 position, he has the advantage of height and strength, and when facing the No. 5 position, his movement speed and three-point shooting are something his opponents do not have."
The Celtics' starting lineup is still point guard Gary Payton, shooting guard Eddie Jones, small forwards Paul and Pierce, power forward Al Jefferson, and center Darko Milicic.
The 76ers' lineup has changed a lot compared to the beginning of the season. The point guard is played by Allen Iverson, the shooting guard has been replaced by three-point shooter Korver, and Igor is at the small forward position.
Darla has successfully pushed Glenn Robinson to the bench, and the power forward and center are still Kenny Thomas and Dalembert.
Thomas and Dalembert have not changed much in the past month or so, but Milicic and Al Jefferson have undergone temperamental changes. This can be seen by anyone who has close contact with them on the court.
feel.
After the opening, Milicic had the upper hand in the battle with Dalembert. Payton stabilized the rhythm and handed the ball to Paul Pierce after halftime. Pierce scored the first goal of the opening game.
, which also set a tone for this game. In this game, Pierce must score higher than Iverson on the premise of winning.
After Pierce caught the ball and met Iguodala, he felt that the kid in front of him was not easy to deal with. His defensive ability seemed to be as good as Tony Allen on his team, and his physical fitness was even better than Tony Allen.
However, Pierce knew that people with excellent running and jumping abilities like Iguodala could easily be fooled by continuous fake moves. Pierce shook his shoulders and seemed to be shaking to the left, but in fact he took a step back.
, Iguodala had already judged to the left. Pierce saw Iguodala pass him and immediately made a step-back jumper, but at this moment Iguodala jumped over in the opposite direction like a spring man.
Although he jumped sideways and affected the jumping height, his fingertips still touched the ball. Pierce was shocked and thought what the hell had become of this evil beast? But he still shouted loudly: "Offensive rebound!"
The ball was obviously short, so Milicic did not squeeze in with Dalembert, but pushed against Dalembert sideways to prevent him from coming out of the paint area. Sure enough, this ball
It hit the front edge of the basket and was a long backboard. Milicic ran two steps forward and caught the ball just before the free throw line.
Milicic, who was holding the ball, saw that Pierce didn't ask for the ball, so he made a gesture and pulled away from 1-4. Dalembert knew that Milicic had the ability to shoot from long distances, so he followed him, only to see Milicic.
Qi's feet moved back and forth like scissors, and he suddenly lowered his center of gravity. He dribbled the ball with his hips twice in succession. This movement was so fast that not only did Dalembert fail to react, but even the audience did not expect this.
A big man can do such an action. Milicic passed Dalembert and rushed inside, jumping up to prepare for a dunk. Kenny Thomas jumped up to block the shot, and Milicic grabbed the ball with both hands.
His arm suddenly moved to the right, dodging Thomas's blocking hand and slamming the ball into the basket.
"What! A carrying dunk! Dribbling under the crotch and continuously changing directions plus carrying a dunk, is this guy still a center? If I am 1.98 meters tall and can average 20+10 per game, then this guy is 2 meters tall.
16 is a complete monster if he can do these actions!" Buckley exclaimed loudly.
"That's right! This guy is just like Baias. Although I don't like superstitious terms, he is really like what Baias said - I can do whatever I want. This guy is simply Baias.
Si is reborn!" Kenny Thomas said in admiration.
Milicic's non-inside attack ignited the passion of the audience right after the game started.
