The game between the Celtics and the Miami Heat is full of several highlights. First, it is a competition between the second and third place in the Eastern Conference, there is also the battle between Milicic and Shaquille O'Neal, and the other is the Heat's La Liga.
The performance of Ferenc, Ricky Davis and the Celtics' Eddie Jones when facing their old owners, as well as the matchup between the 2003 generation and the 2003 generation, although everyone was not so impressed with Wade last season.
He is optimistic, but after a season of trials and his performance in November, everyone can see that this guy has the potential to be a superstar, and the competition between him and Milicic is also a highlight.
The Celtics and Heat are both teams that have just been reshuffled and rebuilt, and both have achieved good results. Although the season has only started for about a month, they have already shown their true qualities as strong teams. The Lakers dynasty in the West has collapsed.
It is very likely that this has changed the past alliance pattern of strong in the west and weak in the east.
The game between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat was broadcast live across the country. Bill Walton, who also served as an EPSN commentator, met Milicic again, and his partner Stuart Scott joked next to him.
: "Bill, everyone knows that you admire Darko very much, and you will be prepared for his competition, but it is a pity that Darko is a straight man, and he will choose well-known women to attack."
Bill Walton laughed loudly and said: "I also saw the news. Hilton is really extraordinary. Milicic, who is 2.16 meters tall, cannot satisfy him. He also needs to add West. It seems that he is here.
One trip to the Hilton hotel could drain the savings of two NBA players."
Yesterday, the news about Milicic, West and Paris Hilton was published by some tabloids. Many big websites also had relevant news and published photos of the three people together. From Hilton’s charming
With West's extremely flattering expression, many professionals who are good at this thought that the three of them had a dark threesome yesterday. If Hilton was not one of the owners here, I'm afraid the room service
There will be additional service charges for students.
It is precisely because of this that more people are paying attention to this game. Milicic has done so many great things in about a month. Although he is well-known, there are still some people who have never seen him play. It is just a good time to take advantage of this opportunity.
For this opportunity to be broadcast live across the United States, many people are waiting by their TVs and computers to see the performance of this god of picking up girls.
Before the game started, O'Neal and Wade both came over to say hello to Pierce, Payton, Jones and Milicic. Payton and Jones had both been O'Neal's teammates before. After greeting each other, O'Neal walked over to Milicic and smiled.
Hehe said: "Dakko, do you want me to score 30 points or 40 points in front of you today? I will try my best to satisfy your wishes."
Milicic looked at this big guy who likes to make fun of things. Sometimes he tells the truth and sometimes he jokes, so many times when he says something you don’t know whether he is telling the truth or joking. Milicic also teases him.
Said: "That doesn't matter, it's fine if I get 10 points more than you, so I don't care if you get 100 points."
Miami Heat starting lineup:
Point guard Damon Jones
Shooting guard Devin Wade

Power forward Reeve LaFrentz
Center Shaquille O'Neal
Boston Celtics starting lineup:
Point guard Gary Payton
Shooting guard Tony Allen
small forward Paul Pierce
Power forward Al Jefferson
Center Darko Milicic
The Celtics did not start Eddie Jones in this game. Rivers knew that although this old guy Jones didn't say it, he was once the star of the Heat and was now being sold off. He was inevitably worried.
He is angry, but he cannot be the main offensive point in the starting lineup of this game. Press him down the court and let him lead the second lineup to deal with the Heat's not strong substitutes later. Another idea is, although
Eddie Jones is in good condition and can break through for dunks, but his speed is obviously not as fast as Dwyane Wade. Wade is too fast, even when Kobe Bryant scored 81 points
There isn't much that can be done against Wade based on his pace and speed alone. So Rivers has to send Tony Allen to guard Wade. Although Tony Allen doesn't play many games, his defensive awareness and hard work can
In addition, his excellent running and jumping ability and almost abnormal upper body strength among defenders give him the potential to become the league's top defender, and the Celtics also vaguely regard him as the first outside defender.
the trend of.
The jump ball at the beginning of the game was fought between O'Neal and Milicic, and Milicic got the ball.
Bill Walton commented on the sidelines: "No matter how terrible O'Neal is, he is old. This is an indisputable fact. He is lucky not to have suffered major injuries, but aging will still find him. What if the ball just now
If it had been him four years ago, Milicic would have had no chance."
Tony Allen chased out and got the ball set aside by Milicic and handed it to Gary Payton. Payton slowly dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt. Both teams have big centers.
Therefore, the teams mainly focus on positional warfare, which is a real competition.
As soon as Payton arrived in the frontcourt, Milicic pulled to the free throw line. O'Neal did not follow, but LaFrentz took turns to mark Milicic.
After two consecutive disguises, Payton passed by Damon Jones, who was defending like air, and handed the ball steadily to the hands of Milicic. LaFrentz had been teammates with Milicic for more than a month.
Knowing that this guy has a good three-point shot, he didn't dare to go too far, but he just got closer. Milicic had already broken through with his right hand, squeezed him to his side with his left hand, and broke through toward the basket. When O'Neal came,
At the moment of the defense, Milicic jumped up and passed the ball from O'Neal's side, and Jefferson made an unguarded layup.
The Heat's offense here is somewhat similar to the Celtics' tactics. They let LaFrentz pull to the three-point line and gave the entire inside space to O'Neal. O'Neal and Milicic were entangled in the inside.
They are both 2.16 meters tall, but O'Neal is more than 20 kilograms heavier than Milicic. After he stood firm under the left basket, he raised his arms high to ask for the ball.
Len's defense found a gap and passed the ball to O'Neal.
After receiving the ball, O'Neal pushed back. Milicic felt a huge force pressing over him. O'Neal started to hit, once, twice. When Pierce came over to steal the ball, O'Neal had already held the ball with both hands and turned right to hook.
He hit the ball with his hand. After the ball hit, O'Neal did not forget to say to Milicic: "You have good strength. You are an average center. I could already get to the basket and dunk in the two shots just now."
