The game between the Boston Celtics and Rockets officially kicked off.
The Boston Celtics starting lineup is:
Point guard Marcus Banks, shooting guard Paul Pierce, small forward Darrell Wright, power forward Darko Milicic, center Chris Anderson
The Houston Rockets starting lineup is:
Point guard Bob Sura, shooting guard Tracy McGrady, small forward Jimmy Jackson, power forward Juwan Howard, center Yao Ming
In this game, Rivers knew what Pierce was thinking. It happened that Rivers and Pierce had the same idea, and both wanted to teach McGrady a lesson, so Pierce came to the shooting guard position and left Darren.
Reil Wright was pushed into the starting lineup. The presence of Marcus Banks and Chris Anderson proved Rivers' determination. He wanted to make this Celtics team an ironclad wall.
McGrady will not be given any easy scoring opportunities. Even if this starting lineup comes off, he still has Tony Allen, a top defensive player.
The game started with Milicic and Yao Ming competing for the ball. Although Yao Ming had an advantage in height, his wingspan, jumping and speed advantages still allowed Milicic to win the ball. To be fair, Milicic rarely competed for the ball.
Will lose to others, except for a few talented guys like Garnett.
As soon as Banks got the ball, Bob Sura on the other side was already close to him. Banks' little tank body pushed against Sura, but he found that not only did he miss this guy, but he almost stumbled.
, in fact, this is not to blame Banks, his body is indeed extremely good among point guards, but Bob Sula, the older brother, used to play the role of a swingman, and he was also a white man when he was young.
Although the flying guy started to play point guard as he got older, his body is still that of a swingman.
After Banks became alert, he began to use his speed to control the ball and try to reduce the physical contact with Sura. After arriving in the frontcourt, Milicic was about to come out to provide support when he saw Pierce making gestures. He quickly understood and came up with a
The single screen blocked Tracy McGrady firmly in front of him, and after receiving the ball, Pierce tapped his feet and threw the ball.
The ball went into the basket. After the ball went in, Pierce raised his head and smiled at Tracy McGrady, but Tracy McGrady didn't seem to see it. It even seemed that this ball was not because of his lack of defense. He was smiling there, and Milley smiled so much.
It's strange that everyone can't figure it out.
After the Rockets served the ball, Bob Sura dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and saw that there was no particularly good opportunity. He passed the ball to Tracy McGrady. After receiving the ball, Tracy McGrady glanced at his feet seemingly casually. He made a mental calculation and said:
The distance from the three-point line was just when Pierce was still wondering whether Tracy McGrady would pass or break through next. Tracy McGrady had already jumped high, and his classic move appeared - a pull-up jump shot!
The position of this jumper was still a big step away from the three-point line, but after Tracy McGrady finished the shot, he did not look at the basket, but raised his arms, and the ball flew into the basket and went hollow.
In his previous life, Li Xiaoguang knew that Tracy McGrady's pull-up jump shot was a famous stunt, but he never seriously thought about how difficult this move was to defend. It was with this move that he was able to reverse the Spurs, the NBA's first defensive team, in 35 seconds.
Team.
Tracy McGrady's height, wingspan and vertical jump, coupled with the time difference in his sudden take-off, make it almost impossible to block him. If you want to do better, I'm afraid you have to be like Battier.
Blocking shots blindfolded. However, this kind of blocking may not be as effective when facing superstars like Kobe and Tracy McGrady.
Someone once said that Kobe and Tracy McGrady were more prolific, and were much worse than many outstanding three-point shooters in history. However, you must know that those fixed-point three-point shooters almost always shot when the defender was attracted by the superstar, leaving them almost open.
To shoot, what Kobe and Tracy McGrady have to do is barely shoot, and they even have to put the ball into the basket between two or three people.
Tracy McGrady didn't even have any extra expression after he scored the ball. It was like watching someone else do something insignificant, but that expression seemed to say: It's nothing, it's just something I have been doing every night.
That's all.
Turning over to the Celtics' offense, Rivers would not let Pierce and Tracy McGrady work alone. After all, in terms of personal ability, Pierce was still inferior to Tracy McGrady at the time, and Rivers would not be stupid.
Instead of playing with a straight flush, he took out one of his cards and played with Van Gundy for a single.
Milicic pulled near the free throw line, and although Howard followed, Milicic knew from the previous game video analysis that this guy's old arms and legs might not be able to keep up with his own rhythm.
So after Milicic received the ball, he passed Howard directly in one continuous movement. When facing Yao Ming's defense, he took three strong steps and hit the ball to the ground when he took the second step.
It was given to Chris Anderson, but Chris Anderson's offensive ability is not even a little worse than that of Al Jefferson and Krstic. After receiving the ball, the ball was not very stable at first, and the time to adjust his movements was very short.
It took too long. When he took off to dunk, Yao Ming had already spotted the trajectory of his shot. He slapped the ball hard with a big hat. The ball was hit on the backboard and bounced out. People on the sidelines
Rivers shouted: "Get the offensive rebound!"
Yao Ming had just finished blocking the shot. Neither he nor Anderson was in the most advantageous position. Milicic squeezed Uncle Huo behind him and waited for the ball to fall within his control before taking off.
Unexpectedly, just when Milicic reached out and thought that the rebound would fall into his hands, a figure flew over from behind. The figure that jumped out from beside Milicic held the ball firmly in his hands.
.
After the rebound was taken by that person, Milicic took a closer look and realized that the person grabbing the ball was none other than the opponent's point guard Bob Sura.
Milicic looked at this player who was only 1.98 meters tall. He looked at himself and then at Pierce and Darrell Wright. Not only did he wonder if he had seen it wrong, several strong men over 2 meters tall didn't even have the same height.
Grab this guy.
At the end of the first quarter, Milicic unexpectedly discovered that Bob Sura had gotten 3 rebounds. Milicic couldn't help but lament that it is not easy to be a point guard these days, and he has to learn to rebound to be stable.
