The starting players on both sides: the Heat have point guard Mario Chalmers, shooting guard Dwayne Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Chris Bosh, center Turiaf and newly signed Ray Allen.
As expected, Rashard Lewis served as a substitute. This starting lineup has not changed at all from last season.
The Celtics' starting lineup has basically remained unchanged, with point guard Rajon Rondo, shooting guard Bradley, small forward Pierce, power forward Brandon Bass, and center Kevin Garnett.
He has been serving as the team's center at the end of last season and performed well. In the Eastern Conference playoffs, he defeated all players at this position, including Horford of the Hawks, Hawes of the 76ers, and
The Heat's Turiaf is no match for the old Garnett
As expected, Celtics new player Jason Terry still plays the role of sixth man.
Seeing that all the starting players have entered the field, what Yang Zhenxing was thinking about was whether he would get playing time in this game. Yang Zhenxing sat on the bench, staring closely at the players on the field.
With the audience cheering enthusiastically, Garnett passed the ball to Rondo.
Rondo dribbled the ball, Garnett stepped forward to cover, Rondo bypassed Garnett, Chalmers was blocked by Garnett, Chalmers also quickly bypassed Garnett, Garnett did not
If you dare to move, if you move again, it will be a cover foul.
Since Rondo had passed the screen, it was impossible for Chalmers to catch up. Rondo came to the basket all of a sudden, and Bosh had to come up to cover. Rondo swayed to the basket and did not rush to take action.
Bosh was shaken up, and Rondo wanted this opportunity to shoot!
The referee beeped for a foul! Bosh was called for a foul on his first offense. Bosh was so anxious that he almost jumped up. Rondo walked to the free throw line with no expression on his face.
Rondo walked to the free throw line and was booed.
On the first free throw, there was a bang, and the ball came off the court. There was a burst of cheers. Garnett walked up to Rondo and whispered into his ear: "Rajan, relax."
Rondo was muttering in his heart, "I feel very relaxed, but you know it's not a matter of mentality. On the second free throw, Rondo adjusted it, and the ball clicked twice on the basket. Rondo thought in his heart
But I was so excited that the ball finally went in
The Celtics scored 1:0 in their first attack.
Looking back, the second offense gave the Heat the ball. As soon as Chalmers brought the ball to the frontcourt, James stretched out his hand out of habit. Chalmers immediately gave the ball to James. James held the ball.
Looking at Chalmers's slightly depressed expression, he realized that he was wrong. James had always wanted to leave the opportunity to his teammates, but he went to the frontcourt to ask for the ball. This was a habit he had developed since he was with the Cavaliers. But now the Heat
Unlike the Cavaliers, Chalmers has made more obvious progress. James also wants the team to cultivate a real point guard. They also pursued Steve Nash during the summer vacation, but Nash chose the Lakers in the end.
James handed the ball to Chalmers again. Chalmers was stunned for a moment and looked at James. James smiled at Chalmers before Chalmers began to organize the offense with confidence.
Wade was about to run out to ask for the ball, but his position was not good and it was difficult to form a direct attack opportunity. Chalmers did not give him a chance. Wade smiled and thought to himself, "This kid is brave. I can't ask for anything."
No more”
Chalmers dribbled the ball looking for opportunities. He was naturally a little unhappy after being hit by Rondo just now. Chalmers tried to break through Rondo, but Rondo was so easy to break through. How did Chalmers change direction?
But he couldn't get rid of Rondo's defense. Rondo was firmly stuck in front of Chalmers.
Rondo didn't forget to provoke: "Come on, didn't you say I'm not among the top five point guards? See if you can beat me."
"Rajian, don't be too arrogant. I, Chalmers, am not a vegetarian either."
"Oh? Really?" Rondo sneered.
Chalmers dribbled faster, and Rondo didn't react for a moment. The two of them were still talking just now, but Chalmers had already killed him. Rondo hurriedly chased after him, but what he didn't expect was Chalmers.
Chalmers made a sudden stop and Rondo was almost knocked down. Chalmers made a sudden stop and made a mid-range jumper!
Yang Zhenxing applauded him. It was indeed a wonderful goal. While applauding, he tilted his head and looked at Rivers, who had a solemn expression. Seeing that Rivers was also applauding his opponent, he applauded with confidence.
Palm
Wade said: "Not bad, it seems that you have made progress during the summer vacation. You are so confident from the beginning."
"Hahaha, it's not that I have gained confidence, it's that you didn't give me a chance in the past," Chalmers said lightly.
James came up and interjected: "Mario, it seems we will give you more opportunities in the future."
Chalmers smiled and said nothing
Rondo, who had just been beaten, did not speak, but dribbled slowly to the frontcourt. Chalmers scored a goal and the two team bosses made it clear that they would give themselves more opportunities.
So happy
But Rondo had already launched an attack. "Pay attention to defense!" Heat coach Spoel Spora shouted to Chalmers, who was about to step onto the court.
Chalmers came back to his senses and focused on defense. But at this moment, it was already too late. For Rondo, don't give him a chance, otherwise all your previous efforts will be in vain.
Rondo had already come in quietly, and Chalmers could only watch Rondo pass him by.
Yang Zhenxing sighed in his heart: "I'll go, so fast."
Rivers looked at Rondo and nodded with satisfaction.
In an instant, Rondo got rid of Chalmers' defense, but what greeted Rondo was a series of iron walls.
