Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Time passed and it was the evening of June 6th, at TD Garden in Boston.

The Bulls players entered the arena and began warming up amid boos from the audience.

After the warm-up, G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals will also start here.

Boston is inherently xenophobic, not to mention that Celtics fans have always liked to put pressure on visiting players in the hope that the home team can achieve better results at the TD Garden.

It is worth mentioning that in recent years, the Bulls have been hindering the Celtics from breaking through the Eastern Conference Finals and advancing to the Finals.

This also makes Celtics fans, who are eagerly waiting for the next championship, regard the Bulls as a formidable enemy that they want to eliminate as soon as possible.

It is precisely because of these factors that the TD Garden Arena is extra noisy and loud tonight.

However, this did not affect the experienced Bulls players at all.

Except for Wiggins, all the players on this Bulls team have been to the finals. What kind of scene have they not seen?

So, how could such a situation affect the playing mentality and shake the belief in winning?

Come on horseback!
Duan and others also hope that the two top players can perform better tonight so that they can have fun.

As the referee in the center circle threw the basketball high up, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals began under the attention of the public.

Jokic successfully helped the Bulls get the ball back to half court, and then the ball fell into Durant's hands.

Duane passed the ball to Wiggins, signaling him to dribble across half court. Curry on the side didn't say anything about this, and took the initiative to run to the frontcourt without the ball.

Seeing Curry running towards the basket, Jokic took a stance at the top of the arc and prepared to screen for the ball handler. Duane ran 45 degrees to the left, White ran 45 degrees to the right, and then continued to go deep into the bottom corner.

The Bulls created a lot of space, and the Celtics did not choose to double-team Wiggins, the ball handler, in advance, so they could only play a more passive man-to-man defense and were led by several Bulls players who were running without the ball.

In a flash, Curry just ran from the right corner to the left corner, and Jokic gave Wiggins a solid screen at the top of the arc. Wiggins stomped on the ground suddenly, and before Tatum could squeeze through the screen and chase to the basket, Wiggins had already jumped in the penalty area.

Admittedly, Wiggins's coordination with the ball is relatively poor, and he can only break through to the right.

But without any interference, as long as he takes the first step, he can display the speed that his body should have as the No. 1 pick in the draft year.

At this time, Wiggins basically only needs to take one or two more steps to reach the restricted area, and then jump directly into the air with top-notch bounce to complete a dunk.

This is the situation now. The center of the Bulls is Jokic, who has three-point shooting ability. When he pulls out of the three-point line, all the centers in the league have to follow.

At the same time, Curry, who is the best at running without the ball in the league, cuts to the basket. Although it is impossible for Curry to complete an air relay under the basket, no one will watch Curry run to the bottom of the basket without following him or stopping him.

As Jokic and Curry attracted most of the attention of the Celtics players on the court, Wiggins used Jokic's screen to dribble the ball to the basket. As long as he didn't slip, he could easily get to the basket and score.

In the past, Wiggins might have just made a mediocre layup, or even failed to finish the layup.

But now is different from the past. Now it is the Eastern Conference Finals, a stage Wiggins has never reached.

As the top draft pick, wouldn't you want to prove yourself on a bigger stage?

It's because I know I have to concentrate on playing and have a great performance at TD Garden.

In addition, he received unanimous care and expectations from his teammates as soon as he came on the court, got the ball for the team's first attack, and the team leader Jokic personally covered for him.

In order to live up to everyone's expectations, Wiggins broke the thermos right at the start and made a thrilling, even shocking dunk!
After Wiggins fell lightly from the basket, Tatum chased into the paint area.

But then the Celtics launched a fast break!
Everyone knows that if you want to beat the current Bulls, defense alone is not enough.

The Bulls' leader is Jokic, a big center who is extremely rare in the small ball era. He has a historical level of low-post offensive ability. Now no one in the league can defend Jokic. So, if you want to defeat the Bulls, you can only use offense instead of defense.

In the most orthodox way of the small ball era - transition and speed first, space and shooting are king!
With the help of quick transition offense, taking advantage of the big center's failure to return to defense in time, the team can score more efficiently with five against four.

Then, through frequent shuttle runs, the center's physical strength can be consumed, and his influence on the court can be weakened as much as possible.

It has to be said that Jokic, the essence of human streaky meat, would indeed be made to feel numbed and breathless by the frequent fast breaks and transitions.

However, as one of the strongest players in the small ball era, Jokic can also adapt to the pace of the game in this era - try to go all out in the shortest possible time to help the team widen the score, and then recover enough physical strength by slacking off on the court or resting off the court.

If it were in other teams, Jokic, who was isolated and helpless, would have to play more tiredly, but in the Bulls, there is really not much pressure.

The Bulls have a deep rotation. If Jokic is tired, the worst that can happen is that he can be substituted out for a rest, so there is no need for Jokic to find opportunities to slack off on the court.

What's more, Curry is at the end of his peak and his ability to lead a team is still very good. When Jokic goes down, Curry can also lead the team to gain some advantages with his core identity and playing style.

Therefore, the Celtics' speed-up transition play is too simple. Even if Jokic's playing time is reduced, it will be difficult to shake the Bulls' advantage on the offensive end.

What's more, the Bulls have always done a good job on defense.

It has to be said that unlike the opening game, the Bulls are now equipped with the nemesis of the two rookies - Wiggins.

Same young player, same energy, same talent, and my talent is even higher than yours!
It is true that in terms of offensive ability, Wiggins is not as good as the two rookies, but what the Bulls value about Wiggins is that he calms down and puts his talent on the defensive end.

As long as Wiggins devotes himself to the game and tries his best to limit one of the two rookies, the two rookies that Celtics fans are proud of can become unicorns.

In today's small-ball era where the game pace is fast, statistics are skyrocketing, and only when stars gather together can results be achieved, a game must score at least 110 points to win.

It is precisely because of such objective factors that a strong team cannot defeat a whole team by itself by relying on only one star player to play at full power, even if he scores 40 points.

The Bulls have Wiggins to limit the scoring of the Celtics' star players and weaken the scoring ability of the Celtics' core players.

They also have Jokic and Curry, two of the top five scorers in the league, which undoubtedly makes the game a foregone conclusion.

Of course, the game had just started, and Celtics fans, as well as the vast majority of fans around the world, did not realize how important Wiggins was to this series.

After the game is over and the results become apparent, Celtics fans and players will know what despair is.

The Bulls are not teams of the same level, but they are equipped with an outside defender who can effectively limit the two rookies.

First reward Tatum with Wiggins, and use White to limit Jaylen Brown.

If White can't handle Jaylen Brown, there's still Bridges on the bench.

In the previous regular season matchup, White and Ohashi just couldn't defend Tatum, but they were able to limit Jaylen Brown.

Besides, Jaylen Brown is not as durable and lasting as Tatum.

As long as the Bulls make sure Wiggins and Tatum are on the same floor, they will be invincible.

The fact turned out to be just as Dunn had expected - you fell down before I even used any strength!
In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls' main players played for three quarters and defeated the Celtics without much effort.

This also resulted in Duane, the team's third-in-command, taking only 8 shots in the entire game.

Because he only played three quarters and 24 minutes of playing time, Durant scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals tonight, and seemed to have little presence.

As the team's perimeter defender, Wiggins, who played in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time, scored 12 points in just 18 shots, showing the true talent of a No. pick in the year with his integrated offense and defense! (End of this chapter)
