Standing pretty old

Chapter 702 Taurus' Acting Skills
Ruan Erniu led his team to Boston again, and every time he came to North Shore Garden, he had different feelings.

When he first came here, he was full of unwillingness and frustration.

In the game, he made a throat-cutting gesture, but eventually lost to the Celtics who were in full swing. Even though he scored shocking statistics when he first entered the league, the Celtics still became the guy who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

The Hawks took revenge in the playoffs of the 07-08 season and defeated the Celtics, the favorite to win the championship in the eyes of most people.

The reviews about Erniu changed at once. He went from a new star at the historical level to a superstar at the historical level.

At the end of last season, Garnett was injured and was reimbursed for the season.

When they met Lukai again in the regular season, this was no longer a team that could pose a threat to the Eagles. After all, at that time, the Eagles were aiming to create the best record in history.

Sure enough, after entering the playoffs, the Celtics, who wanted revenge, were eliminated early before they even got to the Hawks.

By this season, the Celtics with the Big Three are certainly still one of the most competitive teams in the league, but in front of the Atlantans who have won 73 and want to build a dynasty, the old Celtics have nothing to lose. advantages to speak of.

Green Kai has also changed a lot this year. First of all, they finally fired Doc Rivers unbearably. They failed to lead Green Kai to the finals for two consecutive years. Even if there are various reasons, someone must stand up. Take responsibility for this.

He Dou is obviously the best candidate, but after firing him, Lukai has not found a more suitable replacement.

In other words, there are currently no outstanding coaches who are willing to come to Boston to take over. Smart people can see clearly that this is the era of Atlanta, and the chemical reaction of the three giants of the Green Kai is far from meeting people's expectations. Taking over at this time is undoubtedly a kind of Risky behavior.

Danny Ainge, as the general manager of the Celtics, finally chose to right the team's assistant coach Tom Thibodeau.

In fact, Thibodeau has always been in charge of the Celtics' defensive work. As the head coach, River Doc has been playing the role of cooking chicken soup for the soul more often.

For Thibodeau, the game against the Hawks in the new season is undoubtedly the most critical test.

The Big Three two years ago were still in their prime, and they were at their peak, but more than two seasons have passed. Whether it is the so-called sentimental grouping at the end of the year, or the actual originator of the peak grouping, there is no way to cover up the fact that they failed to win the championship and are getting older. embarrassing situation.

Once Luke still fails to make a breakthrough in the new season, the disintegration of the Big Three will only happen sooner or later.

November 2009, 11, US time, TD North Shore Garden Arena.

Both sides did not speak harshly before the game. The Celtics wanted to prove themselves with actions, while the Hawks were superior to the crowd and had long since regarded the Celtics as their only opponent.

Of course, the fans of the Celtics are still fanatical, and they started shouting before the game started: "BEAT-ATL!"

Erniu has long been used to this, and said to Carroll, who just joined the NBA this year: "This is the pure NBA, DeMarre, enjoy it!"

According to NBA practice, all rookies have to carry bags, but Er Niu has never commanded a rookie in the team to do so with his veteran qualifications.

With Novak out due to injury, Carroll finally got a chance to enter the rotation.

However, with Carroll's current technology, I'm afraid it's just an option, and he's not enough to enter Woodson's eyes.

The Hawks' starting No. [-] position changed again tonight. Woodson said nothing on the surface, but he was still quite afraid of the Celtics. He put Mike Bibby back to the starting position again.

And Green Kai's debut did not exceed everyone's expectations:
C Kendrick Perkins

PF Kevin Garnett

SF Paul Pierce

SG Ray Allen
PG Rajon Rondo
On the bench of Green Kai, there are Marquis Daniels, Rasheed Wallace, Eddie House, Tony Allen, Glenn Davis and others.

But Tony Allen and Big Baby did not appear in today's list due to injuries.

And Erniu also saw an acquaintance on the bench of Green Kai, that is, the former substitute insider of the Eagles-"Landlord" Sheldon Williams, this season, he signed with Green Kai freely.

It was Garnett who was in charge of jumping the ball with Er Niu, but Garnett, who was reimbursed due to injury last season, seemed to be not as athletic as before. After the basketball was thrown high by the referee Steve Javi, the second Niu won the jump ball by virtue of the speed of bounce.

Bibby got the basketball, took possession of it half court, and immediately handed it to Jon Jonson.

囧囧sen controlled the ball to read the game, made a fake shot and sent a passing ball. With the help of Er Niu's blocker, Lunar Eclipse threw off Garnett and cut to the basket. buckle.

It's not a day or two for Perkins to move slowly. The reason why Green Kai was targeted as soon as he met the Atlanta Hawks was because the Celtics' style of play was too restrained.

Garnett has indeed supported Lukai's defensive system, but when facing such excellent mobile insiders as Ruan Erniu and Lunar Eclipse, just relying on Garnett is far from enough!
The Celtics have the ball, Rondo has the ball in half court, and passes it to Ray Allen, Ray Allen passes it to Pierce, who hits the ground and sends it to Garnett.

Garnett shook his shoulders and stepped back for a jumper in the low post, and hit a big jumper against the eclipse's defense.

Taurus Garnett has always been a smart guy. His confrontation ability has never been considered the top in the league, but he has repeatedly won the reputation of "hard guy" because of his outstanding acting skills.

He is obviously a fairly ordinary fadeaway jumper, but he insists on clenching his teeth and clenching his fists, beating his chest and roaring. This image does appear to be iron-blooded enough, but that's all.

In fact, Deng Dada, who is also a Taurus, is also the same kind of person, but some like to play tough guys, and some like to play bookworms.

Mr. Big Fundamentals once said in an interview in an All-Star game that he didn't want to keep comparing with Garnett.

Many Garnett sunspots think that this is because the great Duncan disdains to be compared with someone who is full of foul language and likes to put on airs.

However, Ruan Erniu, who is also a Taurus, has a different opinion. This only shows that Duncan thinks that the acting skills of another No. 21 are too rudimentary, and he is not worthy of being compared with himself.

Life is like a play, it depends on acting.

The same is true for superstars who embarked on a career path, even Er Niu is no exception.

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Ruan Erniu lifted the ball to the top arc outside the three-point line, Perkins had to be unable to follow, the eclipse also moved to the right horn, and Garnett could not defend the basket empty.

Er Niu sent a pass, Salmons and Jon Jong Sen added crosses to move, and Salmon made an empty cut to the basket and easily scored 2 points.

Rondo sent the ball to Garnett again in the frontcourt, and the latter chose the Jagged jumper again~~
Again!

Ruan Erniu made a shot from outside the three-point line~~
Missed!

But the lunar eclipse got an offensive rebound and passed back to Ruan Erniu.

breakthrough!

Er Niu passed the slow-moving Perkins in one step, jumped up, raised one arm high, and succeeded in a tomahawk dunk.

The defensive strength of both sides is not weak, but relatively speaking, the Eagles in the away game played more proactively.

Garnett made 4 of 4 shots in a single quarter and was the Celtics' best player.
