Chapter 195 Knight (1)

At home, the Lakers defeated the Jazz and won the game. Immediately afterwards, the battle between the Celtics and the Cavaliers was also ignited.

Their confrontation this time was the most "heavy" battle in the second round. James is one of the most powerful contenders for "No.1" in the NBA, popular all over the United States and even the world, and the "Big Three" It has been the most gorgeous combination for several seasons, so this game is not only broadcast live across the United States, but also attracted many foreign media who also pay attention to basketball, including CCTV5.

The Rockets' "round tour" again this year has made fans all over the country focus on the Celtics at this time.Before the game started, many fans turned on the TV early.

Su Qun and dear Wei Ping Bryant were in charge of explaining the game, while Yu Jia was sent to Boston to interview Shi Lei before and after the game.

So the fans who turned on the TV, the first thing they saw was the Shi Lei they most expected to see.

On the TV, Shi Lei smiled naturally, wearing Adidas sportswear, and was accepting Yu Jia's pre-match interview.

"The Celtics are the favorites to win the championship this year, and the Cavaliers were the Eastern Conference champions last season. You usually start when you face the Cavaliers. So will you start this game?"

"It may disappoint the fans and friends. I will not start this game. Paul will defend James. His defense is actually very strong. It's just that he needs to use offense to help the team most of the time, so there will be defenses. Reserved, but this is the playoffs and he's going to give it his all."

As long as James is restrained, the Cavaliers will be useless, so in this game, Rivers specially emphasized the team's defensive strategy. Pierce, Posey and Shi Lei will take turns to defend James.And because of the offensive firepower of the substitute lineup, Shi Lei was put at the end to face James.

However, the fans in front of the TV didn't care about these things. They only cared about when Shi Lei would appear on the stage and what kind of performance he would have. Shi Lei's words naturally made many fans really "disappointed".

"Ma Dan, don't get on my big rock, just wait for James to rise up."

"Rivers must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. If the Celtics lose, he will be the one to take the blame. Brainless, mentally handicapped!"

"Oh, Stone didn't match up with James, so he has a very important offensive mission?"

The psychological activities of the fans could not affect the two people on the TV screen. Yu Jia continued to ask: "Then when will you play? What is your mission for this game?"

"The specific time depends on the situation on the court. It should be in the middle of the second quarter, or later. The task of the game has not changed, but after James comes on the court, I will be on the court to defend him."

"Okay, thank you for accepting the interview, I wish you a good performance in this game."

"Thank you, we will win."

Victory is the most commonly used word on the lips of the Celtics. This is not only a manifestation of their confidence, but also a psychological hint. They have been trying to tell everyone, the media, opponents, and fans, " They will win!"
The hint of victory was first accepted by the fans. As soon as the Celtics players played, the TD North Shore Garden Stadium became a sea of ​​enthusiasm.There were huge crowds of people sitting on the court, huge green waves one after another, as if they were in a real ocean, and the Celtic players cheered like an explosion as soon as they came out!

In the midst of the huge ocean waves, the people from Cleveland who came from afar managed to maintain their composure, but this inevitably made their limbs become stiff like old machines that lacked lubrication.

Even James, who is used to the wind and waves, has a slightly unnatural face, but he quickly cheered up. This team needs confidence, and he is the cohesion point of the team's confidence. He can be arrogant, he can Overbearing, he can be vicious, he can do whatever he wants, but the only thing is, he can't be weak!
Even after burning all his passion, he must maintain his high fighting spirit!
"The game starts, players from both sides start to play."

In the broadcast room of CCTV5, Su Qun took the rosters of both sides and introduced the starting situation of each to the fans.

Cavaliers: Delonte West, Wally Szczerbiak, LeBron James, Ben Wallace, Zaidgunas Ilgauskas.

Celtics: Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins.

In the enthusiastic atmosphere of the audience, Garnett and Cavaliers center Ben Wallace were scrambling for the ball in the middle circle. Wallace's state has declined sharply this season, and Garnett is a well-known spring man in the league. With a lot of effort, Garnett came up and gave the ball to Rondo.

The Celtics' offense reached the Cavaliers' half court. Garnett took a big step outside the waist in the three-second zone on the right and Perkins got it in a small area under the left basket.Pierce ambushed in the left corner, and Ray Allen swam to the left, ready to support Rondo.

For the Cavaliers, a pair of insiders whose reputation is far greater than their strength, Garnett's advantage is obvious.

Rondo gave the ball in after halftime, and Garnett immediately slid to the baseline and made a strong cut. One step swayed away from the big Z, and he jumped up and shot before the much slower Ben Wallace came up to defend.

Garnett's shooting is his most important means of scoring. This ball fell into the basket without any waves, and successfully fired the "first shot" of the war for the Celtics.

Cavaliers point guard West took the serve from the baseline and dribbled the ball quickly into the Celtics' half, but he didn't expect Rondo, who was defending himself, to defend very professionally, allowing Gibson to stop beyond the three-point line.

Seeing this, West immediately passed the ball. Well, in fact, whether there is defense or not, West has to give the ball to the "Emperor" first, and then the "Emperor" decides who to "reward".

Here, Pierce really raised all his defensive enthusiasm at this time. As soon as James received the ball, his defense immediately arrived, and Ray Allen was also wandering not far from James, ready to attack James at any time. Double-team or make up defense.

Almost since entering the NBA, James has become accustomed to being "entertained" by the opponent, so although the Celtics' defense is in place, he still chose to break through to the opponent's basket.

James moved, Pierce moved, and Ray Allen followed suit.

Pierce and Ray Allen are not like Arenas, who rely on "grandstanding" to become "superstars". Not only do they have the level of superstars in offense, but they are also not weak in defense.

As soon as James made a breakthrough, he was blocked tenaciously by the heavy-tonnage Pierce. With the threat of Ray Allen on his side, James had no choice but to pass the ball to Szczerbiak who was vacant.

Well, this is a fake action. After James used a fake action pass to distract the opponent's defensive attention, he made a quick shot, but this shot was short.Garnett at the basket grabbed the rebound.
