Chapter 778 Rivers' Honey Confidence

"Doug, last season you guys got swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs.

"The first game of the new season, you meet again."

"Do you have the confidence of revenge in this game?"

On the sidelines, the reporter conducted a pre-match interview with Celtics head coach Doc Rivers.

Rivers nodded decisively, and pointed to Shaquille O'Neal who was warming up on the field. "ninety-eight"

"See? This is the sharp weapon we use to deal with Zi."

Following the direction of his fingers, the reporter couldn't help frowning slightly after seeing O'Neill.

"Are you sure the current Shaquille still has the ability to compete with Ziyi?"

"Let's not talk about him now, even in his prime, he wouldn't dare to say that he would be able to beat Zi, right?"

Doug Rivers did not deny the reporter's point of view, but continued: "Don't forget, we still have Kevin Garnett."

"The combination of him and Shaquille will definitely put some pressure on Zi."

"About that, I can vouch for it."

Doc Rivers looks very confident.

Subsequently, the reporter came to Phil Jackson and also interviewed him.

"Phil, I did an interview with Doc Rivers just now, and he said that Kevin Garnett and Shaquille O'Neal will cause trouble for the Purple, what do you think?

Hearing this sentence, almost made Phil Jackson laugh.

"Dude, Doug, did he really say that?"

"If that's the case, all I can say is that he doesn't know Zi at all."

"You know, I coached Shaquille in his prime many years ago. At that time, he was the absolute number one center in the league."

"And now, Zi Yuanye, whom I coach, is definitely the number one center forward in the league."

"So no one knows them better than I do."

"When comparing two top center forwards, I will choose Zi without hesitation."

"By the way, he said there is Kevin Garnett, right? You ask how many times he has been abused by Zi?"

A few minutes later, the pre-match warm-up was over, and the starting lineups of both sides were released.

Celtic starters:

Point Guard: Rajon Rondo

Score: Jeff Green

Small Forward: Paul Pierce

Power Forward: Kevin Garnett

Center: Shaquille O'Neal

Cavaliers starters:

Point Guard: Mike Bibby

Score: Larry Hughes

Small Forward: Mike Miller

Power Forward: Hassan Whiteside

Center: Zi Yuanye

When seeing the Cavaliers put on this starter, many fans were a little disappointed..

They thought Paul George was at least in the starting lineup, after all, he performed so well in summer league and preseason.

But Phil Jackson has his own considerations. After all, Paul George is a rookie. If he is put in the starting position rashly, maybe the original starting player will be dissatisfied

This is also the result of his many years of coaching experience.

And by arranging Paul George to play in the second team, his chances will be more.

Because the absolute core of Zi Yuanye is in the starting lineup, Paul George will not play so freely.

As for Whiteside's ability to enter the starting lineup, it is also because Anderson Wa 3.7 Rejo, who was injured last season, is still recovering.

His injury was more serious than imagined, so that he has not recovered yet.

"Beep!"

The opening whistle blows and the game officially begins.

Double reverse jump ball in the middle circle.

Zi Yuanye VS Shaquille O'Neal

Seeing O'Neill's out-of-shape figure in front of him, Zi Yuanye was still a little moved.

He really wanted to compete with the peak shark, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance. .
