Chapter 781 Who Is The Real Protagonist
May NO.30, seven o'clock in the evening.
In the Golden One Center in Saskatchewan, more than 2 fans cheered wave after wave. The pre-match ceremony for the first game between the Kings and the Celtics was being held. Grammy Best R&B singer Beyoncé led the singing of the national anthem. Someone kneeled on the sidelines in protest.
With the final treble falling, the announcer loudly announced that Green Kai was starting to enter the field, namely Thomas from the University of Washington, Jaylen Brown from the University of California, Berkeley, Josh Jackson and Marcus Morris from the University of Kansas, and Al Horford from Florida and finally head coach Brad Stevens from Indiana.
Boos broke out simultaneously in the arena.
The announcer followed up with the announcement that the king was starting the game, and the boos suddenly turned into cheers. Compared with introducing the Celtics players with college and hometown titles, each player of the king has a championship title, and Curry has a series of titles, such as It's singing RAP.
In the ESPN live broadcast seat, Van Gundy said: "Just now I saw many fans discussing on Twitter how many games the Celtics can resist. The Walters..."
Jackson shook his head again and again: "I don't agree with that statement. At least in terms of swingers, Hayward is better than Brogdon or Tatum. Although he was arranged to play off the bench, I don't know what the purpose of Coach Stevens is. , but that is an unchangeable fact. In addition, at the center position, Cousins and Horford have things that the other side cannot do, and they will not be defeated..."
During the conversation, the central large screen shot was shown to the north stand, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, two die-hard Boston Celtics fans, with Celtics president Danny Ainge, and owner Vic Bello, The four stood among the many Kings fans wearing uniform T-shirts, making them look like a flat boat in the sea, which may be submerged by the vast crowd at any time.
The host Brin laughed: "I heard that the four of them, Matt Damon, spent a week buying second-hand platforms, and only spent three times the price to buy four tickets. They flew to Saskatchewan to support Boston's two away games. Staying in a hotel and receiving special care…”
During the conversation, the appearance ceremony ended.
The long whistle sounded, and the game entered the final preparations.
Su Yang clapped his hands and called the whole team to surround him, and shouted: "Remember, the only strong point of the opponent is the mid-range shooting. We must resolutely execute the delay or partial flanking. The open three-pointer can let them shoot first. See Let’s talk about the situation!” Green Kai’s starters all have a mid-range distance, and Coach Stevens also likes to design pick-and-roll tactics, so we must pay attention.
Curry and others nodded in response, and then the whole team raised their right hands together, punching fists and shouting 123 in unison.
The short whistle sounded, and the two teams started to enter the field and stood still.
Su Yang felt something in his heart, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Team Kai, and found that Stevens was also looking at him. His seemingly calm eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he immediately responded with a slight smile, and Stevens He also smiled, as if announcing something silently.
The director accurately captured the two people looking at each other, and directly streamed the display, and the fans on the scene screamed or shouted.
On the live broadcast, Van Gundy was full of envy: "I was so concerned by thousands of people back then. To be honest, I hope the Celtics can beat the Kings. It's not because I hate the Kings, but because I want to see more coaches. Championship honor."
Jackson chuckled: "In fact, compared to many coaches, Stevens is the protagonist of the movie. He has no famous career experience. He quit his sales job to become the video coordinator of Butler University based on his own hobbies, and then soon Became the head coach of Butler University and led the team to the Crazy Three finals. Although he failed to reach the top, he received an invitation from the NBA noble team Boston and became the head coach of the NBA team again. Many players were born coaches. He hasn't had any glory in his life."
Brin answered: "If Stevens is the protagonist of the movie, then what is Su Yang, who is younger and has more achievements?"
Van Gundy and Jackson fell silent for a moment.
In embarrassment, the announcer shouted for a jump ball, and the referee threw the ball into the air. Cousins jumped up and touched the ball first.
The basketball was forced to fly to the king's half court, Antetokounmpo received it in his hand and pushed forward, the king's five-out formation started, the left winger handed over the ball, Brogdon pushed to the right, and then passed 45 degrees to the right Curry after Tatum finished the cross screen.
Cheers erupted in the arena. After the cross, Bro ran to the right corner and made a wide screen. Cousins took the opportunity to get rid of Horford, rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and blocked Thomas Jr. , forming a RAM cover.
Curry immediately moved to the right with the ball, and it was difficult for Thomas Jr. to squeeze through the screen to catch up, and Horford rushed to grab it.
Seeing this, Cousins turned around and cut in, raised his hand to catch the pass from Curry, raised his hand and swayed Morris, who was shrinking to defend on the left, and then passed the ball to the basket synchronously, while Antetokounmpo who was synchronously cutting in Catch the ball and take off, aim at the basket with both hands, and make a dunk.
"Yeah!" Cheers resounded in the arena.
Su Yang applauded along with the audience. The king started the attack with a five-out formation to prevent the Celtics from making an early switch for Thomas Jr., and then connected with Brogdon and Tatum's left and right interspersed with a wide range of running, hiding The RAM screen cooperation of Brogdon and Cousins, followed by the pick-and-roll of Cousins and Curry, and the short roll cooperated with Antetokounmpo to end.
All five of the Kings are involved in tactics, and the Celtics have nothing to do, especially when Thomas Jr. is facing the ball holder.
While thinking about it, Team Kai launched a counterattack.
Starting with an inside and four outside formation, Thomas Jr. lifted up to catch the ball, and then cooperated with Morris, who was also raised up, to initiate a pick-and-roll on the left wing, but it was just a show, and Thomas Jr. had already accelerated Start, the outbreak is super strong.
I saw Thomas Jr. blinked to the free throw line, faced Brogdon shrinking and intercepting, hurriedly raised his hand and threw the ball to the left wing.
Jaylen Brown took the ball and raised his hands high to try to shoot, but Brogdon returned to the defense very quickly, so he had to make a breakthrough instead.
There is not much time left in the attack, and the rest of the Kings are man-to-man and standing around the front. It is difficult for Jaylen Brown to pass the ball, so he can only rush forward. When he reached the center, he had to stop and join the ball in a hurry.
Seeing that he was about to throw the ball, Brogdon raised his hand and slapped it fiercely, hitting basketball with a slap, Jaylen yelled a foul.
The referee ignored it, and the basketball fell halfway under the force. Cousins jumped up and grabbed the rebound, and the Kings launched a counterattack.
Cheers erupted in the arena, Antetokounmpo charged with the ball, successfully attracted the encirclement at 45 degrees to the right, stopped suddenly and turned and threw the ball 45 degrees to the left, while Tatum caught the ball, took off from a small open space, and faced Josh Jackson Make up defense, raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.
The basketball went into the net hollow, 5 to 0.
In the ESPN live broadcast, Van Gundy said: "Boston does not have Leonard or Gay. No one can block Giannis alone. They must use a double-team strategy to limit it. The other players of the Kings can get a lot of opportunities for easy three-pointers..."
Jackson nodded: "As long as the king feels smooth at the beginning, he can easily control the game. Boston is very difficult."
In the transition of offense and defense on the field, Josh Jackson dribbled the ball to the right wing, then passed it long to Horford on the left at 45 degrees, then received a pass back and used Thomas to pretend to cover, smoothly squeezed to the right waist, and began to single out the tower with his back. Tom is very brave.
It's a pity that I can't stand at all, and I don't know why it was arranged that way. I can only turn around in a hurry, take off and lean back, and I was disturbed by Cousins who moved laterally. Initiate a quick counterattack.
Cheers erupted in the arena, the right wing of the front court formed an early screen, and the Celtics Morris and Horford decisively teamed up to double-team.
Cousins then disassembled the outer bullet, received the pass from the 45-degree three-point line on the right, ignored Jackson's lunge, and raised his hand for a long shot.
bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 8 to 0.
The center shot was immediately shown to Coach Stevens on the bench of the Celtics, and he raised his hand to command, and the shot was shown to Su Yang on the Kings bench, with his hands on his hips and a trace of "can be seen" hanging from the corner of his mouth. I'm awesome' arrogant smile.
Inside the Celtics round.
Xiaotuo held the ball across the half court, and the LOGO position quickly shifted to the 45-degree three-point line on the left with the help of Morris' early back cover. Morris, but the throw was too high and missed.
The basketball flew out of the sideline, and the referee whistled for a violation.
The two teams switched possession of the ball, and cheers erupted.
There is no way, Antetokounmpo's height and wingspan are there, and Curry is chasing after him. If he wants to pass the ball steadily, the normal method and the rebound of hitting the ground are too risky, so he can only choose a long pass, and Morris Jr. There is also a problem. I didn't run far to leave room.
The King then kicked off the bottom line to attack.
Curry took the ball and ran to the right wing of the frontcourt, passed it to Antetokounmpo at the top of the arc, and Antetokounmpo then passed to Tatum at a 45-degree left, then turned around and stood on the fixed wall, making a cross for Curry who was running towards him. Blocking the screen, Tatum immediately passed the ball back.
Curry received the ball and stood still, raised his hands high and passed a pass to Antetokounmpo, who was stuck in the right elbow area, then turned and ran to the left, and together with Tatum, formed a step-by-step screen at the left elbow and the 45-degree area on the left , Brogdon in the bottom corner on the left took the opportunity to start.
Jaylen Brown made a wrong judgment and chose to go around the screen to intercept Brogdon's inside cut, but Brogdon ran to the left 45-degree three-point line, stopped abruptly and raised his hand to receive the pass from Antetokounmpo, and rushed towards him Throw a three-pointer and the basketball hollow line goes into the net.
The arena cheered again, 11 to 0.
The referee's whistle sounded simultaneously, and the Celtics requested a timeout. Stevens was no longer as calm as before.
In the live broadcast, Van Gundy chuckled: "I think the debate about how many games the Celtics can resist at the beginning can already be announced. Curry and Giannis didn't even make any effort, they just launched an attack as a support. Already beat the Celtics to pieces, I guess the timeout comes back, the Celtics will strengthen the perimeter defense, and then Giannis and Cousins …”
