In the last game in November, the Lakers lost to the Jazz 99-101 away, suffering two consecutive losses.

Deron Williams scored 24 points and 11 assists, Boozer also scored a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds, and "ak47" Kirirenko also performed well, with 14 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks. Kobe made 10 of 24 shots, scoring 31 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Odom also scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, but he could only accept the bitter fruit of failure.

Lakers players tried their best to win the Jazz, and it was even more difficult to get to Boston. They had to fight even harder in the next game. If they lost three consecutive times, they would seriously damage their morale and their rankings would also decline. The Celtics took the initiative after a day off, waiting for their work. Whether it was physical strength or mentality, they were all active.

The Lakers only have one physically strong person, that is Ye Feng, who came from Los Angeles. After meeting the "Zen Master" Jackson, Jackson made it clear that he would give him a lot of playing time and he would help the team to the greatest extent.

The teammates arrived at the hotel in the middle of the night. Ye Feng greeted his teammates the next day. During lunch, he sat with Bynum. Seeing Bynum listless, he said lightly: "Look at your expression, it's very tiring to play away games in a row."

"Of course I've been tired. You haven't played back-to-back and your playing time is short. You'll know when you fly with the team a few times. I was criticized by the coach again in the last game. He blamed me for not playing tough enough." Bynum looked around and confirmed that no one came over and continued: "I can't get the ball at all, why do I get tough? Kobe played so much iron in the third quarter, so he didn't pass the ball to me."

Ye Feng watched the game and knew that the opponent was defending the joint defense. In this case, it was difficult to get the inside position. The Lakers' offensive focus was Kobe again, so he naturally would not arrange tactics to create a single opportunity for Bynum to catch the ball. Bynum only took 9 shots in the whole game, hit 4 goals, and scored 9 points in free throws, and only 5 rebounds were the ones Jackson was most dissatisfied with.

Bynum smiled and said, "Celtics' center Perkins is just a blue-collar worker. I wonder if the coach will use me as the core to attack him more."

"Don't underestimate the other party, Perkins is quite strong." Ye Feng smiled.

Perkins is not only strong, but his appearance is also very intimidating. His old face is full of vicissitudes of the struggle of the proletariat, as if the whole NBA owes him money. On the defensive end, he is also very skilled, not shaking or jumping casually, so he gives people the feeling of heavy floor flow. In fact, he jumps very high and can give him a big hat every game.

Bynum really can't deal with Perkins now. Ye Feng remembers that Perkins was still defending in the 2010 finals in his previous life, which was very uncomfortable. He scored 6 points and 1 rebound in the fifth game, and 2 points and 4 rebounds in the sixth game. Although Bynum had a knee injury at that time, Perkins' defensive role was also very obvious. If Perkins was not injured in the sixth game, it would be hard to say who won the championship.

That night, Ye Feng accompanied the team to visit North Bank Garden Stadium.

Many teams will make some tricks when the stars appear and stir up the atmosphere, but they are not as formal as the Celtics player appearance ceremony.

The players gathered on the bench, leaving only the green lights representing the Celtics. The big screen in the center of the stadium was playing a wonderful collection of the three giants. The players, according to their strength, first appeared on the bench, and the searchlights shone on whoever they introduced. Garnett lowered his head and sat on the bench to show off, and fisted his teammates one by one. Rondo was the fourth to last, followed by Ray Allen, Garnett was the second to last, and finally Paul Pierce, who had been playing for the Celtics. They got together, swung their fists and shouted, with a domineering attitude.

Lakers players are much more low-key when they appear. Only when they introduce Kobe, the audience will give a little applause.

The Celtic home commentator is Cedric Marksville, the legendary Celtic superstar nicknamed "Cornbread" and his old partner Sean Grand.

The two men began the game and introduced the strength comparison of the main players of both sides. Even if Kobe beats Pierce, it is hard to say that he has the advantage. They believe that the Celtics will undoubtedly win in this game.

In such a home atmosphere, the mentality of the visiting players is easily affected. It is said that a rookie had diarrhea before the game against the Celtics and went to the toilet several times.

Kobe had a serious expression, staring at the basket and moving his wrists. He didn't want to lose in this game anymore. As soon as Kobe entered the league, he met O'Neal and was used to winning. It was because he was used to winning that his desire to win was extremely strong.

Ye Feng sat on the bench, observing Radmanovic in a daze, and was yelling in his heart. He knew that there was no suspense that he would stay in the Lakers, but he didn't know how many opportunities he could get. If Radmanovic was injured when he went skiing during the All-Star Game, would he have a chance to become the starter? He knew the future, but would not remind Radmanovic. People have selfish intentions, and he couldn't remind him. Now that he said, the other party would not express gratitude, but would only feel like he was cursed.

Substitute small forward Luke Walton has not played well this season. Walton has just signed a 6-year, 30 million contract with the Lakers. He averaged 22 minutes per game, but only scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Three games in NBDL made Ye Feng full of confidence. He is confident that both offense and defense are better than Walton.

After the game started, the Celtics were very patient in their offense. The core players were older. They would try to control the rhythm and fight positional battles, so that they could quickly return to defense after shooting to ensure the defensive formation.

Rajon Rondo is responsible for bringing the ball to the frontcourt. This second-year rookie point guard who is only 185cm tall is lucky. He not only has become a right-hand man of the Big Three, but also is becoming the controller of the Celtics' offensive rhythm. His data has made a qualitative leap compared to last season, averaging 10.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

The Celtics' offensive strategy is to Garnett to cover the high position. After the pick-and-roll, Rondo dribbled the ball and made a layup, or passed the ball to find the Big Three. Rondo's speed can rank in the top five among the defenders. Fisher is just the opposite, probably the top five last. With such a simple pick-and-roll tactic, the Lakers struggled to defend. After Rondo passed the ball, Pierce and Garnett had strong personal singles skills, and it was difficult to defend one-on-one.

Ray Allen is relatively easy to deal with. He gets the opportunity to take action through active running, but his three-pointer made the Lakers afraid to compress the defensive system into the three-second zone. As soon as the formation was opened, Pierce played Radmanovic singles for a row, and scored 12 points in the first quarter.

The shooting percentages of both sides were not high in the first quarter, and the Celtics led by 7 points 24 to 17. In one-on-one situation, the Celtics players have strong single defense capabilities, and the Lakers' triangular offensive tactics were curbed.

7 points is not a big gap, but Odom suffered two fouls in the first quarter. Coupled with factors such as physical exhaustion, it is not easy for the Lakers to recover the gap. Whether the Lakers' second lineup can withstand it is the key to the outcome.

In the second half of the first quarter, Jackson sent Turiav to the field, and during the rest, he replaced Kwame, Brown, Walton, Vujasic, and Famal. Both sides were on the full substitute lineup to restore their strength.

The Lakers' starting lineup can compete with any strong team, but when they are on the bench, they are often chased continuously, which is the Lakers' biggest weakness. Strengthening the depth of the bench is also what they have been wanting to do over the years. There are several good people on the Celtics' bench, James Percy, Tony Allen, all great defensive players. Veteran Eddie House is a drawer, and it is also awesome when they make the shot.

After playing for three minutes, the Lakers made consecutive shots and scored no points. The Celtics' substitute offensive efficiency is not good, but the defense is very good. The Celtics' strong defense depends not only on single defense ability, but also on the entire defensive system. The defense progress is thanks to one person - Tom Thibodeau Thibodeau Thibodeau was originally the Rockets' number one assistant coach, and they worked with Jeff Van Gundy to build the Rockets' iron-blooded defense. Unfortunately, the Rockets didn't know anything. In order to improve their attack power, they invited Adelman and his coaching staff. Thibodeau was forced to run away, making the Celtics cheaper.

The Celtics focused their defense on the outside, staring at Walton, Vujasic and Famal three scoring points. Turiav and Kwamebron in the inside attack were rubbish and could not cause any storm.

The score widened to 30-17, and Jackson requested a timeout. If the Lakers still want to win, someone must stand up and break through the Celtics' steel defense line.

Jackson called Ye Feng to his side, and Ye Feng knew he was going to play. Jackson said seriously: "Ye Feng came on the court, Turiyaf is under, Ye must guard against the opponent's power forward. When the defender breaks through, pay attention to changing defenses, defend 32 joint defense, and keep a close eye on the outside."

"Yes." Ye Feng replied loudly. This was his first appearance. He was full of energy. Everyone else looked at him like a fool. He realized that he had interrupted the coach and hurriedly stepped down.

Jackson said again: "Farma and Walton will hang the ball to the inside on the offensive end, and Ye Feng will attack!"

Hearing this arrangement, the Lakers players were stunned. Ye Feng had just returned from NBDL and became the main attacker of the second lineup. Why did the coach believe him so much? However, the coach had to implement the arrangements.

Jackson's tactics are targeted. Now the Celtics' inside players are not fast except Garnett, and Ye Feng has an absolute speed advantage in singles. If you have a fast attack, Ye Feng will definitely not be able to keep up with the inside players when running.

Jackson drew a few strokes on the tactical board and said, "Ye, your strength is stronger and faster. No one else in the Celtics' inside line can keep up with you except Garnett. Use your low-post offensive methods to play as much as you want. If you encounter double-teams, find a nearby teammate to pass the ball. Can you do it? Famar is on the weak side, Vujasic is at the bottom corner. Brown covers at the high position, withdraws the inside line, Walton runs to find opportunities, and get on the court!"

Ye Feng played No. 4. When he came on the court, the Celtics also replaced him, and a fat man came up - Glenn Davis!
