The Celtics' Big Three successfully won the championship in their first season, and they defeated their old rivals, the Lakers.

In the words of fans: The Green Army's light shines on the league, and Onibach's soul can rest in peace.

But for three old guys, how can one champion be enough?

No matter what, there must be two.

Especially for Garnett.

If you want to compete for the best power forward in history, how can you do it without a FMVP in your career!

Therefore, the Celtics' performance is still outstanding, ranking second in the Eastern Conference behind the Cavaliers, who are ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

Their current goal is naturally to catch up with the Knights.

A piece of news: The Cavaliers just defeated the Magic 103-89.

After the Cavaliers traded for O'Neal, many people were worried about his compatibility with James, including many well-known media figures.

But in fact, O'Neal has never partnered with a superstar who is not good at outside shooting. The last Wade was a breakthrough superstar.

Therefore, the key to his partnership with James is not the so-called compatibility issue, but his own status.

Facts have also proved that Lin Ying's judgment is accurate. O'Neal is in excellent form this season. He still suppressed the peak Howard in the game!

This wave of Cavaliers has put a lot of pressure on the Celtics, and they also need a victory to stabilize their fluctuating military morale.

The Nuggets, who had just experienced chaos and transactions, were the ones who hit the gun.

A very crucial game for both sides.

The next night, the North Shore Garden Arena was packed.

The logos and KT boards of the Big Three can be seen everywhere in the arena, which shows how hot the ball market in Boston is today.

Although Boston is not a big city like Los Angeles and New York, its glorious history gives basketball an unparalleled influence in this city.

Especially when the Big Three won the championship again after 22 years, the city's basketball atmosphere once again reached its peak.

Yeah, it's a lush green area.

Lin Ying felt a lot of pressure.

No wonder the Celtics have such a high home winning percentage.

If you’re not afraid of green, what are you afraid of?

During the appearance ceremony, Lin Ying once again saw Garnett's exclusive combo entrance method with his head on the basket, beating his chest and roaring.

Still so...

Iron-blooded.

After the entrance ceremony, the two teams came out.

Nuggets: Billups, Dundee Jones, Anthony, Lin Ying, Nene

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

Jump ball from Nene and Garnett.

As soon as the whistle blew, Nene moved the ball back to half court, and the Nuggets took the lead in attacking.

Billups controlled the ball and pushed forward steadily, pushing his butt against Rondo to prevent him from being intercepted, and then signaled Anthony to move into singles.

He gives the ball very quickly, and after giving the ball, he backs away early.

Unexpectedly, Billups already knew Anthony so well in the Nuggets' first game.

"Dang!"

Anthony's first attempt missed.

At his peak, Pierce was one of the top five small forwards in the league and was very strong on both offense and defense.

Even without the Celtics' strong defensive system, he would still be uncomfortable for Anthony one-on-one.

Especially since Anthony hasn't gained weight yet.

However, the Celtics' fast break did not start. Billups retreated early and directly blocked Rondo's fast break.

I have to say, competition experience is really a good thing.

Lin Ying was also observing carefully.

And what he sees is different from others.

Duncan told him before that he should judge when to attack and when to pass.

But because this is based on experience, more can only be accumulated through competition.

So this wave of Billups is giving him on-the-spot teaching.

Moving into position, the Celtics also played their signature off-the-ball positional warfare tactics.

It's just... useless.

If you just look at the highlights, you will think Rivers is a tactical genius.

However, in fact, the Celtics' tactical tactics in positional warfare are so few that they can even be summarized into three strategies:

Ray Allen off the ball, Pierce singles, and Pierce and Garnett's pick-and-roll.

This is also the main reason why the Celtics average low points per game.

The Celtics under Rivers are obviously a defensive team.

Of course, you can't say that using the Big Three is wrong, after all, they already have a championship in hand.

Nene protects the defensive rebound.

Garnett immediately stepped forward to press, and the Celtics quickly retreated to the backcourt.

The key to tonight's game is still how to break through the Celtics' defense.

Billups reached out and signaled Lin Ying to play an off-ball pick-and-roll for Jones.

The Celtics switch defenses very quickly, and Garnett has the ability to defend from one to five.

However, Billups then signaled Lin Ying to drop low, and then fed the ball in.

The most common tactic used by the Nuggets this season: Lin Ying’s misplaced roll call.

It's just that the way it is initiated is very unique.

It can be said to be a false shot, or it can be said to be a progressive tactic, and the effect is very good.

Moreover, the defensive capabilities of the five Celtics on the field are all excellent, and Ray Allen is a relatively easy breakthrough point.

The Celtics attacked directly.

Pierce quickly came over from the weak side to help defend.

Lin Ying immediately distributed the ball to Anthony.

However, the Celtics' defense was really too fast. Anthony had just received the ball and Garnett had already switched defenses.

Anthony transformed into Pixiu but couldn't get out, and he swayed past Garnett for a layup.

"Bang!"

He was directly slapped by Garnett!

Garnett reacted quickly after grabbing the defensive rebound and directly promoted the defensive counterattack.

Fortunately, Billups reacted quickly enough and committed an early foul the moment Rondo held the ball.

Ray Allen, who was already about to leave, ran away in vain.

Although this wave of fouls was correct, it also cost Billups a foul.

Nearly 2 minutes into the game, the Nuggets didn't score a point, and Anthony also made consecutive shots to no avail.

Billups brings some experience to the Nuggets, but nothing much seems to have changed.

But the next second, the change came.

When the Celtics went to serve the ball in the backcourt, he pulled Anthony to communicate.

He is not talking about Anthony's offensive choices, nor is he saying that Anthony should move without the ball, but... his offensive positioning!

"When Lin is holding the ball, you need to keep a distance of more than 3 meters from him. At that distance, Garnett will not have time to change defense, and you can score easily."

This wave is very thin!

And, it hits the nail on the head.

After Anthony listened...

Nod!

Lin Ying was nearby at this time, and he was not surprised by Anthony's reaction.

Because what Billups said is indeed the simplest but most effective.
