Godfather of basketball: coach Dayao to win the championship

Chapter 308 The competition officially begins!Celtics score first

After hearing Barkley's shout, Smith on the side hurriedly looked down at the starting lists submitted by the two teams.

After repeated confirmation, Smith also said very puzzled: "It's actually true!"

"Dayao didn't even start!"

"Not only that, Kurt Thomas didn't start the game either!"

"Why is this?! I didn't hear any news about the two being unwell before the match?!"

Barkley on the side frowned tightly, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "Could it be that the Knicks and Han Ning think that today's opponent is not too strong, so there is no need for Dayao and Kurt Thomas to start?!"

"But although the Celtics are not a top team, they are not a weak team after all, right?!"

Smith followed Barkley's words and said: "Or, is the Knicks trying to test some new tactics?!"

"But their bet with the Spurs is not over yet! The recent record of the Spurs is quite good. If they try some new tactics now, it will not be a good thing for their bet with the Spurs, right?! "

After thinking about it for a long time, Smith's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said quickly, "Could it be that there is some conflict within the Knicks team?!"

"I really can't figure out why Dayao and Kurt Thomas didn't appear in the starting list for this game."

"You know, the back-to-back schedule is over! Even if it's for the rotation to ensure the physical strength of the players, it shouldn't be the rotation for this game! The Celtics are not a soft persimmon!"

Barkley and Smith at this time.

In other words, the vast majority of fans don't think the Celtics will be a weak team.

After all, they reached the Eastern Conference finals in the 2001-2002 season!

Only Han Ning knew that it was the last glory of the Celtics in recent years.

Since that season, the Celtics have fallen pretty fast.

This season, the Celtics will eventually rank No.8 in the Eastern Conference points, break into the playoffs, and eventually be defeated by the Pacers, completing the experience of the first round of the playoffs.

In the original historical process, the Celtics' points ranking is not as strong as the original Knicks!

The original Knicks were ranked No.7!

And two years later, the Celtics couldn't even make the playoffs.

It directly became the bottom team in the Eastern Conference!

Such a falling speed is also very unexpected.

But now, no one knows all this.

Not only Barkley and Smith were surprised by this.

Even Zhang Weiping, Su Dong and Huaxia fans in the Huaxia broadcast room were puzzled.

"Director Zhang, Dayao didn't start this game. Could it be because of some physical discomfort?! Or maybe Han Ning has some new tactical arrangements?!" Su Dong asked softly.

Zhang Weiping frowned tightly, thinking about it, but he couldn't come up with a reason.

I had no choice but to say in a deep voice: "I also don't understand Han Ning's arrangement. The Celtics are not a weak team. I hope this move will not affect the result of today's game!"

At this time, the thoughts of Huaxia fans are even simpler.

"Dayao won't come?! I just came to see Dayao!"

"Hey! I told you Dayao wouldn't start! I won't sneak over the wall to watch the game!"

"Let's go, I'm going to watch the Rockets game, Big Zhi is the starter for the Rockets!"

"Hey! I really don't know what Brother Ning is thinking, why didn't Dayao start?!"

"At first, I was struggling whether to watch the Knicks game or the Rockets game. This time, I don't have to worry about it! Go to the Rockets game first!"

..........

"beep!"

Under everyone's doubts, the whistle sounded and the game officially started.

Dikembe Mutombo fell for a jump ball with Celtics starting center Mark Blunt.

The ball was snatched by Mark Blunt, who then passed the basketball directly to Celtics starting point guard Mike James.

Mike James slowly dribbled the ball up the frontcourt, then passed the basketball directly to the current star of the Celtics, Paul Pierce.

Speaking of it, the current Celtics' tactics are actually very simple.

When Paul Pierce was on the court, he handed him the basketball and let him play singles.

Relying on Paul Pierce's extremely strong singles ability to score.

After Paul Pierce received the basketball, he launched an attack directly outside the three-point line at a 45° angle on the right.

Responsible for defending him is the Knicks starting small forward, Kyle Korver.

As we all know, Kyle Korver suffered a disadvantage when defending stronger players in the early stages of his career.

Even with the help and blessing of Han Ning, it is not possible to change this weakness all at once.

However, Paul Pierce's post-up singles can be called the top level of small forwards in the league.

So facing Kyle Korver's defense, Paul Pierce unceremoniously chose post-up singles directly.

One, two, three.

Bluntly, Kyle Korver entered the three-point line.

With a sudden force, Kyle Korver, who was defending him, was pushed directly to the distance.

Then Paul Pierce turned quickly, turned to the low post, and rushed towards the basket.

Seeing this scene, Mutombo and Zach Randolph wanted to rush over to defend.

But before the two of them could move, Paul Pierce stopped directly.

A dry pull, take off and shoot directly.

"Shh!"

The basketball flew into the basket cleanly.

The Celtics took the lead with two points.

The TD North Shore Garden Arena suddenly erupted.

Countless Celtic fans began to cheer for their home team players.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Hearing the shouts around him, Barkley couldn't help but shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Sigh! Kyle Korver's defensive ability is still a bit worse."

"Facing a top small forward like Paul Pierce, it's really embarrassing for this rookie player to be in charge of marking."

"But I still want to say that if Dayao had just stood inside, it might not have been so easy for Paul Pierce to score this goal."

"In terms of dominance in the interior and the ability to assist and supplement defense, Dayao is still much better than Zach Randolph and Mutombo!"

Standing not far away, Han Ning heard all Barkley's words.

But he didn't care at all.

So what if Paul Pierce scored a goal? !

If he has the ability, he will keep going!

As far as the Celtics are concerned, besides Paul Pierce, whose offensive ability is worthy of his attention? !

Was it alcoholic former All-Star Vin Baker? !

Or in the second half of this season, went to the Pistons to mix up a championship sticky ball master Mike James? !

Or is it the starting center Mark Blunt who is not introduced on Baidu Encyclopedia? !
