NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 156 The Yellow-Green War, the Celtics strike, it's a direct showdown! !

On December 12, US time, the Los Angeles Lakers headed to Boston for the first yellow-green battle of the new season.

Mention legendary teams in NBA history.

The grievances and entanglements between the Celtics and the Lakers cannot be written without hundreds of thousands of words.

All in all, every meeting between yellow and green can fill up the topic.

Especially this year.

The Celtics were poor throughout last season, but unfortunately missed the No. [-] pick. They failed to get the No. [-] pick and signed Lin Hong, but instead let their rivals get it.

In desperation, the Celtics could only select Iverson with the No. [-] pick, sold at a high price and realized it and got Jason Kidd + Eddie Jones!
The story between Lin Hong and the Celtics has also become a topic that fans talk about after dinner.

Tonight's battle between yellow and green caused the North Shore Garden auditorium, which had an attendance rate of less than [-]%, to be almost full today.

"Eldon, long time no see!"

of course.

The grievances between the teams will not affect the relationship between the players.

During the warm-up before the game, Eddie Jones took the initiative to find Campbell on the opposite side and say hello.

Life is really impermanent, the large intestine wraps the small intestine.

I was traded before I became the boss of the Lakers, what a fuck!

"Hi Eddie, long time no see."

Campbell responded with a smile: "It's a good life in Boston, after all, it is the core of the team."

My brother is heartbroken, which pot is not open and which pot to carry.

"Ha, it's okay!"

The corners of Eddie Jones' lips raised slightly, and he patted Campbell's back: "Dude, I won't show mercy today, just wait to be blown up by me!"

"Ha, I'm not afraid of you, come in if you can."

Eddie Jones was also very stubborn: "By the way, help me give Lin a word..."

"Tell him, I'm going to dunk him on the head today!!"

WTF?
so arrogant? !
Campbell is confused.jpg !
So far this season, there are too many players who want to dunk on Lin Hong.

Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s talk about the nearest one-Rain Man Kemp!

The final fate, that is a miserable word!
Eddie Jones is so inflated that he even wants to send a message to Lin Hong?

Crazy enough!
"Don't worry, I'll bring it."

Campbell gave Eddie Jones a sympathetic look: "Good luck."

But Campbell's eyes seemed to Eddie Jones to say: Brother, go all out and fuck him!

Back at the Lakers' warm-up half, Campbell went straight to Lin Hong and said in a low voice, "Lin, Eddie has something to tell you."

"Really? Then I'll talk to him now."

Lin Hong was warming up. When he heard this, he frowned. He immediately dropped the basketball and went to chat with Eddie Jones.

After all, Lin Hong had never seen Eddie Jones who wore a Celtics jersey instead of a Lakers jersey.

Eddie Jones is indeed a defensive vanguard. It's a pity not to tease him for the future.

"Lin, there's no need to go, he has already asked me to convey the message to you."

After Campbell reached out his hand to stop Lin Hong, he hesitated to speak and seemed in a dilemma. Finally, he gritted his teeth and took a vaccination:

"Brother, the following content is all the original words, I didn't add any embellishments."

"OK, then tell me."

To be honest, Lin Hong is also looking forward to it.

After all, not everything can make Campbell, a big man, so hard to say.

"Cough cough!"

Campbell adjusted his voice: "Lin, Eddie told me to tell you: He's going to knock you down today!"

"Ok?"

Lin Hong raised his head and glanced at Campbell meaningfully, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and secretly slandered in his heart: You are really Cao Pi's father-in-law weaving straw sandals——Father Zhen Ji can weave straw sandals!

Lin Hong felt that he was stabbed in the back by his teammates.

"Listen buddy, when I heard this sentence, I even gave that guy a few words for you, but guess what the kid said?"

Campbell was full of desire to survive, and explained in a serious manner: "He said: There is nothing to be afraid of from the Celestial Shark. I will dunk him on the head and tell him: Boston is not a good stubble!!"

"Are you sure that's what Eddie Jones said?"

Lin Hong looked at Campbell's serious look, and asked with a smile, "You really didn't make it up?"

"Of course, I guarantee in the name of God, this is absolutely what that kid said himself, without any modification!"

Campbell slapped his chest loudly: "Dude, you're in big trouble today!"

"That's it? No big deal."

Lin Hong shrugged with a smile: "It's a good thing that he dared to come in and challenge me."

It's so boring to put up a bad brigade in Boston and just abuse the food.

But add Eddie Jones' dunk challenge and it's even more fun! !

After all, as long as you are not blind, you can see that the Celtics have a very clear goal this season: to get Tim Duncan in the draft.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the players stood up from the bench and were ready to play.

In front of the Lakers bench, everyone surrounded Lin Hong with their hands clasped together.

He looked around at everyone, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, what should we do when we meet the Celtics..."

Having said that, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted with all his strength: "Don't hesitate, beat him up!"

"Hit him! Hit him..."

Everyone shouted in unison, and the few Lakers fans in North Shore Garden also shouted with all their might.

"Shh!"

In order to suppress the momentum and morale of the arch-rival, the Celtics fans booed everywhere without any hesitation, and completely drowned out the Lakers' voices in an instant like a mudslide.

"Hit him! Hit him..."

Although the voice of the Lakers is like duckweed without roots in the water, although it has no roots and drifts with the current, it still exists and does not disappear.

"The Celtics' starting lineup for this game is: Jason Kidd, Eddie Jones, Eric Williams, Marty Conlon, Dino Radia."

"The Lakers still sent a familiar starting lineup, they are Fisher, Kobe, Kersey, Campbell and Lin Hong."

"On paper, the Celtics are better equipped at guard than the Lakers."

"The Celtics build their team with Kidd and Jones in the backcourt, which will have a huge impact on the Lakers' guard line.

And the Lakers rely on Lin Hong, the inside killer, to penetrate the Celtics' penalty area defense."

In the CCTV studio, Zhang Lili was talking eloquently, analyzing the pros and cons of the two teams' lineups.

"Dududu!!!"

The game officially started.

Lin Honghe jumped the ball with a height of 2 meters and Dino Radia.

Although the height is not much different, but after all, he is just an unknown and mediocre second-round pick, facing Lin Hong who has the peak shark talent.

The difference is obvious.

Lin Hong easily won the jump ball.

Fisher dribbles across half court.

Everyone else pulled away, and Lin Hong squeezed away Dino Radia, who was blocking in front of him, and made an air cut from the top of the arc to the basket.

Outside, when Bryant was near the top of the arc, Jones stuck in front of him.

On the left, Fisher plays close to the left line, with Eddie Jones playing against him.

On the right side, Kersi is lying in ambush outside the three-point line, ready to catch the ball and shoot.

Campbell's activity area is near the right bottom corner. Marty Conlon, who is facing him, put him two meters directly, standing near the paint area, firmly guarding the green army's penalty area.

Eddie Jones opened his arms, lowered his center of gravity, followed Kobe's advance, and retreated and defended.

The fierce and focused eyes clearly revealed his defensive attitude.

In the Espn commentary booth, the commentator said: "The Lakers have stretched the front line very wide. It is almost impossible for the Celtics to double-team on the outside. This is a test of the Celtics' individual defensive capabilities."

At this moment, Lin Hong had already touched the basket quickly, and Radia chose to circle forward, and he could only circle forward with this body.

He is the outer skin of a power forward, but his style of play is a space-based insider. He is 2 meters tall, but his tonnage is only 11 kilograms, which is more than 102 kilograms behind Lin Hong.

With such a tonnage, Lin Hong could only be defended by going around.

In terms of moving speed and footsteps, he will not be faster than Lin Hong, and his jumping is even farther away.

All in all, apart from being close in height, he is useless in front of Lin Hong.

Therefore, the effect of going around the front will not be very good.

Kobe, who was watching from the top of the arc, did not hesitate. He seized the moment when Jones retreated, and suddenly dribbled to the left. After shaking Jones' center of gravity, he suddenly had a bad luck.

After pulling the ball up with his right hand, he pushed forward with one hand, and the ball flew straight to the basket.

"Bryant, pass the ball!"

The narrator shouted.

"Snapped!"

Lin Hong stuck his left elbow in place, pushed Radia outside firmly, then took off, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and turned around with a dunk.

"Bang!"

While the rim was trembling, the basketball went through the rim.

"Good job!"

On the Lakers bench, Big Ben, Scott and others instantly cheered and waved towels.

In the stands, a large number of Lakers fans continued to applaud and cheer.

"Hit him, but when will I be able to play?"

Big Ben couldn't help muttering.

"Beautiful! The Lakers started, and the Lin Ke team played alley-oops."

The Espn commentator shouted excitedly.

"The Celtics can't defend Lin in the low post. As long as the ball can be thrown in, they really can't defend!"

"Nice!!"

The moment the goal was scored, the commentary partner excitedly shouted his signature commentary.

"As we said just now, the Celtics have the ability to suppress the Lakers' outside offense and even destroy the Lakers' outside organization.

However, if the connection between the Lakers' internal and external lines cannot be cut off, then the ball in Lin's hands is basically the same as sending points. "

The commentator echoed excitedly: "That's right, if the Celtics can't limit Lin Hong's attack in the low post, then what awaits them is a loss."

Offensive and defensive transition, the Celtics attack.

Kidd began to advance with the ball, and Fisher defended. As soon as he crossed the center line, he gave the ball to Eddie Jones on the strong side three-point line.

Eddie Jones is at 45 degrees from the left-wing three-point line, guarded by Bryant.

Kidd responded at any time at the top of the arc, and Fisher did not dare to be careless.

Radia stands on another strong side, but it is a pity that he does not have a strong low-post offensive ability, which is the only point of dissatisfaction with coach ML-Kyle.

Moreover, the Celtics couldn't find a strong low-post player, so they could only put Radia on top and make the best use of everything.

Since Lin Hong and Campbell are two behemoths guarding the Lakers' penalty area, and the Celtics' inside line is relatively weak, they can only hope to attack from the outside line.

On the weak side, Rick Fox and Marty Conlon are running and trying to get open on the pick-and-roll.

After Rick Fox received the ball, Dino Radia suddenly cut to the left corner, and the former immediately passed the ball to the left corner.

When Radia took the ball, Lin Hong could only keep up with one step, getting farther and farther away from the paint area, making it more difficult to return to the basket.

At the same time, Eddie Jones got rid of Kobe who was sticking to the defense through Marty Conlon's pick-and-roll and got a chance to cut inside.

Seeing this, Kersey quickly switched defenses, but was still half a beat too late, and was successfully cut into the paint by Eddie Jones.

"Whoosh!"

Dino Radia suddenly took a step up and quickly passed the ball in.

Although Lin Hong quickly took a step upwards, his fingers failed to touch the ball, and he quickly turned back to defend the basket, but it was too late.

"boom!"

Jones caught the ball and kicked the ground violently, and it was a folding dunk that hit the Lakers' basket.

"WoooW!"

Huge cheers erupted from North Shore Gardens.

"Nice!!"

The commentator yelled again and said excitedly: "Beautiful! This is a bit like a battle between yellow and green. Using tactics + cutting inside from the weak side, the Celtics successfully tore open the Lakers' penalty area."

The commentary partner said loudly in a passionate tone: "Yes, the Celtics' strategy is too clear this time. Sure enough, they will be excited once they beat the Lakers. I hope it is not a flash in the pan!"

"In contrast, the Lakers' ball is a bit careless, and we must ensure the oppression of the defensive players."

On the court, the Lakers began to advance.

Before Bryant reached the center line, he transferred the ball to the fisher Fisher on the left.

At this time, Lin Hong had already fallen to the low position, and Radia continued to move forward.

Lin Hong gestured at Fisher, who immediately dropped the ball in.

The position of the pass is a little bit inward, close to the basket.

At the moment Fisher passed the ball, Lin Hong turned around fiercely and quickly cut towards the basket.

While turning around and cutting in, he pushed his right elbow out calmly to prevent Ladia from chasing and defending, and pressed his opponent with his right hand when turning around.

These are some small methods he summed up, the effect is good, and it has a great effect on offense and offensive rebounds.

Sure enough, when Radia wanted to catch up, he was suddenly pushed in the stomach. With Lin Hong's strength, he was pressed down directly, and he could only watch helplessly as his opponent rushed into the paint.

Marty Conlon on the weak side tried his best to return to the defense as fast as he could, kicking off the ground to block the block.

But his jumping is not as good as Lin Hong's. Coupled with the huge gap in height and wingspan, the defensive height is quite different, barely reaching Lin Hong's elbow.

"boom!"

With a diving one-arm dunk, the 102-kilogram Matty Conlon was the first to be hit and flew in the air and fell to the ground like a rag.

"Dudududu!"

The whistle in the referee's mouth blew.

"Nice!!"

The commentator roared excitedly: "The Lakers played a simple coordination, the ball transfer was very fast, and they obviously didn't want to give the Celtics a chance to drop.

As long as the ball can get to Lin's hands, the Celtics basically have nothing to do. "

The commentary partner laughed: "Whether it's Eddie Jones or Jason Kidd, although they are both top-notch perimeter defenders, they can't stop the passing of rookies Bryant and Derek."

The commentator nodded and said with a smile: "Derek Fisher is mature and strong, and Kobe Bryant is extremely fast. Under one-on-one defense, the ball can still be done."

"Conversely, the Celtics' interior defense is too weak, and with the current defensive strength, Lin can't consume much energy at all.

If he can't make adjustments in time, Lin can keep playing until the Celtics cry. "

The commentary partner laughed: "No matter how strong the other positions are, as long as one point is always blown up, there is no way to do it, and it will be extremely uncomfortable."

Lin Hong stood on the free throw line and made a steady hit with the extra penalty.

5: 2.

The Lakers lead away by 3 points and the Celtics attack.

This time the Celtics switched to the right wing, and Eddie Jones, Fox, and Kidd formed an outside iron triangle.

On the weak side lie Williams and Dino Radia.

After Kidd advanced to the top of the arc, he passed the ball to Williams on the weak side.

The commentator immediately explained: "Jason Kidd's ball is very smart, the ball doesn't have to be on the strong side, it can also be on the weak side.

Now that Eric Williams holds the ball, with his singles ability, the Lakers must shift more defensive power to the left wing, so the right wing will inevitably be empty, after all, there are three Celtics ambushing there. "

While he was explaining, the Lakers defender on the right started to shift to the left.

For example, Kersey at the top of the arc is moving towards Jones, trying to double-team.

At this time, Williams on the weak side of the right wing suddenly went down and made a pick-and-roll with Radia. He went to the low post, and the latter ran to the high post.

After Campbell and Kersey switched defenses, the two formed a dislocation advantage at the same time.

Eddie Jones plays big with small size, has footwork and speed, immediately throws off Campbell after the pick-and-roll, quickly cuts to the basket, and at the same time asks for the ball from the strong side.

Radia plays big and small. He can single-play Corsi at the corner of the weak side, and he is also reaching out for the ball.

"Not good, worse!"

The commentator just said that Kidd passed the ball, one open, one misplaced, not to Radia, but to Williams.

Seeing this, Lin Hong directly dropped the defender and chose to return to the basket.

His quick return to defense did pose a threat to Williams.

Looking at Lin Hong who was rushing towards him like a wolf like a tiger, Williams did not choose to make a strong attack. After receiving the ball, he directly passed the ball to Radia in the opposite corner.

Radia received the ball, took off calmly, and made a mid-range jumper.

Under the basket, Lin Hong was stuck in his position, and Williams behind him couldn't get close to the basket at all. At this time, Eddie Jones from the outside also rushed in to fight for the offensive rebound, but Lin Hong elbowed him behind him.

"Backboard!"

In front of the Celtics bench, coach ML-Kyle shouted loudly.

"boom!"

The basketball bounced out of the basket, and Lin Hong caught it with one against two.

"Ugh!"

There were no open seats, and there was a huge sigh in the North Shore Garden Arena.

"Whoosh!"

The moment it landed, Lin Hong threw the ball directly to Peter Pan, who turned around and went down quickly. After the latter caught the ball, he killed the center line in two steps.

The commentator shouted loudly: "The Lakers fast break and counterattack, Bryant goes down quickly, Eddie rushes in to grab a rebound, the position is too deep, and the chase is too late..."

On the right wing of the front court, Kobe held the ball to the three-point line and cut the paint diagonally. At this time, Kidd, who rushed to the horse, quickly flew over. Kobe pushed the ball and passed the latter.

Kidd hurriedly stopped and turned around. After receiving the ball, Fisher had rushed past him, jumped up, and completed a layup.

"Beautiful! Lin Hong [-]-on-[-] grabbed the backcourt rebound, and Bryant directly launched a fast-break counterattack and assisted Derek to complete the layup.

The Lakers 7:2, leading by 5 points. "
