Chapter 95 Against the Big Three

The Celtics formed the Big Three for the championship.Now they are finally standing on the stage of the finals. The big three have mixed feelings. This is the last battle for them to realize their dreams.

The Celtics' starting players are Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, and Rajon Rondo.The main substitutes include Tony Allen, James Posey, Sam Cassel, Eddie House, Leon Bowie, Glen Davis and others.

Whether starting or coming off the bench, the Celtics are strong.Adelman attaches great importance to the Celtics, so he put Wu Di in the starting lineup in the first game.

As a result, the Rockets' starting lineup became Dayao, Scola, Wu Di, McGrady, and Alstom.

Dayao lost the jump ball without exception, and the Celtics had the ball.Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, facing Alston's defense, Rajon Rondo handed the ball to Pierce to handle.

Although Garnett has the best statistics in the current Celtics, Pierce is still the head player. Both Garnett and Ray Allen came to assist Pierce.

Pierce is an all-round player with strong offense and defense, and he can also play point forward. He is a very remarkable player.

However, Pierce is now in a declining stage. He tried to break through Wu Di, but was pushed back by Wu Di.Pierce had an evaluation of Wu Di in his heart, and then handed the ball to Garnett inside.

Garnett got the ball, hit Scola with his back, and easily completed the offense.

The Rockets' No. [-] position is a weakness, but the Celtics' No. [-] position is a strong point, which makes the Celtics' lineup somewhat restrain the Rockets' lineup.

Conversely, the Rockets' No. [-] position is a strong point, and the Celtics' No. [-] position is a weakness.The Rockets' lineup also has some restraints against the Celtics, but Garnett is fast and defends well, and can defend Dayao.

In this way, whether he can attack the fifth position by force, he needs to play a few times before he can be sure.Perkins is a defensive player. When facing Dayao, he tried his best to defend, but Dayao's height made him far behind, and a hook made Perkins' defense useless.

Both sides scored one goal each and it was considered a tie.

In the second round, Rajon Rondo handed the ball to Pierce again, and Pierce handed it to Ray Allen again, wanting Ray Allen to play a single.

On the field of the finals, McGrady's eyes that could never be opened widened, staring at Ray Allen in front of him.After Ray Allen received the ball, he quickly posted it. Ray Allen tried to break through, but failed. McGrady showed amazing defensive ability.

In fact, many people have forgotten that McGrady was a defensive player when he first debuted.During the Raptors period, McGrady served as a substitute for his cousin Carter, relying on his excellent defense.It was only later that McGrady showed strong offensive ability, which made many people forget his defensive ability.

Now McGrady makes people sound again, and he also has a strong defensive ability.

Ray Allen couldn't open the situation, so he had to pass the ball to Rajon Rondo and let Rajon Rondo organize the offense.After Rajon Rondo received the ball, he immediately broke through to Alston, relying on his strong body, squeezed past Alston abruptly.

Alston's power is not as strong as Rajon Rondo, so he can only follow behind him and chase the inside.Dayao went up to meet him, and Alston double-teamed Jane Rondo.

Rajon Rondo immediately passed the ball from Dayao's crotch to Perkins. Perkins saw the ball passing and wanted to catch the ball for a dunk.

However, at this moment, a figure rushed over from the side, almost grabbing the basketball before Perkins could catch the ball.

When Perkins saw it, it turned out to be Rocket No. 6, that Chinese Wu.Perkins immediately went over to entangle, but Wu Di had already taken the ball and rushed forward.

Pierce immediately came to block him. He wanted to prevent Wu Di from rushing forward, so he kept squeezing Wu Di's advancing route with his body.

But as soon as Wu Di turned around, he went around behind him and rushed forward without slowing down.Pierce pursued closely, but still couldn't stop Wu Di from jumping and dunking. He didn't even have time to block the shot.

The Celtics suffered a loss and immediately became more cautious. Although Rajon Rondo was very unconvinced, he did not dare to rush into the penalty area rashly.

Next, the Celtics gave the ball to Garnett more often, and Scola could not stop Garnett from scoring.Dayao immediately went over to make up defense. Perkins was not good at shooting and could only hang around under the basket, which gave Dayao a chance to make up defense.

The Rockets' offense is not limited to Dayao alone, and McGrady and Wu Di are all scoring points.McGrady's strength is much stronger than Ray Allen's, and Wu Di's strength is also much stronger than Pierce's. Both of them can easily get rid of defenders, and scoring becomes much easier.

The Celtics' starting lineup is an offensive lineup. In addition to the inside, the three outside players are all offensive players. Although they have certain defensive capabilities, they have little effect on Tracy McGrady and Wu Di. For the Rockets, this is An offensive lineup.

The Rockets are a defensive lineup, especially after McGrady defends seriously, the Rockets' defensive strength has been upgraded to a higher level.Pierce and Ray Allen on the outside didn't have many offensive opportunities at all, so they could only rely on Garnett alone.

Many people say that offense wins fans and defense wins championships.A championship team must have a strong defense. According to this condition, the Rockets are even more champion-like.

Pierce's offensive ability is not as strong as that of Anthony or Kobe. Pierce is extremely uncomfortable under Wu Di's defense. He finds that this Chinese Wu just restrains him.

When I think about it, when I read the information, the Rockets fans called Wu Di the superstar nemesis. Now it seems that he is not a vain name, but a real talent.

Pierce was silent, and Ray Allen didn't have too many opportunities. When the Celtics attacked, Rajon Rondo and Garnett were busy. This situation made Celtics fans very dissatisfied.

The Celtics have a better regular season record than the Rockets, so the first game is held at the Celtics' home court.The sidelines were filled with fans, and they suddenly discovered that two of the Big Three, who were invincible in the regular season, were eliminated.

This discovery made them very dissatisfied. They kept shouting the names of Pierce and Ray Allen, asking them to stand up and score.

Ray Allen was also angered by McGrady. He took the basketball from Rajon Rondo and started to beat McGrady alone.As a superstar, Ray Allen has the dignity of a superstar. Although McGrady's defense is strict, he still finds opportunities.

Ray Allen dribbled away McGrady with a crotch dribble, then rushed to a space, and immediately stopped for a jumper.Ray Allen's shot speed is the fastest in the entire NBA. Before McGrady can catch up, Ray Allen has already thrown the ball.

"what--"

Seeing the basketball enter the frame, Ray Allen exhaled and roared.
