After defeating the Mavericks, the Eagles returned to their home court. In the last game in 2007, their opponent was Garnett's old club Timberwolves.

The relationship between the two teams is more than just Garnett. The Timberwolves coach Atkins has just been poached recently. This trip to the Phillips Center can also be regarded as a "return"?

In this game, Ke Yan rested Dior again, and Birdman Anderson got the chance to start, mainly responsible for the defense against the small shark Bynum.

After Atkins took office, the Timberwolves' three potential insiders, Bynum, Horford, and David Lee, had a more reasonable distribution of playing time, a more solid defense, and Horford, who had a stronger coping ability, replaced David Lee as the starter, and his scoring ability was even better. The strong David Lee came off the bench to grab points.

Such a staffing arrangement may not satisfy everyone, but it is the most appropriate approach.It is also not ruled out that the Timberwolves will promote a transaction at a certain stage of the season, using David Lee with other bargaining chips to trade a backcourt player to strengthen the team's backcourt.

Facing No.1 in team history, the wolf cubs of the Timberwolves played amazing performances. Under the "lubricating" effect of Horford, Bynum and Gay Yin both showed outstanding performances.

Especially Gai Yin's outburst caught the Eagles by surprise.In the whole game, Gai Yin played 37 minutes, made 17 of 11 shots, 10 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 32 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound.

Gaiyin's outburst once again exposed the weakness of the Eagles' flank defense. Battier's defense today can be said to be hard work, and he still can't guard against him.

Fortunately, the Eagles played online on the offensive end, especially the pair of Paul and Joe Johnson in the backcourt. The two scored 54 points together, blowing up the backcourt of Jason Williams and Randy Foye.

107：102，老鹰队主场获胜，以25胜7负的成绩结束了07年的常规赛比赛！

The winning rate is less than 75%, which is slightly worse than the 0607 season, which set a record in team history; but considering that the team reached the finals all the way last season, the consumption of player experience is much greater than that of the 0506 season. Mental fatigue is inevitable!

Even if the 73-win Warriors later upgraded the small forward position to Durant, their subsequent regular season results have been declining.He plays so many more games than other players every year, and also plays more intense playoffs and finals. It is inevitable that he will not be able to lift his strength in the regular season.

On December 12, New Year's Eve, various New Year's Eve activities were held in various districts of Atlanta, and Ke Yan also took Wang Lifan to the streets to play.

The two of them confirmed their relationship on December 12st three years ago. After that, Wang Lifan took Ke Yan to the ballroom to dance and went to the wild to watch the stars. They had a lot of fun that night, and it was also an easy-to-remember anniversary, so Every New Year's Eve, Ke Yan would try his best to stay with Wang Lifan and spend it with her.

But this year is even different. This is the first time they have experienced the New Year's Eve as a couple, which is more meaningful.

There were many people on the street. In order to avoid getting lost, Ke Yan and Wang Lifan watched the fireworks holding hands.Even though he is in a foreign country, Ke Yan feels that his life is more interesting than his previous life. He has a successful career and a beautiful woman by his side. There is nothing happier than this.

When the bell is about to ring, all the couples embrace and kiss, which means that the couple will love each other in the coming year.

On January 1, the NBA officially announced the awards for the best players in December, and Tim Duncan and Chris Paul were elected respectively.

After a slow start to the season, the Spurs got into shape in December.In the case of Ginobili's injury, they won a wave of 12 consecutive victories and occupied the first place in the Western Conference. Among them, Duncan's contribution is indispensable. The slogan "Duncan is not old, the Spurs will not fall" has been confirmed again!

However, as he grows older, Duncan's decline is more obvious; affected by plantar fasciitis, Duncan's low singles ability must not be comparable to before; but a great player will always find other ways To help the team, in the case of declining offensive ability, Duncan gave more pick-and-rolls to his teammates, passed down, and ended the offense with throwing shots. The effect was remarkable; his free throw percentage increased to over 80%, who will cut Duncan again It is equal to sending points; Duncan transferred the team's offensive dominance to Parker, and supported the Spurs' number one defensive data in the league when Bowen's defense declined!

Duncan will always be the most reliable player in the league!

Paul averaged 24.1 points, 11.3 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game in December. The statistics are amazing!At the same time, the Eagles ranked first in the league in December, which is also a blessing for Paul.In the end, a better team record helped Paul defeat his strongest competitor, LeBron James!

Continue to maintain this performance, Paul should be able to win the first "team" of his career this season, and he also hopes to grab the "assistant king" from Nash.However, from the outside world, the Eagles' team record is brought about by the "Big Three". Even in the regular season of this season, Garnett is a bit glazed, and it is not easy for Paul to win the mvp.

On January 1, the Eagles were a guest at the North Shore Garden Center to challenge the Boston Celtics led by the Big Three.

Just looking at the team's record, Ainge's big bet on the Big Three this past summer was definitely a big success. The Celtics, which had the second-worst record in the league last season, rose to third in the league under the leadership of the Big Three. Pierce , O'Neal, and Ray Allen's Big Three deserve the most credit.

In addition to the Big Three, the birth of the second-year rookie Rajon Rondo has allowed the Celtics to improve the current situation and not lose the future. The fans saw the shadow of Kidd from Rondo. Excellent organizational offensive ability, top defensive ability in the same position, and mediocre shooting ability.

.

.

In addition, Perkins has also grown into a first-line blue-collar meat shield in the league. His role in the penalty area is very obvious. The tossing Yao Ming, O'Neal, Howard and other insiders are quite uncomfortable; Tony Allen is the top player in the league. The perimeter defender, his motto is "I don't know much about offense, but you don't want to understand it either"; as for the big baby Glenn Davis, it can be used in a flexible way, at least in this era without Garnett. He cursed and cried.

"Welcome to watch the NBA regular season brought to you by espn, the Celtics vs. Eagles game at home, I am Mike Breen, this game will be explained by me and Mark Jackson, now players from both sides The admission is complete, and the game is about to start..." Mike Breen's cadenced voice was transmitted to the ears of thousands of spectators along the radio waves.

At this time, the North Shore Garden Center was crowded with nearly [-] spectators filling the auditorium. All kinds of sounds gathered together, turning the arena into a sea of ​​noise. Headphones, too, had to raise their voices.

Mark Jackson followed the words of Mike Breen: "This is a strong matchup. Currently, the Eagles hold the No. The team can gain the upper hand in the competition with the all-main Hawks; while the Celtics are currently ranked second in the Eastern Conference, the strength of the Big Three should not be underestimated. Opponents like the Eagles will instead inspire their fighting spirit and make this game more exciting."

Both sides played with all their main players, and there were no injuries.

Jermaine O'Neal was the first to dial the basketball to Rondo, and the Celtics took control of the ball for the first offense.

Rondo slowly brought the ball to the front court, and the others took their positions calmly and played steadily.According to Rivers' instructions, Rondo, as usual, screened and rolled with O'Neal at the top of the arc, and then used his cover to break through the middle.

When O'Neal set a screen for Rondo, the Eagles chose to switch without hesitation. Paul followed O'Neal, and Garnett stayed on the free throw line, put Rondo in two steps, and blocked his breakthrough. route.

In this way, Rondo naturally couldn't get in. His shooting ability was average, and he didn't rush to shoot for two points, but passed the ball to O'Neal who was defended without hesitation.

After Jermaine O'Neal took the ball, the rest of the Celtics quickly pulled away to clear the space on the strong side for him.Diaw, on the other hand, left Perkins to Garnett and took the initiative to flank O'Neal.

Rondo and Perkins, neither of these two points have any ability to operate outside the penalty area, and they are both very dragging space. This is the natural black hole of the Celtics' offensive end.

Facing the double-team, Jermaine O'Neal was not sure to complete the offense and handed the ball to Ray Allen.Ray Allen shook Joe Johnson with a fake shot, broke into the inside line, attracted Garnett to make up the defense and sent a pass, assisting Perkins to score a dunk! (2:0)

Round transition, the Eagles, Paul quickly dribbled the ball across the half. Although the Celtics returned to defense quickly after scoring a goal without leaving any holes, Paul still chose to take the initiative to speed up the pace.

Facing Rondo's defense, Paul did not choose to fight hard, but handed the ball to Joe Johnson on the wing. The latter tried to force Pierce, but was stuck by the opponent's experience. Joe Johnson did not continue to fight. He chose A pull-up jumper with two steps, missed under interference.

The basketball bounced out of the basket, and the Celtics' penalty area was instantly chaotic. The inside players of both sides crowded together, and you fought for each other. In the end, Garnett was the better. Garnett stuck Perkins behind him, Hit the racket out of the penalty area.Joe Johnson has quick eyes and quick hands. He took a step after Garnett's basketball, broke through Pierce's defense, and made a direct throw. (2:2)

On the sidelines, Rivers sighed helplessly when he saw Garnett grab the rebound over Perkins' head.

For a defensive team like the Celtics, rebounding is the lifeline of the team!

Looking back, the Celtics continued to play Rondo and O'Neal's pick-and-roll, and the Eagles switched defenses at the first time. Rondo hesitated, took a two-point shot, and hit the iron without accident!

But what is quite surprising is that after the shot, Rondo cut to the basket immediately, grabbed an offensive rebound under the cover of Perkins, and completed a bridge under the basket to pass Garnett. The basketball scored the ball. (4:2)

After scoring, Rondo unsurprisingly began to provoke Garnett with all his thoughts, and was immediately sprayed back by the trash talk master Garnett.

Garnett is a master of trash talking to disturb the opponent's mood. Rondo wants to use this trick to disturb his mentality.

The Eagles attacked, Paul did not choose to come by himself, and handed the ball to Garnett who asked for the ball in the elbow area, and he ran to the weak side to open up space for Garnett.

Garnett singled O'Neal, he first changed direction, handed the ball to his left hand, then took a shuffling step, suddenly changed direction to the right, and took the right to break through.

But Jermaine O'Neal judged correctly and blocked Garnett's breakthrough route.

Garnett was not flustered either. He turned back and came to O'Neal's left side. At the same time, he compressed his position, created a shooting space, and shot a jumper.

"brush!"

4: 4.

On the way back to defense, Garnett gave Rondo a provocative look, shook his head and ran back to the backcourt.

The Celtics attacked, and Rondo and Ray Allen handed over the thugs. Junzi Lei caught the ball and made a direct pull from outside the three-point line, raising his hand and shooting a three-pointer!Battier's interference was too late, and the three-pointer went into the net hollowly. (7:4)

After scoring the goal, Ray Allen's expression was calm and he quickly returned to defense.

This is just one of the more than 2000 three-pointers he has made in his entire career.

Ray Allen scored a three-pointer, Ke Yan felt the danger, got up and shouted to the court, mainly targeting Battier, let him defend against Ray Allen more closely!

Paul held the ball across half court, and also cooperated with Dior's thugs, cutting vertically into the penalty area, attracting O'Neal's defense, and throwing the ball directly into the air. (7:6)

After landing, Garnett pointed to Paul as a sign of encouragement!

Looking back, Pierce directly opened his hand for the ball, and Rondo immediately passed the ball when he saw it.

Pierce took the basketball and faced Joe Johnson. After a three-threat action, he bent over and took a step forward to the right, then turned right, shook his shoulder twice, and suddenly turned back to the left, and shot a jumper.

Joe Johnson was tricked by his lifelike feint, and the defense slowed down a step, not interfering with Pierce's shot. The basketball flew over his fingertips, slid a round trajectory, and fell into the net. (9:6)

"Perfect! Pierce singled Joe Johnson successfully. He used his skills and experience to shake off Joe Johnson's defense. On the surface, Joe Johnson almost interfered with his shooting, but the truth is that he can send the ball into the basket!" Mike Bu Lin said.

"The Eagles have been scored high by the opponent's wing players many times this season. It is not easy to play against Pierce and Ray Allen in this game! To be honest, as the age grows, it is difficult for kg to take care of the inside at the same time. It is difficult to complete the protection of the flanks only with Battier's defensive power alone." Mark Jackson tried to analyze the problem from a professional perspective.

The rest of the game in the first quarter was as difficult as Mark Jackson analyzed.

The Eagles' defense is extremely difficult for any team to deal with. However, the Celtics' defense is not bad. O'Neal followed up decisively, and Perkins stood up inside; Among the point guards, he is tall and long-armed, and he is good at judging the ball path and completing steals;

On the offensive end, Pierce suppressed Joe Johnson during this period, thus creating a mobile phone opportunity for Ray Allen on the weak side, which became a move that the Eagles could not guard against; Just a little sunshine and it will be brilliant, and a little space will make it cluster".

单节比赛，雷阿伦三分球6投4中，砍下14分，帮助凯尔特人34：26领先老鹰队8分。

At the beginning of the second quarter, Rivers replaced O'Neal and Ray Allen, allowing Rondo and Pierce to lead the team on the court.

This is another advantage of the Big Three teams, which can always leave a strong offensive point on the court to lead the team.

The Eagles' lineup in the second quarter also had Joe Johnson in the lineup. Barea, Joe Johnson, pj Tucker, Bass, Anderson's lineup compared to the Celtics Rondo, Tony Allen, Pierce, Posey, Posey Ladd's lineup should be more balanced.

Pierce and Joe Johnson shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading the bench lineup, but Pierce's performance was even better; Pierce continued his excellent state in the first quarter, hitting the Hawks penalty area through singles consecutively.First, it caused a foul by Anderson and made two free throws. Then he evaded Anderson's block with a large barrier and made a layup. Then he hit another signature mid-range step back. He scored 6 points in a row and defeated him head-on. Overwhelmed the Eagles' defense!

Relying on Pierce's outstanding performance, the Celtics quickly opened up the point difference to double digits. If it weren't for Barea's desperate breakthrough to open up space for his teammates and create some scoring opportunities, the point difference would only widen. Pull bigger!

In the 5th minute of the second quarter, James Posey received a breakthrough from Pierce and hit an open three-pointer. The score came to 49:36, and the lead of the Celtics came to 13. Biggest ever.

"drop--"

Ke Yan immediately called a timeout, the situation cannot continue to deteriorate!

"Kimi called the timeout very timely. If the point difference continues to widen and approaches 20 points, even if the main players play, the pressure to chase points will be great!" Mark Jackson said.

"Next, Kimi should be replaced by the main players. The hard strength of the Hawks' main lineup should be the first in the league. If necessary, the playing time of the main players can be increased." Mike Breen said.

In fact, Mike Breen guessed half right.Ke Yan did replace the main players. He replaced Joe Johnson, PJ Tucker and Anderson with Paul, Battier and Garnett.

The Eagles play double point guards and push Garnett to the center position at the same time. Whether it is the offensive end or the defensive end, the team's mobility is greatly enhanced!

Rivers thought that the Eagles would replace all the main players, so they replaced the main players to match up. Unexpectedly, the Eagles replaced with a "small lineup", and the team obviously couldn't run the opponent.

Ke Yan's adjustment of this move immediately reversed the situation of the game.On the defensive end, the Eagles have five defenses and four defenses, and Perkins can be ignored. Even if he catches the ball in a very comfortable position, as long as he exerts a little confrontation, Perkins' offense is extremely unstable; With a 5-out offensive position, Perkins seems to be in the series of the 12 Finals, with both offense and defense at a loss.

Ke Yan's use of troops "cited the classics" and was eclectic; while Rivers was completely passive, seeing Perkins being targeted desperately by the Eagles, he dared not replace him, and watched helplessly. Eaten clean.

"Boom!" Finally, Perkins received a feed from Rondo, dunked the ball into the basket, and fought for his breath; in the next round of offense, the Eagles sent out a "shark-cutting tactic" to directly attack Parkins. Kings fouled!

".

.

Rivers on the sidelines widened his eyes, showing the expression of the pig's head in "Angry Birds".

This tm can also be done!

In the second half of the second quarter, the Eagles directly stunned the Celtics with a set of combo skills. After a wave of 23:7 attacks, they directly overtook the Celtics by 3 points and ended the first half of the game. (56:59)
