LeBron James, your house got robbed.

A tribute video to Garnett began playing on the giant screen above the Garden Arena.

[Garnett blocks Gasol's shot with one hand], [He kneels down and poundes the floor in anger], [After winning the championship, he looks up to the sky and roars, shouting his classic line: "Anything is possible!"]...

Each scene records the most glorious period of Garnett's career.

Garnett stood ramrod straight with his hands behind his back, his physique like a male model. He looked up at the images intently, reminiscing and bidding farewell to those glorious years.

At the end of the video, Garnett pointed to the sky with one finger to thank the fans again before quickly getting into a new state of mind.

Arriving at the sidelines, he covered his palms in magnesium powder and slapped them hard against the commentary box.

Michael Jordan was the first to play with magnesium powder, throwing it directly at the commentary booth – a fun activity between him and the Chicago commentators.

Garnett was inspired by Jordan, but he wasn't as blatant as Jordan.

After a series of interactions on the sidelines, both teams' players came to the vicinity of the center line.

Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo, and O'Neal did not come up to greet Garnett.

Only Brandon Bass, who joined the Celtics this season, was oblivious and tried to go up and greet the veteran.

Even from a distance, Chen Shuo could clearly hear Garnett's voice:

"You'd better get lost."

Pierce was grinning from ear to ear, having already noticed Bass approaching, but he didn't remind him.

Garnett has a flaw as a player: off the court, he's friends and brothers, but on the court, he's an enemy and an opponent. Don't try to build a relationship with him.

It has a bit of the feel of the old NBA rivalries and grudges.

The most outrageous one in this whole affair is Pat Riley.

During his years coaching in New York, the Knicks' biggest rival was the Bulls.

To maintain his anger and fighting spirit, Riley even forbade his players from associating with Bulls players privately.

Garnett was also a supporter of this style of play, but his anger was limited to the court.

The referee blew the whistle, and Chandler reacted a beat too slow. Bass lobbed the ball to Rondo behind him.

As Rondo dribbled the ball across half-court, he carefully observed the opponent's formation.

Garnett stood at the free-throw line, clapping his hands to signal the start of the challenge.

Behind him at the three-point line, a formidable perimeter trio of Paul, Thompson, and Leonard loomed menacingly; behind him in the paint, boxing legend Tyson Chandler stood tall.

The atmosphere of this match was bloody from the very beginning.

Referee Foster on the sidelines immediately realized the problem and tightened his grip on the whistle.

As soon as Rondo crossed half-court, Paul went up and clung to him, one hand on Rondo's supporting hand, the other constantly reaching for the ball.

Chen Shuo saw it all clearly from the sidelines.

Paul kept putting his hand on Rondo, who, of course, was not to be outdone and used all his strength to shake Paul off.

Their arms quickly became entangled, forcing Foster to blow his whistle.

Rondo stopped dribbling when he heard the whistle and immediately started yelling at Paul.

Chen Shuo finally heard a few words clearly when the ball was served from the sideline:

"I have a championship ring," comes Rondo's overwhelming honor.

"The Celtics are planning to trade you plus two draft picks for me," Paul's trade value is overwhelming.

The two exchanged the same few words over and over again, unable to serve the ball for a long time. When they almost committed a five-second violation, Rondo finally served the ball after being reminded by Ray Allen.

Ray Allen, ignoring the two players still playing, passed the ball directly to Pierce on the wing.

With Garnett on the other side and Rondo busy arguing, unable to initiate plays, the only option left was for Pierce to go one-on-one.

Pierce received the ball, turned sideways, and stuck out his big buttocks to protect the ball while observing Garnett's movements.

Noticing Ray Allen's run, which drew Garnett's attention, Pierce immediately passed the ball to prepare for an attack.

A pair of large hands pressed down directly on the exposed ball, and then Leonard spun his body and used his strength to make another steal like a bull.

Leonard didn't dribble; he passed the ball directly to Paul.

The latter dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, threw it into the air, and Garnett jumped up and dunked it.

At this age, Garnett can still occasionally launch a fast break, but his jumping ability is noticeably lacking.

Paul almost dunked the veteran on that play; he only managed to do it because his arms are long enough, otherwise he would have missed.

Both sides played at full intensity in the first quarter, with Garnett and Chandler providing backup defense and the three perimeter players taking a gamble on defense.

In less than half a quarter, Paul and Leonard each made two steals, completely disrupting the Celtics' offense.

The first official timeout occurred around the 5-minute mark of the match.

Tyronn Lue removed Garnett and Thompson, intending to keep them in the second unit as offensive initiators, and brought in Shane Battier and Danny Green, both of whom are excellent defenders.

Both Battier and Green's defensive style tends to be restrained and conservative.

In addition, taking into account Chandler's physical condition, this lineup adopted a relatively conservative strategy.

The Celtics caught their breath during this period and finally put on a decent offensive, raising the score to double digits.

After another timeout, the Cavaliers brought in their rotation players.

Rivers looked at the five Cavaliers players walking up, their menacing aura giving him a vague sense of unease.

The Cavaliers put a well-rested Garnett at the center position, setting up a lineup with one big man and four small men.

The four small forwards are Jeremy Lin, Klay Thompson, Trevor Ariza, and Shane Battier.

Chen Shuo looked at the lineup on the field and felt a sense of satisfaction.

Thompson and Green have similar defensive styles, prioritizing maintaining defensive position rather than drawing turnovers and making steals.

But both Jeremy Lin and Trevor Ariza are extremely aggressive defenders.

More importantly, they have plenty of stamina, and once they're on the field, all they need to do is relentlessly attack and bite, aiming to force the opponent into making mistakes.

Chen Shuo's strategy was to use long rotations to ensure that these players had plenty of energy when they came on the field.

This allows them to spare no energy on the field, unleash their full power, and force opponents into making mistakes through fierce, all-out defense.

The war is about to start.

The Celtics' second unit is controlled by last year's rookie, Bradley.

After the opponent crossed half-court, Jeremy Lin began to take the lead in defense, battling with Bradley all the way to the top of the key.

"Attack him with the ball, go!"

"Don't let him dribble easily, take him down."

Standing in the center circle, Garnett kept an eye on the opponent's offensive routes while constantly encouraging his team.

After hearing the whole story, Jeremy Lin pounced on him, becoming even more aggressive. Bradley had no choice but to dribble backwards and pass the ball directly.

The pass was of poor quality, so Ray Allen couldn't shoot immediately after receiving the ball. After a slight adjustment, Thompson had already broken free of the screen and caught up, completely blocking the shooting space.

Ray Allen had no choice but to give up on the shot. Seeing Thompson close in, he drove straight into the three-point line and, unsurprisingly, ran into Garnett.

A pair of long arms completely enveloped Ray Allen.

Ray Allen was forced to collect the ball, and Ariza, seeing this, quickly reached out and placed both hands on the ball.

Foster blew his whistle and gave both thumbs up.

Fighting for the ball.

Garnett clapped his hands vigorously, opened his mouth wide and roared, shaking his head as he shouted:

"Well done."

"That's how you should fuck their asses hard."

Even Chen Shuo, sitting on the sidelines, could feel Garnett's passion.

To become the defensive core of a team, in addition to having all the technical skills, sometimes you also need to be like Garnett, using exaggerated body language and facial expressions on the court to energize your teammates.

What's most terrifying about KG is that he's always passionate whenever he's on the court.

He can run tirelessly, pound his chest, roar, and trash talk all game long. He has inexhaustible energy and boundless emotions. This is Garnett's innate and unreplicable superhuman defense.

Duncan wouldn't do something like that, since he can get a technical foul just for laughing off the court.
