Chapter 430 This is not a show

The two most competitive teams in the east and west met, but the game was not broadcast live nationwide. TNT's commentary team was only a second-tier player, and the old partner's golden trio did not come.

"Fans still prefer to watch the star-level defense confrontation. James and Kobe bumped into each other, which helped us distract a lot of attention. This is a good thing, right, old buddy?"

Rivers has no objection to such an arrangement. It is not necessarily a good thing for fewer people to pay attention to the confrontation between the Celtics and the Spurs. They don't want to be too eye-catching, although the possibility is very low.

Fortunately, the collision between James and Kobe Bryant will definitely sparkle this night. The newly resurrected Los Angeles Lakers fight against the Cavaliers, and Peter Pan and the Little Emperor are definitely eye-catching.

Compared with that game, the confrontation between the Spurs and the Celtics seemed a little quiet and silent.

Although there is still a large group of reporters on the sidelines, the Spurs' home court is so teet, and the attendance rate can be about 80%. Even if the Celtics come, the situation has not changed much.

At most, there are some star fans who are willing to see the three giants of the Celtics, but the capacity of 19,000 people in the AT&T central stadium is still not full, and the atmosphere is not so crazy, just like usual.

"Is this the background of the champion team? It can only be said that the Spurs' home court, like their fans, is very low-key, unlike Cleveland, but their attendance is stable, which makes many teams envious.

Angie, who travels with the team, said that before a season, Angie will also envy the home attendance of the Spurs. There are not many dazzling big stars here, but they can have a group of loyal fans.

It's not like New York or Los Angeles. When you play well, there will be countless star stars acting as your supporters on the sidelines, and those crazy fans will be there to roll the flag for you.

But when you play badly, those big stars who tear up tickets or buy seats in the first row but don't come will always make the New York Knicks look very embarrassed. This is the treatment of the metropolitan club.

Sometimes, loyal fans are also the basis for a team to survive, and San Antonio fans do it perfectly. Their firm support for the Spurs is lasting.

Compared with these, Angie also feels that it is very lucky for the Celtics to take root in Boston. In the past two decades, Boston fans have not been allowed to leave the team, and it has been the same in the past few decades.

Of course, Boston's attendance rate has basically reached a difficult time. In fact, there has been such a trend since last season. The arrival of Chen Feng and Rondo has completely activated the football market.

In the past two decades, Boston's attendance has been maintained at 70%, which is still dependent on this group of old loyal fans, but now, if you can buy a package ticket, you have to thank God for your love.

The joining of the Big Three this season, coupled with the team's crazy winning streak, has turned Boston's home court into a popular place. Even if it is fashionable, you should go to the North Shore Garden to watch a game.

The atmosphere in the AT&T Center Arena is not as hot as New York or Los Angeles, but the neat shouting can still create an invisible sense of oppression for the visiting team, which is far more shocking than Cleveland.

Although in the territory of the little emperor, those crazy shouts can bring pressure to people, but there is an unspeakable impetuousness in it, unlike San Antonio, which is low-key here, but contains a kind of power.

"It seems that these hosts don't welcome us." In the face of such an away atmosphere, the Celtics are a little accustomed to it, and Chen Feng can make a joke.

If you like to watch Kobe and the little emperor, you will naturally not pay attention to the hand-to-hand battle between the Spurs and the Green Shirts. This is a confrontation between two feelings, one is to attract your attention, and the other is to make you feel shocked.

The fight between Rivers and Popovich seems very simple and straightforward. The Spurs fans are not as crazy as New York or Los Angeles, but with the support of the old bones, they will still be very tough.

Before the warm-up began, in the locker room, the head coaches of both sides had already arranged it. They didn't even have to think about what lineup the other party would use. They were completely arranged by themselves.

A mature team doesn't need to think about what the opponent wants to do, but should know what you want to do.

Rivers is thinking about this truth, and Popovich has already understood what his team should do, so they will not care about the opponent's arrangement, mainly to carry out their own arrangement.

Maybe Mike Brown hasn't seen through the doorway here. At least he hasn't done this so far. With the little emperor in his hand, he may never have the feeling of controlling himself.

"Insideline! Nail the basket! Control your mistakes, ensure your offensive efficiency, and kill the other party as much as possible.

"Don't let your opponent approach the basket easily, hold the three-second zone, and strangle it in this area to your heart's content."

Whether it is said to be the same by appointment or by heart, Rivers and Popovich's choice is the safest. The collision between the two sides will be more concentrated near the three-second zone.

The closer to the basket, the greater the threat. This simple truth is very clear to Popovich and Rivers.

And the combination of Aberto and Duncan really bumped into Chen Feng and Garnett head-on without any help!

What Rivers cares most about is definitely not the fight between Parker and Ron, but the entanglement between Duncan and Chen Feng. Popovich did not choose to avoid it this time, but let Duncan go to the main defense.

But Duncan did not choose to continue to entangle with Garnett, an old opponent, and he came up and ran to Chen Feng to kill him.

There is no suspense that the Celtics won the jump ball, but after Ray Allen grabbed the ball, he was entangled. Finley, who was also an old bone, was very strong.

The two good scorers collided face to face, and the competition was not allowed, which directly set the tone of the confrontation between the two sides. This kind of close hand-to-hand battle seems to run through the whole game.

Ray Allen wants to deal with Finley's entanglement. Rondo controls the ball in his hand and must also face Parker's harassment. These two little men are completely fighting for speed and who can control the ball better.

Pierce's side is also targeted by "Uncle Bao". It is really difficult to get out and support.

The opposite position of the inner thread needle tip against Mai Mang is a fight that no one wants to avoid. The whole first quarter of the game was almost spent in the mutual attack and defense of Duncan and Chen Feng.

An old bone with four championship rings in his hand can never be defeated by you casually. Even if Chen Feng is crazy enough, he is also very cautious when he meets Duncan.

8:7 This is the scoring data handed over by Chen Feng and Duncan in the first quarter. The two also scored five rebounds, but Duncan contributed three assists, and Chen Feng sent two blocks.

Garnett over there is not as flexible as before in the face of Obotto's close defense, but the Celtics can score 32:28 in the first quarter, thanks to the Wolf King's performance.

It's just that most people's eyes are still attracted by Duncan and Chen Feng. These two guys are undisguised, especially Duncan, who hasn't scored much per game recently. He is abnormally out of his temper.

He held the ball on the front, the middle distance after the flank was covered, and his iconic pitch into the basket was two in a row. In the confrontation in the first quarter, he scored 8 points on Chen Feng's head!

However, Chen Feng, who defended against the position, was not polite. While Duncan attacked himself, he also fought back fiercely. The four strong attacks under the basket were all started against the "stone Buddha" without any avoidance.

Three of the four shots, one of which is 2+1, such a needle tip against Mai Mang, through the first quarter.

The confrontation between Chen Feng and Duncan is actually a state of mutual cancellation. Although Chen Feng can run and jump, his firepower is always reduced when he exerts these advantages in front of "Shifo".

"That old guy is too slippery. It's always difficult for me to catch his weakness." At the end of the first quarter, Chen Feng also had to admit Duncan's experience, which made the old bone difficult to deal with.

This is different from the previous confrontation. Almost every attack is very awkward. Duncan will not play according to your rhythm, and Chen Feng's strong attack is also a little less sharp in front of the "Stone Buddha".

There is no need to say more about Chen Feng's impact, but the expressionless "stone Buddha" has never been stupid enough to fight with you. When he defends behind him, he often uses ingenuity and experience to take advantage of it.

Although Duncan doesn't have a cap, his card kung fu really makes Chen Feng very awkward. The old guy can always withstand Chen Feng's route under the basket, making him unable to take action calmly.

Duncan has no block data, but he has really blocked Chen Feng's shot route twice. As long as Chen Feng dares to throw the ball out, it must be the result of being blocked.

A confrontation between the top power forwards appeared so fiercely in front of everyone. I really don't know if those fans who watch the air war between Kobe and James will be a little regretful.

The confrontation of flying people in the air can always be seen, but this kind of pure insider is rare.

However, the most terrible thing about the Spurs is their overall attack. Although there is a GDP combination fighting with you on the field, there are too many people in the Spurs.

Popovich does not intend to rely on his core to fight against the Celtics. If he does that, he is definitely not a wise person, but the Spurs as a whole does have strong lethality.

Their counterattack in the second quarter was triggered by Ginobili, Yuduka, Horry and others.

The Celtics were just starting to rotate at that time. Popovich caught this gap. Before the Green Shirts' bench players were waiting for the event, the Spurs' attack over there had begun.

Ginobili's three ghost breakthroughs, Yuduka's two three-pointers, and Horry's two mid-range jump shots.

Suddenly, from Duncan and Parker's two points to several people fire at the same time. Even if Kassel and Sprewell were experienced enough, they were stunned by the Spurs.

If Rivers hadn't shouted for a timeout, I really don't know how many points the Spurs could have won.

It's just a wave of 16:3 attacks, which is really a blow to the Celtics. Their accumulated four-point advantage in the first quarter was lost.

And at the end of the first two quarters, the Spurs later won seven points. It is not difficult for you to understand why Rivers tightened his eyebrows when he returned to the locker room.

But the confrontation between the Celtics and the Spurs is like two soldiers with epees. No one will take a step back, and rarely make any strange moves, that is, to cut at the opponent with a knife.

There is nothing fancy. It's purely fighting for the whole team. If you break down, you will lose.

When the Spurs' fire net began to spread, the Celtics counterattacked very simply in the third quarter.

Ray Allen, Novak, under the cover of Chen Feng and Garnett, including Pierce, also broke out at the same time.

The other side opened the way with a wave of shots. Similarly, the Celtics' counterattack was also very direct. Pierce's two cuts, plus Chen Feng stuck Duncan at the top of the arc, let Novak throw three points.

Garnett blocked Ray Allen. The guy successfully slipped the bottom line twice, one middle distance and one three-pointer, which caught the Spurs' peripheral defense off guard.

When Popovich shouted for a timeout, the stormy attack of the Green Shirts had already leveled the score gap. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the score of 80:80 also became the starting line again.

However, Rivers and Popovich seemed to have expected this result before the start of the game. When the two sides fought in the fourth quarter, the two guys stood on the sidelines and kept roaring!

"Defensive! Keep an eye on him! Don't let him break in! Stop him!"

"Hear your place! Don't let those guys cut to the inside line! Damn it! Location! Keep your position! Shrinking! Keep it under the basket!"

Such a roar is almost the only melody on the sidelines in the twelve-minute confrontation in the fourth quarter. Even during the pause, their loud voices are always reminding the team members to fight!

This is not the playoffs, but no one will doubt that the intensity of this game will be weaker than the fight in the playoffs.

When Chen Feng suddenly shook Duncan to the top of the arc in the last few seconds of the game, received Rondo's sideline service, and suddenly took off and shot from the middle distance, the air seemed to have been stagnant.

Hit! Crazy cheers suddenly broke out in the visiting team's rest area, as if to draw a stop for the game.

But more people are still recalling what happened at that moment.

? This is the real competition. There is no performance show, no gorgeous action, just a rigid hand-to-hand fight, but it can make everyone feel boiling!

The moment when the Celtics defeated the Spurs, the two-point advantage made everyone in the visiting team crazy.

This is not a playoff, but no one will deny everything you feel here.

Perhaps, for the Knights and the Suns, they prefer to defeat their opponents with gorgeous attacks and please the fans.

But for some teams, victory is the most important thing. This is not a show. They don't need to perform. Winning is their ultimate goal.

Breaking through the Great West and starting from defeating the Spurs...

(Kobe was injured. I suddenly found that we were all old. Like Peter Pan, we were getting old. The only ** left was gradually cooling down, and suddenly it was a little hot and sad...)
