Garnett is 2.11 meters tall and has a very long arms. This makes the wolf king who was able to play in five positions and become a very strange existence.

But now, due to the lack of inside players of the Celtics, this standard forward has to reach the No. 5 position.

In this era when excellent centers are as rare as prehistoric dinosaurs, Garnett plays the No. 5 position in most cases. But when he faces Anjie, people can clearly feel how embarrassing it is for a forward to reach the No. 5 position.

During the jump ball stage, Damien Lillard got his first shot from Angel as he wished. Many years ago, the story of Garnett being able to touch the upper edge of the rebound was very popular among the people. Not to mention whether this story is true, Garnett's bounce ability was indeed excellent at that time.

But now, Garnett, who is almost 37 years old, is not very good at jumping around. Fischer, who entered the league a year later than Garnett, has retreated to the second line. Garnett has to face Anjie head-on with such a big weight and height. This is indeed not easy.

During the Trail Blazers' first offense, Lillard raised the pace very quickly. The reporters were surprised to point the camera at the Trail Blazers' bench, but Ricard and Divac were sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, very calm.

"What's going on? Lillard has gained such great power?" Anyone who is familiar with the Trail Blazers knows that Ricard's team is a slow-paced team with positional offense. But Lillard plans to attack fiercely at the beginning, which is logically contrary to the tactical style of the Trail Blazers.

Lillard can rush, can he let Angel and Aldridge rush with a rookie defender?

In fact, Lillard mentioned at the beginning that this was exactly what Ricard arranged. Unlike the young Trail Blazers, the Celtics are too old. Moreover, they are not as stable as the same aging Spurs. Once the pace is accelerated, the Celtics may be distracted.

Due to Rondo's injury, Lillard easily broke through the experienced "Jets" Terry, who was already slightly slower than Fischer. Terry was already very fast among people of this age. But facing Lillard, the veteran could only watch the match pass by himself.

After entering the inside, Garnett immediately planned to assist in defense. However, under Angel's block, Garnett, who could not run, missed the best time to make up for defense. At this time, the Celtics only had power forward Brandon. Bass completed assisting defense and was ready to stop Lillard's layup. But Bass' height of only 2.3 meters will not pose too much threat to Lillard.

Lillard leaned against Bass for a layup without fear. Bass wanted to block the block, but found that the impact and jumping height of the No. 0 guard made him unable to touch the basketball at all.

In the physical contact with Bass, Lillard forced the ball to advance! In the first attack at the beginning, Ricard used a "blitz" move to give the Celtics a warning.

"I don't know if this was deliberately arranged by Coach Ricard, but I have to say that Lillard's breakthrough really worked. Facing the Celtics who have entered the aging stage, they can speed up the pace, and they may be able to drag them to death faster." Mike Blin certainly knew that the Trail Blazers are a slow-paced team, but sometimes when you change the team's style appropriately, you may have unexpected gains.

"Damn it!" Garnett slapped his legs unwillingly. If he was four or five years younger than that ball just now, Lillard would have to be able to take advantage of it!

"Quick ball kg, the game has just begun, we have time." Pierce ran to the frontcourt and shouted at Garnett. He really didn't understand why Garnett would be so excited every time he met Angel.

The Celtics' offense does not have the momentum of being aggressive, but by just one pass and running, you can see how outstanding the team's tactical cultivation is.

The cheers of fans in the Td North Shore Garden Arena were like metronomes, while the Celtics ran the tactics in a straight manner on this beat.

The five people on the field perform their duties, and the running that should be run and cover that should be covered are never sloppy or delayed. The strength of traditional giants is fully demonstrated by the Celtics. This team still has the foundation of the championship.

In the end, through patient transmission, Jeff Green, a small forward who had a lot of connection with Anjie, got a chance to take action outside the three-point line.

Iguodala's defense is hard-working, but he encountered two exquisite pick-and-rolls in a row, and was powerless to everything he had in front of him.

Although Jeff Green is just an ordinary player now, you should know that he and Durant were collectively called "Twins" with Durant. Although he was not strong enough to become a big star, Jeff Green is still very capable.

In the standard shooting posture, Iguodala's flawless defense was useless in front of Jeff Green's height. Green made a three-pointer and opened the Celtics. The Celtics now have no level scorer, but they proved that they still have a way to face the strong enemy!

In the subsequent attack, Lillard still raised the rhythm. This style is Lillard's favorite game method.

He was so restricted that he was very restricted on weekdays, but today he finally ran freely without being bound. He once again plunged into the inside line. Just when the three Celtics shrank the basket and were about to stop Lillard, the orange-red basketball flew out of the crowd! Breakthrough and pass the ball, Lillard's specialty!

Anjie just stepped into the three-point line with one foot and received the incoming ball. Due to Lillard's attraction, there was no one in front of Anjie now. But Anjie did not intend to stop and jump shot quickly. He was not a defender. He knew that he could not rely too much on the outside attack.

So Anjie did not use this space to shoot, but instead used this space to plan to start three steps!

Since Anjie was chasing behind Lillard, Anjie rushed very quickly. After receiving the ball, Anjie's degree did not slow down at all.

Jeff Green was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands to interfere with An Jie! But at this time, An Jie had already jumped high! The rapidity made his inertia greater, and greater inertia meant that An Jie was more difficult to stop!

Green raised his arms and stood under the basket like a low wall, while An Jie, directly through this low wall, used his strength and wingspan advantages to dunk the basketball in!

Garnett witnessed Anjie completing the entire process of warding on the side. He was young, so good...

After scoring the goal, Angel did not provoke Jeff Green. After all, Jeff Green did things like this when Angel was still in the Thunder and Green was still in the Kings. This oo number, which had just completed a wonderful dunk, just quivered with the O number beside him to thank this beautiful pass.

Although Anjie was very calm, Mike Bryn, who was responsible for explaining this game, could not calm down. The dunk that was dribbled by the big center after it was almost gone. In today's era of forwards and guards, the scene just now was really a bit different. Mike Bryn didn't want to bring those repeated praises to the table, but his exclamation from the bottom of his heart was the greatest affirmation of this wonderful goal.

So far, Garnett has not had even a head-on confrontation with Anjie. But Anjie's performance in these two rounds has made Garnett clear about the gap between them.

However, for the sake of victory, even if you meet God, the "Wolf King" will not retreat!

So afterwards, Anjie found that the guy beside him began to feel restless. In order to stop Anjie from running, Garnett often used non-compliant pulls to slow down Anjie's degree. It was also taking advantage of this opportunity that Paul Pierce broke through Matthews with a fake shot and real attack.

Pierce's explosive power is no longer as good as before, but his control over the rhythm of playing is getting better and better. This time Pierce did not completely get rid of Matthews at all. However, with his excellent sense of rhythm, Pierce avoided the interference of Matthews and Aldridge and steadily advanced the ball.

Each of his three steps is so solid, and at the same time it is highly deceptive, making you unable to understand his next move. In this era when most people play on their bodies, Pierce taught Matthews a good lesson with a unique method.

"This is Paul Pierce. Maybe he is no longer a scorer, but he is still one of the best players in the league!" How long is Pierce's "shelf life"? When his body has begun to deteriorate, he can still average 19 points per game in other ways. This is one of the reasons why the Celtics still have the belief in winning.

Perhaps it was because Pierce's goal that Garnett was deeply touched. This guy actually scored two points on Anjie's head with a turnover jump shot in the next round of the offense.

Anjie had to admire Garnett's feel. This guy with a rough and savage appearance and personality is not bad at all when doing technical work.

But the gap in strength between the two teams is there, and the Celtics were not tortured by the Trail Blazers. But all they could do was to bite the score.

But the fast pace of Lillard and Ricard quickly made the Celtic veterans unable to bear it. Faced with this situation, coach Doug Rivers had to replace Garnett, Pierce and Terry in advance.

The effect of substitution this time is very obvious, because on the offensive end, the Celtics lost a few calmness, but had a little more frigidity.

The "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa, who came from the Pacers, is not Terry. It is not the strong point of the Brazilian to organize the offense honestly.

Facing Fischer, who was slow to replace Lillard, Barbosa did not call a pick-and-roll, and easily passed the "old fish" by changing directions in two consecutive bodies.

After passing the Old Fish, the Trail Blazers' defensive formation did not shrink. They were afraid that the contraction would give other Celtics the shooting space, and at the same time, they also believed that Angel would handle it under the basket!

Angel's former teammate Chris Wilcox tried all his strength as he said before the game, but still failed to stop Angel from making up for defense. Seeing that Angel completed the assisting defense so quickly, Barbosa was a little unwilling to accept it.

Do you have to give up the score you get? Barbosa knows that with his height, he will not be able to confront An Jie head-on. But a sudden drop may be a good choice...

"Reduced!" Barbosa thought everything he did was perfect, but Anjie observed Barbosa's slowdown. Most defenders would habitually slow down their breakthroughs before taking a throw to adjust the pace. Anjie had to bet one bet to see if the Brazilian would really throw!

Barbosa just stepped into the free throw line and got up and held the ball to throw it, but to his surprise, Anjie seemed to have chosen the right time and appeared in front of him at the right time!

Barbosa had no other choice, so she had to bite the bullet and take action. But before the basketball even began to fall, it was ruthlessly "dismissed" by Anjie.

"Another performance of blocking throwing! My God, even blocking can become An's signature move!"

He opened his hands and landed smoothly. Anjie jumped very high just now, so high that even Barbosa, who was blocked, found it incredible.

He swallowed and turned his eyes to An Jie. He saw that An Jie was laughing at him at this moment. This did not mean friendship, but rather made people feel distressed.

"This is the territory of the big man. You can't fly here. Listen, get out of my territory and shoot outside the three-point line!" When An Jie said this, his smile was still hanging on his face.

Barbosa felt creepy, but Garnett on the bench was full of fun.

Garnett could see that Anjie had finished "warm-up" and started to be serious. And fighting seriously is the greatest respect for the veteran.
Chapter completed!
