The Celtics integrated offense and defense, and the rhythm control was also very good, with Pierce as the core, the team's squad strength rose several notches.

At halfway point, the Celtics led the Warriors by one point at home 11-10.

Rivers took the lead in changing lineup after a long timeout, and in this year's draft, the Celtics' No. 4 pick, Jeff Green, came on to replace Michael Petrus.

Jeff Green has made a name for himself as the Most Outstanding Player in the Great East Conference during his junior season and helped Georgetown reach the NCAA Final Four for the first time since 1985, something that even Allen Iverson has not done.

Jeff Green's body stats are outstanding, and his excellent performance in the tryout has improved his draft market all the way, and teams such as SuperSonics and Rockets have asked the Celtics to buy this player, but they all ended up running aground because they didn't have the right chips.

Played in 9 games, Jeff Green averaged 9.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1 steal and 0.8 blocks per game, and his all-round and defensive talent gradually emerged, and the Celtics Bishop Rivers publicly stated that he would focus on developing Jeff Green.

Jeff Green won't play much less than he started and gets a good chance.

After he came on the stage, there were many fans in the stadium who stood up and cheered, and it looked like the lad had the first fans in the city to support him.

The Warriors have yet to rotate their roster.

On the flank of the backcourt, Jandy serves to Byron Davis.

……

"The Celtic squad is very good, with a young and energetic backfield, a mature and stable striker, and an experienced penalty area, with a balanced attack and defense, and a clear division of labor."

ESPN's expert Arnolditz praised in the Flash: "The whole Celtics are a super defensive defensive formation, including Rondo, Jeff Green, Pau Gasol and Ben Wallace, and even Paul Pearce, all of whom are players who can defend and are good at defending. ”

In his writing, the Celtics' current team is comparable to the Detroit Pistons of a few years ago, and in some ways, it is more like an offensive version of the Detroit Pistons.

Another ESPN expert, Wilson, wrote: "Today's league is the era of the rise of the best, in addition to the Warriors, Cavaliers, Spurs, Mavericks, Suns and other traditional strong teams, but also the Celtics, Lakers, two teams that have obviously stepped into the top team level, one in the east and one in the east, and the competition is more intense." ”

"The Warriors have also increased their roster depth, and the competition for even the fringe on the Warriors has never been more intense. After Byron Davis' return, the Warriors will truly emerge as a Big Three this season, with the team stronger than last season and the most solid attack on the triple championship. ”

The scorching game between the Celtics and the Warriors was more of a testament to those points.

Even if the Warriors won the championship for two consecutive years, in the third year, they are still not favored to defend the championship, and the entire NBA is in an uncertain situation.

In fact, the Warriors, who were fighting back-to-back, were gradually exhausted, feeling cold for a while in the second quarter, and the Celtics took the opportunity to overtake the score, and halftime ended with a 6-point lead over the Warriors at 46-40.

Yang Di didn't feel good in the second quarter, missing both jumpers and relying on free throws to score 2 points.

In the second half, the Warriors enhanced their outside projection, and Montgomery also knew that it was not a good choice to fight the Celtics in this way, and the Warriors had several away games in the East in the future.

Ray Allen had a good hand and hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Warriors ahead of the score.

The Celtics called a timeout.

"Every time Ray Allen comes to Boston, it's like he's hanging up, and his projection is particularly accurate." Fans remember when Ray Allen came to Boston last year, and in that game, Ray Allen was like a god, slashing 45 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, including 9 3-pointers.

Rivers called a timeout and asked Petrus to use a kraft-style defense to keep an eye on Ray Allen.

After Ray Allen attracted the center of gravity of the defense, there were relatively few chances, and Yang Di asked for the ball inside and forced a turn, which caused a foul on Ben Wallace.

"I didn't foul anyone, referee, are you sure you see it clearly?"

Ben Wallace slapped the basketball and shouted at the referee in question, like a golden bell, the referee glared at Ben Wallace and immediately gave him a technical foul unceremoniously.

Ben Wallace looked dazed, and wanted to defend anything, but was pulled by the calm Gasol and Pierce, but the strength of the two of them dragged him, and they both felt like pulling another strong bison, which was particularly hard.

Big Ben is not a rookie either, after eating a technical foul, mainly because he was chased by the Warriors during this period of time and even overtook the score, he is the player who wants to win the Warriors the most, only by winning the Warriors can the Pistons make a huge mistake in the first two years, he turned back and stood outside the three-point line, and his eyes have regained his calm.

Ray Allen made a technical foul and hit a free throw.

Under this wave of offense, the Warriors outscored the Celtics by 3 points 52-49.

The Celtics attacked, Pierce fell to the low post, keenly grasped that the Celtics' morale was slipping, and then asked for the ball to prepare for a single.

As the unquestioned leader of the Celtics, he is going to stand up at this time.

Pierce took the ball, turned his back and tested the defender's Danny Granger.

Danny Granger lifted one-handed high and stood in the air.

Paul Pierce stepped out of his right foot, pulled the ball sideways with his right hand, made a tentative break, and suddenly took a step back with his left heel to shoot and shoot like a green onion.

Granger covers Pierce's eyes, and Pierce shoots with his hands.

"Huh!"

The mid-range jumper hit steadily, and it looked like a particularly difficult ball.

The Green Shirts cheered and gave their core a round of applause, having seen Pierce's kind of performance over the years, and they were used to and loved the varied attacking style.

The Warriors quickly served the baseline ball, and Yang Di received the ball outside the three-point line, facing Ben Wallace, who saved the defense, and dribbled under the crotch.

The left hand exchanges the ball with the right hand, the right hand probes the shoulder and swayes, and then suddenly hits the ground and pulls horizontally, and then breaks through from the left side instead, and the right foot steps out to form a cross step, like a textbook shaky breakthrough.

Ben Wallace didn't shake much, but Yang Di changed direction very much, and he was at a disadvantage in position in an instant.

Reaching out to stop Yang Di, he slapped on his arm again.

The benefits of eating a technical foul just now were reflected, the referee hesitated about this obvious foul, and when he wanted to blow it again, a while had passed, and Yang Di failed to break through successfully and passed the ball back to Byron Davis.

Davis's breakthrough effect against Rondo was also mediocre, with a mid-range pullup jump shot.

Missed, the rebound was collected by Gasol.
