Chapter 840: The Celts II

The Green Shirts are known as the "Big Three", and the combination of Paul Pearce, Pau Gasol and Ben Wallace is very dreamy.

The interior lineup is not weaker than the Warriors at all, and there are Rajon Rondo and Michael Petrus on the outside, and there are young talents like Jeff Green who have just entered the league among the bench players, and the lineup is not inferior to the Warriors at all.

At this time, this year's draft lottery has all ended, and the Bulls have won the top pick with a very low probability, which has caused a wave of conspiracy theories in the league that the draft lottery is secretly operating.

In fact, coalition draw conspiracy theories have been around for a long time.

The most popular thing in China is that after the 01-02 season, Yao Ming's entry into the Rockets as the top pick is a behind-the-scenes manipulation of the league.

At that time, after the regular season, the Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors tied for the bottom of the league, and their chances of getting the first pick were about 22.5%, the NBA was only 29 teams at the time, and the Rockets, who ranked fifth from the bottom in the league, only had an 8.9% chance of winning.

Why did the Rockets finally get the top pick to sign Yao Ming? This is a puzzle for many people. At that time, Chicago, which had the third largest ball market in the league, was particularly eager to acquire Yao Ming, and they were confident that they could help the Chinese giants create more market value, but in the end, they did not succeed.

This year, the Bulls got the No. 1 pick, and Chicagoans were in a boil after Rose announced the draft and they saw Derrick Rose as a superstar enough to lead the Bulls' revival.

The list was taken away by the Heat, and the Timberwolves, who had the lowest record, won the probe lottery.

The end of the draft draw has also diluted some of the tension ahead of the finals, and people are talking about one of the biggest events of the summer, the annual draft at Madison Square Garden.

On the evening of June 5, Auckland fans arrived early.

It seems to have become an annual festival in the Auckland area, and the series of finals lasts for at least a week.

The Warriors released a commemorative T-shirt for the finals, with a Chinese dragon printed on the back of the white commemorative T-shirt, wrapped around the sleeve, the designer was inspired by Yang Di's tattoo, and after a little adaptation, it turned out to be very unique and creative.

Fans walked in along the aisle, and the camera was raised to the sky, taking aerial photos of the brightly lit Oracle Arena.

The ground parking lot is full, the underground parking lot is not empty, and the people in the entire stadium who come to watch the game are even crazier than the people who watch the concert, and the ticket prices for the finals have been rising all the way.

All the die-hard fans were present, and the entire Oracle Arena slowly became full of people, and the noisy sound constantly hit the night sky, as if it was about to set off a boom in the whole city.

The bars on both sides of the stadium were also full of fans who had not bought tickets to enter the stadium.

Fans like to drink and watch football together here, and it is more enjoyable to watch the game together.

In the stadium, the players of both sides have begun to warm up before the game, as early as the afternoon, the two teams have already carried out regular training, and the warm-up before the game is only a small part of the activities.

The preparations were already all done, and the players were carelessly making shots, waiting for the entrance ceremony to begin.

.......

After all the opening work, the starters for both sides were released and both stayed on the pitch.

Warriors starters: Byron Davis, Ray Allen, Danny Granger, Jandy and Tyson Chandler.

Celtics starters: Rajon Rondo, Michael Petrus, Paul Pearce, Pau Gasol, Ben Wallace.

In the middle of the season, the Celtics used Jeff Green as a starter, but not long after, Rivers felt that it was better to start Pietrus, so he demoted Jeff Green to the bench.

In an interview with Boston Media, Jeff Green said that he obeyed the coach's arrangement and was willing to accept the role of the team's sixth man.

Yang Di took the magnesium powder prepared for him by the staff, took some and applied it to his hands, which would make the friction of his palms stronger.

He clapped his hands, spared a circle from the sidelines, and high-fived the head coach, assistant coach, substitute players, sideline staff, and guests who came to comment.

Before the finals began, I hope to get everyone's blessing in this way.

The Warriors Finals have an O'Brien Cup logo embroidered on the front of their chest, which is the case every year, signifying the extraordinaryness of this round of the series.

The championship trophy is also printed on the floor of the stadium, and the style of the whole stadium has changed.

In the stadium, the noisy voices of the fans are transmitted, creating a strong home atmosphere.

The game was broadcast in nearly 200 countries and regions, with the Asian market accounting for a large part, proving the NBA's achievements in opening up the Asian market.

Tyson Chandler and Ben Wallace jump ball in the middle circle.

The two "former Bulls" players stood together, frozen in the same frame, and had to sigh that the world is impermanent.

Ben Wallace still has that exaggerated explosive head, but in addition, he is still a head shorter than Tyson Chandler who is 2.16 meters tall, although he is in the center position, but maybe in the end he will defend Yang Di, and Chandler is far behind, compared with Yang Di, the height difference is not so obvious.

The bald referee carried the basketball to the center circle and beckoned the players of both teams, indicating that the ball was intact and had not been tampered with.

He looked at the time, then put the whistle in his mouth, holding the ball in one hand and raising it in the other.

"Toot ~"

With a whistle, he threw the basketball into the air.

The two men in charge of the jump ball were about the same speed, but the older Ben Wallace seemed to be a little quicker, jumping ahead of Chandler to take advantage and finally touch the basketball first.

The basketball was picked up by Pau Gasol behind him and passed back to Rajon Rondo.

Rondo has a long arm to control the ball, skillfully dribbling the ball over half the court, the young man looks strange, but his ability to control the ball is outstanding, and the basketball seems to have spirituality in his hands.

Byron opened his arms to defend Rajon Rondo, a 22-year-old who had only played two seasons.

This season, Rondo has been a solid starter for the Celtics, averaging 10.6 points, 5.1 assists and 1.7 steals in 29 minutes per game, with just 1.9 turnovers per game, the fewest of any player averaging more than five assists per game.

Rondo has an introverted personality and a calm style of play, and his talent at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends has gradually been recognized by the outside world.
