The Celtics played really tough today, firstly, the opponent was the Lakers, and secondly, the Lakers' deliberate approach to them made them feel more hatred for the same enemy, and they were already ready to enter the playoffs and played the first quarter that surprised the man.

The Lakers also played well in the first quarter, but the Celtics played equally well, and the endless stream of role players who took turns to play were stunned to play head-to-head with the Lakers!

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 27! Comparable!

The starters of the two teams played directly in the first quarter, the game of the two teams was too intense, and no one played badly, but the players of both teams played extremely well, and the tactics were played, once the substitution may affect the rhythm of the players' play, and the two teams did not foul much, after all, it was a national live broadcast on multiple TV stations, and Avery Bradley and Liu Ren were counter-killed in the process of mutual yin, and the Lakers originally disdained the yin tricks on the court, so the two teams did not foul much, Because it is the strongest two teams in history, the strength of both sides is still in the top four in the east and west, and the referee will not blow the whistle as long as the confrontation is not too big, so the two teams did not foul much in the first quarter, and they both scored in the confrontation between technology and muscle.

watched Kobe Bryant play with a group of young people with his old arms and legs, and just after the first quarter, D'Antoni quickly replaced Kobe, Kobe Bryant, the old man, was still playing very high.

And Liu Ren returned to the main lineup in the earlier game as a soy sauce control point, saving his strength and taking the role of rotating the lineup.

For the Lakers, rotation time is actually more important than the time spent on the main lineup, and they were able to win 74 last season because of the complete suppression of opponents by rotation time.

And this year's record has declined so much, winning more than a dozen fewer games, the biggest reason is that the strength of the rotation squad has declined because of the rotation rest.

But rotation is a must, the players must take care of their emotions in the regular season, and when it comes to the playoffs, they will not be given starters, and they will not be given stable playing time, after all, sometimes there may be the possibility that the main players may play more than 40 minutes or even the whole game, at this time they have played the regular season for so long, the team has sacrificed their records for them, and it is time for them to sacrifice, at this time they need to maintain a good state in the playing time that may not be much or even intermittent, and they must be used at any time, But they may be deprecated at any time.

That's how important role players are.

However, basically no other team has the luxury of the Lakers, Monroe and Gasol are the fourth and fifth frontcourt substitutes, of course, this also increases the difficulty of D'Antoni to adjust the psychological emotions of the players.

At the start of the second quarter, D'Antoni was replaced by Clarkson, McCollum, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Gasol.

On the Celtics' side, Coach Stevenson was replaced by Marcus Smart......

Marcus Smart is a point guard who doesn't know how to describe it.

He's great on the defensive end, he's fast when he's heavy, and he can stand up to Westbrook's type of point guard.

But he's short in height, just 1.9 meters, and it's over when he meets a projection opponent, Curry's kind of shooting him to lose his passion for basketball.

But overall, Marcus Smart's defense is very good, after all, there are only a few point guards who can shoot like Curry himself, except for Curry's own Jingtian, Lillard's Changtian, and Isaiah Thomas's Hao.

The most indescribable thing is that Marcus Smart is a new-age point guard, and his shooting and passing are simply corn-eyed after watching it.

One of this year's rookies is a player named Moodier, who once did something that today's scouts find out of the ordinary, learning to play overseas after Jennings High School.

Jennings was too poor in culture to be admitted to college, and his family had no money, so he couldn't repeat his studies for a year, so he could only go overseas to play.

And Moodier has an invitation letter to college, he chose not to go to college, but went to the CBA to make a lot of money, and then the CBA's performance was also unsatisfactory, plus the non-NBA professional league cannot cultivate a foreign aid who spent millions of dollars like the NCAA, Moodier's year in the CBA basically did not improve, wasted a whole year, and then fell from the top favorite to the eighth pick before being selected by the Nuggets.

Originally, some teams felt that because Moodier had not made any progress in going overseas for a year, it was still only the level of American high school seniors who did not choose him, and felt that this reason for not choosing him may be a little too cautious, what if people are very suitable for playing in the NBA?

The team that felt that way was relieved after Moodier played a few games.

Moodier has played 72 games so far this year, averaging 12 points on 14 shots per game...... That is, on average, you don't get 1 point on a shot.

It's a very vague concept, and you can look at it this way.

This season has basically come to an end, whether it is player data or team data, it is basically fixed, even if the top three players in the scoring title battle score 100 points in a single game, that is, add 1 point to the average points per game, Curry is now averaging 32 points per game, Harden is averaging 29.2 points per game, Isaiah Thomas is averaging 28.7 points per game, these two can't catch up with Curry for 100 points per game in a single game, of course, if they can average 100 points per game in the remaining games, of course, it's not impossible, don't even think about it.

This year, the Jazz are the worst scoring team in the league, and the rhythm, number of shots, and shooting percentage of the entire Jazz are outrageously low, with an average of 80.4 shots per game and 96 points per game, which translates to 1.2 points per shot, while Moodier can only score 0.8 points per shot......

Moodier is known as the most iron-clad player in history.

However, this was just Moodier's high-profile entry into the CBA that year, and then came back and lost in the draft, and sprayed the previous few teams that did not pick him will regret it, which caused huge attention, and then he really did not disappoint the people who watched the excitement, and played a shocking season, and Towns, who was not so favored in the draft at that time, also averaged 14 shots per game, but averaged 20.3 points per game, becoming the first time in five or six years after Tyrek Evans and Blake Griffin in 2009 to average 20+ points per gameThe rookie also had 10.5 rebounds, becoming the first rookie to average a double-double number of rebounds per game since Griffin......

Not to mention Towns, the Magic's Okafor averaged 18 points and 9 boards per game, the 76ers' Russell averaged 17 points and 5 assists per game, the Suns' Booker averaged 15 points per game, and the Knicks' Porzingis averaged 14 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game......

In this comparison, Moodier is simply not too bad, and one thing worth mentioning is that Towns is shooting 36 percent from three-point range, while Moodier is shooting 35.7 percent overall from the field......

Moodier's earth-shattering season this year is already amazing, but since it's only his rookie season, many people still expect him, just as if he is a freshman in college this year, the NBA training is several dimensions stronger than the CBA, and the next season may change after a year of training, especially since they have a long offseason.

Moodier's rookie year was amazing...... But, in fact, he is not the hardest player in the NBA, there is a player who is even more brutal than him, and is a sophomore.

This person is now Smart, who Stevens has replaced with a mentality that he doesn't know how to describe it.

Smart, a sophomore, is averaging three of nine shots per game while shooting 33 percent from the field and 25 percent from three-point range.

Smart is the only player in history who has played more than 40 times in a single season and averaged more than 20 minutes per game since the NBA's inception.

This is the real iron! Especially the three-point shot, I don't know if the point guards selected by the Celtics themselves are so iron.

Smart also has a very strange desire to shoot three-pointers, and he has averaged one three-pointer per game this year with a 25 percent shooting percentage.

Coach Stevens prayed for Smart to dribble to the front court and give the ball to Evan Turner, however, Smart's three-point quartet was about to start again.

Normally, Smart really makes one three-pointer per game, and most of the time there is one and only one.

First of all, the first part, come up and try the feel.

After Smart dribbled to the frontcourt, McCollum looked surprised and went straight to the three-point line to shoot a three-point shot......

Direct ejection out of bounds......

Just came up and the first round was over?

That's what the Lakers players thought on their faces.

The first round was over again......

It's an idea that Celtic players are used to.

The Lakers baseline ball, when Clarkson advanced to the frontcourt, passed to Liu Ren, who pulled out the ball.

Defending Liu Ren is Evan Turner, although Avery Bradley and Smart are obviously better defensively, but the height disadvantage of the two is too great, and they will be viciously retaliated against with small moves against Liu Ren, especially the tragic end of Dundee Jones, so that the players who want to do dangerous moves on Liu Ren are basically extinct.

It's the same as O'Neal who has never been dunked since his NBA rookie year, the first time someone dunked him, he elbowed half of his lungs and then dunked the basket in the same game.

This unlucky guy is Derrick Coleman, who entered the NBA two years earlier than O'Neal.

So the Celtics could only let the real small forward defend Liu Ren.

Liu Ren leaned on Evan Turner to break through, so scared that Smart directly wrapped it up, Liu Ren passed the ball to Clarkson, and Clarkson hit it from mid-range.

Offense and defense converted to the Celtics' offense, Coach Stevens yelled, Smart ran to the front court stupidly, he wanted to continue to try his touch.

Smart is very aggrieved every time he plays a strong team, and Curry, the first pitcher, said that he can only score by shooting more three-pointers, how can he get his feel back if he doesn't shoot? 10
