Chapter 286
April 19, 2004, 8 p.m., Vacovia Center Arena.
Nearly 19,000 spectators poured into the stadium to watch the playoffs kick off.
Although the visiting Green Shirts have struggled a bit in recent seasons, they have a strong heritage, especially the star Paul Pierce has a horizontal muscle, which also adds a lot of highlights to this game.
Since Zhang Weiping was going to explain the game of the Lakers next door, Sun Zhengping was invited to guide the game, Xu Jicheng and Su Qun, the editor-in-chief of Basketball Weekly, to comment.
Sun Zhengping: When I saw Paul Pearce, I was infinitely emotional, and we asked this guy in person when we were interviewing in the United States before.
"What kind of person can pull out those tubes in just 4 days after being stabbed 11 times, and show up in the training gym 18 days later? And even the preseason games of that season have not fallen, and the average points per game has increased from 21.3 points to 25.4 points per game, which is simply a physical quality that is against the sky.
"I even suspected that these black NBA players who play basketball have more or less a Y-gene link, belonging to the kind of species with simple minds and developed limbs, and of course, it's a joke, O'Neal is very smart and has very good grades. Xu
Jicheng: Pierce's figure is long, very strong, you can see when he pouts under the basket and beats those guys who are more than half a head taller than himself.
So, let's take a look at the starting lineups on both sides
: Away Boston Celtics
: PG: Chaki Atkins (1.80, 75kg)
SG:
Ricky Davis (1.98, 91kg).
SF: Paul Pierce (1.98,106kg) PF: Eric Williams (2.03,101kg) C: Wenbeck (2.13,109kg)
Philadelphia 76ers start as follows
: PG: Allen Iverson
SG:
Raja Bell
SF: Rayong (2.06,104kg)PF:Keith Van Horn (2.08,99kg)
C:Daco Milisic (2.13,109kg)
Su Qun: You can see if you look at Paul Pearce's weight compared to Ricky Davis of the same height.
Xu Jicheng: That's not it, before Wenbeck's fortune, he was only 104 kilograms in the Bucks, and at 2.13, he was not as heavy as Paul Pearce.
Sun Zhengping: What do you mean by that? Small
tank, small
tank! To be honest, this game is not as much of a topic in the United States as the Pistons and the Heat in terms of the East, mainly because the Celtics and the Celtics really don't have much to say when they get together.
Just one Paul Pearce, there is really no one to come up with, and even Ricky Davis is now going to be ridiculed and ridiculed.
"Barely able to be a twin star, he is compared with the previous Walker, the defensive end must be unbearable, many times he is directly opposite the opposite guard type muscular man, 90 kilograms of weight is really nothing to say. With
the referee's whistle, the jump ball began.
Milicic successfully dialed the ball in the direction of Big Brother Iverson.
Iverson directly turned and spun to the ground, quickly finding Rayong, who had already taken a big stride.
Under Pierce's interference, Rayong only dribbled one step before a dashing throw from the free-throw line and hit the board.
It's very crisp.
Just pass it once
! Just take a good luck
! This is the confidence of
the defending champions! And confidence is always linked to strength!
After the opening kick, the defending champions scored the first goal on their home turf by Rayong.
Celtics' Chucky Atkins quickly found the team's boss Paul Pierce after taking the half.
Rayong immediately stepped forward to block it, and Pierce took two punches before putting it into the hands of Ricky Davis on the other side.
Ragabel stood in front of Davis, waving her arms constantly.
Davis quickly dribbled off the ball and found Wenbeck on the inside.
Wenbeck turned and shot straight away, and was blocked by the young Daco Milicic!
The Celtics' first attack was launched from the inside, but the effect was not ideal.
Before the ball was conceded, Ricky Davis went one step further and scored a rebound against Bale's defensive side.
Xu Jicheng: Don't say it, Ricky Davis is still a player with offensive ability, and his hands are diverse.
Sun Zhengping: It's just that he lacks the temperament of a leader, especially when he is stalemate, he is mainly singles, and he doesn't have the on-the-spot demeanor of a general, which is why the knights still let him go after he played a wonderful performance.
And this player also has to have the ball in his hand, and without the ball has never been his characteristic.
Iverson dribbled over, and after two consecutive crotch drops, he suddenly stepped inside.
Atkins quickly posted up, Iverson saw the opportunity to make a big change of direction and then pulled back, easy mid-range shot, there is also
a very simple attack, that is
, an accelerated pullback, the opponent will not be able to keep up.
The camera quickly cuts to the face of Coach John Carroll on the sidelines, who is also being temporarily pushed to the shelf, in his first season in charge.
It's more just a transitional role, some media said that the current Boston and the former coach of the Magic Doug Rivers are very close, and the two sides are still discussing some details of the contract, if nothing else, Doug Rivers is likely to appear in the Celtics coach position next season.
Paul Pearce took the ball past half and into the hands of Atkins.
Atkins turned around and handed Eric Williams from outside the three-point line on the right.
Van Horn went up, and although Williams is nominally a power forward, he is very skilled on the dribble and has a strong ability to combine the ball.
I saw that he deftly changed hands and dribbled to erase Van Horn's defense, and went straight to Milicic under the basket to lift the ball.
Milicic was young after all, and he couldn't resist the opponent's feints, and he still jumped after the opponent tapped twice in a row.
Eric Williams seized the opportunity and got up directly to make the basket.
Su Qun: To be honest, this ball will blow two plus one if the whistle is stricter.
Now, the referee also gave a very clear hint after the opening, that is, physical confrontation is still advocated in this game, as long as it is within a reasonable range, there is no big problem.
Iverson received the baseline ball and quickly advanced to dribble beyond the three-point line, with Rayong and Van Horn coming out in both directions at the same time.
The Celtics' defense quickly picked up, and Iverson took the opportunity to play inside and meet the long-arm layup of Wenbeck on the inside.
This is the king of this field, this is the king of the league
! No matter how many defenders you have, no matter how strong you are, you can get the ball!
