The Way of the Center - Chapter 799

The operation of the Boston Celtics this summer can definitely be described by the word “excellent”.

On the basis of the original lineup, they signed the Jazz star Gordon Hayward, after which they also acquired the talented Kyrie Irving through a trade. Coupled with the original All-Star insider Horford, the Celtics lineup is enough to make them a real powerhouse in the East.

For now, Irving has done no worse than Isaiah Thomas after joining the Celtics. The Celtics are now ranked second in the Eastern Conference, just one win worse than the Cavaliers of the Eastern Conference.

Moreover, both Irving and Hayward’s performance are getting better, and as the game gets deeper and deeper, the running-in between them and the team is getting better and better.

Just as the Celtics achieved four consecutive victories, they finally met an opponent who was enough to test the strength of the team, the Portland Trail Blazers!

This game was selected by many TV stations as the live broadcast of the day in the United States. Media from all over the world have gathered in Portland, ready to report on this strong dialogue in all aspects.

The confrontation between the veteran giants led by Irving and the new overlord led by Anjie, this gimmick alone is enough to excite the fans.

It’s not just fans and reporters who are looking forward to this game. Kyrie Owens have also been preparing for this battle for a long time.

After leaving LeBron James, the most important thing Irving needs to do now is to prove himself! He needs to prove that he is also a star that can be on his own. He wants to prove that he is not just living under James’ protection.

If the Celtics can successfully defeat the Blazers and Irving can play well in it. There is no doubt that Irving has since got rid of the shadow of LeBron James.

On the other hand, when the Trail Blazers created three consecutive championships, Irving was very regretful that he suffered an accidental injury in the first game of the Finals and was reimbursed for the season. In that year, the Cavaliers were completely swept by the Blazers.

At that time, Irving was unwilling to drop his jersey, which he has never forgotten until now. This time, I had the opportunity to wrestle with Anjie and the Trail Blazers, which is also one of the reasons why Irving is looking forward to this game.

This game is very important to Irving, so this guy has a serious expression from the moment he gets on the plane.

Irving’s serious attitude also affected his teammates. Hayward and Horford are also facing rivals, and the entire team has become extremely serious.

The Celtics marshal Brad Stevens is very satisfied with the atmosphere of such a team. If they want to defeat a team like the Trail Blazers, they must tighten every nerve!

I don’t know if Portland is ready, after all, this time, the Celtics are not going to give the Blazers a victory.

The plane crossed the night sky of Boston, and the Celtics, who were ready for battle, were approaching aggressively towards the City of Torn.

“Ann, go to bed soon, it’s too late.” In the dark living room, the TV screen is the only light source.

On the wall, both the minute and hour hands of the clock pointed to 12, and the Portland sky outside the French windows was also completely dark.

Catherine stood sleepily at the door of her room. An Jie was no longer a twenty-two-year-old boy. She didn’t want her husband to overdraft his future health now.

“Go first, baby, I’ll be here after watching this game.” Anjie smiled and pointed to the TV. The TV was showing a video of the Celtics vs. Raptors game.

“Really, I have been in the league for so many years. Which of these opponents have you played against many times? Do you really still use the crazy analysis of the game video like before?” Catherine did not go to bed, but got together with Anjie Arms.

“Every familiar individual comes together through a different combination, and there may be completely different situations. I really know the three of Owen, Hayward and Horford, but I don’t know what the three of them add up to. And you know. Now that the team is in full swing, I don’t want our winning streak to be interrupted.” An Jie kissed Catherine’s forehead, and his tight nerves relaxed a little.

Although this game has no special meaning to Anjie, it does not mean that an eager Anjie will let Owen take away the victory easily.

“You will grow old like this, fool.” Catherine stroked An Jie’s cheek. This guy’s wrinkles were really much more than before.

“Don’t worry, I will retire in a few years anyway.”

“Cut, you still have to win three championship trophies before you are willing to retire!”

“Yes, yes. That’s why I said, I will retire in a few years…”

The night in Portland was getting deeper, and Catherine slowly fell asleep in Anjie’s arms. God knows that the tall number 00 was just joking, and he still considered it seriously. I can’t imagine what it will be like the day An Jie announces his retirement…

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the media, the tickets for this game between the Blazers and the Celtics were robbed early. Even the luxurious boxes in the Moda Center are reserved.

Paul Allen is a businessman, he is willing to spend more than 200 million US dollars to keep Anjie, but not only because of human touch. An Jie continued to stay in Portland, and the benefits to the Trail Blazers were not measurable by that mere $200 million.

“The atmosphere here has almost suffocated me before the game started! Take a look around us Mike, this game has attracted too many people’s attention!” Jeff Van Gundy was sitting on the commentary stage excitedly, as long as it was a pioneer. He can’t wait to watch and interpret the ball of the football team.

“That’s right, Jeff, this is a live broadcast across the United States. I hope the two sides will not let our expectations fall.” Mike Brin has been staring at Anjie and Owen, judging from the warm-up appearance, Both guys are very excited. Maybe the friction between Owen and Anjie might burst into huge sparks?

“Listen guys! I want you to maintain this state, maintain such a serious and rigorous state! We must not make mistakes on the court, as long as a mistake is made, the Trail Blazers have the ability to transfer it to score. This is why a lot of **** The reason why the team lags behind the Blazers by more than ten points in a confused manner is that making mistakes is absolutely forbidden at the Moda Center!” The game is about to begin, and Brad Stevens is also hurrying to make the final deployment.

This young coach is very aware of the power of the Trail Blazers to switch offense. He doesn’t want the team to make unnecessary mistakes because they are too excited.

Owen listened to Stevens’s arrangement and nodded softly. At least in the Celtics, there is no player who always negates coaching tactics and makes his own claim.

The electronic buzzer sounded and Owen turned and stepped onto the court. He stood in the predetermined position, closed his eyes and took a big breath.

Another battle of “Uncle Drew” is about to start!

Irving, Jaylen Brown, Hayward, Marcus Morris and Horford, this is the strongest lineup Stevens can rank.

Facts have proved that the Celtics’ starter is also star-studded. After all, Irving, Hayward and Horford have all served as the absolute core of different teams. Jaylen Brown and Marcus Morris are also two practical players with good strength.

At the beginning of the game, Anjie noticed the patience of the Celtics.

In the face of Lillard who calmly holds the ball, Owen is not in a hurry to steal. Patience, patience… Irving knows that he must be patient if he wants to defeat such a team.

The Celtics’ defense is not leaking. Lillard waited for a few seconds on the perimeter and still did not see his teammates running out of the gap.

In this case, Lillard had to use the most primitive method. He lifted the basketball and passed Irving over his head, intending to go directly to the inside and let Anjie solve the problem.

However, this highly purposeful pass was seen through by Marcus Morris.

This guy has been waiting for an opportunity to steal, now, the opportunity is here!

“Damien hit the ball directly into the penalty area…no! The basketball was broken! Marcus Morris’s position was just right! Lillard passed the ball too lightly!”

After Morris got the basketball, he immediately handed it to Irving. Irving pushed forward quickly, but just after passing the center line, he suddenly slowed down.

Owen saw Anjie react quickly as he pushed forward, and this was the reason why he decided to slow down. A brainstorming attack on the basket will probably only give An Jie a wonderful shot like a nail board hat.

Patience, Owen kept repeating the word patience in his head.

Irving held the ball steadily from the perimeter, and only started to act after his teammates were in position.

Hayward’s running position was very positive. Under Marcus Morris Horford’s superb ball-free pick and roll, Iguodala was quickly thrown away.

After going out of the three-point line to catch the ball and shoot, this is Hayward’s favorite rhythm. Seeing that Hayward’s tactic was about to be completed, everyone on the Trail Blazers focused their attention on the handsome white forward.

However, just when Hayward took the three-point line and raised his hand for the ball. Irving did not pass the ball, but suddenly accelerated the breakthrough!

“Smooth acceleration, Damien was overtaken by Irving! The zero guard thought Irving wanted to pass the ball!”

After Owen broke through successfully, he didn’t rush to make a move. He first observed the positions of Angel and Morris, and then glanced at Lillard beside him~www.mtlnovel.com~ These three people were habitually shrinking, and they all thought Owen would Resolutely break through.

Seeing this, Owen smiled slightly.

After he braked suddenly during acceleration, he pulled his crotch back and jumped out of the three-point line again. Seeing that Lillard, who wanted to forcibly change his center of gravity after the defender retreated, slipped, Lillard put his hands on the ground, and he was completely shaken by Owen!

“Nice retreat, Owen played Damien!” Mike Brin’s shout made the temperature of the game rise to the highest point.

Irving, who knocked Lillard down, shot directly from the three-point line, and An Jie immediately got stuck in the rebounding position. But he found that he had no way of judging where to go. this means……

“Three-pointer! Kyrie Irving! As soon as he started, he used a ten-best performance to score a three-pointer! Poor Damien, he will actively become Irving’s background for the entire season! Believe me, The shot just now will be replayed countless times this year!” A beautiful breakthrough followed by a step backward, knocking down the opponent and hitting a three-pointer. It’s no wonder that such a perfect performance will make Mike Brin a climax at the beginning.

“It’s okay, buddy.” An Jie asked concerned, he was afraid that Lillard’s ankle would be hurt just now.

“Fuck! My fault!” Lillard gritted his teeth, which was a shame to him.

An Jie looked up at Irving who had retired. The guy was not excited about scoring the key goal. His eyes were still full of calmness.

“This guy has really grown a lot.” An Jie muttered to himself in his heart.

Kyrie Irving? Since you want to fight, let’s fight!

Irving’s dismissal made the entire Moda Center a dead silence, but An Jie would not let this state last for too long. 21089
