, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!

Just when Stoudemire thought that Jeff Green was going to attack the frame, he suddenly discovered that the basketball in Jeff Green's hand was missing.

In the next second, Garnett, who came to the penalty area, directly scored a layup under the interference of Cousins.

Stoudemire: "Water?"

what's the situation? Obviously Jeff Green received the pass, why did it run into Garnett's hands.

"A very beautiful pass. After Jeff Green received the basketball, he immediately passed the ball to Garnett with a no-look pass! From Amare's expression, it is not difficult to see that he seems to be Didn't react."

Through the playback on the big screen, it can be clearly seen that when Jeff Green received the basketball, Garnett was cutting inside, and the moment Jeff Green turned to face the frame, he handed the ball to the inside cut Gane Special, a very stealthy pass.

As a four player, it is really surprising that he can make such a delicate pass.

In fact, Jeff Green is a combo forward, able to control the ball or play low-post singles, with excellent wing defense; unstable shooting, but capable of mid-range and long-range shooting; excellent outside marking ability, but poor inside defensive ability.

Rivers waved his arm off the court, which was one of the results Rivers wanted.

It is estimated that before this game, no one would have thought that Rivers would use Jeff Green, a player who does not have a high sense of presence and who has just joined the Celtics, as a breakthrough.

In fact, this is also one of Garnett's thoughts at the player meeting yesterday, and it is also the suggestion Garnett and Rondo made to Rivers. They are looking at Jeff Green's pass support and outside marking ability.

;/a>

This ordinary goal did not attract much attention.

But thinking of the Celtics putting Jeff Green in the fourth position and Garnett in the fifth position, Lian Dao seems to understand the Celtics' intentions.

The Knicks attacked, and this time Lian Dao finally caught the basketball.

Lian Dao accelerated his breakthrough with the help of Stoudemire's cover, trying to hit the inside line and score a layup.

However, as soon as Lian Dao got rid of Pierce, Jeff Green directly posted up and stood firm. Although Jeff Green lacked interior defense, his outside defense ability was still very good.

Lian Dao hurriedly wanted to turn around to avoid Jeff Green's defense, but he was caught off guard because he turned too fast and bumped into Jeff Green's body.

"Beep!"

Offensive foul!

"Jeff Green's position is very smart. He directly blocked Sickle's breakthrough route. Such fouls are not often seen on Lian Dao. It seems that this time the Celtics replaced Jeff Green. Intentional."

Between offense and defense, Jeff Green, a rookie who has just joined the Celtics, has begun to attract the attention of some people.





After the first quarter of the game, Jeff Green's performance was very good.



On the offensive end, he has become the pivot of the Celtics. With some passing and receiving, as long as Jeff Green points the ball, the offense will basically be smoother and smoother.

On the defensive end, although he still couldn't guard Stoudemire inside, he teamed up with Pierce to double-team Lian Dao, constantly delaying the Knicks' outside offense.

The external defense formed by him and Pierce allowed the Knicks to rely on the inside cooperation of Stoudemire and Cousins ​​to score for a long time in the first quarter.

It is a risky move for Rivers to take out Jeff Green, but from the current point of view, the effect is still very good.

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led the Knicks by two points at 29:27.

In the first quarter of the game, Garnett made 6 of 8 shots and scored 12 points. He is currently the player with the highest score on the court.

But at the end of the first quarter, D'Antoni and all the Knicks players did not focus on Garnett, but on Jeff Green.

Jeff Green made 2 of 3 shots in the first quarter and scored 4 points and 4 assists!

It was Jeff Green's support that was the main reason why Garnett scored 12 points inside.

Jeff Green doesn't have amazing athletic ability, nor does Paul Pierce have extremely comprehensive skills, but Jeff Green's basketball IQ, back-to-basket and face-to-basket skills, as well as this guy's passing and perimeter defense, all Let the Knicks suffer in the first quarter.

"Jeff Green has caused us too much trouble. Since the opponent wants to block our outside line, then we will do what we can."

"sickle, you continue to attract double-teams, Amare, the offense in the second quarter, you are the core of the offense, since the opponent has leaked the weakness, we poked twice hard, I am really sorry!"

D'Antoni then adjusted his tactics.

Although the Knicks trailed by two points after the first quarter, it can be said that the Celtics' offense has been quite successful.

However, D'Antoni was not in a hurry, because the Knicks this season are not like last season, with only one scoring point.

With Stoudemire this season, he can easily switch the core of the offense. Moreover, with Lian Dao joining the defense, Jeff Green's shots will definitely not be as easy as in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics took the lead in attacking.

When Garnett and Rajon Ron made more baseline shots, Lian Dao came to Pierce's side.

"Paul, do you think this can defeat us?"

"Oh, at least we're leading now, aren't we? Mr. MVP!" Paul Pierce smiled and responded to Lian Dao's trash talk.

Lian Dao was not angry, but also smiled.

Seeing Rondo hold the ball for halftime again, Lian Dao and Pierce fought together again.

This time, Stoudemire did not allow Jeff Green to catch the ball easily. He stuck to Jeff Green's side tightly, preventing Jeff Green from having any room to play.

Seeing this situation, Jeff Green pulled to the outside line and brought Stoudemire to the outside line.

In this way, Garnett has room for singles with the ball in the paint, and Jeff Green has a long-range shot. He is still a threat.

However, Stoudemire did not hesitate, and immediately gave up defending Jeff Green outside the three-point line, and double-teamed Garnett without hesitation.

Garnett's 12-point status in a single quarter is not a joke. No one is sure now. Let this old guy continue to play. He may really dream of returning to the top and hit the next 30 or 40 points.

When Garnett saw Stoudemire double-teaming, he gave up the singles and passed the ball to Jeff Green on the outside. Jeff Green has the ability to shoot from a long distance. Although he doesn't have many shots from the outside, he His three-point shooting percentage is also close to 40%.

Jeff Green is ready to catch the ball and wait for Garnett's pass.

"Be careful!" Pierce's reminder surprised Jeff Green.

But before he could react, he saw Lian Dao wearing a white No. 1 jersey in front of him.

"Snapped!"

Lian Dao was ahead of Jeff Green, shot the basketball, and immediately controlled the basketball.

"Sickle's steal, the timing of this steal is very subtle, he has fully judged the Celtics' passing strategy. It seems that he has long been prepared for Jeff Green!"

"After Sickle's steal, he pushed forward quickly. Jeff Green's speed did not catch up with Lian Dao. It was too fast. Once Lian Dao started, the Celtics' old footsteps would have nothing to do with him!"

Lian Dao got inside the three-point line, and there was no one in front of Lian Dao. He directly joined the ball, took three steps, stepped on the free throw line and took the first step, and jumped angrily.

The body is gliding in the air, the body is like a bow, the arms are raised high, and then the basketball is smashed into the basket!

"Bang!

"

Lian Dao steals and dunks and scores one-stop.

After landing, the fingers of the left hand point to the audience, and the right hand is placed next to the ear to express listening.

The fans at the scene burst into thunderous cheers instantly.

When returning to defense, Lian Dao looked at Pierce beside him.

"Be careful, it's already tied!" Lian Dao continued to irritate Pierce with trash talk.

"Lucky little guy~www.mtlnovel.com~ just wait, we will definitely blow you up!" Pierce held back his mouth.

Lian Dao didn't argue with him, but opened his arms again and continued to enter a new round of defense.

Rivers also just felt that the Celtics' pass was a bit too big just now. He believes that Rondo will make adjustments on the field next, and he still believes that there is nothing wrong with this tactic.

Same situation, only this time Jeff Green gave the ball to Pierce.

In an instant, a duel between Lian Dao and Pierce formed on the field.

Pierce's offensive skills are very good, but Lian Dao did not lose his position at all, but in the end, Pierce scored a turnaround jumper.

This old guy's offensive skills are really not bragging. Although his athletic talent is not as good as that of James and Lian Dao, his offensive skills can definitely beat James by eight blocks, at least the current James.
