Chapter 342
Chapter 341 Larry Brown, Who Thinks He Can Do It Again! The Careless Gang Leader Joe!
The gang leader Qiao also wanted to seize the opportunity to see if he could make the Bobcats go a step further.
Eastern teams, each has its own problems.
The 76ers team is too old, Dayao will be 30 years old after this season.
And Dayao himself is also a player with potential injuries.
The 76ers don’t have a strong perimeter player, and they’re not far off in the playoffs.
The biggest problem with the Cavaliers is that James’ skill is flawed.
James’ breakthrough points are indeed able to guarantee the lower limit of the team.
But the team ceiling needs to rely on teammates to raise.
This creates another problem.
When the playoffs need to exert force, James really can’t stand up and play singles with the ball.
And the Bobcats are really not afraid of James.
The Bobcats have Okafor, the rim-protecting center, and Gerald Wallace, Diaw, and the newly signed Brand.
This lineup is the most restrained James.
The Magic, like the Celtics, have an aging lineup.
Magic was traded to Carter in the original history, so Turkoglu was released, and Carter was staying well in the sun in this history.
The Magic did not have a suitable target in the free market and directly chose to re-sign Turkoglu.
Turkoglu is 30 years old and will be 31 at the end of this season.
Rashid is older, now 35.
Lewis is also 30 years old.
Now is not the era of small balls. Under the fierce confrontation in the playoffs, player injuries and even season reimbursements are possible.
If one is injured, the strength of players of this age will be greatly reduced.
The Celtics are similar, Pierce is 33 years old this year, Gentleman Ray is 35 years old this year, and Shane Battier is 32 years old this year.
Gu Yu is indeed young enough, 617, but there is no denying that the Celtics team has begun to age.
Joe’s gang leader also feels that as long as 10 summers, there is no super team formed in the East.
Maybe two years later, the opportunity for the Bobcats may come.
Therefore, this summer will bleed to sign Brand.
However, if Gu Yu knew the thoughts of Gang Master Qiao, he could only say that Gang Master Qiao still wanted to keep things simple.
Cleveland’s No. 23, can’t wait to play brother basketball now.
But in any case, the Bobcats are definitely a strong team.
And the Bobcats have one of Gu Yu’s nemesis Larry Brown.
After Larry Brown was defeated by Gu Yu in 2004, he always wanted to defeat Gu Yu to wash away the shame.
But the Pistons were devastated by the Heat in the playoffs and could not compete with the Celtics at all.
After he went to the Knicks, it was difficult for the Knicks to even make the playoffs, let alone play against the Celtics.
After coming to Lynx, Roy, Brand and others were in their hands.
All at once, Larry Brown felt like he was doing it again!
Before the game started, Larry Brown stepped on Gu Yu without hesitation in the face of reporters.
“Coach Larry, many media outside the world now think Gu is the best basketball player in the world, what do you think about this?
“I don’t know why there is such a statement.”
“In my coaching career, I have seen many great players Erwin Johnson, Michael Jordan, Hakim Olajuwon…
“I don’t think Gu is the best basketball player in the world, if Michael, Hakim, or even Kobe’s teammates who had Gu in the beginning, they could have accomplished more than Gu.
good guy!
The reporters did not expect that Larry Brown would dare to say so.
After all, Larry Brown’s subtext was that Gu Yu was nothing but that his teammates were too strong.
And the reporters, who were watching the fun and not being too serious, blocked the gate of the training hall before the start of the game to interview Gu Yu.
When Gu Yu appeared, the reporters immediately surrounded Gu Yu like smelling bloody sharks.
“Gu, what do you think of Coach Larry’s words?”
“Coach Larry thinks your teammates made you, what do you think about that?35
“What do you think of what Coach Larry said?”
Jingjing
Gu Yu was also a little confused at this time, what did Larry Brown say?
After signaling the reporters to be quiet, Gu Yu asked and found out what was going on.
“I never considered myself the best basketball player in the world, after all, basketball is a five-man sport and I can’t play a game by myself.
“So, I don’t think people who really know the ball will discuss it at all.
What Gu Yu said was official, but also insinuated Larry Brown.
What does it mean that those who really understand the ball won’t discuss it?
You mean Larry Brown doesn’t understand the ball?
Before the start of the game, the smell of gunpowder on both sides had already risen.
Gu Hei and Gu Fan have started a new round of online confrontation.
“Gu is quite self-aware and admits that he is not the best basketball player in the world!
“Is it a fool upstairs? I can’t see that Gu is being polite. Who in the world can beat Gu?
“Is Larry Brown confused? Do you really think Kobe is better than Gu? 35
“Gu’s teammates are ranked the best in the entire NBA history. It doesn’t mean much that he can win the championship.
“Laughing to death, another teammate is too strong, so the gold content of the championship is not enough. Whose championship has the highest gold content? Kobe’s?”
Thanks to the war of words before the start of the game, this game is more interesting.
ESPN therefore sent commentators Mike Brin and Amy John to come to the scene to explain.
“Mike, the players on both sides have already entered the field and started to warm up. Which team do you think will win?”
“Amy, I’m bullish on the Celtics. Compared to the young Bobcats, the Celtics are the stronger team.”
“I think the Bobcats are very hopeful to win this victory, but no matter which side wins, I believe it will not be easy…
At this time, the atmosphere in the stadium was also a little dignified.
The Bobcats have a good relationship with the Celtics.
The star Roy is a star under Gu Yu’s personal brand, and everyone trains together in the off-season.
Diao also went out from the Celtics and was a teammate who won the championship with Gu Yu at the time.
During the warm-up phase, neither of them came to say hello.
The expressions of all the members of the Bobcats team were very solemn.
Makes the Celtics seem to be back in the playoffs.
Gu Yu glanced at Larry Brown on the sidelines and guessed that there was a high probability that Larry Brown had said something.
1……
So how can it be?
The Bobcats are strong and true, but the Celtics are stronger!
The warm-up was over soon, and the game started soon.
The Celtics’ starting lineup: center Aldridge, power forward Shane Battier, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Junzi Lei, point guard Gu Yu.
Bobcats starting lineup: center Okafor, power forward Elton Brand, small forward Diaw, shooting guard Gerald Wallace, point guard Roy.
After playing with the 76ers, Adelman began to try to give up Perkins.
The biggest role of Perkins is to be a meat shield center and top defense in the low post.
Peak king, even Christie has a three-pointer.
Adelman, as the head coach, naturally wants to make the five people on the court have offensive threats.
beep!
With the referee’s whistle sounded, after Aldridge successfully jumped the ball, the game officially began.
Although Gu Yu is a point guard in name, he actually plays at the 4th and 5th positions.
After holding the ball in a high position, Pierce came to the flank, Junzi Lei and Shane Battier started tactical moves at the same time.
bump!
Gerald Wallace, who was chasing Junzi Lei, only felt that he had hit a wall.
With the help of Aldridge’s cover, Junzi Lei successfully got rid of Gerald Wallace.
Okafor himself is a traditional center, so he is a good player in low-post defense and singles, and switching defenses, especially chasing defenders, is simply not enough.
After Junzilei ran out of the space, he received a pass from Gu Yu and shot directly from beyond the arc.
Swish!
The basketball hollowed into the net, and the entire North Shore Garden was filled with cheers in an instant.
When Larry Brown saw this scene, his expression didn’t change.
Although he wants to defeat Gu Yu, he is not a fool.
The Celtics’ lineup is extremely capable of creating gaps and dislocations.
The lineup of the Bobcats will definitely suffer somewhat against the Celtics.
It was the Bobcats’ turn to attack.
Roy and Brand started with a mid-range pick-and-roll.
Guard and forward pick-and-roll, the most classic of course is the Utah Shuangsha.
Roy and Brand are both very accurate in the mid-range.
In the original history, Roy’s mid-range hit rate this season is 44.1%, and Brand’s mid-range hit rate is 42.9%.
With such a hit rate, no one dares to let go of the mid-range.
Although Gu Yu is a point guard in name, he usually plays at the 4 on the defensive end.
Just as Roy was about to shoot, Gu Yu switched over.
Seeing Gu Yu in front of him, Roy knew very well how terrible Gu Yu was. He did not choose to shoot, but accelerated to break through.
Gu Yu chased and defended Roy, and the two came to the penalty area with their front and back feet.
At this time, Aldridge, who was protecting the basket in the penalty area, saw this scene and decisively chose to double-team Roy.
