Chapter 1274

Winning the Bucks made the Celtics' record soar!
Their current record has firmly secured the top spot in the league, and now the outside world's discussion on them is not about defending their title, but about how they will defend their title.

But not everyone is bullish, at least some sane professionals say.

They want to defend their title. This season may be difficult, because all teams have improved, especially the strong teams in the east and west!

Then came their upcoming back-to-back games.

February tenth.

After the Celtics won the Bucks, they returned to Boston immediately.

For them, this game can be regarded as a challenging game.

The Clippers' offense is one of the top teams in the league.

If they can be better on the defensive end, maybe even better than last season's results, maybe they will win the championship in a year or two.

However, the brand of this team is quite deep. If you want to change your style of play, you may need a coach who is good at defense.

At this stage.

The record of the Clippers is placed in the entire West, and they are all top-ranked.

Their offense seems to be stronger this season compared to last season.

But how well they play in the regular season depends on how they perform in the playoffs.

In the afternoon, the two sides arrived at the Celtics' home court.

The Clippers arrived for more than an hour, and when the Celtics arrived, they had already accepted interviews.

Qin Tao and Durant greeted Chris Paul and the others from a distance.

After all, they are all living in an alliance, so if you are not familiar with them, you have to chat with them.

After their interview, Qin Tao and his teammates walked over together.

People on both sides were talking and laughing, and they looked quite harmonious.

When it was Qin Tao's turn to warm up, the Clippers did not leave, but sat in the stands and became spectators.

Although there is not much to see in the warm-up, it is better than nothing, and the season is already over half, and the next All-Star is a good vacation.

after.

The two chatted again, and immediately returned to the lounge.

That night.

As the first game of today's game, both sides look good.

Then the players went to the arena one after another, and the fans shouted excitedly when they saw the home team.

All star.

Although it is not held in Boston, it can be described as a rave party for fans.

They deserve to be happy too.

The Celtics alone have several All-Stars.

Needless to say, Qin Tao and Durant were both selected to the Eastern Conference starting lineup with a very high number of votes.

Jokic, a rookie, was selected into the rookie lineup this year because he played well.

Add Rochelle, and the Celtics alone have four.

Previously.

If it weren't for veteran Jason Terry who turned down the invitation to the three-point contest, it would have been five people once shortlisted.

of course.

Compared with a team like the Warriors, they are still a lot worse.

players bench.

The coaches of both sides started the final tactical arrangement, but there was a roar of cheers at the scene.

Turn your head.

When Qin Tao saw the highlights of Paul Pierce's years here on the big screen, he was suddenly stunned.

Yes.

This is a tribute to Pierce.

So they also stopped their own things one after another, and gave them respect and tribute to this veteran who had made great contributions to the Celtics.

Looking at Pierce step by step out of the Clippers, Qin Tao was a little envious of this guy while sighing with emotion.

Although it was a little bit late in the end, but being able to stay in a team for more than ten years and imprinting his mark on this team shows how successful he is.

But for the tribute, because there was no notice before the game, this made the scene a little less flavorful.

soon.

Because the fans were too enthusiastic, Pierce originally just wanted to have fun, but he had to ask for a microphone to thank them for their support for more than ten years.

With both memory and sensationalism, the word "king" suddenly sounded on the scene.

After entering the new era, Pierce deserves to be the soul of the Celtics.

His team leadership experience may not be the best, but with him, the Celtics of the new era will be able to lay the foundation for a strong team.

After some interaction, Qin Tao and the others were filled with emotion.

Thinking about Danny Angie again, he couldn't help curling his lips.

The guy is ruthless enough, but the vision and the way he operates is real.

To make a long story short.

With the matter of Pierce in front, after the warm-up and appearance ceremony of the two teams, and the starters came on the field one after another, they looked very harmonious.

Coincidentally.

Qin Tao glanced at the coaching bench of the Clippers.

Finding that Doc Rivers' emotions were a little bit wrong, Qin Tao couldn't help laughing when he thought of how Pierce was treated before.

He also made a lot of contributions to the team, but now Pierce is the only one who has this kind of treatment. Presumably his mood is also very complicated.

Then there is the jump ball.

Qin Tao and Xiao Qiaodan hugged and made a joke, and Qin Tao took the ball with a little effort.

Again, it is not easy to take the ball away from Qin Tao.

Isiah Thomas pushed forward, and Qin Tao and the others came to the frontcourt first.

correct.

Because Griffin is injured, he will not play this game. The Clippers replaced Luke Richard Mbah a Moute, but it was Pierce who played against Qin Tao.

The core of the old and new Celtics met together, which immediately cheered up the fans.

Although this matchup is a bit unequal, it doesn't stop them from looking forward to it.

Besides, Pierce's defense is definitely not good, but the offense is very worthwhile.

It depends on whether Qin Tao can keep an eye on it, and if he can't, he will watch it.

card position.

go inside.

pass the ball.

Start post-up singles.

If it weren't for the difference in position, Pierce would also be a master of the back.

But now because of his height, strength, and inside skills, he seemed a little anxious, and was easily beaten by Qin Tao in a moment.

Easy to fight again.

There was a shout with Pierce's name on the scene, which made Qin Tao dumbfounded.

Come to the front court.

Because the Clippers only have Jordan on the inside, and everyone else has outside skills, it is natural that the space is very wide.

As the engine and core of the team, Paul has to play this ball without Griffin!
He first organized a set of tactics, and then started facing Isiah Thomas heads-up.

have to say.

There is no harm without comparison.

Isiah Thomas's height and speed are fast enough, but Paul's experience and personal ability are really not comparable to Thomas Jr. when he has both!
Especially Paul's breakthrough, which can be called a master of rhythm, was so close that Thomas Jr. was played so hard that he couldn't find his way.

finally.

With JJ Redick putting a screen in place, Paul scored a jumper with ease!
Everyone has one thought after watching it, that is, this game will be extremely exciting!
