Chapter 802 The Best Team in History

The finals will begin in three days. Bai Jidong and his teammates have been training all day long. Each of them knows very well that the Celtics this season may be one of the strongest teams in history. (maybe none of them)

In preparation for this round of the series, Casey arranged two mock confrontations every day.

"Everyone says we don't have a chance and we're overreaching, so let's show them how overreaching we are!" Casey yelled during practice.

After all, the Timberwolves are a three-peat king team, even if the opponent is the invincible Celtics, they are fearless.

Three days later, the North Shore Garden Arena.

The curtain of the finals kicked off here. The Timberwolves witnessed the appearance of the Celtics. Bai Jidong saw two former teammates covering their chests, completely merging himself with the Celtics' glorious history.

Look up at the championship flag on the roof of the arena and those immortal retired jerseys. Except for the Lakers, other teams dare not look up when they come to this arena.

Compared with the Celtics, their team history is simply bleak. Even though the Timberwolves are the most successful team in the NBA in recent years, they are slightly weak in front of the Celtics.

Bai Jidong walked to the midfield and shook hands with McGrady.

Both of them felt like they were destined.

The two started their careers in the same place, experienced glory, pain, frustration together, and finally left there.

Bai Jidong is successful in a new place, and Mai Di is also eager to succeed.

"Bye, I have dreamed countless times that we would meet in the finals, and now my dream has come true."

Mai Di's dead fish eyes are rarely opened wide, and his mouth is smiling like a peach blossom.

Bai Jidong corrected him earnestly: "This is not a dream, it's a stupid nightmare."

"You can say whatever you want, I am very glad to meet you here, I believe this is the best arrangement." McGrady said. "I hope none of us will leave any regrets."

"Yes, just leave no regrets." After recounting the past, Bai Jidong retreated to his own half.

The strength of the Celtics is beyond doubt, they gathered the Big Four.

Garnett, McGrady, Pierce, Ray Allen.These four were once the masters of the first team, and now they are all at the end of their peak, coming to the same team for the same goal.

The regular season's 72+10 king-level team is not their full strength. After entering the playoffs, the Celtics' Big Four officially merged. They no longer rely on their talents to fight individually, but integrate into a whole.

Therefore, they won [-] consecutive victories in the playoffs and reached the finals without landing a game.

"Bi, what do you think of this game?" Bill Simmons' friend wanted to know his opinion.

Simmons said with a smile: "We have all seen bad villains. The Timberwolves are that bad villain. I respect their achievements in the past three years, but this Celtics team is the strongest in history. Pay attention, it is the strongest in history, stronger than the Celtics in 1986!"

As we all know, Simmons firmly believes that the Celtics in 1986 are the strongest team in history, stronger than the 96 Bulls and 07 Timberwolves.

He said that this year's Celtics are stronger than the 86 Celtics, and he indirectly said that this Celtics is the strongest team in history.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there are countless super teams, and each era has a master.

As strong as the Timberwolves in 07, if it is said that he is the best team in history, all the ancient fans expressed their dissatisfaction.

And the Celtics, which won 72 wins in the regular season before finishing, are undisputedly the strongest team in history.

In the playoffs, they completed a powerful evolution, beating their opponents by an average of 21 points per game, as if going through the motions, they were unstoppable.

Now they're on the court together, Garnett banging his head on the hoop, pounding his fists on his chest, talking to himself in a daze.

Minnesota fans are all too familiar with this scene. Garnett can bring a tough temperament to a team.

And this kind of temperament has been in the Green Army since ancient times.

It's just that the Green Army has been unable to complete the reconstruction due to various accidents in recent years, and it took more than [-] years to rebuild its glory.

Garnett brought back the iron blood of the Celtics, he is a natural Celtic.

Medved walked to the middle of the court, ready to jump the ball with Perkins.

Perkins' expression was like a stone, without any extra waves. It was the first time Medved had encountered such a quiet opponent.

Most of the opponents I met before started talking about how to beat him, or kick his ass into what shape, etc. before the game started.

Only this Perkins, he didn't even bother to speak, and the expression on his face couldn't convey any emotion.

"Kendrick, bring the racket here." McGrady laughed.

Perkins jumped up silently and scrambled for the ball with Medved.Medved yelled, his physical fitness is far better than Perkins, the gap between the two is reflected in the bullet speed.

Medved seems to have turned into a human ape, and such explosive power should never appear on a person of his height.

With such explosive power, Perkins is doomed to be difficult to complete what McGrady asked him to do.

Medved took the lead to touch the ball and slapped it behind Ukic.

"Defend! Prevent them to death!" Pierce roared.

Ukic is facing the 203 cm McGrady.

In the position of point guard, Ukic usually has a height advantage against opponents, but unfortunately he met McGrady who swung to the No. [-] position this time.

Facing McGrady, his height advantage disappeared. The only good thing is that McGrady's defense is not very good, and he can't put pressure on the smaller one like Bai Jidong.

Even if McGrady's defense is not good, Ukic will have difficulty passing his defense.

The gap between the two is so big that it can be seen with the naked eye, and McGrady can block most of Ukic's vision just by opening his arms.

The gap in talent is so obvious that it is deeply hopeless.

Ukic passed the ball to Yi Jianlian, and he faced Garnett.

If Garnett hadn't left the Timberwolves, he should be Garnett's backup now.

"Chair man, let me see what you can do without the white wolf!" Garnett shouted.

The two tied the knot in the regular season, let alone meet in the finals, just roll up your sleeves and do it.

Yi Jianlian became ruthless and slammed into it with all his strength.This actually followed Garnett's mind.

To force him with Yi Jianlian's strength?This is simply a joke, he can't succeed.

Yi Jianlian did a stupid thing, and Garnett resisted him like a child out of the hot zone.

Bai Jidong knew that if he didn't respond, Yi Jianlian might get overheated and make an unexpected choice.

So he ran forward quickly, trying to meet him.

The Celtics have done a good job in this kind of off-ball defense that echoes each other. It is not easy for Bai Jidong to connect with Yi Jianlian.

"White Wolf, I have blocked your way!" Pierce shouted.

Bai Jidong knocked Pierce away, and the whistle sounded.

The referee called Bai Jidong's off-ball foul.Bai Jidong opened his eyes wide, trying to see if he was blowing him.The referee's instructions were clear, it was his foul.

It seems that his superstar whistle is not easy to use at the North Shore Garden Arena.

"It is said that Boston likes confrontation, so this kind of confrontation is unbearable?" Bai Jidong had no choice but to sneer.

Pierce sneered and said, "You can tell the referee about these things. His scale is beyond my control."

"What? You can't influence the referee's scale? Isn't this your home court? You don't even have such influence in your own home court?" Bai Jidong looked at Pierce in astonishment.

Pierce said: "We never deal with the referee, he can blow whatever he wants."

Bai Jidong almost believed it. The series of off-court tactics used by the leader in red back then were very famous. Although the competition was mostly determined by the strength of both sides, off-court factors cannot be ignored.

"Really? Then I can only show respect to you." Bai Jidong ran away.

McGrady received the serve and came to the Celtics. He played a position he had never played before-point guard.

He played point forward for the Bulls and played well in the organization, however, he has not been a full-time point guard.

In the Celtics, there is Pierce at the small forward and Ray Allen at the shooting guard. McGrady can only follow Rivers' advice and play point guard.

He's a genius who can adapt to any position.

This season, McGrady played full time, averaging 23 points and 9 assists per game. Although the scoring average was the lowest in the past six years, he successfully revitalized the Celtics, a galaxy warship.

Ukic's straight body can't block his vision. For his height, playing point guard is too bullying.

McGrady didn't eat Ukic with his body as soon as he came up, and the Celtics ran steadily.

Perkins' screen quality is very high, and Garnett has a two-pronged approach. Ray Allen quickly dropped Vashabek and ran out of the three-point line to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer.

The gentleman's sword was unsheathed three times, and went into the basket in response.

"Damn it!" Vashabek stamped his foot.

No one blamed him, the cover just now was so good that no one could keep up.

After only watching this round, Bai Jidong knew that the Celtics were completely different from the regular season.

In the regular season, their tactical moves were extremely chaotic, often making mistakes, and relying more on single-point personal ability blasts.

Now they restrain themselves, contribute their own strengths in this team, and score easily.

A disciplined team is tough at best, but what about a selfless, disciplined All-Star team?

This is why they are favored. There is no absolute leader in this team. They are just a group of strong players who are unwilling to fail and get together.

Looking at James Posey, Sam Cassell, PJ Brown, Eddie House and others sitting off the court, Bai Jidong felt powerless.

He's up against more than a well-coached team.

What he is facing is a star alliance with a mature system, complete running-in and perfect chemistry.

This is why the outside world unanimously looks down on them. They really can't imagine how this team will be defeated.

If Bai Jidong was a bystander and asked him to gamble all his wealth on a winning team, he would also buy the Celtics.
