"Jeff, will Boston be at a disadvantage in terms of height when facing Toronto?" Greg Sager asked.

"Of course, Isiah has played very well recently, but he is only 5 feet 10 after all. Not only him, but the opponent is taller than them in every position. But coach Brad Stevens has arranged tactics very well. , without allowing their height disadvantage to be a significant factor limiting their performance," Jeff Van Gundy explained.

"I don't know if Brad will arrange a flank attack accordingly?" Greg Sager said with a smile.

"It's possible, but not absolute, that Brad seems to be very similar to Gregg Popovich in terms of defensive strategy!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

The jump ball started, and Valanciunas beat Horford with the jump ball, and the game officially started.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball across half court, looking for someone at the top of the arc.
