Chapter 171 Against the Green Army
As a rare local sports media in Philadelphia, the "Philadelphia Basketball News" has always had a style of beating opponents before the game. No matter whether the opponent is the powerful Lakers and Spurs in the West, or the Knicks Bobcats at the bottom of the East, the "Philadelphia Basketball News" doesn't care about 21. Coming up is a meal of milk power output.

Encountering the powerful Celtics this time, the "Philadelphia Basketball News" naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity, and quickly published an article comparing the two teams in all aspects, giving the Celtics a hard time. Vomited.

"One is the fourth in the Eastern Conference, and the other is the eighth in the Eastern Conference. Obviously, the record ranking is not enough to explain the huge gap in the lineup and strength of the two sides. The editor made a simple comparison from the five positions. Let's analyze it together. :"

"On the point guard, the starting point guard of the Celtics is Rajon Rondo. In terms of unparalleled talent, he averaged 6.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game last year. 10.6 points and 5.1 assists are a big improvement compared to last year. Although Ray Allen's excellent off-ball running ability is a blessing that cannot be ignored for the number of assists of point guards, it cannot be denied that Rondo is A talented point guard with both passing ability and defensive ability, except for his weak shooting and scoring, Rondo is the standard template among point guards in other respects."

"Compared to Andre Miller, Rondo has better passing vision, better defensive ability, younger, physical strength and athletic ability are more than Miller, in terms of point guard, the Celtics win .”

"In terms of shooting guard, the starting shooting guard of the Celtics is Ray Allen, who was transferred from the Supersonics in the offseason of this season. But no one can deny that Ray Allen is a natural scorer. As he grows older, Ray Allen has gradually reduced his voluntary ball attack. The proportion of shot distribution has become larger and larger, but Ray Allen is still the killer, and he is becoming more and more cold-blooded, and he often seals his throat with a sword at critical moments."

"In contrast, the shooting guards of the Philadelphia 76ers can't shoot at all. Whether it is the starting shooting guard Willie Green or the backup shooting guard Korver, the two together are not enough for Ray Allen. Willy Green is a traditional defensive blue-collar with good defense and other abilities are quite satisfactory. Korver is a more pure three-point shooter. Except for fixed-point shooting three-pointers, other scoring abilities are almost negligible, and Ray Allen's comprehensive attack methods In comparison, Korver is just a functional player, and what is even more unacceptable is that as a pure shooter, Korver's three-point shooting ability cannot be compared with Ray Allen, which is really sad. Shooting guard up, the Celtics are winning again."

"Small forward, Pierce PK Iguodala, last season, Pierce led the Celtics independently, the record is rubbish, Iguodala led the Philadelphia 76ers independently, the record is also very average, now, the identities of the two And status have changed from last year. With Garnett as an excellent big man helper, Pierce is more comfortable on the offensive end. Although he lost some possessions, KG's excellent coping ability makes Pierce's scoring easier. , In terms of defense, the Big Three of the Celtics are all top players in the league. Relatively speaking, Ray Allen's defense is weaker, KG's defense coverage is the largest, and Pierce's defense is very tough."

"Iguodala has been willing to become the second master in recent games. His number of shots and scoring average have declined significantly compared to last season. For some reason, Iguodala has never publicly expressed his dissatisfaction. However, This season, Channing is the new boss of Philadelphia and the only offensive strength of Philadelphia. Iguodala's offensive ability can only be said to be at an average level, and cannot be compared with Pierce. More energy is put on the defensive end, constantly helping Korver and the others to make up defenses. Generally speaking, Pierce is far stronger than Iguodala on the offensive end, and the two are equally divided on the defensive end. The overall score is slightly better than the Celtics. .”

"At the center position, the Celtics have an extremely strong meat shield, Perkins. Although he is not tall enough, Perkins is very powerful, and he is very tenacious in defense. He is good at top defense and rebounding. Kings, together with Garnett, the big spider, two very special player partners, raised the inside defense of the Celtics to the strongest level in the league, and I am afraid that only the Pistons can compare with the Celtics inside."

"Philadelphia's center is really hip-stretching, there is no comparison at all. Dalembert doesn't know what the injury is, and he has rested for several games in a row. Tonight, he is probably sitting as a spectator. Positive, great attitude, but unfortunately lack of body, strength, tonnage, experience skills of blocking, and strength of the bottom plate, Smith is all average, and the center position can be said to be the biggest gap between the two teams."

"The last is the power forward. This position is also the most interesting matchup between the two teams. The old wolf king of the Celtics, Kevin Garnett, is facing the new boss of the Philadelphia 76ers, Channing."

"KG, as the four power forwards with the same reputation as Duncan, Nowitzki, and Chris Webber, Garnett has a rare physical quality in the interior, a slender interior, not as strong as Duncan, but KG's moving speed is slower than Camby's. The striker, coupled with the long arms and legs like a big spider, makes Garnett one of the two strongest help defense duo in the league, and only the peak Warcraft can compare with Garnett. Except for the top help defense In addition, KG also has a strong strength on the offensive end. The second offense in the frontcourt and the pick-and-roll offense are his special skills. Shaking from side to side, leaning back a lot, and a very high release point, KG's shoulder-shaking jumper is difficult to guard against, just like Nowitzki's golden rooster independence, once KG's touch comes, the defender can only look up to the sky and sigh.

"Channing, as the new leader of the Philadelphia team, Channing has shocked everyone's attention with his super fast progress, similar to KG, Channing is also a slender inside line, with the speed of a small forward, good at assisting defense, rebounding ability Very strong, but the difference is that Channing has more means on the offensive end. He can not only break through the frame, but also attack with the ball from outside the three-point line like a small forward. Therefore, how to choose a defensive player to match Channing , has become a headache for NBA team coaches."
