Chapter 172

"In the previous games, Channing has scored 40, 38, and 32 points in a row. Garnett did not do such a consecutive 30+ points. It also shows that Channing's scoring ability is better than that of KG. At the same level, both of them are very strong on the defensive end, let's just think that Garnett's defense is even stronger."

"Comprehensive evaluation, Channing's offense is stronger, and Garnett's defense is stronger. At the power forward position, the two teams are evenly matched. This is the only position where Philadelphia is not behind."

"In terms of substitutes, the Celtics have alien Cassel, Eddie House, defensive giant Tony Allen, Cobra James Posey, and big baby Glenn Davis. It can be said to be a very good substitute lineup. , In contrast, Philadelphia's bench lineup is very shabby, Louis Williams is okay, Korver can make do, Reggie Evans is also okay, Rodney Carney and Kevin Ollie are just fine. It's much worse, and it is basically certain that if they leave Philadelphia, these players will not be able to gain a foothold in the NBA. In terms of substitutes, the Celtics won again."

"In general, except for Channing's strong point, the Philadelphia team has an overwhelming advantage in the other four positions and the bench lineup. As long as the normal performance is stable and there is no wave, the victory tonight is basically a certainty. things."

"For Philadelphia, it is not so difficult to keep the victory. First of all, Channing needs to face the layers of defense of the Celtics and still score high points. Secondly, Channing must try his best to drive the offense of his teammates. , Again, on the defensive end, they have no chance of making mistakes, once they make too many mistakes, the game will be taken away directly, you must know that the game experience of the Big Three is extremely sophisticated."

The above is the pre-match analysis of the "Philadelphia Basketball News". It is the consistent style of this media that the big opponent blackmails itself, but this time the opponent is too strong. The editor of this article accidentally blacked himself too hard. It directly caused the Philadelphia fans to sigh, and many of them were even unwilling to come to the arena to watch the game.

Even in the locker room of the home team before the start of the game, the overall morale was very low. Most of the players lowered their heads to sort out their affairs, and there were sighs from time to time. The head coach Cheeks saw this scene and didn't know what to say.

It can be said that the continuous defeat, coupled with the arrival of a strong enemy, made the team's morale fall into the lowest point since Channing joined.

"Hey, tonight is another defeat. Losing every day, this game is not as good as surrendering directly."

Rookie Smith said leisurely while tying his shoelaces. Due to Dalembert's continuous absence, Smith's importance has also increased a lot. Therefore, this guy has also become unrestrained.

"Nonsense, whoever dares to say surrender, get out!"

Chan Ning stood up suddenly, staring at Smith with piercing eyes. The sudden anger made Smith cower, and quickly forced a smile on his face to admit his mistake.

The sudden roar made the locker room even more silent. Everyone raised their heads and focused on Channing who was standing in the center.

Stretching out a hand and scanning for a week, Qian Ning said word by word:

"Please keep in mind that basketball is a man's game, you can lose, but you must not be cowardly!"

"Whoever is cowardly now, get the hell out of here immediately! Philadelphia doesn't need softies!"

This sentence was very hard, Iguodala was the first to stand up and respond, and he stretched out a hand in the direction of Channing:
"It's a man's, let's fight tonight!"

"That's right, we haven't fought yet, how do we know we can't win!"

"Fight them!"

"Let them see how great we are!"

Everyone got up one after another, formed a circle, put one hand together, and collectively shouted the slogan before the expedition:

"Philadelphia 76ers, bright sword!"

After such a whole process, the overall morale of the team has improved a lot. The mentality of the players has changed from a buddhist punch card to a man who just fights. Cheeks is very satisfied with Channing's leadership. He winked in the direction of Dalembert:
"Qian, Dalembert still refuses to play tonight, but don't worry, I've made it known that I want to trade him. Several teams are already in contact, but it will take some time."

Qian Ning nodded to the head coach:

"As soon as possible, keeping this guy in the locker room will do more harm than good."

"OK, I see."

Of course Cheeks knew what Channing was referring to. Dalembert said that he had not recovered from his back injury and would not play anyway, but he stayed with the team all the time and even took some bad walks secretly. Rumors, such as telling Reggie Evans that the two of them will be cleared out together, make the honest Reggie Evans always dubious, and the relationship with his teammates these days has also become distant and close.

"Hmph, this restless guy, the rumor spreader, the pest in the dressing room, it seems that he wants to keep you!"

Channing's gaze towards Dalembert began to become a little vicious.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Wachovia Center Arena in Philadelphia, the 76ers sat at home to welcome the Celtics, and the game officially started.

Due to the blessing of the Big Three of the Celtics and Channing's reputation, the game was broadcast live across the United States, and the commentators on the scene were two old friends, Reggie Miller and Barkley.

"Fans and friends, hello everyone, welcome to tonight's game, the players are warming up, and the starting lineups of both sides have been officially released:"

"The starting lineup for the home team Philadelphia 76ers is: point guard Andre Miller, shooting guard Willie Green, small forward Iguodala, power forward Channing, center Smith. It's still the same starting lineup, nothing Change, such a starting lineup has a very good defensive ability. Whether it is Willie Green, Iguodala, or Channing, they are all players who are very good at defending in the same position, and they all have very good defense skills. The ability to switch defenses, it seems that Coach Cheeks still wants to base himself on defense and start from defense."

"The starting lineup of the visiting Celtics is: point guard Rajon Rondo, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Pierce, power forward Garnett, center Perkins. After more than a month of running-in, Kyle The Special Team has finally formed a stable starting rotation. Rajon Rondo has a pair of long arms and is good at destroying the ball and organization of the opponent's perimeter. Pierce and Perkins have injected tough defensive characteristics into the Celtics. Coupled with the presence of Garnett, KG's ubiquitous defense on the court, and his passionate attitude anytime and anywhere, also makes the Celtics' starting lineup also have super strong defensive strength. On the offensive end, the tactics are not complicated, but it doesn’t matter, the personal abilities of the Big Three are enough to make it difficult for opponents to parry.”
