The Godfather of Basketball

He holds 8 crowns in his hand, just like the current warriors, he is almost invincible. No matter who is coaching the opposite side, winning once will give them a lot of satisfaction.

Smart dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Horford received the ball in the high post, and the Celtics played a high-post support tactic.

The Celtics' defense is excellent, and the Nets are only stronger so far. Compared with the Nets, the Celtics' lineup has obvious main attack points. They catch the ball.

Horford was forced to turn around and hit the basket, and was finally blocked by Yi Jianlian, who was helping to defend.

The Nets played a fast break, and Irving caught the ball and threw away Smart for a layup.

The opening rounds of the two sides became the epitome of the first quarter of the game. Both teams played high-quality defense, but the Nets did a better job in defensive counterattack. Although the point difference was not big, they reached the first quarter With more than 2 minutes left, the Nets still established a 16-8 lead.

The score is not high, but the mood of the fans is not low. The Nets in front of them are indeed different from before. They are fighting tough battles.

At this time, the two sides entered the rotation one after another. The Nets still kept Jokic and Butler in the starting lineup, and replaced Brogdon, Tucker and Markkanen.

On the Celtics side, only Smart and Horford were left in the starting lineup, and Bradley, Tatum and Marcus Morris were all replaced.

Horford's high support in the frontcourt.

The Nets have rotated, but the defensive intensity has not dropped at all, and the Celtics still don't have many offensive opportunities.

Horford saw that Tatum on the weak side was dislocated and faced Markkanen, and he flicked the ball to the past.

After giving it to the past, he then signaled his teammates to pull away, this is to give Tatum the finishing opportunity.

Tatum turned to face Markkanen, glanced at the unassisted defense on both sides, put on a three-threat to get a little room for himself, and then suddenly started to accelerate inward.

Markkanen's reaction was not slow, and he stepped back to grab the defensive position.

As the fourth position, he has a very good movement speed, and Markkanen is not bad compared to the talent.

But just as Markkanen shrank in, Tatum suddenly stopped and retreated, and directly chose a jumper.

This shot just caught Markkanen and couldn't back up, and he got a very comfortable shooting space.

"Shua!"

The ball crashed into the net.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Tatum's technical moves are done in one go, and the key lies in timing and judgment. He doesn't look like a rookie at all!

Tang Tian was also a little bit greedy. At the time of the draft, apart from Mitchell, Tatum was the one he wanted the most.

The Nets attacked in the frontcourt, Jokic's organization, Brogdon and Markkanen went around the pick-and-roll, and the ball passed to Brogdon.

Brogdon has shown this season what he can fit into the rotation: defense, 3-point shooting and passing awareness.

He just received the ball, saw Tatum coming, and threw a long pass to Tucker.

Tatum reacted quickly, turned around to make up for Tucker, and Tucker returned the ball to Brogdon.

Brogdon catches the ball and makes a shot.

"boom!"

The trajectory of the ball is very positive, but a bit of luck, the ball finally bounced out of the frame.

Morris received the defensive rebound and the Celtics wanted to play a fast break, but the Nets retreated in time and did not give a chance.

When the ball reached the frontcourt, Tatum still had a chance to face Markkanen in a misplaced position. Horford gave the ball in advance, and he held the ball and then rushed in.

But this time, Butler on the weak side came quickly to help defend, Tatum played the ball a little slower, and Morris didn't catch the ball and made a mistake.

Jokic went to the frontcourt and continued to organize. This time Brogdon was very successful around the pick-and-roll, shooting the ball as soon as he caught it.

"boom!"

The ball bounced out of the basket again, and he didn't seem to feel very good tonight.

Horford grabbed the defensive rebound, Brown took the ball and sprinted forward, throwing Butler away for a layup.

Butler's defensive value was full, and he took the lead and almost covered the ball. The ball finally hit the backboard and jumped out of the basket.

But at this moment, a figure quickly followed up to get the ball, and directly scored a dunk.

Tatum!

He's fast on the fast break.

4 to 0, he scored 4 points in a row, helping the Celtics to close the score to 4 points.

"PJ, pay attention to man marking." Tang Tian stood up and shouted at Tucker. He knew that Tatum was very talented, but Tucker's defensive ability was not weak.

The Nets' frontcourt offense, Markkanen got a chance, received an assist from Jokic for a layup and caused Morris to foul.

Two free throws were made, and the Nets finally continued to score.

With the last 20 seconds left in the first quarter, the Celtics had the last chance to attack.

Tang Tian yelled from the sidelines, and the Nets' defense was significantly strengthened.

Morris' air cut, Brown's three-pointer, and Tatum's counterrun were all blocked.

The ball ended up in the hands of Smart, who was the most unsure, and there was not much time to attack. Seeing that he could only force one shot, Tatum ran to the three-point line and asked for the ball.

Smart quickly dumped the pot, and Tatum had only 3 seconds left to catch the ball.

The defender in front of him was still Tucker, who was trained by Tang Tian in front of him. His current defense was very aggressive, and he didn't give Tatum any room to get rid of or start.

Tatum raised the ball high and could only choose a strong shot from the spot.

Tucker stretched out his long arms to interfere.

Tatum's back in the air.

This ball is very difficult.

However, Tatum's wingspan is indeed excellent, and he still made a complete shooting posture in the back.

The ball was shot, and the red light on the sidelines followed.

"boom!"

The ball bounced into the net after hitting the backboard.

Tatum made a three-pointer at the buzzer!

The Celtics bench boiled for a while.

There was an uproar at the scene.

This rookie has scored 7 points in a row in the past two minutes!

It's really amazing!

Tang Tian frowned slightly.

Tucker's defense of the ball just now couldn't be better, and Tatum's state tonight is really good.

"Mitchell, you are ready to play." Tang Tian called Mitchell from the end of the bench during the intermission.

Brogdon missed two three-point opportunities in a row. Tonight's state does not look very good. Coupled with Tatum's performance, if they continue to use the original rotation, they will be at a disadvantage on the bench.

At this time, try Mitchell. If you can fight against each other and maintain the point difference, it will not be a loss.

Mitchell was activating the roster, but he didn't have many opportunities to play, let alone regular time rotation. Now seeing Tang Tian's gesture, he quickly took off his training clothes when he got up.

He is proud and arrogant, which can be seen from the sentence he said in the draft that he wanted to help the Nets win the championship. Now that Tatum of the same class has such a performance on the court, he can't wait.
