, the fastest update NBA: thetest chapter of the No. 1 forward!
Just when Stoudemire thought that Jeff Green was going to attack the frame, he suddenly discovered that the basketball in Jeff Green''s hand was missing.
In the next second, Gat, who came to the penalty area, directly scored ayup under the interference of Cousins.
Stoudemire: "Water?"
what''s the situation? Obviously Jeff Green received the pass, why did it run into Gat''s hands.
"A very beautiful pass. After Jeff Green received the basketball, he immediately passed the ball to Gat with a no-look pass! From Amare''s expression, it is not difficult to see that he seems to be Didn''t react."
Through the yback on the big screen, it can be clearly seen that when Jeff Green received the basketball, Gat was cutting inside, and the moment Jeff Green turned to face the frame, he handed the ball to the inside cut Gane Special, a very stealthy pass.
As a four yer, it is really surprising that he can make such a delicate pass.
In fact, Jeff Green is abo forward, able to control the ball or y low-post singles, with excellent wing defense; unstable shooting, but capable of mid-range and long-range shooting; excellent outside marking ability, but poor inside defensive ability.
Rivers waved his arm off the court, which was one of the results Rivers wanted.
It is estimated that before this game, no one would have thought that Rivers would use Jeff Green, a yer who does not have a high sense of presence and who has just joined the Celtics, as a breakthrough.
In fact, this is also one of Gat''s thoughts at the yer meeting yesterday, and it is also the suggestion Gat and Rondo made to Rivers. They are looking at Jeff Green''s pass support and outside marking ability.

This ordinary goal did not attract much attention.
But thinking of the Celtics putting Jeff Green in the fourth position and Gat in the fifth position, Lian Dao seems to understand the Celtics'' intentions.
The Knicks attacked, and this time Lian Dao finally caught the basketball.
Lian Dao elerated his breakthrough with the help of Stoudemire''s cover, trying to hit the inside line and score ayup.
However, as soon as Lian Dao got rid of Pierce, Jeff Green directly posted up and stood firm. Although Jeff Greencked interior defense, his outside defense ability was still very good.
Lian Dao hurriedly wanted to turn around to avoid Jeff Green''s defense, but he was caught off guard because he turned too fast and bumped into Jeff Green''s body.
"Beep!"
Offensive foul!
"Jeff Green''s position is very smart. He directly blocked Sickle''s breakthrough route. Such fouls are not often seen on Lian Dao. It seems that this time the Celtics reced Jeff Green. Intentional."
Between offense and defense, Jeff Green, a rookie who has just joined the Celtics, has begun to attract the attention of some people.
After the first quarter of the game, Jeff Green''s performance was very good.
On the offensive end, he has be the pivot of the Celtics. With some passing and receiving, as long as Jeff Green points the ball, the offense will basically be smoother and smoother.
On the defensive end, although he still couldn''t guard Stoudemire inside, he teamed up with Pierce to double-team Lian Dao, constantly dying the Knicks'' outside offense.
The external defense formed by him and Pierce allowed the Knicks to rely on the inside cooperation of Stoudemire and Cousins ??to score for a long time in the first quarter.
It is a risky move for Rivers to take out Jeff Green, but from the current point of view, the effect is still very good.
At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led the Knicks by two points at 29:27.
In the first quarter of the game, Gat made 6 of 8 shots and scored 12 points. He is currently the yer with the highest score on the court.
But at the end of the first quarter, D''Antoni and all the Knicks yers did not focus on Gat, but on Jeff Green.
Jeff Green made 2 of 3 shots in the first quarter and scored 4 points and 4 assists!
It was Jeff Green''s support that was the main reason why Gat scored 12 points inside.
Jeff Green doesn''t have amazing athletic ability, nor does Paul Pierce have extremelyprehensive skills, but Jeff Green''s basketball IQ, back-to-basket and face-to-basket skills, as well as this guy''s passing and perimeter defense, all Let the Knicks suffer in the first quarter.
"Jeff Green has caused us too much trouble. Since the opponent wants to block our outside line, then we will do what we can."
"sickle, you continue to attract double-teams, Amare, the offense in the second quarter, you are the core of the offense, since the opponent has leaked the weakness, we poked twice hard, I am really sorry!"
D''Antoni then adjusted his tactics.
Although the Knicks trailed by two points after the first quarter, it can be said that the Celtics'' offense has been quite sessful.
However, D''Antoni was not in a hurry, because the Knicks this season are not likest season, with only one scoring point.
With Stoudemire this season, he can easily switch the core of the offense. Moreover, with Lian Dao joining the defense, Jeff Green''s shots will definitely not be as easy as in the first quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics took the lead in attacking.
When Gat and Rajon Ron made more baseline shots, Lian Dao came to Pierce''s side.
"Paul, do you think this can defeat us?"
"Oh, at least we''re leading now, aren''t we? Mr. MVP!" Paul Pierce smiled and responded to Lian Dao''s trash talk.
Lian Dao was not angry, but also smiled.
Seeing Rondo hold the ball for halftime again, Lian Dao and Pierce fought together again.
This time, Stoudemire did not allow Jeff Green to catch the ball easily. He stuck to Jeff Green''s side tightly, preventing Jeff Green from having any room to y.
Seeing this situation, Jeff Green pulled to the outside line and brought Stoudemire to the outside line.
In this way, Gat has room for singles with the ball in the paint, and Jeff Green has a long-range shot. He is still a threat.
However, Stoudemire did not hesitate, and immediately gave up defending Jeff Green outside the three-point line, and double-teamed Gat without hesitation.
Gat''s 12-point status in a single quarter is not a joke. No one is sure now. Let this old guy continue to y. He may really dream of returning to the top and hit the next 30 or 40 points.
When Gat saw Stoudemire double-teaming, he gave up the singles and passed the ball to Jeff Green on the outside. Jeff Green has the ability to shoot from a long distance. Although he doesn''t have many shots from the outside, he His three-point shooting percentage is also close to 40%.
Jeff Green is ready to catch the ball and wait for Gat''s pass.
"Be careful!" Pierce''s reminder surprised Jeff Green.
But before he could react, he saw Lian Dao wearing a white No. 1 jersey in front of him.
"Snapped!"
Lian Dao was ahead of Jeff Green, shot the basketball, and immediately controlled the basketball.
"Sickle''s steal, the timing of this steal is very subtle, he has fully judged the Celtics'' passing strategy. It seems that he has long been prepared for Jeff Green!"
"After Sickle''s steal, he pushed forward quickly. Jeff Green''s speed did not catch up with Lian Dao. It was too fast. Once Lian Dao started, the Celtics'' old footsteps would have nothing to do with him!"
Lian Dao got inside the three-point line, and there was no one in front of Lian Dao. He directly joined the ball, took three steps, stepped on the free throw line and took the first step, and jumped angrily.
The body is gliding in the air, the body is like a bow, the arms are raised high, and then the basketball is smashed into the basket!
"Bang!
"
Lian Dao steals and dunks and scores one-stop.
Afternding, the fingers of the left hand point to the audience, and the right hand is ced next to the ear to express listening.
The fans at the scene burst into thunderous cheers instantly.
When returning to defense, Lian Dao looked at Pierce beside him.
"Be careful, it''s already tied!" Lian Dao continued to irritate Pierce with trash talk.
"Lucky little guy just wait, we will definitely blow you up!" Pierce held back his mouth.
Lian Dao didn''t argue with him, but opened his arms again and continued to enter a new round of defense.
Rivers also just felt that the Celtics'' pass was a bit too big just now. He believes that Rondo will make adjustments on the field next, and he still believes that there is nothing wrong with this tactic.
Same situation, only this time Jeff Green gave the ball to Pierce.
In an instant, a duel between Lian Dao and Pierce formed on the field.
Pierce''s offensive skills are very good, but Lian Dao did not lose his position at all, but in the end, Pierce scored a turnaround jumper.
This old guy''s offensive skills are really not bragging. Although his athletic talent is not as good as that of James and Lian Dao, his offensive skills can definitely beat James by eight blocks, at least the current James.
