Li Tuanjie is also extremely excited. This is the first time in his career that he has played in the Eastern Conference finals!

After two seasons of growth, Li Tuan's reputation and status in the league have now reached a peak. If he can lead the team to win the championship this season, Li Tuan's reputation and status will reach a higher level in the league. Location.

The bosses of both sides came on stage to shake hands. The boss of the Bucks was naturally Li Tuanjie, while the boss of the Green Kai team was Paul Pierce.

Whether you admit it or not, Pierce is the leader of this Green Kai team. It is true that in terms of personal honors, Garnett is better than Pierce, but Green Kai is Pierce's team after all, and Garnett can only be regarded as an outsider.

"Paul, do you still remember what I said to you when this season started?" Li Tuanjie looked at Pierce with a smile.

"Remember, of course, you said you would join us in the Eastern Conference finals with Green Kai! To be honest, your Bucks played really well. If it weren't for our Boston Celtics, your Bucks would have won the championship this season! "Pierce also said to Li Tuanjie with a smile on his face.

"But, now your opponents are us Bostonians, so I can only blame you for your bad luck..."

"Oh? Are we unlucky? Paul, I'm afraid it's more appropriate for me to say this to you. You three giants who teamed up to win the championship in the late stage are really unlucky when you meet our Bucks, because there are Bucks existence, you will definitely not be able to win the championship."

The bosses of the two teams are competing against each other. They both regard the other as their biggest opponent on the road to winning the championship!

"Haha, okay! In that case, let us three old guys see what Li Tuanjie is capable of on the field!" After that, Pierce returned to his bench.

Li Tuanjie smiled. If the Bucks encountered Green Kai in the first half of this season, then Li Tuanjie would not be sure of defeating Green Kai. However, Li Tuanjie's current strength is no longer what it used to be and has improved. There are more than one level. Not to mention that the Bucks are now strong. Even if Li Tuanjie leads a group of fringe players, there may not be a possibility of winning against Green Kai!

…

Soon, the game officially started, and people from both sides began to appear!

Bucks starting lineup: center Marc Gasol, power forward Li Tuanjie, small forward Artest, shooting guard Mike Reed, point guard Rondo.

Green Kai starting lineup: center Perkins, power forward Garnett, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Ray Allen, point guard Maurice Williams.

Judging purely from the lineups of both sides, this is definitely an epic duel. The fans watching the game are extremely excited. It is definitely a blessing for basketball fans to witness such a luxurious duel with their own eyes.

Most of the domestic fans have never witnessed these epic duels between the Bulls, the Pistons, and the Utah duo, but now they have the opportunity to witness an epic showdown that is no less luxurious than that era!

Later generations also commented on this Eastern Conference finals. There were ten people in the starting lineup, eight of whom have entered the All-Stars. Such a grand event has never happened in the entire history of the league.

"Dudududu!" the referee blew the whistle, and the ball jumpers from both sides walked to the midfield line. Li Tuanjie and Garnett walked to the midfield line together. The two historical power forwards met again.

Without saying anything, Garnett's face was extremely solemn. He knew the importance of this game to him!

Their Big Three are now in their thirties. If they fail to win the championship this season, then as their ages continue to grow in the next few seasons, they will be even less likely to be opponents of the young and powerful Bucks!

Therefore, if the Big Three of Green Kai want to win the championship, this season is their best chance. The further they go, the smaller the chance of winning, or even none!

The strength of the Bucks will only become stronger as the newcomers grow up, while the Green Kai side will only become weaker and weaker as the Big Three gradually age!

Garnett also knew that his jump ball would never be Li Tuanjie's opponent. He simply didn't take off during the jump ball stage. Why waste that energy? ! If you have this strength, you might as well play one more offensive and defensive round.

Rondo controlled the ball and rushed towards the frontcourt.

In previous games, Li Tuanjie waited for Rondo's pass outside the three-point line. After receiving the pass from Rondo, he immediately jumped up and drove into the basket to score points!

This kind of attack method is unstoppable!

But the problem is not without it, that is, Rondo can't get assists at all!

Since Li Tuanjie's exclusive skills took shape, Rondo's average assists per game have dropped a lot. I'm afraid this is also an important reason for Rondo's disenchantment!

What does assist data mean to a point guard? It goes without saying that it means how big a contract they can get in the future!

Rondo's draft pick is not as good as Li Tuanjie's, and his salary is pitifully low. If he doesn't produce big data during his rookie contract, when the rookie contract ends, which player will be willing to give Rondo a big contract.

Li Tuanjie also understands Rondo very well. If he puts himself in his shoes, if Li Tuanjie were in Rondo's position, he would definitely have the idea of ​​leaving.

In this game, Li Tuanjie did not stand outside the three-point line this time and began to use off-the-ball movement tactics that he had not used for a long time.

Rondo looked at his boss Li Tuanjie strangely. Li Tuanjie suddenly changed his playing style. It was definitely not without reason. Although Green Kai was very strong, in Rondo's eyes, he did not force Li Tuanjie to change his playing style. Qualification, then there is only one explanation. Li Tuanjie's off-ball movement offense is to create more assist data for Rondo!

Thinking of this, Rondo felt grateful, and suddenly felt that he wanted to "defect" the Bucks. Wasn't it a little too unkind!

He will never forget that the reason why he is able to achieve today's achievements is all due to Li Tuanjie's cultivation!

Soon, Li Tuanjie ran into a good position. Rondo threw away the messy thoughts in his heart, and the basketball in his hand passed to Li Tuanjie's hands like lightning!

Li Tuanjie made a direct mid-range shot. Since he was three meters away from the basket, Li Tuanjie could not enjoy the bonus of guaranteed hit rate. However, the ball was very lucky and hit the net!

In the first offensive round, Li Tuanjie scored two points, while Rondo got an assist!

Li Tuanjie's sudden change in playing style left the Celtics stunned!

Green Kai, who has already regarded the Bucks as their biggest opponent on the road to winning the championship, naturally cannot not study the Bucks' fighting style. They have discovered that as long as Li Tuanjie is on the court, most of the Bucks' ball rights will be concentrated. In the hands of Li Tuan Tuan, Li Tuan Tuan then used his speed to start a breakthrough!

In the eyes of Green Kai, Li Tuanjie is a very unique player. It is true that Li Tuanjie's personal strength is extremely strong. The Big Three of Green Kai ask themselves that even when they are at their peak, their overall strength is definitely not as good as Li Tuanjie. But they are not afraid of Li Tuanjie who monopolizes the ball at all!

The boss who plays alone on the court and keeps all the ball in his own hands may have a good record in the regular season, but in the playoffs, opponents can use countless plans to target him.

But now in this game, Li Tuanjie actually moves without the ball? ! This directly makes all Lu Kai's arrangements for Li Tuanjie this season become useless!

Movement without the ball? ! Isn't this Mike Redd's job on the Bucks? !

…

The ball was transferred, the side changed, and Maurice Williams advanced with the ball!

Rondo immediately stepped forward to defend. Maybe in his rookie season, Rondo was no match for the pass, but now after two seasons of training and growth, Rondo is now much stronger, and his defensive awareness has also improved like an evolution. It can be regarded as a poor man's version of death entanglement. Jiang Mobu stumbled through the pass defense and struggled to control the ball to the frontcourt.

Soldiers versus soldiers, generals against generals, the Big Three faced off against each other. The Green Kai Big Three and the Bucks Big Three played exactly the same positions, both forwards and shooting guards.

"I guess Maurice Williams will never pass the ball to you, am I right?" Li Tuanjie and Garnett were entangled, and Li Tuanjie teased Garnett with a smile.

Garnett's face was livid. He is no longer the main offensive point in Green Kai. He is not even the second main offensive point. The team's first main offensive point is definitely Pierce, and the second main offensive point is Ray Allen. The three main points of attack are Garnett!

Garnett's biggest role in Green Kai is definitely not offensive, but defensive.

Li Tuanjie's words were deliberately made to disgust Garnett. If he could make Garnett angry and start fighting for the ball on the court, then Green Kai would be completely doomed...

But Garnett is a veteran after all, how could he be made to lose his sense of proportion by Li Tuan Tuan's words.

"Huh, kid, you've learned so much trash talk in such a short time. Not bad! But don't you think it's a bit like you're trying to do the same thing when you trash talk me?" Garnett said jokingly.

Seeing that his trash talk had no effect, Li Tuanjie simply shut up and stopped talking!

…

Mo Buchuan stood still in the frontcourt. He was a little anxious. Rondo was staring at him eagerly. His physical fitness and wingspan were not as good as Rondo's, and his height was about the same as Rondo's. He felt that it was difficult for him to feel comfortable in front of Rondo. Take action...

If you can't take a shot, you can only pass the ball. Soon, the ball was passed to Ray Allen's hands.

The contest between Ray Allen and Reed is also very interesting. The relationship between these two people is extremely complicated. Once they meet, they will never show mercy!

After receiving the ball, Ray Allen jumped directly outside the three-point line, seemingly preparing to take a three-point shot!

And Reid immediately flew up to interfere with Ray Allen's shooting!

When Ray Allen took off and made a shooting action, everyone's eyes turned to the basket!

Unexpectedly, Ray Allen didn't even take the ball himself. After taking off, he threw the ball directly into Pierce's hands!

Pierce took a step back, took advantage of Artest's distraction, and took the shot easily, and the ball hit the net!

…

After the opening, the two sides fought evenly!

Li Tuanjie is naturally not in a hurry. It doesn't matter if they are evenly matched, let alone evenly matched. Even if Lu Kai is now leading by fifteen points, he will never frown. His four skill rounds with a guaranteed hit rate are enough to deal with it. Any dilemma!

As long as Li Tuanjie is willing, he can rely on his super scoring ability to even out the fifteen-point difference in an instant!

…

In the Bucks' second offensive round, the ball finally ended up in Artest's hands. He missed a mid-range shot, and Gasol didn't protect the offensive rebound well, so Perkins got it!

Green Kai's counterattack was extremely fierce. After the ball reached the frontcourt, Ray Allen and Pierce used a pick-and-roll, allowing Pierce to hit another three-pointer.

…

This game is the home court of the Bucks. More than 90% of the fans at the scene are Bucks home team fans. After seeing Green Kai hit consecutive hits in the opening game, they couldn't help but feel nervous!
