The two most competitive teams in the east and west met together, but the game was not broadcast nationwide. TNT's commentary team was only on the second-tier players, and the old partner's Golden Trio did not come.

"Fans still prefer to watch star-level forwards and guards confrontation. James and Kobe collided, which helped us distract a lot of attention. This is a good thing, right, old man?"

Rivers has no objection to such an arrangement. It is not necessarily a good thing to pay less attention to the confrontation between the Celtics and the Spurs. They don't want to be too eye-catching, although the possibility is very low.

Fortunately, the collision between James and Kobe this night will definitely spark everywhere. The newly resurrected Los Angeles Lakers fight to the death with the Cavaliers, and Pan and the Little Emperor are in a match, which will definitely attract people's attention.

Compared to that game, the confrontation between the Spurs and the Celtics seemed a little quiet and without much noise.

Although there were still a large group of reporters on the sidelines, the Spurs were so tepid at home, with an attendance rate of about 80%. Even if the Celtics came, the situation did not change much.

At most, there are some star-chasers who are happy to watch the Big Three of the Celtics, but the capacity of the 19,000 people in the At&T Center Arena is still not full, and the atmosphere is not so crazy, just like usual.

"This is the foundation of the champion team? I can only say that the Spurs' home court is like their fans, and they all seem very low-key, unlike Cleveland, but their attendance rate is stable, which makes many teams envious."

Anji, who travels with the team, said that if it is a season ago, Anji will also envy the Spurs' home attendance rate. There are not many dazzling big-name stars here, but they can have a group of loyal fans.

It's not like New York or Los Angeles. When you play well, countless celebrities will be on the sidelines to act as your supporters, and crazy fans will be there to stomp your feet and shout at you.

But when you play badly, those big stars who tear up tickets or buy first-row seats but don't come will always make the New York Knicks look very embarrassed. This is the treatment of the Metropolitan Club.

Sometimes, loyal fans are also the basis for a team to survive, and San Antonio fans do it perfectly, and their firm support for the Spurs is unchanged.

Compared to these, Angie also feels that the Celtics are very lucky to have taken root in Boston. The decline of the past twenty years has not allowed Boston fans to leave the team, and it has been like this in the past few decades.

Of course, Boston's attendance rate is basically hard to get a ticket. In fact, this trend has been going on since last season. The arrival of Chen Feng and Rondo has completely activated the market.

Boston's attendance rate has been maintained at 70% in the past twenty years, which is due to this group of loyal fans who have never left each other. But now, if you can buy a package, you have to thank God for your favor.

The joining of the Big Three this season, coupled with the team's crazy winning streak, has long turned Boston's home court into a popular place. Even if you are following the trend, you should go to North Shore Garden to watch a game.

The atmosphere in the at&t Center is not as hot as New York or Los Angeles, but the neat shouting can still create an invisible sense of oppression for the visiting team, which is far more shocking than Cleveland.

Although those crazy shouts can bring pressure to the little emperor's territory, there is an indescribable impetuousness here, unlike San Antonio, where the low-key here contains a kind of power.

"It seems that these hosts don't welcome us." Faced with such an away atmosphere, the Celtics have become a little used to it, and Chen Feng is so indifferent to jokes.

If you like to watch Kobe and the Little Emperor Biao split, you will naturally not pay attention to the hand-to-hand battle between the Spurs and the Celtics. These are two kinds of confrontation. One is to attract your attention, while the other is to shock you.

The battle between Rivers and Popovich seems very simple and direct. Spurs fans are not as crazy as New York or Los Angeles, but with the old bones supporting them, they will still be very tough.

Before the warm-up started, in the locker room, the head coaches of both sides had already arranged the arrangements, and they didn't even have to consider what lineups the other party used, they arranged them entirely based on themselves.

A mature team doesn’t have to think about what your opponent is doing, but rather knows what you want to do.

Rivers is thinking about this truth, and Popovich has long understood what his team should do, so they will not care about their opponents' arrangements, but mainly implement their own arrangements.

Maybe Mike Brown hasn't seen through the tricks here, at least he hasn't done this yet. With the little emperor in hand, he may never feel like he is in control.

"Inside! Cruel the basket! Control the mistakes, ensure your offensive efficiency, and try to kill the opponent."

"Don't let your opponent approach the basket easily, hold the three-second zone, and kill it in this zone to the fullest."

Whether it is said that they are together or that they have a deep understanding, Rivers and Popovich's choices are the safest. The collision between the two sides will be more concentrated near the three-second zone.

The closer you are to the basket, the greater the threat. Both Popovich and Rivers are very clear about this simple truth.

The combination of Oberto and Duncan really ran into Chen Feng and Garnett head-on without any evasion!

What Rivers cares most is definitely not the battle between Parker and Rondo, but the battle between Duncan and Chen Feng. Popovich did not choose to avoid this time, but made a very direct choice to let Duncan go to the main defense.

But Duncan did not choose to continue to tangle with Garnett, his old opponent. He came up and ran to Chen Feng to kill him.

The Celtics won the ball jumping stage without any suspense, but after Ray Allen grabbed the ball, he was entangled. Finley, who is also an old bone, posted it very strongly.

The two scoring players collided face to face, fighting for nothing, which directly set the tone of confrontation between the two sides. This close-fitting hand-to-hand combat seems to be running throughout the entire game.

Ray Allen has to deal with Finley's entanglement. Rondo has the ball in his hand and must face Parker's harassment. These two little men are completely fighting for speed, and who can control the ball better.

Pierce was also targeted by "Uncle Bao San". It was really difficult to get out and support.

The match between the inside line and the top of the team against Mai Mang was a desperate battle that no one wanted to avoid. The whole first quarter game was almost spent in the mutual offense and defense between Duncan and Chen Feng.

An old bone holding four championship rings can never be defeated by you casually. Even though Chen Feng is crazy enough, he will play very cautiously when he meets Duncan.

8:7 This is the scoring data that Chen Feng and Duncan handed over in the first quarter. Both of them also scored five rebounds, but Duncan contributed three assists, while Chen Feng sent two blocks.

Garnett was not as flexible as before when facing Oberto's close-up defense, but the Celtics were able to score a 32:28 in the first quarter thanks to the Wolf King's performance.

However, most people's eyes were still attracted by Duncan and Chen Feng. These two guys were unconcealed and had full firepower, especially Duncan, who had not scored a lot recently, became angry.

He held the ball from the front and was strong, and the mid-range distance after the wings were covered. Moreover, his signature hitting into the basket made two consecutive shots. In the first quarter, he scored 8 points on Chen Feng's head!

However, Chen Feng, who was defending against the side, was not polite. While Duncan launched an attack on him, he also fought back fiercely. He attacked the four strong attacks at the basket, all of which were activated by the "Stone Buddha" without any evasion.

Three of four shots, and one of them was 2+1. Such a tip-to-head matched the wheat-mang throughout the first quarter.

The confrontation between Chen Feng and Duncan is actually a state of offsetting each other. Although Chen Feng can run or jump, his firepower will always be reduced when exerting these advantages in front of "Stone Buddha".

"That old guy is too slippery, it's always hard for me to catch his weakness." At the end of the first quarter, Chen Feng had to admit Duncan's experience, making that old bone very difficult.

This is different from previous confrontations. Almost every attack is awkward. Duncan will not play at your pace. Chen Feng's strong attack also lacks a little sharp feeling in front of "Stone Buddha".

There is no need to say much about Chen Feng's impact, but the expressionless "Stone Buddha" is never stupid enough to compete with you. When he is defending himself behind him, he often uses cleverness and experience to take advantage of it.

Although Duncan didn't have a block, his positioning skills really made Chen Feng very uncomfortable. The old guy could always withstand Chen Feng's way in the basket just right, making him unable to take action calmly.

Duncan recorded the statistics of the data without blocking, but he really blocked Chen Feng's attack route twice. As long as Chen Feng dared to throw the ball out, it would definitely be a result of being blocked.

A confrontation between top power forwards appeared in front of everyone so violently. I really don’t know if those fans who watched Kobe and James’ air battle would be a little regretful.

The confrontation between flying people in the air can always be seen, but this kind of pure insider fighting is rare.

However, the most terrifying thing about the Spurs is their overall offense. Although there is a GDP combination fighting with you on the court, there are too many people who can take action.

Popovich did not intend to rely on his core to fight the Celtics. If that was done, he would definitely not be a wise person, but the Spurs' overall strength is indeed strong.

Their counterattack in the second quarter was initiated by Ginobili, Yuduka, Hori and others.

The Celtics were just starting to rotate, and Popovich caught this gap. Before the Celtics' bench players could start, the Spurs' offense had already started.

Ginobili's three ghost breakthroughs, Yuduka's two three-pointers, and Hori's two mid-range jumpers.

Suddenly, from Duncan and Parker, they broke out and turned into several people firing at the same time. Even Cassel and Spreeville were experienced enough, but they were stunned by the Spurs' wave.

If Rivers hadn't called for a timeout, I really don't know how many points the Spurs would have scored in this little climax.

However, a 16:3 offensive wave really gave the Celtics a blow, and the four-point advantage they accumulated in the first quarter was defeated.

And at the end of the first two quarters, the Spurs came from behind and won seven points. It is not difficult for you to understand why Rivers tightened his brows when he returned to the locker room.

But the showdown between the Celtics and the Spurs is like two soldiers holding heavy swords. No one will take a step back and rarely use any strange moves, just one with a knife to slash at the opponent.

There is nothing fancy, it is just a team that is fighting for the overall team. If you collapse at one point, you will lose.

When the Spurs' firepower network began to spread, the Celtics fought back in the third quarter were also very straightforward.

Ray Allen, Novak, under the cover of Chen Feng and Garnett, including Pierce, also broke out at the same time.

The opponent used a shot to open the way. Similarly, the Celtics' counterattack was very direct. Pierce's two cuts, and after Chen Feng stuck Duncan at the top of the arc, Novak made a three-pointer.

Garnett played pick-and-rolls for Ray Allen. The guy slipped the bottom line twice, one mid-range and one three-pointer, all caught the Spurs' perimeter defense off guard.

When Popovich called for a timeout, the Celtics' stormy attack had already smoothed the score gap. When the fourth quarter began, the score of 80:80 once again became the starting line.

However, Rivers and Popovich seemed to have expected this result before the game started. When the two sides fought desperately in the fourth quarter, the two guys stood on the sidelines and kept roaring!

"Defense! Keep an eye on him! Don't let him break through! Stop him!"

"Stand your position! Don't let those guys cut to the inside! Damn it! Position! Keep your position! Shrink! Hold the basket!"

Such anger was almost the only melody on the sidelines in the twelve-minute confrontation in the fourth quarter. Even when it was suspended, their loud voices reminded the players to fight!

This is not a playoffs, but no one would suspect that the intensity of this game will be weaker than the playoffs.

When Chen Feng suddenly threw away Duncan and rushed to the top of the arc in the last few seconds of the game, he received a Rondo's serve on the sideline, and suddenly jumped on the spot and made a mid-range shot, the air seemed to have already frozen.

Hit! The crazy cheers suddenly burst out from the visiting team's rest area, as if they were drawing a rest sign for the game.

But more people are still savoring what happened just now.

What, this is the real competition. There is no performance show, no gorgeous movements, just a straight hand-to-hand fight, but it can make everyone feel blood boiling!

The moment when the Celtics defeated the Spurs, the two-point advantage drove everyone on the visiting team crazy.

It's not a playoffs, but no one will deny that everything you feel here.

Perhaps, for the Cavaliers and the Suns, they want to defeat their opponents and please the fans with their gorgeous attacks.

But for some teams, victory is the most important thing. This is not a show. They don’t need to perform. Winning is the ultimate goal they pursue.

Going around the West, starting from defeating the Spurs...

(Kobe was injured, I suddenly realized that we were all old, like Peter Pan, getting older, the only passion left was gradually cooling down, and suddenly it was a little hot and sad...)
