In this four-game winning streak, the entire team had found the feeling. They contributed the league's number one defense and the league's most rebounding during this period!
They were able to win more than 10 rebounding points per game. Their strong rebounding ability also boosted the team's counterattack and the confidence of the outside shooters. Under the virtuous cycle, everyone played more and more happily. Auerbach's grand words about the championship gradually seemed not so far away.
Lin Long was the number one contributor to the team's four consecutive wins. He was able to contribute 28.5 points, 10.5 rebound, 6.5 assists per game. At the same time, he also had two blocked shots and two steals. He became the most important point on both sides of the team's offense and defense.
The new Barkley seemed to have regained his youth, scoring an average of 21 points, 10 rebounded, and 4 assists per game. His field goal percentage was as high as 55%.
Willis, another new aid, became the guardian of rebounding, with 11 points and 13 rebounded per game.
Old Curry was a versatile shooter that could be plugged in and played.
He formed a salute combination with the Celtics 'original top scorer, Barros. Both of them could use more than 40% of their shots to contribute more than two three-pointers to the team.
As for Big Ben and Bowen, their hard work had paid off. They could slowly get some playing time and become characters on the edge of the rotation.
With this excellent state, the Celtics set sail and flew to Orlando to prepare for their last game before Christmas!
In the late 1990s, with the departure and retirement of a group of star players such as Larry Nance, Mark Price, and Brad Doherty, the Clippers bid farewell to their glory in the early 1990s and returned to being a small team in a small city. They were no longer as brave as they were in the past.
Right now, they could only barely make it to the edge of the playoffs.
However, their lineup was still good. They could find good players in every position to help the team.
For example, the famous violent striker Shawn Kemp.
The second-year center forward, Ilgauskas, the big Z from Lithuania.
And the top shooter in the league, Wesley Posen.
Brevin Knight, the small-sized guard selected this year, was also in the team's starting lineup, contributing nine points and eight assists per game.
In addition, the Cavaliers had acquired a strong forward in the second round, Cedric Anderson.
The strength of this team of knights could not be easily humiliated.
In terms of television broadcasts, with the strong recommendation of commentators such as Will Marcus and Smith, the number of live broadcast games of the Celtics in the United States gradually increased.
This game was a direct confrontation between the starting strikers of the Eastern Conference's potential All-Stars. It was a good gimmick. Coupled with the addition of Barkley and the others, the Celtics became one of the most discussed teams in the league. Therefore, the higher-ups of the NBA changed the file at the last minute to replace another game, making this game the focus of today's live broadcast in the United States!
The commentators were still the veteran duo of Will Marcus and Smith.
Wilmarcus said,"
" After the big trade, Boston had a lot of pain and breaking-in problems. They had a bad record for a while, but they have won four difficult games in a row recently. They may have found the key to victory and completed their breaking-in.”
"Not bad, especially since Lin Long, who has been performing well, has changed to play as a small forward," said Smith. Or rather, the Celtics had a three-point lineup. This was very rare in the current Alliance! Marcus, what kind of results do you think this three-point lineup can achieve?”
"The core problem of this lineup is still Linlong! Lin Long's agility, agility, and sense of defense allowed him to switch and assist in various defense to make up for the lack of flexibility in the lineup.
However, relying on a rookie was not a good choice. What if Linlong was injured? What if Lin Long's performance fell because of the rookie wall?
In short, I think the Cavaliers have more hope in today's game!”
Sean Kemp saw Linlong during the pre-match warm-up. He swaggered over and deliberately glanced at Linlong from the corner of his eyes."I heard that you want to squeeze me out and become the All-Star starter?”
"I just want to be the All-Star starter. As for whether you're the one who's squeezing out, to be honest, I don't care at all.”
Linlong didn't back down, his eyes also locked onto Kemp.
"Brat! I'll let you know the difference between an All-Star starter and a rookie in the game.”
Camp replied fiercely.
"All-Star starter and rookie? Are you talking about the difference between the two of us, kid? When I was an All Star, you hadn't even entered the Alliance! Why are you pretending to be an old man in front of me?"
