Chapter 818
"Hi, Zhao Ke. I heard that you want to throw [-] points per game?"
Isaiah Thomas hugged Zhao Ke, sat down beside him, and said with a big grin.
Zhao Ke nodded, who on earth leaked the news?
"Then, do you mind if I get fifty or sixty points?"
Isaiah Thomas said a lot about Ai Ai.
Little assassins have big ambitions.
In the opening game of the Boston Celtics, Isaiah Thomas came off the bench, played only 19 minutes, made 7 of 4 shots, scored 9 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds.
It's not that Brad Stevens doesn't want to see him, there would be no little assassin without the young marshal!
Isaiah Thomas has not been back to Boston for [-] months, and the current Celtics are not completely different from two years ago!
In the 2017-2018 season, Isaiah Thomas and Gordon Hayward's Celtics were reimbursed due to injuries. Under the guidance of Brad Stevens, all the people were soldiers. Jaylen Brown, Al Horford, Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart all fulfilled their talents and reached the Eastern Conference Finals again, which was called by the media——
Rise of the Behemoths!
Different from the absolute core of Isaiah Thomas before, this Celtics team is now more team, anyone can be the offensive core, and Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart are playing very well at the point guard position, especially on the defensive end!
Unlike Gordon Hayward, who entered the Celtics training camp early and participated in all the preseason games, Isaiah Thomas, a tough guy, didn't report back to the team until the day before the start of the regular season!
If it weren't for the young marshal Stevens' favoring of him, the little assassin would probably sit on the bench for a while——
Be an example!
This season, the Green Army's lineup is even thicker.
First, Gordon Hayward and Isaiah Thomas all returned from injury.
Then came the fully grown duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
There are Al Horford, Marcus Morris, "Big Pyrenees" Baines on the inside, Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart on the bench...
Of course, this lineup is quite a rookie bonus.
Not all teams can be as generous as the Memphis Grizzlies, paying a huge luxury tax without hesitation, and keeping all players with new ones.
Not all teams are as deadly attractive as the Memphis Grizzlies, allowing superstar embryos to sit on the bench honestly, without any complaints, and willingly...
When the contracts of the rookies expire, it is impossible for the Green Army under Danny Ainge to renew their contracts with them at the same time. By then, the Green Army will become a superstar training camp!
Facing such a group of talented teammates, if it weren’t for Brad Stevens playing egalitarian team basketball, and apart from last year’s rookie Jayson Tatum, who hadn’t seen him before, Gordon Hayward and Marcus Morris are new additions, and the other core players are the younger brothers of Isaiah Thomas when he led the team alone.
Still, it wasn't easy for Isaiah Thomas to fit into the team's new system.
Without him, the Green Army's offense and defense are balanced.
And once the 1-meter assassin comes on the field, the current system of the Green Army will immediately have to be restarted.
In the season when the little Assassin competed for MVP, he was the guard who used the most breakthrough balls in the NBA. He needed to use breakthroughs to drive the team's offense, or score by himself, or divert the ball after attracting the defense!
On the defensive end, teammates need to hide him to prevent the little assassin from being targeted by the opponent.
With this style of play, the Green Army has been useless for eighteen months!
Therefore, Stevens is also very embarrassed.
He now has a blissful trouble—
Why can't there be ten people on the basketball court at a time?
Trouble aside, Stevens still gave Isaiah Thomas a chance. He heard the conversation between Zhao Ke and the little assassin, and he also wanted to see what happened to the King of the Last Section that he had cultivated by himself in the past eighteen months!
The starting lineup for the Boston Celtics is:
Isaiah Thomas, Jayson Tatum, Gordon Hayward, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford
The starting lineup of the Memphis Grizzlies has not changed, and Zhao Ke still plays point guard:
Ke Zhao, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Serge Ibaka, Greg Oden
In the jump ball session, just like in the past 11 years, Oden once again crushed Horford.
Zhao Ke got the basketball that Oden dialed and pushed forward slowly.
Sure enough, Stevens hid the little assassin again, Tatum posted it decisively, and the others waited for an opportunity to double-team.
At this time, Zhao Ke can choose to pass the ball to Jimmy Butler, let him play big and small, and bully Isaiah Thomas who switched defense with Tatum...
But he didn't, this is Zhao Ke's show, he wants to get [-] points!
Tatum's mobility is very good and his feet are solid. Zhao Ke faced him much more easily than he faced Kyrie Irving in the last game.
This is very good, exactly what Zhao Ke wanted.
Without strong defense, how can there be wonderful goals!
The 35-year-old Zhao Ke is not playing basketball, but playing with emotion. Every ball must be played with a clear mind and a good mood!
Facing the young Tatum, Zhao Ke did not hesitate to use the butterfly step, which is always going to be unfavorable, tossing and turning, changing directions drastically, true and false, like a dream...
Tatum kept up with Zhao Ke's rhythm, but he didn't expect that Zhao Ke didn't want to get rid of him at all, he just wanted to simply show off for a while and listen to the screams of the fans!
Taking advantage of Tatum's retreat, Zhao Ke took a step back and shot a three-pointer!
As soon as Zhao Ke made a move, the commentator on the scene couldn't wait to roar like a train:
For threeeeeeeeee!
The fans also screamed, Zhao Ke never let them down!
Sure enough, the basketball went into the basket with a "boo".
Hollow into the bag, net flowers splash!
The first attack was triumphant, and three points were scored.
The Celtics attacked, but Zhao Ke did not go to the frontcourt to press.
Ten months into training camp with Isaiah Thomas, he knew that pressing wasn't going to work on the kid.
He is only 1 meters with shoes on, this kid is really too short!
Meeting Zhao Ke, who is 1 meters barefoot, is simply the cutest height difference. In conversion, it is almost equivalent to asking Serge Ibaka to defend Kyrie Irving in the last game...
Keeping your waist down and tying your shoelaces with this slippery guy is simply asking for fun.
Zhao Ke stayed at the top of the three-point arc, waiting for Isaiah Thomas to come and get beaten.
As a result, just out of the middle circle, at least two meters away from the three-point line.
The little assassin suddenly stopped and raised his hand to score a three-pointer!
Weird, weird, didn't this kid claim not to break through the uncomfortable Sky, and what kind of opening method is this?
The Dynasty Temple Arena was very quiet for a while, and everyone was a little surprised.
I'll go, isn't this Zhao Ke's way of playing?
This guy is no little assassin!
Come on in Wuhan! Go China!
