they informed American news that Jo Jo White, one of the Boston Celtics legends and a player for whom the Boston club reserved number # 10, died.White was 71 years old. Celtics in a special statement expressed their condolences and condolences for the whole White family.
On Thursday evening, January 11, 2018, the match in London at 20:00 was already over
for the eighth time, our city was visited by American basketball NBA.
For a long time, Boston Celtics could not have heard anything and their own rhythm and rhythm played
this match.
From the beginning, the game was not sorted out, until the change of Marcus Morris caused that after the first quarter Celtci had five points of loss to rivals. .
In the second quarter, Boston unfortunately did not have good performance, and the defense again does not know how to stop a few key players from Philadelphia 76 ers jumped on 22 stitches
The offensive actions were more like basketball improvisation than the implementation of training licks. Jayson Tatum and Rozier had even simple lay-ups, and Kyrie Irving had to shake off the strong hat from Joel Embiid for a long while.
Very good defense of Boston when the player Philadepia Dario Sariciu was taken, when the four Celt players, who tossed his application to the team partners, were quickly drawn.
Philadehia 76 ers played well and used the duet of their players J.J. Redick Ben
and Simmons. Serially he got from behind three points. The projections from the corner resembled
flying the style of Lou Williams. In turn, the latter confirmed that in one hand he holds a statuette for Rookie of the Year and every now and again he used his physical conditions in clashes in a painted one. A lot of confusion on the dance floor was brought by TJ McConnell, who too easily passed our first defensive line with a quick goat and entered the hatch.
The limbs dominated the boards, winning the battle for 46:37 and they scored as many as seventeen points. The key to winning was undoubtedly the attack game, which after changing pages looked wonderful at times. In fact, each player brought quality to the dance floor and presented a high level.
Four minutes before the end of the second quarter, Boston quite unexpectedly caught the wind in its sails.
An attack of the darts started functioning, in which they limited simple errors in the game.
Thus, Boston made 15: 3 starts at the end, and before the change of sides, the difference was only nine nets. This is largely due to Jaylen Brown, who finished the first part with 14 points, with good effectiveness.
The finishes in the third quarter played a fantastic basketball game that we got used to this season. Boston definitely more aggressive, more mobile and mobile, and consequently the ball began to go great hands on the perimeter, and above all began to drop
from a distance (6 out of 10 attempts for three points).
Irving, who started from two triples, started to break the gap. Exactly after six minutes after the break Brad Stevens’s players came out for the first match in the match, which they did not return to the final siren.
And in what style – after Irving-Horford-Theis trio action, in which the ball wandered like a string and was finished by a German. Phil desperately tried to look for his chances after the basket, but was unable to stop the raging Tatum who took over the show and in the 3Q impressed with the ease of entering the half-distance and finally stopped his counter in the quarter at 11pts.
The Celts are the leader of the Eastern Conference with a balance of 34 wins and 10 defeats. The victory in London was the seventh in a row for basketballers from Boston.
