Why do we like so much to carry on whole nights of Summer League during the only time of the year when the temptation to sleep at night – what a idea – comes to the fore? Probably for the kind of match that we experienced last night between the Celtics D and the Bucks H. A match finished at the buzzer on one ankle, a match marked by two huge posters, a match with the intensity worthy of a NBA Finals Game 7. Incredible but true.
Pinch yourself to believe it, but this Bucks – Celtics has nothing to envy to a few Playoff games that we will have had to taste in the spring, even if this sentence is clearly written under the influence of emotion and consecutive to a big heat stroke yesterday followingnoon around 4:30 p.m. More seriously ? Unlike the majority of Summer League matches, which are mainly made to show off and very often free of any intensity, the meeting between Boston and Milwaukee this night offered us a confrontation that was both muscular, spectacular and full of suspense. We warned you, all you had to do was pinch yourself.
A match in which we once once more appreciated the skills of former Ignite Team prospect Marjon Beauchamp, Lindell Wigginton’s offensive bulimia (24/5/5 to 8/13 in shooting) and the very Argentinian flow of Lucas Vildoza for the Bucks, while Sandro Mamukelashvili has once more proven that he is above the rest in this kind of competition (28/9/2/3/2), we will come back to this. For the Celtics? The solidity of Mfiondu Kabengele at position 5 (15 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks), Brodric Thomas and Sam Hauser who confirm that they have their place in an NBA garbage time, and the sniper Matt Ryan who pounded out of the bench ( 6/11 from the car park), we will also come back to it. A balanced and virile match, logical when Marcus Smart and Bobby Portis squat the courtside to encourage the kids, then this last quarter during which the Frenchman Juhann Begarin will come out of his box, in particular to release us THIS action:

Sandro Mamukelashvili on the poster, Bega who flexes and takes his technique because we mightn’t say anything my good ladyet an action that sums up quite well the superb last quarter of the player drafted in 45 last summer by Boston. Defense, aggressiveness towards the circle in attack and a complicated first 30 minutes of summer… forgotten thanks to this sunburn taken last night by Juhann, who will have launched hostilities in a last quarter as long as dispute, as Richard Jefferson warmed up on the sidelines before officiating as a referee on the following game, another sentence good July good Las Vegas. But let’s come back to the match, and to the question “what does a posterized Mamu do?” the answer is therefore “he posterizes in turn”, because old Mamu are not taught to make a face.

Each contact is likely to blow the cork, we feel each actor invaded by a very present desire to win this match, and in the end it is therefore this good Matt Ryan who will sign at the bottom of the sheet with an incredible shot almost at the buzzer , celebrated the four irons in the air because badly fell on his shoot.

A final victory for the Celtics thanks to an astonishing slaughter in July, but on our side more sweating for a competition which now offers us sacred emotions given the little stake in these matches. And then a kid from Abymes farted a huge poster, as the people asked.
