Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

As head coach of Boston Celtics

Stevens and his Celtics have made it this season

There are too many surprises for fans in this city

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

Heyward was compensated for season in first five minutes

Subsequently, Horford, Brown and Smart were injured one after other

Even Irving announced a refund at end of season

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

These are remains of army without major generals

In eyes of others, this is a team that may not even make playoffs

Relying on same hatred of whole team

Strategies and schemes with Marshal Stevens

A 64.6% win rate

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

What makes people admire him even more

It all starts with looks, respect for talent and ends with character

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

Stevens before coaching

He is a professor of economics, a great talent

Let him easily make a lot of money at a pharmaceutical factory

He just didn't put down basketball

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

In 2013, when Rivers left Los Angeles Clippers

The Celtics have officially begun to recover

Team General Manager Angie handed over shortlist to owner

The first three are actually same person --- Stevens

Butler University head coach, highly regarded in NCAA

This young man who, in Angie's eyes, can beat old coach K.

Brought to Boston by Anji Huyan

Stevens' coaching career

Starting with humble Butler University

In 2006, he worked as a teaching assistant at this university.

He was promoted to head coach following year when he was 30

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

When Stevens became a bishop, he began to shine

Led by Butler University, which had little talent

Immediately become a force to be reckoned with in NCAA league

As a dark horse, he reached final two years in a row in the 2009-11 season

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

Coach Stevens replaced Rivers as head coach of Celtics in 2013.

That season, as a rookie coach, he led team to 25 wins and 57 losses

The first reaction of many fans

"Who is this? Is he too young? Where is promised NBA coach?"

But it didn't take long for Coach Stevens to beat them all

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

After a 14-15 season, record improved to 40 wins and 42 losses and advanced to playoffs

Next season 15-16 team is still progressing

48 wins and 34 losses, fifth in Eastern Conference

After a 16-17 season, Celtics beat Cavaliers to top Eastern Conference

Familiar Eastern finale

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

If they say that Cole's victory lies in collecting stars under his arm

Stevens' success lies in magic of his brilliant tactics

When team bosses fell one by one

It seems that soon this iron green army will be forgotten

But they have a genius tactical trainer

Don't be afraid to give these young players a chance to play

The Cavaliers use offense to make up for their defensive shortcomings

But Celtics are using defense to spur attack

It's hard to imagine Tatum on show

Under his leadership, he could become leader in scoring from playoffs onwards

This green army has neither hips nor stars

They defend their dignity again and again with active defense

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

Stevens' success

Pay attention to creating an atmosphere in team and team cohesion

When Hayward was injured, Stevens stayed with him in hospital until early hours of morning

The young player made a blunder on pitch

He dared to admit to media that "I didn't tell him beforehand"

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

He seems to have magical powers

Can train players like jugglers

Let players be full of energy all time on the court

Then erupted with combat power that surpassed your own level

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

There were a lot of great coaches this season

But Stevens is definitely special

Although outside world has already rated it highly

Horford's assessment of his "he's a genius"

The media hailed him as next cardinal

Players always compare him to Popovich

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

But Stevens has always been flippant about various coaching awards

Young Marshal Stevens remains humble

"All a coach can do is focus on what's next"

"The tenacity and perseverance of team is more important than anything I do"

This is such a belief

Let injury-weary Celtics fight league hard

Tell everyone that Green Army, except for major generals, is all right

2018.5.14 Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 kicks off at home in Boston

The Celtics beat Cavaliers 108-83 at home, leading 1-0

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

Stevens led team to win 8 home playoff games in a row

And this game perfectly interprets tactical genius

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

Knight is familiar with rhythm of hanging Raptors

James was first to start scoring goals against his teammates

But Stevens put Morris in starting lineup

There is no doubt that this is to protect James

James won worst playoff battle of campaign

15+7+9, 5 of 16 shots, missed all five 3s and 7 assists

Most of those 7 losses were due to green team's double defense

When Morris defends James

Other teammates should be able to provide additional protection when needed

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

Kill 66ers, Celtics crushed their talent

The perseverance and hard work of players under guidance of coach

Everything grows exponentially

Only four players from entire team played in Eastern Conference Finals

So what

Because each of them is doing their best

Fighting spirit never give up

This will definitely give them more useful stuff

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

Young Celtics Players Undoubtedly Lucky

They have a great coach

I'm looking forward to seeing this iron green army move on

Waiting for young coach Stevens to lead team and achieve another great result

Jagged Green Army and their wise teachers

Brad Stevens

Don't be next cardinal

You are first Stevens
