Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 573 Boston, your father is here!
In the end, the Celtics fans at the scene still called Du Kang "Dad".

"BOS, Who's Your Daddy!"

"Coach————D!!!!"

"BOS, Who's Your Daddy!"

“Michael———— Beasley!!!!”

Beasley was substituted in by Coach D at a critical moment in the fourth quarter, and Celtics fans finally gave up their last bit of persistence.

It’s worth calling Coach D “Dad”.

Hearing the Celtics fans shouting like this, some of the Bobcats fans present were naturally very unhappy.

This isn't calling him daddy; this is mocking Coach D for being an undercover agent for the Celtics tonight.

However, faced with such ironic ridicule from Celtics fans, the Bobcats fans themselves didn't know how to fight back.

Because they were the first to start such cheers and shouts.

In this game, Jordan made the Bobcats' ball-handling players vomit on the defensive end.

The Celtics players were so scared that they didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Jordan, and the Celtics fans at the scene were so scared by Jordan that they didn't dare to shout slogans.

Since you don’t shout, then we will shout, who is Boston’s dad?

Of course it’s Jordan!

Faced with the arrogance of the Bobcats fans, the Celtics fans at the scene were speechless and were almost beaten by the Bobcats fans at the TD Garden.

This is the Celtics' home court, the famous North Shore Garden!
It would be great to play here in front of the Celtics fans.

Until... Beasley, he messed up again!
Beasley's performance this season is naturally beyond reproach. To be able to play such a performance this season has already exceeded the recognition of Bobcats fans and expert media.

Logically speaking, there is no need to ridicule Beasley no matter how poorly he performs in the playoffs, but Beasley is the runner-up in MVP!
The fighting spirit shown on the court in this game is even more hilarious. If you are not good enough, if you really can't beat James, that's fine, as long as you try hard, everyone will accept it. After all, there is no way to differentiate between strong and weak, just try hard.

Most forwards can't stand James's style of play.

The reason why James has such a bad reputation now and is considered to be kicked out of the NBA, and Celtics fans don't want James, is not because James is really bad, but because James has no effect on the Celtics' team goals.

What if James can defeat 99% of his opponents?
If the Celtics can't beat the Lakers and 76ers, then there's no way they'll win the championship.

What's the point of keeping a team that can't win a championship?

Make it to the finals every time, and then get beaten by your opponents?

The Celtics are different from the Cavaliers. The Celtics want to win the championship. The forward-pushing tactics allowed James to surpass 99% of the players in the league, but it also ruined his hopes of winning the championship.

The team that uses the forward-pushing style of play just can’t beat players like Antetokounmpo, Covington, and McGrady.

The forward-pressing tactic is very extreme. If you succeed, your offense will be 5 against 4, which is a huge advantage.

If you fail to attack and are killed by your opponent, then you will be attacking 4 against 5, which is extremely difficult.

If the Celtics don't use the forward-pressing tactics, they may still have a chance to beat the Lakers. But if they use the forward-pressing tactics, the Celtics don't stand a chance at all and are defeated and blown up by the Lakers in every game.

If we don't use the forward-pushing tactics, what's the use of James if he's so bad?
This is the complicated feeling that Celtics fans have towards James.

It's not such a pity to throw away something that has no taste.

However, whether to give up or not is a matter for next season. In this season's playoffs, although the Celtics cannot beat the Lakers to win the championship, James can bully Beasley in the Eastern Conference Finals!
James can slap Coach D in the face in the Eastern Conference Finals!
If we can only accomplish one of the two goals, defeating the hated Coach D or defeating the hated Lakers, it would be a small consolation.

"LeBron, wait a minute, strangle Beasley to death. The worse Beasley is, the greater our chances in this series!"

On the court, Paul George was giving instructions to James.

Paul George is resourceful.

The Celtics' five starters, Davis, George, Leonard, James and Smart, except for Davis who is a fool, the other four are extremely smart and intelligent players, not to mention among black people, but among all human beings.

George said this very subtly, but James understood it immediately.

Coach D’s personality is that he won’t turn back until he hits a wall. Even if he hits a wall, he won’t turn back.

Since Coach D said he wanted to save Jordan and Beasley, he would not give up halfway.

Coach D said that he wanted Jordan and Beasley to be the fathers of the Celtics, and he would do it even if he died.

Only when Beasley is defeated by James every time, Coach D will keep playing Beasley and let him prove himself, so that the Celtics have a chance to reverse the score.

It is now extremely difficult for the Celtics to beat the Bobcats in the Eastern Conference Finals. The only hope is the support of Coach D for Beasley.

Even the Celtics' forward-pressing tactics were broken by Coach D and Jordan. The Celtics really have no advantages now.

The only advantage is Beasley and Coach D’s love for Beasley!

"I know what to do. He won't get a single point from me. No, he won't even get a single shot from me!"

This is the Celtics' home court. As long as Beasley is not killed, based on the current NBA refereeing standards and the Celtics' home court, James feels that he can do whatever he wants to Beasley!

James is very confident, so when he heard the Celtics fans mocking Coach D, he was very happy in his heart.

Coach D is, to some extent, the same character as Coach Amazing Monty.

The whole world knows that Beasley is trash in front of him, but Coach D still insists on believing in Beasley and gives him the most crucial time.

The whole world says that James is trash, but the magical coach Monty still believes in him very much, and even works hard for him and created the forward-pressing tactics to activate him.

Great head coaches may have various different characteristics, but they all have one very surprising thing in common: persistence.

Amazing Monty was determined and no one could stop him.

Coach D is even more persistent than Amazing Monty!

"Cheers to Coach D's persistence. When we make it to the finals, let's invite Coach D to celebrate!"

At this moment, James felt that he had once again become the protagonist on the court.

The game resumed and the Celtics attacked.

At this time, the score on the court was 65 to 55, with the Celtics leading by 10 points. If they played well this time, they could even lead by more points and continue to widen the gap.

So, in the fourth quarter, the Celtics, who had been rotating seven players, now just rotated all five starting players on the court.

This also shows that Magical Monty was well prepared and had room for rotation in this game.

"The reason why Magic Monty's rotation can be so calm is also thanks to Coach D, who insisted on using Jordan and Beasley, allowing the Celtics to get a lot of leads, which gave Magic Monty more possibilities for adjustments. Don't think that every Celtics player now has more than 30 minutes of playing time. In fact, they are not that tired. They are still so young. As long as their spirits are up, they will never feel tired!"

At this time, many commentators on the scene were also secretly criticizing Du Kang for his tricks in this game. Why play Jordan and Beasley? Wouldn't it be better to just let them rest for this series, sweep the Celtics 4-0 to advance to the finals, and then let Jordan and Beasley play?

Although doing so will damage the reputation of Jordan and Beasley, compared with the finals and the championship, this is nothing, right?

But Coach D finally chose to do something stupid.

However, from another perspective, the reason why they like watching Coach D's games so much is because Coach D likes to do something funny and always gives them surprises, right?
If Coach D was not this kind of person, he would not be so popular, and they would not pay so much attention to Coach D.

If every decision made by Coach D is based on their guesses, then this person is probably not Coach D anymore.

Sometimes it's always so interesting.

They want someone to do something like this, but they will pretend to criticize someone for doing it.

Du Kang would naturally not be affected by any expert explanation.

But he also knew that the whole world must be questioning his use of Beasley at such a critical moment.

There was no need to give up the game when they were trailing by ten points. Why didn't they play Rose, Grant Hill, O'Neal or Duncan?

Why didn't any of these players, who had proven they could beat the Celtics, play for even a single minute?
why?
Of course, with Jordan and Beasley leading the team, the Celtics can call them dad.

If Beasley can't handle James in this game, how can he face Antetokounmpo, Ebanks, or McGrady in the finals?

Others may not know the current strength of these three people, but how could he not know? What? If he comes out in the finals, it will be too late.

It's time to take a deep breath, show your momentum, and walk into the finals with your head held high!
Even if he went to the finals with his head held high, Du Kang couldn't guarantee that he could beat the Lakers.

What's more, they entered the finals in a miserable state.

In the Celtics' first attack, Beasley was in the defensive position and James did not force Beasley.

But to force others.

Whoever defends the ball handler will be forced.

In fact, it is unlimited pick-and-roll.

The reason why the forward-pushing tactic is so difficult to implement is that James' pick-and-roll is extremely effective. He has a strong body, strong confrontation, good athletic ability, and his small moves are concealed. It can be said that except for Jordan who can break James' pick-and-roll, no one else can get around James' pick-and-roll.

Therefore, when James spared no effort to set unlimited pick-and-rolls for the Celtics players and there was no Jordan on the Bobcats' court, the opportunity soon came up.

James found an opportunity and blocked Batum and Marion with one hand each. Leonard behind him found a very good opportunity, hid behind James, leaned back and shot the basketball in his hand.

As long as James is willing to do unlimited screens for his teammates, there will always be opportunities. It just depends on whether the teammate with the ball has the shooting ability and whether he can make the shot.

It also depends on how tired James is, making things difficult for his teammates.

James, at this moment, was in high spirits!
A swipe!
Leonard made a fadeaway shot from mid-range.

67 is better than 55!

The Celtics' lead had grown to 12 points.

In Leonard's attack, James had no assists, no rebounds, and no scoring.

But even a blind man can see that Leonard had such a good opportunity thanks to James.

James contributed 90% to this shot, and Leonard contributed the remaining 10%.

If Leonard misses the shot, he won't get any credit and will have to take the blame.

After all, James created such a good opportunity.

If James can also play the forward-pressing tactics against the Lakers, Celtics fans will definitely not dislike James.

Facing the Lakers, James had no chance to use unlimited pick-and-roll. When James used the unlimited pick-and-roll, he was knocked to the ground by Antetokounmpo who had been following him closely.

However, the Bobcats don't have Antetokounmpo, nor do they have Jordan who can lead the defense and break the forward pressure tactics indefinitely.

So, James can do whatever he wants now!

"The Bobcats were already 10 points behind in the fourth quarter. The Bobcats should thank Jordan. Without Jordan's unlimited defense, they would have broken the forward-pressing tactics. Now the score is at least 20 points behind."

The Celtics scored 65 points in the first three quarters, all of which were scored by Jordan who used up all his energy to fight back.

Now without Jordan and players like Antetokounmpo, the Bobcats' defense is vulnerable to James's forward-pressing tactics.

Therefore, the Celtics' offense was quite comfortable, which made the Celtics fans at the scene very happy.

By being able to play the forward-pushing tactics, the Celtics don't have to worry about James not being able to shoot and hindering their positional offense.

As long as he can play the forward-pushing tactics, James has no disadvantages, only advantages.

The forward-pressing tactic on the offensive end is not the strongest. The strongest is the infinite cycle of the forward-pressing tactic!
The Bobcats attacked, Kidd dribbled the ball forward, and James immediately stuck to Beasley.

Beasley is the Bobcats' only strong point in positional warfare.

He left Beasley in the backcourt, and the Celtics had four defending four in the frontcourt, which seemed to be a disadvantage.

In fact, without Beasley in the offensive area, with the defensive abilities of Davis, Smart, Leonard and George, they have no problem defending five with four.

Of course, playing four on four on defense is definitely more difficult than playing five on five.

Fortunately, Kidd is the one who has the ball, so he can relax a little when shooting.

But even so, the Celtics' defensive players were still very focused.

But, obviously, the Celtics crowd was also very focused.

The Celtics players were so focused on defense that they couldn't see anything else.

Celtics fans are focused on James and Beasley.

James was smart. After wasting some time, he put Beasley in the center circle.

This is ready for an infinite loop. When the Celtics attack, Beasley will stay in the frontcourt.

From now on, whether it is offense or defense, Beasley and he will be in the center circle.

This is the endless cycle of the forward tactic.

Beasley didn't have any chance to pull out his palm!

Kidd, who was thinking about how to break the defense, frowned.

He also didn't understand why such a lineup was used at the critical moment.

Thabeet, him, Marion, Batum and Beasley.

Without Beasley, there is absolutely no threat of independent offense.

If the opponent lets him go half a step further, he will have to wait only 24 seconds.

There's no way to fight this.

At this moment, the Celtics fans who had just been mocking Coach D suddenly exclaimed.

Kidd came to his senses, but didn't dare look back, for fear that Smart on the opposite side would steal the ball.

In fact, Smart didn't dare to be distracted, for fear that Kidd would break through.

However, when the Celtics fans exclaimed, Smart could only look at James and Beasley out of the corner of his eye.

Farke! ! !

How did Beasley come here? ! ! !
So fast! ! !

James behind, unexpectedly, failed to catch up! ! ! !
Seeing Smart's stunned look at this time, Kidd immediately turned around. Seeing the scene of Beasley running and James chasing, old Kidd moved.

He dribbled the ball, handed it to Beasley, then completed a pick-and-roll with Beasley, blocking the chasing James in front of him.

Beasley's defender became Smart.

左！
right!
左！
Smart was knocked down by Beasley's high-speed change of direction!
Beasley pulls up from outside the three-point line at the top of the arc!

A swipe!
hit!

67 is better than 58!

There was silence at the North Shore Gardens.

The audience in front of the TV were stunned.

They were just watching Kidd dribbling the ball in place as if time had stopped.

Beasley, why did he suddenly run out?
At this time, Barkley once again demonstrated his physique of "innate flow holy body".

Stand up and shout excitedly!

"Boston, your dad, he's here, brought by Coach D!!!"
