Forward to the basket

The Spurs' defense is not as strong as the Pistons'. It doesn't force you to lose possession of the ball, but as long as you hold the ball close to their three-point line, the airtight defensive formation will make you feel helpless.

Even a stable point guard like Rondo will feel tricky when faced with this situation.

The main problem is not that the Spurs' defensive system is flawless, but that not only is someone blocking in front, but there is also a small French sports car next to him interfering. Parker's interception is quite sharp.

Especially when his beautiful fiancée who starred in "Desperate Housewives" was sitting on the sidelines, this small sports car made in France, just like adding aviation fuel, galloped all over the field like a hot wheel. stop.

Rondo can't keep up with Parker in terms of height and weight, and he has to guard against this guy's steals at any time. The same is true on the defensive end. Parker rushed up, and the wind-like speed made Rondo feel uncomfortable.

The defensive strength of the Spurs is self-evident. The average conceded points per game is 90.1. The league's first defensive efficiency is not casual. If the Rockets are enough to cause headaches for the Celtics, then The ferocity shown by the Spurs is far more oppressive than his fellow Texas.

And Vitch's team, not only can cause trouble for all opponents on the defensive end, but their offensive performance can also make Rivers feel the maturity and efficiency of a championship team.

Once Tony Parker's speed soars, it can drive the rapid advancement of the entire team. If this guy is placed on the Suns, then at least the opponent can be promoted to another gear, and the bombardment tactics can be pushed to the extreme.

Even when Nash met Parker in the Western Division, he once said, "Tony's speed is as fast as lightning. If we run back and forth, only Barbosa on our team may be able to catch up with him."

Parker's breakthrough may not be the fastest in the league, but his agility of dribbling and cutting is different from the average American player. The tempering from the European continent makes him more lethal in running.

Before the game, Thibodeau explained to Rondo, don't let Parker's speed rush, otherwise, you will face a lot of pressure. The speed of the small sports car is not free.

Fortunately, the tonnage of this small French sports car is lightweight, and Rondo can still rely on his two long arms to cause him some trouble. If Parker can have Billups' physique, Rondo will probably be miserable. up.

But even with such a propeller that can play a quick counterattack, Vivić did not let Parker control the team. Parker is only one of the links in the transition from dynamic to static in the Spurs' offense.

But Parker has never had any objection to such an arrangement. It can be said that the Spurs are the nba team with the fewest internal disputes and conflicts. This is not only because the relationship between the players is not bad, but also because of the support of ** Rule the army with an iron fist. In front of this old guy, no one will have a chance to make trouble.

And with a boss like Duncan, maybe everyone's temperament can calm down, and they won't be so evil.

Facing such a strong opponent, Rondo must also concentrate and concentrate on every movement of the opponent. The confrontation between the two small men can tell the winner in a blink of an eye.

But Parker is only a starting point for offense, even if he is sure to cut in at a high speed, but Vicky's tactical thinking is to be implemented on everyone, so, after a feint, Parker followed the three-point line Sliding to the bottom line, the moment Rondo posted it, the Frenchman dribbled the ball with his left and right hands, and then turned in the direction of return, but this time, Rondo's footsteps were blocked by someone.

Brent Barry, an old guy who is not very strong, but it is such a simple pick-and-roll cooperation that even elementary school students can play, directly stuck Rondo near the baseline, and followed the old Barry to defend Pierce never dreamed that Parker went inside along his side.

Originally, Pierce already knew what this guy was going to do when he was running in the old Barry, but he didn't expect that when the two of them crossed paths, Parker chose a very weird and very risky entry route!

If the French sports car took one more step, Pierce would have been able to get stuck in the position, but that guy took a dangerous path. He twisted his whole body and passed between Old Barry and Pierce.

With a sharp and high-speed cut, as soon as a crack appeared in the Celtics' defense, Parker's ghostly footsteps pierced it fiercely, like a boning knife, finding the gap is a fierce knife.

"Do it!" Chen Feng could only curse in a low voice when he saw such a situation. He didn't expect that he would have to push out to prevent Parker from easily cutting in to score, and the speed was astonishingly fast. !

However, Chen Feng's defense speed also surprised Parker a bit. After all, he chose a very cunning cut-in route, almost sticking to Pierce's body, using his own speed advantage to suddenly accelerate the breakthrough.

But even such a high-speed cut did not escape Chen Feng's defensive footsteps. Almost at the same time that Parker finished the cut and was able to face the basket with the ball, he had already seen that bald man rushing towards him!

If Parker still wants to play a jump shot or the small throw that he is best at at this time, there is probably only one ending, and that is to be slapped hard by Chen Feng's raised hands and the thrown basketball.

Parker is no longer the brat who just joined the NBA in 2001. In the past two seasons, his mindless rushing style has become less and less. Although his speed is still fast, more often he already knows what to do. How to choose the timing of the attack, coupled with the supervision of a very strict old guy like Vicki, as the main point guard of the Spurs, Parker's offensive choices have become more mature and sophisticated.

Therefore, when Parker saw Chen Feng rushing towards him with his fangs and claws, he was not stupid enough to think that his small throw could pass the bald animal in front of him. The French sports car wisely chose to pass the ball.

"Fuck!", just about to slap Parker to teach him a harsh lesson, but Chen Feng saw the small French sports car flashing in his eyes, and instead of throwing the basketball in his hand, he slapped it along the ground with his feet.

Chen Feng could only watch the ball pass by his feet. This is a pass that even God can't help. He is not a ninja and has never practiced shadow clones. His raised hands are too late to destroy this weird passing route. Lose.

Elson may not be a good offensive option, but when no one is marking him, he is still a guy who can play in the NBA. There is absolutely no reason to let go of such a free opportunity.

Catching the ball, grabbing the basket with both hands, without any hesitation, a tall man of more than [-] meters ruthlessly ravaged a Celtic basket. This simple attack made Chen Feng, who retreated to defend Also very helpless.

In fact, after being swayed by Parker, Chen Feng turned around immediately, relying on that powerful bullet speed, he insisted on flying up close to Elson, but, after all, he was still a little slower.

"Damn it!", Chen Feng watched Elson stepping back, he could only grab the basketball depressedly, and slapped it very hard. Parker's passing route really made Chen Feng helpless, and he could only endure it. up.

The Spurs' offense is so simple and efficient. If it were the Suns, it is estimated that Nash gave Stoudemire a chance to perform an alley-oop after holding the ball just now, instead of such a safe ground pass. Everything, but this kind of offensive style that pursues stability is the characteristic of the Spurs.

The opponent equalized the score and retreated very fast, so the Celtics couldn't play a fast break at all. They could only be advanced steadily by Rondo holding the ball. The rhythm of the whole game was not what they were most used to, but With the sophistication of the Spurs, Vivić will never let anyone lead him by the nose to play the game.

However, the Celtics' offensive firepower can gnaw a piece of meat on the Rockets. Even if they encounter an opponent with the league's top defensive efficiency like the Spurs, they can still find a way to tear down the opponent's hard defensive barriers.

Rondo's ball control has been disturbed all the time, but this guy has also learned his skills this time. Instead of giving the ball to Chen Feng rashly like before, he summoned Chen Feng with his small eyes and pulled him out to do a pick-and-roll .

The relationship between Chen Feng and Rondo has always been like this. From the day they entered the Celtics, the two guys have always been considered a tacit partner, so as soon as Rondo made a wink, Chen Feng knew what to do. Why, as soon as Rondo took control of the ball and walked near the three-point line at the top of the arc, Chen Feng threw away Elson immediately.

Just now Parker used the cooperation with old Barry to get rid of Rondo's entanglement. As a result, this time Chen Feng's large body made Parker very straightforward. Even with Elson behind him defending hard, Chen Feng The pick-and-roll cover for Rondo was also tough and domineering, and the big physique just stuck there fiercely.

Parker was at most a small-displacement French sports car, but what he crashed into was a standard heavy-duty truck. The result was predictable. Even with Elson's help, these two guys couldn't carry it. Live in Chen Feng.

Especially Elson, his movement speed was a bit of a disadvantage, but when he met such an arrogant and unreasonable guy like Chen Feng, don't expect him to stop anything. In the confrontation between the two, Elson can't take advantage of it. When it came to any advantage, Chen Feng blocked Parker, but also blocked Elson.

Chen Feng stood up to the two of them at once, but when Rondo found an opportunity, he cut in directly from the top of the arc, and everything happened in a flash, leaving no chance for the opponent to stop him.

Old Barry's reaction was quick, and he was the closest to Rondo's position, so the old guy reached out to block it, but Rondo threw the basketball to Pierce exactly at the same time that Old Barry posted it.

The pick-and-roll, cut-in, and distribution of the ball, from Chen Feng blocking Parker and Elson to Rondo passing the ball, the whole process was very smooth, and when Pierce received the ball, it was too late for Barry to retreat to block his shot.

As the team captain and team leader, although Pierce's mid-range shots are not perfect, he will not miss this kind of opportunity easily. With the ball in his hand, he pushes the basketball steadily with his fingertips. The whole movement is standard, And gently, the basketball obediently went into the basket, leaving behind only old Barry's waving hands.

"Beautiful pass!" Pierce didn't forget to give Rondo a high-five to celebrate when he retreated, and Pierce didn't forget to give a thumbs up to Chen Feng, a big guy who blocked two pursuers by himself.

"The boys played very patiently when they were attacking." Thibodeau whispered to Rivers while watching his players retreat from the sidelines. It was obvious that he hoped to see such a process .

"It is an indisputable fact that there is a gap between us and our opponents in terms of the meticulousness of tactical execution. Therefore, we can only pray that these boys can play more patiently. The more anxious they are, the more opportunities they will be seized by the opponent."

Rivers did not applaud the offense just now, he just gestured to Rondo on the sidelines to continue to maintain this way of passing and cutting the ball. Only in this way can the Spurs' defense be disrupted, instead of being obsessed with doing it alone.

Nowitzki's singles ability is strong enough, but when facing the Spurs, he only scored [-] points against this strength of defense, so Rivers didn't expect anyone to single-handedly break through and stage The story of a lone hero. Before the game, he emphasized that try not to force a shot when the opponent is sticking to the defense. Once the opponent seizes the opportunity, the Spurs’ quick counterattack is not vegetarian. Their defense is waiting for the opponent to make a mistake. If you don't want to be opened up a little bit, you have to cherish every attack and try not to be reckless.

Rivers didn't want to fall behind in the score because of being hit by opponents' quick counterattacks in a row, so he would rather hit this success rate after being forced to slow down, and he didn't want anyone to stand up and play solo. That approach is very risky.

And the team that likes to take risks can't take advantage of the Spurs. Rivers added 1 cautions when facing Vivić. Although he is a bit conservative, he thinks that playing like this is enough safe.

The Celtics did indeed do what Rivers explained. Not only was Rondo's pass after the cut was very patient, but in the next 6 minutes, they moved the ball very quickly, and each other The combination of screens and passing and running put the Spurs' defense under a lot of pressure. The Celtics' offensive efficiency is also higher than that of the previous two games. This kind of offense may not be what they are used to before. Yes, but it did have a good effect. The Celtics drew with the Spurs at 15:15 in these few minutes.

Seven of ten shots and seven of nine shots have the same effect, but the Celtics wasted an opportunity to overtake the score, but now just looking at the score, the contest between the two teams is still in a stalemate.

The scene wasn't that hot, but there were more body collisions. The two sides were more like two gladiators. They were still in the stage of testing each other, but each round of testing required a lot of physical effort from each other.

Just after the halfway point of the first quarter, Vitch had already called a timeout. Although he didn't know what the old guy was going to do, Rivers still wished that the opponent would make a change. If he was asked to change his tactics first, he wouldn't It takes talent to know what to do, and it takes talent, and Rivers is still a bit immature.

In the first few minutes of the contest, Rivers has been able to feel the pressure from the Spurs. **Vichitch's tactics have not changed much, but this kind of steady offense will definitely give you a headache.

Parker's advancement is the same as Rondo's, seeking changes in a steady manner, but absolutely not frizzy. No matter what, he tries to minimize his own mistakes, and when passing the ball, he also tries to find the most stable way as possible.

You come and go, this is how the confrontation between the Celtics and the Spurs passed the opening stage. Although it was a bit calm, the more than 8000 fans sitting in the AT&T Center Arena did not feel it How boring, you really have to admire these diehard Spurs supporters, they have never booed their team because the scene is not hot, even if the game is played slowly, these fans have no objection.

Murphy said to Xie Miaomiao in a joking tone from the sidelines, "Spurs supporters may be the most calm in the league. They are used to this kind of game. If this game is played in Los Angeles, I can guarantee that it will Big-name stars will really start to stand on the sidelines and swear, just like ordinary fans."

"However, the fans of the Spurs will definitely not be like this. Even when they competed for the championship with the Pistons, the game was fragmented, and they would support their team with shouts and cheers as always. This kind of Jing God is not something that ordinary people can have, and I can't understand it when they are so loyal."

Speaking of this, Murphy can even think of some scenes when he watched the Pistons and Spurs play the finals here. It was a very painful finals. In seven games, except for fouls, it was free throws.

It can be defined as the most boring nba finals by nba officials and the media collectively. This is not something that ordinary people can do, but if you think about **Vichitch and Old Brown, you can feel relieved about all of this.

"The league's first defensive efficiency, it seems that they are worthy of the name, but the Celtics played very well. Compared with the last game in Houston, they played more efficiently and paid more attention to details today."

Xie Miaomiao has never personally experienced the seven games between the Pistons and the Spurs, but looking at the current defensive strength of the Spurs, she can imagine what the situation was like, but that is not her concern.

She is now more concerned about Chen Feng's performance and the record of the Celtics. Just like what Rivers said, the team should take advantage of this rising momentum this season to advance in the playoffs. farther away.

If it is really as expected by Rivers, then Chen Feng and the Celtics should not only be satisfied with entering the playoffs, they are playing so hard now, isn't it just to have home court advantage in the playoffs.

Naturally, winning the home court advantage is to control the situation. Fortunately, they can go further in the playoffs. The first round is definitely not the end that these wild guys can be satisfied with.

Yao Ming has been in the first round of the playoffs for several years, and the Rockets also want to make a breakthrough this season, but if Chen Feng can make it to the second round of the playoffs in the first year, Xie Miaomiao can imagine that With the influence brought by such achievements, perhaps that kid's popularity in the country will soar to a level that no one can predict.

Xie Miaomiao was the No. [-] pusher behind Chen Feng. She didn't mind two Chinese players achieving good results in the NBA at the same time, but if she had to pick one to support, Chen Feng was obviously the first choice.

Although Chen Feng performed very well in the Chinese derby, the team still lost in the end, and he was sent off for a foul at the last moment. Yao Ming got a free throw that decided the final outcome.

Many domestic reporters said after the game that Chen Feng's drive is very strong, but his experience is still a little bit inexperienced.

Xie Miaomiao didn't comment on the referee's punishment, but regarding the performance of the two, they were almost equally outstanding. Those guys only saw the result, but ignored the comparison of Yao Ming's and Chen Feng's qualifications.

One played in the professional league in China, and then went to the NBA's No. [-] pick. He played in the NBA's regular season for several years, while the other was just a wild boy who came out of the gang-lined streets of New York. He's honed out of wrestling, and he's only been playing regular NBA games for five months.

It's unfair to compare these two people together, but Xie Miaomiao didn't refute those colleagues. She firmly believed that Chen Feng's future would be even better. Don't forget that he is not yet 20. age.

Although the game only lasted a few minutes, Xie Miaomiao really hoped that the Celtics could not lose in the confrontation with the Spurs, so that they could win the away game and sweep away the loss to the Rockets. bad luck.

"Oh, God, thank you, did you think the Spurs were that good? I just want to tell you that you were so wrong this time, **Vitch's team, in these few minutes, but It's warming up."

"Anyway, Doug has been in the NBA for two or three years, and it's not like he hasn't played against the Spurs when he was coaching, so he knows very well that the current Spurs haven't really started to exert their strength. "

"I don't deny that the boys played really well today, but they have been forced to slow down and deal with their opponents. When have you ever seen Rivers' team settle down and play positional battles with their opponents?"

"All of this is forced, because Rondo is locked, their speed can't get up, and the Spurs' retreat speed has been very fast, which makes Rivers' fast break tactics unable to play, so he just Can grind a little bit, although the score is now even, but Doug's nose has been held by someone."

Although Murphy is a staunch supporter of Boston, he, an old fritter who has been in the NBA for nearly 20 years, can naturally see a little way in the first few minutes of the game.

What Xie Miaomiao saw was the intuitive reaction of the score, but what Murphy saw at the moment was something inside.

Why are the Celtics' results this season so fierce?In addition to the joining of Rondo and Chen Feng, Rivers set the tone of the entire strategy on the basis of playing fast.

Now many teams in the league are playing bombardment and offense. Like the Rockets, Spurs and Pistons, there are not many teams that dominate the world with defense. When two teams compare who is more powerful, the Celtics often He will gain the upper hand with an extremely fierce style of play, fast, ruthless, accurate, and wild, this is Boston's customary rhythm.

But today the Celtics obviously let go of those previous characteristics. They just settled down to grind the success rate with their opponents a little bit. The team is retreating quickly and waiting for the opponent to attack in their own half. This is completely two ways of playing!

Although the score was very close, Rivers was too careful. He gave up his strengths and was playing internal skills with **Vich. This is equivalent to a two-handed ax berserker who temporarily switched to shield fighting .

It’s fine if you’re good at this, but in front of **Vich, Rivers’s three tricks are not smooth, and may make the score stalemate on a balance now, but who can guarantee the next game Can it still maintain this efficiency?Don't forget, players' touch and physical fitness change with the passage of time.

He made seven out of ten shots just now, but what about the next game?Can the Celtics still maintain the same offensive efficiency?And don't forget, it was Vicky who called the timeout. No one may know what the old guy wants to do. Waiting to see the Spurs change their tactics first is not a good idea. A team that has always been mature If you want to make some changes, it is definitely not a simple change of tactics, it may be a ground-breaking charge!

Murphy could smell a dangerous smell fermenting in the air in the AT&T Center Arena...
