Forward to the basket

Rivers wasn't so naive as to think he could turn every player into an invincible Bumpman with just a few words.

But he knew that the anger in the hearts of these wild boys was definitely more surging than his own. He just drew out the anger so that they could rush to the field screaming and beat each other fiercely.

But before that, he needs to adjust his tactics. It's a bit unscientific to expect to win the Spurs in a chaotic battle.

A team like the Warriors is an absolute master of chaos, but they will still kneel when they encounter Vicki and the Spurs.

In the away game last week, the Warriors shot [-]% from the field, but in the end, it was the Spurs who won. Old Nelson's team was crazy like that, but he still couldn't win against the Spurs.

Compared with the lunatics of the Warriors, Rivers is not completely crazy. At least compared to his old Nelson, most people think that old Nelson is crazy, but Rivers is still a normal person for the time being.

Therefore, don't expect to gain advantage from the Spurs by relying on chaos. Maybe at the end of the game, you will suddenly find that after a long time of chaos, your position was disrupted and you lost the game.

This kind of damn feeling is probably not experienced by any team. Any team that has fought against the Spurs will subconsciously have this bad feeling. calculated.

Old Nelson is like this. It can’t be said that the old guy is not old-fashioned, but when he met **Vich, his team was already crazy, but it was still defeated in the last quarter. The Warriors lost 15 points in the fourth quarter. point.

In other words, the Spurs endured the Warriors' charge for three quarters, and then in the last twelve minutes, knocked out these Golden State lunatics with a stick, oh, sorry, it wasn't a stick, it beat them for a whole quarter.

But old Nelson really had no place to vent his anger after the game. He wanted to roar, but he could only hold it back.

Just like the Celtics were overtaken in an instant just now, you can't guess when the Spurs will suddenly explode, and they have the ability to set off a wave of offensive frenzy within a few minutes, which will overwhelm you immediately.

Only those who have personally experienced it can have the most intuitive feeling. Rivers has already felt it, and now he does not want to repeat it. If the Spurs continue to let the Spurs attack like this, then this game will not need to be played.

However, the few minutes of the game just now served as a wake-up call for Rivers. If the opportunity is not seized to counterattack now, then when the Spurs launch a second wave of strong attacks, it is very likely that those guys will lock in the victory.

Rivers didn't intend to surrender here without a fight. He asked the players to play so cautiously before, that is, to break the wrist of the Spurs here and admit defeat easily. That is not the habit of the Celtics.

It's just that it is not easy to win in the three-acre area of ​​the AT&T Center Arena. Rivers wants to leave with a victory. In addition to good luck, he has to correct the mistakes he made before. .

"Al, you come down and take a break first." Rivers needs a change now, and Jefferson also needs to calm down now. This guy's two shots were blocked by Duncan because he played too fast in the offense.

Jefferson was rarely so irritable. It can only be said that he couldn't calm down when facing Duncan who was like a stone man. At least in the matchup, he was pressed very firmly. He wanted to resist, but was suppressed.

Therefore, at this time, the best way is to let Jefferson come down to rest first. In fact, in addition to being calm, it is also because of Jefferson's two consecutive fouls in the second quarter. In the first few minutes of the second quarter, Jefferson Sen, the main starter, has already fouled twice, which is definitely not good news for the Celtics.

There are more than two quarters left in the game. Rivers didn't expect that no one would be available at that time, especially inside. If Jefferson was sent off, it is estimated that Vicky would take advantage of this weakness and keep swinging heavy punches to hit the opponent. a little.

Al Jefferson has no objection to such an arrangement, but he is also very annoyed at being beaten so badly by Duncan in the paint, but even if he is unhappy about the gap in strength, he can only admit it now.

"Chris, you go on the court. You have only one task. Make Duncan play as awkwardly as possible. That's your old opponent. I believe you should have a way." Rivers replaced Jefferson with Weber.

Although Webber is already a bit old compared to an all-around insider like Duncan who is still in his prime, in past confrontations, Webber has accumulated quite a lot of experience in matchups, and the old guy's recent state It is true that the recovery is really good, and now Rivers needs him to play and entangle Duncan.

"Tim is a very difficult guy." Weber knew that it would be difficult to deal with such an opponent who was still in his prime, but for an old guy who has been in this league for more than ten years, he is not yet As for the fear of matchups with Duncan, as in the past, it's just difficult, not enough to make him flinch.

"Boss, why didn't I go up?" Webb said that he had no problem, but Chen Feng didn't think so. In fact, after Jefferson's side was replaced, he planned to tell Rivers that he could go up. .

"Your task is to attack. In the few minutes just now, you retreated too much to the perimeter to do pick-and-rolls. There is a gap inside, but having a chance does not mean that you can attack. I need you and Christo to cooperate now."

"The Spurs' offense has turned from the outside to the inside. When the shooting rate drops a little, this is their safest way to score. I don't want to see this situation continue. The inside offense must open up the situation!"

In fact, Rivers also considered whether to use a wild guy like Chen Feng to stand up to Duncan, but after studying with Thibodeau, he still rejected this idea. At least, doing so now would be a bit of a loss.

It wasn't because they thought that Chen Feng might not be able to deal with Duncan, but now that the Celtics were falling behind, it would be absolutely idiotic for Chen Feng to use all his energy to keep an eye on Duncan.

Use your sharpest inside weapon to play head-to-head with the opponent, even if you can limit Duncan's performance, so what?Don't forget, the Spurs are leading the score now, and this is the opponent's home court.

Instead of letting Chen Feng spend all his energy to keep a close eye on Duncan, it would be better to let Weber play and give Chen Feng more support in the paint, so that the kid has more space to use, and he can be more proactive in attacking.

Take root in the interior and let Chen Feng attack Elson. In the first few minutes of the first and second quarters, Chen Feng moved too much outside. Rivers must let this kid attack the interior more fiercely. Son!

"Your task is to get Elson out. Don't forget, you only scored two points now. I don't want this game to be the one you scored the least this season. Now let's go and attack. Chris will cooperate with your impact."

Rivers was creating the conditions for Chen Feng to attack the Spurs' inside line. The first quarter was due to his own layout error, and the second quarter was due to misplaced defense. But now, this kid must speed up and charge wildly.

"I reserve my opinion, but I will have no problem dealing with their center forward. If I get knocked down by him, then I will definitely get naked and get out of here. Just watch, boss."

Although Chen Feng still held back his energy and wanted to break the wrist with Duncan, but Rivers had already given an explanation, and Webb had also played, so Chen Feng had to implement this tactical arrangement to blow up Elson !

In the previous ten minutes of confrontation, Chen Feng has always been able to overwhelm Elson in rebounding, but he has not been able to communicate well with the outside line on the offensive end, and when he suppressed his speed, he also attacked very well. It's awkward, every time the Celtics attack, they can only find opportunities when Chen Feng pulls to the outside in rotation.

This directly caused Chen Feng to miss offensive opportunities many times. It can be said that this was also deliberately done by the Spurs. Vicky hoped that the internal confrontation would be Duncan bumping into Jefferson, not Chen Feng.

Compared to those previous teams that underestimated Chen Feng, **Vich is by no means an idiot. He could tell that the current Celtics team's interior offense and the most lethal force at the basket was that wild boy.

So at this time, **Vivich must find a way to make the Celtics' offense a little bit awkward, and try to make Jefferson face Duncan instead of letting Duncan face Chen Feng's attack.

Jefferson has always played very stable, so Rivers didn't pay much attention to this offensive choice, but when Duncan broke out suddenly in the second quarter, Rivers realized that this was a trap, just to let Chen Feng turn off the fire.

Every time Chen Feng pulls to the perimeter to do a pick-and-roll, he will block people smoothly and create a cutting or passing route for Rondo. This is completely a big hole dug by the Spurs, and they really hope that the game will be played like this.

It’s not that the Spurs are so sophisticated, it’s just that when they can make a choice, they are more willing to let the game be under their control, such as allowing Jefferson to catch the ball more and choose to play with the ball more. .

Two evils are the lesser of two evils. **Vichitch doesn't know this sentence, but he also understands this truth. Let Jefferson be the main attacker, or let Chen Feng attack at the basket. Obviously, the Eagles chose the latter wisely. .

This was a very serious mistake, so Rivers didn't want to continue. Therefore, while replacing Jefferson, Webber came on the field to entangle Duncan, and Chen Feng just wanted to let him go and attack!

"You have only one task, as long as the other party keeps beating like this, you will go on the field and kick Elson's ass until it makes **Vich feel pain, even if you can handle it, if you can't handle it, you will come down !"

When assigning missions with Chen Feng, Rivers's expression was very tyrannical. He knew that he was being tricked, so he couldn't be too happy. Moreover, what the team needs most now is this kind of murderous aura!

The adjustment made by Rivers was that he chose the simplest way and let Chen Feng attack until both Vicki and the Spurs couldn't take it anymore. The Spurs can't just let the Spurs dominate this damn game!

What is the tactical adjustment of the Celtics? **Vichitch is not clear, but this old guy was not idle during the timeout. He will not relax his instructions to his subordinates just because the team leads the score. .

"Keep the previous state and let the rhythm of the game be in your hands. The opponent should make substitutions. Tim, if the No. 99 is responsible for marking you, I need you to understand how you should deal with it."

**Vich can think of what adjustments Rivers will make. After all, Jefferson's performance just now has lost his usual level. Even an idiot knows what to do. It is inevitable that Rivers will change.

It is necessary to substitute someone to mark Duncan. If Chen Feng comes over, then **Weiqi will not let Duncan fight recklessly. As long as he can mobilize the opponent's inside defense, he never minds who will be the main attacker.

If Chen Feng was staring at Duncan, then Rivers would definitely find that Duncan, who scored consecutive points, would pay more attention to support and let others dominate the offense.

There's no need to play dead-on matchups with your opponent. **Vichitch doesn't have the hobby of letting his ace core explode the opponent's main force. That kind of matchup will only consume more energy for Duncan.

Use the simplest way to win the game, instead of making people remember that there will be any classic coordination or wonderful shots in this game, such flashy things, ** Weiqi has always been very repulsive.

As for the applause and the process, it doesn't matter. Even if it's a mediocre win, as long as it's good for the team, **Vic has always been open to comers, so he won't be entangled in These.

If not, the Spurs would not be disliked by Stein, just because they are too practical to make those non-professional basketball fans feel bored, but only this kind of team is eligible to win the championship.

"Well, I understand." Duncan still didn't say much, but he has already expressed his attitude. This guy will not deny all the tactical adjustments made by the head coach, and he will implement them very firmly.

This kind of strong execution is definitely the fundamental reason why the Spurs can become a strong player in the Western Conference. As long as Vicki gives the order, no one will refute it. The other coaches can only be envious and jealous.

But Vicky never imagined that Rivers was not knocked out by the Spurs' attack. He didn't even tell Feng Chen to pay attention to assisting the defense inside. He just gave Weber the task of marking Duncan.

One is an old guy who is about to retire, and the other is the core of the team at its peak. From the perspective of outsiders, this kind of confrontation will definitely be a one-sided scene, but Weber absolutely does not want to be blown away by Duncan.

Especially after having fought many times, Weber didn't want to be kicked on the floor by this latecomer before retiring. He was very happy to have a personal confrontation with this old opponent face to face.

"Hey, Tim." It was a simple greeting, but Weber's disturbance to Duncan was by no means a problem that could be solved so easily. Everyone was surprised by his close defense after he came up.

Since the day Webber entered the NBA, he has been labeled as a genius offensive insider. From college to the NBA, Weber is definitely a good offensive player, but at the same time, his defense is also the most criticized problem, except for rebounding It can still reach an average level, and the others are in a mess.

Especially when he was in the Kings, Weber's mission was to unleash firepower on the offensive end, and he also hated the close-fitting defensive method, not to mention that he could play some dark tricks.

But it is such a person who seldom takes the initiative to defend, get stuck, and play tricks behind the scenes in people's impressions. As soon as he made his debut today, he unscrupulously put on a fierce and vicious look next to Duncan. .

This kind of change is really unexpected. Even Duncan, who is as stable as a mountain, did not expect that Webber would fight against him so fiercely, so as soon as he collided with him, he was almost intercepted by Weber behind him.

It was originally a pass after Manu Ginobili advanced along the three-point line. Duncan took the ball with his back to the basket, but as soon as the basketball was in his hands, before he could grasp it firmly, Weber stretched out a hand like a ghost. come over.

It is also thanks to Duncan's two-handed movement of catching the ball. If there is a slight negligence, it is very likely that the ball will be intercepted, but such a short contact made Duncan and the Spurs fans break out in cold sweat.

"This guy Chris has also changed. If it was placed three or four years ago, he would never have done this when he was defending." Speaking of.

"It should be said that since he came to Boston, he has changed a lot, especially after training against Chen Feng every time. I even heard him say that he chose Boston to find his goal for the last time."

Thibodeau watched Webber aggressively interfere with Duncan, who had beaten Jefferson before, in the personal confrontation, and he was also a little emotional. Just such an old fritter, and even an old guy who was already a bit retiring, after seeing Chen Feng, He actually gave up the invitation of the Pistons and switched to Boston. Except for Angie's efforts, you can only say that the wild boy made Webber start from scratch instead of trying to find a team to get a championship ring.

Especially every time during training, Chen Feng and Weber always had a lot of communication. Apart from the bald boy who benefited a lot, Weber also changed a lot. He lost the depression he had during the 76ers team, and he had more energy. .

Just like now, Weber would have disdained this kind of close defense three or four years ago, but now he is willing to use this method to deal with Duncan and show his ferocity.

When a person wants to change, he will have infinite motivation. Even a classic car like Weber will start to become full of horsepower, as if it has been poured with oil by Chen Feng, and anyone can feel that kind of motivation.

Even Thibodeau and Rivers believe that Webber is far better now than when he averaged 76+18 per game for the 10ers. big.

The efficiency of an energetic Webber on the defensive end may not be able to contain Duncan, just like the defense just now, although it almost steals the ball, but after Duncan has the ball in his hands, Webber is still on the personal defense. It's a bit of a disadvantage, after all, he has been tortured by injuries for a long time, and he is no longer at the peak in terms of physical fitness and strength, but Duncan is now in a golden period, and he is a complete victory in these areas.

Turning back, feinting, turning around, facing the basket, crossing steps, before Weber blocked, Duncan had completed a semi-sideways low-handed layup attack. Although it was a bit hindered, the score was rewritten again.

11 points, this is the biggest gap since the start of the game, and this is also the No.13 point that Duncan has scored in a row.

Duncan is also using this kind of attack to warn his old opponent in front of him, don't think that being a little bit fierce can prevent me!Although this guy didn't growl or roar, his clenched fists already said a lot.

But Weber didn't pay too much attention to being beaten by Duncan. He even twitched the corner of his mouth, spread his hands and glanced at Rivers, and Chen Feng, who was defending from the side and failed to block Duncan's shot.

"I can't help it. My knees are no longer in the state of seventeen or eighteen years old. I really can't keep up with the speed of turning around and laying up with low hands." Although the old guy said so, his expression was not Look depressed.

There is really no need to explain more, and there is no need to be too frustrated, because less than ten seconds later, Weber was on the offensive end and avenged the revenge just now. Facing Duncan's marking, he also made an accurate hit. shoot.

Everyone knows that Weber is a good offensive player, but now this name needs to be added to the past tense. Even many reporters are counting down his retirement, and many people are nostalgic. It's getting old, and that kind of gorgeous footsteps and nimble movements can only be remembered, but when Duncan stared at Webb face to face, the Michigan tiger bared its fangs again.

Attacking without any warning, Rondo had no good chance to cut inside under Parker's entanglement, so he could only throw the ball to Pierce who was waiting by the side. When the basketball was passed to Webber, it was a choice of last resort, not deliberate.

Usually in normal training, this kind of pass is handed over to Weber, which is a transition. This old guy's passing skills and basketball IQ are getting more sophisticated as he gets older, and he can always find a suitable position to pass the ball out.

Pierce handed the ball to Webber when he was being pressed for defense, that is, he believed that this guy would not be a little calm-headed and reckless like Jefferson, but the next scene left Pierce in a daze.

Weber received the ball, originally according to the training routine, he would feint at most, and then pull the defender's help defense, or let Duncan block the top defense, take advantage of this opportunity, pass the ball smoothly, and run back to the outside Rondo out of the way, or Pierce along the inside of the three-point line to create an offensive gap for a shot.

This kind of attack from outside to inside has been practiced a lot since Weber came here, and it is often used in the usual games.

But Webb, who had the ball in his hand, did not choose to pass the ball after pushing his back!Instead, he suddenly made a fake move like a butterfly wearing a flower. At the moment Duncan was defending, he half-stepped back and completed the turn.

In the blink of an eye, his back turned into a face-up basket, and Weber didn't intend to give Duncan, who was defending against him, any chance to breathe. After turning around, his shoulder slammed into Duncan who was sticking up, and his whole body just ran over.

Weber's body has never been the kind of very strong muscular man, and he is already in his 30s, and his confrontation ability is also on the decline stage, but at this moment, the impact force of this old guy is enough for Duncan to fight for. He looked sideways, and it was impossible to defend against, there was no way to stop his crushing attack.

A standard time difference means that Duncan's foothold is not stable. If Duncan hadn't posted it, Weber might not have attacked so smoothly, but he has confronted this opponent too many times. Of course, he knows how Duncan will defend himself. Therefore, Weber took advantage of this opportunity to show his long-lost ruthlessness.

Against Duncan's body, separated from the opponent's big slap that might block the shot, gorgeous footsteps blossomed under the Spurs' basket. Under Duncan's gaze, Webber just turned around and completed a one-handed slam dunk after the cut.

There is no earth-shattering pull, but a light one-handed pour is enough to silence the entire arena.

After completing the slam dunk, Weber didn't pull his neck and roar to the sky. He just looked at Duncan calmly, then raised his right hand high, clenched it into a fist in the air, and slammed down hard once.

Having been in the NBA for too long, Webber even felt that sometimes he was almost forgotten by the league. When Iverson was about to leave the 76ers, the former Sacramento King also thought about leaving.

If it wasn't for the head-on collision with the Celtics, if it wasn't for the face-to-face confrontation with Chen Feng, maybe Weber would have disappeared from the league so quietly, or followed the Pistons for a ring.

Anyway, he didn't even think about whether he could continue to stand on the court one day and fight with those big guys, but now, he is standing on the Spurs' territory, waving his fist at his old opponent!

This feeling is like a freshman. Although his legs are old and his skills are no longer agile, on the basketball court, veterans also have their own way of life. Just like Weber at this moment, he can still make the entire arena work for him. It's enough to shut your mouth, or let out a sigh of relief.

Lian Po is old, can he still eat?Weber certainly didn't know that in ancient China, there was an old guy who, after being questioned, could fight back against those who tried to prove that he was no longer capable with a brutal performance of keeping the enemy out of the country.

At this second, an old guy who is about to be engraved in people's memory is also telling those boring people in this way, I am still the tiger from Michigan!

When I show my fangs, everyone will be terrified!

(First of all, I wish book friends, I am a student who loves to eat grass, have a happy day. By the way, you are 20 years old, and you should be sensible. Be good and obedient in the future, and I will not beat you...Okay, stop talking, Twenty, you are also a person who is going to be three, everything goes well... There is another chapter later, um, those guys who call me a master in the group, you all wait for me... )
