against the front

Chapter 280 It's Just Near
"It's still a little bit worse!"

On June 2010, 6, after 5 o'clock in the evening, Sacramento Arco Stadium, the second game of the finals between the Kings and the Celtics at home, and the last few minutes will be over, but the Celtics standing on the sidelines People's head coach Doug Rivers, now has a helpless and tangled look, because the Celtics are about to lose again.

In the first game of the finals, Doug Rivers, who was playing in the away game, did not immediately put on a decisive battle posture, but kept changing and trying tactics on the court, trying to find the king's life. Doors and shortcomings, but the final result made Doug Rivers unsatisfied, because Doug Rivers lost the first game of the finals without testing the king's falsehood.

After losing the first away game, the next away game, for the Celtics, although it has not reached the point where the loss is over, but this game, the Celtics also have to fight for it , because as long as they win this game, with a score of 1 to 1, the Celtics who return to the home court may solve the Kings at home, and winning an away game also means that the Celtics will Take the initiative of the entire finals into your own hands.

And in this game, in order to be able to restrain Yan Hua and the King's combination of internal and external tactics, the Celtics players on the court did everything they could to double-team Yan Hua crazily, and even at some critical moments, they were against Yan Hua. Yan Hua used the omnipotent Jordan Law.

Relying on this almost crazy tactic, the Celtics successfully restrained Yan Hua, and also made it impossible for the King to use the combination of internal and external tactics, and even once suppressed the King on the court, but this tactic also has a very big drawback , that is, the consumption of physical strength is more serious than ordinary tactics.

The Celtics, which is composed of a group of veterans, has an obvious shortcoming in terms of physical fitness, so even after the end of the three quarters, the Celtics only trailed the Kings by 1 point.

But in the face of the Kings who played their main force at the beginning of the fourth quarter, all of Doc Rivers' plans were completely disrupted. At the end of the third quarter, the veterans who had already had physical problems, I had to make a hasty appearance without getting enough rest, and after persisting for a few minutes, the situation on the court completely deteriorated.

Constrained by the salary cap, after the Celtics formed the Big Three, they no longer have enough salary space to recruit a stable scoring point, although with the rise of Rajon Rondo, the Celtics Man had a fourth scoring point, but Rondo's shooting was always a big problem.

Take this game as an example. At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, the Kings directly emptied Rajon Rondo, Yan Hua dealt with Garnett, and the rest of the players frantically surrounded Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. Rondo, who can shoot three non-stick shots when open, is nearly exhausted physically, and is being taken care of by the opponent. The Big Three have difficulty connecting the ball. In the 3 minutes before the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the Celtics team Not scoring a point directly ruined all the efforts in the first three quarters.

Although from a tactical point of view, Doug Rivers' plan in this game is not considered a failure, but it is only subject to physical limitations, making it impossible for the Celtics' main players to persist throughout the game. This kind of defensive strategy is nothing more than that, but in the result of the game, Doug Rivers lost completely, and in the regular double-team, full-time double-team, even the Jordan rule, there is no way to help the team win After that, Doug Rivers had to think of other ways.

"Doug Rivers is too obsessed with defending Yan Hua. The Jordan rule does not apply to every team. You must know that in the current NBA, the three-pointer tactics are very mature, and the Kings are a three-pointer. A team with very good ball ability concentrates all its defensive energy on the basket and will definitely receive the expected results.”

At the end of the game, Jeff Van Gundy, who was on the sidelines, also criticized Doc Rivers' defensive strategy in this game very implicitly. It received very good results, which were based on the particularity of that era, so when Doug Rivers used Jordan's law against Yan Hua in this game, Jeff Van Gundy did not think that Doug- Rivers can achieve the results he wants, because the current NBA is not the NBA 20 years ago.

"Jeff, although what you said is very reasonable, I still want to refute you. Using all means to defend the opponent's offensive core is something that every head coach will do. If you are the Celtics now The head coach, I think, your choice should be similar to that of Doug Rivers."

"For a player like Yan, if he relaxes his defense a little bit, the results are unpredictable, so I don't think Doc Rivers' defensive strategy has a problem. The Celtics just lack Just a little bit of luck.”

In the coaching world, Jeff Van Gundy can be regarded as a famous coach, so in ordinary commentary, Jeff Van Gundy is also very thorough in understanding the game situation, and as a senior basketball commentator, he is also an NBA50 coach. The big star Bill Walton also has his own unique insights.

"Maybe you're right, Bill." After Bill Wharton refuted, Jeff Van Gundy seemed to remember something, maybe it was the past history, or maybe he really put himself in the place of Doug Rivers He put himself in the position and thought about it for a while, then smiled and nodded.

While Bill Walton and Jeff Van Gundy were still discussing the situation on the court and the gains and losses of the Kings and Celtics in this game, Celtics head coach Doc Rivers took advantage of it. In the gap between dead balls, all the main players were replaced, and the game was completely abandoned.

"Just a little bit!"

After the Celtics replaced all the main players, Reggie Toyes also replaced most of the main players in the next round, and when the main players were off, as the head coach Reggie Toyce also praised them one by one with a look of excitement.

After winning this home court, the Kings are very close to the O'Brien Cup, and Reggie Toyce is only a little short of the first championship trophy in his basketball career.

　Wharton has been mentioned in these chapters recently, so I went to check Wharton’s information specifically. The Trail Blazers veterinarian, the Portland center’s curse is really well-deserved. Before participating in the draft, the template was the combination of Chamberlain and Russell. Walton was injured as soon as he arrived in the Trail Blazers, and he only had two healthy seasons in his entire career, but in these two healthy seasons, Walton won most of the honors in his career, championships, MVP, FMVP , Rebounding leader, Blocking leader, one team, one defense, maybe next time we mention that if we don't get injured, Bill Walton should be added.
