against the front

Chapter 291 Lost
"It looks like Doc Rivers really has no choice."

Perhaps during the halftime break, Doug Rivers also saw Yan Hua's technical statistics. In order to prevent Yan Hua from achieving this historical achievement on the Celtics at the North Shore Garden Arena, in the third quarter After the start of the game, the Celtics resumed double-teaming Yan Hua, Kevin Garnett went forward, Glenn Davis double-teamed, and Doug Rivers' defensive strategy , It also means that the Celtics have nothing to do with Yan Hua and the king.

Although during the intermission, Doug Rivers kept cheering up every player under his command, telling them not to give up hope, and Doug Rivers himself was also looking forward to a miracle , but when arranging the team's tactics and strategies, Doug Rivers still made two-handed preparations.

On the one hand, they are going to do their best to make a final effort in the third quarter, and if they fail, they will be defeated. On the other hand, Doug Rivers has also begun to strengthen his defense against Yan Hua. In case the Celtics unfortunately lose Losing this game and allowing Yan Hua to score 50+ in the North Shore Garden Arena, the Celtics really lost face and confidence.

Doug Rivers' little things are naturally impossible to hide from Jeff Van Gundy's eyes, so after the Celtics began to double-team Yan Hua, Jeff Van Gundy knew that Doug Rivers Now there is no hole card, and there is no room for adjustment and change. He can only rely on the performance of the players under his command, and pray that Shangdi can stand on his side.

It stands to reason that in Yan Hua's current state, double-teaming him and limiting the contact between him and his teammates is the best defensive strategy against Yan Hua, but the king's combination of internal and external tactics, the more you double-team Yan Hua inside , the happier they are. After all, the greater the double-teaming intensity inside, the more open opportunities there will be outside.

Moreover, in the first two games of the finals, it has been proved that suffocating Yan Hua is not necessarily able to disrupt the king's offense, let alone defeat the king. After the tactics that proved to be ineffective, Jeff Van Gundy saw through the true colors of Doc Rivers at a glance.

"Is this guy Shaq O'Neal!"

While defending Serge Ibaka, Glenn Davis, who has been focusing on Yan Hua, almost moved directly towards the place where Yan Hua was at the moment Yan Hua squeezed Garnett away. The position rushed over, preparing to withstand Yan Hua behind Yan Hua, and then buy time for Garnett who circled forward, thus forcing Yan Hua to give up this attack.

But just when Davis, who rushed behind Yan Hua, was about to use all his strength to hold Yan Hua fiercely from behind, blocking the space for Yan Hua to turn around, suddenly, Davis' chest It was like being hit hard by a sledgehammer.

In the previous few games, it is not that Davis has not defended Yan Hua from behind. In Davis's view, although Yan Hua's strength is very good, there is still a lot of distance from a player of O'Neal's level. There is a gap, so when Davis defended Yanhua, although he was a little embarrassed, he could barely complete the task assigned by the head coach.

However, in the defense just now, when Yan Hua held the ball and turned his back, Davis was directly knocked out by Yan Hua for more than one meter, completely losing his defensive position. With Yan Hua hanging on the basket, Davis thought he was defending O'Neal.

After confirming that the person who pushed himself out by more than one meter just now was Yan Hua, Davis also wondered whether he was not prepared when he was defending against Yan Hua just now, or whether he had not had time to exert his strength Otherwise, how could I be pushed so far by this little guy.

"Glenn, focus your attention and don't get distracted!"

When Davis himself doubted himself, the head coach Doug Rivers standing on the sidelines also turned on the hair dryer at Davis. In Doug Rivers' view, the reason why this defense failed , It is entirely Davis' responsibility. In this defense, Davis was obviously absent-minded. Otherwise, how could a powerful insider be knocked out by Yan Hua for more than one meter when he was defending against Yan Hua? When Yan Hua is O'Neill!
"Glenn, be careful, this guy is not easy today." Unlike the head coach who yelled at Davis, Garnett, who had already been entangled with Yan Hua for half the time, patted Davis on the shoulder while comforting him, While reminding Davis a few words.

In Garnett's view, Yan Hua in today's game is really no different from O'Neal, even in terms of offensive methods, he is better than O'Neal, so Garnett can understand Davis' defense just now. encounter.

"I'll be careful, Kevin." Davis, who was yelled at by the head coach, just nodded in the face of Garnett's kind reminder, and didn't take it too seriously. They had already played against each other. After so many games, Davis feels that he is relatively clear about Yan Hua's details.

But when Davis, who tried his best in the next defense, was still easily blocked by Yan Hua, Davis understood why Garnett had to remind himself to be more careful.

"What a powerful force!"

After Yan Hua pushed Glenn Davis with ease twice in a row, not only Davis himself, but also Doc Rivers standing on the sidelines, Jeff Van Gundy and Bill Wall in the commentary After a while, I also saw some clues.

Because in the first half of the game, from the beginning to the end, the Celtics' defensive strategy against Yan Hua was Garnett's single forward, so the number of Yan Hua's back attacks throughout the first half was There are only a handful of them, so except for Kevin Garnett who is defending Yan Hua, no one has noticed the change in Yan Hua's strength, because almost everyone's attention has been focused on Yan Hua's sudden appearance The pick of the basket, as well as the domineering successive blocks.

And now, Doug Rivers finally understood why he was at a disadvantage in today's game and was completely suppressed by the king.

As Doc Rivers guessed at the beginning of the game, after four finals, Yan Hua has become stronger again, while Doc Rivers is still using the vision of the previous few games. , to examine Yan Hua in today's game, and to arrange his defense.

"Losing!" Although at the end of the first half, the situation on the court was already very unfavorable to the Celtics, but Doug Rivers had no intention of admitting defeat, and now, Doug Rivers Firth said from the bottom of his heart that he lost.
