unfinished glory

Chapter 243 Take Tianwang Mountain Again

With the victory in the last game, the Celtics seemed to have found a way to beat their opponent, which was to strangle Li Chongxiao.

The Grizzlies team building idea is very clear, that is, with Li Chongxiao as the core, personnel are allocated according to his technical characteristics, and the entire tactics and system are integrated based on his style of play.It can be said that the entire team is serving him.

This style of play has made Li Chongxiao. After joining the Grizzlies, he obtained unlimited shooting rights. He can get the team's highest score in every game, and "swipe" two scoring champions and an MVP.

Of course, Li Chongxiao rewarded the Grizzlies even more generously.Not to mention the off-court influence, but just looking at the changes in the team, it has brought a team with the worst record to the top of the league, and now it has entered the finals.

He proved himself enough to allow any team to offer any privilege and implement the tactics centered on him to the end.

Carlisle is a smart coach, and naturally he will not suppress the stars for the so-called personal authority. After all, not everyone is as easy-talking as Duncan.

The two Gasols he set up as the starting point of the second tactic did not challenge Li Chongxiao's authority, but were just a supplement to the team's tactics.

What the Celtics want to attack is the core tactics of the Grizzlies.

So in the fifth finals, you can often see someone pestering Li Chongxiao without the ball, and there is another person on standby not far away.After catching the ball, three people in green clothes came up and surrounded them.

Even Pierce, from time to time as a double-teamer or the main force of the top defense, participated in the tactics to limit Li Chongxiao.

In fact, Pierce is the most embarrassing one in the Green Army. As a native of the team, he plays a very important role in the team.Although Garnett is more famous and is also the core of tactics in essence, he is still the leader of the team in name.

Before the formation of the Big Three, Pierce's reputation and honor were at the bottom, not only far behind Garnett, but even Ray Allen.Now that he has become the leader of a strong team, his self-confidence has inflated a lot, and he said arrogant words.

To become a team leader, you must perform the duties of a leader and lead the Green Army to complete the revival.As a result, Pierce led the team and lost to the Lakers twice in the finals, allowing the biggest competitor to tie the number of championships between the two sides.

This record has caused many Celtics celebrities and fans to be dissatisfied with him, thinking that he is not suitable for the position of leader, and Garnett should be given maximum authority from the beginning.

Doubts put Pierce under pressure, eager to prove himself.Originally thought that it would be easy to take care of the Grizzlies, the loser of the regular season, but he didn't expect that the opponent was not what it used to be, but beat himself to the ground.

In the previous game, Pierce also took the initiative to provoke Li Chongxiao, but he was beaten to shame and became a laughing stock.

That's why Pierce had to win again. He was particularly active in this game, rushing to defend Li Chongxiao.

This kind of intensity of defense has some impact on Li Chongxiao, but the interference is impossible to surpass the Lakers.Even if Pierce is transformed for another ten seasons, he will not be able to reach the defensive level of Kobe or Artest.

After this season's Western Conference finals, Li Chongxiao's self-confidence is unprecedentedly strong.I didn't think it was so great before, but now I know that my shooting is too stable. Even the strong defensive combination of the Lakers can't restrict myself from scoring.

This is very instructive for his future career.In the future, you should focus on learning, watch more Jordan's offensive videos, and play more reasonably.Learn less from Kobe, his unreasonable shooting is too easy to lead people into the ditch.

For a player who shoots 24 or [-] times per game, if he misses a shot or a rush shot, he will lose three to five points in his field goal percentage.

As long as he is more cautious and not so sloppy, his shooting percentage will break through [-]% with ease.

With good wishes, Li Chongxiao happily took the points over the Celtics' mediocre defenders.

It doesn't matter whether there are two or three people defending, as long as the timing of your shots is accurate and the jump is high enough, the opponent can't interfere.For every two shots, as long as one goal is guaranteed to be scored, it is considered to tear the opponent's defensive network to pieces.

……

Seeing Li Chongxiao's successive goals, Rivers' complexion became darker every moment.During the intermission, facing the score of 56:41, he had no choice but to take out the old chicken soup and pour it again and again.

If Rivers is a champion coach, what he said may still be convincing, but after two consecutive seasons of failure, the deep distrust has been hidden in the players' hearts, but now is not a good time to vent.

In the locker room of the Grizzlies, there was another scene. Matt Barnes pulled Li Chongxiao to express his admiration.In his opinion, with such a strong defensive system, the Celtics can still play with ease and even have the upper hand and score 31 points. I'm afraid Li Chongxiao is better than Jordan.

Carlisle took advantage of the situation to express his satisfaction with the team's current situation, asking everyone to continue to maintain the current state of affairs and make persistent efforts. At the same time, he also reminded the players to pay attention to the opponent's counterattack in the second half, and not to be extremely happy.

Sure enough, after the kick-off, the Celtics began to organize a counterattack. While keeping the defensive pressure on Li Chongxiao unchanged, they changed their strategy and focused on shooting shots to force him to break through, making Garnett the main point to defend Li Chongxiao.

Garnett really put in a lot of effort. As long as Li Chongxiao breaks through, he will definitely step forward to help defend, sometimes even ignoring Gasol behind him.

Li Chongxiao was also so happy, he broke through without scoring the ball, and focused on playing against Garnett.It wasn't that he was stunned, but that he wanted to consume the opponent's greatest vitality.

On the one hand, Garnett fought hand-to-hand with Li Chongxiao, who had come up hard, on the other hand, he had to show his strength and take over the attack.After all, he is not the wolf king he was back then, and he is not so energetic.What's more, even in his prime, he was not known for his strong offense.

After the third quarter, the Grizzlies did not widen the point difference and only won by one point in a single quarter, but everyone knew that the general situation was over.

Among the Big Three, Ray Allen played fairly well under Battier's entanglement; Pierce was taken care of by Li Chongxiao himself, and his shooting percentage was terrible; Garnett, who was the core of the game, scored a lot of goals, but this meeting was almost paralyzed fell to the ground.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies did not rush to open the score to end the game. Instead, they kindly let the substitutes play for a while. After the Celtics' Big Three played, they replaced all the main players.

Under a wave of fierce attacks, Garnett was exhausted until his calf cramp ended, and he reaped the fruits of victory.

……

The post-match analysis is dominated by experts. The Celtics lost in two aspects in this game. One was that they were attacked tactically by their opponents, and they seized their painful feet and chased after them.Another factor is that Li Chongxiao is too strong, using his personal ability to penetrate the team's defense.

As for whether the Celtics have a chance, everyone is generally pessimistic.If you can't guard against Li Chongxiao, it will be difficult to take away the victory.
