God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 560 Look at someone else?
The Bobcats trailed 50-53 at halftime, but that wasn't what Jackson wanted to see.In his view, the Celtics either had a wave of climax to prove that this adjustment was wrong, or they were hit with a wave of small climax to prove that this adjustment was correct, but the two sides are now almost standing on the same starting line, which is Let Jackson be uncertain.

As soon as he returned to the locker room, Jackson pulled Chang Wei aside and asked in a low voice: "Should we try another option? I feel that Trevor is still not very good at facing KG. I think we should let him Here comes Tony..."

Chang Wei didn't speak, but was seriously thinking about the feasibility of letting Allen defend Garnett.What happened to Ariza proved that Garnett does not need to be afraid of being pushed away from the basket at all. In addition, with Rondo passing him the ball, even if Allen successfully withstood his bottom plate, he can easily play in the COSCO. The distance to hit the shot, and the height advantage is relatively more obvious.

But the problem now is that in addition to letting Allen play to try, the Bobcats have almost no other way.There may be, but it is definitely not something that can be thought of on the spot. In other words, letting Allen defend Garnett is the last feasible measure for this game.

Thinking of this, Chang Wei sighed, and said to Jackson: "Damon, do we have any other ways?"

Jackson shrugged, strode to the middle of the locker room, and said loudly: "Before setting up the tactics for the second half, I want to announce the starting lineup, Jarrett, Brandon, Tony, Trevor, Mark, you will be in the third I hope you don’t let me down by playing for the team at the beginning of the quarter. And, Tony, you have an extra task..."

Speaking of which, Jackson glanced at Allen and continued: "Obviously, whether we can defend KG is the key to whether we can win this game. In the second quarter, Trevor can't do anything about him. I need you to try it." ,is that OK?"

Allen scratched his head and said distressedly: "But my height is too far from him, I don't think this is a good idea. Of course, if I need to do it, I will do my best, but is there any trick?" Can you tell me?"

Without waiting for Jackson to speak, Chang Wei said to him: "Tony, you should have seen in the first half that it was difficult for Trevor to interfere with KG with his long arms, so I think we can use other methods to defend, such as Say use your great lower body strength to hold him down, keep him out of the basket, and try to interfere with his shot, get it?"

Allen nodded and replied, "I understand. I'm not sure how it will work, but I will follow your arrangement."

Chang Wei is very clear about Jackson's thoughts. He obviously wants to play a lineup of one big and four small, which requires outside players to run more and create shooting opportunities.However, with Garnett at the basket, it is already difficult to continue to play inside. It is normal to shift the focus of offense to the outside. Under such circumstances, the first and fourth juniors are indeed a better lineup than the Twin Towers.

After arranging the style of play for the second half, Jackson asked the players to hurry up and prepare for the game, while he continued to chat with Chang Wei. Of course, the topic was still about the game. He knew that now he could be regarded as a dead horse as a living horse doctor up.

"Chang, if even Tony can't handle KG, what else can we do?" He asked worriedly.

"At least not in this game. We have to analyze the game to come up with a suitable countermeasure. To some extent, Tony is our last straw, although I think he may not be able to defend... "

The helplessness on Chang Wei’s face gave Jackson a headache. He always believed that his good friend could do anything, whether it was player training, tactical arrangements or even picking new players. Chang Wei was not the head coach of the team just because he didn’t want to be .But now he realizes that Chang Wei is not omnipotent, and now both of them are helpless against Garnett, which is very rare.

After the start of the second half, Allen faced Garnett for the first time. According to Chang Wei, he tried his best to push Garnett away from the basket, forcing him to keep trying jump shots.As good as Garnett's jumper is, it's at least not a bad idea to keep him away from the rim, and Allen continues to engage in constant physical confrontation in an attempt to wear him down.

Garnett attaches great importance to this little man, and Ariza has given him a profound lesson.But Allen is tougher than Trevor Ariza, which annoyed Garnett, who missed two consecutive jumpers, despite the huge height gap between the two sides.Allen's defense is not dirty, but that doesn't mean he won't use some small moves. Every time he makes physical contact when Garnett is about to take off and shoot, he will damage the opponent's center of gravity to the maximum extent, and the hit rate is naturally difficult to guarantee. up.

When Garnett fell into the quagmire, the Bobcats took the opportunity to tie the score and completed the go-ahead.It's a pity that they couldn't further expand the point difference. As the number one singles player of the Celtics, Pierce decisively took over the banner of offense and succeeded in singles against Ariza. His huge buttocks are an important guarantee for post-up singles. Ariza Apparently there was no way to stop him.

Allen's defense allowed Garnett to score only 4 points in the third quarter, but also contributed only 3 rebounds and 1 block.The reason is simple, Allen simply took himself out of the entire system of the Bobcats, his only job is to follow Garnett closely, no matter what he has to do, to some extent, he has completed and Garnett Nate's exchange.

This is beneficial to the Bobcats. After all, Allen is basically invisible on the offensive end, and Garnett is an important part of the Celtics' offensive system.If it weren't for Pierce and Ray Allen to maintain a good offensive firepower, the Bobcats would have turned the last quarter into garbage time. Even so, they still led the Celtics 78 to 70 at the end of the three quarters. It was not easy for the Bobcats to enter the fourth quarter with a 8-point lead.

Of course, this does not mean that the Bobcats are guaranteed to win this game. Facing any experienced team, they must be careful to complete the comeback at the last critical moment.Although the Bobcats reached the second round of the playoffs last year, they can only be considered inexperienced in front of the Celtics.The last 12 minutes are equally critical for both teams, and it depends on who can withstand the pressure until the last moment. The Bobcats dare not say that they are very good in this regard, but they are not without a chance of winning.
