NBA: The opening game gets a death entanglement

The Celtics took advantage of the absence of the Knicks’ three main players to bring the score closer by one point, and now the game is over with more than a minute to go, Lin Dong does not know if Coach D’Antoni needs to play by himself, and also looks at Coach D’Antoni with his eyes.

“No need to watch, you don’t need to stay on the court for more than a minute of the game, you need to hurry up and recover your strength, I’m looking at the Celtics’ interior line very angry now, and you’re going to break their inside line for me in a while.”

“Whether it’s playing inside or attacking from the outside to the inside, I ask you to tear up the inside of the Celtics, only then can you hit the confidence of the Celtics the most.”

D’Antoni saw the Celtics’ interior and scored repeatedly every time, while the Knicks were disturbed by the other side trying to score inside.

So now the Knicks stay on the court to score more through mid-range shots and outside shots, while the inside impact is very small.

It is precisely because the opposing center is very strong, but the Knicks’ interior is not so good.

, It is precisely for this reason that although the score of the two sides is not too close, it can be seen from the scene that the way to score is different.

“Just now I did a comparative analysis of the data, and found that our inside direct score and inside breakthrough score were half less than the other party, which already shows the problem we have now.”

“If you analyze it at the break, we only score 20% inside and all the rest of the scoring comes from mid-range and outside, which proves that the Celtics’ interior defense is definitely better than ours.”

“That’s why I’m telling you to have to attack the Celtics’ interior, only by beating them where they are strongest can they completely lose confidence, and we have to have a variety of scoring tools.”

“If we only use a single scoring method, the Celtics’ coach will inevitably target us in the next quarter, and this scoring method will take the necessary means to limit us, but it will put us in passivity.”

Lin Dong saw this situation and heard the words of Coach D’Antoni, and he knew what the coach was worried about, because the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.

Even a rookie who is new to the team knows that if you always use such mid-range and outside shooting, once the feel drops, it will inevitably lead to a subsequent decline in shooting percentage.

And if the opponent strengthens the defense of the outside line, it will also cause problems with the Knicks’ shooting percentage, and it will also let the score be pulled in by the opponent.

Therefore, coach D’Antoni stressed that it is necessary to open a breakthrough from the opponent’s inside, and only through the combination of internal and external scoring can it help the team.

Walking on a single leg is likely to be targeted by the other party after catching such shortcomings.

At this time, if the Knicks do not have other scoring points, the situation on the court will inevitably be less optimistic.

It is precisely because of this consideration that coach D’Antoni did not send Lin Dong back to the field, he needs Lin Dong to recover his strength as soon as possible, even if he rests for more than a minute now, he can use more physical strength to impact the opponent’s interior in the second quarter.

Because this coach Anthony also knows that when shooting from mid-range or long-distance, the physical exertion is not large.

On the contrary, it is the most physically exhausting when fighting with the opponent on the inside, repeatedly throwing off the defenders through their own speed, and killing on the inside.

It is also because of this consideration that Lin Dong does not need to return to the game for more than a minute, but allows him to seize the time to recover his strength and prepare to play at the beginning of the second quarter.

This ensures that the Celtics can also have other scoring points after seeing through the Knicks’ tactics, and not all the treasures are on scoring through the mid-range and outside, although the Knicks now also occasionally score on the inside.

But D’Antoni believes that it is not enough, it is precisely because of the comparison with the opponent’s inside line that such data analysis is obtained, and the two sides that remain on the field now are completely inside competitions.

Whether on offense or defense, as long as the Celtics’ interior can break through the Knicks, there is a good chance of shooting the ball into the basket.

And when the Knicks’ interior is on offense, if they can’t effectively break through the Celtics’ defense, the possibility of failure is greater.

It is precisely because there are not many opportunities to break through the Celtics’ defense, so they can only score through the middle range and outside, which is not caught up by the Celtics.

But D’Antoni clearly recognizes the shortcomings.
