Chapter 138: Game (2)


War is a continuation of politics, and the arena is an extension of the training ground. What kind of performance a team or a player can perform in the game depends on 80% of their level in training. "≤three"≤Jiangge"≤small"≤ said that in a real game, there will never be new tactics, no new routines, no new combinations, everything has been trained thousands of times, but how to play it requires players. On-the-spot play and the coach's formation.
It was by no means an accident that Leon made Wang Zhizhi the first time. They had practiced this routine countless times in training, otherwise the cooperation between Arenas and Wang Zhizhi would not be so smooth. But limited by Wang Zhizhi's own abilities, Leon expects that the opening five minutes will be his limit. After this time, he will no longer have a positive effect on the court, but a negative energy.
After Bradley came on the field, Wang Zhizhi could not get a one-on-one bargain, and he could not fully mobilize Bradley. Although this 7-foot-7 big bamboo pole is far from people's expectations, it is the nba on the defensive end The King of Blocks was more than enough to deal with Wang Zhizhi, and the Mavericks' inside defense problem was basically solved. On the outside, Michael Finley is not a defensive player, but his height, wingspan, and physical fitness are not comparable to Nash. Let him go against Arenas. The outside line is not. Will be torn apart so easily.
Arenas' offensive skills have not yet reached the point where he can easily surpass Finley, his positional offensive organization experience is not very sufficient, the Celtics players clearly fell into a chaos. Leon did not like to call timeouts in past games. The premise is that even if the situation on the court is unfavorable, the players are not in disorder. He was able to stick to his style of play, which is obviously not working now, and he must pause his changes.
In a short timeout of 20 seconds, Leon made two substitutions. First of all, Wang Zhizhi's opening character was completed, with six points and one rebound. Quite a complete data for him. He will have the opportunity to perform later, but not now. It was not Tony Batty who replaced him, but Chris Anderson. Compared with Batty, In addition to blocking shots, Anderson is not as good as Batty in all aspects such as technology, but Anderson has one thing that Leon values ​​very much, that is his passion. When the team has problems with morale, replacing Anderson is undoubtedly a good choice.
Then Leon decided to replace Michael Reid and replace Steve Kerr.
"Steve. You play as a shooting guard to replace Michael, but help Gilbert share the pressure of holding the ball. Also, when you are defensive, you deal with Nash. Finley will continue to give to Gilbert. Don't be afraid of the match. The confrontation of the old ball skin, cheer the boy, use more to get around, remember to defend in advance." Leon said to Cole and Arenas respectively.
This is a combination of two point guards. It has not appeared in the previous game. It is also a routine that has been practiced repeatedly in training. In fact, this combination is designed for the Nets. Mainly to deal with Kidd and Kittles' double locks on the outside line, Reid's own ball control ability is average. After using Cole, although there will be defensive problems, there are three Cole, Arenas and Pierce. With a relatively stable ball-holding point on the outside, the Celtics will have more changes in their positional attack. In the Eastern Conference finals last year, the Celtics were often unable to launch a second fast break under the pressure of the Nets' perimeter defense, had to fall into position, and finally died in an inefficient positional battle.
Now facing the Mavericks, it will be a good opportunity to experiment with double point guards.
"Back to the game, the Celtics made a staff adjustment, we see, they played Steve Kerr and Chris Anderson, replaced Reed and Wang Zhizhi, so the Celtics have two possessions. Guards, I don't know if their defense will be a problem." Brad Nessler raised a question for Wharton and Talbot.
"There will definitely be some impact, but now the Celtics need to solve the offense most. Obviously they have to shift the focus of offense from the inside to the outside. Wang Zhizhi's shining is only temporary. He is a surprise soldier and cannot always provide stability. A mature coach should accurately realize that when a miracle occurs, you must be grateful, but you must not rely on the miracle to survive. I think Leon did it. "Wharton’s rhetoric always seems unique.
"It's that simple that the Celtics' perimeter will be penetrated." Talbot retorted, looking uncomfortable with Walton.
At this time, Anderson sent a sideline ball outside the bounds and continued to be controlled by Arenas. At this time, with Cole on the court, Arenas' mentality was completely different. The veteran pressed for assistance, his body relaxed, and the Finley who was invited to face was not so terrible. He was just a swingman with average defensive skills, and his arms grew faster.
Leon arranged a No. 1 special tactic for the team during the timeout. This is a common tactic used by all teams in the NBA. It is usually designed for the top scorer. According to the different team staffing, the players are in position and distribution. There will be a slight difference. Leon also liked this tactic very much in the first quarter. It can help the team's two scorers Pierce or Antoine Walker to open up the touch. This time he chose to start with Walker.
Walker moved up slightly from the free throw line, and quickly made a pretense to get rid of Nowitzki's defense. At the same time, Arenas moved the ball from right to left and Paul Pierce stepped forward to give him a pick and roll. cover. On the other hand, Chris Anderson has left the left side rib where he was standing, and rushed to the center to cover Walker.
The two screens went on at the same time, Arenas walked 45 degrees to the left, and Walker used Anderson's screen to cut to the bottom left. At the same time, Paul Pierce, who completed the screen, went to the top of the arc to make a threat, and Anderson turned back in, ready to grab a rebound. At this time Arenas has three options for passing the ball. The first one is free from Pierce and passes directly to Pierce for three shots. The second one is when Walker walks to the basket. Walker makes a layup. The kind is that Walker comes to the left rib and lobs for Walker to complete the singles.
Leon knows that with the current passing level of Arenas, only the third can be achieved. The first requires good judgment and timing, not to mention the second, requires master-level passing skills and precision. Prejudge, otherwise it is a mistake. Sure enough, Arenas gave Walker a lob. When Walker received the ball, Nowitzki was not ready for his defense. Walker turned and squeezed Nowitzki inside, and made a small right-handed throw.
"Excellent footsteps, extremely fast pace, Nowitzki has enough defensive end today." Wharton commented Nowitzki's defense, his footsteps and confrontation are indeed a problem.
But Nowitzki is not a vegetarian on the offensive end. The Celtics switched defenses and let Chris Anderson deal with Nowitzki. Leon knows that Anderson can't help Nowitzki, but he needs Anderson to experience what it feels like to face the league's top shooting power forward. Looking back, Nowitzki received the ball on the right side of the familiar free-throw line, a coherent and soft mid-range shot, and Anderson tried to block, but the result was simply out of reach. The ball draws a high arc in the air and enters the net hollow.
"Judging the timing of his shot, don't think about blocking" Leon couldn't help shouting from the field. Good defense is not to cover the opponent's ball, but not to give the opponent a good shot. For players like Nowitzki, when he realizes that he can shoot, there is basically no possibility of blocking him.
In the next few minutes, the two sides started to score goals. Leon’s transfer was obviously effective. Cole’s playing released Arenas’ pressure, and Cole’s threat on the right three-point line was no less than that of Reid, and Cole should organize the Celtics. The Celtics obviously played a little more agilely in the offense, unlike Arenas’s simple and crude play.
At the same time, the Mavericks' offense is also very clear, repeatedly using fist1 tactics, using Nash's assault ability, Nowitzki's shooting ability after the pick-and-roll and Finley's containment ability, and constantly infiltrate the Celtics. Nash's light breakthrough did not tear apart the Celtics' defense, but he was able to come and go freely in their three-second zone, launching attacks from the Celtics' hinterland. Fortunately, the presence of Anderson and the two blocked shots made the Mavericks understand that the Celtics can't get in and out casually.
At the end of the first quarter, the battle between the two sides was 28:29. The Celtics were temporarily ahead by one point. The continuous scoring of Wang Zhizhi at the beginning of the game still made the Green Army a little cheaper~EbookFREE.me~ After that, the overall scene was on the scene. The Mavericks are slightly dominant. Walker scored 10 points in the first quarter and is the Celtics' most scoring player. Leon is now in the game. He must activate one of the Geminis in the first quarter and let him open so that the team's offense will have tonight. Basic guarantee.
In the first quarter, Leon’s two experimental tactics have achieved good results, but it seems that to truly become a basic part of the Celtics' tactics, there still seems to be a lot to go. Between the rest of the first and second quarters, Leon walked up to Arenas and asked: "How do you feel? After the first quarter, your offense was not very good."
In addition to having a good performance against Nash in the opening game, Arenas became mediocre in the face of Finley afterwards. It seems that he still lacks the experience in dealing with misplaced defense.
"I still have to beat him on the defensive end. I have a bit of difficulty." Arenas drank water and said, offensively, it was really difficult to face Finley and Arenas one-on-one on the defensive end, although he had already done it. Not bad, but Finley still scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. He was the Mavericks' best player in the first quarter.
Leon still had a move in his mind at this time, but after thinking about it, he decided to save it until the third quarter. In the second quarter, he decided to rely on Pierce to survive. To be continued. cc2907201 Baidu search "" to see the latest and most complete novels!
