Chapter 212: Please blow him up

The Celtics, who lost the first game, finally came out of the relaxed atmosphere of the first round. After the game, there was silence in the dressing room. It was not too painful, because it was only the first game and the series had just begun. The players are not desperate yet. But that relaxed and pleasant atmosphere is absolutely gone without a trace.
Everyone quietly cleaned themselves up in the small away locker room. Pierce accepted an interview with reporters. In addition, most of the Celtic players refused. Leon participated in the post-match press conference. He was at the press conference. As always, the ground was expressionless and a little indifferent, but his face sank after returning to the locker room.
"Everyone, gather at the training hall at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. Detroit is not a fun place, I hope everyone has a good rest in the evening." Leon did not criticize anyone, nor did he make a summary. He knew it would be useless to say more at this kind of moment. . To wait until tomorrow's training, he will make improvements to the team's problems and hope to make progress in the next game.
In addition to mental relaxation and poor state caused by prolonged rest, the Celtics also have some tactical problems. After returning to the hotel, Leon stayed in his room to watch the video of the game after dinner. For Leon, this was the most unbearable part of his work. It was obviously a losing game, but he had to repeat it again and again. Looking back, the worse you lose, the more you look back, which is undoubtedly a torture for those who are competitive.
However, such a review can undoubtedly find many problems. First of all, the Celtics cannot solve the point of Ben Wallace. This is the key to the Celtics' first loss. Ben Wallace only scored 6 points in the game, but grabbed 17 rebounds, sent 5 blocks, and 3 steals. This basically blocked the Celtics' perimeter breakthrough and played in the Celtics. The signature counterattack caused a lot of trouble.
This made Leon a headache. In the regular season and the Pistons, Wallace was a trouble for the Celtics. Although his height was only about 6-7 and his explosive head was only 6-9, he played center. , Has no talent on offense and is a missed player. But he has excellent physical fitness, bounce, great strength, excellent assist in blocking shots, fast speed, large defensive area, and can keep up with the footsteps of many defenders and forwards.
From a defensive point of view, Ben Wallace’s biggest shortcoming is that his single defense ability is limited by his height and bottom plate, and he cannot deal with those heavy low tanks. The problem is that the Celtics just don’t have a low attacker, so they are completely Can't catch Wallace's pass. On the contrary, Wallace's defensive strengths are all based on the Celtics' tactical characteristics. Fast movement and strong defense have caused the Celtics' fast and short pass to meet a lot of trouble.
Leon has thought about repeating the old tricks and asking Arenas to foul Ben Wallace, but this kind of strategy is difficult to work on the road, and the coaches are very prepared for games of this level in the playoffs. The main players foul off the court early are often accidental, and it is quite difficult to deliberately achieve this effect.
Moreover, as the core of the Pistons' defense, Wallace has done quite well in foul control. Arenas is in a bird-like state. Maybe he will fail to commit a foul and get instead.
Leon watched the video of the game repeatedly, and then turned over the previous regular season video to learn the new. The Chinese RAAS had a strong sense of defense in the game. Pierce, who was in excellent form in the first round, was interfered with a jumper in the opening. Then he was fouled and scored only two points in the first quarter and scored 17 points. In the regular season wins, the Celtics used three-pointers to penetrate the Pistons' defense. It seems that the Celtics must open their three-pointers.
But Leon does not think that in the playoffs, it is a good thing to pin the hopes of winning on three-pointers. He must find another key breakthrough point to deal with Ben Wallace as the core. The Pistons line of defense is fine.
Leon couldn't help but shift his attention to the position of the Detroit Pistons power forward. Their starting lineup was Cliff Robinson. This old churros, who is 36 years old this year, can still shine in the starting position. The style of play is not unrelated. When muscle power forwards were lined up in the 90s, he opened up the role of three-pointer with a forward vision. Relying on this style of play that is not intense, he has always established a foothold in the league. According to his current state, he can hit 40 years old.
However, in the Pistons' lineup system, he is indeed the weakest one. Leon is bound to put a little effort on him. By the way, he also needs to let Ben Wallace stay on the bench longer.
……………………
Early the next morning, all the Celtics players arrived at the training hall on time. Failure is sometimes the best motivation. A solid defeat let the Celtics players know, regardless of the first round. Whatever the process, it has become a thing of the past. Now the two teams are standing at the same starting line and the Pistons are already one step ahead.
Before the start of training, Leon asked the members of the team to watch the video clips of the last game in the video room. Most of them were the rounds in which the team failed to attack, how to make mistakes, how to be disturbed, and how to foul. Every ball is like a needle prick, making Celtics players feel uncomfortable.
"First of all, I want to ask you where did your three-pointers go. I made 4 of 18 shots. I can change the way the team plays, but I can't help you throw the three-pointers into the basket. If not Solve the problem of your shooting, everything else is in vain.
Leon first mentioned the problem of shooting. After watching the video, the whole team began to practice shooting for the whole morning.
Siegfried corrects every player’s shooting action like a primary school student. Shooting is a technique that needs constant practice and constant consolidation. The so-called boxing is not leaving the hand and the mouth is not leaving, and the best shooter must be trained continuously to obtain Stable muscle memory and good shooting sensation. During the rest period, everyone slackens.
In the afternoon, the whole team conducted tactical exercises, mainly training how to handle the ball more efficiently and concisely in a quick counterattack, as well as a small-scale rotation strategy on the defensive end. After the training, Leon alone met Antoine Walker for dinner in the hotel’s cafeteria.
Walker's recent days are not good or sad. Many things have happened this season. Firstly, Walker's position as the number one star in the team has been replaced by Pierce. Secondly, as Leon continues to make arrangements to fight for next season. To Kevin Garnett, Walker could feel that his life in Boston was one day and one day away. Therefore, he is also a little lack of energy and a negative sense of sabotage. Compared with the star-studded Pierce in the first round, Walker averaged only 19 points per game. Although he is still the second scorer in the team, he has already competed with Pierce in terms of tactics. Not a level anymore.
Walker also thought about resisting. After all, he is the highest paid person on the team. However, in the face of the strong Fox Leon and his rapid increase in the prestige of the team after the All-Star Game, Walker discovered that the so-called contradictions with Leon Angie, after all, wear a pair of pants with Leon, because they are both Auerbach’s disciples.
Walker, who has an unruly personality, doesn't bother to fight for anything. Anyway, with assets of more than 100 million in hand, Leon has never deliberately lowered his tactical position to prevent him from taking action. He has no intention to fight, the most fundamental Yes, he was a little afraid of this coach in his heart. From the first day he became the head coach and started the training session, Walker was worried that one day he would smash his jaw with a fist.
But Walker was not surprised when Leon invited him to dinner. Anyway, Leon would find one or two players to eat and chat with him on the game day, and convey his requirements for the players by the way. So Walker sat down and said straightforwardly: "Come on, coach, what do you want me to do next game? Throw the three-pointer in, or defend it well?"
Walker said, while he started to eat the turkey salad on his plate, Leon dialed an orange and said, "I want you to blow Cliff Robinson."
Walker smiled and said: "Coach, you know, in the NBA, you don't want to hit anyone who can hit someone. Robinson is an old fritters, and it's not easy to deal with him."
Walker still has a slight dissatisfaction with Leon in his heart~EbookFREE.me~ After all, after he came, he was suppressed everywhere, and eventually he might have to leave. Now it’s playing the playoffs. If you want to contribute yourself, come. He was unwilling to ask him to blow anyone up.
"So, so are you willing to be blown up by Robinson like last year?" Leon put the oranges into his mouth and said vaguely. The two teams met in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year. Also in the first game, Cliff Robinson scored 30 points and hit six three-pointers, completely blasting the opposing Walker and helping the Pistons win easily.
Hearing this, Walker obviously evoked bad memories. He said: "But in the end we won, and we won the series! 4:1, 4:1!"
"But you let Cliff Robinson average 15 points and 10 blocks per game in 5 games. Do you know how many of them were given to you? And even if you don’t have a single block, you have worse rebounds. Pierce. Do you know how old he is? 36. What about you? 26. He is older than me." Leon said to Walker in a serious tone, wiped his mouth and left. He only ate one. orange.
"I will blow him up, blow him up every minute! Peel him like an orange, and then unload eight pieces!" Walker shouted at Leon, ignoring the strange gazes of other teammates. They didn't know Yixiang Le What happened to the cheerful Walker. (To be continued.)
