Chapter 329: Storm (3)

In the impression of O'Brien and Vogel, Michael Reid was the silent guard who was ambushing three-pointers from the corner two years ago and then desperately blocking his opponent in defense. [.C...㈨.㈨.oMWww. hands-on starter] After all, in the team framework designed by Fox-Leon, Reid is indeed the role that is not easy to shine, acting as involvement and feint in offense, and in defense Dirty work to prevent arrows, compared with the offensive confident, wild Arenas, or the team boss Kaleidoscope Pierce, Reid is too low-key and too inconspicuous.
Although Reid had several three-point bursts in the regular season, other teams also had this kind of nerve knife. In certain games, the hand felt explosive, so Reid's performance still did not attract people's attention. In fact, since Siegfried served as the Celtics shooting coach, Michael Reid has never stopped honing his shooting skills.
This season, Reid can obviously feel that his shots are more arbitrary, especially long-range three-pointers, which can greatly reduce the interference caused by opponents' defense. This is inseparable from =novel=3.Siegfried's diverse training methods and Reid's hard practice are inseparable.
Although the shooting percentage in the regular season is not obvious, in the high-intensity games of the playoffs, the effects of years and months of efficient training began to appear. In the first two rounds of the game, Reed's average score per game was not high. , But the shooting percentage is quite amazing. It's just that the opponents in the first two rounds were not strong enough, Reid didn't have too many opportunities to perform, and did not attract the attention of O'Brien and Vogel.
The Pacers still focus on the three sharp knives of Garnett, Pierce and Arenas, especially after Reid’s substitute debut in the first half has no effect, Vogel believes that Reid is not worth investing too much. With more defensive energy, I hope Stephen Jackson will focus more on Pierce.
As a result, Reid used his knife-like three-pointer to make the Pacers feel the sting of a heart hit.
After requesting a timeout, O'Brien rearranged the team's defense. He asked the players to increase their defensive attention to the outside, especially to follow Reed personally, and not to give him a chance to catch the ball.
On the Celtics side, Leon Ming Pacers will strengthen their defense on the outside, but they still require players to increase their outside firepower.
"I think the opponent will definitely strengthen the defense on the outside, but this does not mean that we have to change our offensive strategy, pass, shoot, pass, shoot, without stopping your offensive pace. Remember, there is no way to avoid it. To solve the problem substantively, in the third quarter, the task I give you is to destroy them with long shots on the outside! There is no excuse, no retreat, and no second option, just to destroy them!" Leon rarely sees A tactical death order was given to the team during the timeout.
Leon has always been good at making tactical changes and adjustments, avoiding the reality and avoiding the virtual, attacking the enemy when he is unprepared, and playing beautiful targeted battles.
But in the battle tonight, Leon is like a stubborn general, insisting on attacking the strongest fortress of his opponent. Because of him, as long as this fortress is pulled out, then the next game will be smooth sailing, and if you bypass the fortress, even if you win, the confidence of the Pacers will still exist.
The Pacers' strongest fortress is the one-on-one defense on the outside line that they rely on for survival. In such a defense, it is difficult for the three-pointer to rely on open space and conduction to fully play.
Leon wants to let the Pacers players understand today, and let Larry Bird understand how fruitful he has made systematic shooting training for the team over the past three years.
………………
The game restarted. When the score was behind, the Pacers' offense was obviously lagging. Under the pressure of the score difference, the players tended to feel full. At this time, it is necessary for the superstar to stand up or make a fuss on the inside.
Jermaine O'Neal carried the burden again. He caught the ball from the left low post and ate Garnett. After Nei turned around, he turned and hit a jumper, which was a difficult goal.
"Jermaine O'Neal's jumper, a very crucial goal, stabilized the Pacers' situation and the score was further reduced. You can imagine how much pressure on the Pacers will be if this goal is not scored."
But Stockton’s voice just fell, the Celtics had already pushed the offense for half the time, Arenas faced Tinsley with a fake action and Crssvr, put Tinsley aside, and then stepped back. One step outside the three-point line and a direct three-point shot.
"Bold shot... the goal is..."
Stockton couldn't imagine Arenas actually used this way to shoot directly from this position. What is even more unimaginable is that the goal was actually scored. After the goal, Arenas raised his arms and then trot back to the defense. Halftime.
"Gilbert has always had this ability and entered his range after halftime. It's just that their coach has been controlling him, and it seems that Leon has let go of the restrictions on him." Cole knew well. Arenas' ability, when he was on the bench for Arenas, he watched Arenas train three-pointers like a lunatic.
This goal was suspected to have hit the Pacers’ morale. They wanted to find a point of weakness outside the three-point line. As a result, Steven Jackson missed a three-pointer. Kevin Garnett alone withstood the two Pacers inside, Pierce Grabbed a backcourt rebound-Pierce has completely become a feint point and insider's shield in this lineup. This is also Leon's improvement of this lineup, which directly leads to the Pacers' defensive compliance.
Before O'Brien or Vogel, the Pacers could not contain the Celtics' offense. Of course, the Celtics’ offense was supported by their fiery touch.
The Celtics launched a counterattack. Arenas chose to attack from the front this time. Tinsley grasped the direction of Arenas’ breakthrough and was not overtaken, but Reid circumvented from the inside and used the aid at 45 degrees. Nate's screen had a small chance, and Arenas passed the ball to Reid.
Reid catches the ball and jumps quickly and makes a quick shot. He hardly looks at the basket, everything depends on the feeling in his hands.
The ball is hollow into the net.
"An incredible three-pointer..." Stockton shouldn't have said it anymore.
But everything is not over. The Pacers struggled in the offense. Foster got the offensive rebound. Artest rushed inside to make a foul and scored two free throws.
Looking back, Garnett began to organize the offense. He held the ball in the high post. The Celtics ran a defensive offensive routine. Reed cut inward and Pierce acted as the blocker. The two quickly made a cross shift. , Reid suddenly crossed into the three-second zone ~EbookFREE.me~ and Pierce ran back beyond the 45-degree three-point line.
Garnett passed the ball to Pierce, which was a bad three-pointer opportunity, but Artest and Jackson both made up defenses, and inside Oscar also made up defenses. Suddenly, Reid, who crossed into the three-second zone, ran out of the corner of the three-point line. Pierce passed the ball to Reid, and Reid took the ball and took another three-pointer.
Reid doesn't even need to look at the trajectory of the ball and whether it enters the basket. After landing, he just ran back because his hand told him that the ball would not fall elsewhere.
"Huh!" The ball hollowed into the net again.
The North Shore Garden was in madness, and the players of the Pacers felt that they were like a boat in a storm, already shaking and unable to hold it.
When the wind is sunny, the sea is calm and beautiful, like a bath at home; and once the storm blows, the raging waves will destroy everything, will destroy confidence, will destroy faith.
The Pacers are a tough team, but in the face of such a situation, no matter how tough a player is, they will ask from the heart: Are we and our opponents on the same level? After all, it seems that the Celtics still haven't tried their best.
At this time, the Celtics in the lead called a timeout. They had stretched the difference to 13 points, but Leon decided to change.
He replaced Pierce with PJ-Brown, then replaced Arenas with Lagabe, and the death defense lineup finally appeared in the Eastern Conference Finals.
If you want to win, you must simply win and understand. Since you want to die, you must let your opponent die happy.
