Chapter 335: The Green Army's Countermeasures
"Damn, we've been targeted! I knew the Alliance only wanted to fight yellow-green, and we minions were pawns that could be sacrificed at any time!" Lunar Eclipse angrily kicked the inside of the closet, almost breaking the closet. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Bibby took the technical statistics from Larry Drew, looked at them carefully and said: "Don't be anxious, the league still needs to be imaged, they can't be too biased in blowing penalties, even if we lose this game, in the end, it's the strength of the team that has to compete." ”
Mike Bibby is certainly qualified to say this, because the reason why the Kings and Lakers played Game 7 in '02 was largely due to the referees.
Although many Kings have said that the gorgeous Kings team was hacked by the referee that year, objectively speaking, including Tim Donathy, who was arrested for a gambling incident in July last year, only said that in the 02 Western Finals, all the referees' blows were to drag the game to G7, and then let the better team advance.
In fact, if you just look at the penalties, the Kings only suffered a loss in Game 6, but Game 5 is basically recognized that the league hacked the Lakers, and O'Neal only got 1 free throw in 18 shots, which is no problem, it is definitely a joke. You know, Divac made 10 free throws in 10 shots!
Let's talk about the number of free throws: G1, the Kings are behind the Lakers 17:22, the G2 Kings are 38:25 ahead of the Lakers, the G3 Kings are 35:15 far better than the Lakers, the G4 Kings are basically equal to the Lakers at 26:27, the G5 Kings are far behind the Lakers at 33:22, the G6 Kings are far behind the Lakers at 25:40, and the G7 Kings are basically equal to the Lakers at 30:33.
Let's talk about the number of fouls: The Lakers averaged 23.6 fouls per game in the playoffs that year, and 25.6 per game when they played the Kings, which was the most fouls per game for the Lakers that year.
The Kings' opponent Mavericks committed one fewer foul in the last round than they did in the first round, at 24.
The Kings averaged 23.8 fouls per game, 24.7 against the Lakers, and only more fouls than the Spurs, who had twin towers on the inside, in the Lakers' playoff games that year.
Among the Lakers' opponents, the Trail Blazers averaged more than seven fouls per game than in the regular season, and the Spurs, who had twin towers on the inside, also had two more fouls than in the previous round.
When the data are listed, it is not difficult to see that the Lakers cannot be said to have taken advantage of the whistle in the entire series, and the league has at most blown a balance whistle.
In terms of the strength of the two teams alone, the performance of the Kings and Lakers at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is not comparable, and they are roughly equal.
But the OK duo, including Holly, are much better than the Kings' Webb Peja and others in key moments, and Adelman might have had turned out completely differently if he had given a little more trust to future "Elvis" Gerard Wallace in the most crucial games.
Mike Bibby didn't expect to get another chance to qualify for the Finals in his first season after being traded, and this time he definitely won't let the opportunity slip through his way again.
As the most experienced playoff veteran in the locker room besides Fan Maniac, Bibby told every Hawks player with a calm smile: "Don't worry about the referee's whistle, that's not something we can control, all we can do is to do our best in every game and every ball." ”
Bibby, like Embarrassment, usually doesn't talk much, and likes to prove everything with practical actions on the field.
When it comes to critical moments, it is often the Eagles' first attack option, and in this regard, the current Erniu and Embarrassing Sen are not as good as this big-hearted shooter.
Don't look at Rondo scored 15 points in the first half and exploded Bibby on the defensive end, but Bibby was also not weak on the offensive end, shooting 3 of 4 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 12 points, which can be said to have completed the mutual explosion with Rondo.
Low-key and strong, resolute and calm, this is Mike Bibby, the White Devil is no longer as brave as he used to be after being seriously injured, but once it comes to the decisive moment, the Eagles will instinctively choose to believe in this powerful man of the league.
Woodson didn't join the players' circle in the first place, and he whispered to Larry Drew at the door of the locker room: "When I first traded Bibby, I was actually worried. ”
Drew nodded, "Yes, so do I." He was seriously injured, but he was the highest paid in the team, and it is doubtful whether he can play. And, after he joined, our regular season record win percentage dropped. ”
Woodson laughed: "The poor record in the last two months of the regular season is that I have given up selectively, which cannot be blamed on MB, but in the playoffs, those doubts are gone, and he is indeed the No. 1 position we need the most." ”
On the Hawks' side, Bibby instilled the belief that he must win, and on the Celtics side, Pierce, as the leader of the team, also stood up and expressed his attitude: "We are not here to play, as a Celtic, we are born to be enemies of the world. Knocking down and defeating the opponent is our only belief. ”
Chicken soup is chicken soup, and in the crucial third quarter, after the Hawks sacrifice the Hawks' raiding lineup, whether the Celtics can stop it is the most troublesome existence.
Don't look at the Celtics' confidence before the game, in fact, they are not sure to stop the wave of the Hawks.
Thibodeau once suggested to Doug Rivers: "Instead of passively following the Eagles, we should take the initiative to change formations, or even learn like the Eagles to improve the conversion speed!"
He then nodded and said, "Tell me more about it!"
"It's very simple, you only need one substitution to do it, take Kendrick off the field, put KG in the number five position, put Leon Bowie in the number four position, and if the speed is not fast enough, change Posey to the number four position. If we wanted to strengthen our defence, we brought Ray off and put Toni [Allen] in the No. 2 position. Thibodeau suggested.
This is also the approach he proposed after watching the tape repeatedly, Perkins must stay off the court, and as long as he is there, the Celtics will never want to catch up with the speed of the Hawks. It's the same with big babies, and so is PJ Brown.
That being the case, Leon Bowie has become the most reliable choice. Of course, in pursuit of extreme speed, putting Posey in the number four position is also a crazy experiment.
After weighing it repeatedly, it was decided that at the critical moment, the choice of using Bao Wei to reach the No. 4 position would only lose if it remained unchanged, and at this time, he must have the courage to fight to the death.
The Green Army came up with their own countermeasures, and at the same time, in the referee's locker room, an internal meeting began from the moment the bald referee, Joseph Joy Crawford, hung up.
"It's been news from the headquarters, happy with our performance in the first half, and hopefully we'll continue to play at the same level in the second half!" said Crawford, touching his head.
The assistant coach on the side said, "So, do you still want the Celtics to win?"
Crawford laughed: "Of course there are tendencies, but the final outcome of the game is left to the two teams to decide. The league definitely hopes that the game will be played to G7, but whether it can be done depends on God's arrangement. ”
At halftime, the second half of the game between the two teams officially began.
