Coming out of Kobe's house, Li Du finally realized that the Celtics deserve to be the fateful opponents of the Lakers, and they are really strong! In today's game, the Celtics won against the Pistons, leveling the total score of the two teams at 2-1, and it looked like they could win the entire series. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Li Du would prefer that the Celtics and Pistons also play seven games, so that the Lakers can win more rest time and analyze their opponents better. If the two teams really play the seventh game, there will be no more reservations between the two sides, all the changes, all the tricks will have to be used!

Two days later, in the Lakers' video analysis room, the entire Lakers team and coaching staff watched Game 4 of the Celtics vs. Pistons together.

This game was played on the home court of the Pistons, and in the face of the crazy counterattack of all Pistons members, the Celtics played very badly, and the whole game was suppressed by the Pistons, and they could not enter their own rhythm of the game, and in the end, the Celtics lost to the Pistons with a score of 75-94.

The Celtics weren't normal today, with no one scoring above 20, and Pierce and Garnett each scored 16 points, which is already a low score for them. Ray Allen scored 11 points, but most of his points came from free throws, and he shot very low today, 2-of-8 shooting, and 0-of-3 three-pointers, completely out of shape!

But even so, Li Du still saw the terrible thing about Pierce, his offensive style of exerting his body shape and footwork to the extreme was very effective, and today it was just that he didn't shoot accurately, not the Pistons' defense against him, otherwise the Celtics wouldn't have lost so much.

Since the beginning of the game between the two teams, Li Du has been thinking about how to defend Pierce if he is defending himself? Today's Pistons' strategy is to contain Pierce, and the Pistons' style of play is very aggressive, on both the offensive and defensive ends, no matter who is against Pierce, they will give him a lot of physical contact, even some small movements.

At this time, the teammates around Pierce will have the opportunity to shoot in the open position, and Pierce can indeed accurately pass the ball to his teammates, but unfortunately, the Pistons let go of Rondo! This outside shooting ability is not as good as that of a point guard of many interior players.

Li Du has always thought that Rondo's style of play is too biased, his scoring mainly relies on breakthroughs, and he doesn't like to score, but likes assists, I heard that in one game, Rondo even brushed up on 19 assists in a single game.

Rondo plays next to the Big Three, most of the time he doesn't need him to complete the shot, he just needs to be able to organize and pass the ball well, this style of play is very correct for him now, but when the Big Three are not in the state and need him to shoot from the long range, the shortcomings of his style of play are revealed.

Just like today, if the Pistons were playing the Lakers, they would never dare to wrap up Kobe. As long as there is a bag of clips, Kobe Bryant can immediately divide the ball, the Lakers have terrible pitchers like Li Du on the outside, Fisher, Odom, and Gasol's shooting ability is also very good, the only bad is Bynum, but Bynum is a center, he doesn't have to stand on the outside.

Rondo's shooting ability is extremely poor, so the Pistons can rest assured that they can wrap up Pierce. If Rondo also has a stable mid-to-long range shooting ability, the Pistons will never dare to easily trap Pierce! So Li Du has always believed that if the Celtics have any weaknesses on the offensive end, it is that Rondo's mid-to-long-range shooting ability is too poor.

After the game between the two teams, the aggregate score became a 2-2 draw, and the two sides returned to the same running line. This is also good news for the Lakers, no matter who wins in the end, the Lakers can get several days of rest, and the Zen master can also analyze more information about the two teams, so as to lay out targeted tactics.

Li Du thought it was very good, but as soon as the competition was over, the Zen master immediately asked, "What do you think?" How do we deal with the Celtics in the Finals? Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, you mainly think about what to do on the offensive end. Lee, you think about how to limit the Celtics on the defensive end. ”

"Yes, Coach!" Li Du answered, and then asked weakly, "That...... Coach, do you think our opponent in the Finals must be the Celtics? The pistons don't have a chance at all? ”

The Zen master looked at Li Du, and then at the other members of the Lakers, except for Kobe, Fisher and other veteran players, everyone else also looked puzzled, so the Zen master explained to them: "Originally, I wasn't sure who would win between the Pistons and the Celtics, but through today's game, I know that if there are no accidents, the Celtics will win!" ”

"As for the reason, it's actually quite simple." The Zen master smiled mysteriously before he said, "Don't you think it's strange that the Celts lost today, why am I sure they won?" ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, the Zen master said: "Because today is the worst game played by the Celtics, all the players are not in shape, and the Pistons still have no way to deal with the Big Three in this situation!" They have no other tricks other than to strengthen physical contact and brutally aggressive offense and defense. Today, the Celtics lost in their own hands, and it has little to do with the Pistons' defense! But you must know that this situation will only happen once in the whole season, and in the next game, the Celtics will inevitably find their form, and the Pistons will be finished! ”

After explaining to everyone, the Zen master clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the truth is like this, what we have to think about now is how to deal with the Celtics and win the championship!" Everybody go back and think about it, and let me know what you think when the next game is over. Disband! ”

Zen Guru has probably the most autonomous coaching style in the NBA, and under him, there are many situations that need to be considered before he can steer you in the right direction. Moreover, this old man, who has an understanding of Buddhism, also takes the players to meditate from time to time, saying that it is to improve the players' own mental state. Li Du also meditated with him a few times, but in Li Du's opinion, this thing is just playing, and it is not much use for actual combat power.

What Li Du admires is that the Zen master allows them to think independently, then practice independently, and then guide the players in this practice. Li Du has gone from being an amateur basketball player to now being able to take charge in the NBA, in addition to Kobe's teachings, they are also inseparable from the teachings of Zen masters.

The question of how to defend the Celtics, Li Du has been thinking about Pierce's offensive style since watching Pierce at Kobe's house a few days ago, but his method is the same as what the Pistons did today, that is, to take advantage of Rondo's lack of mid-range shooting ability to contain Pierce!

However, since the Zen master said that the piston can't do this, Li Du has to think about it carefully, and he is only one step away from the championship, and he doesn't want to make any mistakes at this time!
