Chapter 303: When the Formation Is Broken, the Strongest Brain (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes)
On the evening of the 3rd, the North Shore Garden Arena.
The Celtics, who were pushed to the edge of the cliff by the Raptors, fought with their backs tonight.
In the NBA, even if you count the future, there has never been a team that has completed a comeback from 0-3 down.
Therefore, before the start of this game, and without even being reminded by Auerbach, the Celtics players knew that losing the G3 game was equivalent to losing the entire series.
Unlike the previous two games, Davis took the initiative to adjust the Raptors' starting lineup tonight.
Nash is back in the starting lineup, while Maddy is back on the bench.
Before the game, on the Celtics' bench, when they noticed that the Raptors had changed their starting lineup, this time, even if Millercar wanted to break his head, he ...... for a while
He didn't understand why Davis had arranged it that way.
Think about what John would have done?
But I can't figure it out no matter how I think about it, how can I break it?
On the court, after the players of both teams warmed up, in the center of the field, Duncan and Big Ben jumped to start the game.
In the first two battles, Da Ben, who was beaten bald by Duncan, was facing Duncan, a giant, and at this moment, he couldn't give full play to his advantage in deterrence.
Duncan calmly jumped the first attack for the Celtics.
Marbury dribbled the ball "steadily" across the half court amid the cheers of the fans in attendance.
Because the Celtics' home floor was changed in a hurry this time, even the Celtics' own players couldn't do it, and they were completely familiar with the location of those "honor floors".
So, it's not so much that Marbury's dribbling is solid, it's that he's afraid of being pitted by his own floor.
In order to defeat the Raptors, Auerbach racked his brains in this round of Eastern Conference finals.
In a desperate situation, the "Cardinal" even opened the big move of the Seven Wounds Fist.
However, while there is no guarantee that the Celtics' players will not be pitted by their own floor, compared to the Raptors, who rely more on outside play......
The Celtics, who own Duncan, can indeed eliminate this environmental impact to some extent by holding it high.
Before the game, Su Feng found out as early as the warm-up.......
The Celtic mines were buried in a very chicken thief's place.
Because the penalty areas on both sides of the pitch happen to be areas without "mines".
The Celtics hit the first offense, and after Marbury passed the ball to Bowen on the wing, the latter hoisted the ball straight inside.
And with Duncan's unpretentious combination punches, as in the previous two fights, Big Ben still didn't have any temper with this kind of attack by the young Duncan.
0 to 2.
Because the Nets were tightened up tonight, the Raptors couldn't quickly serve the baseline ball at the first time after Duncan scored this ball.
At this time, Carl was even more puzzled why Davis would send Nash to the starting lineup.
Because in Karl's opinion......
If he can't play fast break, Nash's role on the court is unlikely to be as big as Maddy's.
Soon, however, Carl would learn why Davis did what he did.
The Raptors' first attack, Su Feng, who failed to get the ball in the low post for the first time, directly borrowed the cover of Big Ben and slipped from the bottom line to the high position.
His run managed to mess up the Celtics' defensive positioning.
And at the moment when Marbury's attention was also attracted by Su Feng, Nash, who had been shooting the ball in place in the "safe area", suddenly pulled onions on dry ground and completed a quick shot.
Hmmm——!
3 to 2.
Unlike in the past, when he had to take on the responsibility of organizing the team, Nash, who started the game, was given only one directive tonight.
That is, anytime, anywhere.
As long as Nash thinks he can shoot, he can fire at will.
Because the Celtics have a lot of minefields on the floor at home, players who are good at breaking and need to rely on one-handed dribbling to complete the offense will suffer greatly.
Therefore, under Su Feng's hints, Davis quickly found the right way to deal with it.
That is, in the case of reducing singles, increasing the running of players without the ball.
In addition, the player with the ball takes a more simple and brutal approach to the offense during the game.
In this way, the impact of the Celtics' "honor floor" on the Raptors will be very limited.
Of course, as the godfather of a generation of basketball, Davis's arrangement is more than that.
On the court, after the Celtics' second offense also scored, it was the Raptors' turn to attack.
And this time, when Carter grabbed the opportunity to shoot with the help of cover on the flank, this UFO, like Nash just now, also decisively fired quickly on the outside.
Wow——!
And at the moment when Carter shot, Big Ben, Jordan, and Su Feng had already inserted themselves into the Celtics' penalty area.
Twisting and loosening the basket will indeed cause the trajectory of the rebound to change to a certain extent, but it is ......
Again, that's the problem.
In a short period of time, even Celtic's own players will not be able to fully grasp this change in trajectory.
Therefore, the second of Davis's set-up tonight is to make the Raptors players with three-point shooting ability use the three-point shot as the team's first offensive option.
Under normal circumstances, in order to prevent the opponent from counterattacking, in previous games, although the Raptors will have someone make some unreasonable three-point shots, but most of the time, their three-point shots are not as exaggerated as in the future.
But tonight was different.
Even if the Raptors' three-point shot is unscientific tonight, they don't have to worry about being directly counterattacked by the opponent.
Because in the case of throwing, just tonight against the Nets, the Raptors can't serve the baseline ball quickly, and the Celtics can't serve the baseline ball quickly either.
Coupled with the restrictions on the floor, it is impossible for the Celtics to force a fast break tonight.
As for not making it?
So what does it matter?
On the court, Su Feng, who saw the basketball falling in the direction of his rush, directly took the ball into his arms with one hand in the air.
And then, Su Feng, who grabbed the rebound, threw the ball to the outside, and Nash completed the shot again outside the three-point line.
Hmmm——!
6 to 4.
First of all, in the case of no shooting, the Raptors can completely snatch the opportunity to attack the second offense by actively rushing.
Because even if the Celtics loosen the basket, the trajectory of the three-point shot is different from the mid-range shot, and it will only be more difficult to grab.
Secondly, the three-point shot is definitely more than the two-point shot in terms of cost performance.
Therefore, playing in the specific environment of the Celtics' home court tonight, in Su Feng's opinion, it is simply not too suitable for the Raptors to play shooting and grabbing tactics.
Anyway, if it's accurate, take the opponent away in waves.
And if it's really like a certain team in the future, it's ......
Bad life!
On the Celtics' bench, when noticing the resolute attitude of the Raptors players when they shoot three-pointers......
Auerbach suddenly had a feeling that times had changed.
yes, it's different now......
In the past, people didn't like to shoot threes.
Therefore, these details that are not paid attention to can make or break the game.
But now, with the weight of the three-point shot getting higher and higher in modern basketball, the shackles that the Celtics created for the Raptors tonight have in turn created the objective conditions for the Raptors to find another way.
"Miller, as much as I don't like three-point shooting, you're going to have to work a little bit harder on three-point tactics this summer."
At this moment, Auerbach said while looking at the dome of the North Shore Garden Arena while patting his disciple on the shoulder.
Hearing this, while nodding, Carl couldn't help but look at the "fat man" next door.
John, is that why you've been able to tune this Raptors so well?
Pander to......
Yawn ——!
On the Raptors' bench, Davis, who felt like someone was always talking about him behind him, suddenly sneezed.
I don't know why, Davis has been feeling bad about himself lately.
And on the court, in the case that the Celtics' positional battle failed to chisel the Raptors, the Raptors' side, that unreasonable three-point shot......
Not again!
Tonight, Su Feng, who changed the inside hand-to-hand combat to the outside drag racing, after receiving Nash's pass, he didn't care if there was anyone in front of him, anyway......
Raise your hand and snipe first!
Hmmm——!
Then, Su Feng, who was fated to the Nets, fell into the net with this three-point hollow.
9 to 4.
In front of the TV, for fans who are tired of watching defensive battles, although the Raptors have not yet performed their best air catch tonight, but don't say it, this kind of three-point shooting looks quite enjoyable.
At the scene, Celtics fans had a feeling that the Raptors players were deliberately showing off their skills.
In this day and age, three-point littering tactics like this are rare.
On the commentary seat, the commentators of major TV stations in North America didn't know how to explain the game for a while.
On the field, the game continues.
Because the Raptors were very accurate in their three-point shooting tonight, the pressure on the shoulders of the Celtics players on both offensive and defensive ends became more invisibly.
In Su Feng's previous life, the warrior's Xia Ji Ba often took away the opponent in waves, because of the continuous three-point shots, it was easy to directly defeat the opponent psychologically.
A lot of the time, the Warriors' opponents are not so much defeated by the Warriors' three-pointers as they are defeated by their own messes.
And despite the Celtics' well-trained team, they will also panic in the face of the Raptors' nearly 15-year-old style of play.
After all......
Players are people too.
In the first quarter of the game, the Raptors, who have been full of confidence recently, in addition to a certain North Carolina junior and North Carolina senior brother, even the old Curry, who came off the bench for Carter in the second half of the first quarter of the game, all pitched.
No, although Carter was coached by Curry Sr. last summer, he obviously hasn't practiced home with a quick shot like this after catching the ball.
Well, like Nash, it's very accurate.
Because usually in order to snatch meat from the mouths of the big brothers, the ghost knows how much Nash cherishes the opportunity to fire infinitely like tonight.
In the first quarter of the game, the Raptors took a full 18 shots from beyond the three-point line.
Among them, Su Feng alone threw off 8 times.
You know, even in the future, this statistic is absolutely insane.
They fired infinitely against HC rules and hit nine three-pointers in the first quarter, directly destroying Auerbach's idea of relying on home court "decoration" to win two cities in a row.
In the second quarter of the game, Jordan, who sat back on the bench, couldn't help but think of the picture when the Bulls were eliminated by the 76ers.
In that game, if Jordan remembers correctly, Su Feng made a full 20 three-point shots.
For many old-school NBA players, the three-point shot is a cowardly option in their eyes.
However, this season, after following the Raptors all the way, Jordan found that sometimes players choose to shoot three-pointers on the court, but it takes more courage than shooting.
Looking at the group of teammates on the court who were like torches, one shot more resolutely than the other, Jordan knew very well that a new era was ......
It's already quietly coming.
In the second quarter of the game, the Raptors' three-point shooting was limited to a certain extent when the Celtics' defense was frantically expanding.
In this era of HC rules and tough defense, if it weren't for the Raptors' inappropriateness in the first quarter and the Celtics being disrupted, the three-point shot would not be as easy to shoot as it would be in the future.
However, because the Celtics' defense line has expanded wildly, their interior line has naturally become empty.
Outcome......
Su Feng bypassed the divine operation of the mine again and again, and directly stunned Auerbach and Millerkar on the sidelines.
In order to stop Su Feng's instantaneous sniping, in the second quarter of the game, Bowen had to choose to be intimately entangled with Su Feng.
However, under this kind of defense, Su Feng didn't mention how easy it was to get the opportunity to break through easily.
And just when Bowen followed behind Su Feng every time, praying that Su Feng would step on the thunder next......
Bowen was surprised to find that every time Su Feng could use his strange snake-like breakthrough to bypass the "honor floor" of those Celtics' home stadiums.
This......
Is this the strength of the regular season MVP?
The Bowen people are stupid.
Especially once, after Su Feng broke through the corner and scored a layup, this thing actually pointed to a floor to remind himself that he had accidentally stepped on a "landmine" just now......
Bowen only reacted that the floor didn't even know it was a "mine".
On the Celtics' bench, Auerbach knew he was cocooning.
As the saying goes, the stadium environment is relative.
Tonight, the Celtics, who were stunned by the Raptors, not only did not play their home-court advantage, but in turn, they were dominated by the Raptors and took the upper hand.
But then again.
How could the great "cardinal" have thought that Su Feng would be such a thin man?
To be reasonable, you can keep so many "pitfalls" in mind after only stepping on the pitch once, and at the same time avoid these "pitfalls" in the exciting game, which is ......
Is it really something that humans can do?
If the NBA also has the strongest brain, then there is no doubt that Auerbach is definitely willing to call Su Feng the strongest.
"Is there nothing else in this kid's head besides basketball?" On the sidelines, looking at Su Feng, who was constantly voice-controlling his teammates on the field to avoid "mines", Auerbach thought to himself with emotion.
