Chapter 868: Mess With Me
What is an "ice cream belt"? The so-called "ice cream patch" is the "floor trap".
That is to say, in these specific areas and corners, if you dribble, the basketball will not have enough rebound, or even not be able to bounce at all. And this is also the usual method of the Green Shirts before the 21st century. Throughout their entire "Eight Consecutive Hegemony" era to the "Bird Era". This "little trick of victory" founded by the "Cardinal" Auerbach has always been criticized by people.
However, the Green Army itself is happy to do it.
And this "ice cream zone" is still not fixed, which means that you remember the location of this one, and the next one may not be the same. Why? Because the floor of the NBA game is re-spliced piece by piece before the game, if you go to the scene to see the game, and go early, you can see the scene of the staff installing the floor of the home game.
After all, the gymnasium is not a gymnasium for the basketball team alone, and there are other activities that you usually have to do.
So the NBA's game venues and training venues have always been separated, take the Los Angeles Lakers as an example, their home game is the Staples Center, but the training venue is the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo (not the Toyota Center of the Rockets, two more words). Boston, of course, is no different.
In this way, it is possible to explain why the "Ice Cream Belt" is different for every race.
Because many places on the floor can be combined and spliced, as long as you have a heart, you can definitely have a variety of patterns.
In order to ensure the legendary record and absolute victory of the Green Army, "Cardinal" Auerbach often arranged these small means in the home stadium of these important games. The "floor trap" is just one of them. He just called the staff, just for the second "little trick", "basket trap". At halftime, you can do some "tricks" by checking the hoop or simply changing the various reasons of the net. For example, the tightness of the basket, the left and right tilt angle of the basket, and so on. The difference in tightness will cause a lot of balls that could have bounced into the basket to collapse directly, and then the low rebounds will decrease and the long rebounds will increase. The same is true for the different angles of the left and right tilt of the basket, not to mention reducing the shooting rate, which also has a certain impact on the rebound of the rebound.
And that's not all...... The camera pans to the visiting locker room at Boston Garden Square, and you'll notice that it's not the same place as before. If you didn't give you an air conditioner before, then tonight is - suddenly turn your air conditioner to the coldest.
It's all in vain to make your previous warm-up, and it will take a little time to get back to your best game condition.
It seems nonsensical, but it is all real things, the things that countless people complained about in that era, and now Tang Qian has finally experienced it himself. This, Kinima's cold !! Suddenly, I sweated profusely, and I couldn't stand it after staying for a long time!!
In fact, not to mention the era when the system was not very standardized, in the 21st century, this kind of thing often occurs.
For example, the Spurs are one of the "tricks".
The famous air conditioner failure incident of that year directly made James so hot that his physical strength was quickly overdrawn, and then he had cramps.
Not only that, but there were also cases of poisonous snakes appearing in the visiting team's locker room, which scared many people on the Trail Blazers. Of course, the Spurs claimed afterwards that it was an "accident" and not a human factor.
You think that's weird enough? No, no, no, there are even more bizarre, the time is 2009 and 2011, and there have been two times when the Kings have visited the home of the Spurs, and they have all appeared in the arena...... Bat!!! Yes, you read that right, it's bats!!
In addition, there are flies flying in the away team's locker room, and there is no hot water in the away team's locker room, but this is all pediatrics, at least compared to the above, it is drizzle at all.
"Cardinal" is an honorific title for Bostonians, but Auerbach is outside, but there is a not-so-nice name, the name is "Red Head". It has the same meaning as the famous American word "red neck".
Substitute George. Li couldn't help but sneeze and said, "These damn Bostonians, this air conditioner is too much."
"It's their usual method." Warriors head coach Alex. "Whenever it comes to a big game, they do it to get the best chance of winning," Hannum said. In the finals that year, I saw a lot. ”
"That's too much! What if my body is cold and I get hurt later? "Nate. Thurmond complained loudly, but only in exchange for Alex. Hannam's words: "No one cares about the loser, and only when he wins can he have the right to complain, and only then will someone be willing to listen." ”
"Then let's be the winners." Tang Qian stood up in his seat and said, "This little trick won't hinder us. ”
"On the basketball court, the real king doesn't want to do that."
"But, Wilt, do you really think we can win? Boston has always been a big winner in the league. It was also the rookie Gary who only joined the Warriors this year. Hill asked, a little uncertain. Tang Qian looked at him, and then looked at the Warriors players in the entire locker room and said, "In a word, if you win, you will have money, and if you lose, there will be nothing." ”
"Gary, will you have trouble with money?" Tang Qian asked.
Hearing the word "money", Gary. Hilton swept away his previous uncertainty and replied loudly, "Of course not!" Whoever robs me of money is my worst enemy! I don't have a ghost until I knock out his teeth! ”
"What about you? Will you have trouble with money? Tang Qian nodded, and then asked the rest of the people.
The answer that got was naturally and the previous Gary. Hill, much the same.
"Well, I'll say the same thing." Tang Qian said: "If you want money, kill the opponent and destroy Boston!" ”
But it turned out that Tang Qian still underestimated the "Boston" people, because as soon as the third quarter came up, the opponent began to have an advantage. And it's the kind of "sudden" advantage. It was like an instant, the San Francisco Warriors wouldn't be playing, and all kinds of mistakes kept coming.
For example, several consecutive dribbling mistakes, being directly stolen by the opponent and breaking fast, it is extremely weird, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit abnormal. Even if it's a player in the 60s, it's a professional player, how can it be possible to make consecutive mistakes on the dribble?
Or is it the inexplicability of the mistake?
Even if it was a strict palm-down rule, it wouldn't be like this.
Besides, Guy. Brendan Rodgers was the assist leader last season, and although his offense was not good, his playmaking and dribbling were still very good, at least, it is rare to see such consecutive mistakes. There is basically no need to doubt the question of basic skills.
Guy. Rodgers himself was full of doubts and frustration, he didn't know why he suddenly seemed to have lost the sense of the ball, how to dribble the ball without the feeling of ease before. The reason, of course, is not on him, this is what the "cardinal" Auerbach called the "ice cream trap". In a couple of fixed areas on the court, dribbling? That's almost 100% of the time there will be mistakes!
Don't say a guy. Rogers, even Jerry. West, Elgin. Baylor came, and it was the same.
There will be no miracles.
The continuous mistakes were easily scored by the opponent, which had a significant impact on the morale of the San Francisco Warriors, and the momentum that had been accumulated in the first half was overturned and collapsed in an instant. Coupled with the excessive effect of the air conditioning in the locker room at halftime, the Warriors are now playing a little messy.
It's okay to play amateur games without rules, and play professional basketball? If there is no rule, it is tantamount to looking for death.
will be beaten by others, and the nose will be bruised and swollen, and the head will be broken and bleeding.
Before the end of the half, it was still a 6-point difference, but in less than 5 minutes, it had become 16 points! The change in this score difference made Tang Qian a little difficult to accept for a while. Of course, this kind of problem can occur, and it is not just the "floor trap".
The San Francisco Warriors' shooting percentage on their side suddenly fell off a cliff, which was also a key factor.
It's as if all of a sudden the basket has shrunk, and even if it's an impact layup, the shooting percentage has dropped dramatically!
There must be a ghost in this!!
In Alex. After Hannum called a timeout, Don sneaked down and smashed over a bottle of sports drink with some annoyance, and then couldn't help but say, "Why? Why did it become like this all of a sudden? Yes??? "No one spoke, because everyone could see how much San Francisco 13 wanted to win tonight's game, otherwise, a fool would come up with such a big "private bonus"?
They didn't do their best, and they also wanted to get that money, but the dreamy first half of the third quarter made all the Warriors players feel cold in their hearts. They looked at the score and couldn't help but be discouraged.
"Wilt, the Bostonians have used a bad move." At this moment, Alex. Hannam stepped up and said, "That's the 'floor trap' they never admitted." And in my opinion, the basket was also manipulated by them at halftime. "What?" Tang Qian looked back in shock, he was a little difficult to accept Alex. Hannum's words.
"It's the NBA Finals, how dare they?"
"Why wouldn't they dare?" Alex. "I was in a similar situation when I coached St. Louis before. In the 1957 NBA Finals, our team and Boston fought fiercely for Game 7, and on Saturday afternoon, the NBA broadcast was broadcast live nationally for the first time. ”
In 1957, it was Boston's first championship, and the opponent was none other than Alex. Hannum's St. Louis Eagles. In Game 7, Boston narrowly defeated the Hawks 125-123 through two overtime games. It is said that later generations believed that there were many doubts. Including Alex. Hannum himself believes that the Green Army has used some "out-of-game" means to get an "extra win" for the Celtics.
Of course, the following year, after becoming a full-time head coach, he finally led the Hawks to a difficult time, especially G6 Bob. Petit has a wave of 50 points in a single game like a "flying fairy out of the sky"! Directly defeated the Celtics! It's also a perfect example in NBA history where individual ability can defeat a team!
So Alex. Hannum is well qualified to say these things.
"Didn't the coalition react at all?" When Tang Qian heard the news, he immediately became a little angry.
"First, there is not enough evidence. Second, the old guy at Auerbach is extremely influential in the league, and he can even influence certain decisions and decisions in the league at times. Thirdly, they don't do it every game, and overall, the sample size is still small. Fourth, this kind of thing, other teams may not be able to do it with a thick skin. ”
"So, how? Do you just let them play yin like this? Tang Qian shouted a little angrily.
"Now that the game is underway, there's nothing you can do but beat them head-on." Alex. Hanam Road.
"How do you beat it head-on? They are so shameless!! ”
Alex. Hannum looked at the team's No. 13 and suddenly said slowly: "You have this question, Bob also asked in the 1958 finals. My answer is still that, either the team breaks out and wins collectively, or ......"
"Or what?" Tang Qian asked.
"Either an individual breaks out, the gods descend to earth, defeat the opponent, and take away the game."
……
Yes, complaining, it's useless now, if you want to win, you can only rise up, only break out.
Bob in 1958. Pettit's choice was that the latter, the gods, G6 slashed 50 points, took away the game, and won the first NBA championship for the Hawks, and the only NBA championship for the Hawks until 2018.
OK, now it's time for Tang Qian to choose this question.
What will he choose? Yes, of course......
After Tang Qian returned to the court, he began to fight for the rhythm of rebounding with all his might, if he got the offensive rebound, then he must not have said a word, and directly exploded. Riot against people!
Unconsciously, his rebounding ball also entered the "The.Zone".
However, Russell did not show weakness, and immediately entered the "defense and rebounding The.Zone" state after a few rounds, which also means that San Francisco No. 13 cannot do whatever he wants on the Green Army's interior line. However, he clearly underestimated "Tang Qian's" belief in winning this match.
Even when he was pushed and elbowed by several people on the inside, he was completely blind, and that kind of focus, at least Bill. For the first time, Russell saw it in the eyes of the former. Previous"Wilt. Chamberlain", Russell bets, never had this kind of focus.
Under all kinds of pressure, Tang Qian actually improved again, and he entered the full "The.Zone", maybe he still played very hard, but he would not be able to play in Bill. There was no destructive power in front of Russell.
However, the Green Army also has its own beliefs, and they are getting bigger and bigger about Tang Qian's "small actions", but the ridiculous thing is that the referees on the sidelines are turning a blind eye. Some defensive moves on the sidelines of Alex. Hannum couldn't help but yell on the sidelines when he saw it.
Is it all about victory? Maybe there's nothing wrong with that, but that doesn't mean I agree with it!
Tang Qian also longs for victory, however, it is not such a way.
What he wants is uprightness and fairness, not this "gray nature" mode of victory.
You could think that this is his understanding of what is called victory.
Paranoia about the so-called victory.
But this did not make the Green Army any slack, but instead attracted more ferocious small actions and oversized defense of the Bostonians. When Tang Qian struggled to grab a frontcourt rebound and was about to jump and dunk, he was defeated by the Celtics No. 15, Tom Brown. Heinsohn hit the back of his head with an elbow when he blocked his back, and in an instant, he was so dazed that he almost fainted.
No matter how strong a person is, it is unbearable to be knocked on the back of the head like this, and the referee has not awarded Heinsohne a defensive foul? This made Tang Qian remember a mistake in vain, and he almost fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"Don't think you can do whatever you want alone, this is Boston, this is the Green Shirts, this is the Garden Arena, a place where you can never achieve ultimate victory! Got it? Mr. on stilts? "It's really naked arrogance, naked arrogance, obviously using foul moves, but also showing his toughness.
That's what the Green Army of this era did, anyway, in Auerbach's words, if you win, it's easy to say anything.
Won, everything is right.
Tang Qian lay on his stomach for a few seconds, and then he refused to be pulled up by his teammates, and slowly stood up with his knees on his own, and said, "You 'green hat', if you don't mean it, forget it, and you still drag it like this on purpose?" Do you really think ...... Won't labor and management get angry? ”
"Do you really think that these tricks can make you win without any suspense?"
Tang Qian suddenly looked at Tom, who was a lot shorter than him. Heinsohn said: "Labor and management tonight, I will teach you and your cuckold family to be a man!" ”
"You've waited for me!!"
