"Why is Kevin in such a hurry......" Leon frowned when he looked at the first goal conceded on the court, and Garnett was anxious to expand and press Parker in the first ball, and the tactics had not yet been opened, and being too aggressive was undoubtedly a flaw for the opponent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Leon knew Garnett wasn't such a frizzy player, having been in the league for eight years and often coming across as passionate, but was actually a sophisticated, cunning guy who knew what to do at different stages of the game.

The performance of the first ball today seems to have an impact on the public opinion before the game, but what he is thinking in his heart, Leon does not have the bottom.

The game continued, and Michael Reid broke through the middle with the ball and hit a throw from Ginobili, but the referee blew the whistle first and awarded Reed a foul. There was a lot of boos, but it was clear that Crawford would not be disturbed by the boos and he insisted on his decision. Reid was a good guy on the pitch, and he just shook his head and ran back.

Leon was a little frustrated, he knew Crawford's routine, he was a very controlling referee, and it was clear that he was going to give his players some warning with a whistle at the beginning of the game, and that warning was perfect for the home players. First, it will not appear to favor the home field with the home whistle, and secondly, the effect of killing chickens and monkeys is more obvious.

"I'm m!" Leon scolded Crawford, Crawford looked back at Leon and didn't know what he said, hesitated for a moment or didn't blow the whistle, after all, it was TD North Shore Garden, and it needed to be restrained.

The Celtics bench didn't understand what Leon shouted, only Wang Zhizhi sat there snickering, his big mouth grinning very brightly.

The scolding was enjoyable, but it didn't affect the game, and it was the Spurs' turn to attack, and this time Tony Parker once again took advantage of Duncan's cover to shoot a mid-range jumper inside the three-point line. The ball hollowed into the net and Spurs scored two more points.

Tim Duncan's cover quality is indeed very high, creating plenty of room for Parker on both occasions, and it seems that Popovich's pre-game tactical setup is also very clear, playing to his strengths, and the offensive end is concise and clear, and establishing an advantage as soon as possible. It's hard to be behind from the start of an away game.

Popovich has always given the impression of a master tactician, but Leon does not think so, and Leon can feel that Popovich is not necessarily better than him Fox Leon in terms of the richness of offensive tactics and the flexibility of use. But Popovich is a brilliant manager and a brilliant guru in operations, and his Spurs have a "with my operations, the rest is a pass."

The Celtics were killed by the Spurs, and in the finals last year, the Spurs seized Duncan's super point, everything revolves around Duncan, starting from Duncan and ending with Duncan, attacking Duncan, defending Duncan, no matter what tricks Leon plays on the tactical end, the Spurs are all down to ten, and I will use Duncan.

After Parker's goal, the Celtics launched a quick secondary attack, Arenas quickly broke through half-court, and then was intercepted by Duncan in the middle, and had to circle back to the three-point line before passing the ball to Pierce, who forced a back-step in the face of Bowen and missed.

The Spurs' retreat and formation are quite fast, like an efficient ant colony, they don't need verbal communication, they can find their place in defense by moving their tentacles to spread the smell.

This kind of precise, accurate defense, every point is even, and you're hard-pressed to find a breakthrough. So, what the Spurs' defense fears most is the sharp knife, the kind of guy who can tear a line through alone. Kobe Bryant was, is, and will be a nightmare for the Spurs, and the Celtics are playing that role, Arenas.

With Pierce's missed shot, the Spurs used the counterattack to score again, and Duncan received a ginobilian pass on the counterattack and dunked down the middle.

But the Celtics didn't slow down the pace of offense, Arenas launched a second quick attack again, this time he didn't choose to break through, but relied on PJ-Brown's solid blocking outside the three-point line, and fired directly outside the three-point line at the top of the arc!

The hot ball burned through the nets and finally lit the first flame in the North Shore Gardens!

Gilbert Arenas has his arms held high, and no matter what restrictions Fox Leon gives him, Leon will never limit him with this kind of pick-and-shoot right from beyond the three-point line.

Then the two sides fell into a back-and-forth offensive and defensive battle, and Duncan's performance was as stable as ever, playing a huge role on both offensive and defensive ends; And Arenas has become the Celtics' out-and-out super engine, facing Parker he has an advantage in speed and power, and his unparalleled self-confidence allows him to constantly hit difficult mid-to-long-range shots, and he scored 13 points in the first quarter.

However, Popovich insisted in the first quarter that Parker and Arenas were one-on-one and not let anyone wrap up. Popovich believes that since Arenas couldn't beat Parker and Spurs one-on-one in the Finals last year, he can't do it today.

Indeed, it wasn't enough to have Arenas on the side, and the Celtics trailed the Spurs by four points at 21-25 at the end of the first quarter, and they didn't do a very good job of limiting Duncan and Ginobili on the defensive end, with multiple open spots for Spurs players to shoot. And the Spurs' tactics are extremely slippery, soft and hard, and if you want to suppress them, you must have 100% offensive and defensive performance.

The man who didn't do 100 percent in the starting five was none other than Kevin Garnett.

………………

After the first quarter, Garnett sat on the bench panting, and it was obvious that he was not relaxed in the first quarter, but on the contrary, he tried his best, but everything seemed to be unfamiliar to him.

He was led by Duncan's nose several times defensively, and as a result, he leaked a big hole to other Spurs players, and he also fell into a disadvantage in one-on-one offensive and defensive confrontations with Duncan. He is one grade behind Duncan in his technique of eating alone with his back, he can only turn over and lean back with a fixed movement, and the strong protrusion of the face frame is two grades worse, in short, regardless of offense and defense, Garnett is in a quagmire tonight.

Sweat dripped down Garnett's nose, and he didn't listen to a word of Leon's tactics, and his mind kept recalling a comment he had seen: "Duncan will end up with the Spurs and bring key to it, and Kevin Garnett, even if he wins 10 championships with the Celtics, will not reach Duncan's level." ”

What stung Garnett with this assessment was not only that he didn't have a championship, that he was not as good as Duncan, but that he was no longer the No. 21 of the Timberwolves. In his opinion, no matter what he achieves with the Celtics, he can't compare to Duncan, who has played for the Spurs from start to finish.

Unless he can really get ten titles and can really have a long and great career with the Celtics like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar...... But it was too far away, and he was thinking too much. These complex ideas affected his performance.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Leon sent in Delham Porter and put Garnett on the bench to rest. After only three minutes of rest, Popovich re-sent Duncan, and Leon immediately put Garnett on the line-up, and the score was 31-35, and the Spurs still led by four points.

As soon as he got on the court, the Celtics attacked, Garnett received the ball at the top of the middle arc, this is a standard double triangle tactic, Arenas went around the bottom, Reid cut outside, Pierce walked to the bottom corner and pulled away, Garnett chose to face Duncan one-on-one in the middle of the road frame!

He shook his shoulders and dribbled to force a breakthrough from the right side, trying to use the advantage of speed to shake off Duncan and go straight to the basket!

But Duncan adjusted his pace and followed Garnett closely......

"This ball is going to be over...... Leon said badly, this ball Garnett didn't start at all, and he couldn't get rid of Duncan, but he insisted on going to the basket.

"Bang!" Duncan took a big risk and took Garnett's layup down. The ball failed to leave Garnett's grasp, and he carried the ball, along with the ball, to the ground by Duncan's tremendous force.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blows and makes a scrum for the ball.

Leon finally couldn't take it anymore, he called a short timeout, then beckoned to Garnett, dragged him in front of him, dragged him by the hand on his clothes, slapped him in the face, and asked face to face, "Tell me who you are." ”

"I... I am...... Who. Garnett was a little confused.

"Tell me who you are!" Leon began to roar, his eyes split, completely ignoring the other players.

"I'm ...... I'm Kevin Garnett. Garnett replied.

"Be louder and tell me who you are!" Leon's roar even shocked the referee.

"I'm Kevin Garnett!" Garnett finally roared out, and he let out a sigh of relief and looked up at the arena.

"Okay, I think you know who you are and how to play. Okay, there's ten seconds left, I'm going to devise a tactic. (To be continued.) )
