Throughout the game, Adelman insisted that Stojakovic play against Pierce, rather than Christie against Celtic's sharpest arrow, on the one hand, because Adelman was stubborn, and on the other hand, Reid was definitely not a point that could be easily let go. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Reed has always played as a team and as a team, which is the result of several years of development in following Leon's teachings. And Christie is good at dealing with players like that, you like to run, you like to pass, you like to play tactically? Then I, Christie, will use more accurate follow-up, blocking, and prediction to tell you that all this is in vain. Reed also admitted in his heart that Christie's defense was very clean, and in the third quarter of the game, Christie purely relied on prediction and good defensive skills to lock himself up, so that he could not find an offensive feeling at all.

It's important for a shooter to have an offensive feel, some people find it in the first quarter, and some players find it all game. But if they find it, they can deliver a fatal blow when they need it.

Reed is not a pure shooter, though, and for a shooter, he's undoubtedly too strong, and like Arenas, his arms are getting thicker and thicker, and his thick body feels like he can hold up to a center. Every time he shoots, it feels effortless, as if a powerful trebuchet has thrown the ball out.

Of course, such a strong body is not only used for shooting or defense.

When Mike Bibby missed a forced shot from beyond the three-point line, the Celtics' chance to overtake came. Prior to that, Pierce and Garnett each used their individual abilities to score four points in a row to narrow the gap to one. And the Kings fell into a scoring slump again, and both offenses relied on three-point shots, without exception, and missed the iron.

This time Arenas didn't force a quick counter-attack, he passed half-time and handed the ball to Garnett in the middle, and it was clear that they were going to run the triangle and chase the points with two quick attacks. Arenas went around the bottom corner, Pierce pulled up to 45 degrees to the right, PJ was around the three-second zone on the right, and the left was all free for Reed.

Reed came out and received a pass from Garnett and faced Christie one-on-one!

"Use your body, use your skills ......" Leon couldn't help but shout on the sidelines, but he held back, because he knew that Reed would understand what the coach and teammates meant, such a one-on-one opportunity, if he forced a jump shot again, then he would be too Arenas.

Sure enough, after Reed turned to face the basket, he didn't force a jump shot, but forced a break from the right side after a tentative step, and then pulled back with a beautiful crotch dribble and changed to the familiar left hand. Christie thought he was going to jump straight out, and his whole body unconsciously lifted up, and it was this mention that made Christie's feet empty.

Reed seized the moment and squeezed a dribble straight past Christie's right to go straight into the three-second zone. Reed, a left-hander, undoubtedly had an advantage in the face of Divac coming up to make up for the defense, as he made a layup from the left side, his right arm just against Divac, and his left hand firmly put the ball into the basket.

It was a brilliant goal that sent Celtic's bench exploding, with James Posey waving his towel flying like a song, and even Sigfried couldn't help but clench his fist.

At the same time, the referee's whistle blew, and the bearded Divac glared at the referee with an innocent face, while Reid was high-fived his teammates, and Divac fouled the ball, and Reid not only scored two points but also added a penalty.

"Huh!" Reed's free throw hit a solid shot to take the lead, and the Celtics took a two-point lead. At this time, there are still 5 minutes left before the end of the game, and it is not yet known who will die.

"Reed's shot is a great example of his offensive skills, and Divac made a mistake and he either took Reid down or didn't foul him, and I would have thought to them with innocent expressions, what did you do earlier, what kind of basketball did you play? Why not go to Hollywood. Wharton didn't forget to mock Divac, after all, Divac also debuted in Los Angeles that year.

Reed's shot undoubtedly changed the situation on the court, but in retrospect, Christie also forced Reed on offense, scoring two points on Reed's head with a close-range jumper to equalize the score.

"Christie's offense is easy to overlook, and it would have worked better against Posey against him, and with the amoeba, he'll be at a loss...... No, it's not time yet, let Michael solve it himself......" Leon watched the situation develop from the sidelines, and just left it alone, but he had a strategy in his heart.

He knows that Christie of the Kings is very easy to overlook, his defense, his playmaking, his offense, and it's not for nothing that people call him the best template for Michael Reed, and it's a good player who is a good player for the Kings. Of course, Christie also has his weaknesses, and Leon is sure that if he uses the killer trick that he is still brewing, he can make the King's Princeton completely invalid.

But he held back, after all, this killer feature was not yet mature, and now he needed to use this kind of competition to inspire Reed and make Reed really mature.

Sure enough, looking back, Garnett handed the ball to Reed again, the same tactics, the same position, facing Christie again, this time Christie will not be easily clicked again.

However, Reed will not use the same trick again, this time Garnett stepped forward to cover, Reed used the staggered moment again with the help of cover, suddenly stepped back and jumped, the ball hollowed into the net, Reed scored 6 points in a row.

When the shooter regains his confidence, they become invincible.

Adelman called a timeout, and although he was only two points behind, he had a vague sense that Michael Reed's resurgence did not bode well. Despite his stubbornness, Adelman will still set up tactics in the final moments.

Of course, Leon will not let go of this precious long timeout, the time has come for the decisive battle, and the time has come for him to decide to show his true tactics.

"After a whole game, let's play some tactics." Leon picked up the tactics board and prepared to use tactics to defeat the king in the last few minutes.

Leon drew two tactical maps on the board, both of which were tactical combinations of the fold attack, which was a key part of the Celtics' practice throughout the summer and an invaluable tactical resource that Rick Carlisle brought to the table.

The fold attack originated in Europe, in fact, many of the formation concepts of the Celtics' second rapid counterattack are similar to the fold attack, which is also a tactical idea that he believes is suitable for the current Celtic positional war after tactical discussions with Carlisle.

Compared with the American offensive tactics, the folding area offense has strong European characteristics, first, it attaches importance to the thorough opening of space, second, pays attention to running without the ball, third, makes full use of the pull of the bottom line, and fourth, the comprehensive ability of each player is very high.

In the previous games, the Celtics have begun to show the style of folding area offense in the positional attack, and it is true that the Celtics, who lack a heavy traditional interior line but have an all-round fighter, are suitable for this tactic. It's just that they are not proficient enough in some routines, and sometimes they will still use the old methods to solve the problem if they can't run out.

"Connect your runs and your choices, remember, take your chances, take any opportunity." Leon concluded by emphasizing that the essence of the fold attack is that its tactical routine does not have an offensive endpoint, and any player who has an opportunity in the tactical process can choose to shoot. A really good team that can master the offense in the fold is bound to be endless, and the opponent does not know where he started.

When the timeout was over and back on the court, the Kings were still running their Princeton, and Di Vac seized the opportunity to pull the ball away with a beautiful back-to-back pass for Stojakovic to make a layup and equalize again.

Just when people thought that the game would be played until the last minute, the last ball, Celtic seemed to have suddenly changed their faces, and they had been stumbling in the attack before, and they relied on the individual ability of the players, and they used a different formation and tactics. The five completely pulled apart, the strong and weak sides were clear, the frontcourt rebounds were abandoned, the baseline was constantly interspersed, Garnett moved from the top of the arc to the side, Brown came to the outside of the three-point line, and the Celtics began to run like a clockwork machine.

Leon's off-ball simulation in daily training began to work, and when he drew a tactical roadmap for his players, the players were basically able to execute perfectly within three minutes, and in the final minutes, the Celtics played a near-perfect offensive combination against the unprepared Kings.

Reed cut to the basket, Arenas slipped to the bottom line for a rebound, Pierce made a three-pointer in the bottom corner, Garnett relayed in the air, and the Celtics hit a 9:0 attack wave at once, and then took away the king in the last wave.

Until the end of the game, Adelman stood on the sidelines with his hands folded in confusion, not knowing what was happening. It's as if the 1992 Finals were pulled back by 15 points in the fourth quarter of Game 6, "What the hell is going on?" (To be continued.) )
