Looking at the Celtics' roster and scouting report, McMillan frowned, which was a different feeling than facing the Lakers. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After all, the Celtics' Big Three are more terrifying than Kobe after the combination, plus Gasol and Odom and others, and what is even more speechless is that the atmosphere in their team is still very good, although Pierce is the soul of the team, but he will not take over the team's offense for no reason like Kobe, Ray Allen and Garnett will give him enough help.

It's a really tough opponent to deal with, strong, willing to share the ball, and has few weaknesses, does it really depend on the performance of the players? This is of course to be taken into account, without the on-the-spot explosion of the players, the Trail Blazers are at least inferior to the Celtics in terms of hard power, so it is likely to be absolutely crushed in terms of strength. But tactics are also a very crucial part, you can't expect Ye Feng to keep holding the ball and playing alone, right? Even if he had the ability and this idea, McMillan would not have agreed, knowing that the Celtics' defensive intensity is much greater than that of the Lakers.

So what kind of tactic should be adopted?

In terms of the cards that can be played in the hands of the pioneers, blocking and dismantling is undoubtedly the most powerful and the most trouble-free, and it is a waste not to play blocking and dismantling with such a breakthrough master as Ye Feng. However, there are still different tactics to supplement the pick-and-roll, after all, not every team's core players can achieve the ultimate in simple pick-and-roll tactics like the "Utah Twins". But McMillan suddenly thought of a team known for its flamboyance, and also thought of a tactic that could be used, which was the Kings led by Webb, Williams and Peja, and the tactic was Princeton.

Princeton is a very well-known set of tactics that may be as famous in the league as the triangle offense, the only downside is that no team has ever tried to win a championship with pure Princeton, which the Bulls and Lakers have demonstrated. Many tactics have a shadow of Princeton, but with the exception of the Kings under Adelman, few teams have made Princeton the foundation of their team.

The maxim of Princeton's tactics is "Strong take advantage of the weak, and smart take advantage of the strong." The essence of this style of play is "man-to-man, ball move, coordination", man-to-man movement refers to moving without the ball, cutting in the air and running back, and ball movement refers to constantly passing and sharing the ball. Among them, the reverse run is the signature of Princeton's style of play. Princeton is touted by many as being able to crack any defense as long as it meets the requirements, but that's just in theory. McMillan doesn't plan to copy it exactly, it's okay to refer to it, and Princeton's spirit of sharing the ball is more in line with the Trail Blazers' style of play.

Princeton's most basic tactic is to have the No. 4 player hold the ball in the high post, and then the No. 2 and No. 3 positions alternate between the two positions, and both players can use the opponent's off-ball movement to block and cut inside to score directly. If it doesn't play a cover role, the player who cuts in can continue to move along the baseline and take the defender away, and the other player can move to the outside of the three-point line on the strong side to catch the ball, which is also a gap that can be exploited. It's a simple tactic, but the most important point is, as the team's starting power forward, can Aldridge take on such a heavy responsibility?

The first game of the finals is scheduled for June 3 local time, which means that the Trail Blazers, who played the division finals first, have nearly a week of rest. However, except for the first day off for the players, McMillan spent the rest of his time on tactical training, as well as recovery-oriented training. The players were not reluctant to accept such an arrangement, and they knew that the finals were bound to be a tough one, and if they were to find any hope of winning in such a difficult environment, they would have to make the most of the time they had left to prepare themselves.

To McMillan's relief, despite stumbling and even occasional mistakes, Aldridge worked hard to shoulder the burden of a high level of playmaking, and the other two key figures in the team's tactics, Ye Feng and Batum, they mastered the tactical movement in a very short period of time, and although it was still a long time before they could get it all right, their movement was already decent. And Ye Feng also has a big brain, and in the process of winning the ball, he also invented a few new small combinations, his idea is very simple, try to involve all the players, otherwise with the Celtics' defense, it will be three to five.

The Celtics, who were resting in Boston, did not train at any time, believing that the team's regular tactics were sufficient. Although the experience of the Big Three is not to underestimate their opponents, the fact is that the Trail Blazers are at least one level lower than the Celtics in any aspect, and caution does not mean that they have no confidence in themselves, and the Celtics are now full of confidence in themselves, thinking that the Trail Blazers, the sixth youth army in the West, will not have any impact on them winning the championship again, as long as the team plays normally, it is enough to kick them away.

However, what made them curious was that the Trail Blazers engaged in closed training, of course, the warm-up before training and the recovery after training still allowed reporters to go in and take pictures, but during tactical training, no matter how big a reporter you are, you will be politely but resolutely invited by the Trail Blazers staff to go outside the court, and not show them any training content at all. Soon the rumors spread, no one thought that the Trail Blazers still had any secret weapons in their hands, and they all guessed that they were playing tricks, hoping to cause some pressure on the Celtics, which also made most of the media scoff at the Blazers' approach, in their opinion, the gap in strength is irreparable, and it is useless for you to hide it, the weak are the weak.

The whole team of the Trail Blazers didn't pay attention to what the outside world was talking about, although their remarks were clear on their knees, nothing more than self-conscious, posturing, etc., etc. But the Trail Blazers didn't make any statements, and let those reporters chase after the wind on their media platforms, and now every minute and every second of their lives is precious, and it is about what kind of performance the Finals team can play, and they don't bother to engage in a battle of words at this time.

Since you like beeping, you can play it yourself, and when the finals start, we'll show you the results.
