In the NBA, there are many legends about the North Shore Garden Arena, the home of the Celtics, and the most is that "every Celtics player knows where the floor on the court is uneven and will try to get the opponent to dribble there and make mistakes". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This rumor may never have been confirmed, so it is only a rumor so far. Although nothing strange happened when the regular season was away against the Celtics, it is now the Finals, and it seems that if you don't check it carefully, there is always a little uneasiness in your heart. So during the pre-game training, Ye Feng deliberately pulled Batum, and the two of them slowly dribbled the ball and stepped on every corner of each of the two halves, thinking that they were hanging out! Fortunately, although the others thought it was a little strange, they didn't ask questions, otherwise with the experience of Miller and Camby, the two old guys, they would have already begun to laugh at them.

Before the game officially began, McMillan didn't say much in the locker room, but briefly re-explained Princeton's basic tactics to everyone. He knew that with the Celtics' sophistication, Princeton was not a tactic they couldn't defend in their eyes, but this time his main idea was to catch the opponent off guard, knowing that during the regular season or even the playoffs, the Trail Blazers had never used such offensive tactics, which meant that the Celtics didn't know anything about it. McMillan didn't dare to expect the team to win the championship with this one tactic, but it would be good to cause some problems for the Celtics.

There was nothing new in the starters on either side, with Miller, Batum, Ye Feng, Aldridge and Camby on the Trail Blazers' side and Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett and Perkins for the Celtics. In fact, in the finals, there are very few people who go off the beaten path in the first game, firstly, to maintain the tacit understanding and stability of the team, and secondly, to take this opportunity to touch the bottom of the opponent, if you want to change, it is not too late to change in the second game. As an aside, this is one of the reasons why the NCAA is more popular and easier to get excited than the NBA, and the NCAA has a higher level of tactical literacy, after all, the tournament stage is a winner, and there is no time for you to test each other with your opponents, and there is no time for you to think carefully about tactics.

Ye Feng has always been a little skeptical about the Celtics' defensive ability, there are three veterans in the starters, and they don't feel how strong their defense is when they play each other in the regular season. While the Celtics in the 07-08 season were considered to have played a historic defensive game, that was two seasons ago, so how much do they have left now? In fact, Ye Feng doesn't want to think about it, as the core of the team, the Big Three must be closed and played in the regular season, so as to leave enough energy for the playoffs, players like Miller, they are not the core of the team, and it doesn't matter if they work hard in the regular season.

But it wasn't until he met the Celtics in the finals that Ye Feng was really taken aback. Originally, he was very confident in his own strength and thought that it would be okay to break through a veteran like Pierce, but he didn't expect Pierce to work much harder and more cunning than in the regular season, his card position can be included in the textbook, coupled with his thick body and huge ass, Ye Feng was deflated on him for the first time with the ball. However, Ye Feng is not a brute person, and when he can't break through, he will not insist on continuing to work alone because of face problems, he motioned Aldridge to move to the high position, handed the ball to him, and began to run with Batum himself.

Aldridge came online to catch the ball, Garnett was not far away, and the Celtics handed over the basket to Perkins alone. It's no surprise that Garnett is arguably one of the best all-around defenders in NBA history, with his range expanding from the basket to the three-point line, and his excellent movement speed and long arms allow him to get back quickly without losing position, something the Trail Blazers players have long been aware of.

Ignoring Aldridge's dilemma facing Garnett, Ye Feng and Batum completed the off-ball cover in the elbow area, Ye Feng continued to dismantle outside, and Batum took advantage of the opportunity for the Celtics players to be attracted by Ye Feng and quickly cut to the basket. Aldridge certainly saw their moves, which they had agreed before, Ye Feng is easier to attract the defense than Batum, which means that Batum has a better chance of running back to the basket. Aldridge made a direct pass to Batum with his hand, and in the face of the thick but clumsy Perkins, Batum scored the ball with a light pick-and-roll to give the Trail Blazers the lead.

However, the Celtics did not take this conceded goal seriously, their experience determined that they could be happy and angry in the game, Perkins picked up the ball and sent it directly to Rondo outside the baseline, and Rondo controlled the ball to the front court with a blank face. Most of the Celtics' offense actually comes from the Big Three, and their philosophy is to use defense to drive the offense, but that being said, focusing on defense doesn't mean they won't attack, in fact, their offense is still very strong, no way, people have a good lineup, and they can score directly if they play.

Because of Garnett's all-round interior line, the Celtics like to play blocking and dismantling very much, usually Garnett covers Rondo, and Rondo can make his own layup or choose to share the ball after Rondo bursts to the inside, and at this time he has a lot of options for sharing the ball. With Perkins' autonomous offensive ability negligible, Rondo can pass back to Garnett and let him score with a mid-range shot, or he can pass to Pierce or Ray Allen from the outside to shoot threes. And the reason why the two of them were able to get the gap was also largely because Garnett attracted the bag, which made the outside line more and less played.

This time it was the same combination, Garnetra went to the top of the arc to cover Rondo, Rondo directly shook off Miller and dribbled inside, and Garnett moved to near the free throw line to receive the ball, which was his most comfortable offensive position. However, Rondo did not pass the ball, his palms were completely out of proportion to his size, and he could often make some bizarre feints to deceive defenders, such as the current fake fax ...... With the ball in one hand behind his back, Camby mistakenly thought he had passed the ball to his teammates and let his guard down, and Rondo took advantage of the opportunity to score the Celtics' first goal of the game with a three-step layup.
