(The fisherman should not be a basketball novice, right)

"Is this the kind of trick he does on the inside line," Thibodo muttered thoughtfully as he looked at the Grizzlies player on the court who was battling O'Neal Jr.

This game actually surprised him from the beginning, although the league does not stipulate that players above 2.08 are required to play center, there is no provision for players above 2.06 to play big forward, and there is no regulation that players above 2 meters must be required to play small forward, in fact, this is also for sure, basketball is a game of misalignment, big and small is misplaced, and small and big are also misplaced.

But there is no doubt that At the time when the inside line is generally above 2.05 now, a 1.98 inside line is definitely extremely alternative, and the pressure he faces is also conceivable, small and big, many times it is easy to be eaten by the opponent when defending, and it is impossible to find even the space to shoot when attacking, which is difficult for ordinary players to do, and Carter is now not using shooting to attack on the offensive end, his offensive skills are very comprehensive, just like just now, after he turned around with his footsteps, Xiao Ao couldn't stop him.

But what about on the defensive end? Although he successfully defended Xiao Ao in the last ball, this does not mean that Xiao Ao has no way to attack, Xiao Ao's range is not only under the basket, his offense is not only his back, his face frame shot can shoot him in the face of Carter of such a height, this is also the most painful place in the inner line of less than 2 meters, and in fact, for interior players, the biggest disadvantage of the real height disadvantage is that the defensive end is shot in addition to the offensive end of the shot, which is all reflected in the shooting.

And in fact, after Celtic's second attack, Celtic once again handed the ball to Xiao O. Xiao Ao's position at this time is already in the middle of the bottom three-point line and the basket, this is Xiao Ao's most comfortable shooting range, in this position, the Boston Celtics' home inside shooting rate is extremely amazing, but what makes Thibodu still very surprised is that although Xiao Ao is deliberately not close to Carter, Carter's defense is directly up close, which is not at all to give Xiao Ao an easy chance to shoot.

In fact, when facing an offensive style like Xiao Ao or Garnett in the league. Many people are at a loss, whether it is Garnett or Xiao Ao, their ball-holding offense is very good, if it is close at this time, nine times out of ten it is directly broken through, and then these two will be directly dunked under the basket, and if it is not close, then their shooting in this position is also extremely ferocious, but for many people, it is a complete dilemma. In the face of Carter, there is no such dilemma.

And Thibodu understood after a little thought, with Carter's height, he really wants to play inside, so does he have a choice on the defensive end? There is no choice. He could only defend closely, and this time under Carter's close defense, Xiao Ao still did not find the angle to break through, and finally could only make two shooting feints in a row with Carter on top. Seeing that Carter was not shaken up, he could only barely shoot in the end, and the ball thrown by Xiao Ao bounced twice on the basket and finally fell into the basket. 2 points were scored, and after scoring this goal, Xibodu saw Xiao Ao wipe the cold sweat on his forehead on the field and then he also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, too reluctantly, this is a balloon.

"Yes, this trick is enough" Zhuang Fei said with a smile, after Duncan went to participate in the draft, the Celtics in order to add a fulcrum on the inside, Zhuang Fei let Carter go to the inside line is not blindly let him gain weight or systematically learn the defense of the inside, but directly let him defend the inside line according to his defense on the outside, such as his close defense, Carter was known for his close defense when he was in the NCAA, his lower game is very stable, his feet are very flexible, and his defensive skills are also very good, In this case, he is almost a perfect close defender, not even worse than his current teammate Artest, and even better in some aspects, such as footwork, when defending Xiao Ao, Xiao Ao may be able to break through in the face of Artest, but in the face of Carter, it is impossible to break through, and his defense is also extremely damaging to Xiao Ao's inside. So in Zhuang Fei's view, Carter's interior defense at this time is very similar to the style of Hayes of the Rockets in the future, because in fact, with their height of interior players, there is really no way to defend except for closeness, so similarity is inevitable.

"I now finally understand why this team was double-killed by the Trail Blazers in the regular season this season, and it was also double-killed when it played the Mavericks," after Zhuang Fei finished speaking, the Boston Celtics assistant coach Thibodeau, who had been quiet since the start of the game, also said with a smile.

"Yes, this team has natural flaws" Zhuang Fei also smiled and nodded, this year's regular season was killed by the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks, it is not strange for the Grizzlies at all, playing the Trailblazers, Randolph's big fat man is not Xiao Ao, he is not a Carter can wait for people, this guy is alive and well as a big shark among big forwards, and the same is true when playing the Mavericks, Nowitzki's barely shooting ability is not comparable to Xiao Ao.

Perhaps for Ao to shoot backwards in front of him or shoot dry-and-shoot after being close-to, this is a trick for Nowitzki, who can really use his height advantage to shoot Carter, even if Carter can stick to him and make him less efficient. And this is why Carter has played Bird's data this season, and the addition of Artest has also made the Grizzlies stronger than last season, but in the regular season, the Grizzlies are far inferior to last season, because Carter who plays the fourth position is inevitably inferior to Carter who plays outside, everyone knows that just in order to be able to break through from the East, the Grizzlies must do this, and no one wants to be locked by the Celtics' five-point lineup again.

In fact, after the Grizzlies let Carter enter the No. 4 position in the regular season this season, such a flaw is not unknown to anyone, Zhuang Fei is sure, Grizzlies head coach Carlisle will definitely know, but in the same way, Zhuang Fei is also the reason why the Grizzlies head coach persevered even if he knew, because for the Grizzlies, all the people who can play Carter in the power forward position are in the West. That is, the so-called four big forwards in the league are all in the west.

Of course, in fact, the so-called big four forwards are indeed aimed at the big forwards in the West, and this term was also put forward last season, when the playoffs last season, there was a magazine that made a special report, and the title of the report was 'Players who can influence the Western Conference playoffs', and among the five players who affected the Western Conference playoffs, in addition to O'Fat, was Duncan. Garnett, Webb and Nowitzki, and this is the so-called big four, which is not the same as the big four, which is not officially recognized, and it is not often called by the American media.

Although the media don't often call it, it doesn't mean that Zhuang Fei and other coaches don't know that the big forward in the West is now more than two centuries ahead of the East, and in fact, Grizzlies head coach Carlisle also knows that Carter can't play Duncan in the No. 4 position. It doesn't matter if you can't play Nowitzki or even Randolph, as long as you can play O'Neill Jr., Boozer, and Marion. And when the Grizzlies break through from the East, the Silly × will continue to let Carter play the No. 4 position, and this is also after the playoffs, the Grizzlies' tactics have varied. Neither Thibodo nor Green saw the reason for the team's intentions. This would have been a highly targeted tactic.

"Coach, do we need to adjust our tactics now?" Although he already has a new understanding of this grizzly bear at this time, he does not have the strangeness brought by the beginning of the game, and it can even be said that for him, he has a bottom in his heart now. And at this time, the Boston Celtics do have the ability to change the current unfavorable situation on the court, and now the Boston Celtics on the court are not very smooth, and the Grizzlies' 2-1-2 joint defense has limited Wade's ' very well. The initiation of the 1-4' tactic, the 1-4 warriors need to break through the ball, but the 2-1-2 joint defense is one of the best tactics to break through, and to Thibodo's surprise, Billups, who doesn't seem to be a speed point guard, is quite good at Wade's defense, and he didn't even expect it to be excellent.

In fact, the current Celtics players on the court are also very passive because of Xiao Ao and Wade, in fact, Wade now does not have much other tactical value except for playing 1-4 tactics, whether it is a triangle offense or Princeton, he can't play, even the simplest blocking and dismantling he may not be able to initiate well, in this case, the Celtics in the face of the Grizzlies as soon as they come up against the defense naturally need to change their strategy, which is also inevitable, so after Thibodu proposed, Zhuang Fei on the side nodded without any hesitation.

"Since Carlisle gave us a gift, we can also give him a gift," Zhuang Fei finally looked at the Celtics and Grizzlies players on the court who were fiercely competing, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth

"Coach Z asked for a timeout, the game only started less than three minutes, and now the Grizzlies are temporarily leading 8-2, it seems that Coach Z is now a little dissatisfied with the Celtics' play, in the past, Coach Z would not call a timeout so early, but from the current situation, the Grizzlies are indeed a more prepared team, and the Celtics seem to be completely disrupted by the Grizzlies' preparation"

After Zhuang Fei called a timeout, Barkley in the stands also frowned and said, he is now a supporter of the Celtics, although his tactical literacy may not see the big difference between the two teams or the two head coaches on the court, but as a legendary player, his judgment of the situation on the court is very clear, at this time the Grizzlies are obviously suppressing the Celtics, and it seems that the Grizzlies' preparation is indeed more adequate, of course, Barkley at this time must not know, The Grizzlies may have been preparing for this series for a season.

"Well, that's true, last season's playoff game was played by the Boston Celtics' five-point lineup of small forwards, and they will definitely make changes in this game, and such a change is amazing."

In the NBA, the losing side will change in advance, especially in the playoffs, this is common sense, although this is the first meeting between these two teams this season, but in fact it is also a continuation of the two teams in the playoffs last year, and in fact, these two teams have met in the Eastern Conference finals in the past three years, it can be said that in the East, the biggest opponent of these two teams is only each other, and in this case, these two teams must be each other most of the time in the usual imaginary enemies, This also makes the playoffs of these two teams have continuity in the past three years.

So this year's appearance of last season's loser Grizzlies to suppress the Celtics in advance is not an accident, but what Kenny Smith did not expect is that it will be suppressed so badly, it depends on whether the Chinese has prepared in advance. If you don't prepare in advance, it is very likely that this game will be lost to the Grizzlies, you know, when the Grizzlies and Celtics met in the playoffs last season, it was the Celtics against the Grizzlies, and it was also because the Grizzlies were not prepared, the Celtics came up with a 2-0, and it was because of this that they established the victory in last year's playoffs.

"Huh? Was Wade substituted after the timeout? Coach Z changed to the starting number one of the far team, James Posey," Barkley said with some surprise after watching the players from both sides come on after this timeout.

"It seems that Billups' restriction on Wade has forced Coach Z to abandon the 1-4 strategy, and without the 1-4 strategy, Wade's tactical value is indeed maximized on the bench," Kenny Smith also explained after Barkley's doubts

"Is this a preparation to play the triangle attack like last season? Isn't that a great option? After the game restarted, the Celtics' substitution also made the Grizzlies head coach Carlisle on the court also frowned, he wasn't sure what Zhuang Fei meant, but according to the meeting between the two teams last season, the Celtics' most sure conventional tactic at this time should be the triangle offense, but when the Celtics' offense was launched, it directly enriched the face of the Grizzlies coach, who had always been calm.

"The knight's upside-down tactics?!" (To be continued.) )
