"Zhuang, although when I say this now, you will think that I am incompetent or humiliated, but even so, I still have to say to you here that the winner of this series will only be our Miami Heat"

Before the game, Zhuang Fei was a little surprised when he heard this, obviously he didn't think that this Pat Riley, who had been looking forward to this game for a long time, would say such a sentence, because in many cases, Pat Riley's impression of Zhuang Fei is not like this, Zhuang Fei and Pat Riley are also very good friends, many times this famous wise man in the alliance gives Zhuang Fei a scheming fox feeling, this is an extremely cunning guy, if Po * Vich gives Zhuang Fei the feeling of being cunning, Then this Pat Riley gives Zhuang Fei the feeling of cunning, although the two have never played against each other in the series before, to be able to make such a cunning coach say such a straightforward provocative remark before the game, there may be only two answers, one is that this cunning guy has indeed mastered the secret weapon to defeat the Celtics, so he doesn't care whether he hides it or not, and the other answer is naturally a suspicious plan out of nothing. ,!

But no matter what tricks Pat Riley wants to play before this round of the series, Zhuang Fei's expression has not changed in the slightest, for him now, he is rarely transferred by the will of the other party, or Zhuang Fei has been able to stick to his own self at this time, maybe the Heat does have a secret weapon or the Heat is bluffing, but as long as the Celtics can play their strongest strength, everything else doesn't matter.

So Zhuang Fei just smiled after hearing Pat Riley's extremely provocative declaration, and then just nodded to the Heat head coach and turned away.

This game is currently the most interesting game in the NBA, Zhuang Fei is currently the most popular head coach in the NBA, this is an undoubted thing now, it can be said that since Zhuang Fei's debut in Wake Forest, coupled with the madness in the NBA, it can be said that in terms of popularity, he has left a large number of superstars behind, and Zhuang Fei is also the only Oscar winner in the NBA, maybe now Zhuang Fei is not very good in terms of honors, compared to Pat Riley and Phil Jackson is still a lot worse, but Zhuang Fei is still sitting in the position of the first coach in the NBA, and before Zhuang Fei, the man sitting in this position is precisely Zhuang Fei's current opponent, God operator Pat Riley, the guy who has led the team to the playoffs for 21 consecutive seasons, so this game is also a showdown between the two most popular and top coaches in the NBA, in a way, this round of matchup is not bad than Jordan vs. Carter, Even if you add in other factors such as Boston and Miami, this round of matchups is a little more talked about than the Wizards vs. Grizzlies.

It is precisely because of this that the media seats in the North Shore Gardens are now basically full, in addition to the full media seats, the photographers on the sidelines are definitely too much more than other games. Coupled with the deepening of the playoffs and the arrival of some international media, it can be said that Boston has been much more lively than usual recently. Even in the stands of North Shore Gardens, there were some Celtic fans who weren't your average Celtics

In this game, the Boston Celtics players are still Yao Ming, Jermaine O'Neal and Maddy, and Jackson and James Posey, and in terms of the Heat, their lineup has changed two personnel compared to the previous series, this team's McJames replaced Eddie House as the team's point guard, and in the small forward position, rookie Russell Butler also replaced Bryan Grant, and the scoring guard position is still Quentin Richardson, The 23-year-old young swingman can contribute an average of 18.5 points per game this season is already the outside core of the Heat, and on the inside, this team is still the best interior defensive combination in the league, Mourning and PJ Brown, these two can contribute a total of 31 points, 21 rebounds and 4 blocks per game this season, which can be said to be one of the best interior combinations in the league.

In the media commentary booth of North Shore Gardens, TNT's ace commentator Kenny Smith was introducing the players of these two teams, especially for the Heat who have been adjusting the lineup and tactical system this season, the commentator said a lot, this Heat and Zhuang Fei's Boston Celtics are the opposite in many ways, Zhuang Fei does not want to change his lineup, or the status of the player he has established, this Z coach is unwilling to change easily, and even many people think, In the heart of that Chinese, as long as he has arranged the positions and responsibilities that all players need to assume, other players only need to follow the framework he has arranged, in this case the head coach who has always been considered very enlightened is actually very conservative and closed, and compared to Zhuang Fei, Pat Riley is much more flexible, this team except Mourning, no other player is immovable, even if the team's interior pillar PJ Brown or the team's new outside core Quentin RichardsonAs long as the team needs to change, these players will definitely change differently in terms of position or responsibility, so the Heat, who have been practicing their tactical system this season, are the team that has changed the most in the league, and this Boston Celtics is the complete opposite.

"I'd love to see how Patley plays Coach Z with the No. 5 tactic invented by Coach Z, I swear, it's going to be a lot of fun," said Kenny Smith after introducing all the players on both teams, while his partner, former NBA legend Barkley, said with some excitement, at this time the legend's face was completely unrecognizable that he needed to narrate a game. So Kenny Smith also gave him a roll of the eye after hearing his partner say this. However, after giving Buckley a roll of his eyes, Mr. Smith's face also showed a look of great expectation.

It can be said that in addition to the matchup between the two coaches who are at the peak of the two most popular coaches in NBA history, the most striking thing is naturally the scenario where the two teams use the No. 5 tactic, it can be said that there are only three teams in the league that can use the No. 5 tactic, although there are many other teams that want to try but are not successful, only the Celtics and the Heat are really successful, and the other team that can be used Seattle SuperSonics is still pirated, which can be said to be only half of the deformed derivatives of success, So the confrontation between the No. 5 tactics of these two teams is definitely a fatal attraction to most professionals and coaches in the United States, maybe fans don't care what kind of system a team is, for them as long as the game is wonderful and beautiful, so this game at the North Shore Garden scene is a large number of extraordinary Boston Celtics fans, a large part of which are major NCAA head coaches and coaches or some NBA coaches or head coaches, Even the three biggest coaches in the ACC League, Coach K in North Carolina and Pitino of the University of Maryland, and Mark Allen of Wake Forest came

"It seems that this guy was ready to play the No. 5 tactic from the beginning" Zhuang Fei looked at the lineup of the Heat team on the court and said with a bitter smile, and when Zhuang Fei finished speaking, Green on the side also frowned, he couldn't determine when the Heat played the No. 5 tactic, because this tactic could not become a regular tactic because of the height limit of the center, even if the Celtics, when they encountered some teams with more oppressive inside, in order to control the number of mistakes of the team, The team generally only uses 10 minutes to play such a tactic, and most of the other times are triangle offenses, and the same is true for the Heat, although this team has been successfully studied as the No. 5 tactic, but most of the time is not used for the whole court, for now, Green has not found the law of when the Heat uses the No. 5 tactic, so the assistant coach of the Boston Celtics also had some thoughts after hearing Zhuang Fei's words, because it is obvious that his teacher seems to have found the pattern.

Zhuang Fei doesn't know what Stephen Green is thinking now, at this time, when he sees the three outside lines of the Heat, they are Russell Butler and Big Q, Richardson and McJames, Zhuang Fei knows what Riley wants to do, in fact, there are many powerful role players in the Heat team, these role players are extremely distinctive in Zhuang Fei's opinion, which is why Pat Riley will often change the lineup according to different needs, and McJames, the point guard, Zhuang Fei is extremely familiar, This later generation of Rockets players can break through and shoot, and it can be said that he is a surprise player similar to the weakened version of Arenas, and Quentin Richardson is still a player who can shoot suddenly and has excellent athletic talent, similar to the weakened version of Maddie, as for this year's rookie Russell Butler, Zhuang Fei had an inspection in last year's draft, this rookie three-point is very good, if you have to compare him, this is the Heat's Stephen Jackson. And Zhuang Fei's No. 5 tactic is based on the current Celtic framework, these players appeared. The configuration that the Heat want to be in is the configuration of the No. 5 tactic.

"No wonder you were able to succeed so quickly" At this time, Zhuang Fei also couldn't help but look at the god operator on the other side, this guy is really lucky, and it is not easy for the alliance to really want to collect such a mini version of the No. 5 tactical framework. (To be continued)
