Chapter 790: Three Points for a Maniac

(This year's finals Spurs play the Heat gives people the feeling that there is no player who can dominate the crowd, and then the magical Danny Green staged a grassroots legend, the three-point and offense were justified again, Popovich's ability to adjust the offense is not weaker than his adjusted defense, and the development of basketball in the future will be accelerated, and the offense will be outside)

"Finally back in Los Angeles, the next three games, the Lakers can't afford to lose every game, every game needs to be won, otherwise this year's Finals will be explained"

June 14, 2004, Los Angeles, Staples Arena, this is the third game of the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers finals this year, and it is also the most important game for the Lakers, this game this team must win, if this one loses, even Phil Jackson himself does not know what to do, not long ago he swore to reporters that unless the team is 0-3 behind, he is not worried at all, if the team is really 0-3 behind, In fact, he can not worry about it at all.

Of course, this is just Phil Jackson's official language, for the true meaning of this game, everyone understands very well, including the Magic Johnson sitting in the commentary scene, the greatest player in the history of the Lakers is also worried at this time, obviously, at this time he is not very at ease with the strength of his team, especially after the first two games are called a big defeat, of course, for this game, the Celtics who came to challenge away must be at a disadvantage, However, what he has always worried about is the long-term consideration, and he is not very comfortable with the Lakers in the long run.

"The Celtics' home court has always been very stable, and the Lakers really need to get the court on their home court and then fight for one game in Boston if they want to win, but according to the previous two teams, it is not easy to complete a three-game winning streak against the Celtics. It probably hasn't happened, if the Lakers and Phil Jackson can really do that. It makes sense that they won the championship or they could justifiably say that they are the strongest team in the history of the league, but of course, it will take two teams to know after they have played."

On the side of the Magic, Larry Bird, a famous man of the Boston Celtics, also said with a smile, compared with the Magic, he is much easier now, and the Celtics' current 2-0 is almost the foundation of the championship, unless the Lakers lose three games in a row, otherwise this year's championship is basically the Celtics. In this case, he has no reason to be unhappy, and in fact, since he met Zhuang Fei, he really hasn't heard of someone winning Zhuang Fei three games in a row, isn't this year's Lakers and Phil Jackson very strong? In this year's regular season, Zhuang Fei was killed twice, but in the third game of the two encounters, the Eastern All-Stars led by Zhuang Fei easily defeated the Western All-Stars, who were seen to be stronger by the outside world, and still did not allow Phil Jackson to have a chance to beat him three times in a row.

From this point of view, Zhuang Fei is indeed extremely reassuring, of course, although so. For all teams, victory is played one game at a time, so at this time, although Larry Bird is very relaxed in his heart, he does not have much other expression, at this time in the Lakers in the territory of Magic Johnson, he is still very aware of this situation.

Of course. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird as today's commentators They have their own understanding of the game, and as participants in this game, Zhuang Fei is a bit of a media lock at this time, and at this time Zhuang Fei has been staring at a Lakers player Fan Maniac who is warming up on the court. The Lakers player who performed the best in this round of the Finals.

In fact, Zhuang Fei is also fully prepared for the difficulties faced by his team in the away game, including some off-field factors that may be encountered, or the factors that players need to adapt to the stadium or other factors in the home stadium. But more often these things exist objectively, sometimes the coach can't change too much, such as the impact of the home team's fan shouts when away, such as the reason why the away team players are not familiar with the stadium and the hit rate is not high, these are all things that every away team must experience, it is unavoidable, it is impossible to change too much, it can only be slightly adjusted, for example, in order to overcome the problem of the away team's hitting rate, most away teams will not choose long-distance attack at the beginning, Instead, choose to grasp the bigger under-basket offense, if possible.

And in fact, in addition to these objective things that are difficult to change, there are also some subjective things, such as the opposing coach's arrangement, which can change a lot, and how the Lakers will change Zhuang Fei in this game is actually very curious, after all, the team's performance in the last game was a little bad, in this case, it is impossible for this team to defend the attack launched by the block, and what kind of changes this team will make at this time is indeed very attractive, In fact, whenever he saw Fan Maniac and Ao Fat warming up, Zhuang Fei understood the layout of this Laker's game.

Fan Maniac is going to mention the starter, the super scorer who broke the Finals three-point shooting record in the first game of the Finals, and threw 8 three-pointers in one of the first two games and 4 three-pointers in the first two games, is extremely open when facing the Boston Celtics, and in fact, the Boston Celtics' defensive system will keep Jackson close to Jackson when defending Szebiak, and the defense of other Lakers players is zoned, which can also maintain the integrity of the Celtics' defensive system, in this case, Most of the other Celtics players have some recycling tendencies, although the Celtics players have good defensive mobility, but Fan Maniac throws one step or two or even three steps away from the three-point line, Zhuang Fei and the Celtics players also have no way to take him, in this case, the Lakers' guard player The first two games are also the only point in the Lakers that the Celtics can't defend, and it is also the best point.

In fact, Fan Maniac's frenzy in the face of the Celtics also made Zhuang Fei very clear that a big problem with his team's defensive system was that there were loopholes in the face of these players with extremely unreasonable playing styles. Of course, with any serious defensive system, they will always think about how to face the regular situation, and no one will think about how to defend a two-step or three-step shot from beyond the three-point line.

"Coach, it seems that Phil Jackson wants Fan Maniac to tear up our defensive system and then create space for O'Neal and them, but does he believe in Fan Maniac's defense so much? Tracy is 20 centimeters taller than him."

When the warm-up of the two teams was over, when the starters of the two teams stood on the court, Stephen Green, the assistant coach of the team on Zhuang Fei's side, also asked with some curiosity, under normal circumstances, Fan Maniac is indeed able to pull the Celtics' defensive space, but in the same way, on the defensive end, he will definitely be beaten by Maddie, this is for sure, Maddie is a little scared of Kobe, it does not mean that he will be afraid of a player like Fan Maniac who is only 1.85 meters, in this case, if Fan Maniac has not yet pulled away the Celtics defense, The Lakers themselves were beaten by Maddy, and that's interesting. In fact, for Maddie, who is comfortable with any offense and defense, it is easy to play Fan Maniac.

"Phil Jackson should be forcing us to change our original intentions" Zhuang Fei also pointed to the Lakers' two inside lines on the court with his right hand after hearing Green's doubts, and Green also nodded slightly after seeing Ao Fat and Ma Long, the inside line of this game will be very crowded, this is the Celtics' away game, Zhuang Fei's tactics are to cultivate the feel and let the inside main attack play inside, and Phil Jackson's starting adjustment is to let Zhuang Fei attack more Maddie, but a choice to play from the outside in, In addition to the thickness of the Lakers' interior line, it is very difficult for Maddie to hit the basket, in this case, his offense will be a large medium and long-range shot, and Phil Jackson is forcing the Boston Celtics to open the situation with a shot in his first away game, in fact, this is a small conspiracy of Phil Jackson, that is, to put your strongest point, do you dare to shoot.

"Coach, are we going to do it? Should this game start with a shot? "Green's understanding is very good, Zhuang Fei hardly needs any explanation, he understands what Zhuang Fei means.

"Why not? Now Maddie's shooting is good, you can give it a try" Just after Zhuang Fei finished speaking, Zhuang Fei shouted directly to Maddie in the court, and at this time, Phil Jackson in front of the bench on the other side of the court also glanced at Zhuang Fei deeply, and then also focused on the court again

"Surprisingly adjusted, the Boston Celtics didn't change much, and the Lakers took Kobe Bryant off the starting lineup, and it looks like Phil Jackson is going to attack completely in this game. Fan. Axel's shooting made him trust him more, and I think Phil Jackson should value his range and three-point shooting, and Kobe Bryant is far inferior in this regard."

When the game started, Celtics legend Larry Bird on the commentary bench also looked at the scene on the court with some surprise and said, it was obvious that he was very surprised by Kobe Bryant's play on the bench.

"Phil Jackson is a good idea, this game is the home game of the Lakers, for the Lakers they don't need to think too much about defensive problems, at home they have more advantage on offense, if this game Nick. Fan. Axel's offense and shooting are opened, so that the Celtics' defensive system has a hole, then the Lakers will play this game well, and Shaq will not play so hard, but I don't know that Nick. Fan. Will Exel be able to take on this responsibility?" said the magician in the end, also a little worried, he agreed with Phil Jackson's idea, but this time he was worried about the outcome of Phil Jackson.

"You're worried about Nick. Fan. Exel's shooting percentage, but he's still pretty accurate in this year's finals."

"I hope so" (to be continued.) )
