Chapter 630: Methods of Restraint

May 27, 2003, Vancouver, General Motors Arena, as usual, whenever Vancouver plays at home, this Canadian city may be as suffocating as a carnival, a city that is usually leisurely and leisurely immediately became a place like a crater, and as the center of the crater, the General Motors Arena, which is still firmly occupied by Grizzly Bear fans, is all Vancouver's home stadium at a glance, and at this time, The madness of this group of Canadians may also confirm the consensus of everyone in the NBA, which has the most terrifying home court in the NBA in recent years, and this is when Zhuang Fei needs to lead his Boston Celtics to face the Vancouver Grizzlies who defeated them in the previous game on this home court.

"Kenny, who do you think the two teams will win this game? Three days ago, the outside world was unanimously optimistic about the Boston Celtics, and now they are all supporting the Vancouver Grizzlies, which is really a headache, when did these media become so realistic, I don't dare to read basketball reviews now, these guys are so demagogic, whether the Grizzlies win or the Celtics win, they can always find their reasons, they will never be losers"

TNT's national live broadcast during this game, and as TNT's basketball ace commentators, Kenny Smith and Barkley will naturally not be absent, but before the game started, Barkley did not introduce some specific details of the game as usual, nor did he mention what the highlights of this game were, but he actually complained about the recent wall riding incident of the American basketball media in front of the TV camera, and the rapid change in the faces of these American basketball media in one day is simply outrageous, Even the retired football superstar can't help it, for many people, although the Internet has become very popular now, most fans are also used to paying attention to game commentary and news in media newspapers, and the same is true of Barkley, he is a basketball practitioner, it can be said that he is different from ordinary fans.

But this superstar is not much different from fans in other areas such as tactics or real professional basketball theory, in this case, it is naturally impossible for him to write a column for others like Kenny Smith, maybe in the future, but now he is just a person who reads columns, but it is obvious that the recent confusion in the American media or the contradiction between the preface and the afterword has made many people inappropriate, perhaps it has made many people confused, and it will be the Boston Celtics who will win, It will be the Vancouver Grizzlies who will win, and they can actually say a lot of truth between the two conversions, which is absolutely incredible and helpless, at least Barkley feels helpless but also incredible.

These guys look shameless now, but Barkley can't believe the Grizzlies who are behind 1-2 in the outside world, so he is willing to listen to his partner. It's just that after Barkley asked this question, Kenny Smith's performance on his side may also disappoint him, because the former Rockets role player is also like those media pundits outside at this time, and he has not been able to give him a satisfactory answer.

"Well, it should be about the same, it should be about the same for now, the Boston Celtics are one game ahead, but the Grizzlies are leading in terms of the trend, and it should be about the same in this situation, so it's hard to judge"

For Barkley's question, Kenny Smith is difficult to answer, the two hottest things outside the NBA recently are the NBA's godfather door and the reporter's riding door, it can be said that in the case of the outside world unanimously optimistic about the Grizzlies, if he supports the Boston Celtics in front of the national audience, then it will be a tragedy to hit the face, if at this time it is said that the Grizzlies can win, then the former Rockets player subconsciously shook his head when he saw the back of the Chinese, he really didn't think that his Chinese would lose, In this case, the TNT commentator can only do this, even if he clearly feels Buckley's disappointment, he can only answer like this, and even the TNT's ace commentator is still wondering if Barkley is playing a trick on him, he knows very well that this fat man is not honest and absolutely not stupid, but at this time Kenny Smith really misunderstood Barkley.

This game was very weird before the game, originally 2-0 in public opinion, when the Boston Celtics were leading, the United States sided with the Boston Celtics, but at this time, the situation was fully reversed after a game and a day, in this case, it is difficult for many people to adapt, because there is really no such thing in the history of the NBA, and the American media is still very disciplined in the past, It's just that such an undisciplined thing can blind a large group of people when it first appears, although Barkley is very dissatisfied, but looking at the players on the court who have warmed up, they finally frowned and shook their heads to throw this matter out of their minds, and at this time, the starting lineups of the two teams appeared on the computer in front of them, and the two teams had already discharged their starting lineups in this game, and when this starting lineup appeared, These two TNT commentators are directly stupid.

"This is the starting lineup for the Boston Celtics? What about Yao Ming? Why is there no Yao Ming? Almost immediately, Kenny Smith blurted out in surprise, and at this time Barkley on his side is not much better, although Yao Ming is still an ordinary player in the mainstream circle of the NBA, but basically everyone agrees on the fact that this player is not only able to enter the NBA starting lineup by virtue of the vast Chinese market, this is a very strong player, and it can even be said that it is one of the only two cores of the Boston Celtics tacticsIn a way, it's not even worse than Maddie, and maybe a little more important.

After all, the Boston Celtics have three main regular systems, Yao Ming as the core has two sets, and Maddie is just one set, in this case, the Boston Celtics removed the center from the sofa lineup on behalf of the team to give up their two sets of regular play, can only bet on Maddy's personal triangle offense, although this round of series Maddy's triangle offense has always been the mainstream tactics of the Boston Celtics, but it is not the only tactical system, for now, after Yao Ming is off the court, Maddie really became the only system player.

If the Grizzlies can sacrifice Carter's offense at this time to let him choke Maddie, if they can really choke Maddie, the Boston Celtics' offense is likely to be directly scrapped, of course, for the purpose of Zhuang Fei's change, although these people can't know, but they can also guess a rough idea, Yao Ming's defense and movement are hard injuries, the last game Boston Celtics were blown up by Carter from the inside to the outside so badly In addition to the perimeter defender Jackson was blown up, Yao Ming on the inside also has great responsibility, Because his defensive supplement is not timely, it is basically for Xiao Ao to be alone in the face of Carter, in this case, any defense without a pinch attack can not pose much threat to Carter at this time, even if the defense is first-class Xiao Ao, the same is true of Xiao Ao, originally under the rules of basketball, the attacker will take the initiative than the defender, plus the outside line that has rushed up is the initiative in the initiative, not to mention that the outside line that rushed up is still called the first Carter who broke through after the last game, In this case, Zhuang Fei's decision to sacrifice the team's offense in exchange for defense can be understood, although this change is a change that can be understood, but it is also a very risky change, Yao Ming can't do it, others can't do it?

Without Yao Ming's inside containment, Ben Wallace would have more room to sweep, and what would happen to the Boston Celtics' vaunted outside line? What if this Mr. Ben Wallace went to wrap up Maddie because he had no one to pay attention to? You know, Maddie's triangle offense is mainly related to the inside, not the outside, in Maddy's system, as the main offense has always been the inside player, so no matter how you look at it, it is a contradictory choice.

And what's even more unbelievable is that even if Coach Z took Yao Ming down, the player he replaced was not Kirilenko, who had excellent defensive ability, but Prince, who was played by Carter in 12 minutes of the last game, who was Prince? Perhaps not familiar to most fans and experts in the league, the player who was drafted by the Celtics at the end of this season's lottery has limited playing time this season, and his natural contribution is also limited, plus this player is mainly a pitcher role in the second team, so in the eyes of many people, he is a little more than Barnes in terms of playing time per game and a little higher points per game than Barnes, and there is nothing different from Barnes in other aspects, just an ordinary garbage role player who can't be skinny anymore.

Some people even think that this Prince is still Zhuang Fei's only relatively unsuccessful work in the NBA draft, but another first-round pick this year, Haslem is considered famous and recognized after the last round of the series against Mourning, as long as there are no major injuries, even if Haslem leaves the Boston Celtics, he can easily get a job, just like Ben Wallace at the beginning, this is a certified player, and Prince is not a certified player, As a role player, he hasn't found his role yet. In this case, Zhuang Fei got such a role player who has not yet been certified, which makes people a little speechless no matter how you look at it. Although these two TNT commentators didn't dare to say that Zhuang Fei was not at this time, it was obvious that these two people strongly disagreed with Zhuang Fei's change.

"Center Jermaine O'Neal, big forward Jackson, well, that's right, it's Jackson, small forward Prince, scoring guard Maddy, playmaking guard James Posey, if you look at it in terms of height, although they are one big and four small, but their overall height is still higher than that of the Grizzlies, however, from the perspective of position, a lineup of a big forward with four small forwards should never have appeared in NBA history, if Jermaine is removed and replaced by Kirilenko, So will Coach Z play the same five-forward tactics that Pat Riley did in the last round? ”

Finally, after a short period of distraction, Barkley, who has been reacting very quickly, also said with some jokes that Patrari's five small forward theories did work well in some ways in the last round of the series under the praise of Zhuang Fei and this theory, so this is different from the old Nelson's run-and-shoot system, and another run-and-shoot system can be regarded as a big talk, at least recently I heard that there have been NCAA head coaches who have begun to study this theory, which also makes Pat Riley's status in the coaching world rise a lot. At least in the eyes of the academy coach, he and the head coach of the Lakers are no longer at the same level. Of course, at this time, Barkley brought up this matter purely to make fun of Zhuang Fei's impermanence, this guy likes scientific experiments more than old Nelson.

"I think maybe, I don't have anything to say about him, because there is no way to say" Kenny Smith couldn't hear what his partner meant, but at this time, the TNT commentator also said directly here, for him, he has no way to predict what Zhuang Fei's next move will be, because from the beginning, when Zhuang Fei went to Prince, it was already impossible to guess his next step. In fact, there are many people who are as entangled as Kenny Smith, such as the two in front of the Grizzlies bench.

"Rick, do you know why?" Jerry West looked at Carlisle blankly, Zhuang Fei will remove a big man, this is possible, in the previous game, that guy also removed three cores, but why is it not Kirilenko but Prince, in any aspect Kirilenko is stronger than Prince, especially in terms of co-defense, although this guy has been fouling a lot, and the single-man defensive skills are not first-class, but he is the league's first-class or even top co-defender, which is also in line with the concept of this small lineup, It's just that in the end, it's the rookie.

"I don't know, maybe he thinks that this game is not for the team's defensive speed" Carlisle finally said with a bitter face, this Chinese is definitely the most bizarre coach he has encountered in his short coaching career, a person who can never guess his next step, such a person is also the most terrifying.

"Why don't you want to be a small lineup in terms of defensive speed? Furnishings? Although Jerry West asked again suspiciously, and at this time Carlisle was directly speechless.

As for Zhuang Fei on the other side, when he looked at the beginning of the game, the corners of his mouth showed a small arc. (To be continued.)
