Chapter 443: Iverson's Way (Yesterday Wednesday)
Doug Rivers said the same, but Kevin Garnett immediately executed it, and quickly ordered Rajon Rondo to force Douglas on the court for a while, and he must control the Knicks' running from the source.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Rajon Rondo took back all the defensive attention that was originally placed on Yang Mo and began to pursue Douglas from halftime. Douglas was pressed like this, and his speed quickly slowed down, and as soon as his speed slowed down, the efficiency of the fast break was directly broken, and it was completely useless. Even if the other four quickly ran to the frontcourt, the ball couldn't pass, and they still ran in vain.
When the Knicks' lineup could not start the fast offensive mode, it naturally fell into paralysis, and could only watch the Celtics get what they wanted, and after the two impacts failed to increase the speed, Yang Mo decisively changed the lineup, let Milishich Turiav play, and at the same time put Chandler and Larry Hughes on the court.
Hughes and Chandler came up, naturally strengthening the breakthrough, while Turyaf and Milicic protected the rebound. As for Yang Mo, he still attracts the attention of the Celtics' defense.
Chandler and Hughes were also quite aggressive, and their breakaways caused great damage when Yang Mo used off-ball runs to clamp down on most of the defensive attention. And just like that, soon, the Knicks saved the game and stabilized the lead.
The anxious situation between the two sides remained until the end of halftime, and the Celtics never changed their moves, and their defensive focus seemed to be always on Yang Mo. Doug Rivers' on-the-spot reaction ability seems to have been frozen suddenly, and he relied on the three-board axe to keep entanglement with the Knicks, if it weren't for the Celtics' players being strong enough, it is estimated that they would have collapsed long ago.
In the next third quarter, the Celtics still focused on defending Yang Mo. And Yang Mo still doesn't participate in the offense, he just constantly adjusts his tactics, habitually goes up and down, and uses a changeable lineup to get a tactical advantage. In other words, he is using all kinds of changes to change. In the case of inferior strength. That's all he could do.
That continued into the fourth quarter, in fact, until eight minutes were left before the end of the game. Doug Rivers, who pondered the whole game, suddenly woke up when he accidentally looked up and found that the Knicks were unknowingly leading by 13 points.
He hurried over to the technical desk. took a real-time data sheet, and took a closer look, the Knicks had six double-doubles, but Yang Mo only scored 7 points. In this case, you shouldn't defend at all, you should spread out your defensive energy, and wait until Super-Yang really breaks out to defend. And. To deal with this kind of single-star team, you should let his star cast to block the connection between him and other players. It's like dealing with Iverson back then, cutting him off from the rest of his teammates, and no matter how many points he can score, he won't be able to win.
Drip!
Doug Rivers hurriedly asked for a timeout, and he quickly called the team down: "Guys, we're fooled. We went in the wrong direction from the start. We should give up our defense against Super-Yang, cut him off from other players, make him a loner, let him score, and no matter how many points he scores, he won't be able to save the Knicks. β
Doug Rivers said, and quickly made a careful deployment of the defense, in general, it was to strengthen the strict defense of other players and strategically give up the defense of Yang Mo.
Yang Mo obviously didn't expect Doug Rivers to suddenly give up at the last minute after strictly guarding himself for almost the entire game. So. During the timeout, he constantly encouraged his teammates to attack and let them take his place in the battle.
Soon, the whistle blew and the game continued.
When the game resumes. The defending champion Celtics quickly played a wonderful combination, Rajon Rondo used Garnett to break through to the restricted area, and suddenly an outside pass handed the basketball to Pierce at the top of the three-point line, Pierce caught the ball a little, and quickly attracted two players to wrap it up. At this time, he used a hidden back pass to Ray Allen in the bottom corner, and Ray Allen received the ball and threw it...... Swish! A nice three-pointer.
This combination is too easy for the Celtics, they have long been accustomed to each other's existence, and they can play a dozen or twenty such combinations in a game. These old guys are so shrewd that they know better than anyone how to score the most effectively with more economical power.
Ray Allen's goal narrowed the score to 10, a dangerous lead, and with more than seven minutes left in the game, it wasn't enough for the Knicks to rest easy, given that they were the defending champions.
Coming to the frontcourt, Tracy Madty received the ball and quickly opened up the fight, and as soon as he was about to play alone, Pierce and Rondo wrapped him up with lightning speed, and then snatched his ball away at the first time.
Rondo snatched the basketball and was just about to launch a fast attack, but he found a black shadow flashing in front of him, and when he looked at it, Yang Mo had already run past half the court, at this time, it was almost impossible for him to break fast, so he could only slowly suppress the rhythm.
Rondo lowered his tempo to the front court and immediately organized his team-mates to run, and as the Celtics were running, he suddenly threw the ball into the sky. Seeing this, Yang Mo secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly ran to the penalty area, who knew that as soon as he ran, he was blocked by Rashid Wallace, and when he bypassed Wallace, Garnett had already caught it empty.
No way, these old fritters are really too shrewd, they play every ball so reasonably, although the pace of the game is dull and draggy, but they hardly make mistakes, this is where the danger lies.
Back in the frontcourt, Chandler tried to single Rashid Wallace, who knows, as soon as he got the ball, Pierce, who was supposed to defend Yang Mo, gave up Yang Mo again and sandwiched it. Chandler was physically stronger than Tracy Maddie, and in the face of the bag, he quickly threw the ball out and was held by Douglas. Douglas received the ball, broke through quickly, and he was just starting to encounter the bag again.
When Yang Mo saw this situation, he immediately understood. Quickly shouted, "Give me the ball!" β
When Douglas heard this, he wanted to pass the ball, but it was too late, and Rajon Rondo had already pulled the ball through with his long gibbon-like hands, and then threw a long flick to the front court. Lei Allen, who was waiting on the side, quickly rushed over, and Yang Mo hurriedly chased after him desperately, but by the time he was about to catch up, Lei Allen had already thrown the three-point shot in a strange posture...... Swish!
Basketball goes to the net!
In an instant, the difference was reduced to five points.
Drip!
Yang Mo decisively asked for a timeout.
In just one minute, the Celtics recovered eight points, and if they didn't pause, they had to be taken away by a wave.
"The Celtics suddenly changed their defensive strategy. Were they all paralyzing the Knicks before? Or are they deliberately releasing water??? Collins, the narrator of TN-T, said with some annoyance.
"I suspect they're teaming up with Kevin Durant to play super-yang. You see, they've been wrapping up Yang before, trying to get Yang to score less, so as to achieve Kevin Durant's goal of surpassing Super-Yang in the scoring list. Now, Kevin Durant over there has scored 50 points, so they don't feel the need to wrap Super-Yang anymore. So they started to let go of the super-yang defense. Barkley speculated with a disdainful face: "I really didn't expect the Celtics to be so insidious." β
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. There's no reason for Doug Rivers to help Kevin Durant. Kenny Smith said.
"Anyway, Super-Yang is not so easy to surpass, I can guarantee that within three games, Super-Yang will be able to surpass it back." Charles Barkley swore that he was full of confidence in Yang Mo.
"Now that the game over there is over, Kevin Durant's final score is 55 points. If Young's score does not reach 36 points in this game, then the second place in the scoring list will be temporarily stolen by Kevin Durant. With just over seven minutes left in the game, is it possible for Young to score 29 points in the next game? This is obviously somewhat unrealistic. Collins said lightly, he thinks Kevin Durant's overtaking of Yang Mo is a foregone conclusion. There can be no more variables.
"It's not completely hopeless, he's a super-yang!" Barkley is also obviously a little lacking in confidence, and it is indeed a bit outrageous to score 29 points in seven minutes. Even Chamberlain didn't have the ability to do this.
At the same time, Yang Mo had already made a targeted arrangement on the bench: "The Celtics are definitely going to cut off your contact with me now, since they want to do this, we will simply cut ourselves." MiliΕ‘iΔ, Turyaf. Jeffries and Tony Allen, you follow me. Turiaf, your job on the offensive end is to block for me, Tony, your job is to do it for me. Always ready to take my passes. Jeffries, you're in charge of running around, and you're going to create the illusion that you really want to score. Milicic, you're ready to take my ball and dunk at any time. This is what everyone needs to do on the offensive end, and as for the defensive end, I won't say much about it, everyone has a tacit understanding. β
Yang Mo made this substitution adjustment, and Stein next to him whispered: "Yang, are you going to use LeBron James's way to complete the game?" β
"No, in Iverson's way." Yang Mo smiled slightly and said with great confidence.
Iverson's way?
Stein was slightly puzzled, and then it dawned on him that it was indeed Iverson's way. Speaking of which, he and Larry Brown still have a mentoring relationship, Larry Brown did have a similar lineup for Iverson back then, but the point guard of the 76ers at that time was McGee, and the center was Mutombo, although the center and point guard positions were not as good as the 76ers back then. But defensively, Stein doesn't think it's a loss to the Seven-Six at all.
The 76ers were the only team that could beat the Lakers.
