"Oh, nice block, Jermaine's block was brave, it almost hit Carter's hand, this time he wasn't shaken by Carter"

On May 22, 2004, Boston's North Shore Garden, the media commentary booth, Barkley shouted loudly, this game is just the beginning, and he is extremely looking forward to this game, especially when the two teams met last season, there are also a lot of interesting things, such as O'Neal Jr. chasing Carter in the playoffs last year The scene is almost vivid, and in this game, at the beginning, the two who were enemies last year directly faced each other, and with Barkley's shouting, Boston Celtics fans in the North Shore Gardens also stood and shouted.

In the last round of offense, the Boston Celtics jumped the ball successfully and did not score, Yao Ming failed to beat Ben Wallace alone, which also made all the Celtics fans in the stands feel sorry for a while, and after the regret, it is definitely a very uplifting thing to be able to see the team's home inside line to the opponent's home player, for a while, the North Shore Garden Arena almost all shouted O'Neal's name Jr., and in fact, at this time, the Celtics' home inside line himself was also very excited, in last year, Although the Boston Celtics defeated the Grizzlies, that doesn't mean he also beat Carter.

On the contrary, when Carter appeared at the No. 4 position last year, he suffered a complete defeat, and the Boston Celtics really subdued Carter was the pinching of Jackson and Prince, and in fact, this also limited Carter's one, and the effect of such a pinching was also very limited, it can be said that the Boston Celtics defeated the Grizzlies last year, not because they defeated Carter, but because the Grizzlies were short of people at home and abroad, and Boston deliberately hit the weak points of the Grizzlies. As a result, the team had to mobilize Carter to run around to fill in the position. This greatly consumed the energy of the top player, which made the Grizzlies lack explosiveness in the end, and at the same time allowed the Celtics to defeat the Grizzlies and enter the Finals.

And now, this Grizzlies is no longer a team that is in trouble both internally and externally, because of Artest's dedication, Carter does not need to defend and attack in the unexpected line, and he only needs to take on the responsibility of his No. 4 position now, which also allows him to concentrate on one thing. And how powerful Carter is who is focused on doing one thing, O'Neal Jr. is also very clear, although he knows that this is his chance to prove himself or take revenge like Carter, he also knows that this is an opportunity for Carter to humiliate him even more, because Carter at this time will not be just a part-time No. 4 like last season, he is now a complete full-time No. 4 player, in this case, who knows what will happen in the future. But for O's, no matter what happens in the future, the start of the game was not too bad for him, as he blocked Carter's shot on his first defense.

"I won't let you score easily this time," O'Neal Jr. looked at the first person in the league in front of him who was ready to receive his teammates' baseline ball, and at this time, Carter also glanced at O'Neal Jr., and then only the corners of his mouth moved slightly. There seems to be some nonchalant smiles, which also makes Xiao Ao, who has been paying attention to Carter's face, indignant, which shows that Carter didn't take his wonderful defense seriously. Of course, it doesn't matter if Carter takes his defense seriously this time. It was all a good defense for Celtic, with 4s left in the game. Finally blocking the opponent can basically declare the success of this defense.

In fact, when the Grizzlies sent the baseline ball directly to Billups, the Grizzlies' leading point guard directly did not adjust the position within one step of the three-point line and directly pulled out the shot, and such a result is naturally conceivable, after Yao Ming received the rebound, it represents the failure of the Grizzlies' offense, for the Grizzlies' two interior lines, when the two sides stand in position, it is difficult for them to grab the frontcourt rebound, so such a shot failure can only be an offensive failure. And when Yao Ming, who grabbed the rebound, threw the basketball to Wade, the Boston Celtics' offense began again

"Zhuang, this time they actually played full on the offensive end? Are they so confident in their positional attack? ”

The Boston Celtics bench, the assistant coach of the Boston Celtics, Sibodeau, looked at the Grizzlies on the court in surprise, this is a tactic that surprised him, for the Grizzlies, this team is unable to have a high advantage on the inside because of the twin towers Wallace and Carter, but in turn, this team has the advantage of speed, although the Celtics twin towers Yao Ming and Xiao Ao are not slow, but compared to Ben Wallace and Carter is definitely incomparable, in this case, In fact, in the eyes of many people, the best choice for this team is to play fast, and in fact, this team likes to play fast when they played the Wizards in the last round, although when they played the Wizards in the last round, they were a combination of fast and slow to control the rhythm, but more than they were willing to run up and play.

But from the current first round, this team can obviously raise the speed to play an attack before Yao Ming returns to defend after Yao Ming's attack fails, but these people did not do this, but slowly waited until Yao Ming came back, handed the ball to Carter, and let Carter sit and play Xiao Ao, which also caused Carter to be blocked by Xiao Ao. This was a complete defeat in Xibodu's view. It's just obvious that for a team that can reach the Eastern Conference Finals, Thibodo also doesn't think that this team's tactical literacy will be so low, this is a team that can play fast with the bombardment team, why play slow at this time?

"They are not confident in their positional attack, but they are very confident in their positional attack and positional defense" It's just that Xibodu finished speaking, and Zhuang Fei on the side directly said his answer, and at this time, Xibodu on the other side looked at Zhuang Fei directly stunned, confident in his positional defense? Although he didn't come to this team last year and didn't know the specific situation of this team's game with the Grizzlies, although he didn't have much opportunity to get to know the Grizzlies in the Clippers, this year he was more dealing with the establishment of the team's defensive system and didn't have much opportunity to stand directly next to Zhuang Fei and follow Zhuang Fei, but in his impression, he was still confident in his positional defense at this height, even in those Grizzlies' previous playoff videos, he didn't see the source of this team's confidence. It's just that before Xibodu came back to his senses, Zhuang Fei pointed to the court at him.

"This is a 2-1-2 defense?" Thibodo was speechless as he watched the Grizzlies on the court defend 2-1-2.

"yes, it's a 2-1-2 defense, and the Grizzlies are 2-1-2 against us, is it a surprise?" Zhuang Fei said with a smile, and Xibodu nodded with some hesitation, the 2-1-2 league can limit the opponent's breakthrough very well, because this joint defense is basically all positions where the players are evenly distributed in the three-point line, so it can block the breakthrough of almost any position, this is one of the best defensive tactics in the face of their own Celtics 1-4 tactics, and the shortcomings of this tactic are not nothing, the frontal three-point shot and basket are the shortcomings, as long as the Celtics players go to sit in the low post, there is almost no possibility of helping defense, If your interior one-man defense ability is not good, this is almost a defense that will be blown up by the opponent, and if a team comes up with this tactic, it is either that they have no confidence in their interior line, or they have great confidence in their interior line, it is clear that the Grizzlies definitely belong to the latter.

In order to block the Celtics' 1-4 tactics, this team chose to let Ben Wallace and Yao Ming or Carter and Xiao Ao go directly one-on-one, of course, if the Celtics are willing to put cold arrows on the outside, it is also okay. It's just that for any team, it's acceptable if it's really shot to death by the opponent's three-point shot, but it's clear that for the Celtics' current starter, the outside players, whether Wade or Jackson or Maddy, are not the kind of people who can shoot them, in this case, basically Carlisle is directly handing over the victory or defeat of this game to Carter and Ben Wallace. This is also absolute confidence in these two.

Xiao Ao's strength is very strong, which Thibodo naturally knows, especially the singles ability, especially his back-to-back attack near the baseline is a must in the league, especially this trick in one-on-one when Thibodo really doesn't know who else in the league can stop him except Garnett and Duncan, after all, there are not many people in the league who can keep up with him in strength and footwork, as well as skill and awareness.

It's just that Xibodu is a little surprised that this time offensively, Xiao Ao took the initiative to ask for the ball, obviously he took the initiative to abuse Carter in his most comfortable position, but the final result was that the Celtics' master inside line was not able to turn around, and generally the inside line will use two techniques, one is to turn around with pure footsteps and use his own steps to turn faster than others, and the other is to use strength and block to squeeze the opponent out of balance and turn around, but obviously, this time Xiao Ao did not complete these two conventional turns, He didn't take advantage of his feet and power this time, and when the Celtic's interior finally had to use his height to force a step-back and turnaround jumper, it almost represented the Celtic's interior singles failure. And when he turned around, Carter sat in the low post again, and when he turned around and made a layup with a back almost the same as Xiao Ao, Thibodu on the sidelines was speechless again.

It's almost a repeat of last season's when Carter played the No. 4 position, but the difference is that this game will have to face such an opponent for the whole game.

"So, if it were me, I would be like Carlisle" In the end, Zhuang Fei also smiled appreciatively and looked at the Grizzlies head coach on the other side, this is a very good coach, and it is also the 'young NBA coach' that Zhuang Fei admires the most, although he is older than Zhuang Fei.

At this time, Xibodu on the side also frowned after listening to Zhuang Fei's words. (To be continued.) )
