(Crazy for a monthly pass)

"Larry, you're right, this game is really too much fun, whether it's the Celtics or the Wizards."

In the media commentary booth of Boston's North Shore Garden, ABC commentator Michaels said excitedly to his partner Larry Bird that this game has become completely interesting since the Wizards replaced such a strange Jordan to play center tactics in the middle of the second quarter, and it can be said that after D'Antoni's change, the Wizards reversed the decline on the court in one fell swoop.

Originally, in the previous game, the Wizards were at an absolute disadvantage in both offense and defense, but after this change, this Wizard has become more fluid on the offensive end, and there is no problem even when attacking and defending the position, Nash and Jordan have all kinds of blocking and dismantling, and the Celtics can no longer pinch Nash alone as before, and more importantly, Jordan's speed is now not fast for the outside, But as a player in the fifth position, there is no problem at all, it can be said that this makes it extremely difficult for Yao Ming of the Celtics to defend Jordan and Nash's blocking and dismantling, and Marion in the fourth position is often pulled outside the three-point line, so Xiao Ao's assistant defense is also a little difficult, and, in addition to his own offense, Jordan's ability to respond to the ball is indeed extremely good, and he is also comfortable in the position of the offensive axis, it can be said that the offense of the Wizards team is extremely smooth in this change.

And the most surprising thing is. This team has improved defensively as it has become fluid and efficient offensively. At least Jordan's defense of Yao Ming is better than that of Haywood, although this god is as tall as Yao Ming. But this great god can always appear on Yao Ming's starting line, in the face of Jordan's defense, Yao Ming almost didn't even adjust when attacking, as long as the big man was ready to dribble and adjust, he would basically be stealed, which forced the center with excellent dribbling skills to play the role of receiving and shooting when attacking, and even when Yao Ming was receiving and shooting. The Jordan god will use his low center of gravity to top Yao Ming in the lower body to force the big man to be unstable when shooting.

It can be said that Yao Ming was extremely uncomfortable in the face of Jordan's defense, and it was obvious that this big man had never encountered such a short player, such a good defensive awareness, and also extremely good defensive skills in his career, less than two meters, so in the next game, Yao Ming completely lost his rhythm in terms of attacking himself or organizing the team to respond to the ball. After all, he is a rookie player, no matter how mature he is, he still suffers extremely much in the face of old fritters like Jordan, so with Yao Ming's downturn, all the strategies that the Celtics arranged before this game collapsed.

After all, Zhuang Fei set Yao Ming as the core of the team in this game, and the Boston Celtics also focused on this point in this game, but this point finally had such a problem, which made the team slowly chased by the Wizards in the second half of the second quarter, and although Zhuang Fei also called a few timeouts to rearrange some strategies, the effect was not obvious. In the end, in the case of various adjustments ineffective, the Celtics were finally overtaken by the Wizards in the end, which was a blow to the Celtics, but it was good news for the Wizards, and it was the best result to be able to enter the locker room with a lead, in which case the Wizards would also control the situation in the second half of this game.

At halftime, the Celtics were passive, which was inevitable, with the Wizards and the Celtics forming a misalignment difference, and the misalignment advantage was on the Wizards' side. If Zhuang Fei can't find a way to make up for this gap at halftime, then the Celtics are really likely to lose this game, and even the entire series. It's just that it is difficult for this Celtics team to find an immediate solution to such a problem, and even the Celtics fans at the scene are a little worried in disbelief. …,

To everyone's surprise, after halftime, Zhuang Fei and his Celtics not only solved the problem, but also once again took the initiative of the game into their own hands.

"I really didn't expect Coach Z to figure out a solution so quickly, and it was so simple and crude, just like he did when he faced the Cavaliers in the first round," Michaels said with a sigh as he looked at the fiercely contested sides on the court.

At the beginning of the second half of this game, Zhuang Fei not only removed Yao Ming, who was completely blown up by Jordan in the first half of the game, but also removed Xiao Ao, but replaced it with the team's best sixth man Arenas and the team's super defensive forward Kirilenko, after the start of the second half of this game, it was obvious that the Celtics played a small lineup like the Wizards, Kirilenko played the fifth position, James Posey was the fourth position against Marion, and Arenas was the first position against Nash, and after the start of this game, The Celtics' small lineup is still playing one-on-one expansion and pressing the marker defense.

The mobility of the Celtics' small lineup is too strong, and the expansion of this team's tight man-to-man defense makes the Wizards extremely uncomfortable, in fact, the Wizards' five players on the court, whether it is Jordan, Marion, Crawford, Hamilton or Nash, all have very good ball control ability, for a team with such a player, there should not be a lot of mistakes when they are forced to be marked, and surprisingly they really made a lot of mistakes in this game, This kind of turnover is not the result of what they thought was a breakthrough or some other individual action, and the Wizards' large number of turnovers in the second half were caused by their desire to pass the ball to each other.

In the second half, when the team was passing, the Celtics players always seemed to be able to appear on the team's passing route, and they appeared extremely fast, obviously, Zhuang Fei was very familiar with the Wizards' offensive routine, especially after pressing, so that the Wizards did not think much about passing, in this haste, they would inevitably subconsciously pass some routines that were often passed before, which was exactly what the Celtics were doing.

On the defensive end, the Celtics perfectly solved the problem in the second half of the first half, and the same is true on the offensive end, the Celtics' offense in the second half is more rough than the defense, as long as the Celtics attack, then the lower point of the offense is Arenas, Zhuang Fei directly asked Arenas to beat Nash, in this case, D'Antoni will naturally choose to misplace the defense, but what makes the Wizards and D'Antoni extremely depressed is that no matter how he is misplaced, As long as any of the five players of the Celtics is on offense, Nash will become the first point of attack, Maddy, Arenas, Jackson, Kirilenko, James Posey are all like this, and what makes the Wizards even more sad is that the singles ability of these five people is really good, and Nash really has no one who can withstand it.

In fact, Zhuang Fei's move is not an innovation, this move is completely borrowed from the strategy of the Timberwolves' nemesis team supersonic, when the superSonics were able to often beat the peak Timberwolves, it was because they could always blow up Nash when attacking, even if the Timberwolves chose to misplace the defense, they could be completely blown up by Payton, in the original Timberwolves' view, Payton was a point that could not be solved, but the Celtics and the superSonics are a little different is that it was Payton who blew up the entire Timberwolves team, And now it's the Celtics who have blown up Nash.

In this case, the Wizards, who managed to take the initiative with the new setup in the first half, lost all the initiative in an instant, and then became passive again.

However, for all fans, the ups and downs of this game made the game completely open, the offensive and defensive rhythm and speed of the two teams in the second half were quite fast, and the score was also a lot, although the Celtics took the initiative, but they have not been able to completely open the score, and the two teams have been biting until the fourth quarter. …,

"Although it looks rough, it can also reflect Coach Z's familiarity with this Wizards, he knows this team too well, so that he can clearly know where the shortcomings of this team are, but I think Steve Nash must be very depressed in this game, he completely lost the style of winning the MVP in the finals last year, and the head coach who once pushed him to the top is now taking advantage of his shortcomings to fight to death"

Larry Bird looked at the somewhat thin white man on the court and sighed and said, and just now, Jackson knocked him away and dunked under the basket, even this player who is not very offensive in the impression of others can knead him at will. Because of this, the Celtics' every time they score looks easier than the Wizards would have come.

"How can the defense of these five people be so good" Even D'Antoni on the Wizards bench was extremely depressed and helpless, Zhuang Fei was playing his misalignment, and D'Antoni was also looking for the Celtics' misalignment opportunities, but after wandering around for a long time, he found that the defense of every player of the Celtics was extremely good, there was no so-called loophole at all, and every one of them was hard stubble.

Unlike D'Antoni's depression, Zhuang Fei, who was on the other side, looked up at the stadium scoreboard after seeing the referee blow the whistle at the end of the game, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

93-83, the Boston Celtics defeated the Wizards at home, winning the first win in the Eastern Conference semifinals this season and ending the Wizards' three-game losing streak in the playoffs. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
