Emperor 781 - The Defeated Lakers?
Today's Boston Celtics starters are center Yao Ming, power forward O'Neal Jr., small forward Maddy, scoring guard Jackson, and organizational guard Wade, Wade was choked by Billups in the last round of the series, Zhuang Fei let him play back to the team's sixth man, and in this round of the series, Zhuang Fei once again used Wade in the starters, for Wade, who can be called the Boston Celtics in the finals. Zhuang Fei has always been very important to the x'factor player, and he is also one of the three tactical cores of the Boston Celtics.
The Boston Celtics' three tactical cores are Wade-centered' The 1-4 tactic' is what he inherited from Arenas, and the other is Yao Ming's No. 5 tactic and Maddy's triangle offense, it can be said that the Boston Celtics' offensive system is built by these three people, and in fact, for the Lakers, it was proved in the regular season that just the triangle offense and the No. 5 tactic, facing the Lakers is looking for death, this team is the best team in the triangle offense, and in fact, this team can completely match the Celtics players one-on-one when defending the triangle offense, and the other No. 5 tactic is not a conventional tactic, at least for Yao Ming This is not a conventional tactic.
In this case, if the Boston Celtics want to beat the Lakers, on the offensive end, at least they have to develop a system, whether it is a single system with individual ability like the Lakers or other offensive systems, Zhuang Fei needs to come up with his own methods, and in the end, Zhuang Fei spent a season so that Wade can run the '1-4' tactics well, in this case, Zhuang Fei is also confident that his team can wrestle with the Lakers on the offensive end, even if it is not as good as the Lakers on the offensive end.
But it's not necessarily going to be as bad as losing the two games in the regular season, and in fact it is, and the Celtics are basically unlikely to have that kind of situation in the regular season again, unless Wade is once again as unstrategically valuable as he was against the Grizzlies, but obviously. Although Payton is also a first-class point guard, not much worse than Billups's strength, but the age and characteristics of the two are still different, at least Payton chooses to speed is no longer like Billups to suppress Wade's first step, and when Wade starts, it will be difficult for others to defend his breakthrough.
At least no one in this Lakers can hold him now, unless Kobe Bryant releases Maddie to change his defense. But obviously, this is impossible, of course, in addition to offense, the Boston Celtics' defense is also one of the reasons why Zhuang Fei is now confident in his team, this game, after eight or nine days of targeted training, the Celtics who have come to check and fill in their defensive system will definitely surprise the Lakers, at least it will surprise Ao Fat. The defensive system, which was still relatively naïve during the regular season, is unlikely to be able to do that in the regular season.
Of course, for Zhuang Fei, the starting lineup he is now arranging is the one he thinks is the best lineup against the Lakers, whether it is the best offensive, defensive or otherwise. The same is true for the Lakers, who start today with center Ao Fat and power forward Malone. Small forward Szczebiak, scoring guard Kobe, playmaking guard Payton. It's a team with a complete All-Star roster, and that's what makes this team feel confident that they can win.
And in fact, when this game started, the two teams did fight as many people expected, of course, the big fight here is naturally not a fight, but the two teams almost did not have any temptation, and they got serious directly, for most NBA games, especially for such a finals, the two teams are full of hatred as soon as they come up is definitely not a common thing, after all, for every team that can enter the finals, They all have their own hole cards, and this kind of hole cards should not be taken out so early.
In this case, some games will be a test at the beginning of a game, and even the first few games of a series are a trial, such as the finals between the Boston Celtics and the Spurs last season, the Spurs were trying to attack in the first two games, and finally immediately exerted their strength when they fell behind 0-2, and finally directly pulled it to 2-2, and the Celtics even used four games to try, and when they were pulled 2-2 and even thought that they were going to collapse, Zhuang Fei directly took his team to take it. The 1-4' tactic won two games in a row against the Spurs, and finally won the finals trophy last season 4-2.
This is the norm in the NBA Finals and even the playoffs, and under such a norm, almost no one will come up like today's game Boston Celtics and Lakers want to be stunned like this, as if they don't intend to keep anything, for example, for the Celtics, they are direct' The 1-4 'tactic opened, Maddie and Yao Ming all played Wade, and on the Lakers side, this team also did not adopt the conventional process of letting Kobe Bryant play a few first, but from the beginning it was Ao Fat's strong attack, it seems that for Phil Jackson, he is not even willing to fall behind to the Celtics, but wants to lead to the end. Therefore, it is also a direct use of weapons of mass destruction such as Ao Fat.
Of course, for the strategy used by the NBA team in the Finals, no matter how it is used, the only purpose is to win the final victory of the series, and for the two teams to take the lead in the killing move that determines the outcome in advance, and then grab the start Although it seems reckless, if it really has an effect and can really win the game, then there is no problem, at this time, any means are for the final result, as long as the result does not deviate from the track, everything is acceptable, And this is like this for the Celtics, because the Celtics' strategy worked, at least Zhuang Fei prepared for a season, that is, Wade, who was ready to deal with the Lakers, was effective after the start of this game, while the Lakers on the other side had a different situation, which for Phil Jackson, he probably wouldn't have thought of
"Beautiful offense, Wade's breakthrough is really beautiful, of course, Yao Ming pulled to the free throw line for Maddy's strategy to do a good job, this is a typical Boston dual tactics 1-4 tactics, Wade's breakthrough is not for the purpose of the basket, and the players who really go to the basket have other people, such as Maddie such as Jackson, and Jermaine and Yao Ming pull one to the bottom corner and one to the free throw line, when Wade's breakthrough attracts everyone's attention and distributes the ball to Yao Ming, the space on the court is large.
Of course, this is just a 1-4 tactic with Yao Ming as the No. 4 position, but the real essence of this tactic is the player in the No. 1 position, and the requirement for this player is to be able to shoot suddenly, to attract enough attention, and to be able to find the team very clearly. Virtual No. 4 position', at this point, Arenas did better than Wade now, Arenas's shooting is better, of course, Wade also has his own characteristics, maybe in the face of Payton's defense, the faster Wade plays this tactic more freely"
Boston Celtics media commentary seat, Boston Celtics celebrity Larry Bird also looked at the court with a smile and said with satisfaction, the beginning of this game, the Boston Celtics played too much for him, he and the Magic are good friends, but good friends are good friends, he has not forgotten the failure of the 1987 finals, and now the Celtics can win this game in front of him and the Magic, then it is definitely the best gift for Larry Bird, And what made Larry Bird happy at this time was that the magician sitting next to him was indeed a little depressed.
"Coach Z's team is the best in the league, and neither Phil Jackson nor Adelman is far inferior to him at this point" Magic also said with some emotion after Larry Bird said proudly, this is indeed a fact, compared to coordination, than passing, who can compare to Coach Z's team?
"Yes, I still remember the 'Jordan tactics' used by this guy in this year's All-Star Game, the Western All-Stars can't even touch people, the kind of exquisite coordination is outrageous, but it's a pity that the Celtics' configuration can't play that kind of offense now, maybe for Jordan's tactics This is the Terminator tactics, the All-Star is the swan song" Larry Bird also said with some regret, compared to the 1-4 tactic, this year's All-Star Terminator tactics are more gorgeous.
"Well, it's a pity, but I don't want it to really happen in this game or this series" Magic then sighed: "The Lakers played too simply, this game is obviously the Boston Celtics are very well prepared, their defense has been upgraded more than one level compared to the regular season, although this Laker does not have too many complicated combinations, which is completely different from the Celtics, but the uncomplicated cooperation does not mean that Shaq is to play alone, Shaq should consider giving the ball to Payton, In this game, he has a lot of offense, and the offensive mode is a little simple, and the effect is not good, and the Lakers are in danger of collapsing if they continue like this."
After saying that, the Magic was also worried, at the beginning of this game, the Lakers were about to collapse, the Celtics' Ao Fat's targeted defense was very good, and Ao Fat wanted to perform in this game too much, and he would not transfer it out after almost getting the ball, which was a little too persistent for him
"Tim, I bet this game will be a rout for the Lakers" Carter also smiled and said to his friend on the side when he saw that Ao Fat forcibly squeezed Yao Ming and was about to dunk when he was directly destroyed by Xiao Ao on the side, and at this time Duncan also nodded slightly, as if agreeing.
