"Jermaine, hit hard, don't pass, I need your individual offense now"

In the Boston Celtics team training hall, the Boston Celtics players are now sweating and training, since the first round and the 76ers game, these Boston Celtics players have been trained more fiercely by Zhuang Fei, especially in the nearly a week after the end of the game with the 76ers, these players are basically three practices a day, instead of two practices a day, it can be said that this is a small punishment for Zhuang Fei for these Celtics players, Also in order to ensure that the state of these players can be guaranteed on these days when there are no games, many times every NBA team or every head coach will choose the right amount of training when the team does not play but needs to maintain the state, but Zhuang Fei likes to increase the amount, which is also a style of Zhuang Fei, but under this style, it was the players of Wake Forest and the Timberwolves who used to suffer more, and now they have replaced the players of the Boston Celtics. Of course, even if these players feel very hard now, Zhuang Fei has no intention of changing.

O'Neal Jr. on the training ground has been a little depressed recently, because in the previous training he basically rarely faced the guy behind him directly, but recently the coach seems to have consciously let him go head-to-head with the guy behind him, so in the recent training he is also constantly fighting with the team's substitute center Udonis Haslem, if in the usual intra-team confrontation or training, he appears in the power forward position, and the opponent is also Kirilenko, but recently, Although Kirilenko's ability in all aspects is not a little bit better than Haslem, but compared to Kirilenko, the Boston Celtics' starting interior does not want to touch a player like Haslem, even if the active defender is just a rookie, but this rookie is uncomfortable with him, and it is also uncomfortable for him. So every time little O'Neill feels tired. will pass the ball after receiving it, but what makes him extremely helpless is that even if the ball is passed under the coach's loud scolding, the ball will still return to his hands, and he will have to face this opponent he does not want to face again.

Xiao Ao heard Zhuang Fei's scolding and then received the pass from James Posey on the outside. Any other players on both teams quickly pull away in full. Giving the inside space to these two players who are ready to go head-to-head, and now the center of the whole training ground is once again on O'Neal Jr., to be able to be the focus on the court, which is the goal of every player. Even if the focus is just a practice game, for many players, being the focus in training means being able to be the focus in the coach's heart, which is extremely important to improve the player's status in the coach's heart, so most teams' practice games are actually no easier than the NBA's regular season. It's just that for Xiao Ao, he really didn't want to be the focus of the team's training ground, because he has completely determined his position in the coach's heart, and it is completely unnecessary to do so, but although Xiao Ao himself is not necessary, Haslem is very necessary. Although the backup center has performed well this season, it can be said that he has completely become a player in the absolute rotation of the Boston Celtics, and it can be said that he is the main rotation player in a championship team like the Celtics. Most rookies in the lottery may not have the ability to come to the Celtics in their rookie years and play in the main rotation. It's just that for Haslem, just like when he first entered the NBA, he just wanted to gain a foothold in the NBA, and now that he has established himself in the NBA, the Boston Celtics bench has a lot more ideas inside, especially after Arenas' surge this season, it has given some rookies in the Boston Celtics an example and opportunities. It's just that his opponent is Yao Ming in normal times, although the big man also has weaknesses, but it is difficult for him to catch it, the big man is too tall. The shot was too accurate, and the irregular movement of the backward shot simply drove him crazy. And the big man's shooting rate has a tendency to get higher and higher, it can be said that he is not very good in his usual performance, and recently when the coach asked him to defend Xiao Ao, he found such an opportunity, an opportunity to improve his status in the team, because after a lot of practice games in the first few days, he found that he was able to restrain Xiao Ao to a certain extent, although basically every time he still loses to Xiao Ao, but he can feel that he is getting more and more adaptable, and Xiao Ao's offensive efficiency is also declining.

"Is it necessary to work so hard?" After Xiao Ao held the ball with his back, he suddenly felt a pain in his back being hit by Haslem, and the one in the back was so hard that he worked too hard recently, Xiao Ao even thought that this guy would not be playing this pizza as the finals, right? It's just that at this time, although Xiao Ao was a little helpless in his heart, but the movements under his feet did not soften in the slightest, and the dribble in his hand also changed the rhythm as he continued to push down the basket, until Xiao Ao felt that he had reached his own attack range, and directly under the basket on the right side of the ball, he turned to the right half and then switched to his left hand to hook his hand, and after the ball was shot, he still fell into the basket after bouncing twice on the basket.

This goal Xiao Ao played quite beautifully, so after this goal, the other Boston Celtics players on the training ground were also applauding on the side, although the Boston Celtics training game is very formal, but there is still such interaction, especially when some good balls appear, Xiao Ao made full use of his height and rich offensive means and good flexibility on the last goal, it can be said that there are not many ways to play Haslem, of course, Haslem on the defensive end is naturally not bad, It's just that Xiao Ao's hand feels really good today, and the final result is that Haslem still hasn't defended it. So after Xiao Ao's ball turned into the basket, Haslem also had some regrets, but soon after the regret, the rookie who was extremely positive in character and even a little like the unbeatable Xiaoqiang style quickly adjusted his emotions, which also made Xiao Ao, who had just been happy because of his beautiful goal, speechless again, this is one of the things he likes to touch Haslem the most, it's too difficult.

It's just that for the head coach's arrangement, although Xiao Ao has always felt very uncomfortable, he also knows that this is what the head coach is preparing to play the Heat, the Heat's two interior PJ Brown and Mourning are the hardest interior defensive combination in the league, and even the hardest interior combination can be removed. In the past, the Timberwolves' Garnett and his own interior or the Grizzlies' double Wallace combination could surpass this combination, but after the disbandment of these two combinations, the league's best defensive interior is now in the Heat, and in this case, the next series will be a bit of a problem for the Boston Celtics' two interior players. Especially for him. Yao Ming is okay, when attacking, Yao Ming's offensive range is very large, and the offensive means are also extremely rich, and he doesn't need too much physical confrontation in many cases. So he also knows that in the case that Yao Ming can't chisel under the basket, he is the one who bears the heavy responsibility of the team's offense under the basket, and his opponent has become one of Mourning and PJ Brown, regardless of which of these two opponents the opponent is. It's not easy to do, so the head coach will let him adapt to such a hard defense in advance, but even if he knows such a reason and the coach's hard work, Xiao Ao is still extremely bitter at this time, too fucking tiring.

Of course, now Xiao Ao is in full swing with Haslem on the team's training ground, and at this time, the team's head coach Zhuang Fei and the team's assistant coach Stephen Green are not paying attention to the Boston Celtics' starting interior line, at this time the eyes of these two people are all on the person opposite Xiao Ao.

"Coach, do you think he can do it?" Stephen Green looked at Haslem, who was almost beaten into a sieve by Xiao Ao, and said to Zhuang Fei with some frowns. Although Haslem's defensive top and ability to use his power to put pressure on opponents is very good now, but this is only good, and it is still very difficult for this rookie player to really want to fight against a player of Xiao O's level, although Xiao O's stats in the Timberwolves and Celtics are not very pretty, most of the time the interior stats are around 16+11. This season is the best year for statistics, and it is only 17+11, but as a coach who has led this interior for many years, Stephen Green naturally knows the true ability of this interior lineman. This is one of the top interior players in the league, and maybe just Biot is fat. Garnett and Duncan's level of players are just one line apart, it can be said that the gap between Xiao Ao and Haslem is still obvious, although the current Haslem's interior defense ability has reached the quasi-first-class, and the opponent Heat's Mourning is also a player of Xiao Ao's level, if you want to make Haslem a surprise soldier to surprise Mourning, it is unrealistic to look at it, so for Zhuang Fei has been training Haslem with all his strength in recent days, the team's assistant coach has doubts, At this time, compared to training Haslem, it is more important to find a flaw or deficiency in the Heat's No. 5 tactics, and then let the team train specially, but for Green's suggestion, Zhuang Fei has been denying it.

"Now he has improved a lot" Zhuang Fei said with a smile after hearing Green's words, at this time Green on the side shook his head, although Zhuang Fei did not answer directly, but the answer is also obvious, the Boston Celtics' defensive interior line has only improved a lot, and has not reached that level, so this answer is naturally not good.

It's just that even so, when Green looked at Zhuang Fei, the head coach of the Boston Celtics resolutely did not mean to change the team's training method, but now there is less than a day before the game, even if it changes, I am afraid it can only be like this, and Green is also a pity when he thinks of this......

With the end of all the games in the first round of the NBA, the second round of the NBA is also in full swing, the game between the Boston Celtics and the Heat is on May 6, and on May 5, there are two games in the second round in advance, and these two games are quite eye-catching, the second king of the West defeated the Mavericks 134-123 at home, the direct collision of the two top offensive teams in the league this season, the king with Peja's 16-of-25 slashing 40 points and Webb's 28-point performance, The Kings won one game at home, and the Mavericks' loss to the Kings in this game also exposed their outside defense problems, whether it was White Chocolate or Finley or the Mavericks' weak No. 3 position, this team did not have a real defensive player, so the team's current defense is mainly joint defense, and it was a tragedy when the joint defense met players like Peja and Ray Allen who could shoot suddenly, and the team was almost killed by Ray Allen in the last series. In addition to the game between the Mavericks and the Kings, the Grizzlies, who are second in the East, unexpectedly lost to the Wizards at home, and the score was an astonishing 100-118, losing by 18 points.

And after the two games on May 5, the Boston Celtics and Heat, as well as the Spurs and Lakers, also began......

On May 6, 2003, North Shore Garden, Boston, one of the NBA's most legendary courts was once again packed, and these crazy Celtics fans are still frantically creating the atmosphere of the Devil's home court.

"Zhuang, I've been looking forward to this game for a long time" Before the game started, Heat head coach Pat Riley held Zhuang Fei's hand and looked at Zhuang Fei with a smile, and at this time, the head coach's face also showed a look of extreme excitement.

"yes, I think I am too" Zhuang Fei also smiled and nodded after glancing at Pat Riley.

If you really count it, one of the NBA's greatest coaches, Shen Operator, is one of the few famous coaches that Zhuang Fei has not met in the series, and Zhuang Fei is also extremely excited about this encounter with God Operator.
