Chapter 23
The Zen master looked at Marbury, who had already protruded Alston into a sieve, and thought for a moment. finally spoke: "In terms of the overall strength of this Celtics, it is indeed not bad, but when it comes to the Lakers, it is impossible to win." ”
"The head coach of the Celtics still has a lot of ideas, and he even lets the inside shoot three-pointers."
"But if you look closely, the real heart of the whole team is Marbury."
"With four players helping Marbury open up the offensive space, Marbury started to attack with the ball."
"While it looks like the Celtics' offense is fluid at the moment, once Marbury is locked up by a top defender."
"The Celtics' overall offense is bound to suffer, and last year's playoff game with the Pistons was an example of that."
The Zen master is the head of the championship in the end, although the Celtics have a shrunken version of the Big Three, but he can see the true core of the Celtics at a glance.
During the Pistons' playoffs last year, Billups felt locked up under Kidd's defense.
Billups was able to finish the playoffs with 18 points, 4.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds.
In the series against the Nets, Billups averaged 9.8 points, 6 assists and 2 rebounds per game.
Shooting percentage decreased to 27.5 percent from 37.4 percent in the playoffs.
Billups faced Kidd like this, and the Zen master also had more outside defensive gates in his hands.
Kobe Bryant plus Payton's combo!
The Zen master is confident that he will lock up Marbury just as Kidd locked Billups!
If there is no Marbury, once it is caught or assisted.
There is no second player who can find a teammate who is being released quickly and accurately if Marbury glances at a glance.
Pierce, Dior, and Hardaway can all be organized, but they are still a little worse.
And the poor ones are often easy to determine success or failure!
However, Chu Xuan also thought of a solution, but at this time, because the heat was not strong, he did not use it.
Old Buss nodded, he still has confidence in the Lakers F4.
The Lakers and the Celtics are mortal enemies!
Old Bass naturally did not like the Celts either, and at this time he heard the assurances of the Zen master.
Old Bass laughed: "I already want to come to Christmas quickly and beat the Celtics at Staples when the time comes!" ”
The Zen master promised, "I will defeat the Celts at Staples!" ”
At that moment, Barkley's voice came out of the television.
"Beautiful dunk! At this time, Marbury scored 20 points and 20 points in the half, and the Celtics were already 20 points ahead of the Heat, and they had already sealed the win in advance! ”
Marbury never felt like scoring was such an easy thing.
Many old fans of Alstom, the 'king of street ball', are also familiar with it, after all, it is a player who will wear the red team jersey in the future.
While Alston's passing and three-point shooting are really good, the defense is average.
In the face of an All-Star point guard like Marbury, it's almost like being suddenly turned into a sieve!
When Marbury got into the box, he either scored or assisted.
If someone helps to defend, he passes the ball, and if no one assists in defense, he scores.
Isn't the unprotected basket in the forbidden area just a point away?
Van Gundy also flipped a mistake and seemed to open up space for Vedra to attack.
But it also sent Wade to the Celtics' outside defensive core Raga. Bell's hand.
Wade defends Marbury, at least Wade has the physical talent to keep up with Marbury's speed.
Alstom was directly crushed by experience and talent!
This is also the reason why Chu Xuan directly pronounced the death of the Heat after seeing Van Gundy's change of formation.
Take your spear and stab it into the hardest shield of the Celts.
Isn't that a problem?
At half-time, both sides returned to the locker room to rest.
Barkley in the studio, watching the Celtics lead the Heat by 20 points at 51:31.
He knew very well in his heart that the Heat were no match for the Celtics on both ends of the floor.
This game is already sealed, but he Barkley is not such a fickle person!
So Barkley continued to say stiffly: "I admit that Chu Xuan, the young marshal, may have some ability, at least in my opinion, the game has entered garbage time, and the Heat is almost about to surrender." ”
Smith asked: "Charles, before the game started, you said that you were not optimistic about Chu Xuan's coaching ability, and now the situation on the field, can it be regarded as Chu Xuan's response to you with practical actions?" ”
"No, Kenny, I still used the possibility to describe Chu Xuan just now."
"The NBA game is never a win-or-lose game, and I've never seen a center shoot threes all the time."
"I'm sure it's not just me, it's probably all the coaches in the league who haven't seen it."
"In the Heat's team, veterans and rookies, there is no All-Star in his playing year."
"Coupled with Chu Xuan's unprecedented tactics in the NBA, it is normal for him to not be able to beat for a while."
Barkley's words, to some extent, actually have some truth.
After all, on the cards, the Celtics have three All-Stars in their playing years.
What does the Heat have?
'Left Hand Magician' Odom?
Pippen's successor, Eddie. Jones?
Or rookie Wade?
At this time, they are indeed very powerless in the face of the Celtics' shrunken version of the Big Three.
"And it's hard to say whether Celtic's tactics will be cracked in the future."
"In my opinion, offensive rebounding is the fatal flaw of the Celtics!"
Whoever gets the rebound wins the world!
Barkley was right, the Celtics lineup.
Once the shooter's three-pointer hits the iron, the box allows Marbury to grab the rebound with the opponent's inside.
It's a bit hard for Marbury!
And the three-point shot is accurate, even if it's a big empty space.
It is also impossible to hit every game.
Even if it's a 50% shooting rate, there must be a rebound on both shots!
And Barkley clearly doesn't think Marbury can steal the rebound inside.
