Chapter 424: James with an Explosive Mentality!
The Lakers' starter in this game can cause such a big sensation, of course, it has changed enough.
Barkley plays center, and the height gap between him and Bushy Eyebrows is too big.
Antetokounmpo plays power forward, and the physical gap between him and Randolph is also extremely huge.
Pierce plays small forward, can Pierce's pace and pace keep up with the Celtics?
This year's finals require a lot of athleticism on both sides of the wings, so the athleticism of the wing players is extremely demanding.
McCarvey, Antetokounmpo, Ibanks, and even Covington have all played in the starting position, but Pierce hasn't.
It's not that Popovich can't see Pierce's singles ability clearly, Pierce has a very good stand-up roll singles ability.
For the Lakers, who lack the ability to attack the attack, Pierce's stand-up roller singles ability is very important.
However, it was because Pierce's athleticism was no longer so good that Popovich did not dare to put him on the wing.
For the Lakers, their wing needs more than just individual ability, but also help defense and fill-in positions may be more important.
The range of motion and mobility of the thick eyebrows is too great, and it needs to be filled in frequently on the flanks.
Randolph's inside minus is too loachy and also needs to be filled on the wing.
And Paul's single-point Seth Curry is too threatening and also needs to be filled.
And the focus of these defensive positions is in the small forward position.
Even when he was young, Pierce at his peak, he was incapable of facing such a task, let alone Pierce now.
Therefore, Popovich almost did not use Pierce's approach in the Finals, although Pierce was very injured, but it was supported by many experts and celebrities, and even Lakers fans did not think that Popovich did something wrong.
In the eyes of many neutral fans, spectators and experts, although Popovich was beaten by the Magical Monty in the first five games, Popovich has no problem in terms of tactical play and personnel use.
No one is wrong to say that Popovich doesn't use Pierce and doesn't use Jokic.
With such a finals, can Pierce use it?
Just such a parallel champion, Jokic, can you use it!
Of course it can't be used!
Now, the Lakers' starting lineup is so unlike Popovich, the only possibility, that is, this starting lineup is not from Popovich, this starting lineup is from Coach D!
Leaving Garnett on the bench to catch James, in the starting Antetokounmpo and Barkley, Pierce, is almost equivalent to letting go of thick eyebrows, Barkley and Paul, this hand, there is no doubt, all the shadow of Coach D!
This is Coach D's most well-known and most talked about 'supplemental star tactic', although aggressive, but extremely effective against James's heart-to-heart tactics!
I'll let go of your excellent teammates, and I'll see if you're on my side in the end!
If you dare to win this game, then FMVP will definitely not be you!
In the first five games, James's statistics were not so good, except for sympathy.
At the very least, it is definitely not as good as thick eyebrows, and it has no advantage over Randolph and Paul.
Even in terms of performance on the court, Randolph and Paul are no worse than James.
And more importantly, James is still a substitute.
At the same time, half of the journalists who voted for FMVP in this year's finals were international journalists!
These international journalists, however, are difficult to be taken into the air, and three of them are Chinese journalists.
Coach D's overwhelming tactics were all aimed at James.
The cameras at the scene were also all aimed at James.
Even if the chemistry of the Celtics is against the sky, thinking of James's previous past, the Celtics players on the court will inevitably look at James on the bench.
The Lakers' starter tonight was so peculiar that it really surprised the likes of Thick Eyebrows and Randolph.
Looking at Barkley, who was 20 centimeters shorter than himself in front of him, thick eyebrows felt that Coach D was not just letting himself?
Looking at his old opponent Antetokounmpo in front of him, Randolph subconsciously touched his buttocks, he was almost blown up by this kid with a basketball back then, new hatred and old hatred came to his heart, Coach D was deliberately spurring himself!
I deliberately put a carrot I love in front of me, spurring myself to go crazy forward!
If this kid is ravaged or not, he feels sorry for Coach D's careful arrangement!
And Chris Paul also had this idea at this time.
In this finals with the Lakers, Paul's shooting rate was extremely high, and he even hit 100% of the shots in one game, but the Lakers' wing defense in the previous game was too strong, although his shooting rate was high, but he didn't shoot much, after all, he was less than 1.83 meters, and it was really difficult to attack.
Even if Seth Curry is given, Antetokounmpo or Ibanks' assistance will be there in no time.
In the end, he could only pass the ball, so the shooting percentage was really high, and the shots were really small.
Now, the Lakers' starting wing has been replaced by Pierce, and he can't shoot like crazy!
Paul feels that he has a great advantage in this game, and he can even make a big news, as long as the big news is successful, the game will end the finals, then FMVP must be his own!
Doubt James.
Let the thick eyebrows, Randolph and Chris Paul all have a big advantage for me, and I should explode in this game and be the protagonist of this game.
The Celts who had perfect chemistry, now, will there still be perfect chemistry?
Popovich can see it now, so he can only describe it as breathtaking now.
This is the manager he has ever sighed the most and is the most playful!
This is what he once sighed, the blackest head coach in the NBA who is blacker than him!
Of course, Monty Williams also saw it, and compared with Popovich's feelings, Monty Williams is not in a hurry now.
In Monty Williams' view, Coach D is testing his heart and soul with key players such as Celtic, James, Paul, Bushy Eyebrows and Randolph.
What about the test?
This hand is really powerful, however, he believes in his players!
He believes that Paul is not a player who puts himself above the team for the sake of FMVP, and he does not believe that Paul will grab FMVP for the sake of himself who doesn't care about the team.
Similarly, he also believes in James, he doesn't believe that the current James is still like in 2011, deliberately going undercover for his opponent for FMVP.
Just like his coaching philosophy says, as long as you do your best, it doesn't matter what others do, no matter how scheming Coach D is, no matter how dark he is, it doesn't matter.
As long as we don't have problems ourselves, no one can beat us!
So, in the face of Coach D's increasingly clear conspiracy, before the game began, Monty Williams walked to the sidelines and just shouted a word to the court.
"Trust your teammates, and trust your teammates to treat you with the same trust!"
With that, Monty Williams gave a round of applause to the Celtic players on the field.
Chris Paul, who had already had some kind of thought in his heart, hurriedly retracted his mind.
And the Celtics players on the field, who had already had a little emotional problem, instantly regained their clarity again.
"This is the magic Monty, who owns Coach D with the Celtics and has the influence of Coach D in the Lakers!"
Popovich sighed again.
Now most of the whole world is laughing at Coach D's lineup, and they are laughing at Coach D who is still looking at James with his original eyes.
Coach D will be slapped in the face right away.
A real super coach like Popovich, or a head coach who is well versed in people's hearts, will understand why Monty Williams has such a solemn expression on his face.
So, the game hasn't started yet, but the general audience and the grandmasters are already not watching the same game.
The general audience, even the people behind the scenes, are now laughing at Coach D for being completely lost to the pressure of the magical Monty.
But those real masters, experts, and capable coaches are flashing excitedly in their eyes one by one.
"Coach D has made a move, it's really fast and ruthless!"
This is Cole.
His biggest regret this season was not being able to play a seven-game game with Coach D.
He knocks Bobo to the ground and is about to stab Bobo to death when he is shot in the head by Coach D.
He was beaten by Coach D, but ...... But he didn't become an opponent with Coach D.
"Monty has done a really good job, Coach D still has no chance to take advantage of it so far, in the face of an offensive like Coach D, he can do something like Monty, perhaps, only Monty."
This is Old Nelson, and Old Nelson's face is all praise.
Not only praises Dukang, but also praises Monty Williams.
After all, Monty Williams was also his apprentice.
Pat Riley, Larry Brown, at this time, were quite excited, and they both felt a deep sense of involvement.
Because, Monty Williams is also their apprentice.
Not to mention that Monty Williams is an extremely special person in the NBA.
He was really open in the NBA, and his connections were so strong that many people ignored them.
Many people simply don't realize why Monty Williams is Coach D's lifelong enemy.
Why would it be Monty Williams, who would stage that shocking rookie battle with Coach D.
That rookie battle was the masters who wanted to beat Coach D, a famous rookie behind the scenes.
And now!
"Monty, it's really grown!"
Dough Reeves was satisfied.
Monty Williams also followed him back then.
Moreover, he admired Monty very much at the time.
Now that Monty was able to beat his idol Coach D out of his mind, he was really happy.
It's just that at this time, Rivers didn't notice the disgusted expression of D'Antoni next to him at all.
This pig's head is also embarrassed to be called a handsome with us?
Isn't this just an ordinary fan?
Not even the level of the fans!
It's really not easy to understand this game, and he definitely doesn't expect the audience to understand it, but is Rivers a normal ordinary spectator?
It doesn't matter if others can't understand it, it doesn't matter if ordinary head coaches can't understand it, but Rivers must be able to understand that.
Rivers' reputation and resources in the NBA are simply too much.
Even if it's a pig, give Rivers so many resources, he should be cultivated, can he understand this game?
You've been in the NBA for so many years, and you can't even understand this game, it's not even as good as a pig's head!
D'Antoni withdrew his gaze from Rivers in disgust and looked at Monty Williams on the sidelines.
When Monty was under him, D'Antoni never imagined that Monty would have the possibility of impacting the No. 1 coach in NBA history.
Now, Coach D has made a move!
Now, as long as he can win this game and win the championship.
Then, Monty is the strongest head coach in NBA history!
It's game on!
Thick eyebrows and Antetokounmpo jump ball.
In the end, the thick eyebrows got the first attack of the game for the Celtics.
Chris Paul received the jump ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
Chris Paul, who has always been steady, decided to pull up the tempo at the start of the game.
That's bullying the Lakers, and it's Pierce on the wing in this game.
Paul's ball quotient is quite high.
And Paul's operation is also quite exciting.
In the face of Seth Curry's defense, Chris Paul did not call for blocking, and stepped back with two consecutive crotch changes, and then bowed to the Buddha and threw Seth Curry clean!
By the time Seth Curry turned around to defend Paul again, the Paul had already reached the free throw line and was already jumping backwards!
"Wonderful!! This breakthrough by Chris Paul is so wonderful!! ”
It's not just O'Neill yelling.
Even Seth Curry's brother next to him, Stephen Curry, was staring wide-eyed and almost couldn't help but applaud.
"Chris Paul is still in excellent form, no, even better than before!!"
The Celtic fans cheered.
Even Lakers fans are exclaiming.
And James, who was on the sidelines, sank in his heart.
Chris Paul is going to grab FMVP with him!!
Pierce's help defense is very hard!
However, a little slower or a little slower, the jump is not so high, it is still not so high.
In the end, I could only watch Chris Paul's sudden stop and backward mid-range shot brush the net!
2 to 0!
Celtic took the lead from the start!
After Paul hit, he opened his hands and pouted stubbornly to celebrate with the Celtics fans at the scene.
For a while, the MVP voice of Celtics fans resounded through Qiongyu!
The Lakers attacked, Seth Curry advanced with the ball, and Chris Paul stepped forward to press.
Paul didn't really want to swallow Seth Curry and rob it, this is Paul testing the referee's decision, whether it is still Black James, biased towards the Lakers.
Without disappointing Paul, the beep-beep whistle sounded.
Referee, this game is still biased towards the Lakers!
"Hahahaha, Chris Paul was told that in this game, they still have an opponent who is not willing to be lonely staring at them, hahahaha......"
Seeing that Paul's face was not frustrated after being whistled for a foul, but showed a smile that was really like this, many people at the scene laughed, even O'Neal laughed.
At this point in the game, everyone will no longer be scolding the referee.
Because everyone knows that the Lakers won't take advantage either.
Even Popovich won't take advantage, let alone Coach D!
The Lakers' first offense was given to Wade.
Wade broke through Rudy Gay with the ball, and the Celtics quickly contracted.
In the face of the pinch shot, Wade jumped up and gave the ball to Barkley, who cut to the basket.
"Only a handful of guards, such as Wade and Kobe Jordan, can get the ball out of the gap in such a pinch!"
The Celtics' Jordan rule defense is beautiful, and Wade's passing is even more beautiful!
And Barkley, who received Wade's pass under the basket, dunked the basketball in his hand into the basket with a bang!
The thick eyebrows are behind him, and the second jump of the thick eyebrows is extremely fast, and if it is Garnett, it will be born.
However, Barkley, obviously not that tall, can't get off it, half a beat slower!
"Boy, now that I've chopped off on your head, next, it's your turn!"
After Barkley's dunk was finished, he smiled and looked at the thick eyebrows and patted his head.
Can this be endured?
Originally, Barkley was so much shorter than him, and he had a good opportunity to vote for Barkley, how could he miss it now!
Celtic attack.
Chris Paul also wants to play Seth Curry, but Thick Eyebrow is very strong outside the three-point line, considering that Thick Eyebrow is the first descendant of the magical Monty, it is impossible for Paul not to give the ball, there is no reason not to give the ball.
Barkley defended closely, and the thick eyebrows who received Paul's pass went to the right to break through, Barkley sideways his back legs, but the thick eyebrows immediately stepped back to the three-point line and opened up space for Barkley.
Barkley reacted very quickly.
Pounced out!
However, it is true that the height difference is a bit far.
Virtually no disturbance to thick eyebrows.
And thick eyebrows' three-point shot this time has been premeditated for a long time and is very resolute.
So, soon the fans at the scene heard the sound of basketball brushing the net!
Thick eyebrows step back and hit a three-point shot!
5 to 2!
Celtic lead by 3 points!
With the height of thick eyebrows, there is such a skill and such shooting ability!
It's amazing!
Seeing the three-point shot of thick eyebrows, Monty Williams on the sidelines was very happy.
I couldn't help but look at the front of the bench on the Lakers' side.
It's a pity that I didn't see Coach D.
It was Popovich who was seen.
Coach D, if each of us can implement my philosophy, I will thank you for inspiring the fighting spirit and form of my players!
Bang!
This time, Seth Curry, who received Wade's breakaway pass from outside the three-point line, failed to hit a three-pointer.
Randolph under the basket jammed Antetokounmpo who rushed to grab the rebound and easily picked up the rebound!
After Randolph, who picked up the rebound, handed the ball to Paul, he excitedly took Antetokounmpo to the frontcourt.
Since Paul and Bushy Eyebrows are both showing, now, it's time to be yourself!
Seeing such an excited Randolph, James on the sidelines was smiling on his face, and even stood up with his teammates excitedly to applaud the team, hoping that the Celtics could open up the difference.
But in my heart, James is really bitter!
Coach D, Fack!
Fack, Coach D!
Fack! Fack!! Fark !!
James is crying bitterly now!
If I had known, I wouldn't have been so arrogant in front of Dwayne!!
Now James regrets as much as he humiliated Wade in the first place!
Now, what else?
You can only watch Randolph beat Antetokounmpo!
And then!
Bang sounded!
There was an exclamation at the scene!
James immediately looked at the pitch and no, at the big screen!
Randolph elbowed, elbowed Antetokounmpo in the face!
Antetokounmpo fell to the ground!
Randolph offensive foul!
Looking at Antetokounmpo on the ground, Randolph is stupid!
Although he plays fiercely, he is not a fool, and Antetokounmpo is not short, how can he elbow Antetokounmpo in the face!
Fark !!
"Referee, this kid deliberately hit me with his face!!"
Randolph shouted almost subconsciously!
And the referee responded with an idiot's look.
Do you think we are fools?
Giannis can anticipate your elbow, why send your face over and fall straight to the ground, isn't it the same offensive foul?
This disgusted look almost exploded Randolph's whole mentality.
Randolph looked at Antetokounmpo viciously.
This iconic giggle!
Back then, when his ass was almost blown up by a basketball, he was such a giggle!
This kid did it on purpose!
It's a black whistle!
But......
"Zach, it's not necessary, this elbow, it's really unnecessary."
Teammates are comforting.
Teammates are touching their heads and slapping their butts.
The whole world thinks he is announcing a personal vendetta!
Actually, it's this kid who is doing something, not him!!
Randolph's mentality showed signs of exploding in an instant......
