My template is really center

Chapter 360 Tie-break!
Therefore, in the last minute of the fourth quarter, the Celtics still held a 1-point lead.

And this nine-point lead kept the Celtics until the last second.

At the end of the game, the Celtics won the sixth game of this round of the series with a 9-point lead, and once again tied the big score of the two teams to 6:3.

And Xu Lang, who played a total of 43 minutes in the game, once again scored 48 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks, and four steals in this game. .

At the same time, Xu Lang's total shooting percentage in this game also dropped to only 46.3%.The three-point shooting percentage dropped to only 38.7%, and the free throw shooting percentage was also affected, dropping below 90%, only 88.6%.

Obviously, Xu Lang's data performance in this game is a bit mediocre compared to his record-breaking data performance in the previous three games.

However, there is no doubt that Xu Lang is still the best player among the 17 players played by the two teams in this game.

Especially after the game, Xu Lang, who saw his legs go weak and almost fell to his knees, won the respect and applause of all the Celtics fans.

No one can deny that in the past six games, Xu Lang has been the biggest savior of the entire Eagles, and he is also the best player in the league so far in the playoffs this season.

At that time, no one could deny that although Xu Lang's offensive efficiency declined in this game, he was still the best player among the four teams that entered the Eastern and Western finals.

That is, Yao Ming, who has not been questioned at all as the league's number one center, has a big gap with Xu Lang in his performance on the stage of the Western Conference Finals.

For the Celtics, Geng Rang would rather face the Rockets than face Xu Lang.

After all, Xu Lang's crazy performance for more than three minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter scared the Celtics into a cold sweat!

Even Rivers couldn't help but want to fight for a player's reimbursement for the season, and he had to arrange someone to attack Xu Lang.

That is to say, Xu Lang's crazy performance only lasted for more than three minutes this time, otherwise someone might lie down and go out in today's game!
So although the Celtics won the game in the end, every Celtics player and Celtics coaching staff does not think that the Celtics' next tie-breaker can win. Take it down firmly.

After all, Xu Lang's performance in the past four games is really amazing, and it also made Rivers feel that everything in this round of the series is going in a direction that he can't control!
Originally, in the first two games of this round of the series, Rivers relied on strategic arrangements to snatch two game victories from the Eagles, and firmly grasped one of the Eagles' inside twin towers, Mark Garcia. After such a breakthrough point in the game, Sol once thought that he could lead the Celtics to the Finals as easily as the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals.

As a result, for three consecutive games, Rivers spent most of the season studying Xu Lang and the Eagles. The game strategies he prepared were all smashed by Xu Lang relying on his terrifying and incomprehensible personal performance. up.

It can be said that at this time, the Celtics have no more hole cards to use. All the hole cards have been taken out in the past three games in order to deal with Xu Lang, a terrifying player.

Otherwise, Rivers would not have taken a huge risk during the battle of Tianwangshan and let Mark Blunt play a wave of shameless air hugs and fall.

But it is obvious that this kind of hug can only be used once in a short period of time, and because the object of offense this time is Xu Lang, Rivers is considering whether to continue to use Mark Blunt in the tiebreaker. Stay on the pitch!

Although Xu Lang is an outsider and Mark Blunt is an old-school thug insider, according to common sense, it is impossible for Xu Lang to beat Mark Blunt.

But the lesson from the past is the teacher of the past!
Drew Gooden was also an insider, but as a result, he was kicked into the hospital by Xu Lang and stayed there for half a year before being discharged!

And when the Celtics did not have absolute confidence in winning the tiebreaker due to various reasons, the Eagles also did not have absolute confidence.

Others in the outside world don't know, but Xu Lang himself knows too well that there is still a clear gap in strength between the Eagles and the Celtics.

Especially in the last game, after Xu Lang played a game against the Celtics, he felt how obvious the difference in strength between the two teams was.

Not only Xu Lang, but also the coaching staff of the Eagles knew very well that in the past six games, the three games that the Eagles were able to win were all due to the terrifying performance of Xu Lang alone.

It is not at all how subtle the tactical adjustments of the Eagles coaching staff are guessed by the outside world.

Basically, except for the game where Xu Lang possessed Clay Thompson's player template, the other two games of the Eagles were still operating according to the original tactical system.

It's just that Xu Lang was the core of this system before, and Xu Lang jumped out of this system and became a free man on the field!
It can be said that in those three games, Xu Lang played a little more normally, and it was difficult for the Eagles to win the final game so easily.

For example, in the sixth game that just ended, Xu Lang's performance was already much higher than his normal level!
As a result, even though Xu Lang's legs were weak, the Eagles finally lost the game with a 9-point deficit.

Even if it weren't for Xu Lang's sudden explosion in more than three minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Celtics would have taken a double-digit lead in this game.

Therefore, Mike Woodson has been on tenterhooks for the past few games, for fear that after Xu Lang can't hold back, the Eagles will directly start their vacation trip!

Before this game, Mike Woodson began to feel more and more that the Eagles were going to lose!

After all, Xu Lang had already shown some signs of decline in the last game.

The sharp drop in offensive efficiency and the gradual return of personal influence to a normal state all prove that Xu Lang is still a normal person, not a supernatural being!

At the same time, this also means that it is becoming more and more difficult for Xu Lang to play the fourth explosive battle of this round of the series.

Thinking of Mike Woodson here, he also thought of it with some self-deprecation!
"Sure enough, I have been raised by Xu Lang for the past two years!

He actually started thinking about letting a group of young people under the age of 25 kill the Big Four team when the team was just rebuilding for the second year! "

Mike Woodson thought about the age of the main core players of this Eagles team and their past game experience, and he felt that his request was a bit too much.

Marc Gasol, who just entered his first year in the NBA, was able to average close to a double-double in the playoffs, and his overall shooting percentage remained above 50%.

The playoff performance of such a rookie season, not to mention that it can be placed among the top rookie players in the entire NBA history.

It is at least the data level and game performance of the second-tier rookie players in NBA history!
Darko Milicic, another insider core identified by the Eagles this season, wasted three seasons with the Pistons.

It took less than one season to re-display the true potential and strength of the No. 03 pick of the [-] Platinum Generation.

Although now in terms of personal strength and game influence, Darko Milicic is still inferior to Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and even Chris Bosh who entered the NBA in the same year. There are some gaps.

But Mike Woodson has no doubts that after a period of adjustment and growth, Darko Milicic will be no weaker than these outstanding rookies of the 03 generation, and will become the top young player in the league. Represent one of the players!
Thinking about it this way, Mike Woodson realized that he didn't need to be too anxious at all!

After all, the three core players of their own team are only 23 years old. At such an age, they can become the core of a championship-level team.

And led the team to the Eastern Conference finals, and the Celtics, which formed the Big Four lineup, to the tiebreaker. Mike Woodson felt that the future would definitely belong to the young people of the Eagles, and it also belonged to him. of.

And just when the head coaches and all the players of the two teams felt that they were not sure, 100% won the tiebreaker and advanced to the finals, the discussion of this game was further improved!

"Hi, everyone, this is CBS, and I'm today's host, Reggie Miller."

…………

"Hi, everyone, this is TNT,..."

…………

"Hello, everyone, this is ESPN, and I'm Erics, the host for today..."

…………

"Good morning, audience friends in front of the TV. What we are broadcasting for you now is the 2007-2008 season, the seventh game between the Eagles and the Celtics in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals."

"I am today's host, Yu Jia. Today we are honored to have Wang Zhizhi, who just led the Bayi team to another CBA championship, and Zhang Weiping, Director Zhang, to explain this game with us."

"Before we start explaining this game, let us congratulate Yao Ming and the Rockets who have entered the finals!"

"Speaking of which, after Xu Lang entered the NBA, I once dreamed that the two might be able to meet in the finals, but I never dreamed that it would be so early!"

"Of course, now everything seems to be coming true!

Back to this game, from the beginning of this round of the series, I personally expected that this round of the series would be so intense.

But I really didn't expect the evolution of this round of the series to be like this. "

"It has always been because the Celtics have formed a Big Four lineup this season, especially with Kevin Garnett as a super inside lineup and Allen Iverson as a super outside lineup with a Big Four lineup!
As a result, everyone feels that the Celtics' style of play this season is likely to be biased towards the style of superstars. "

"In fact, from the beginning of this season, the Celtics' style of play has indeed gone in this direction.

However, after half a season of practice, it seems that this method does not seem to be as suitable for the Celtics' Big Four lineup as imagined.

So in the second half of the season, the Celtics changed their style of play, changing from a superstar individual singles tactical system to a half-individual, half-team with Kevin Garnett as the core and Allen Iverson as the assistant. After playing, he immediately gained new vitality. "

"But until this time, the Celtics actually chose the star style of play as their first offensive choice, but they changed from the outside offense at the beginning of the season to the inside offense!"

"As a result, after entering the playoffs, the Celtics began to lean more and more towards a true pure team offense!"

"After entering the playoffs, the Celtics averaged more than 110 points per game, but no player averaged more than 20 points per game!"

"Until the end of the last game, Allen Iverson's scoring average just reached the early 20s!"

"In contrast, the Eagles, which favored team play at the beginning of this season and even gradually evolved into a three-core tactical system, began to rely more and more on Xu Lang's individual performance after entering the playoffs. "

"Needless to say the first two rounds of the series, although Xu Lang's personal performance is better than the data in the regular season, and he also has a higher proportion of the ball than the regular season, but in general, the Eagles' tactics The system is still based on team offense."

"Furthermore, Xu Lang's style of play in the first two rounds of the series was more of a style of personal service to the team."

"But obviously, in the past four games, the Eagles' style of play has changed, and Xu Lang's style of play has also changed."

"80-plus scoring, 50-40 terrifying inside dominance.

The 60-rebound performance in the three games, as well as the near-50-plus super triple-double that nearly made Xu Lang kneel to the ground until the last moment of the last game. "

"Xu Lang's game after game surprised everyone.

Brutely turning the Eagles, a team that is biased towards team play throughout the season, into a top-level star-style team that can blow up opponents by relying on individual offense. "

"It's a very interesting thing, a team that was supposed to rely on stars from the beginning of the season turned into a pure team team in the last game before the finals.

A team that was considered to be a typical representative of a team-style team from the beginning of the season, when it came to the final kick before the finals, it suddenly became a team that relied entirely on individual stars. "

"So, roughly and Zhang, as the current top domestic players and former national players, which one of these two styles of play do you admire more or which one do you think can achieve better results, and compete for the final spot in the NBA this year?" The championship."

After watching the foreshadowing of the long speech, Yu Jia raised a rather controversial question.

Director Zhang Weiping put away his cheerful smile, and after thinking about it for two seconds, he responded very seriously!
"To paraphrase a great man's words, it doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat."

"Although many people say that basketball is a team sport.

It is impossible to become the number one in the world only by one person's performance. Even if he entered the current U.S. team, it is also because of the perfect basketball training system and the extremely rich basketball talent background that he stands in the world's number one. on stage. "

"But I personally think that basketball is not only a team sport, but also a sport where individual heroism prevails."

"Otherwise, there will be no distinction between so-called stars and role players."

"So, we can't simply judge which type of team and style of play is better, but which type of player, which style of play is more suitable, and how to better play his strengths and advantages?"

"After all, if a team is full of singles players and does not cultivate any tacit understanding at all, then such a team may still be able to play very well when facing a team that is far behind its strength. force.

But when facing a team that is not that far behind in strength, it is easy to overturn this way of playing! "

"After all, there is only one ball. If everyone wants to attack with the ball, it will only gradually evolve into a state of one person playing against one team, or even one person playing against nine players."

"For example, the U.S. team, which has dominated the world basketball for more than ten years, has not performed very well in recent years."

"At the same time, if a team does not have a clear main offensive point, problems will also arise. After all, even if it is a team style of play, there are core players and role players!"

"So whether the stars are better in singles or team offense is better, it needs actual situation and actual analysis."

………………

"Good guy, it's like some kind of talk!"

Zhang Weiping, Director Zhang's answer seemed reasonable and convincing, but in essence, it didn't answer Yu Jia's question directly.

Because Yu Jia's main purpose of asking this question is to ask the two guests whether they think the Celtics, who started to play as a team, are stronger, or the Eagles, who are more individual.
Although because of Xu Lang, domestic commentators naturally have their own positions, at least in front of the public, most people will still express more support for the Eagles.

But after all, it was the team that forced the Eagles to the tiebreaker. While supporting the Eagles, the commentators must give a more reasonable reason.

It is obvious that Zhang Weiping, Director Zhang and Si Ni answered, but did not give a clear supporter and a clear reason.

Therefore, Yu Jia could only turn his attention to another commentator this time, Wang Zhizhi!
Sensing Yu Jia's gaze, Wang Zhizhi said decisively without any hesitation.

"I support Director Zhang's opinion!"

"........."
