The Godfather of Basketball

"If they lose a little and start to shrink inside, then this tactic may be played to the end and it will become a test of the stability of our outside pitchers." Kassel continued.

Tang Tian paused, then thoughtfully.

What Kassel said was a problem.

The Celtics' defensive system is not worse than that of the Cavaliers. Shrinking the penalty area will indeed make it difficult to score inside. At the time, the outside line will be a chance. If you vote, the game will be easy. .

After all, it is a new tactic, a bit of a double-edged sword.

After a two-day break, the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals opened in Cleveland, against the Cavaliers and Celtics.

Two years ago, Tang Tian led the Cavaliers and the Celtics to play against each other. At that time, the two sides played a 4-2. The Cavaliers advanced three games in a row behind 1-2, which is a classic.

Fighting again this time seemed like a continuation of the old grudges for both sides.

Cleveland fans are also quite excited.

After the first round, they found that without James, the Cavaliers are still so strong, which makes them more confident in the team's impact on the three consecutive championships.

The night of the fast loan stadium was full, and the fans wore red T-shirts distributed at the scene, and the atmosphere of the entire stadium was extremely high.

In the roar of the DJ who lengthened his voice, the starting players of both sides were introduced.

The Cavaliers use the regular lineup, with Paul and Green on the perimeter, Butler and Butier on the wing and Yao Ming at the center.

On the Celtics side, as expected by Tang Tian and Kassel, the regular season starting bass did not appear in the starting lineup. The outside line was Rondo and Ray Allen, and the front line was Pierce and Canada. Nate, the center is Stimsma.

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Yao Ming jumped to win over Steinsma, and officially opened the curtain of the series.

Paul held the ball to the frontcourt and had a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming.

The Celtics chose to shrink the penalty area and Paul returned the ball to Yao Ming.

Pierce switched directly.

Yao Ming chose a midrange shot.

Pierce's defense defense is fast, but the height difference between him and Yao Ming is too big, and the interference of reaching out has not prevented Yao Ming's sight.

"Oh!"

Yao Ming made his first midrange shot.

Rondo held the ball to the frontcourt, the Celtics ran a half-court tactic, and Ray Allen took a three-point tactic.

The Cavaliers 'front line can be changed quickly, and Shane Battier's closeness directly undermines the Celtics' tactics.

Rondo saw that there was not much time, directly reached out to open the space, and then delivered the ball directly to Garnett.

After Garnett received the ball, leaned against Butler, raised the ball with his right hand, glanced at the Cavaliers without a double-team, chose to play back, leaned twice and turned to the basket, facing Yao Ming's high Hit the board.

Butler's defense is very aggressive, but it is more for defenders or forward swingers. It is almost useless for Garnett's large interior. The most realistic situation is that Garnett is holding the ball high. He even Can't reach the ball.

As Paul pushed forward, he also looked for Yao Ming's pick-and-roll in the frontcourt. At this time, the Celtics' defensive tactics changed. Rondo grabbed the position in advance and no longer gave Yao Ming a pick and roll opportunity.

Paul tried a few times without success, directly let Yao Ming down, after giving the ball in, he reached out to signal his teammates to run to attack.

Butler and Green did a ball-free pick-and-roll. Green ran a pick-and-roll after Paul ran. Paul spun off Pierce and picked up Yao Ming's pass directly from the three-pointer at a 45-degree angle to the right.

"boom!"

The ball was shot a bit shorter, and the basketball hit the frame.

Garnett turned to collect defensive rebounds, but at this moment, Yao Ming turned and shook away Stearnsma at speed, reached out to the basket, and hurled the ball into the basket before Garnett.

Rondo held the ball to the frontcourt, this time he directly motioned to Pierce to give Garnett a no-ball pick-and-roll, and then gave the ball in.

This intention is obvious, it is necessary to use the personal ability to eat raw Cavaliers forward.

Paul shrunk the bag directly.

However, at this moment, Rondo cut the basket empty, received a pass from Garnett, and scored a low-handed layup.

4 to 4.

It was completely different from the imagination, and the two teams even opened up in the opening game.

Tang Tian looked thoughtfully on the field.

The defensive strength of the two teams is actually not weak. This situation is not so much an offensive battle, but it is not that no one can hold back the other.

Yao Ming's flexibility is much stronger than that of Stearns, and the Celtics have a hard time restraining him. On the other hand, Garnett is not an Anthony player who only looks at the rim. The coping ability, even if old, the Cavaliers' two short forwards are enough to drink a pot.

After playing for more than four minutes, the score of the two sides was 9-10, and the Cavaliers were 1 point behind.

"Our frontline is too bad for height." Casey then turned to Tang Tian and said.

Tang Tian nodded, then got up and called Varejao and Carter.

The previous starting lineup didn't change, on the one hand because I didn't want to destroy the team's offensive chemical reaction, and on the other hand, I wanted to see if the assisted defense team could work.

Looking at it for a while, there was no problem on the offensive end, but the defensive end was really too big because of the height gap ~ www.readwn.com ~ The co-defense team on which the survival was based also failed.

Paul's breakthrough caused Stearnsma's foul, and he got two free throws. The game also entered dead time.

The Cavaliers made substitutions here, and Varejao and Carter came on and replaced Butler and Green.

Rivers saw the adjustment for a moment.

The substitutions for the Cavaliers came much earlier than normal, and after the adjustment, the average height of the team came up.

Paul made two free throws and the Cavaliers overtook the score.

Rondo held the ball to the frontcourt and still called Pierce to make a single block for Garnett.

Butler is gone, but Battier is still on the field, and he is not much higher than Butler.

However, this time the pick-and-roll was miscalculated. At this time, the old Carter used his experience to grab the position ahead of Pierce in advance. Shane Battier went directly to replace Allen. The Celtics' tactical intentions were destroyed in advance.

Rondo immediately signaled Garnett to make a ball-free screen for Ray Allen.

As a point guard who is more paranoid than Kidd, Rondo has a nickname "coach on the field", and his ability to read the game is not generally strong.

As the Big Three ages, his rise in the team's low post and his own growth, this feeling becomes more and more obvious.

After Battier's speed was blocked, Valecho couldn't keep up with Ray Allen, who successfully ran out of chance.

Rondo passed the ball for the first time.

"Oh!"

Ray Allen made a three-pointer.

13-11, the Celtics went back again.
