The Godfather of Basketball

Garnett's defense is historical, and despite his age, he remains the Celtics' biggest defense.

After he was beaten, the Celtics' defense rotation slowed down significantly.

Don't underestimate this point. If it is slow, it means that there is a time difference between offense and defense. The Cavaliers' inside line will open up.

Paul and Yao Ming continued to rush the ball, Green and Carter fired continuously on the perimeter, coupled with Artest's rush, the Celtics's defensive system on which to survive, finally began to collapse.

This is different from the previous offensive battles. The morale blow brought by this defense can be devastating. Even the offense with the Celtics has started to collapse. Rondo's organization has finally become Pierce's personal singles.

17 to 10.

23 to 11.

32 to 16.

After the first quarter of the two teams, the Cavaliers' leading advantage has reached 16 points, which is the largest point difference between the two teams since the first quarter.

"Come on! Boston!"

The fans on the spot were unwilling to accept this result. After the start of the second quarter, they actively cheered for the home team.

In this cheer, the Celtics launched a Jedi counterattack, reducing the difference to 10 points.

When the main players from both sides returned, Paul took Garnett to the frontcourt and faced the contraction of the Celtics, pulled outside the three-point line and started playing.

The middle distance after two throws away, a breakthrough injury.

Garnett was beaten again before finishing the second quarter.

The two fouls in the first quarter were snowballing. The Cavaliers caught this point and got bigger.

In the end, Garnett made 6 fouls in less than half of the fourth quarter of the series. The Cavaliers always maintained the initiative on the scene, eventually defeating the Celtics 103-79, and making the series a big score. Pulled to 3 to 1.

On the Cavaliers side, Paul scored 26 points and 16 assists in ultra-luxury statistics. Yao Ming also scored 24 points and 10 rebounds. In terms of three-pointers, Green 3, Carter 3, Shane Battier, and the Cavaliers scored. Twelve three-pointers, not too many, but 12 of 17 shots in total, it is not an exaggeration to say that they were completely thrown.

On the Celtics side, Pierce scored 31 points in the air, Garnett only played 23 minutes, scored 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks and 6 fouls.

The Cavaliers strategy worked perfectly.

Broken the Celtics 'inside barriers, the Green Shirts' defensive system and their tenacity were all broken.

"Unbelievable adjustment, Tang Tian deserves the name of a god-level coach!"

"Refreshing cognition, Tang Tian has proved that the role of coaches can be as great as superstars!"

"This is not a joke, the Tang Tianzhe won the championship!"

...

The anxiety against the situation, because the adjustment of tactics once again turned into a side-to-side game, the media touting Tang Tian reached a peak.

"The Green Shirts never know what it is to lose." Eliminating the edge, Rondo stood up in front of the media to speak out.

Just two days after the game ended, an interesting scene happened.

The Celtics had 2 days of closed training.

The series seems to have turned into a turn-based game. The Cavaliers have finished their big moves, and the Celtics have started to play CDs.

The fifth leg of the series returned to Cleveland. The 3-1 score also brought the game to the match point.

"... Coach, are you worried?" When training before the game, a reporter mentioned the Celtics's closed training, and then raised such questions.

"Worried? No, I'm not worried, not at all." Tang Tian said very lightly, he now seems to be slowly adapting to this pretense.

In previous lives, in fact, the Warriors also used this style of play, the superstar broke through, and then a variety of three-pointers on the perimeter ambush, you have to double-team or shrink, and quickly throw the ball and cast you doubt life.

To some extent, this type of play is unsolvable unless it meets a team with the same level of defensive rotation.

Garnett's absence of the Celtics obviously does not fall into this range.

That night, the fifth game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics officially started in Cleveland.

Reeves showed his adjustments, withdrawn Steensma and put Bath back, which was to hide Garnett at position 5, allowing Bath to face more shocks.

However, Tang Tian is obviously not stupid. He asked Yao Ming to pull out the pick-and-roll and continued to let Paul face Garnett.

Bath's height is only 2.03, although the movement is better than Stearnsma, but the defensive coverage area and inside barrier effect are much smaller.

And the bigger problem is Yao Ming. Yao Ming has an advantage over Garnett. Playing misplaced is even more like playing guard.

As a result, Garnett has fewer fouls, but the Celtics' inner defense has collapsed faster.

Coupled with the fact that Garnett did not dare to foul easily, the original copper wall and iron wall were directly sieved.

121 to 92, the Cavaliers played a hearty attack, 29 points victory over the Celtics, and thus eliminated the opponent 4 to 1, and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference finals.

Yao Ming had 30 points and 12 rebounds, Paul contributed 22 points and 15 assists, Carter hit 6 three-pointers, 21 points and 6 rebounds, and the Cavaliers made 18 of 30 3-pointers.

On the Celtics side, Pierce had 23 points and 5 rebounds, Garnett had 24 points and 6 rebounds and Ray Allen had 16 points. The three veterans also reached the last minute.

At the end of the game, the Cavaliers and fans were celebrating wildly.

Several cores of the Celtics also reacted fiercely.

Rondo did not participate in the handshake with the Cavaliers, and left the game angrily as soon as the game ended.

Garnett and Pierce had some red eyes, especially the old Garnett, who ended the handshake and stood on the edge of the court, staring blankly at the scoreboard above their heads.

From the league's largest power forward, the "Wolf King" to the Boston Big Three ~ www.readwn.com ~ will probably break down with a high probability this summer, he has worked hard for the championship and has done everything for the championship .

But now it seems that, like many historical names, he is destined to miss the championship.

Tang Tian and his teammates hugged, and saw Garnett still standing there, with some feeling in his heart.

Like the four big backs, Garnett, Nowitzki and other legendary power forwards have accompanied him for a lot of time in his previous life.

He walked over and patted Garnett's shoulder.

"Isn't there next season? You have tried your best. As an opponent, I will give you a perfect score." Tang Tian encouraged Garnett with a smile.

"Thank you." Garnett took a deep breath and hugged Tang Tian.

"I also believe the coach, you will win another championship." After the hug, Garnett also said from his heart.

At this moment, between him and Tang Tian, ​​he is a companion.
