Chapter 285 Lost
The Spurs' defense is not as strong as the Pistons. It doesn't force you to control the ball, but as long as you hold the ball close to their three-point line, the impenetrable defensive formation will make you feel helpless.
Even a stable point guard like Rondo will feel tricky in the face of this situation.
The main problem is not the seamless construction of the Spurs' defensive system, but not only that there are people blocking in front, but also a French sports car around him who is interfering. Parker's break the ball, which is quite sharp.
Especially when his beautiful fiancee who starred in Desperate Housewives was sitting on the sidelines, this French-made small sports car was like adding aviation oil, like stepping on hot wheels.
Rondo can't eat Parker in both height and weight, and he has to be on guard against this guy's break at any time, and the same is true on the defensive end. Parker rushed up, and the wind-like speed makes Rondo uncomfortable.
The defensive strength of the Spurs is self-evident, with an average loss of 90.1 points per game. The number one defensive efficiency in the league is not casually said. If the Rockets are enough to give the Celtics a headache, then the Spurs are far more ferocious than his fellow Texas. A sense of oppression.
And Popovich's team can not only cause trouble for all opponents on the defensive end, but also make Rivers feel the maturity and efficiency from the championship team.
Once Tony Parker's speed soars, it can drive the whole team's rapid advance. If this guy is put in the Suns, he can at least raise the opponent's gear and speed up the artillery tactics to the extreme.
When Nash met Parker in the Western Division, he once said, "Tony's speed is as fast as lightning. If we run back, only Barbosa in our team may catch up with him."
Parker's breakthrough may not be the fastest in the league, but his flexibility in dribbling is different from ordinary American players. The tempering from the European continent makes him more lethal in running.
Before the race, Siberdu explained to Ron Do not to let Parker's speed rush up, otherwise, you will face a lot of pressure. The speed of the small sports car is not for nothing. Once it is full of horsepower, it is difficult for him to step on the brakes.
Fortunately, the tonnage of this French sports car is lightweight, and Rondo can still rely on his two long arms to make some trouble for him. If Parker can have the physique of Billups, Rondo will be miserable.
But even with such a propeller that can fight a quick counterattack, Popovich did not let Parker control the team. In the attack of the Spurs, Parker is only one of the conversion from dynamic to static.
But Parker has never had any problem with such an arrangement. It can be said that the Spurs are the NBA team with the least internal disputes and contradictions. In addition to the good relationship between the players, he also has to rely on Popovich's iron fist to govern the army. In front of this old guy, no one wants to make trouble. Will.
And with a boss like Duncan, maybe everyone can calm down and be less evil.
In the face of such a strong opponent, Rondo must also concentrate on every action of the other party. The confrontation between the two small men can be divided into victory and defeat.
But Parker is just a starting point of attack. Even if he is sure to cut in at high speed, Popovich's tactical idea is to implement it on everyone. Therefore, after a fake shake, Parker slips along the three-point line to the bottom line. At the moment Ron came, the Frenchman used the hand and left and right hand. The fork dribbled the ball and folded in the direction, but this time, Rondo's footsteps were blocked.
Brent Barry, an old guy who is not very strong, but such a block and disassembly cooperation that is so simple that even primary school students can directly block Rondo near the bottom line, and Pierce, who just came out with old Barry, never dreamed that Parker followed him and plunged into the inner line. .
Pierce already knew what this guy was going to do when Old Barry was running, but he didn't expect that Parker chose a very strange and adventurous entry route for the two of them to make a mistake!
If the French sports car takes another step, Pierce will be stuck in his position, but the guy is on a dangerous road. His whole body twists, passing through the middle of old Barry and Pierce.
At a high-speed cut, as soon as a crack appeared in the Celtics' defense, Parker's ghostly footsteps had already plunged into it fiercely, like a bone-breaking knife, and finding the gap was a fierce knife.
"Do it!" When Chen Feng saw such a situation, he could only curse in a low voice. He didn't expect that as soon as he was on the weak side, he had to stand up to prevent Parker from easily cutting into scoring, and the speed was amazingly fast!
However, Chen Feng's defense speed also surprised Parker a little. After all, he chose the route he cut into very cunningly, almost close to Pierce's body, using his speed advantage to suddenly accelerate the breakthrough.
But it was such a high-speed cut that did not escape Chen Feng's supplementary defense. Almost at the same time when Parker finished cutting and holding the ball and could face the basket, he had seen the bald head ** pounce in front of him!
If Parker still wants to play a jump shot or a small throw he is best at at this time, it is estimated that there is only one ending, that is, the basketball that has been thrown up by Chen Feng's raised hands fiercely.
Parker is no longer the hairy boy who just joined the NBA in 2001. In the past two seasons, his brainless playing style in the past has become less and less. Although his speed is still fast, he knows how to choose the timing of attack more often. In addition, there is such a very strict old man as Popovich. The guy urged him. As the main point guard of the Spurs, Parker's offensive choice has become more and more mature and sophisticated.
Therefore, when Parker saw Chen Feng's shape of teeth and claws coming head-on, he was not stupid enough to think that his small throw could cross the bald animal in front of him. The French sports car wisely chose to pass the ball.
"Copy!" Just as he was about to slap Parker to give the other party a fierce lesson, Chen Feng looked at the French sports car and flashed in an instant. The basketball in his hand was not thrown up, but hit the ground along his feet.
Chen Feng can only watch the ball pass through his feet. This is a pass that even God can't do. He is not a ninja. He has never practiced shadow split, and his raised hands don't have time to destroy this strange passing route.
Elson may not be a good offensive choice, but when no one is watching, he is a guy who can play in the NBA. There is absolutely no reason to let go of such a free opportunity.
He reteeed the ball and pulled the basket with both hands without any hesitation. A big man of more than two and ten meters made a Celtic basket fiercely. This simple attack made Chen Feng, who retreat and make up for the defense, also helpless.
In fact, after being shaken by Parker, Chen Feng turned around for the first time. With the strong bounce speed, he rose up against Elson, but in the end, he was still a little slower.
"Ma!" Chen Feng watched Elson retreat, and could only grasp the basketball depressingly and patted it very hard. Parker's passing route really made Chen Feng helpless, and he could only endure it.
The Spurs' attack is so simple and efficient. If it were for the Suns, it is estimated that after holding the ball just now, it is likely that Nash gave Stadmeyer a chance to perform an air relay, rather than such a stable ground pass, but this pursuit of stable offensive style is the Spurs' special Point.
The opponent equalized the score, and the retreat speed is very fast, so the Celtics' fast attack can't be played at all. It can only be steadily promoted by Rondo's control of the ball. The rhythm of the whole game is not what they are most used to, but with the old hotness of the Spurs, Popovich will never let people lead his nose to play the game. .
However, the Celtics' offensive firepower can bite a piece of meat on the Rockets. Even if they meet the first defensive efficiency opponent like the Spurs, they can still find a way to tear off the opponent's hard defensive barriers.
Rondo's ball control has been being disturbed, but this guy has also learned a good job this time. He did not rush to hand over the ball directly to Chen Feng as before, but summoned a handful of Chen Feng with small eyes and pulled it out to block and dismantle it.
Chen Feng and Rondo have always been like this. Since the day they entered the Celtics, the two guys have always been a good partner, so as soon as Rondo's side winks, Chen Feng knew what to do. As soon as Rdo controlled the ball and walked near the three-point line at the top of the arc, Chen Feng got rid of El as soon as possible. Sen.
Just now, Parker used his cooperation with old Barry to get rid of Rondo's entanglement. As a result, Chen Feng's general style was very simple and flew Parker. Even if Elson worked hard behind him, Chen Feng's passport was strong and domineering, and the general style was fierce. Li.
Parker is at most a small-displacement French sports car, but he crashed into a standard heavy truck. The result can be imagined that even with Elson's help, the two guys could not withstand Chen Feng.
Especially Elson, his movement speed was a little at a disadvantage. As a result, when he met such an unreasonable guy as Chen Feng, don't expect him to stop anything. In the power confrontation between the two, Elson can't take any advantage. Chen Feng's side is not only blocked Parker, but also stuck. Sen.
Chen Feng suddenly resisted the two people. As a result, Ron found an opportunity and cut directly from the top of the arc. Everything happened again, leaving no chance for the other party to stop him at all.
Old Barry's reaction was very fast, and he was the closest to Rondo's position, so the old guy reached out to stop him, but Rondo threw the basketball accurately at Pierce at the same time as Old Barry had just pasted it.
Blocking, cutting in, passing the ball, from Chen Feng stuck Parker and Elson to Rando's pass, the whole process was very smooth, and when Pierce received the ball, the old Barry had no time to withdraw and block his shot.
As the captain and team leader, although Pierce's middle distance is not a hundred and a hundred, he will not easily miss this opportunity. He grabs the ball in his hand and steadily pushes the basketball with his fingertips. The whole action is standard, and gentle. The basketball is obediently hollow into the basket, and what is left is only the double waved by old Barry. Hands.
"Beautiful pass!" When Pierce retreated, he did not forget to high-five with Ronto to celebrate, and Pierce did not forget to give a thumbs-up to Chen Feng, who was stuck with two pursuers.
"These kids are very patient when attacking." Thibodeau whispered to Rivers while watching his team members retreat on the sidelines. He could see that he wanted to see such a process.
"In terms of the meticulousness of tactical execution, we have a gap with our opponents, which is an indisputable fact. Therefore, we can only pray that these kids can fight more patiently. The more anxious they are, the more opportunities they will be seized by the other party."
Rivers did not cheer for the attack just now. He just gestured to Rondo on the sidelines. He wanted to continue to maintain this way of passing and scoring. Only in this way can he disrupt the defense of the Spurs instead of being obsessed with doing it alone.
Nowitzki's singles ability is strong enough, but in the face of the Spurs, he only got 20 points in front of this intensity of defense, so Rivers did not expect anyone to break the array alone and stage a story of a lonely hero. Before the game, he stressed that he tried not to force himself when the opponent was defending. Once the opportunity is seized by the opponent, the Spurs' quick counterattack is not vegetarian. Their defense is waiting for the opponent to make mistakes. If you don't want to be pulled away little by little, you should cherish every attack and try not to do it recklessly.
Rivers doesn't want to fall behind in the score because he is hit by his opponent's fast counterattacks in a row, so he would rather play this success rate after being forced to reduce the speed, and he doesn't want anyone to stand up and play single-riding. That's very risky.
And the adventurous team can't take advantage of the Spurs. Rivers added 10,000 cautions when facing Popovich. Although it was a little conservative, he thought it was safe enough to play like this.
The Celtics did what Rivers explained. It was not only that Rondo's passing was very patient. In the next six minutes, their transfer was very fast, and the mutual cover and passing combination put a lot of pressure on the Spurs' defense. The Celtics The offensive efficiency is also higher than the first two games. This kind of attack may not be used to before, but it does have a good effect. The Celtics drew at 15:15 in the battle with the Spurs in the past few minutes.
The effect of seven out of ten and seven out of nine is similar, but the Celtics wasted an opportunity to overtake the score, but now just looking at the score, the competition between the two teams is still in a very sticky state.
The scene is not very hot, but there are more collisions between the limbs. The two sides are more like two gladiators. They are still in the tentative stage of each other, but each round of temptation makes each other pay a lot of physical strength.
Just halfway through the first quarter, Popovich has called a pause. Although he doesn't know what the old guy is going to do, Rivers is still eager for the other party to make a change. If he is asked to change his tactics first, he doesn't know what to do. It also needs talent to see such a move. Rivers is still a little bit. Tender.
The competition in the first few minutes made Rivers always feel the pressure given to him by the Spurs. Popovich's tactics have not changed much, but this steady attack will definitely make you feel a headache.
Parker's advance is the same as Rondo. He is steady and changeable, but he is absolutely not irritable. Anyway, he minimizes his mistakes, and when passing the ball, he is also looking for the most stable way as much as possible.
This is how the confrontation between the Celtics and the Spurs has passed through the opening stage. Although it is a little calm, the more than 18,000 fans sitting in the AT&T central stadium do not feel so boring. You really have to admire these loyal supporters of the Spurs. They have never been They booed their own team because the scene was not hot. Even if the pace of the game was slow, these fans were not at problem.
Murphy said to Xie Miaomiao with a joke on the sidelines, "The supporters of the Spurs may be the most calm in the league. They are used to such a game. If this game is in Los Angeles, I can guarantee that those big stars will really start to stand on the side of the court and stamp their feet and curse like ordinary fans. . "
"But the fans of the Spurs will not be like this. Even when they compete with the Pistons for the championship, the game is fragmented, and they will continue to support their team with shouts and cheers. This spirit is not what ordinary people can have. I can't understand this level of loyalty. . "
Speaking of this, Murphy can even think of some scenes of watching the Pistons and Spurs play the finals here. It was really a deeply painful final. In the seven battles, except for fouls, it was a free throw.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to be collectively defined as the most boring NBA finals by NBA officials and media, but you can be relieved by thinking about Popovich and Old Brown.
"The first defensive efficiency in the league seems to be worthy of their name, but the Celtics play very well. Compared with the last game in Houston, they play more efficiently and pay more attention to details today."
Xie Miaomiao has not experienced the seven battles between the Pistons and the Spurs, but looking at the defensive strength of the Spurs now, she can imagine what the situation was like at that time, but that's not what she cares about.
She is now more concerned about Chen Feng's performance and the Celtics' record. As Rivers said, the team should take advantage of this rising momentum to go further in the playoffs this season.
If it can really be as Rivers expected, then Chen Feng and the Celtics should not be satisfied with entering the playoffs. They are playing so hard now just to have a home advantage in the playoffs.
Taking home advantage is naturally to control the situation. Fortunately, it will go further in the playoffs. The first round is definitely not the end that these wild guys can meet.
YAO has been playing in the playoffs for several years, and the Rockets also want to make a breakthrough this season, but if Chen Feng can rush to the second round of the playoffs in the first year, Xie Miaomiao can imagine the influence brought by the results. Maybe the boy's popularity in China will soar to one that no one can predict. To the point.
Xie Miaomiao is the number one pusher behind Chen Feng. She doesn't mind that two Chinese players have achieved good results in the NBA at the same time, but if she chooses someone to support, Chen Feng is obviously the first choice.
Although Chen Feng performed well in the Chinese derby, the team lost in the end, and he was sent off because of the last-minute foul. YAO's free throw decided the final victory.
Many domestic reporters said after the game that Chen Feng's momentum is very strong, but his experience is still a little young.
For the referee's punishment, Xie Miaomiao did not comment on anything, but for the performance of the two people, it was almost as good. Those guys only saw the result, but ignored the comparison of qualifications between YAO Ming and Chen Feng.
One played in the professional league in China, and then went to the NBA's top show. He played the NBA's regular season for several years, while the other was just a wild boy who came out of the streets full of New York gangs. His skills were also sharpened in the fall, and he had just played NB for five months. A regular competition.
It is unfair for these two people to compare together, but Xie Miaomiao did not speak out to refute those colleagues. She firmly believes that Chen Feng's future will be better. Don't forget that he is less than 20 years old.
Although the game was only played for a few minutes, watching the Celtics still not fall behind in the confrontation with the Spurs, Xie Miaomiao hoped that they could win away from home and sweep away the bad luck of losing to the Rockets.
"Oh, God, thank you, do you think the Spurs are so good? I just want to tell you that you are really wrong this time. Popovich's team is just warming up in these few minutes.
"In any case, Doug has been in the NBA for two or three years. It's not that he hasn't played against the Spurs when he coached, so he knows very well that the Spurs haven't really started to work."
"I don't deny that those kids played really well today, but they have always been forced to speed down and deal with their opponents. When did you see Rivers' team calm down and fight with their opponents?"
"All this is forced, because Rondo is stared, their speed is not fast, and the Spurs' retreat has always been very fast, which makes Rivers' fast attack tactics impossible to play, so he can only grind little by little. Although the score is now flat, Doug's nose has been pulled. . "
Although Murphy is a staunch Boston supporter, for the first few minutes of this game, he, an old man who has been in the NBA for nearly 20 years, can naturally see a way.
Xie Miaomiao saw the intuitive reaction of the score, but what Murphy saw at this moment was the inner thing.
Why are the Celtics' results so fierce this season? In addition to the joining of Rondo and Chen Feng, Rivers fixed the whole tactical tone on the basis of playing fast.
Now many teams in the league are playing bombardment and attacking. There are not many teams like the Rockets, Spurs and Pistons that fight the world with defense. When the two teams are more powerful, the Celtics often have the upper hand with fierce play, fast, fierce, accurate and wild. This is Boston's habit. Play.
But today, the Celtics obviously let go of the previous characteristics, that is, to calm down and grind the success rate with the opponent. Even if the shot does not score, it will not turn around in place, but the whole team is retreating quickly and waiting for the opponent to attack in its own half-court. This is completely two kinds of him. How to play!
Although the score was bitten to death, Rivers was too careful. He gave up his strengths and played internal skills with Popovich, which was equivalent to a two-handed axe rage warrior, temporarily switching to play shield battles.
If you are good at this, it's okay, but in front of Popovich, Rivers's three-board axe is not playing smoothly. It may now make the score stalemate in a balance, but who can guarantee that the next game can still maintain this efficiency? Don't forget that the player's feel and physical fitness have changed over time.
Just now, ten shots can hit seven, but what about the next game? Can the Celtics still guarantee such offensive efficiency? And don't forget that it's Popovich who shouted for a pause. Maybe no one knows what the old guy wants to do. It's not a good idea to wait to see the Spurs change first. If the mature team wants to make some changes, it's not a simple change. It's likely to be a shocking charge!
Murphy can smell a dangerous smell in the AT&T central stadium and ferment in the air...
