Chapter 499 Under the Basket

Bet on the treasure, go to the basket! This is the "Zen master"'s response. He didn't expect Kobe to eat the whole game. After all, his opponent is not a soft persimmon, which can make the Lakers play at home like this.

After all, this is a competition on the stage of the finals. If Boston is so easy to bully, it is impossible to get out of the East. What's more, those guys' way to advance is much easier than the Lakers.

Although the Lakers caught the Celtics off guard at the beginning, the opponent's response made an old fox like Jackson instinctively feel a little dangerous.

The main reason is that the Celtics' counterattack is so fast that even such a hot coach as "Zen Master" did not expect it.

Fisher just grabbed a 2+1, but after dozens of seconds, the Celtics had completed the score and suppressed the Lakers in momentum, which made Jackson feel very dangerous.

At this time, you can't play according to the rhythm of your opponent. After the pause, the Lakers' adjustment is to deal with the Celtics counterattack. The momentum after the opening must be slowed down and stabilized.

Kobe's attack is very sharp, but if you fight with the Celtics at this time, it is obvious that the Lakers will suffer more. This is their home court. The shouts of the fans are like stimulants, which will encourage the group of crazy people in Boston to oppress the Lakers. Once the hit rate drops, it must be a disaster. Difficult.

Grind in the safest way! This is what Phil Jackson thinks at the moment. In the more than a minute just now, the Celtics chased seven points in a row! This has sounded a wake-up call for the Lakers and himself.

Why are the green shirts so terrible this season? Not to mention who will destroy whom, at least in terms of record, most of the teams have been destroyed, and if you meet them, it is impossible to guarantee that you can win.

This point is simply terrible. No matter who is good, as long as they collide with the Celtics, they often fail before the battle. In addition to the fact that the opponent is too fierce, the main reason is that they can't withstand the counterattack of the Green Shirts!

You may be able to stay ahead of the score at the beginning or at a certain point in the game, but once those Bostonians start to fight back, they will complete the overtaking in a short time.

After a season's regular season, they have performed countless such scenes. At the beginning of the season, how did their more than 20 consecutive wins come about? That's how it rushed down!

It's often that others are leading in the score, but they don't pay attention to it. I'll go! The difference of more than ten points disappeared in an instant, maybe three minutes, maybe five minutes. Anyway, you didn't wait for the reaction. The score has long been rewritten by those Bostonians! Who can stand this! Work hard for half a day and a night to fight back before liberation!

This kind of destruction is simply the greatest willpower for people, and it makes you not see any hope at all.

When many teams play against the Celtics, even if they lead by six or seven points, they dare not relax at all, because they don't know that if they are stunned, the gap may be gone in a blink of an eye!

No one is willing to always make their nerves tight. It feels terrible. If you are always like this, your life expectancy may be a few years. This kind of explosive power is really a big killer!

The Celtics' fierce guy has the ability to turn the game in a short time. The "Zen Master" has also paid attention to this for a long time. After all, he has also played in the regular season, and he has also experienced this threat.

So just now, when the Celtics attacked a wave of 7:0 small **, Jackson immediately called for a pause.

He doesn't want his opponent's explosive offensive power to be reflected at this time, so the Lakers will be bad.

To stabilize the rhythm of the game is to hold down the opponent's explosive power, drag it, and drag the opponent and yourself on the court! The wisdom of a Zen master is often reflected in its adaptability.

Rivers changed his playing style when he saw the timeout for the Lakers. He was not a fool. He knew what his opponent was going to do at a glance, but he also had to admire the timely response of the old fox "Zen Master".

If you give the Celtics one more minute, the explosive power of those animals may really cause a fatal blow to their opponents. They recovered seven points in the dozens of seconds just now. How horrible their attack power is!

But as soon as the pace of the game slowed down, the Lakers' triangular attack habit, which had long been developed under the ** of the "Zen Master", had already been shown. They were playing slowly on the offensive end.

But if you follow their pace, the Lakers will often be slow and suddenly give you fast. This kind of position battle is easier to control for Los Angeles people with superior height.

Odom, Gasol and the strong Bynum, these three people are stuck near the three-second zone.

Bynum will definitely defend the basket, but Gasol and Odom's movements can obviously make up for various gaps in the inside defense. Three big guys who are more than two meters are just across the inside line and stick to the three-second zone!

"Control the inside line and don't let the opponent cut in easily. Take the initiative in the competition for rebounding!"

This is the adjustment made by Phil Jackson during the timeout. He did not consider anything else. Now in the face of the internal threat of Garnett and Chen Feng, he must first stabilize his position before considering the efficiency of the attack.

I have to say that this old guy's hotness is reflected in these details. Everyone knows how strong the Celtics' internal power is, not only the bounce, but also the impact of the two guys.

The personal ability of "Wolf King" has long been proved, and this must be one of the top insides in the league.

And Chen Feng's existence is a highly explosive weapon. If he hadn't attacked two in a row on the inside line just now, maybe the Celtics' counterattack operation would not have started so quickly.

But now he has done this, which also puts pressure on Jackson. In order to prevent this explosive killer from passing through the three-second zone so unscrupulously, the Lakers firmly wrapped the area under the basket!

Your mobility is strong, but I won't give you space to move. My inner line will continue to exert pressure not only in height, but also in the defense bag. It will keep you out of the most dangerous area!

"Zen Master" did not think from the beginning that the cooperation between Garnett and Chen Feng could be contained by one person, so when he had a combination of Gasol, Bynum and Odom, he made up his mind to gain an advantage in an area and put the Celtics. This inner combination is trapped in a small space.

Make them unable to move, at least weaken their offensive threat, and even force Rivers to adjust, put the Celtics' offensive fire point on the periphery, and bet on their own hit rate!

"Zen Master" is not afraid that the opponent will fire on the periphery. The farther away from the basket, the smaller the threat will be. On this point, he is fully confident. Even if the Celtics' attack can open the situation, it is much better than losing the inside line. Under the basket, within three seconds, this is the most dangerous area. If it is lost here, the game will be over. It is.

Now Jackson is going to slow down this rhythm, then break the Celtics' offensive routine, and let Rivers passively choose Pierce and Ray Allen as the main attack! Leave the shooting point on the periphery!

This is actually very risky. After all, the Celtics' three-point fire net is not without it. Ray Allen naturally needs to say more. In addition to him, there are also Novak and Pierce can also fire at medium and long distances.

There are also Kassel and Hardaway on the bench. At least Rivers has four or five pitchers available.

If it really drives the Celtics crazy, the situation that the Lakers will face away from home is also very bad.

But that's what Jackson gambled. He would rather have loopholes in the outside than be defeated. What's more, there are Kobe Bryant and Fisher on the periphery. Although Odom is a three-second defense, he is not a dead guard!

In the face of Kobe's entanglement, it is still unknown whether Ray Allen can take action at will, and Jackson let go to keep an eye on the periphery, because Rondo guy does not have the ability to fire remotely.

When arranging the tactics, Jackson said that if the Celtics are looking for opportunities in the periphery and use the cover of passing back and forth, then you can let go of Rondo if necessary, as long as you are stuck and don't let him inside. If you shoot, you can let him shoot! With such a weakness that can't be used, Jackson is not an idiot!

Unless Rivers changes the point guard, he can't crack the Lakers' five-to-four defensive strategy. Now Jackson is not only betting on whether Rivers will be replaced, but also whether the opponent will attack and move out.

After all, the basket has been blocked. It's not so easy to break through this dilemma. Even if the combination of Garnett and Chen Feng has a strong impact, you don't have space. How can you start the attack?

In the three or four minutes after the Lakers adjusted their tactics, the offensive efficiency of both sides plummeted. The Celtics only had two of four shots, and the Lakers also had one of three shots, but they had one more free throw.

The Celtics scored 4 points, and the Lakers also scored 3 points. Fisher's second free throw failed to hit accurately, but now the score is deadlocked at 18:18, and no one has taken a little advantage.

"Zen master" is not a "divine operator", but his tactical adjustment has thrown the choice to Rivers.

He just wants to see how his opponent will deal with it at this time, whether to shrink back and grind to the end, or adjust according to Jackson's idea now to break the deadlock on the field?

However, Jackson has predicted the consequences of these two possibilities. He just waits to see the trick, but in this way, every step of Rivers will be calculated to death by him.

Just a minute later, Rivers gave Jackson a way to deal with it, but the result was not what the "Zen master" wanted. The fat Rivers chose the craziest way.

After Rondo, Ray Allen took over the point guard, Pierce withdrew to play against Kobe, and the one replaced by Rivers was a big guy that even the "Zen master" did not expect, Chris Webb!

Copy! That guy Doug is really crazy! He actually changed to another insider! This is to make up your mind to fight with the Lakers under the basket! God, the three-second zone is probably going to be crowded!"

Not to mention that Barkley seemed very excited at this time. Even the "Zen master" who had been calm just now was a little confused by Rivers's substitution adjustment. What is that guy doing? Go to the three inside lines!?

This answer is yes. Rondo has been sitting on the bench in a towel, while Weber appeared in Jackson's uncertain eyes, which was completely unexpected than the "Zen master"!

He calculated a lot of things, but he didn't think that Rivers would do this, Garnett, Chen Feng and Webb! The Celtics play harder than the Lakers.

Don't you want to block the three-second zone? Then I will play with you to the end! I'll take the first step and just get inside. Is Boston afraid of this? The animals from the three strikers gathered in the three-second zone.

Isn't it an insider! Then I will fight with you to the end and see who will be killed in the inside line in the end!

Rivers didn't have too much advice on the sidelines, but shouted at Chen Feng and Garnett, "Take the control of the three-second zone! The space under the basket belongs to you!"

That fat guy, at this moment, really means a little domineering...
