Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 288 Three Realms of Beating James!
One of the biggest highlights of this game between the Lakers and the Celtics is the duel between James and Wade.

After the two brothers turned against each other, James made it clear that he wanted to step on Wade to achieve his greatness, and by the way, he wanted to throw the pot of failures of the past few years on Wade.

So what James said before the start of the game can be said to have broken Wade's heart.

He has already achieved this level for James, and in the end, he was still treated like that by James. He didn't know how to explain, but, Coach D said, he didn't need to explain, as long as he beat James in this game, he would be able to It reminds me of how powerful the five-centimeter short Jordan was 10 years ago.

At that time, Wade didn't even need to defend himself. No one dared to say what he said now.

Wade believed it.

So, when Wade and James appeared on the court together.

The scene of Wade's mental collapse that James was waiting for did not appear.

Wade is a consumable for him to move wherever he needs it. Now he needs to score [-] points on Wade's head. Therefore, in this game, he needs to use Wade to sacrifice the flag.

Wade has a high reputation and has performed very well this season. He is in the top five of the MVP rankings. There is nothing better than directly KO'ing Wade and Curry, the two MVP favorites.

Based on what he knew about Wade, as long as he said those words, Wade's mentality would definitely collapse. Then in this game, he could fight whatever he wanted to face Wade.

With Coach D's character, Wade collapsed, and Coach D will not give up on Wade, and may even trust Wade even more.

This is why he jumped up and fought Wade before the game.

This season, he is too eager for the MVP!
The double MVP champion can wash away the dirty water that has been poured on him by Coach D in the past few years.

If the MVP is finally given to Seth Curry, Oden or Wade this season, he will not be able to sleep!
Even, for him, the stage has been set for him for the people behind him, and now is the time for him to actively move to the center of the stage.

He has no way!
"Dwyane, I really have no choice! Since you are useless in the Lakers now, then, die for me again on the court!"

James took a deep look at Wade and didn't speak.

While Wade looked at James who had no expression on his face at this time, he was still in a daze.

He wanted to see from James' face that what he said before the game was true, whether it was in LeBron's heart, and he really saw him that way.

Do you really think that he was cheated by himself in the Heat? Do you really think that he, Dwyane Wade, is a villain who is holding James back in the Heat.

Is it really a cripple who sucks James' blood, clown.

Wade wanted to see something, but in the end, Wade couldn't see anything.

This made Wade's heart filled with disappointment in an instant.

Although before his debut, the coach had told him that the only thing he could do in this game was to kill, to rush like crazy, to kill like crazy.

However, he still has great expectations.

However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

The opening jump ball of this game was the Lakers' thick eyebrow win, and the Lakers took the lead in the second quarter.

McAway received Jokic's baseline serve and was about to break fast.

The Lakers' rotation in the second quarter was McAway, Wade, Pierce, Covington and Jokic.

It's a full rotation with one big and four small.

On the Celtics side, the rotation is Smart, Evan Turner, Jack Crowder, Jeff Green, James.

Except for James, the Celtics also have a full rotation, and it is a very special full rotation.

The five players on the Celtics side are all that kind of striker.

Even Marcus Smart, who is a point guard, is 1 meters tall and is very good at defense.

Obviously, the Celtics' rotation is imitating Pat Riley's five-forward tactics.

Du Kang was not surprised by this.

In the Christmas game, the Celtics led by 28 points in the first half. In the second half, the situation changed suddenly. The Celtics actually had no chance to use the five-forward strategy.

Even in the simulation, the Celtics got off to a good start every time, so even in the simulation, Du Kang never saw the shadow of the five frontmen.

In other words, at that time, the Celtics did not practice the five-forward tactics well.

Therefore, this game is definitely the first time the Celtics have used the five-forward tactic in a game.

Seeing the five-forward formation played by the Celtics on the court, the commentary seats were in an uproar.

The experts in front of the TV were also in an uproar at this time.

Obviously, they didn't expect that the Celtics could still make up a five-forward lineup! ! !
Pat Riley in front of the TV was stunned.

The head coach of the Celtics, Magic Monty, is a god-man, and he can relate to every faction in the NBA.

He is a disciple of Larry, he is also a disciple of Bobo, he has studied under old Nelson, and he has also studied with Pat Riley.

When he fought Du Kang for the first time, he invited all his masters.

After so many years, Monty Williams dreamed about the first confrontation with Coach D, and dreamed of recreating that game.

That game was his peak!

After that game, he could no longer find that peak feeling.

After all, the Pelicans are not a team with a stable lineup, and he doesn't have the resources to replicate these systems. Even if he has been studying hard over the years, he doesn't have the resources.

And now, there is!

The Celtics have the people, the resources.

After the Christmas game, his status in the Celtics has risen, and he can also play the system he wants in the team.

From December 12th to February 25th, in almost two months, he finally came up with a tactical system in the Celtics!
For the Celtics' starting system, he needs to consider the feelings of the Big Five. The lineup cannot be messed up. There is no system that can satisfy the Big Five. Therefore, in the starting lineup, he did not move.

But in the rotation lineup, Magic Monty moved, and once he made a shot, it was amazing!
Not to mention these experts, fans, and even Pat Riley were shocked, you can imagine.

"I didn't expect that Monty really got it together..."

Pat Riley's eyes widened in surprise.

Five front tactics, in fact, people are the most difficult to get together.

Then there is the core of the system.

Smart, the No. 1 pick a year ago, chose to play in the NCAA for another year, and finally fell to the Celtics. He can defend, has athletic ability, impact, and has a certain ability to pass and control. A height of 93 meters is suitable.

Turner, the role model four years ago, but he didn't play out. The 76ers have a new team building core and chose not to renew his contract, and no other team is willing to take over. A mediocre player, in the end, the 2-year 700 million mini-middle class went to the Celtics.

Jae Crowder, a second-round pick three years ago, was signed by Danny Ainge after two years in the league.

Turner and Jae Crowder are also the second reason for preventing Garnett and Pierce from returning to the Celtics. The Celtics chose to give these two spots instead of Pierce and Garnett.

The stature of these two people is indeed very suitable for playing five fronts, but do they have this ability?
Pat Riley was full of curiosity.

Jeff Green and James will not talk about it.

These two have a great reputation in the NBA, and there is no problem for the two of them to play five forwards.

Just when Pat Riley was curious, Popovich in front of the TV was also curious, and his face was even ugly.

Pat Riley is no longer on the front line. He can look at the Celtics' five forwards with a more relaxed attitude, but he, Popovich and the Spurs can't do it!
The Spurs have indeed been rebuilt this season, but the Spurs have not given up the championship!

Warriors coach Cole and Rockets coach D'Antoni also have this mentality.

Especially D'Antoni, he even felt that the five strikers made by Miraculous Monty in the Celtics were aimed at him!

In the current league, whether it's coach D's Falk basketball + unlimited singles, or his running and bombing plus unlimited defense, they actually try to make the lineup as light and small as possible.

This is the general trend of the NBA. Big centers are not useless. If you have a big center like Yao Ming, of course you are invincible.

However, there is only one Yao Ming, and Yao Ming is still injured and has been reimbursed for the season.

Under such circumstances, when Oden has not fully proved himself, a small lineup is invincible.

Even Coach D has played a small lineup!

However, among so many small lineups, the most restrained other small lineups must be the five strikers!

The five forwards have all the advantages of a small lineup, without the disadvantages of a small lineup. They can attack and defend, and their height is not a big disadvantage.

If the Celtics really practiced the five-forward strategy, then who can beat this team?

If the Celtics really practice the five-forward tactics, even if they are not invincible, the difficulty of defeating the Celtics will be infinite.

"Bobo, Coach D must be panicking now!"

Popovich nodded.

"Anyone who encounters such a situation will panic."

Even if I am myself, I will panic when I see a team like the Celtics come up with such a lineup. This is definitely not a joke.

In fact, the Lakers players on the court quickly let all the audience see their panic.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics came up with a five-forward tactic, and Smart quickly pressed McAway.

McAway used his super explosive power to break through Smart. So far, McAway has done a good job, but obviously he underestimated the difference between the full-court pressing of five strikers and the full-court pressing of ordinary lineups. of.

fast!
One word, is fast!

If there is one more word, it is too fast!

McAway had just thrown off Smart through an explosion, and James' flanking attack came.

Just as McAway was about to turn around to protect the ball and was about to pass it out, Smart, whom he got rid of just now, appeared behind him and cut the basketball out of his hand!

As soon as the second quarter came up, the Lakers made a mistake!

This stunned the Lakers fans at the scene!
You know, at the end of the first quarter, the morale of the Lakers was like a rainbow, chasing the 20-point difference to only 2 points!
The Lakers fans at the scene are now waiting for Wade to beat James hard, and the Lakers lead the score in the second quarter!
Now as soon as the second quarter came up, Smart made a steal, James made a fast break, and then there was a bang!
32 is better than 28!

James' dunk opened the score between the two teams to 4 points!
James' flanking, catching the ball, and fast break all in one go, without any extra moves!
After the dunk, James immediately extended his right index finger to the magical Monty on the sidelines.

"LeBron James is paying tribute to the amazing Monty!!!"

"The five forwards played by Magic Monty in the Celtics rotation are tailor-made for LeBron James!"

"LeBron James loves basketball like this!!!"

James likes the Celtics' style of play, which is visible to the naked eye, and the smile on his face is so happy.

Compared with positional shooting, this kind of fast break is his romance!
And on the defensive end, everyone around him can defend. He only needs to sweep, help defend, and help connect in the middle. Everyone around can do hard work. This is also something that makes James feel very comfortable.

more importantly!
Wu Feng, he is familiar with it!
In the Heat, he has always played the core of the five-forward, just because the Big Three has Chris Bosh, so the Heat's five-forward is not a five-forward externally, but the core is definitely the core of the five-forward.

So, this is a proper two-way rush!

In fact, James himself did not expect that Magic Monty would play a five-forward tactical system in the team's rotation.

Watching James pay tribute to the amazing Monty at this time, the Lakers fans at the scene were silent.

"I knew that every time I played Magic Monty, there would be nothing easy!"

"Every time Coach D meets Magical Monty, some moths will appear!"

"However, the great Coach D, doesn't seem to be panicking now?"

"Wait! I seem to know why Coach D left McAway, Wade and Pierce on the bench!!! Coach D wouldn't have expected that Magic Monty would play five forwards in the rotation stage of this game, right? !!!”

Kenny Smith looked at Coach D who was applauding the Lakers players on the side of the court, his eyes widened, and he stood up excitedly.

After Kenny Smith shouted loudly, O'Neill next to him was also a little dumbfounded.

"Coach D deliberately kept Wade, Pierce, and McAway in the rotation. Isn't it to preserve Wade's physical strength and let McAway and Pierce help Wade consume James by the way?!"

In fact, not only O'Neill thinks so.

Even James himself thinks so. He feels that coach D put Wade on the bench, and then McAway and Pierce, two players who are worthy of him, do not start, just to consume him and protect Wade.

Even James thinks so. It can be seen that this is the consensus.

After all, in the duel between James and Wade, no fool would believe that Wade can beat James one-on-one under normal circumstances, right?

Therefore, there is no problem for Coach D to make such an arrangement.

But now, the hypothesis put forward by Kenny Smith is very interesting!

"Mike, this is the first time the Celtics have played five fronts in an official game, right?"

"I'm sure, it's the first time!"

Budenholzer said with great certainty, while Popovich was still skeptical.

If it was really the first time to use it, how could Coach D have guessed it before the game?

but!

Popovich looked at Coach D, who was applauding the Lakers on TV.

If it wasn't really predicted before the game, why didn't coach D panic at all?
And at this moment, another exclamation came from the TV!
"No, the Lakers are going to make another mistake!!!"

The game continued in the second quarter, and the Lakers continued to attack.

Wade was still a little dazed by the indifferent James.

So it was McAway and Pierce who took the ball.

In fact, with the strength of McAway and Pierce, even if Wade is in a trance now, there is no problem for the two of them.

This time McAway didn't stick the ball either. After using his super explosive power to pass Smart's close defense, McAway immediately passed the ball to Pierce.

but!

James is so fast!

James was just about to come over to pinch himself. After he passed the ball to Pierce, James immediately returned to Pierce, and Evan Turner, who switched to Pierce, completed the pinch on Pierce.

The frequency of Pierce handling the ball is a bit slow. This is a common problem of veteran stars, and he has to dribble twice to get the ball.

Pierce, Carter, Wheat, Kobe, and Iverson all have such problems.

But this time, it's definitely not Pierce's fault.

Because he had no luck at all, he was caught on the sideline by James and Turner!

Pierce is also witty, jumping up directly, and smashing the basketball in his hand towards James.

James couldn't avoid it, and Pierce's basketball smashed hard on his knee.

However, after James was smashed by Pierce, the direction of the rebound of the basketball was not to the outside, but to Pierce!

Pierce is witty.

James is also very witty!

Unavoidable, James, with his wit, finally rebounded the basketball to Pierce.

In the end, Pierce still made a mistake, the Lakers still made a mistake, and the Celtics had the ball.

Evan Turner quickly served the sideline ball, but James didn't manage the ball and rushed directly to the frontcourt.

For James, there is no Garnett, no Barkley, no Antetokounmpo and Ebanks inside the Lakers, it's so fucking cool!
This time the Celtics failed to form a fast break.

Fight positional warfare.

James still reached the Lakers' basket!
After James' football breakthrough broke through Pierce, he went directly to Jokic at the basket.

Facing James' breakthrough, Jokic's defense is still at the first level.

Watching the ball is the realm of the ball.

So seeing James take three steps, Jokic jumped up.

As everyone knows, James can still take the fourth step!

In the end, Jokic could only stare dumbfounded as James rode on him and completed the one-handed dunk!

34 is better than 28!

The Celtics continue to widen the point difference!

And the Celtics brought by James are doing a lot of killing!

After James smashed Jokic, he glanced at the parallel import champion with disdain.

What the hell, he was almost drafted to the Celtics by Danny Ainge, and almost got tricked by this parallel importer!
Compared with this parallel import, the thick eyebrows bought by Wiggins with the sixth pick are as fragrant as they are!
This parallel import champion is also coach D's baby, and he can't even match the thick eyebrows!
Being killed by James with a walking smash, in terms of Jokic's personality, this kid is so angry now, he can't wait to kill him on the spot and argue with James.

But in the end, Jokic was held back by his teammate Pierce.

"Nicolas, if you want to be sent off, go talk to LeBron James!"

"Nicolas, do you think you are the real son of the NBA, or Adam Silver's real father!"

Jokic suddenly discovered that he was neither the real son of the NBA, nor the real father of Adam Silver.

In the end, Jokic could only bear it.

Seeing Jokic's angry appearance, Oden in front of the TV smiled bitterly.

"Boy, just get used to it...you still have something to learn."

Oden recalled the appearance when he was played by James' Tianlong Babu, and the bitter smile on his face turned into a sweet memory.

"There are three realms of defending James' breakthrough."

"The first level is to watch the ball as the ball and the people as people. This means that when defensive players defend James, they only look at the surface."

"The second level is to see the ball is not the ball, and the person is not the person. This refers to the defensive player, who has begun to learn to think about the meaning behind basketball. James, it is not necessary to abide by the rules of basketball. Greg, when you reach this level , you can sometimes see through James' breakthroughs, and sometimes you can defend James' breakthroughs."

"The third level is also the last level. Watching the ball is still the ball, and seeing people is still the person. This means that when the defensive players face James, they have a complete understanding. Rules-abiding basketball and breakthroughs are still just ordinary people playing ordinary basketball. No matter how many steps James takes in front of him, he will still attack the basket in the end. If you can understand the final rules of basketball games, if you can understand human nature , James and his basketball, in front of you, there will be no secrets."

It's the secret weapon Yao taught him to defend against James.

Ultimately, Oden felt he had only reached the second level.

As for the highest level of the third level, Auden felt that he was still a bit short now.

Maybe in this world, only Yao has reached the third level?

In front of Yao, LeBron James, no matter how many steps he takes, is really like a little chicken!
At the beginning of the second quarter, he forced the Lakers to make two mistakes in a row, and at the same time he scored 4 points in a row, which made James almost extremely excited.

A mere Jokic also wants to rush over to find himself solo, this kid, do you really think he is worthy?
"I am the champion, you are also the champion, I am the emperor, and you are just a parallel trash!"

Jokic, who was pulled by Pierce, felt like he was about to explode.

Serbs, when did you ever counsel?

Even Milicic, the runner-up in the parallel import list, has never been persuaded in the NBA!

But, as Pierce said, James can mess with you, but if you mess with James, then, get out!
If he really fucks off, the coach will definitely blow him up!

The coach allows them to be 30 for 0 on the court, and the coach absolutely does not allow them to bring down the team for their own personal grievances.

Jokic is a very smart guy.

He understands this.

"Next attack, I'll come!"

Jokic has to take the initiative to undertake the next attack, and the players on the Lakers have no objections.

but!

"The key now is that we need to hit the ball into Nikola's hands, and we can't make any more mistakes!"

After Pierce finished speaking, the other players on the court almost subconsciously looked at Wade.

Facing the five forwards, McAway and Pierce still have a little less ball control points.

Covington and Jokic's possession of the ball is not stable now.

Wade needs to step up.

As the player who really wants to fight James in this game, James has already ridden the face of the Lakers to output, can Wade still bear it now?
Two consecutive mistakes let Pierce and the Lakers players know what they are missing now, and they lack a person who makes the Celtics dare not attack Pierce and McAway so unscrupulously.

And Wade is the best candidate!
McAway once again dribbled the ball across the half.

Smart's press came again.

Because of the previous two sweet spots, the defensive strength of the Celtics' five forwards is improving.

McAway isn't even that easy to pop!

"Mikaway passed the ball! Oh my god! Wade caught the ball!!!"

Seeing Wade take the initiative to rely on Jack Crowder behind him to receive the pass from McAway, the Lakers fans on the scene immediately became excited after a burst of exclamation!

At this time, James was equally excited.

After Wade turned his back and passed Jack Crowder, James immediately waved Crowder to switch to Pierce, and he himself came in front of Wade.

James is too familiar with Wade!
Wade is equally familiar with James!
The two don't know how many times they have played one-on-one and how many times they have played one-on-one on the training ground.

Of course, the end result must be that Wade wins more.

One-on-one has always been Wade's strong point, not James' strong point!
However, the game is not the same as American heads-up, there is no three-dribble rule, and there are no rules about what the defender must not do.

James directly pushed forward.

Not even James intends to give Wade any chance of dribbling.

Wearing a godly outfit, even if the defensive strength exceeds the line, the referee will not blow it.

James' advantage is too great!
Wade wanted to distance himself, but James ran straight into it!
People fall, the ball flies!

And James, grabbing the basketball that Wade dropped, went straight to the fast break!

Seeing Wade who was knocked to the ground, everyone was dumbfounded!
Even Paul on the sidelines and Anthony in front of the TV are stupid!
When Dwyane was taking a step back, he bumped into him!
LeBron, this is to make Dwyane really abolished! !
Clang!
James dunks!
36 is better than 28!

The score continues to increase!

Wade was still sitting on the ground, looking at James who came over.

Wade held out his hand, but James ignored it.

even!

"Dwyane, what are you fighting me with!"

James finished speaking in Wade's ear with a smile, and then left with a smile.

And Wade, who was completely dumbfounded, was left behind.

"My goodness!!!"

This plot!
James knows traffic! ! !

But James didn't notice.

His traffic baby sitting on the ground completely lost focus in his eyes!
Looking at Wade who seemed to change from color to black and white.

Du Kang on the sidelines smiled.
