Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 568 The collapse of the Celtics, Coach D’s ultimate control!
Coach D is going to find the fathers of the Celtics' five starting players in this game!

Soon, Barkley's speculation spread across the Internet.

Barkley's guess is very consistent with Coach D's personality.

Do you want to be Jordan's dad?

Then let you be sons first!
The Celtics attacked, and as soon as Duncan came on, he let James know what it meant for a father to beat his son. Now, when James beat Duncan, it was like a son beating his father.

The "Who's your daddy!" from all the Bobcats fans in the stadium shocked the whole world!
The game on the court continued, and this time it was the Bobcats' turn to attack.

The Celtics' defense is man-to-man defense.

Among them, Smart, who was defending Rose, began to press Rose in the backcourt.

Since Smart was promoted to the starting lineup, he has performed very well in the playoffs. Except for his unstable offense, he can defend, run, and jump, and he can also steal and pass the ball under the basket.

It can be said that it meets the Celtics' current requirements for point guards.

As for the problem of unstable offense, if Smart really wants to have Paul's level of offense, no, if he wants to have Lowry's level of offense, Smart will probably have to start as an All-Star, or even a quasi-superstar.

Smart became famous in the finals last season, and he became famous for defending Wade. Although he was not able to really defend Wade, he did cause a lot of trouble to Wade.

Therefore, Smart is full of confidence on the defensive end. Even if his opponent is Rose, Smart dares to press Rose directly throughout the court.

Seeing Smart being so arrogant and brave, the Celtics fans who were very angry with James at the scene were of course very excited and happy.

"Smart, go be Rose's dad!!!"

who's your daddy?

Of course Smart is Rose's father!

The Celtics fans, who were embarrassed by the chants of the Bobcats fans at the scene, are now loudly supporting Smart.

Then, the Celtics fans watched in shock as their sophomore rookie was instantly defeated by Rose!
Crotch!

confrontation!

accelerate!
Rose waved his hand to tell Duncan and O'Neal not to come over to help. He easily broke through Smart in a one-on-one situation and pushed the ball to the frontcourt.

Smart still sticks with Rose.

Keep harassing Rose outside the three-point line.

Smart's defensive tenacity is indeed amazing.

If it were an ordinary point guard, facing Smart's confrontation intensity and defensive toughness, it would probably be very uncomfortable.

I'm afraid he would have already called for cover and help from his teammates.

But Rose didn't call for a screen, didn't call for help, and didn't choose to pass the ball.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Rose made two consecutive hip-dunks, slightly shook off Smart, and immediately broke through to the right, but Smart still caught up!
The trick to defending Rose is that as long as he speeds up, he will definitely break through.

However, this time, Rose actually stepped back!
Looking at Rose who had already stepped back to the three-point line, Smart twisted his knees and chased him from the inside to the outside!
Given Smart's size, it is too difficult for him to make a sharp turn after sudden braking!
After Smart completed the turn, his feet slipped and he knelt on one knee.

And Rose had already pulled it up high in front of him!

Three point shot!
And it was Rose's step-back three-pointer!!!
"Oh my god!! Are you sure this is Rose, not Kobe?!!!"

"When Rose learns how to step back and shoot a three-pointer, the NBA should have entered the finale!!!"

Rose's breakthrough is not the so-called strongest breakthrough in history that relies on walking like James.

Rose's breakthrough is truly a first-class breakthrough in history.

If Rose can step back and shoot three-pointers, then there is no way to defend him!
A swipe!
Smart heard the sound of a basketball hitting the net behind him.

After hitting the three-pointer, Rose didn't even look at Smart, as if his super singles just now were just a casual shot and he didn't feel happy at all.

And this is definitely the most uncomfortable thing for Smart.

He really hoped that after Rose scored this goal, he would show off in front of him, so that he would feel that his presence was valued by Rose.

Now, he just felt that he was nothing but air in Ross's eyes!
Just like when James was in front of Duncan, Duncan didn't take James, who could never beat him, seriously at all.

And now he is also not in Ross's eyes.

Smart is in a bad mood.

At this time, all the Bobcats fans in the stadium shouted "Who's your daddy!" again.

However, this time it’s not King James.

It's Smart!
Smart wanted to disrupt Rose's rhythm by pressing the entire court, but was humiliated by Rose very calmly. Moreover, Rose didn't feel like he had done anything big.

This is no worse than Duncan beating up James just now, which scared James so much that he didn't dare to shoot.

After the shouts of "King James, who is your daddy!", the entire Charlotte arena cheered and shouted "Smart, who is your daddy!"

Seeing the Bobcats fans cheering and shouting at the scene, the audience in front of the TV and the fans on the Internet believed Barkley's guess even more.

Coach D rested Jordan and Beasley in this game just to find fathers for the five Celtics players!

Smart's counterpart is Rose.

James' counterpart is Duncan.

So, what about Leonard?!

When the Celtics attacked, Leonard forcefully pushed Ding Yanyuhang behind him. Ding Yanyuhang's defensive skills are really top-notch now, and after his potential is fully developed, his abilities will also be top-notch.

But he is still a little thinner than Leonard.

Therefore, Leonard was right to choose to back up Ding Yanyuhang.

Moreover, Leonard's first mid-range fadeaway jump shot hit over Ding Yanyuhang's head.

When Leonard was in the Raptors, the Raptors traded him for Ding Yanyuhang, but the Bobcats rejected it.

Whether he is willing to come to the Bobcats is his business, but he was rejected in the trade for Ding Yanyuhang, which really made him feel humiliated.

Although he is not the type of person who would yell at Ding Yanyuhang, he still cares about him very much.

Therefore, Leonard gave his first attack of the game to Ding Yanyuhang.

After the hit, the Celtics fans at the scene began to shout the Bobcats slogan, Who is your daddy!
But it didn't last long.

The Bobcats were on offense, and O'Neal took the initiative to set an off-ball pick-and-roll with Ding Yanyuhang. O'Neal switched Leonard in front of himself, then carried Leonard all the way to the basket and raised his right hand. Parker outside understood what he meant and threw the basketball in his hand into the air. O'Neal rode on Leonard to complete a one-handed dunk!
Good guy!
What was even more shocking to the fans at the scene and the viewers in front of the TV was that, looking back, the Bobcats were on defense and O'Neal did not quickly return to his own half.

Instead, he used the forward-forcing tactic against Leonard!

"So fast, O'Neal is now fast, flexible, and extremely strong in confrontation!!!"

O'Neal is very fast and flexible now, but it is impossible for him to completely lock Leonard in the backcourt.

O'Neal mainly gave Leonard enough confrontation.

Leonard's physical strength is not that strong.

The amount of physical energy consumed when competing against a big center can be imagined.

What surprised Leonard was that when O'Neal returned to defend outside the three-point line, he was also defending Leonard!

Leonard simply couldn't post up after catching the ball.

Either he would hold the ball and face off against O'Neal, or he would run without the ball, looking for an opportunity to receive the ball.

Leonard is the only superstar of the Celtics. When the opponent uses a big center to defend him, of course he has to play one-on-one and punish his opponent!
Otherwise, wouldn't this super giant of his seem to be unworthy of its name?

If he didn't have the ball, there was certainly no way O'Neal could completely outrun Leonard.

But after Leonard had the ball, O'Neal's defense against Leonard became relatively easy.

Leonard simply couldn't find a good opportunity facing O'Neal's defense.

Finally, as time was running out, Leonard could only throw a three-pointer against O'Neal.

Blacksmithing!

Then, looking back, O'Neal found Leonard again!
It’s still so easy and so simple!
After being dunked on by O'Neal again, Leonard became a little autistic!

He didn't look at O'Neal who was dunking on him, but looked at Coach D on the sidelines.

With his intelligence, it is not difficult to see that Coach D did this on purpose!
In this game, Coach D didn’t want Ding Yanyuhang to be his father, but wanted O’Neal to be his father! “Coach D actually wants O’Neal to be Leonard’s father!”

"I bet that before this, there must be a lot of people who think that Coach D wants O'Neal to be the father of Davis!!!"

"It turns out that the son Coach D found for O'Neal is Leonard!!!"

After noticing Leonard's look, Du Kang smiled.

Since you are already a super giant with excellent offense and defense, anyone who is smaller than you or the same size as you cannot be your father.

Even if you put Durant, Beasley or Grant Hill in front of it, they can't be your father.

In that case, let me use someone who is above the standard to deal with you.

When playing against the 76ers, couldn't you match up against Embiid and defeat him on both offense and defense?

Now that Embiid has been defeated, let's try O'Neal!
Try it, Leonard will die!
For Leonard, O'Neal is really beyond the standard!
"O'Neal is now the best center in the NBA who can defend smaller players!"

Seth Curry on the sidelines was thinking secretly in his heart.

The best players who can play small against bigger players and play big centers are myself, my brother, and Rose.

In the NBA, there are players who are good at playing against bigger players, and naturally there are also players who are good at playing against smaller players, such as Yao Ming.

Whether it is a small team playing against a big team or a big team playing against a small team, there are advantages on the offensive end.

But on the defensive end, when a small team plays against a bigger team, being smaller is an absolute disadvantage, and similarly when a big team plays against a smaller team, it is also an absolute disadvantage.

This is very interesting.

Therefore, in the NBA, most teams try to avoid using a small player to defend a big player or a big player to defend a small player when defending.

Even if Yao Ming, Oden, Embiid, and Jokic defend smaller players on the perimeter, it is still very dangerous.

But O'Neal just now, defending Leonard's outside singles, was really great!
Leonard couldn't beat O'Neal with his absolute athletic ability, couldn't shake off O'Neal with his rhythm, and couldn't pull up against O'Neal with his fadeaway shot. In the end, he couldn't even see the basket.

"At this moment, it can be seen that the Jordan version of Kawhi Leonard is not the real Jordan. If it were the real Jordan, he would have surpassed O'Neal by one step and would not have played one-on-one like Leonard just now!!!"

Leonard failed in the singles, and then O'Neal turned around, stared at Leonard, and dunked on Leonard's head again!
The Celtics' one big and four small lineup on the court was too easy for O'Neal to play against.

Even if it was a big guy like Davis, as long as he wasn't double-teamed, O'Neal could play freely.

The reason why Du Kang didn't let O'Neal play against Davis was because he was afraid that O'Neal would be double-teamed.

O'Neal played against Leonard, and Davis came over to double-team him. Although Davis had strong speed and athleticism, he might not be able to get back.

O'Neal played against Davis. Even if Leonard was not as fast as Davis, he was still faster than Davis. More importantly, he was smaller, had a lower center of gravity and turned quickly. This is why the league generally uses small players to double-team. When they double-team back, what they are actually competing for is the shuttle run.

When playing against Leonard, and asking Davis to run back and forth, Davis will probably be exhausted after a few tries.

Before Leonard was beaten half to death by O'Neal, Davis probably wouldn't dare to double-team him.

If Davis doesn't come, should George come instead?
Haha, given the height of George and Leonard, O'Neal can still perform a lot of operations even if he is double-teamed.

Therefore, the Celtics fans at the scene were stunned to see that Coach D was actually using O'Neal to control Leonard.

"It's so vicious, Coach D is so vicious!!!"

Compared with the Celtics fans, the Bobcats fans at the scene were happier.

"Leonard just resisted! Hahahaha! Leonard actually dared to resist, Shaq, beat him hard!!!"

"The great Charlotte Bobcats and the great Coach D will show you who your daddy really is!"

O'Neal's active efforts to harass Leonard on both offense and defense were already vicious in the eyes of Celtics fans.

That's because they don't see the true viciousness!
The French sports car took off on the offensive end!

Parker took the initiative to single out Davis!
Accelerate, stop suddenly, accelerate, turn, accelerate again, stop suddenly!

Do you know why Parker was so powerful in his breakthrough at his peak?
Is it because of his sheer speed?
Actually, it’s not, it’s the rhythm of his instant acceleration and sudden stop!
This style of play is very physically demanding. As he gets older, Parker doesn't dare to play like this at all.

but now!

Under Parker's deliberate move, Davis kept falling down, standing up again and again, and then was dazzled by Parker again and finally fell down.

"Oh my god! The Celtics' strongest point is one-on-one defense, one-on-one man-to-man defense and one-on-one singles. Coach D actually found a father for every Celtics player to dismember them!!!"

“No, there is still one person who hasn’t met his father yet, and that’s Paul George!!!”

"Wait, Paul George hasn't scored in this game yet? No, he didn't even take a shot. He has been completely covered by China Ding!!!"

"Incredible Bobcats, incredible Coach D. Without Jordan and Beasley, Coach D actually led the Bobcats to beat the Celtics!!!"

At this moment.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Including the amazing Monty who shouted at the beginning of the game that Coach D was fine and not to panic.

Who could have imagined that this game would unfold like this?

The Celtics came here to be Jordan's father!

Unexpectedly, in the end, they all acted like fools for a while!
At this moment, the entire arena seemed to be filled with only the madness and pride of the Bobcats fans.

"Who's your daddy!"

"Who's your daddy!"

"Who's your daddy!"

……

"It's over. The Celtics are over in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals!!!"

The Celtics didn't just collapse in Game 1.

Even in Game 2, the Celtics collapsed.

This was a very desperate thing for the Celtics players. They came to Charlotte this time to go home with a big lead of 2-0.

But now, we are already behind 0-2!
The key is that Jordan has not yet played, and they are not prepared to play the Bobcats without Jordan.

Plus, who the hell would have thought that O'Neal, Duncan, Parker, Ding Yanyuhang and Rose would be so strong?

It was said that Jordan was the leader of the Bobcats and Beasley was the second?

And just when Amazing Monty and the Celtics players lost the second Eastern Conference Finals in Charlotte with very ugly faces.

Just as they were preparing to go back to the locker room.

Coach D, who was being interviewed by media reporters on the scene, made a decision that shocked everyone.

Even a fool can see that the Bobcats have actually got the Celtics in their hands. No, Coach D has actually got the Celtics in his hands.

As long as they keep playing like this, the Bobcats will have no problem sweeping the Celtics, at least defeating them easily.

but! !! !!

"Yes, Jordan and Beasley, will be back in Boston."

Buzz!
Everyone was dumbfounded.

The desperate Celtics players all saw hope. Coach D was going to cause trouble again and run to the river again!!!
Almost at the same time, Barkley, who was interviewing Coach D, felt a different atmosphere.

Based on his understanding of Coach D, Barkley quickly thought of another possibility.

Yes, Coach D was causing trouble, but it was definitely not what most people thought, that is, taking risks by walking to the river.

Anyone who knows Coach D knows that he is actually a very cautious person.

Therefore, it seemed to outsiders that he was walking by the river but his shoes never got wet.

You thought Coach D was taking a risk.

In fact, Coach D is confident!

and so!
"Coach D, you are going to make Michael Jordan the dad of all the Celtics starters in Boston!!!"
