Chapter 550 Change

"The Warriors have finally met their nemesis. Their offense has been really tested. In the West, the Warriors have been resisted, but no team has ever brought them as much pressure on the defensive end as the Celtics. Including the Lakers.

In the first three games, the number of fast breaks launched by the Warriors can be counted on the fingers, but because of the blind pursuit of fast breaks, many mistakes have been made. If the Warriors continue to play like this, the next game will be even more difficult for them... ..."

After breakfast, Yang Shuai held such a newspaper, and kept thinking about the tactics arranged by Old Nelson.Indeed, after coming to the finals, the fast offense and defense that the Warriors rely on in the regular season has indeed become more and more difficult to display. In addition to seizing every opportunity to play offensive and defensive transitions, the Warriors must also solve the problem of team battles.

In the past games, once it fell into a positional battle, the Warriors used two methods most often. One is to rely on Yang Shuai's offensive ability to score directly.Yang Shuai has always done a good job at this point, because of his outstanding outside shooting ability, even if the opponent takes more double-teams, Yang Shuai can still put the ball into the basket, especially after his various shooting skills have improved.

The other is to rely on Yang Shuai's breakthrough ability.After the speed, agility, and dribbling have reached the super level one after another, almost no one in the league can prevent Yang Shuai's breakthrough in a one-on-one situation. The breakthrough not only brings Yang Shuai points, but also attracts opponents to double-team his teammates. Create opportunities.Coupled with the outside shooting ability of the Warriors' players, it always gives opponents a headache.As for the Hinrich and Evans pick-and-roll is just auxiliary.

The Celtics obviously figured out this style of play. On the one hand, they retreated in time to prevent the Warriors from launching a fast break, and on the other hand, they arranged defenses against the Warriors' half-court offense.

When Yang Shuai was shooting with the ball from the outside, the Celtics applied pressure to reduce Yang Shuai's shooting rate. At this time, they were strictly guarding against other players and did not give them a chance.

And when Yang Shuai tries to break through, double-teaming is inevitable. While defending the inside line, once Yang Shuai sends the ball to the outside line.The Celtics used their good defensive rotations to put pressure on the Warriors' perimeter players.

It doesn't seem to be difficult to say. Whether it is the Spurs, Mavericks or Lakers, they have tried to do this before, but they have not succeeded. This is why Yang Shuai has quite good scores and assists in the previous games.

But the Celtics did it. Whether it is the speed of retreat or the speed of rotation defense, these teams cannot be compared. With Garnett and others entering the team and Rivers' defense, the defense This concept has penetrated into the bone marrow of every player of the Celtics.

This is what the Celtics do in normal training and normal games, so they can do so well in the finals against the Warriors.Even so, in the second game, the Celtics gave the Warriors a chance by inadvertently failing to do well.

The Celtics' defense is already there, and Nelson must have brought some changes to the Warriors' offense.However, what Old Nelson is most afraid of is change.

…………

The fourth game of the finals is about to be staged. The outside world continues to pay attention to the finals, and the players of the two teams are focusing on the game.

In the locker room of the visiting team, the Warriors players are still chatting, seemingly relaxed, but the smiles on their faces are obviously less than before. All this is obviously related to the current situation of the team.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors also fell behind the Lakers 1:2, but that was because of Yang Shuai. When they realized that Yang Shuai returned to normal, they would feel relaxed.But now, with Yang Shuai playing normally, the team is still behind, which also makes them really feel the difficulty of the finals.

"Guys, it's almost time..." After Old Nelson stood up first, a group of Warriors players also quickly stood up from their seats.

"Imperial TV, Imperial TV, audience friends, welcome to watch the fourth game of the 09-10 NBA Finals, the Warriors challenge the Celtics away..."

In front of the screen, Chinese fans waited nervously for the start of the game. Yang Shuai’s identity meant that this year’s finals in China will be far more popular than in previous years, and the current situation of the Warriors falling behind does make them a little bit worried. .

"Hey, the Warriors adjusted their starting lineup..." When the starting lineups of the two teams were shown on the big screen, the commentator of the imperial court, who was still talking about tactics, immediately gasped in surprise.

The Warriors did adjust the starting lineup, with Jamison replacing Wallace in the starting lineup.In the Western Conference Finals, Jamison's performance had some problems, and Nelson used the more stable Wallace as the starting power forward.As the game progressed, Jamison's state was gradually recovering. After some problems occurred in the team's offense, Nelson once again referred Jamison to the starting lineup.Purely in terms of offense, Jamison is indeed better than the current Wallace.

After the appearance ceremony, the starting players of both sides appeared in the center of the field. Doug Rivers glanced at Jamison and then involuntarily glanced at the old Nelson who was sitting on the Warriors bench.

"This is the change you made?" Doug Rivers frowned slightly, and admitted that Jamison's offense might be better than Wallace's. The offense has fundamentally changed. After all, you can't expect Jamison to get 30+ steadily now.

Old Nelson didn't seem to notice Doug Rivers' gaze, and his eyes were fixed on the field, appearing extremely engrossed.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blew the start of the game, and the Oracle Arena was instantly filled with huge cheers, and the Celtics took the lead in attacking.

The Celtics' offense was unexpectedly handed over to Perkins on the inside, but Perkins did not live up to the expectations of the fans, hitting the ball with a small hook against Chandler on the inside.

Perkins' offense did not attract too much attention from Rivers. His eyes closely followed Hinrich, to be precise, he moved with the ball and observed the Warriors' offense.

Hinrich dribbled the ball to the front court, and then quickly handed it to Yang Shuai.At this time, Jamison, who was running towards the basket, suddenly pulled beyond the three-point line to pick and roll for Yang Shuai.

Breaking through, after Jamison blocked Pierce, Yang Shuai quickly rushed towards the side.Garnett walked around from Jamison's side, but did not stick to Yang Shuai in time. Yang Shuai exploded faster than he expected at this moment.

Garnett followed Yang Shuai and rushed to the inside, and Pierce, who was about to change positions to defend Jamison, also quickly caught up.

As if he had eyes on his back, when Pierce took a step away from Jamison, Yang Shuai threw the ball back quickly and landed in Jamison's hands.

Catch the ball outside the three-point line and shoot!Pierce reacted very quickly and quickly returned to defense, but Jamison still chose to shoot.

"Shua!" Pierce's defense did not affect Jamison's shooting, and he made a steady three-pointer.

"Huh?" Seeing this, Rivers was even more puzzled. The Warriors' attack this time was not too brilliant. Even Rasheed Wallace had such a cooperation before, and Jamison's hit this time It just proves that he is in good condition.

The Celtics' offense will be in the hands of Ray Allen. After running non-stop, Ray Allen receives a pass from Rondo and makes a one-step shot from inside the three-point line, but misses.After Chandler picked up the basketball, Yang Shuai rushed to the basket and took the ball off.

The Celtics' defense was very timely. When Yang Shuai rushed into the half court, their defense line was almost set up, and Pierce opened his hands to block Yang Shuai's front to guard against Yang Shuai's breakthrough.

Yang Shuai did not choose to break through by himself, but handed the ball to Evans.However, Rivers still didn't understand the Warriors' offense this time. Evans broke through and was double-teamed and walked illegally.

"Evans' performance after entering the finals was not good enough. He didn't play very well in the first three games. In fact, Yang Shuai can choose to break through by himself..."

While the imperial court was talking, the Celtics had completed the offense again, and Rondo broke through and rushed into the inside for a backhand layup.

The Warriors attacked again, and Hinrich dribbled the ball to the half court and did not pass the ball to Yang Shuai, but passed it to Evans just like Yang Shuai in the previous round.

After receiving the ball, Evans made a fake move towards the left and then quickly rushed to the right. Ray Allen moved his feet to defend but was avoided by Evans.

"Pow!" Ray Allen leaned forward again, but Evans pushed him away. At this time, Ray Allen could no longer stop Evans from rushing forward.

Evans rushed two steps into the three-point line, and was about to approach the three-second zone when a figure stopped in front of him, Garnett.

Double-teaming, the Celtics reject all players who try to attack their defense, whether it is Yang Shuai or Evans.In terms of defense against breakthroughs, the Celtics are indeed among the best in the league.

As soon as Garnett blocked, Ray Allen followed closely, Evans fell into a double-team, and the ball in Evans' hands flew out and fell to the right.

"Are you going to make a mistake again?" Seeing the ball from Evans, most people on the scene had this thought. It seemed that there was no one in the direction of the ball. That.

"Whoosh!" Just as the ball flew out of the three-point line, a figure suddenly appeared and intercepted the ball. The vaguely familiar figure told the identity of the Celtics fan behind him.

"Yang Shuai! Yang Shuai received a pass from Evans and made a direct shot from outside the three-point line...the ball went in! Beautiful!"

"Shua!" The standard shooting posture deduces an elegant temperament, and the perfect arc brings a crisp and pleasant voice. The one who completes this section is naturally Yang Shuai!

"Huh? Is that so?" Rivers leaned forward, and then looked at Yang Shuai. He seemed to understand the changes in the Warriors.
