I really just want to strike

Because under Auerbach's reminder, Karl soon discovered an unacceptable fact.

That is:

When the Raptors formed singles, the Celtics simply could not effectively limit the Raptors.

"Miller, if you want to surpass John in the future...

From now on, you have to seriously study every tactical arrangement of John, and spend twice as much time thinking about why he did it. "Patting Miller on the shoulder, Auerbach said to him.

Think about what John would do?

On the sidelines, after taking a deep breath, Miller Carr began to take out his small notebook and carefully studied every tactical detail of the Raptors on the court.

On the other side, on the Raptors' bench, Davis, who felt that he had no role in this game, felt a little sleepy...

……

In the end, relying on McGrady's excellent performance and the continuous output of the second team, the Raptors made another victory and rewritten the big score of this round of Eastern Conference Finals to 2-0.

In this game, the score of the game was 99 to 113.

McGrady scored the Raptors' highest 27 points, while Su Feng and Joe boss scored 48 points, 19 rebounds and 9 assists.

For the Celtics, Duncan is still in excellent form. In the game, Deng, who has stabilized the situation for the Celtics many times, scored a game-high 29 points, plus 17 rebounds, 3 blocks, 4 assists and 2 steals.

However, even if Duncan unilaterally blows up Big Ben, the Celtics can't change the fact that they can't fight the Raptors on the outside.

But fortunately, in Boston, the "renovation" work of the North Shore Garden Arena has been completed.

For the seasoned Auerbach, like his disciple Byrd, he is also the kind of person who will not give up lightly before everything is finalized.

On the way back to Boston, Carl, who was thinking about "what would John do", got more and more details about the two games when replaying the first two games between the two teams.

In this life, Millerkar, whose destiny trajectory has also been rewritten, has been living in Auerbach's infancy, but looking at his aging mentor and wanting to share the pressure for his mentor, he happens to be the kind of person who is willing to learn, and A coach who is willing to change.

As far as the coaching position is concerned, coaches like Miller who are willing to learn and change will generally not do too badly.

According to the schedule, the G3 battle between the two teams will start on the 3rd.

The shortened season not only means that the schedule of the regular season has been compressed, but even the schedule of the playoffs is shorter than in previous years.

In Su Feng's previous life, many naive fans thought that as long as a team's lineup was strong enough, physical fitness shouldn't be an excuse for these teams.

But in fact, in the regular season, even the Raptors cannot escape the sanction from physical fitness.

Because back-to-back back-to-back like that kind of devil affects more than just the main players?

You know, a long journey is sometimes even more tiring than playing a game.

Because like this kind of three-day three-game battle, many substitute players can't even sleep well when they need to fly thousands of kilometers. How can they guarantee 100% investment during the game?

After reaching the playoffs, to be on the safe side, increasing the playing time of the main players is a consensus that many teams will reach.

Take the battle of riding bravely in Su Feng's memory as an example.

Every time it comes to the playoffs, both Qiyong and Yong are in their respective halfs, eager to beat other opponents as soon as possible.

Because for a team that is aiming for a championship, if your physical fitness cannot be guaranteed to be on the healthy line, then your road to the championship will never be smooth.

And on the 2nd, after the Lakers rewritten the big score of the Western Conference Finals in Portland to 3-0, now, the pressure has come to the Raptors.

Su Feng knew very well that five games was his bottom line for this round of Eastern Conference Finals.

Because if the Raptors can't solve the big trouble of the Celtics as soon as possible, then in the finals, the Lakers will become the side with more physical strength.

only......

On the 3rd, when the Raptors players walked into the North Shore Garden Arena to warm up, although they couldn't tell what was different about this arena from the past, everyone always felt that this arena was weird.

For example, during shooting training, Daben found that the trajectory of the basketball bounced out of the hoop was completely different from when he usually played.

When running tactics, the Raptors players who wanted to practice fast baseline shots also found that the Celtics' Nets at home were not so tight...

While waiting for the basketball to fall from the net, some impatient players even wanted to go up and tear up the net.

In addition, when dribbling forward, many players have found that after the basketball is hit on the floor, it often cannot rebound.

As for the above, Su Feng and Davis are no strangers to the master-student pair.

Because back then, when they were playing bulls, they learned...

Isn't that the Celtics?

As the so-called basketball game is composed of countless details.

And here, every detail may affect the final process of the game.

Twisting the hoop can make the basketball bounce closer to your side after hitting the hoop.

And in this way, the Celtics, who are more dominant in height, are likely to grab a few more rebounds.

Stepping up the Nets can delay the basketball for a few tenths of a second when it is swipe the net.

In this way, the Celtics can complete the retreat more calmly.

As for adding "floor of honor" to the Celtics' home court...

That is to prevent a singles team like the Raptors from being able to play as much as they want.

What is home field advantage?

This is home field advantage.

During the warm-up, Su Feng, who found that almost half of the Celtics' home floor was covered with traps, knew very well...

If there is a little carelessness in the next game...

It's not out of the question that the Raptors were dragged to Game [-] by this Celtics team.

And as an elderly AC Milan fan, in this world, there is no one who hates things like being overturned more than Su Feng.

So, under Su Feng's suggestion, Davis found that his talent and learning finally got another chance to prove himself.

Before the start of this G3 game, looking at the group of players who kept complaining about the Celtics at home, Davis put his hands in his arms, and with a smile on his face, he issued a so-and-so, so-and-so to all the Raptors. instruction......

……

Chapter 3 When the formation is broken, the strongest brain

On the evening of the 3rd, the North Shore Garden Arena.

The Celtics, who were pushed to the edge of a cliff by the Raptors, will fight tonight.

In the NBA, even counting the future, no team has ever made a comeback from a 0-3 deficit.

Therefore, before the start of this game, even without Auerbach's reminder, the Celtics players knew that losing the G3 game was tantamount to losing the entire series.

Unlike the previous two games, Davis took the initiative to adjust the Raptors' starting lineup tonight.

Nash returned to the starting lineup, while McGrady returned to the bench.

Before the game, on the bench of the Celtics, when he noticed that the Raptors had changed their starting lineup, this time, even if Miller Carr wanted to break his head, for a while...

He also didn't want to understand why Davis made such an arrangement.

Think about what John would do?

But no matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out. How can I break it?

On the court, after the players of the two teams finished warming up, in the center of the field, Duncan and Big Ben started the game with a jump ball.

In the first two battles, Ben, who had been beaten bald by Duncan forcibly, could not give full play to his advantage in deterrence when facing the giant Duncan.

Duncan calmly jumped off the first down for the Celtics.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Marbury dribbled the ball "steadily" across the half.

Because the Celtics' home floor was replaced in a hurry this time, even the Celtics' own players couldn't do it, and fully memorized the buried positions of those "honor floors".

Therefore, rather than saying that Marbury's dribbling is very stable, it is better to say that he is afraid of being pitted by his own floor.

In order to defeat the Raptors, Auerbach racked his brains in this round of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Under the helpless situation, "Cardinal" even used the big move of Qishang Quan.

However, although the Celtics players cannot guarantee that they will not be pitted by their own floor, compared to the Raptors who rely more on the outside to play...

The Celtics with Duncan can indeed eliminate this environmental impact to a certain extent by holding high and playing high.

Before the match, Su Feng had already discovered during warm-up......

The location of the Celtic mines is very tricky.

Because the penalty areas on both sides of the court happen to be areas without "landmines".

The Celtics played the first attack, and after Marbury passed the ball to Bowen on the wing, the latter directly hoisted the ball into the interior.

And with Duncan's unpretentious combined punches, just like the previous two battles, Big Ben still has no temper for the young Duncan's attack.

0:2.

Because the Nets were tightened tonight, the Raptors couldn't send the baseline quickly after Duncan scored the ball.

At this time, Karl was even more puzzled, why Davis would use Nash in the starting lineup.

Because in Carl's opinion...

If he can't play a fast break, Nash's role on the court is impossible to be as great as McGrady.

Soon, however, Karl will know why Davis did what he did.

The Raptors made the first attack, and Su Feng, who failed to get the ball in the low post immediately, used Da Ben's cover to run back from the bottom line to the high post.

His running position successfully messed up the Celtics' defensive position.

And at the moment when Marbury's attention was also attracted by Su Feng, Nash, who had been shooting the ball in place in the "safe area", suddenly pulled the onion from the dry land and completed a quick shot.

Swish-!

3:2.

Unlike in the past, when he needed to take on the team's organizational responsibilities, tonight, Nash, who started the game, only got one order.

That is, whenever and wherever.

As long as Nash thinks he can shoot, he can fire at will.

Because the Celtics have many minefields on the home floor, players who are good at breakthroughs and need to rely on one-handed dribbling to complete the offense will suffer very much.

Therefore, under Su Feng's hint, Davis quickly found the correct way to deal with it.

That is, in the case of reducing singles, increase the movement of players without the ball.

In addition, players with the ball adopt a more simple and rude way to complete the offense in the game.

In this way, the impact of the Celtics' "floor of honor" on the Raptors will be very limited.

Of course, as the godfather of a generation of basketball, Davis's arrangement is more than that.

On the court, after the Celtics also scored on the second offense, it was the Raptors' turn to attack.

But this time, when Carter used the cover to grab a mobile phone opportunity from the flank, this UFO, like Nash just now, also decisively and quickly fired from the outside.

when--!

And at the moment Carter shot, Big Ben, Jordan, and Su Feng had already inserted into the Celtics' penalty area.

Loosening the basket will indeed, to a certain extent, lead to a change in the trajectory of the rebound, but...

Still that question.

In a short period of time, even the Celtics' own players cannot fully grasp this change in trajectory.

Therefore, the second arrangement of Davis tonight is to make the Raptors players with three-point shooting ability take the three-pointer as the team's first offensive option.

Under normal circumstances, in order to prevent being counterattacked by the opponent, in previous games, although the Raptors would make some unreasonable three-point shots by someone, in most cases, their three-point shots were not as exaggerated as in the future .

But tonight was different.

Even if the Raptors shoot unscientific three-pointers tonight, they don't have to worry about being directly counterattacked by their opponents.

Because in the case of a shot, the Raptors can't quickly serve the baseline ball tonight, and the Celtics can't quickly serve the baseline ball either.

Coupled with floor restrictions, it is impossible for the Celtics to force a fast break tonight.

As for not making it?

What does that matter?
