Chapter 40 Eliminate the Celts!
The problems exposed by the Celtics in the First World War were actually not resolved in the Second World War, although they worked very hard.
The situation only improved in the third game. It is worrying that although the Celtics won in the third game, it depends on their own efforts and how many of them are won by their home advantage.
In this game, Pierce and Stanley won 26 free throws in total, and they scored 20 points with free throws alone. Yao Ming only played less than two quarters because he had too many fouls too early, so he had very few opportunities to play in the future.
After Yao Ming came out, Chandler followed his footsteps and made too many fouls and could only defend carefully, which became the target of the Celtic attack.
In this case, the Celtics gained a great advantage on the offensive end.
Back on the defensive end, the Celtics' defensive moves are very big, but the Knicks rarely get free throws or even fouls.
Cole broke two tactical boards on the sidelines. In the fourth quarter, he was even sent off the court, and the Knicks were in a fight alone.
The Celtics tied the big score to 2:1.
The fourth battle is a very critical battle, and this battle determines the fate of both sides.
If the Knicks win the game, they will basically be determined to advance. After all, if they lead three to one, there is a high chance of winning the series.
For the Celtics, if they lose this game, they almost stepped onto the cliff. It would be too difficult for the team to reverse the game with a big score of 3:1, and the situation would be devastated to a desperate level if the Celtics had no home advantage.
Therefore, this game is very important to everyone.
On May 8, the fourth battle between the Celtics and the Knicks began.
After three games, both sides were very familiar with each other. They did not test it as soon as they started, and they directly opened their firepower.
With the experience of the previous game, Yao Ming and Chandler's defense became cautious and tried to keep it clean as much as possible on the defensive end. This is the method discussed by the Knicks. Since there is no way to ban it, let's start with changing yourself.
The Knicks' efforts are effective. They try to be cautious on the defensive end, which reduces the free throw opportunities the Celtics get to a certain extent. On the other hand, the Knicks play directly and you hit you. I hit my routine. After all, it is to fight for offense.
The Celtics rely on whistles to gain an advantage are not enough to make up for their offensive weakness. In fact, it is more because of the offensive collapse caused by too many defensive fouls.
When the Knicks were following the right path, the Celtics had no advantage.
In the third game, Pierce saw 32 points and Sir scored 26 points, but in the next game, Pierce only scored 15 points and Sir only scored 18 points. The two's scores plummeted. The reason is not only because of the reduction in the number of free throws, but more importantly, Yao Ming and Chandler were able to maintain enough playing time after reducing the number of fouls. Yao Ming and Chandler took turns to guard the basket, which was a natural barrier for the Celtics.
The Celtics were beaten 3:1 by the Knicks, and the situation became very bad next, and this situation gradually turned into the worst result. In the fifth game, the Knicks who returned to home made the Celtics understand that there was a gap in their strength compared to the Knicks, and this gap could not be explained by so-called talent.
After a few games, the Celtics seemed to have stronger personal abilities, but their ability was not able to be exchanged for combat effectiveness. Especially when entering the tug-of-war, what the Celtics lacked was not the whole, but the ability of the super giant in the final carry.
The Knicks seem to have low talent, but everyone can perform their own duties. In the Knicks system, even a functional and single player like Tony Allen still becomes the source of pain for the Celtics.
The Knicks killed the Celtics 4:1, which was very straightforward and neat. The Celtics had no power to fight back at all. If the win game was the Celtics' fight back, it would be a bit reluctant, because everyone who has watched the game knows how dark the referee's whistle was in that game.
It is precisely because of this that people began to study the Knicks' team building model.
When superstars in the league are grouping together and the team is bringing in two or three superstars, only the Knicks devoted themselves to building the team with Zhou Mubai, matching players who are suitable for him, role players, some second-in-commands, or some marginal people.
It's probably - it doesn't matter how you used to be, but when you arrive at the Knicks, you will have a place.
Korver, Tony Allen and others have achieved the best performance in the Knicks, and their data have reached a new high in their careers, which shows that the Knicks' system is suitable for everyone, and everyone can find their own position here.
People should make full use of their talents, perform their duties, and try their best to give full play to their advantages. This should be the inspiration from this Knicks.
However, people quickly found the crux of the problem. The Knicks' tactics ensured their output in regular time, but Zhou Mubai decided the winner.
The Knicks used a very team approach to support the least team approach.
When the game was at its most difficult time, most of the tactics used by the Knicks were to give the ball to Zhou Mubai.
This move is very disgusting.
At the critical moment, the Knicks used the trick of the shooter group to match Zhou Mubai. Anyway, you used a thousand moves, and I only went all the way, and Zhou Mubai defeated the Celtics' defenses with one single move.
Then everyone studied it to the end and found that there was only one Knicks who could use this method, oh, no, there was also a Mavericks in the West.
The Mavericks have already entered the second round. In the first round, the Mavericks defeated the Trail Blazers 4:2, which is nothing, but in the second round, the Mavericks swept the Thunder 4:0, which surprised everyone.
When connecting the Knicks and the Mavericks, everyone found that they were all teams built with a superstar as the core, and their role players ensured their output at regular time, while single-core superstars were responsible for taking over at critical moments.
So everyone has discovered that to make a single-core team a super team, this superstar requires that he needs super abilities - the ability to ignore defense.
Nowitzki and Zhou Mubai are both people with this ability, but other super giants may not be able to do so.
