Chapter 553 Change

"The Warriors finally met their nemesis, and their offense was truly tested. In the West, the Warriors were resisted, but no team has ever put as much pressure on them on the defensive end as the Celtics.

Including the Lakers.

In the first three games, the Warriors launched only a handful of fast breaks. Instead, their blind pursuit of fast breaks led to many mistakes. If the Warriors continue this style of play, the next games will be even more difficult for them...

…”

After breakfast, Yang Shuai held such a newspaper and kept thinking about the tactics arranged by Nelson. Indeed, after coming to the finals, the fast offense and defense that the Warriors relied on in the regular season have indeed improved.

It is becoming more and more difficult to perform. In addition to seizing every opportunity to switch offense and defense, the Warriors must also solve the problem of formation battle.

In the past games, once it fell into a positional battle, the Warriors used two most common methods. One was to rely on Yang Shuai's offensive ability to score directly. Yang Shuai has always been good at this, because of his outstanding outside shooting ability, even if the opponent is

With more double-teaming, Yang Shuai can still put the ball into the basket, especially after his shooting skills have improved.

The other is to rely on Yang Shuai's breakthrough ability. After his speed, agility, and dribbling have reached special levels, almost no one in the league can prevent Yang Shuai's breakthrough in a one-on-one situation. Breakthroughs bring Yang Shuai points.

At the same time, it also attracts opponents to double-team and creates opportunities for teammates. Coupled with the outside shooting ability of the Warriors players, it always gives opponents a headache. As for Hinrich and Evans, the pick-and-roll is only an assist.

The Celtics clearly understood this style of play. On the one hand, they retreated in time to prevent the Warriors from launching a fast break. On the other hand, they deployed defense against the Warriors' half-court offense.

When Yang Shuai was holding the ball from the outside and shooting, the Celtics applied pressure to reduce Yang Shuai's shooting percentage. At this time, other players were on guard and did not give any chance.

When Yang Shuai tries to break through, double-teaming is inevitable. While guarding the inside, once Yang Shuai passes the ball to the outside, the Celtics players use their good defensive rotations to put pressure on the Warriors' outside offensive players.

.

It doesn't seem difficult to say. The Spurs, Mavericks and Lakers have all tried to do this, but none of them succeeded. This is why Yang Shuai was quite good in both scoring and assists in the previous games.

The Celtics did it. Both the speed of retreating and the speed of defensive rotation are incomparable to these teams. With Garnett and others entering the team and Rivers paying close attention to defense, the defense

This concept has penetrated into the bones of every Celtics player.

This is what the Celtics do in normal training and normal games, which is why they were able to do so well against the Warriors in the Finals. Even so, in the second game, the Celtics inadvertently failed to do so.

This gives the Warriors a chance.

The Celtics' defense is already there, and Nelson must bring some changes to the Warriors' offense. However, what Nelson is not afraid of most is change.

…………

The fourth game of the finals is about to take place. The outside world continues to pay attention to the finals, and the players of both teams are focused on the game.

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

In the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors also trailed the Lakers 1:2, but that was because of Yang Shuai. When they realized that Yang Shuai was back to normal, they would feel relaxed. Now, with Yang Shuai performing normally, the team

Still lagging behind, this also made them feel the difficulty of the finals.

"Guys, it's almost time..." After Nelson stood up first, all the Warriors players also quickly stood up from their seats.

"Chaoting Channel, Chaoting Channel, audience friends, welcome everyone to watch the fourth game of the 2009-10 NBA Finals, the Warriors challenge the Celtics away from home..."

In front of the screen, Chinese fans were slightly nervous waiting for the start of the game. Yang Shuai's identity is destined to attract more attention in China this year's finals than in previous years, and the Warriors' current lagging situation does make them a little worried.

.

"Hey, the Warriors have adjusted their starting lineup..." When the two teams' starting lineups were shown on the big screen, the commentator on the court stage who was still talking about tactics immediately started to gasp in surprise.

The Warriors did adjust their starting lineup. Jamison replaced 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,

Progress, Jamison's condition is gradually recovering. After some problems occurred in the team's offense, Nelson once again mentioned Jamison to the starting lineup. From a purely offensive perspective, Jamison is indeed more outstanding than the current Wallace.

se.

After the appearance ceremony, the starting players of both teams appeared in the center of the court. Doc Rivers glanced at Jamison and then involuntarily glanced at Nelson, who was sitting on the Warriors bench.

"Is this the change you made?" Doc Rivers raised his eyebrows slightly, and admitted that Jamison's offense may really be better than Wallace, but even if Jamison plays very well, it seems that he can't defeat the Warriors.

The offense has fundamentally changed. After all, you can't expect Jamison to get 30+ stably now.

Nelson didn't seem to notice Doc Rivers' gaze. His eyes were fixed on the court, looking extremely absorbed.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded to start the game. 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 in the paint, but Perkins did not disappoint the fans' expectations. He hit the ball with Chandler's little hook in the paint.

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

Hinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and quickly handed it to Yang Shuai. At this time, Jamison, who was running towards the basket, suddenly pulled outside the three-point line to screen for Yang Shuai.

Breakthrough, after Jamison fended off Pierce, Yang Shuai quickly rushed to the side. Garnett got around Jamison, but did not stick to Yang Shuai in time. Yang Shuai exploded at this moment.

The speed exceeded his expectation.

Garnett followed Yang Shuai and rushed to the inside, and Pierce, who was originally preparing to switch positions to defend Jamison, quickly caught up.

As if there were eyes behind his back, when Pierce took a step away from Jamison, Yang Shuai's ball quickly swung backwards and fell into Jamison's hands.

Received the ball from outside the three-point line and took a shot! Pierce reacted very quickly and quickly returned to defense, but Jamison still chose to take the shot.

"Whoa!" Pierce's defense did not affect Jamison's shooting, and he hit the three-pointer steadily.

"Huh?" Seeing this, Rivers was even more confused. The Warriors' offense was not very outstanding. Even Rasheed Wallace had cooperated like this before, and Jamison's hit this time

It just proves that he is in good condition.

The Celtics' offense was in the hands of Ray Allen. Ray Allen kept running and then received a pass from Rondo. He shot one step inside the three-point line and missed. Chandler lit up the basketball.

Later, Yang Shuai rushed to the basket and picked off the ball.

The Celtics retreated in a very timely manner. When Yang Shuai rushed into the half court, their defense line was almost ready, and Pierce stood in front of Yang Shuai with open hands to prevent 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' attack this time. Evans broke through and was double-teamed before violating the walking rule.

"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 on his own..."

While the court was talking, the Celtics had completed their attack again, and Rondo broke through and rushed into the paint for a backhand layup.

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

After receiving the ball, Evans made a fake move to break to the left and quickly rushed to the right. Ray Allen moved his steps to defend, but Evans avoided it.

"Porphyry!" Ray Allen stepped forward again, but Evans pushed away. At this time, Ray Allen could no longer stop Evans from advancing.

Evans took 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 preventing breakthroughs, the Celtics are indeed one of the best in the league.

As soon as Garnett blocked it, Ray Allen followed closely. Evans was caught in a double-team. The ball flew out of Evans' hand and fell to the right.

"Another mistake?" Seeing Evans' ball, most people at the scene had this thought. There seemed to be no one in the direction of the ball. No, there was still someone. The referee was standing there.

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 Celtics fans behind him the identity of the person coming.

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

"Shua!" The standard shooting posture shows an elegant temperament, and the perfect arc brings a crisp and sweet sound. The person 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.
