Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

As a veteran team, the Celtics have a very strong team culture. Their style of play is hard, tough, unpretentious, and they emphasize strong team spirit. Even with the Big Three, they were able to defeat the team with a gorgeous style of play last year.

The Lakers rely on more than just the strength of one person.

This also means they are extremely difficult to defeat.

This season, they have been behind by 10 or even 15 points at halftime many times, relying on their sincere unity in the second half to complete comebacks, and despite losing Garnett, the core of offense and defense, they were still able to finish third in the Eastern Conference.

Playoffs.

And tonight, all the viewers who followed this game were lucky enough to see the Celtics' ability to adjust.

During the halftime break, Rivers and several of their important players gathered together to figure out why they lost by 20 points in the first half. After analysis by Pierce and especially the on-court coach Rondo, it was obvious that they lost so much because they underestimated the left winger.

Standalone attacking desire and feel.

"We can't blindly attack, but we can't not attack either. Kevin has no way to play. Our lack of protection inside makes it too easy for Zuo Li to find a suitable attacking distance." Rondo said.

Rondo is worthy of being called a coach on the court, and his evaluation is spot on.

This is how Zuo Li played in the first half.

Although he mainly attacks, he is not blind. He looks very strong, but he is not playing blindly. Instead, he deliberately looks for the Celtics' interior spaces and uses pick-and-rolls to kill the Celtics' interiors many times. Without Garnett,

Zuo Li's speed advantage and physical strength were fully utilized.

Although Zuoli's three-pointers boost morale, if you analyze the 41 points in the first half, you will find that most of the points are scored in the penalty area, and they are basically layups or dunks after pick-and-roll breakthroughs!

This is the secret of Zuo Li's high efficiency and incomprehensibility.

Everyone nodded in agreement. This is the biggest problem the Celtics are currently facing. After Kevin was reimbursed this season, they lost to the Magic and the Knicks. Against the Suns, veteran O'Fat also created a huge challenge for them inside.

It was difficult, and in the end we won with Ray Allen's magic three-pointer.

This means that O'Brien is old. If he were even two years younger, it would be difficult for the Celtics to win, and these teams are all teams with super centers inside.

But how to solve it is a big problem, because it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. No matter how good the head coach is, he still has to look at what others are doing. If Garnett is missing from the inside, if it is so easy to solve, then doesn't Garnett seem too useless?

, before the veteran Dirk won the championship, the top two power forwards in the league and Duncan suddenly became famous. His role obviously cannot be easily replaced by a few substitutes and a few tactics.

But now we have to face this problem. If Zuo Li's problem is not solved, a comeback is impossible. We can't wait for him to run out of energy. Judging from his lively appearance in the first half, I don't know if he will have to wait until the end of the year.

And Zuo Lizhi is only 20. Can someone at this age really be tired?

Don’t worry, Zuo Li didn’t lie down because he was tired. The Celtic men, who were in their 30s, fell down first.

So everyone brainstormed and decided that it was necessary to double-team and combine it with other attrition tactics.

"Big delay, the defense goes out wide, and when he stands on the left to catch the ball, someone must interfere with him. Don't let him get the ball easily, wear him out, and make it difficult for him to catch every ball. If he breaks through, double-team, back-up

You have to resolutely attack with your body, and at the same time, pay attention to protecting the rebound!" Pierce said.

As for why they didn't cut the Sharks, if you know a little about Perkins and the free throw shooting percentages of Rondo and Rondo, you won't have to ask this question. It won't be certain who will cut the other.

What? You said everyone made the tactics, so what did Celtics head coach Doc Rivers do in these 15 minutes?

Here it is!

"Believe me, guys, 20 points is nothing! They will definitely relax in the second half. This is our chance, reversal, in our own territory, the Knicks will never get what they want, no way! Let us go

Fight! Fight, brothers!"

Rivers is very good at giving players chicken soup for their souls. Many of his speeches at critical moments are absolutely perfect compositions. This Green Army is a bunch of passionate old men. Rivers can easily boost the team's morale after he makes a sensational statement.

But it is easy for the players to clear up in the future. For example, when they lose, the players look back and think, what else will you do as a coach besides shouting 666, you jerk!

Later generations of Green Army players such as Pierce and Garnett often said in public that Rivers' tactics were not good. What Zuo Li remembers most is that Pierce once said that he relied too much on the existing talents of the assistant coaching team and players and would not develop new things. On the court

The three of them came up to discuss with Rondo.

Domestic forums are also full of comments about what Rivers would do besides making chicken soup.

To a certain extent, there is nothing wrong with these things. As a head coach, his shortcomings are still very obvious.

But in the three seasons from 2008 to 10, his words were quite useful.

At least in the second half, the Green Army showed a different defensive intensity. If the first half was at the ordinary playoff level, the second half was at the finals level.

As soon as they came up, they attacked and attacked the Knicks' lineup like crazy. Randolph, for example, was surrounded as soon as he got the ball in the paint. Randolph got strong, and Perkins slapped him down with a fierce slap. Absolutely

Don't give 21 a chance.

Taking advantage of Zuo Li's three and a half minutes of rest, the Celtics recovered 7 points. This efficiency in chasing points made Zuo Li's return no problem.

"Zuo Li is back on the court now, Charles, the Celtics are obviously not affected by being 20 points behind. Their defense is even more fierce, and the Knicks are also in a scoring drought." Kenny Smith said.

"Well, let's see how the Knicks will attack after Zuo Li comes back. He has already scored 41 points. He still has a good chance of breaking through the 50-point mark. Breaking 50 points as a rookie would be amazing.

Achievements," Barkley said.

With Zuo Li back, the Knicks finally have a backbone. The Knicks' offensive tactics tonight are very simple. Just like the Cavaliers next door, they give Zuo Li the opportunity without hesitation.

However, the Knicks made a mistake on the first goal. The Celtics' big delay was very wide. The defensive intensity and intention were too obvious. Rondo stole the ball in one go. The Knicks' advantage was only 11 points.

"Don't worry, I'll dribble the ball." Zuo Li also knew that the Celtics were going big, but he also had a way to deal with it. It's only the third quarter, you can't just press me all over the court now, right?

Your physical strength is definitely not enough to support the whole court, so Zuo Li went directly back and dribbled the ball through half the court.

So all the fans in the audience witnessed the magical scene of the center dribbling the ball across half court, calling the pick-and-roll to break through and complete the throw-in and score the goal.

"Is this still considered a center?" Smith couldn't laugh or cry.

Of course it counts!

These guys are still too fixed in their thinking now. I wonder if a center who can't break through a one-stop shop in the future will not be considered a good center!

In front of the TV, a young man named Giannis, who has traveled from Greece to New York, is currently training with a group of people at a training ground, watching Zuo Li on the TV thoughtfully.

It turns out that this is also possible!

Of course it can, and it’s absolutely possible!

The Green Army's well-designed defense was once again broken by Zuo Li. The Green Army had no choice but to implement a full-court press in the second half of the third quarter. However, according to their flexibility and physical fitness, this method was no longer a threat after a few times.

In the end, although Zuo Li stole one of the goals, Zuo Li seized the opportunity at the last moment to dunk the blue ball and succeed!

Zuo Li once again contributed 10 points in this quarter, scoring more than 50 points in three quarters!
