Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

After the first quarter rest, play the second quarter.

Ford's pig-raising method obviously cannot replace the three players Parrish, Douglas, and Brown. And according to the Jazz's current momentum of being strong internally and weak externally...Parrish can't produce any outstanding statistics, but Douglas , Brown can still be saved.

So the Celtics' tactic in the second quarter was to fire from the outside. Ford specifically asked Douglas and Brown to take more shots, and the others actively ran to support them. This tactic did not cause dissatisfaction among the players, because no one was willing to forcefully attack Li Shengli or Li Shengli. Malone, for one, rushing inside was more like committing suicide.

Although Parish was an average double-double center for several consecutive seasons during his peak period, and once scored a double-30 figure of 30 points and 32 rebounds in a game against the Knicks, the veteran now relies more on his experience. Playing basketball is really far inferior to the new generation of players physically.

As for Pinckney, a blue-collar player, he is simply a younger brother in front of Malone. At most, he can be regarded as a stable human shield. He uses strong confrontation to reduce the Jazz's internal offensive efficiency.

…

The Green Kai generals really didn't know about their coach's pig-raising plan. Douglas and Brown, who were ordered to take action at a critical moment and were named by the coach to increase their shots, burst into tears.

What's this?

This is the greatest trust of the coach!

So in order to live up to Ford's important role, the two brothers played bravely in the second quarter and basically hit all their mid-range shots. Halfway through the second quarter, the two of them took 8 shots and actually scored 7, while the Jazz's Jerry - Sloan didn't buy it anymore. After a timeout, he named Crotty and Bond, who were defending the two brothers.

In normal times, when the Jazz are firmly ranked first in the Western Conference and winning or losing is irrelevant, Jerry Sloan would not be so anxious. However, this game is a key game for the Jazz to win 30 consecutive games.

There is a big difference between 29 consecutive wins and 30 consecutive wins.

Although it is only one game away, and although it has firmly occupied the second consecutive winning streak in NBA history, the significance of hitting 30 consecutive wins is extraordinary, because excellence does not mean perfection, so Jerry Sloan definitely does not want to win this game. Loser, and Crotty and Bond's defensive mission is very clear, which is to drive Douglas and Brown inside and let Li Shengli and Malone kill them.

…

Back on the field again.

Ford was also an old fox, and he obviously anticipated Sloan's thoughts on the Jazz side. Douglas and Brown implemented his tactics very well. Not only did they not attack inside, but they also increased the distance and range of their shots, becoming two machines. Three point artillery.

Double three-point shooter?

Green Kai’s home fans were confused, because their team had never played like this before, and even the entire league couldn’t seem to find a precedent for this kind of tactics, but what they could see was... Ford’s arrangement, plus Douglas and Brown. It feels hot in the hand and the tactical effect is surprisingly good.

In the first half, the two made a combined 7 of 8 shots and scored 14 points.

In the second half, they still took 8 shots, but these 8 shots were all three-pointers. They hit 4 times in total, 2 three-pointers each.

The three-point shooting rate of 4 out of 8 is a bit fucked, and what's even more fucked up is... one of Douglas's two three-pointers was 3+1. In addition to Brown's two three-pointers, he also made three free throws.

The two scored a staggering 30 points in the second quarter.

…

The significance of the existence of three-point shooters is not only to score 3 points more than 2 points, but more importantly, under Ford's arrangement, Douglas and Brown are positioned in the left and right corners.

With this kind of positioning, it is difficult for the Jazz's defense to help defend and double-team in the first place. However, Douglas and Brown have amazing hands and cannot defend alone.

In addition, the Celtics' small forward James has taken on the role of point guard and has become a transfer station in the high post, giving the Celtics' offensive system a hint of the Bulls' triangle offense.

The only difference between the two is... the Bulls focus on Jordan's corner, but the Celtics' is an isosceles triangle. Douglas and Brown can both shoot efficiently. The Jazz's defensive effect is not good.

…

Based on this, the Jazz's outside defense was blown away. Douglas and Brown became more and more excited as they played, and the more they played, the hotter they felt. And in this game... Li Shengli and Malone almost cried in disgust.

To be honest, Li Shengli and Ma Long's combined inside power is stable and amazing, but two-pointers and two-pointers are really unable to beat the two opposing three-point shooters with amazing hands, even if they have better rebounding data. It's useless to hold on to the Celtics.

As for Crotty and Bond, who were guarding the two three-point shooters, it wasn't that they didn't work hard, it was because their opponents were so disgusting. They defended one-on-one and it didn't matter where you stood. They just threw the ball when they got it, but they still threw it very accurately. Incomparable.

They deliberately used fouls to curb the momentum, but the two brothers on the opposite side were too wild and could always throw the ball out at the first opportunity, either 3+1 or all three free throws.

Strength cannot beat luck?

Sometimes it's so infuriating that Jerry Sloan cursed him from the sidelines.

Where did Ford find these two heroic bombardiers? It was simply crazy to the point of no bounds, no matter how many shots you made, you could make it, and what was even more frightening was... Although the two sides were tied in the first quarter, the Jazz exploded in the second quarter.

At midfield, the score was 51:64, with the Jazz trailing by 13 points.

Judging from this score, there is no problem with the Jazz's offense. After all, 50 points in the half is not a small number. The problem is that the Celtics' Douglas and Brown have amazing touch, and they make 50%+ of their shots outside the three-point line.

…

Fight again in the second half.

The third quarter was the same as before. For the Jazz, Li Shengli and Malone scored two points in the paint, while for the Celtics... Douglas and Brown shot three-pointers from outside the three-point line, leaving Li Shengli and Malone with blood on their faces. This quarter again They were beaten 25:33 behind, and the score difference reached 21 points.

Jerry Sloan didn't want to lose yet. After all, he was attacking for 30 consecutive games, so even though Li Shengli and Malone had played for three quarters, they replaced substitutes with better physical fitness in other positions to defend.

According to Sloan's idea, if the Jazz still can't suppress the two bombardiers Douglas and Brown, Li Shengli and Malone can retreat. But if the Green Kai The bombardier misfired, and the Jazz still had to find a way to push it forward again.

So the game came to the fourth quarter.

For the first time, the Jazz felt frustrated. Even if they beat the opponent's inside line, it would be useless. Jerry Sloan, holding his head on the sidelines, couldn't believe that the game could turn out like this. .

Not to mention the Jazz, Sloan swore... any team in the league would have to stay in Boston today.

There are strengths and weaknesses of NBA teams, but every game must also consider the upper and lower limits of performance. It is obvious that the Celtics' performance is beyond the limit, because Douglas and Brown simply cannot handle it.

Finally, halfway through the fourth quarter.

The Jazz fell behind by 25 points, and Jerry Sloan replaced Li Shengli and Malone, completely giving up. As for the Celtics... pig-raising coach Chris Ford saw this scene and immediately Put the previously replaced Parrish on the court again, preparing to improve Parrish's data.

Keep a line in your life so that we can meet again in the future.

According to the unwritten rules of the NBA, if the disadvantaged side gives up the game, the advantaged side should drop the main force, and Ford does not want to leave a bad impression on Li Shengli. After all, Douglas and Brown are already very fat. They played three and a half quarters and scored 76 points together. , so these two brothers were replaced directly.

Until the end of the game, the point difference was recovered by the Jazz by 5 points at the end of the fourth quarter, and the game ended at 99:119.

Although Li Shengli and Malone scored 52 points together, compared with the Celtics' unsolvable three-pointers from the outside, the two brothers felt powerless. When the two sides shook hands and left the game after the game, the pig-raising coach Ke Reese Ford actually went straight to Li Shengli.

"Li, you played so beautifully in today's game." Ford smiled like a dog's tail flower, and the Jazz team was collectively stunned.

Taunting us?

Or is the head coach taking the lead in mocking?

Li Shengli had a cold face and didn't even want to talk to the person in front of him. After all, soldiers were fighting against soldiers and generals, because he saw Mr. Sloan coming to kill him.

"Get out of here, idiot." Jerry Sloan had such a bad temper that he dared to hit the referee, so he came up and sprayed Ford in the face.

Although this circle is not big, there is not much hostility between the head coaches on weekdays, but Ford even mocked him personally, and Sloan didn't criticize him for being evil.

"Don't say that, we won in the end, didn't we?"

"Joke! Look at how ridiculous you look now. Beating us is like celebrating Christmas. How long has it been since you led the team to win?" Jerry Sloan was a little troll when he was playing, but now he is The head coach can only say that this guy's skills are getting better and better.

How long has it been since we won?

Hearing this, Ford's face turned green, "Whatever you say, I'll ignore you anyway. Li, look at our home stadium, do you like it here?"

After Ford said that, he immediately started to take action, which meant that he was going to take Li Shengli to take a good look at the home court of Green Kai. Jerry Sloan immediately jumped up and opened Ford's hand with a slap, "Get away, don't touch my people."

"What, you don't know yet?" Ford glanced at Jerry Sloan in surprise, "Man, it seems that the relationship between Larry Miller and you is not as good as the rumors. To be honest, these capitalists are They have no conscience, they care more about their own interests, so you’d better not take them too seriously.”

"And...your people will no longer be your people soon."

"What do you mean?"

"No fun, good luck, man!"

After Ford finished speaking, he left. Not only Jerry Sloan, but everyone on the Jazz side was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and no one was a fool. The meaning behind Ford's words was very clear, that is, someone in the Jazz would be raped. trade.

It makes no sense that Jerry Sloan didn't know about the Jazz's trading operations, but Ford, an outsider, knew it first? ! No one could figure this out, including Jerry Sloan himself.

"Coach, why do I have a bad premonition!" Ma Long was blocked for no reason. Although he didn't believe Ford's words, there must be a reason for the groundless things, and more importantly... Ford just showed to Li Shengli Strange enthusiasm.

"Stop talking nonsense and prepare for a press conference later."

"But what's the problem?"

"You don't have to worry about this, leave it to me."

Jerry Sloan didn't even say any unnecessary nonsense and returned to the locker room with a cold face. Malone, however, couldn't relieve the tightness in his chest no matter how deep he took a deep breath. He looked at each other and followed Li Shengli out urgently.
