Chapter seven hundred and eighty first Celtic pillar

"Boy, I'll see what you do this time"

O'Neal looked fierce and thought in his heart that this game was really important to him. This was an opportunity for him to prove to everyone that he was the best NBA player. He has won the regular season MVP this year, and he is now the best regular season player in the league.

But this is far from enough for him. He needs a finals. This is his twelfth year in the league. He doesn't have much time to spend. At most, three years. He knows that his current abilities have dropped a lot after the injury last season, and he also knows that his future peak time may only be left for the last three or even two years.

In this case, this year is definitely the best opportunity. He now has the best teammates in the world. This is a group with no reason to fail. It might be better if he could replace the No. 8 player with Carter or McGrady, but even if it was not replaced, it would have given the Lakers enough ability to despise the heroes. In this case, O'Neal always believed that he could carry the team's flag and lead the team forward. In fact, he did this in the previous game. Whether he led the team to regain the first place in the Western Conference in the regular season, or scored terrifying data per game of 29.5 points and 12 rebounds in this playoffs, he thought he could still lead the team as he did in the past.

"No matter whether I am at my peak or not, I am still the best inside line in the league, and I am still the best player in the league." Almost after thinking about it, the Lakers' big man got up directly after receiving Payton's straight pass from the free throw line. This is also one of his most accustomed to offense. Before this game, he knew that he was playing too simple and wanted to solve the problem with one-on-one. Now the Celtics' defense does not leave him too much singles time. He needs more efficient and faster offense. At this point, he knows that he needs to change slowly. After all, he is extremely unhappy about the team's backwardness caused by his unfavorable offense, especially when he sees the vague contempt in the eyes of the No. 8 teammate, this big man feels uncomfortable.

Of course, for O'Pang, when he was able to receive the ball at the basket and turned around, let alone a Yao Ming, even Russell did not have much excitement, and this time it was the case. After the basketball went out of O'Neal, he almost went into the net hollow.

However, what is a little surprising is that Yao Ming did not fly out like most insiders under the direct crushing of O'Pang. The power of the Chinese player's lower set is surprising. Similarly, no matter how beautiful O'Pang's Xiaogou played under the basket this time, it was actually the first time in his game, and at this time the game was almost half. The Chinese player's defense is also surprising. After all, it is hard to imagine a Chinese man who can do this, but now the Celtics' big man has done it.

So after the ball was scored, O'Pang just breathed a sigh of relief and did not feel much joy.

"It's a pity, but Tom, I did a good job and the more than a week has not been wasted. It should be said that you have done a great job this year."

Boston, North Shore Garden Arena, the battle between the Boston Celtics and the Lakers. Many people originally thought that at the beginning of this round of series, the two teams were just furiously biting and it was difficult to tell the outcome. In fact, the two teams were actually furiously biting. Perhaps no game could be as crazy as these two teams came up. Also, no two teams could have such great hatred between each other as soon as they came up. In this case, this game really satisfies many people's vision of furious biting in this game.

But another point is that the game has been entangled but no satisfactory answer is given. Because from the end of the first quarter, when the Celtics were leading ten at home, the game was completely in the hands of the Celtics. In fact, as the game progressed, the Boston Celtics' leading advantage was not caught up with or narrowed by the Lakers, and it was even slightly expanded. For many people, this game made them a little dazed because both teams used too much force in this game, which is inevitable. If Kyle hurts the Lakers, it would be strange if Phil Jackson and Zhuang Fei meet them and can still play slowly.

It's just that it's unexpected that the Boston Celtics' punch hit the Lakers' idea, and the Lakers' punch hits directly on cotton. The difference is the difference in the scores between the two teams at the beginning of this game. In fact, from the scene, the Lakers have a great momentum, and they even have no way to put the basketball into the basket, and this is probably the biggest problem. The person who created such a problem for the Lakers is naturally not someone else, but the Boston Celtics' assistant coach Tom Siberdu, who has been standing next to Zhuang Fei in this game, has made great progress in the defense of these superstars with great ability after receiving the assistance of Duncan and Carter.

In the regular season, the Lakers could directly use O'Pang to crush the Celtics, but now it is difficult to do this. Although O'Pang and Duncan have many differences in ability, they actually have similarities in defense against the two people, and the same is true for Carter and Kobe. Therefore, if the Lakers simply think that O'Pang can crush the Celtics to kill or Kobe to singles solve the problem, it would probably be difficult to achieve, and it might even be tragic. In fact, at the beginning of this game, the Lakers were tragically hit. The Lakers, who had fought with the Timberwolves for six games, would find it difficult to feel that Zhuang Fei had prepared such a trip Marsos for them in advance.

"It should be that Yao Ming and Jermaine's defense are doing better. These two people are working harder and more and more in line. I think in time, they will become the best inside defensive combination in the league and the pillar of the best defensive system."

After being recognized by Zhuang Fei, Tom Siberdu did not have much pride. For him, the combination of Yao Ming and Xiao Ao is great. One has strong lower limbs and can withstand most players in the league, just like an Optimus Prime, while the other has super mobile ability and an inside lubricant. When these two people appear in a defensive system, such defense is actually difficult to break through, especially if it is difficult to break through if one wants to use one's personal ability. At least when practicing, it is difficult to freely play the two inside players like last year's finals.

Of course, a defensive coordination system like the Celtics is not a double-team. In this case, if a player really wants to deform the Celtics' defensive system with his own strength, then he can only make the Celtics' defense unable to defend without double-teaming, which can naturally break the Celtics' defensive system. However, when practicing, neither Carter nor Duncan finally let the Celtics double-team them. In this case, Tom Siberdu naturally does not think that the Lakers can have a person's personal ability that is so strong that they can be like Carter and Duncan now. Perhaps O'Neal two years ago, but it is hard to say that O'Neal is now, and his playing style is definitely looking for death, and he can die miserably.

“These two guys are really more and more reassuring.”

Zhuang Fei also smiled and nodded. Xiao Ao's shortcomings that had been criticized by Zhuang Fei before were that he was impatient. His IQ and football quotient were not very high. Although he was super capable, he always didn't feel relieved. Not long ago, after Carter's incident in the Eastern Conference Finals, the leader of the Boston Celtics who had been impatient, gradually began to change.

Especially in the last two games against the Grizzlies, the Boston Celtics' best inside defense directly supported the Celtics' inside defense system. This way, he was completely different from the inside player who was beaten by Carter in the previous games one-on-one.

Obviously, this is a mature story of O'Neal Jr. This high school player who is 26 years old and has been playing in the NBA for 8 years can truly relieve Zhuang Fei, and it can also make Zhuang Fei believe that he can support the sky for the team as he said.

Of course, in addition to O'O, Yao Ming is the same. The Boston Celtics' inside offensive fulcrum has always been a defensive black hole when entering the NBA, and his defensive awareness is extremely poor. Although Zhuang Fei and Green have been helping him correct such problems as soon as he entered the league. But it is obvious that both Zhuang Fei and Green are the kind of coaches who are better off than defense, and their ability to defend is difficult to make Yao Ming have substantial changes. Although Yao Ming is actually improving in defense, it is only progressing and there is no qualitative change.

This season, after Xibedu came, the situation turned around. Yao Ming's defensive consciousness is still much worse than that of players like O'O and Jackson, and even several levels are worse. However, as a pillar of the penalty area, his defensive consciousness and ability are enough. After all, he does not need to fight against a small player.

Of course, for Yao Ming, after his defense has strengthened, he will naturally be as Zhuang Fei said before, and his position as the first center in the league is constantly approaching. Of course, this is also the future. Now, both Yao Ming and Xiao O are already the absolute backing of the Boston Celtics and are also the players that everyone can rely on. This is probably also the thing that Zhuang Fei is most happy about. The talent of the Celtics players is not inferior to that of the Timberwolves, and even stronger. However, Zhuang Fei has always been assured of this team that is not as reliable as the Timberwolves or Wake Forest. Now, this team can be compared with the Timberwolves and even Wake Forest.

"The Celtics' defensive position selection is really good, and the barrier effect of Yao Ming and Jermaine O'Neal is very obvious. Shaq and the Lakers are looking for change, but it is obvious that the team has given up the plan formulated in the past few days from the beginning of the game, making it difficult for the team to adapt to the situation on the court quickly. I think this backwardness will continue for a while, but I still need to praise the three Celtics' forward players, Yao Ming, Jermaine O'Neal, Tracy McGrady. This may not be worse than you, McHale and Parish, and they were the first to be."

The situation at the beginning of this game exceeded the Lakers' expectations. The tactics prepared by the Lakers in the past few days were not played in this game and were forced to change immediately. Such a change was actually a failure. So in this case, although the Magician did not want the Lakers to fall behind, he also knew that this was impossible to avoid, unless the Lakers could find a way to adapt to the Celtics as fast as possible. Of course, even if he was unwilling to bear the failure of his home team, the Magician did not forget to disgust Larry Bird on his side. He knew very clearly that although his old opponent looked like a gentleman, he was not a gentleman in fact. He looked very humble, but actually was extremely conceited.

"Well, I think so too. If they can defeat this powerful Lakers in history, then they will be the most powerful team in history of the Celtics." But this time, what surprised the Magic was that after hearing his ridicule, Larry Bird was not angry at all, and actually admitted it with a smile on his face. However, after listening to Larry Bird's words, the greatest player in the history of the Lakers shook his head helplessly. Obviously, Larry Bird's mouth is still better than him.

Of course, for the fans in front of the TV, this game surprised them. No one expected the Lakers' defeat, but it was also a very good thing to see Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, two former legends, bickering together.

When the first half of the game ended, the Celtics led the Lakers by 13 points 54-41. The team that ranked first in the regular season offense now scored only 41 points in the half. When many people noticed O'Neal's 8 of 18 on the broadcast screen, they were not surprised too much.

In the first half, both the Lakers and O'Neal were completely controlled by the Celtics and the Chinese. Now, after the Chinese move, it may be the time for Feier Jackson to take action, if he still wants to win this game.
