At the 8-minute mark of the first quarter, the Celtics had basically replaced all the main players, leaving only the energetic Al Jefferson playing on the court with four substitutes, and again used
The tactic of one big and four small is adopted. This tactic has been tried and tested by Rivers in recent times. Delonte West, Marcus Banks, Tony Allen, and Darrell Wright are four
Their personal athletic ability is good, and their impact is extremely strong. The second lineup of ordinary teams cannot withstand their impact, and their defensive strength is very good. They rarely get the ball when playing against the second lineup of ordinary teams.
The team was able to take advantage of this period of time to catch up with the score. For this reason, these four guys plus Al Jefferson were nicknamed the "Celtic Five Tigers" by the media. The reason why Milicic's name did not appear in this
, considering that Milicic's strength is more than one step ahead of them, and is already close to the All-Star, it is indeed a bit fair if such a player is still called a tiger.
Originally, the Cavaliers still wanted to recover some points when the Celtics' main force came off the field, so they replaced Ilgauskas. Although this big man hit Al Jefferson several times in the offense,
, but his movement is too slow, and it is also very difficult to catch the ball. Jefferson always uses forward defense to deal with him. After finally getting the ball, he still has to guard against Tony Allen and Marcus Bank.
As long as the steal is successful or the ball is not scored, the Celtics will immediately have a third-line fast break. The dual point guard combination of West and Banks on the court at the same time has extremely strong passing ability and the ball moves.
The speed is fast, and both Darrell Wright and Tony Allen have good sense of air cutting, which makes the Cavaliers even more difficult to guard against. Big Z made two turnovers during this time on the court. In the second team competition
The Cavaliers still didn't take advantage. Three minutes into the second quarter, all the main players from both sides came on the court. By this time, the Celtics were already leading 32-21 by 11 points.
When they debuted again, the Cavaliers sent in the inside combination of Diop and Gooden, and on the outside were small forward James, shooting guard Snow, and point guard McGuinness. The Celtics had Milicic with Mark.
Blount is on the inside, and there are still two veterans and Pierce on the outside.
When Mark Blount was on the court, Milicic was playing hard under the basket. Although Diop had good height and strength, he was still a bit weak in front of Milicic. If he played like this, Big Z would be better, but Li
Firth didn't give Big Z a chance at all.
Bill Walton on the sidelines saw this and said with a smile: "If I were Rivers, I would use Milicic like this. When facing centers like O'Neal, Yao Ming, and Big Z, if it is not necessary,
At all times, let Milicic provide support and jump shots in the high post. Even if he can't make a jump shot, he still has to draw out this kind of big center. I remember that a few years ago, Nelson of the Mavericks introduced Chinese player Wang Zhizhi and planned to use him and Nowitzki.
The combination completely destroyed O'Neal. Although it did not become a reality, I like his idea, and judging from Milicic's performance, this tactic is feasible, even if a power forward is used to defend Milicic.
Some power forwards with mid-range and long-range shooting abilities, such as players like Mark Blount, will curb O'Neal's role to a certain extent."
After hearing this, Harmon shook his head and said: "The method you mentioned is just to take advantage of the weakness of the big center's movement speed during offense, but when it comes to defense, are you sure that if the Mavericks used Wang Zhizhi on defense at that time, they could guard O'Neal?
This tactic has a fatal weakness."
Walton laughed when he heard this and said: "Can another player be able to guard O'Neal? I don't think anyone in this league can guard O'Neal one-on-one for the entire game. Even if Duncan guards O'Neal,
He can only control him for half a quarter at most. So don't think about how to guard O'Neal, just let him make free throws."
"Can't Ben Wallace guard O'Neal one-on-one? He is the best defensive player, and you saw it in last year's finals."
"It depends on the system to defend. People with strong individual defense ability must have height and tonnage. This is a prerequisite, just like Allen Iverson. Even if his steal statistics are gorgeous, he will never be able to
Become a good one-on-one defensive player. Ben Wallace's innate conditions are too poor. If he leaves the Pistons system, his shortcomings will undoubtedly be exposed. Do you think if his single defense ability is strong, he will still be a good player.
A non-draft player? I heard before that he coached Milicic one-on-one in the team, and he was beaten so hard that his mother didn’t even recognize him."
"Then how do you think Milicic will defend O'Neal? How many minutes can he last?"
"This question... depends on the performance! I don't know how long I can last if I meet Stormy Daniels (American AV star). It depends on the state at the time, haha!" Bill Walton smiled obscenely.
Milicic is no longer the protagonist on the court. James and Pierce are competing. Although Milicic can make a difference in the interior offense, Pierce said he would train the junior, and Rivers also supported it.
If Pierce does this, this is a duel between the leading stars, and no one else is allowed to interfere.
After two consecutive crotch dribbles, James accelerated and passed Pierce. Pierce's shoulder rubbed against James' shoulder, but James' strength was not weak. He had no intention of stopping and went directly to the basket.
He rushed over, and Milicic saw that this guy had already charged. If he didn't want to be a top-five player, he might as well get out of the way. Milicic gave James a chance to dunk directly.
Looking back, Pierce faced James and swayed several times on the left side of the free throw line. Suddenly his body stopped and he shot. James subconsciously jumped up to block the shot, but as soon as he jumped up, he regretted it.
Even though he kept his body closed, Pierce still went to him, swung the ball up against James, and made two free throws, which was much easier than James' scoring method.
In the confrontation between the two, the Celtics led 61 to 45 at the end of the first half. Pierce scored 15 points, Milicic had 13 points and 4 rebounds, James from the Cavaliers had 17 points, and Ilgo
Scars had 9 points and 2 rebounds. However, James had already committed four fouls, three of which were on Pierce. His playing time in the second half had to be shortened by at least five minutes.
