Rick Carlisle called a timeout over there. In fact, Rivers had been waiting for him to call a timeout. Although he looked calmer, Rivers also knew in his heart that this was just a gamble, just like O
Just like Rajuwan blocking Starks, this is a flash in the pan and does not appear often.
And Milicic himself knew very well that if Miller was not 40 years old, had not been exhausted before halftime, and had not reacted much slower than when he was young, the 29-year-old Miller would have been almost unstoppable, then Jordan at that time
What? The more I think about it, the more terrifying I feel.
Some people have divided NBA players into levels before, and there are several types of players who can enter the level:
Stars: Young Eddie Jones, Jimmy Jackson, Mashburn, Maggette, Ben Gordon, Kevin Martin, Odom and others can be the first and second players in some rebuilding or young teams.
Brother, he has been stably averaging around 20 per game or close to a double-double, but it is difficult to take on a big role and cannot lead the team further.
Ace role players: Holly, Uncle Bao, Shane Battier, Uncle Mu, Steve Kerr, Brian Shaw, these super role players who can perform well in the finals and can influence the situation of the game.
All-Stars: Ou, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Marbury, Francis, Big Beard, etc., can be the boss of a team, and can also produce good results. They are regulars in the All-Stars, and their statistics are also very good, but
Lack of particularly convincing playoff performance in his career.
Hall of Fame: KG, Pierce, Ray Allen, Iverson, Chris Webber, Wilkins, Mourning, either a championship winner or a member of a team with championship potential. In his contemporaries, he is almost superior to
above other players.
Epic superstars: Olajuwon, O'Neal, Magic, Big Bird, Kobe, Duncan, Miller, Barkley, Moses Malone, Stockton, Karl Malone and others are enough to be included in the ranking of superstars in history. Regardless of whether there is
Without a championship, there is no solution.
The three ancient beasts: Russell, Chamberlain, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, no one can compete with them. They have the ability to lead a team by one person and destroy any other team. The data has reached an outrageous level, surpassing the players of the same generation by several levels.
The God of Basketball: Jordan, no need to explain.
And Milicic's All-Star seems to be just more popular. In terms of strength, he can only be regarded as a star-level player now. He can't even reach the All-Star level, so I can't help but sigh in my heart. If Miller is young,
Some words may have destroyed the Celtics in the first half. Although the current Celtics team is very strong, it is relative. The leather team can only be regarded as an All-Star team now, and it is far from what it will be later.
Strength and resilience during the championship mvp period.
Rivers changed the lineup again, and Milicic had already had the effect of interrupting Miller's touch. If it continues like this, Carlisle will get it wrong, and Carlisle must have seen some clues just now and called a timeout.
So Rivers brought Tony Allen back again, Chris Anderson went off, and Milicic returned to the center position.
Rivers said to Tony Allen: "Tony, have you seen what Darko did? Stay focused. Even if you can't block him, you still have to interfere and disrupt his rhythm. You don't necessarily have to follow him.
You also need to pay attention to Tinsley's passing route, and you can also cut off the passing route. Don't let Miller catch the ball comfortably and consume his energy as much as possible."
After arranging the tactics, the players took the field again, and Carlisle knew well after seeing Rivers' changes that Milicic's defense just now was just an accident, just like the Rockets once used Ryan Bowen to
Just like Wen's success in defending Nowitzki, he can only play in that period of time. Once he is cracked, he will no longer be able to play a role.
Milicic's huge body not only interferes with the Pacers' formation, but also interferes with the Celtics' defensive formation. Moreover, other Celtics players are not very familiar with this improvised tactic.
Therefore, many problems arise during the rotation connection.
The Pacers players took the field again, and they still attacked and defended step by step. It is undeniable that the Pacers' experienced experience and awareness made the Celtics unable to resist.
That Little O'Neal can serve as another core presence besides Miller proves his strength to a certain extent. However, the Little O'Neal that Milicic encountered this season was not in the most perfect condition. Little O'Neal at the beginning of the season was not
He did not show his full strength, and O'Neal Jr., who returned shortly after the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, injured his right shoulder again and was only able to return in the last few games of the regular season, so the integration with the team was not particularly ideal.
But even so, O'Neal still scored a lot of points in front of the Celtics inside line. When attacking again, O'Neal turned his back to Milicic, tested Milicic's reaction with his defender, and feinted to the left.
Then he quickly turned to the right, threw Milicic out, broke through to the basket, and held the ball with both hands for a dunk.
Al Jefferson over there rushed over to block the shot. Although his shot was a little slow, he still successfully blocked O'Neal. His hand hit O'Neal's shoulder hard, and O'Neal cried out in pain.
There was a sound and he fell heavily to the ground.
O'Neal missed 22 games due to an injury to his right shoulder. The team doctor told him that his right shoulder should not be touched by others. It is precisely because of this that O'Neal's performance was restricted by Milicic. In fact, O'Neal's performance was restricted by Milicic.
His ability is far better than Milicic's.
History is so strikingly similar. O'Neal was once again injured and unable to compete due to Al Jefferson's actions. The most distressing person about this sudden change was not O'Neal or Carlisle, but Reggie Miller, who was already his tenth game.
It's been eight seasons and he can't wait any longer.
After an examination by the team doctor, a heartbreaking news was announced. O'Neal's injury required surgical treatment, which meant that O'Neal was completely written off for the season.
But at this time, Reggie Miller had returned to normal. He clapped his hands and shouted: "We are the championship! I can destroy this child army in front of me with one hand. Concentrate and end the game quickly."
It was these words that made Carlisle, who had just fallen into grief, be the first to recover. He saw Miller's fighting spirit and couldn't help but be moved by it. He shouted loudly to the players: "Like Reggie said, beat them."
