There were still 1 minute and 47 seconds left before the end of the game. The Celtics were leading by 3 points. Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout. Any score at this time may change the trend of the game, and Carlisle could also see that the Celtics
The defensive intensity of the team has obviously improved. Although the team has All-Star O'Neal in the inside, although O'Neal's offensive skills are relatively comprehensive, the shooting rate is really low for the inside, and it has not reached 100% in his peak period.
Fifty, the success rate of step-back jump shots and gorgeous footsteps is not high when encountering players with solid defensive skills. Although the opponent's defense of Milicic and Jefferson is not that absolutely outstanding, this game has not been so far.
So far, O'Neal Jr. has only scored 17 points, and he shot 7 of 18 from the field. O'Neal Jr. is not a player with particularly good psychological quality, so despite his skillful skills and excellent physical talent, he still has not become an epic superstar.
There are few feats of saving the team at critical moments in his career. In comparison, Miller's big heart, Artest and Jackson's ignorance and fearlessness, and Tinsley's calmness are more trustworthy.
Carlisle replaced Foster, who had no offensive ability, and replaced him with Stephen Jackson, moving Artest to the power forward position. O'Neal led a lineup with four minor players. This lineup is more mobile.
, the offensive range is larger, which will make the Celtics' 4-1 zone defense tactics difficult to implement. The Celtics giving up zone defense will give Tinsley more breakthrough opportunities, and will also release O'Neal Jr. and Artest.
Special space to play inside.
"Reggie, you have to run along the sideline and create enough space. Stephen, you wait for the pass at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line. If there is a chance of a three-pointer, you must make a decisive move. Jamal, when they pull
When you open up space, you have to break through to the inside and observe Reggie's movement. If there is an opening inside, give it to the inside first to ensure the success rate of the attack. When there is no chance to make a shot, return the ball to Stephen, and your first breakthrough point will be
We need to leave about 10 seconds of attack time after the ball. If the attack fails, we can have enough time to organize the second time..."
Carlisle was holding a tactical board and constantly drawing the players' running routes and laying out offensive tactics.
Rivers, on the other hand, was not more tactically realistic. He said to the players like a speaker: "I know no one thinks we will beat the Pacers, who ranked first in the regular season last year.
I know that at the beginning of this season, everyone outside thought that we were a weak team. Paul, they did not believe in your leadership ability and thought that leading the team to the playoffs was the limit of your ability. Gary
, they think you are too old to guard against anyone, and will never have a chance to win a championship in this life. Darko, they say you are a parallel import and a disgrace to the 03 golden generation... But I know what they are doing
It's all bullshit. They didn't see how hard you worked on the training ground. What I want to say to you is that you can come to the NBA, which proves that you are all geniuses, but real geniuses are not nothing.
You can achieve success if you do it. A real genius cherishes every effort he puts in, so he works harder to achieve real success. I have also been a player. In the decades since I have been exposed to basketball, I
I have met many talented players whose talent made me say: 'Oh! There are people who can do this!' But they did not succeed because they believed the bullshit of their opponents, commentators and experts.
, they will say that it is impossible for you to succeed. But believe me, children! Success cannot be predicted. If you want it, if you have a dream, then you can do it. I believe in things they don't believe in,
I believe that Paul can win the Finals MVP, I believe that Gary can win the championship, I believe that Darko is the best player in the 03 generation, and I believe that you are the best! Now! Go and beat the one that others say is the best.
The team will be replaced by us!"
When the Celtics players came on the court again, their temperament had completely changed, and this feeling seemed to be only experienced in life-and-death battles in the playoffs. Miller, who has been on the court for many years, is naturally familiar with this feeling. He is quite familiar with it.
He was so excited that he smirked and said to himself: "This game is a little difficult, but I like to play this kind of game." Miller was never afraid of facing the peak god of basketball, even Jordan did defeat
defeated the Pacers, but never conquered Miller.
Miller was dragging Tony Allen, Jackson also attracted Pierce, Tinsley showed his superb dribbling breakthrough skills facing Payton, but Payton seemed to have changed, just like Ting
The year when Tinsley first entered the NBA, Payton, the boss of the Sonics, said to Tinsley: "Hey, boy, I have also played street ball, and your set is all leftover from my playing. There is something new."
Are there any tricks?"
Payton always stood on Tinsley's breakthrough route. He did not stretch out his hand easily, but he almost broke Tinsley's ball a few times. Tinsley did not choose to break through and took the ball.
The ball passed to Stephen Jackson. Jackson was not as reckless as he looked. His organizational skills were not bad. After receiving the ball, he passed it to Miller who ran outside the three-point line without stopping. Miller ran out.
After receiving the ball, he turned around and shot a three-pointer. At the moment when he finally took out the ball with his fingertips, Tony Allen hit Miller's hand. Miller fell to the ground, but there was an exasperated expression on the corner of his mouth.
Cold smile.
When the whistle sounded, the Pacers players all had smiles on their faces. They were very satisfied with Miller's three-pointer this time. But Miller said: "Three points? Is that enough?"
The ball drew a perfect parabola in the air and fell straight into the basket. A three-pointer was scored, plus a free throw!
Miller stood up under the pull of Tinsley, put his finger to his mouth to make everyone quiet, then gracefully walked to the free throw line amidst boos, swept around and waited for rebounds on both sides.
Milicic, Jefferson, Pierce and Tony Allen finally looked back at Payton behind him. When Milicic and Miller looked at each other, they had the illusion of being chilled all over. At this moment, Miller
Le is like a king, as if he can control the lives and deaths of others.
After extra free throws, Reggie Miller scored four points and the Pacers took the lead 1 minute and 25 seconds from the end of the game. The Pacers led the Celtics by 1 point 82 to 81.
He doesn't have gorgeous skills, a strong body, or amazing bounce, but he is scarier than anyone else.
PS: I have been staying on the newcomers and new books list on the homepage of Qidian these past few days, and my performance has increased rapidly. Some friends said that I should stop updating for two days and stay a little longer. However, I still feel that it is not kind to do so, so I updated yesterday.
The number of words has been exceeded and it has completely disappeared from the list. Fortunately, the performance has not seen any decline. After all, I still want to thank you for your support.
