That's what Doc Rivers said. Unexpectedly, Kevin Garnett immediately implemented it and quickly ordered Rajon Rondo to defend Douglas on the court later. He must control the Knicks' running from the source.
boom.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter, Rajon Rondo withdrew all the defensive attention originally placed on Yang Mo and began to pursue Douglas from the half. Douglas was so pressed that his speed quickly dropped.
As for the ball handler, as soon as his speed slows down, the efficiency of the fast break is completely broken, and it is completely useless. Even if the other four people quickly run to the frontcourt, the ball cannot pass, and they still run in vain.
When the Knicks' lineup couldn't activate the fast attack mode, it naturally fell into paralysis. They could only watch the Celtics get what they asked for. After two attacks failed to increase the speed, Yang Mo decisively changed the lineup, allowing
Milicchi Turiav came on the court, and also brought up Chandler and Larry Hughes.
When Hughes and Chandler come up, they will naturally strengthen their breakthroughs, while Turiaf and Milicic will protect the rebounds. As for Yang Mo, he still attracts the attention of the Celtics' defense.
Chandler and Hughes were also very competitive. When Yang Mo used off-ball running to suppress most of the defensive attention, their breakthroughs caused great damage. In this way, the Knicks soon saved the situation.
Stabilized the lead.
The anxious situation between the two sides lasted until the end of the midfield. The Celtics never changed their tactics, and their defensive focus seemed to always be on Yang Mo. Doc Rivers' ability to react on the spot seemed to be suddenly frozen.
Relying on those three axes to constantly struggle with the Knicks, if the Celtics' players were not strong enough, they would have been defeated long ago.
In the following third quarter, the Celtics still focused on defending Yang Mo. However, Yang Mo still did not participate in the offense. He just constantly adjusted his tactics, habitually going up and down, and using changeable lineups to gain tactical advantage.
Taking the initiative. In other words, he is using all kinds of changes to adapt to the situation. When his strength is not as good as others, he can only do this.
This situation continued into the fourth quarter, in fact, it lasted until there were only 8 minutes left before the end of the game. Doc Rivers, who had been pondering the entire game, accidentally looked up and discovered that the Knicks had unknowingly
When he was ahead by 13 minutes, he suddenly woke up. It turned out that he had been sleepwalking the whole game. Super-yang didn't have any trap at all. He had been passively making moves.
He quickly walked to the technical desk. He took a real-time data sheet and took a closer look. Six Knicks players were in double figures, but Yang Mo only scored 7 points. In this situation, there should be no double-team defense at all.
Spread your defensive energy and wait until super-yang really breaks out. Moreover, to deal with this kind of one-star team, you should let his star shoot to seal the connection between him and other players. Just like against
Just like Iverson back then, if he is cut off from other teammates, no matter how many points he can score, he will not be able to win.
drop!
Doc Rivers quickly requested a timeout, and he quickly called out the players: "Guys, we were fooled. We went in the wrong direction from the beginning. We should give up our defense on Super-Yang and cut him off from other players.
The connection made him a loner and allowed him to score. No matter how many points he scored, he couldn't save the Knicks."
Doc Rivers said, and quickly made careful arrangements for defense. Generally speaking, he strengthened his defense against other players and strategically gave up his defense against Yang Mo.
Yang Mo obviously did not expect that Doc Rivers would suddenly give up at the last moment after guarding himself for almost the entire game. Therefore, during the timeout, he continued to encourage his teammates to attack and let them take his place to solve the battle.
Soon, the whistle sounded and the game continued.
When the game restarted, the defending champion Celtics quickly played wonderful cooperation. Rajon Rondo used Garnett's pick-and-roll to break into the penalty area. Suddenly, a pass passed the basketball to Pierce at the top of the three-point arc. Pierce
He caught the ball a little and quickly attracted two players to double-team. At this time, he passed a hidden behind-the-back pass to Ray Allen in the corner. Ray Allen caught the ball and shot... Wow! A beautiful three-pointer.
point.
This coordination is really easy for the Celtics. They have long been accustomed to each other's presence. They can play more than ten or twenty such coordinations in a game. These old guys are so smart at playing.
They know better than anyone how to score the most efficiently with less power.
Ray Allen's goal successfully reduced the score to ten points. This was a dangerous lead. There were more than seven minutes left in the game. This point difference did not allow the Knicks to sit back and relax. After all, the opponent was the defending champion.
Coming to the frontcourt, Tracy McGrady quickly got into position after receiving the ball. As soon as he was about to play singles, Pierce and Rondo double-teamed him with lightning speed, and then immediately snatched the ball away from him.
.
Rondo stole the basketball and was about to launch a fast break when he noticed a dark shadow flashing in front of his eyes. He looked closely and saw that Yang Mo had already passed half the court. At this time, it was almost impossible for him to make a fast break.
I can only lower the rhythm slowly.
Rondo lowered his tempo and arrived at the frontcourt, and immediately organized his teammates to move in an orderly manner. While the Celtics players were running, he suddenly threw the ball into the sky. Seeing this, Yang Mo secretly yelled something bad and hurried to the penalty area.
He ran, but as soon as he started running, he was blocked by Rasheed Wallace. By the time he got around Wallace, Garnett had already made the alley-oop.
There's no way around it, these veterans are really too shrewd. Every shot they make is so reasonable. Although the pace of the game is dull and slow, they almost never make mistakes. This is where the danger lies.
Back in the frontcourt, Chandler tried to single out Rasheed Wallace. Who knew, as soon as he got the ball, Pierce, who was supposed to be guarding Yang Mo, gave up on Yang Mo again and double-teamed him. Chandler's body is really going to be bitten.
Resimetti was stronger. When faced with a double-team, he quickly threw the ball and was caught by Douglas. Douglas caught the ball and broke through quickly. He just started and was double-teamed again.
When Yang Mo saw this situation, he understood immediately. He quickly shouted: "Give me the ball!"
Douglas heard this and wanted to pass the ball, but it was already too late. Rajon Rondo had already used his gibbon-like long hands to scoop up the ball, and then flicked it to the frontcourt with a long swing. Ray was waiting on the side.
Allen rushed over quickly, and Yang Mo quickly chased after him, but when he was about to catch up, Ray Allen had already shot the three-pointer in a weird posture... Whoops!
The basketball hits the net!
In an instant, the point difference was reduced to five points.
drop!
Yang Mo decisively requested a timeout.
In just one minute, the Celtics recovered eight points. If there was no timeout, they would be taken away in a wave.
"The Celtics suddenly changed their defensive strategy. Were they trying to paralyze the Knicks before? Or were they deliberately letting off steam???" tn-t commentator Collins said angrily.
"I suspect they are teaming up with Kevin Durant to play tricks on super-yang. You see, they have been double-teaming Yang before, trying to make Yang take fewer shots and score less, so that Kevin Durant can score more
The goal of surpassing Super-Yang in the rankings. Now, Kevin Durant over there has scored 50 points, so they feel there is no need to double-team Super-Yang. So they started to let go of their defense against Super-Yang."
Barkley speculated with a look of disdain: "I didn't expect the Celtics to be so insidious."
"This might be just a coincidence. Doc Rivers has no reason to help Kevin Durant," Kenny Smith said.
"Anyway, super-yang is not so easy to surpass. I can guarantee that within three games, super-yang will be able to surpass him." Charles Barkley said confidently, he was full of confidence in Yang Mo.
"Now that the game over there is over, Kevin Durant's final score is 55 points. If Young's score in this game does not reach 36 points, then the second position in the scoring list will temporarily be taken by Kevin Durant.
Take it away. There are only more than seven minutes left in the game. Is it possible for Yang to score 29 points in the next game? This is obviously unrealistic." Collins said lightly. He believed that Kevin Durant surpassed Yang Mo.
It's a done deal. There can be no more changes.
"It's not completely hopeless, he's super-yang!" Barkley obviously lacked confidence, and scoring 29 points in seven minutes was really outrageous. Even Chamberlain wouldn't have this ability again.
At the same time, Yang Mo had already made targeted arrangements on the bench: "The Celtics are definitely going to cut off your contact with me now. Since they want to do this, we might as well just cut ourselves off.
Milicic, Turiaf, Jeffries and Tony Allen, follow me. Turiaf, your task on the offensive end is to pick and roll for me. Tony, your task is to back up for me. Be ready to take over at any time.
My pass. Jeffries, you are responsible for running around, and you have to create the illusion that you really want to score. Milicic, you are ready to receive my ball and dunk at any time. This is what everyone needs to do on the offensive end. As for defense,
Duan, I won’t say much more, everyone has a tacit understanding.”
Yang Mo made this substitution adjustment, and Stan next to him whispered: "Yang, are you planning to use LeBron James's method to complete the game?"
"No, it's the Iverson way." Yang Mo smiled slightly and said with great confidence.
Iverson's way?
Stein was a little confused, and then suddenly realized that it was indeed Iverson's way. Speaking of which, he and Larry Brown had a mentoring relationship. Larry Brown did play a similar lineup for Iverson back then, but at that time
The 76ers' point guard is McGee and the center is Mutombo. Although the center and point guard positions are not as good as those of the 76ers back then. But on defense, Stein believes that they are not inferior to the 76ers at all.
For six people.
The Sixers were the only team that could defeat the Lakers.
