The two sides fought each other until the fourth quarter. Contrary to "Cardinal" Auerbach's expectation, the Celtics not only failed to widen the score difference in one breath, but were overtaken by their opponents and even led by one point.
The current score between the two sides is 81-80, which is not too high.
At least in this era, it can be considered a relatively low scoring rhythm.
Why is this? Auerbach discovered a problem, that is, the Warriors' game rhythm is completely "out of touch" with the league's game rhythm. What does it mean? They actually wait for Chamberlain to pass before starting to attack every time. Basically,
It is rare to directly defend and counterattack after getting a backcourt rebound.
This was very rare in the 1960s.
With more positional battles, the pace of the game naturally slowed down, and Auerbach also discovered another problem, that is... the Green Army's "super defensive counterattack" style of play has also been criticized to a certain extent.
Influence.
It will affect the situation, which is normal. Once the position is in place, the formation will not be scattered easily, and you can retreat in an orderly manner even if you miss the target. It is completely different from the mindless push from the backcourt. At least,
Those mistakes that should have been more frequent in low-quality high-speed offense and defense transitions no longer exist.
This was originally a major strength of the Green Army.
Taking advantage of the invincible tacit understanding and stability of his team, he can catch the opponent's mistakes in almost every game and get a lot of easy conversion opportunities. How similar is this to the Spurs in later generations? In addition to the age, this era
The number of mistakes was much higher than that of later generations. From a tactical perspective, the 1960s did indeed appear to be "vulgar and immature".
It is completely opposite to the personal moves they constantly create.
Of course, without the accumulation of this era, there will be no NBA in the future. Standing on the shoulders of giants, in addition to talking about people, it can also be used to describe many things. It is wrong to focus on the past and ignore the present. It is wrong to focus on the present and ignore the past.
It is also undesirable.
Well, something has to change.
On the scene, Tang Qian tried his best to avoid Bill Russell in his offense. Anyway, if he faced the opponent, he would not take action. He would just pretend and pass the ball. Once the pick-and-roll was used to create an attack opportunity, or Bill Russell was blocked.
After being hung out, he did not hesitate and tried his best to hit the Green Army's basket.
Relying on his violent style of play, the Warriors have maintained a relatively positive morale on the scene.
However, in the last five minutes of the game, Tang Qian was basically unsustainable on the offensive end. After all, the defensive end and rebounding relied on the effect of the "demigod descending to earth", so there was no physical limit. However, on the offensive end, he could not help but
Limited. His current physical fitness cannot support him on the offensive end for so long.
Once the time is exceeded, the offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced.
In this era, especially a physical monster like Chamberlain, there is no need for any substitutes. If he said he would take a rest, Alex Hannum would probably think that he was "deliberately slacking off" and "deliberately losing". But he
The real reason behind this cannot be told yet. Therefore, Tang Qian decisively chose to slow down his attack on the offensive end or not take action at all.
But because Wilt Chamberlain is so famous in the league, when he gets the ball inside, he will still attract everyone's defensive attention with every move he makes.
The Green Army hit a mid-range shot. This shot had no tactics or coordination. It was just a matter of personal ability. Although Al Attles' defense was very good, it was impossible for him to defend Boston's Sam in one-on-one.
Jones's. After all, this season is the peak of Sam Jones's playoff performance. His shooting percentage exceeds 50%. This is not something ordinary star players can do in the playoffs. Even Elgin Baylor,
Rick Barry (the only two seasons in the playoffs where his shooting percentage exceeded 50% were both in the ABA. In fact, his highest in the NBA playoffs was only about 46%, and the rest were below 45%. He shot 7 times in the NBA season.
The three shooting percentages in the latter games were all below 40%, only 30%.) This kind of scoring superman of the same era has never done it in the playoffs. This shows that in the playoffs this season, Sam Jones’s
The state is strong.
In the playoffs this season, Sam Jones is indeed the leading scorer in the Green Army. Without him, the Green Army would not be able to win the NBA championship this season. He used a rebound shot that he is best at and made this shot.
Ball. Al Attles could only watch as the basketball hit the net.
At this point, it’s time to rely on one’s own abilities. Even in the 21st century a few decades later, that will still be the case.
Finally, it’s star time. Unless you can achieve the team level of the Spurs in the 13-14 season, otherwise, it’s all the same model.
Compared with the Warriors' lack of shooting points, the Boston Celtics are not. Needless to say, the two outsiders, Sam Jones and Havlicek are both very strong individual attackers. The second is the former Boston
The main scorer, Tom Heinsohn, although he has now given up his position as Boston's strongest scorer, his sword is still young. This is completely different from Willie Knowles in the same year. In addition, he is a lifelong green player.
He is a direct descendant of the army, so until this season, he still has a scoring contribution of 16+ in the regular season and 17+ in the playoffs. It is not as good as his peak playoff average of almost 25+, but it is enough.
Because for the Warriors, among the five starters, except for Wilt Chamberlain, none of them averaged better points per game than him.
It can even be said that they are far from each other.
I really don’t know how such a team made it to the NBA Finals. From Tang Qian’s point of view, these guys are extremely poor in terms of scoring ability. At least they are not comparable to the starting lineup of the championship lineup.
Seeing the score difference gradually widening, Auerbach relaxed a lot in his seat. Yes, with such a one-person team, what is there to worry about? We in Boston are dedicated to restraining the existence of such one-person teams.
ah.
Wilt, if you're to blame, blame yourself for not being here in Boston.
You are destined to be the lonely giant Goliath, powerful, but just a footnote to the great!
Seeing that the situation was one-sided again, "Tang Qian" became a little anxious. He didn't want to go into the next series with a 3-2 deficit. After all, it was not easy to win 2 games in a row. The opponent was not
What kind of noob? If this situation is formed, it will be extremely difficult to complete the subsequent tasks in an instant.
So Tang Qian began to show his strength on the defensive end. He entered an explosive state and suppressed the entire Boston interior attack. Unfortunately, the Warriors' offensive success rate was too low, and he could only secretly complain several times.
.
What should I do? You have to do it yourself.
In fact, the entire Warriors team is still looking at him.
But the problem is, as soon as he gets the ball, Boston surrounds him inside, making it impossible for him to score.
Moreover, his physical fitness is also a big problem.
As I said before, the "demigod" only cares about rebounding and defense, but not the offensive end.
This way there is no need for so many people to surround and suppress it. Even Bill Russell can't defeat it.
You can only distribute the ball and then try your best to fight for rebounds.
Sure enough, when this Warriors team reached this juncture, they simply had poor mental quality and insufficient experience in competitions. As soon as the ball was released, "Tang Qian" saw that it was impossible to go in. Because it was so crooked!
Forget it if it were someone else, the opponent is Bill Russell, who is famous and in excellent form this season.
Tang Qian basically rebounds and doesn't take much advantage. Even if he has the effect of "demigod descending to earth", it's the same.
At least he won't get a few offensive rebounds easily.
Damn it, Tang Qian got a little angry when he saw that he failed to get an offensive rebound again. Especially when he saw Russell's "deserting a beating" expression on his face, he became even more furious. With anger,
Tang Qian's defensive end directly gave way to space, tricking Bill Russell into shooting. Then, with a "rocket block", he flew into the air and hacked it down, and the basketball rolled out of the baseline.
In the case of "demigod descending to earth" and still not weakened by "inner demon", Tang Qian was able to use "rocket block" with ease. Russell's series was actually even worse than in the original time and space. His
The total shooting percentage currently does not exceed 30%! It is only about 25% to 26%!
Worse than 35.6% of the original time and space!
This is normal. Tang Qian is in a "demigod" state and focuses on defense, which is different from the way Zhang Dashuai played in the original time and space. Even Chamberlain in the original time and space, his defensive state and rebounding state are not his career.
The strongest.
Therefore, in these aspects, Tang Qian is not only not weaker than Marshal Zhang from the original space and time this season, but he is even stronger because of his "demigod descending to earth"! In this way, Bill Russell plays more offensively than the original space and time.
No, this is completely reasonable.
"Don't even think about scoring goals so easily! The worst shooting percentage in the finals in history, your record is today, this year!"
"With me here! No one can easily put it into the Warriors' basket!"
Russell knew that this was not just trash talk, but also deliberately said to boost the team's morale. He immediately retorted: "Wilt, you are still so obsessed with data and personal performance. Do you think these things can give
Do you bring victory and the NBA championship trophy? NONONO~ You can’t bring this to yourself, let alone bring it to them!”
Russell said loudly: "Facing us in Boston, the only outcome for you is the difference between a good loss and a bad loss!"
"Because there will only be one winner, and that's us!!!"
This is very pretentious! However, you have to admit that he does have some bullshit!
Because so far, they have won 6 consecutive championships! They are heading towards their seventh NBA championship!
This foundation alone is really not something that ordinary teams possess, let alone the San Francisco Warriors.
So when facing Russell, most of the Warriors had no way to refute.
Only Tang Qian opened his mouth and denied it: "The NBA championship trophy is not called the Boston Celtics Cup. You have been holding it for so long, so it's time for someone else to take it. Let me tell you, God has already told me,
The one who can stop you from winning consecutive hegemonies and ending your dynasty is none other than me!"
Tang Qian's words are not a lie, because historically it was Chamberlain who destroyed the Celtics' dream of winning nine consecutive championships.
"Then give it a try, Wilt! It's the same sentence again! Only the winner has the right to say all this!"
"Don't worry, you don't need to tell me, I can do it too! Tonight, I must be the one to invite you!"
Boston sent a baseline ball in the frontcourt, but it didn't go in. The Warriors protected the backcourt rebounds and then organized the offense.
After Tang Qian held the ball inside to attract the defense, he passed the ball out. To be honest, this ball was really an opportunity, but our "blacksmith" Gale Rogers just missed the shot. The basketball hit the rim, high
It bounced high.
"Rebound!!!"
Alex Hannum shouted loudly off the court, although he knew that this was a bit overwhelming, but there is no one else who can break the game right now, right? Besides, there is no one in the entire league who dares to say that he has more rebounds than Russell.
Isn’t it just the 13th?
Regardless of whether he was bragging or not, no one but him would dare to say such things, and no one would believe him.
So his "Rebound" seems to be for the whole team, but in fact, it is for "Tang Qian" under the basket.
"Don't think about it! Wilt! Offensive rebounds will not let you succeed!" Russell was also decisive. He didn't even bother to look at the other Warriors players. He directly took advantage of the defensive side's innate advantage and got stuck in Tang Qian's ball.
In front of him, in terms of blocking skills and abilities, Russell is simply impeccable! Even if Tang Qian is now in a "demigod" state, he still thinks and feels this way.
There is not a single hole to exploit.
Therefore, if you want to get a rebound, there is only one way, and that is to "hard"!
Hard break!!!
Bang~
In the eyes of countless spectators at the scene, No. 13 of the San Francisco Warriors forcefully pushed forward, and his body collided directly with Bill Russell's body!
The two people immediately put on a high-quality show of fighting cards, with their steps, jabs, waists, and confrontation, as if there was some kind of aura that blocked all the participants who were not high enough. Just looking at it made people endure.
I couldn't help but feel frightened.
Tang Qianqian broke into "The.Zone" at the critical moment, but he didn't know that his opponent also entered in an instant. This kind of super confrontation can indeed easily arouse the competitiveness of the body and mind! Therefore, the state is also stronger than usual.
Easy to improve!
"Demigod coming down to earth" + "Backboard The.Zone" can't take any advantage??? This is the first time Tang Qian has encountered this kind of thing! So why is Bill Russell also said to be the "God of Backboards"? That's it
mean!
If Tang Qian, who is in normal condition, comes directly, he will probably be completely suppressed by Russell this season.
However, Tang Qian had an idea. When he touched the ball, he did not grab it back. Instead, he turned back and smashed the basketball towards Bill Russell. Russell had also touched the ball just now.
Unexpectedly, he was hit by a basketball, and then the ball bounced out of bounds. The referee signaled that Russell was out of bounds, and the Lakers sent a baseline ball in the frontcourt.
Russell lowered his eyes, looked at "Tang Qian" and said: "Wilt, I didn't expect you to have such a little trick. I saw it today. But don't think you can still succeed next time!"
Tsk~ This kind of ball only works if you have an idea. If you are prepared later, who would do it like this? Think of me as stupid.
The baseline ball was sent out, but the moment Tom Mecheri took the shot, he was violently slapped away by Green Army No. 6, and the basketball fell out of the baseline again.
"How about it? Wilt? Do you think I can't do it?" Russell blocked Mecheri but turned around to protest with "Tang Qian". This fully shows that in his eyes, there is no former at all, only the latter.
By.
He even feels that the latter represents the entire San Francisco Warriors.
Sure enough, it doesn't work. Compared with the Celtics, this team's competition experience is really far behind, and there is also an obvious firepower gap in the starting perimeter. Let them play like this... I guess the Warriors will kneel down in this game.
what should I do?
Seeing that there were only 4 seconds left in the attack time, Tang Qian looked at the basketball, Russell, and the backboard. Suddenly, a wonderful idea came to his mind!
This game must be won!
I must go back to San Francisco with a big score of 3-2!
