Momentum is uncertain, confrontation first.
At the start of the game, the Suns played more like an Eastern team that broke out from the muscle jungle. They did not have the offense-oriented problems of traditional Western teams.
Instead, the Celtics prefer to make a fuss about offensive routines.
You can't blame them, because they are not qualified to fight defense.
The Suns are not a defensive team, they just have excellent defensive resources, so they can take effective countermeasures in the playoffs.
D'Antoni doesn't have many arrangements on the defensive end. The main one is to break the Celtics' offensive system with unlimited switches and force the Celtics to take the initiative to break the game.
On the offensive end, except for Milicic's low-post singles against Yao Yueban who was a bit tricky at the beginning, everything else was normal.
D'Antoni is definitely a believer in Louis' religion. Although he has never followed Louis, he has thoroughly absorbed two concepts that Louis promoted during his time with the Lakers-space and dislocation.
The space is naturally opened from the three-point line, and the dislocation is a weapon for the Suns to sweep the West. They have a Garnett who hits everyone who is misplaced, and Penny who hits 99% of the players who are misplaced.
Facing the Celtics, the Suns have more offensive routines and more names.
Yao Yue can't defend halfway, Deng Lewei can't defend explosive players, Lu Wuxia and Ginobili are both smart defensive players who can't do anything against talented attackers.
In other words, the Celtics have two players who can be named without distinction, and two players who can be named depending on the situation.
Ever since, Penny, Garnett, and Iguodala started a passionate roll call show.
Sometimes, their roll call is creating mismatches through off-ball screens.
D'Antoni has used this style of play very well.
With a start of 14 to 7, Louie requested a timeout.
Since he didn't sleep well last night, Louie thought a lot about the game.
He had already thought of the difficulties he might encounter in this game in advance, and he had also thought about the solution.
No insomnia for no reason.
Louis said: "Kyle, Wally, Andre, you replace Manu, Mike and Paul."
"You have all seen it. The Suns' strategy is obvious. The offensive end seizes our defensive weaknesses, and the defensive end is determined to switch defenses infinitely, and is very concerned about rebound protection. In this case, there is only one way for us to break the game."
Louie's countermeasures vividly explain what it means that no matter how many ways you come, I will only go one way.
Lu Wuxia holds the ball and shoots a three-pointer in the pick-and-roll;
Szczerbiak and Korver pick and roll three-pointers;
Kirilenko and Yao Yueban made a three-pointer from outside the pick-and-roll;
The ultimate play of the 5-Out lineup is to completely deviate from the concept of "the closer to the basket, the better to score" in traditional basketball. In order to play with the opponent's inside line, in order to expand the offensive firepower, space, and range, they will do everything they can to shoot three-pointers.
In front of the Celtics' five-out lineup with an average three-point shooting rate of 40%, the Suns were stunned.
Garnett, despite his godlike athletic ability, can only defend one point.
Milicic is a complete liability under this kind of offensive.
Penny and Hamilton were equally disoriented.
The Sun's excellent start performance was recovered by the Celtics with interest.
At the end of the first quarter, 37 to 28, the Celtics led the Suns by 9 points in the first quarter.
After watching this section, Tom Heinsohn said directly: "Boss Lu once again proved why he is the best head coach in history! The tactics and style of play he used tonight are ridiculous to some retired Hall of Fame coaches. Basketball is not played like this. You can't just rely on three-pointers to dominate the game...But, if you have four players with a three-point shooting rate of 40%, then basketball can really be played like this! The game is accelerating and evolving, it's amazing!"
The pick-and-roll offense makes way flawless and doesn't have to struggle to challenge Iguodala's defense.
No matter how good a defender is, a pick-and-roll will disappear.
Now it is the sun that needs to struggle.
Or, change someone to defend Lu Wuxia.
Because Iguodala is not in front of Lu Wuxia, there will be one less choice for his pick-and-roll initiation target.
After all, no one will use the pick and roll to deliberately find a more difficult opponent.
D'Antoni has his own thinking.
Iguodala is the most suitable person in the Suns to play against the flawless road. If Penny or Hamilton are allowed to defend, then it is not certain what he will be beaten by him.
Lu Wuxia may have to pick and roll against Iguodala, but if he fights Penny and Hamilton, he can do it casually.
Now, D'Antoni has two options.
One is to take the initiative to give variables-abandoning the defensive strategy of unlimited defenses, and actively flanking Lu Wuxia, making him force the ball, thus disrupting the Celtics' offensive rhythm.
The advantage of this is that Lu Wuxia is dissatisfied and will blow up the Sun's defense with one player, one ball, one pick-and-roll. The disadvantage is that if the double-team does not understand, it is very likely to kill himself.
If you want to double-team, you have to empty your opponent, and Kirilenko, the most worthy of emptying on the Celtics field, shot 36% from the outside.
D'Antoni is a stubborn person, and he doesn't like to change the layout a lot before the game.
He prefers a softer strategy than this two-level reversal variation.
Five-out lineup + unlimited pick-and-roll roll call, the Celtics make it, but the Suns can't make it?
Your flawless draft template is still Penny, and Penny is much more mature than you in playing this game.
D'Antoni chose the easiest path.
That is to copy the Celtics' style of play.
The Suns only played one ball like this.
After Penny called the fifth position to pick and roll and failed to score two points, Louis directly directed on the spot, called Kirilenko to his side, quickly explained the countermeasures, and then asked him to communicate to other players on the field.
The Celtics did what D'Antoni had been reluctant to do for a long time-to pinch and stop the unscrupulous behavior of the ball handler calling the pick-and-roll military training big man.
D'Antoni worried about the Celtics' deadly outside shots. Louie didn't.
The Suns' shooters are not in the same class as the Celtics.
Milicic's three-point shooting rate is only 33%, Garnett is better at 37%, Pence and Hamilton both have 39%, but Iguodala's hips are stretched, only 30%.
Although they are all above 30%, if there is a difference of one percentage point, Louie will have more confidence in calling the players to double-team. Even if the Suns really grasp the open three-pointer, it does not matter, because continuous oppressive flanking is an unbearable heavy burden for the ball holder.
Stephen Curry, who is as strong as the number one core in the small ball era, can hardly maintain a high level for a long time under the brainless double-team tactics. How long can the old penny last?
Sometimes in a game, one decision, a moment of hesitation, can determine the outcome of the game.
D'Antoni's stubbornness and fear of the Celtics' outside shots made him, like a traditional conservative, afraid to try bold strategies.
Louis, who should be more afforded to lose than him, stands out as a man who dares to bet and believes in the players.
On the defensive end, Pence was pinched. Although Pence could assist his teammates to hit an open three-pointer by splitting the ball, his own performance under double-teaming was not stable. Although the Celtics' defensive rotation was not fast, it ensured that the offensive end could kill Hamilton and Garnett without getting too many open spaces.
Iguodala and Milicic, who have a relatively low three-point grasp, missed a lot of opportunities, allowing the Celtics to score many easy defensive counterattacks.
Entering the second half, D'Antoni did not adjust in time. Although Hamilton and Garnett had good shooting and singles efficiency in the stalemate, the Celtics, who shot nearly 50% of the three-pointers in the fourth quarter, still firmly held the lead.
In the end, 124 to 117, biting the score tightly, and even the Suns who hit the fairy ball at the last minute lost the first game by 7 points.
"This is a very close game, but if Mike D'Antoni can't speed up his on-the-spot reaction, the Suns will lose more games." Charles Barkley didn't know whether he wanted to blow Louis or was anxious for the Suns. "I don't think there is any gap between the players on both sides. The biggest gap in this game is the head coaches of both sides!"
