everything we know and should know
Passing the ball to Hamilton shows that Garnett has not lost his mind. He is sober and said that he will die flawlessly, but he did not say how he wants to die. As long as he has the right to define death, he will die no matter what.
So Louis called Yao Yueban, ready to let him replace Gasol.
This shows that the Celtics still have to use the single insider model, Mike Dunleavy is still at the fourth position, and Garnett's matchup advantage is still there.
One minute later, Yao Yueban came on the court. At that time, the Celtics led by 1 points.
Then, there were some changes in the Suns' defense against Lu Wuxia.
The Suns suddenly adopted ICE defense (by pinching the ball handler/calling the pick-and-roll ball handler to the sideline), which is because Yao Yueban's support is not as good as Gasol.
If Lu Wuxia gave the ball to Yao Yueban, the tactics might be interrupted.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Lu Wuxia didn't think too much, and directly rushed to the basket, forcing a foul by the Suns.
This gave Louis time to react.
Louis went not far away and gestured to Yao Yueban who was about to serve the sideline.
Afterwards, Yao Yueban conveyed Louis' instructions to Lu Wuxia.
The Celtics successfully sent a sideline kick.
Lu Wuxia dribbled the ball outside the three-point line on the right, and the Suns' defense moved quietly. They were ready for another ICE defense. Not only that, they had a tight blockade on the sidewalk breakthrough. For one-on-ones that happened on the sideline and at a 45-degree angle, the Suns would mobilize nearby personnel to attack.
However, this strategy cannot last long because it targets insiders who are completely incapable of coping.
Although Yao Yueban's support was not as good as Gasol's, it would be wrong to say that he had no support at all.
After receiving Louis' instruction, Yao Yueban became sharp-eyed and quick-handed.
Lu Wuxia was once again forced to the sideline by ICE's defense, but soon, he returned the ball to Yao Yueban under high pressure.
At this time, Garnett had already arrived in front of Yao Yueban, and Milicic, who had flanked Lu Wuxia, also returned to the basket as quickly as possible, while Yao Yueban chose the simplest short-range hand-off to help his teammates pick and roll.
Ginobili got the ball and made two consecutive false attack tendencies.The first time was to pretend to use Yao Yueban's hand-to-hand pass to cover and break through. The second time was to make a sudden stop and change speed to break through to the other side.Yao Yueban, after completing the hand-off pick-and-roll, used Ginobili to pull left and right to confuse the opponent's neutral position, then turned around and went straight to the basket.
Ginobili doesn't need much skill, just a comfortable lob and everything will be fine.
Yao Yueban got the ball, faced Milicic who had returned to the basket, couldn't help shouting, swallowed the opponent directly, and scored a goal over the opponent's head with his height.
With this goal scored, the point difference returned to 10 points.
D'Antoni glanced at Louis. He thought he had caught the Celtics replacing Gasol. He didn't expect Louis' reaction to be faster. The Suns couldn't defend in one round, and there would be no second round.
Things are getting worse.
Not only was the Suns trailing by 10 points, but the Celtics' offensive firepower was gradually diluted by Lu Wuxia.
However, regardless of whether Lu Wuxia's offensive intentions are true or not, as long as he has the ball, the Suns will treat him with great care.
This is the prestige he established by naming Garnett again and again.
Everyone can stand out on the court.
An insider, as long as he scores consecutive singles, he can attract double-teams; a shooter, as long as his shooting percentage is above the average level, he will not get open easily; a core, as long as his level is recognized, he will meet the most difficult defense in the game.
It is not difficult to make the opponent aware of your threat, the difficulty is how to use your own threat to do more things.
Louis didn't know if he needed to remind Wuxia.
Because at this moment, Wuxia is more focused, conscious, self-disciplined, hardworking, and unremitting than he imagined.
Before, he was the most shining light in the game. Now, he is still dazzling, but he is not blocked by his own light.
When he frequently held the ball to challenge ICE's defense and passed the ball to Yao Yueban to let him continue playing according to the coaching staff's intention, Louis knew that his son did not need any reminders.
He grew up watching the most correct basketball game, and he knew what to do.
The Celtics scored easily, and the Suns relied on Penny's singles to score another goal.
Invisibly, the gap between the two sides has emerged.
The Suns basically lost their own tactical rhythm and relied on star singles for scoring.
But the Celtics' offense has become unpredictable.
In one of the rounds, there were two breakthrough points alone, and the end was Ginobili's second breakthrough with the ball.
Ginobili hits the ground with a masterful hand and the ball is given to Kirilenko.
Kirilenko attacked the basket with the ball, but before making the shot, he stuffed it to Yao Yueban who was under the basket.
In the 22nd second of the offensive round, Yao Yueban caught the ball and dunked.
This is the standard TSOM attack (20 seconds or longer), the second stage of the Celtics' offensive system, and Yao Yueban's favorite offensive method.
Since this system needs to be played slowly, it is not so suitable for Lu Wuxia who loves to push the rhythm, but he has never been a problem for the system.
Especially tonight.
Penny Hardaway didn't see any similarities with Lu Wuxia tonight. Although they are both two-meter point guards, Lu Wuxia is different from him.
Lu Wuxia is scary when he is holding the ball, but it seems even more terrifying when he is not holding the ball.
That's a quality that Pence doesn't have, he's a player who needs the ball in his hands to get the most out of him.
But Lu Wuxia was not.
He doesn't even need the ball.
It's just that the stop was just running back and forth in a local position, and the Suns were disturbed like a frightened bird.
Tired of hearing the "someone younger than you" cliché, Pence doesn't think there are more than five youngsters in the league who are better than him.However, Lu Wuxia deeply made him feel the benefits of being young.
Because he is young, he can run tirelessly.
Because he is young, he can do what he wants to do self-righteously.
In the second half of the third quarter, Lu Wuxia only took 3 shots and scored 5 points.
One of the goals was a three-pointer in the backcourt before the end of the third quarter.
When Lu Wuxia missed the backcourt three-pointer, ABC's Mike Breen said in horror: "Wish's shot brought the Celtics' shooting percentage down to 80% in the third quarter."
In the fourth quarter, Louis did not make any fuss about the lineup.
Maintained the closing lineup of the third quarter, replaced Kirilenko and Dunleavy, and replaced Gasol and Szczerbiak.
Louis clearly felt that the team's state was reaching its peak, and what he had to do now was to send out the five-member team with the most tacit understanding and let them continue to play like that.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Suns, already trailing by as many as 23 points, had no choice. Their offensive tendencies were concentrated on the outside.
Only when the three-pointer feels explosive can there be a chance to reverse the 23-point difference in a single quarter.
It is undeniable that the sun's offensive firepower is indeed sufficient.
Penny came up with an emergency stop three-pointer after calling the pick-and-roll, then Hamilton's cut-out three-pointer and Garnett's pick-and-roll three-pointer.
Scoring 2 points in less than 9 minutes is extremely fierce firepower. However, the premise of chasing points is to score yourself and suppress the opponent's score at the same time, or let the opponent get fewer points than yourself.
The Suns scored 3 points in 9 rounds, which is already the theoretical highest score without scoring [-] points.
However, the Celtics responded with two three-pointers and a 2+1, also 9 points.
And, it still looks effortless, like the third quarter.
"Wish brought the Celtics down to 80 percent shooting" is the scariest commentary D'Antoni has ever heard in his basketball career.
Reality is often more fantasy than drama, but the performance of the Celtics is already a fantasy that various Hollywood screenwriters cannot explain.
Lu Wuxia almost beat Garnett by name, then Louis changed back to Yao Yueban, and then the Celtics were invincible?
Halfway through the fourth quarter, Louie sat down.
At that time, the point difference reached 30 points.
The suspense is gone.
For some reason, Louis suddenly wanted to smoke a cigar, but he didn't bring it today.
Moreover, the finals are not over yet. If you smoke a cigar now, it is easy to irritate your opponent and cause trouble.
Is there any difference between this Celtics team and the perfect chemistry that Louie has seen?
No, not much different.
Louis thought of a lot of teams that had performed like this on the same stage. However, this period of time was like a long river in his mind, and countless memories blurred the specific picture. Everything he experienced suddenly lost its name and history, and only the great performance of the team in front of him remained.
How many years have passed, the people are not those people, but the game is still the same game, elegant, beautiful, spectacular, anyone who likes basketball can't help calling Louie, eager to say the same thing that Billy Knight said to Stu Inman.
Where is Louis?What would he say after witnessing countless great games?
"Sooner or later, this team will disband, but don't be sad, even after 30 years, your memory will still be as fresh as yesterday. You can also say to those who haven't seen this game, the great game is like this. Passing, running, shooting, these are the simplest and most difficult things in basketball. The team that can do this all over the court is the best team."
"Here's everything we know, and should know."
Louis told reporters after the game.
⑴After Wharton switched to the Clippers that year, the 77 Trail Blazers collapsed instantly. Billy Knight called the founder of the 77 Trail Blazers Stu Inman ⑵ and asked: "Is there any way to maintain a perfect team? Will there be such a perfect team?"
([-]) Some book friends may have forgotten that this Inman is the general manager who begged Knight to choose Jordan, even if he let Jordan play center.
