Chapter 102 messing with their brains
When you encounter an offensive team, the worse situation is that you cannot curb the opponent's attack, but the worst situation must be when you unfortunately hit the opponent and feel the hottest.
When playing against Old Nelson's team, you should never expect to completely curb his attack. The best way is not to make them feel comfortable from the beginning.[]
Just like when Popovich cleans up old Nelson, he will firmly control the situation from the beginning of the game.
Instead of competing with the opponent to score, they dragged the opponent and slowed down with themselves and started fighting a positional battle.
If you play with a running and bomb team, you are just looking for death. No one can save you.
When encountering a crazy team like the Golden State Warriors, Popovich's solution is nothing more than a dead end.
It is to use tough defense to wipe out the opponent's offensive momentum, and then slowly torture the opponent to death. Even Popovich, a dead tough guy, knows that he cannot compete with Old Nelson's team.
Even if you hold a trump card combination like Duncan, Ginobili and Parker in your hands, you can't fight against a group of bloodthirsty madmen.
Otherwise, you will die very ugly. Only by destroying the offensive rhythm and making the opponent's offense extremely uncomfortable can you take the initiative and then take away the victory.
It was Popovich who won the old Nelson with such tactical arrangements several times.
Let the game enter the opponent's rhythm, which is definitely the worst thing, especially when their hands can burn people to death, do not provoke the opponent easily.
Even when Popovich meets the crazy old Nelson, he will temporarily avoid the other party's sharp edges.
What's more, Rivers, a guy who has just entered the industry for a few years, really fights firepower with these Golden State madmen, the Celtics will definitely die, and the facts prove this.
Rivers' tactical arrangement in the opening stage was actually the kind of path that Popovich was good at, but he still ignored one thing, he was far from as experienced as Popovich.
Especially in the control of the opening stage, Rivers made a mistake. He did not use oppressive man-to-peer like he did when dealing with the Suns, but instead used regional defense.
Build the defensive system into the kind of pattern he is used to, but Rivers forgot that he is facing a group of unreasonable madmen. Those guys are crazy and don’t leave you any chance.
I originally wanted to play steadily, but Old Nelson's team will come up and give you a storm.
The opponent's crazy attack at the beginning of the game has suppressed the Celtics' home momentum to a close, and even the shouts of fans at the scene have been pressed to the lowest point.
The DJ on the scene also lost the cheerful tone of the opening. Boston fans were originally looking forward to continuing their winning streak at their doorstep, but before they could start cheering for the team.
He was beaten by a group of bandits from Auckland City. Before he could even fight back, he was stunned by his opponent's unreasonable playing style, and the score was even more behind.
The three-pointer, swish, swish, and two-pointer, swish, and this deadly sound was simply a magical sound.
I usually hear myself and others, but this time I feel the pain of being scored by others.
Fierce, fast and accurate, the old Nelson instilled in the Golden State gangs with such tactical concepts.
After the opening, the Golden State Warriors' firepower points were blooming everywhere, and the Celtics had a blank look on their faces, and they could not find who they should defend.
No matter who it is, as long as there is a chance to have a free space, the Warriors can shoot at will.
For example, the Suns have at least one or two main attack points, including Nash on the outside, Marion and Stoudemire on the inside. Whether inside or outside, you can always find someone you want to defend.
Nash also often takes care of the number of shots from Stoudemire and Marion. Although the Suns' offensive firepower is terrifying, they can finally find an opportunity to match.
But there is no such dispute on the Golden State Warriors at all, everyone can take action, and Byron Davis, under the guidance of Old Nelson, has begun to try to allocate the ball.
Although this guy has played a lot of singles, compared with his time with the Hornets, the old queen bee's selflessness has made significant progress.
Especially in the first three minutes of this game, Davis took only once in the first few shots of the Golden State Gang, but he accurately provided three assists on the outside.
Every time, he accurately found his teammate who had already run out of the open space, including Barnes' three-pointer, and Davis even crossed the defense of the two people and threw the ball out in time.
"When did that bearded man become so smart?" Rivers watched Davis send beautiful passes in front of Rondo again and again, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Needless to say, Byron Davis' personal abilities are first-class in the NBA, and they are also good at defense. They have to give an a+ in overall abilities.
But this guy is sometimes prone to getting hot-headed. He had quarreled with the management more than once. With such a hot temper, it is difficult for ordinary people to control such a bad boy in Los Angeles. You know, this guy was originally in Los Angeles, and he was known as the Godfather of basketball in Los Angeles.
Having such a nickname not only means that Davis has strong personal abilities, but also has a very fierce temper. Ordinary people can't handle such a thorny head.
Just like Rivers often has a headache about how to use Chen Feng, most coaches can only comfort Davis when they meet, otherwise, this guy is really awesome.
Especially when on the court, Davis has a strong personal awareness. Although he is not a fight for the right to take action, he is sometimes too used to controlling the game, and in his own way.
This made many people think that this guy is a bit selfish. Although he has a lot of assists, his overly self-centered style makes many people think that this guy is not the kind of very reliable point guard.
At least in controlling the team, he and Nash are two types of people. The latter can sacrifice his own score for the team, but Davis rarely does this.
He will let his style affect the team's offensive rhythm and even the way others take action. This strong sense of aggression is difficult for ordinary coaches to control.
Including Montgomery, who had already left, kept complaining that the other party could not understand his tactical arrangements while getting along with Davis, and was a little on his own.
It is estimated that the guy left in the end because Mulin found out that he could not control the core of the team at all.
But who is Old Nelson? That old guy not only holds the signature of coach Qiansheng, but also an old slip-on who can control bad boys. He understands how to use Davis's good card.
But as soon as he debuted today, Rondo was originally arranged by Rivers to specifically target Davis, but the other party rarely did not take the initiative to fight Rondo, who was thinner than himself.
In the opening stage, he used his strong physique to withstand Rondo's interference and then sent out accurate assists continuously, which surprised Rivers and caught Rondo off guard on defense.
I originally wanted to stumble on Davis, but Rondo only realized that it was a bit difficult. Not only did he lose his physique to the other party, Davis didn't seem to have planned to eat it alone.
A group of madmen is already terrifying enough. With a brain with accurate calculations, this combination is really hard to deal with, which makes Rivers keep scratching his head on the sidelines.
"Damn, why did he meet such a difficult opponent just after returning to home!" Rivers muttered, but his mind was working very quickly.
Less than five minutes into the opening game, he had already called for a timeout, but 100 seconds could not make the opponent's hot feel cool.
After the reopening, the Celtics' offensive firepower increased, but they were still at a disadvantage in the face of the unreasonable projection of the Golden State Warriors.
The same is true for the score. From the beginning to the end of the first quarter, the gap did not narrow.
36:26, the Golden State Warriors relied on their own offensive firepower to suppress the Celtics for the whole quarter.
The 10-point gap in a quarter may not indicate that the result of this game is like this, but Rivers can smell a sense of uneasiness from the atmosphere on the scene.
From the Hornets at home to the Suns, the Celtics have never been suppressed so fiercely even when facing opponents with sharp offenses.
Moreover, I have been chasing points throughout the whole quarter, but I have never brought the distance closer, which has never happened in previous games.
Even the guy Thibodeau, who often expressionless, frowned when he was whispering to Rivers. It can be seen that he, the coach in charge of defense, is also very troubled now.
The opponent's offensive firepower is so intense that it is exciting. The defensive system built by Thibaudor for the team was unstoppable under Davis' threading and was beaten a little unshakable.
This made Thibodeau, who had always thought the team's defensive skills were still good, with a little hot face, but Rivers could not say anything.
Because Rivers understands that when you encounter a crazy opponent, you really have no good way to curb it.
Unless the opponent's shooting percentage can be reduced, you cannot make the defense comprehensive.
Facing the Golden State gang, you really can't defend, how to defend? The animals shot five three-pointers in the first quarter, three of which were directly shot at a distance of more than one step from the three-point line. It's no wonder that Chen Feng jumped up and said that the opponent was cheating. After receiving the pass, the animals not only had more than one step from the three-point line, but also directly pulled hard shots.
Just a shot that made no sense to talk about, he came into the basket with a hollow.
How can you defend this? Unless the Celtics find a cover to seal the basket, there is no way out. How do those bandits make a shot?
"We must mess up the rhythm of those guys, and we cannot let Davis continue to pass the ball unscrupulously on the outside. If we want to find a way to mess up his mind, he will be so calm, and we will have great trouble." After a short rest period after the first quarter, Rivers was thinking about how to turn the tables.
Just as he said, the Golden State Warriors are in a hot state now. Unless the rhythm of these guys is messed up, especially that guy Davis, he can't let him continue to play like this.
Having such a strong madman leading the team to attack on the court will only make the bandits even more crazy.
Especially Davis's inspiration on the court always makes his team full of passion and passion. Because of this guy's hot performance, the entire team has also driven.
If you want to reverse this situation, you must curb Davis, but now it seems that Rondo is a little troubled to complete this task.
"Or why should I try it?" When Rivers was having a headache to curb Davis's madness, an extremely fierce voice rang in his ears.
Rivers was already too familiar with this voice. The wild boy who had been holding it in for almost a quarter was finally a little unable to stand it anymore.
When the opponent becomes more and more crazy, Chen Feng's wildness from his bones is easily aroused, especially when Chen Feng saw Davis' arrogant style on the court.
It made his hands feel like an unstoppable force was surging, as if he was fighting with people on the street.
Sitting on the sidelines for a whole quarter, just watching the opponent rage on the court was enough to make Chen Feng depressed. However, Rivers had to let Chen Feng wait on the bench for a while, and this was also to punish Chen Feng. He had to make this kid always cause trouble recently, especially on the court, he was always willing to tease the opponent and fight against him.
But now this kid has taken the initiative to ask for battle. The desire to fight revealed in his eyes is very strong, and the opponent's attack is becoming more and more fierce at this moment, Rivers is a little shaken.
"I can't calm down, but I have many ways to drive crazy, Boss, I heard you and Tom just now, that big beard is very difficult, but I like to touch such a difficult guy."
If Chen Feng grinned his teeth, even Longduo could feel what tricks this bad guy was holding back.
"Okay, let you play, replace Al, and let him take a break, but as you said, playing is to make the opponent crazy, not to make you crazy. If you cause trouble on the court like you did in the last game, I will definitely hold you on the bench for a week!" Rivers thought about it over and over again, and finally gritted his teeth and said fiercely at Chen Feng.
Now I can only see if this kid can bring some vitality to the team's defense and offense.
But he had to agree to him in advance that if he caused trouble, he would get out immediately. Rivers didn't want to see two groups of bandits playing a big fire in the North Shore Garden Arena.
"No problem, boss, please look." Chen Feng's look of ready-to-hand, in the eyes of other teammates, means that someone is in trouble again.
Could it be the Godfather of basketball in Los Angeles? I know, but what is certain is that it may be a bit difficult for the Golden State Warriors to continue to be so crazy.
If the wild boy is on, can he make others even wilder? That is absolutely impossible...
