Chapter 875
What is "Ice Cream Zone"?The so-called "ice cream zone" is the "floor trap".

That is to say, in these specific areas and corners, if you dribble, the basketball will not rebound well, or even not bounce at all.And this is also the usual method of the Celtics before the 21st century.It ran through their entire "eight consecutive hegemony" era to the "Bird era".This "victory trick" created by "Cardinal" Auerbach has been criticized by people.

However, the Green Army itself never tires of it.

And this "ice cream zone" is still not fixed, which means that if you remember the location of this game, it may not be the same for the next game.Why?Because the floor of the NBA game is re-spliced ​​piece by piece before the game, if you go to the scene to watch the game, and go earlier, you can see the scene of the staff installing the home game floor.

After all, the gymnasium is not a gymnasium for the basketball team alone, and there are other activities that are usually done.

Therefore, NBA game venues and training venues have always been separated. Take the Los Angeles Lakers as an example. Their home game is the Staples Center, but the training venue is the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo (not The Toyota Center of the Rockets, there are two more words).Boston, of course, is the same.

In this way, it can be explained why every game in "Ice Cream Zone" is different.

Because many parts of the floor can be combined and spliced, as long as you have the heart, you can definitely have a variety of tricks.

In order to ensure the Celtics' legendary record and absolute victory, "Cardinal" Auerbach often arranges these small tricks in the home courts of these important games. "Floor trap" is just one of them.He just called the staff for the second "little trick", "basket trap".Taking advantage of the intermission, you can use various reasons to check the basket or simply change the net to do some "hands and feet".For example, the tightness of the basket, the left and right inclination angle of the basket and so on.The difference in elasticity will cause many balls that could have been ejected into the basket to collapse directly, and then the low rebounds will decrease and the long rebounds will increase.The left and right tilt angles of the basket are different, and the same is true. Not to mention the reduction in shooting percentage, it also has a certain impact on the rebound of rebounds.

And that's not all... The camera turns to the direction of the visiting team's locker room in Boston Garden Plaza, and you will find that it is different from before.If it was said that the air conditioner was not given to you at all before, then tonight it is - suddenly the air conditioner is adjusted to the coldest for you.

Let your previous warm-up be regarded as a waste, and it will take a little time to restore the best game state.

It seems nonsensical, but they are all real things, things that countless people complained about in those days, and now Tang Qian has finally experienced it himself.This is really fucking cold! ! !Suddenly, profuse sweat came in, and I couldn't bear it after staying for a long time! ! !
In fact, not to mention the age when this system was not yet standardized, this kind of thing often happens in the 21st century.

For example, the Spurs are one of the "gimmicks".

The famous air-conditioning failure incident that year directly made James so hot that his physical fitness was quickly overdrawn, and then he developed cramps.

Not only that, Yuanshikong also had a case of poisonous snakes appearing in the locker room of the visiting team, which scared many people in the Trail Blazers out of their wits.Of course, the Spurs claimed afterwards that it was an "accident", not a human factor.

Do you think this is weird enough?No, no, there is something even more bizarre. In 2009 and 2011, the Kings visited the home court of the Spurs twice, and there were... bats in the arena! ! !Yes, you read that right, it's a bat! ! !

In addition, there were flies flying around in the visiting team's locker room, and there was no hot water in the visiting team's locker room.

"Cardinal" is the respectful name of Bostonians, but Auerbach has another not-so-nice name outside, and his name is "Red Head".It has the same meaning as the famous American insulting word "red neck".

Substitute player George Lee couldn't help but sneezed and said, "These damned Bostonians, the air conditioning is too high."

"This is their usual method." Warriors head coach Alex Hunnam said: "Every time it comes to a key game, they will do this to maximize the possibility of victory. I have seen a lot of them in the finals that year. .”

"This is too much! What if your body is cold and you get injured later?" Nate Thurmond complained loudly, but in exchange for a sentence from Alex Hunnam: "No one Caring about the loser, winning only has the right to appeal and someone is willing to listen.”

"Then let us be the winners." Tang Qian stood up from his seat and said, "This kind of trick won't hinder us."

"On the basketball court, the real king would not want to do this."

"But, Wilt, do you really think we can win? Boston has always been a big winner in the league." Gary Hill, a rookie who also joined the Warriors this year, asked a little uncertainly.Tang Qian looked at him, then looked at the Warriors players in the entire locker room and said: "In a word, if you win, you will have money, if you lose, you will have nothing."

"Gary, will you have trouble with money?" Tang Qian asked.

Hearing the word "money", Gary Hilton swept away his previous uncertainty and replied loudly: "Of course not! Whoever robs me of money is my biggest enemy! I don't want to knock out his teeth." Ghost!"

"What about you? Will you have trouble with money?" Tang Qian nodded, then asked the rest of the people.

The answer I got was naturally similar to Gary Hill's before.

"Well, I will say the same thing." Tang Qian said: "If you want money, kill your opponent and destroy Boston!"

But it turns out that Tang Qian and the others still underestimated the "Boston" people, because as soon as the third quarter came up, the opponents began to take advantage.And it is the kind of "sudden" advantage.It was as if in an instant, the San Francisco Warriors couldn't play anymore, and various mistakes emerged one after another.

For example, several consecutive dribble errors, being directly intercepted by the opponent for a fast break, is extremely weird, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit abnormal.Even if they were players in the 60s, they were still professional players. How could they make consecutive dribble mistakes?

Or was it an inexplicable mistake?
Even with the strict palm-down rule, it would not be able to be transported into this egg shape.

Besides, Guy Rogers was also the assist leader last season. Although his offense is not good, his organization and dribbling are still very good. At least, he rarely sees such continuous mistakes.There is basically no need to doubt the question of basic skills.

Guy Rogers himself was also full of doubts and frustration. He didn't know why he suddenly lost his sense of the ball, no matter how he dribbled, he didn't feel as relaxed as before.The reason, of course, is not on him. This is what "Cardinal" Auerbach called the "ice cream trap".In a few fixed areas on the court, dribbling?There will be almost 100% mistakes!
Don't talk about Guy Rogers, even if Jerry West and Elgin Baylor come, that's the same.

There will be no miracles.

The consecutive turnovers were easily scored by the opponent. This had a major impact on the morale of the San Francisco Warriors.In addition, during the intermission, the air-conditioning in the locker room was excessively affected, and now the Warriors are starting to play a bit out of order.

It's okay to play amateur games without rules, but to play professional basketball?Without rules, it is tantamount to courting death.

He will be beaten up by others who have a method.

Before halftime, it was still 6 points, but in less than 5 minutes, it had become 16 points!This change in points difference made it difficult for Tang Qian to accept for a while.Of course, this kind of problem will occur, and it is not just as simple as a "floor trap".

The San Francisco Warriors' shooting percentage suddenly fell off a cliff, which is also a key factor.

It's as if the basket suddenly shrank, and even if he hits a layup, his shooting percentage drops sharply!
There must be ghosts! ! !
After Alex Hunnam called a timeout, Tang Qian came down and smashed a bottle of sports drink annoyedly, and couldn't help but said, "Why? Why did it suddenly become like this? Huh? ??" No one spoke, because everyone could see how much San Francisco No. 13 wanted to win in tonight's game, otherwise, would a fool give out such a big "private bonus"?
It's not that they didn't try their best, and they also wanted to get the money, but the dreamlike first half of the third quarter gave all the Warriors players a chill.Looking at the score, they couldn't help being discouraged.

"Wilt, the Bostonians have used a bad move." At this moment, Alex Hunnam stood up and said: "That's a 'floor trap' they never admit. And in my opinion, the basket , They also tampered with them during the halftime break." "What?" Tang Qian turned around in shock, and it was a little difficult for him to accept Alex Hunnam's words.

"This is the NBA Finals, how dare they?"

"Why don't they dare?" Alex Hunnam said: "When I was coaching St. Louis, I encountered a similar situation. In the 1957 NBA Finals, our team fought Boston until the seventh game , On Saturday afternoon, the NBA broadcast live on national television for the first time, and under the eyes of countless viewers, they dared to play tricks, let alone now?"

In 1957, it was Boston's first championship, and the opponent was the St. Louis Hawks coached by Alex Hunnam.In Game 2, Boston beat the Hawks 125-123 in two overtimes.That game is said to be believed by later generations to have many doubts.Including Alex Hunnam himself, they all believed that the Celtics used some "outside the game" means to gain "extra chances" for the Celtics.

Of course, in the second year, after he became a full-time head coach, he finally led the Eagles to avenge their shame, especially Bob Pettit's 6 points in a single game in G50 like a "flying fairy"!Directly defeated the Celtics!This is also a perfect example of individual ability defeating a team in NBA history!
So Alex Hunnam is very qualified to say these words.

"Isn't there any reaction from the Alliance?" Tang Qian asked angrily when he heard the news.

"First, there is not enough evidence. Second, that old guy Auerbach has great influence in the league. He can even sometimes influence certain decisions and decisions of the league. Third, not every game they They all do this, and overall, the sample size is still very small. Fourth, other teams may not be able to do this kind of thing with a cheeky face.”

"Then, how do I do it? Are they just going to play tricks like this?" Tang Qian shouted angrily.

"Now that the game is going on, you have no other choice but to defeat them head-on." Alex Hannam said.

"How to defeat them head-on? They are so shameless!!!"

Alex Hunnam looked at No. 13 of the team, and suddenly said slowly: "Your question, Bob also asked it in the 1958 Finals. My answer is still the same, or the team explodes and the collective wins." , or..."

"Either what?" Tang Qian asked.

"Either the individual explodes, the gods come down to earth, defeat the opponent, and take away the game."

……

Yes, complaining, it is useless now, if you want to win, you can only stand up and explode.

In 1958, Bob Pettit’s choice was the latter, the gods descended to earth, G6 scored 50 points, took away the game, and won the first NBA championship for the Eagles. An NBA championship.

OK, now it's time for Tang Qian to choose this question.

How would he choose?of course……

After Tang Qian returned to the court, he began to grab the rhythm of rebounding with all his strength. If he got an offensive rebound, then he would definitely explode without saying a word.Rage against people!
Unknowingly, his rebound also stepped into "The.Zone".

However, Russell did not show any weakness, and immediately entered the "Defense and Rebound The.Zone" state after a few rounds. Seeing this, he also wanted San Francisco No. 13 to be able to do whatever he wanted inside the Celtics.However, he obviously underestimated "Tang Qian"'s belief in winning this game.

Even if he was pushed and elbowed by several people in the interior, he completely ignored it. That kind of concentration was at least the first time Bill Russell saw it in the eyes of the former.No "Wilt Chamberlain" before, Russell would bet, had never had this kind of concentration.

Under all kinds of pressure, Tang Qian actually improved again. He entered the full "The.Zone". Maybe he still played very hard, but he didn't have any destructive power in front of Bill Russell.

But the Green Army also has its own beliefs. They are getting bigger and bigger for Tang Qian's "little moves". It is ridiculous that the referees on the sidelines turn a blind eye.Some defensive moves, Alex Hunnam on the sidelines couldn't help but yelled on the sidelines.

All for victory?Maybe it's not wrong, but it doesn't mean I agree!

Tang Qian is also eager to win, but not in such a way.

What he wants is to be upright and upright, not this kind of "grey nature" victory mode.

You can think that this is his understanding of the so-called victory.

Paranoia about so-called victory.

But this didn't make the Celtics slack off. Instead, it attracted more brutal small moves and super-scale defense from the Bostonians.When Tang Qian struggled to grab an offensive rebound and was about to take off for a dunk, he was blocked by Tom Heinsohn, No. 15 of the Celtics, and hit the back of his head with an elbow. In an instant, he I was so dazed that I almost passed out.

No matter how strong a person is, it is unbearable to be knocked on the back of the head like this. How come the referee hasn't punished Heinsohn for a defensive foul?This caused Tang Qian to be recorded as a mistake for nothing, and almost fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want alone. This is Boston, this is the Celtics, and this is the Garden Arena, a place where you will never be able to achieve the ultimate victory! Got it? Mr. Stilts?" It was blatant arrogance , naked arrogance, obviously used foul moves, but also showed his toughness.

This is what the Green Army of this era does. Anyway, in Auerbach's words, if you win, you can say anything.

If you win, everything is right.

Tang Qian lay on the ground for a few seconds, then he refused his teammates to pull him up, and slowly stood up on his knees, saying: "You 'green hat', if you do it unintentionally, you still pull it like this on purpose ? Do you really think... labor and management won't be angry?"

"Do you really think that these tricks will allow you to win without any suspense?"

Tang Qian suddenly stared at Tom Heinsohn, who was much shorter than him, and said, "I will teach you to be a man with your cuckold family tonight!"

"You wait for me!!!"
