After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 124 Key Attack and Defense
According to the existing rules of the NBA, it is stipulated that in the last 2 minutes of the game, fouls must not be committed against off-ball players on the offensive side.

This is because around the turn of the millennium, Shaquille O'Neal's powerful destructive power in the penalty area made the head coach headed by Don Nelson and Gregg Popovich put players who might not have had the chance to play at this critical moment. fringe role.

Their task is also very simple, that is to come up to foul and send O'Neal to the free throw line.

This is called the "shark hacking tactic", and later the main centers such as Ben Wallace and Dwight Howard, who were also bad at free throws, also suffered from it.

That's why the league will impose restrictions. After all, this tactic itself is quite irritating, and it will also affect the smoothness of the game.

Just like canceling the handcheck, it is beneficial to the offensive side, and it is also to make the game better.

How about saying that O'Neal is great, because the NBA has introduced a three-second defensive rule, because he has opened up the zone defense, or because of him, the league has set up a reasonable collision zone, all of which are aimed at reducing O'Neal's lethality.

However, restricting the shark-cutting tactics is beneficial to O'Neal and his team, and it is also because it meets commercial needs.

The same is true for Howard now. Van Gundy is defending against some special situations. For example, if the defense becomes an offense, the opponent fouls immediately after he gets the rebound. With Howard's state today, it is likely to directly affect the game. win or lose.

This may also be seen as a kind of protection for the core of the team, otherwise the mentality of the happy beast will collapse.

Although it was a pity for the Green Army that Howard was replaced, they are all seasoned veterans after all, so they would not be disturbed by this trivial matter.

In the first round of offense, Perkins gave Ray Allen a single block and ran out of space. Ray Allen didn't shoot, but took a step around the screen and broke through the line.

Ray Allen has superb shooting skills, but he is not a pure shooter, just because in such a multi-core team, everyone performs their duties and does what they are best at, and they have to sacrifice a little bit of penalty kicks to achieve harmony Cooperation.

The same is true of the Celtics' rapid record this season. If it is said that just thinking about piling up stars can be useful, then the previous Lakers "F4" is a lesson from the past.

Li Chengming immediately stepped up to delay, and at the same time, Bogans, who bypassed the screen, immediately went to defend Garnett, who was facing him.

Lei Allen faced Li Chengming but did not advance but retreated, and directly pulled to the outside line. Li Chengming did not dare not follow, otherwise he might make a move at any time.

Ray Allen didn't rush to shoot, but waited until Garnett got stuck and asked for the ball, and lobbed the ball.

Facing Bogans, Garnett's side is a misplacement, and Lewis on the other side dare not easily help defend, otherwise Garnett can pass the ball to Perkins is also a chance.

After all, he is not Howard, and it is impossible to defend back and forth and catch up.

Although not Howard avoided a hidden danger, the weakening of the defensive end is also real, so whether this adjustment is good or bad depends on the result of the game.

At this time, Ray Allen and Pierce pulled away again, creating a one-on-one chance for Garnett.

Li Chengming looked back twice, intending to double-team, but Lei Allen didn't dare to let go, and was very entangled in going back and forth for a while.

In the end, he could only sit back and watch Garnett turn around and hit a jumper. Bogans stopped in time and had rich experience, but he didn't cause a foul.

The Green Army went ahead by one point!
There are more than 40 seconds left in the time, which is enough for the two teams to attack for a complete round, but the advantage has come to the Green Army, and the Magic must score in their next attack, whether it is fast or slow, and there is no retreat can go.

Van Gundy did not call a timeout, but chose to trust the players at this time.

If you don't believe it, there is no way. The defense is not doing well, but this is the offensive lineup. If the offense is still not playing well, then the real adjustment has failed.

Moreover, it is still necessary to hold the timeout in the hand for a while at the critical moment, after all, it is only a one-point difference. If the attack does not score later, it is more appropriate to readjust according to the situation.

Then according to the original arrangement, this ball was naturally received by Li Chengming in the low post, and it was Perkins who defended him.

Although Perkins' top defense ability is better, compared to Garnett, Li Chengming is still more willing to single out this fat man.

Without him, although Garnett can't stand up to Li Chengming, he can harass him and make him uncomfortable. Li Chengming can only use his strength to fight hard, because this is his biggest advantage when facing Garnett.

On the contrary, when facing Perkins, Li Chengming can play tricks and show off his footsteps. Perkins didn't keep up for a while, and he turned around and slipped away to the basket. Garnett saw the timing and came up. Assisted defense, but did not expect his teammates to be passed so cleanly, it was still a step too late.

"Li Chengming made a layup, and Garnett came to help defend—caused Garnett's foul, the ball went in after two turns, 2+1!"

Director Sun's voice was a little excited, and he unconsciously entered the perspective of a Magic fan.

Director Zhang also laughed and said: "Li Chengming played the ball beautifully, and Perkins can't keep up with him at all! Facing different defensive players, he can play in different ways, and he is not as strong as he is taller than him. His strength can withstand him but can't keep up with his footsteps. In the low post, Li Chengming has very comprehensive skills. No matter who the opponent is, he is just playing with him!

"Let's watch the ball back and forth. In fact, Lewis had a chance next to him. Li Chengming didn't play so well, but if he can score, it's a good ball..."

Garnett's face sank like water, and his eyes were already burning.

Li Chengming didn't care about his distressed expression, nor did he pay attention to the interference and boos of the home fans. After walking to the free throw line, he steadily scored the extra penalty and helped the team lead by 2 points.

This attack took only 15 seconds, and the Celtics could have a complete offensive round, but even if they ran out of time, they could still give the Magic a chance to attack, so the pressure suddenly came to Boston.

"CELTICS! GO!!"

Everyone in the North Shore Garden Arena stood up, whether it was Boston fans, or some fans who came to watch the Magic, or other fans who had nothing to do with themselves but came to watch the game, they all became worried at this time .

This is the charm of competitive sports. At this time, it not only tests the psychological quality of the players on the field, but also tortures the audience on the sidelines.

And the NBA also understands the effect of the program very well. The referee's control of the field is not only about the penalty, but also such small details, such as a little delay when getting the ball, plus the timeout of the two teams, it may have been just one or two rounds. The game can be extended to two or three minutes abruptly like this.

The Celtics had the last timeout left, and Rivers used it without hesitation.

In the last 27 seconds, Pierce came out to catch the ball, and then dribbled the ball at the top of the arc to press the time.

As the leader of the Magic, just before the timeout, Van Gundy told them not to make easy fouls, and at the same time be careful not to let the opponents have a chance to make easy shots from outside the three-point line. Even if the opponent can score, they will tie with them. Next, they There is still a chance for a lore, and even if it is not good, it can enter overtime.

Because it was a defensive round, there was still a timeout to adjust later, so Van Gundy let Howard return to the court at this time and replaced Li Chengming.

At 10 seconds, Garnettla came out to pick and roll Pierce and stood in the paint. Pierce faced Lewis with a strong step, and then clung to Lewis and went to the basket.

Howard immediately came to help defend, Pierce did not force a shot in the face of the two men's siege, and was assigned to Ray Allen, who was running under the cover of Posey in the right corner.

Allen catches the ball and glances at his feet not stepping on the line, and then directly shoots a three-pointer——
