NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade
Chapter 539: Old Nelson’s goal is the sea of stars!
Old Nelson has been waiting for a chance to say this for a long time.
Old Nelson sat back in his chair. He had wanted to talk about Stoudemire for a long time. This guy had a free throw rate of over 70%, but he almost never took mid-range shots. He didn't like shooting and just liked to rush into the inside.
What a waste!
What's the difference between this and asking a sharpshooter to not shoot but just use the butt of the gun to hit someone on the head?
Yes, it feels good and exciting to hit someone on the head with the butt of a gun. It’s okay to do it once in a while, but you can’t lose sight of the main goal!
Just as Nelson said, Stoudemire's impactful style of play is indeed gorgeous and beautiful, which can win him a large number of fans, but his style of play is indeed too monotonous and easily restricted by opponents.
Not only that, his style of play also makes him prone to injury, and for a guy with Stoudemire's physical fitness, an injury may cause him to lose all his explosive power and become a nobody.
Only by changing his playing style and increasing the proportion of shooting can Stoudemire become stronger and more difficult to stop, and at the same time he can have a longer sports career.
It's just that old Nelson came to the team too late, and he didn't like to let the players change their playing style to practice new tricks in the middle of the season, which could easily make the players confused and perform poorly.
Anyway, Stoudemire has only been in the league for three years. He had plenty of opportunities and time to improve and practice. He just wasted a few years of precious time.
Anyway, if you let Don Cheney appear in front of old Nelson now, old Nelson will definitely point at his nose and curse him.
He was a good seedling with natural talent, but this guy turned him into a stupid donkey, a tank who can only mindlessly attack the inside.
Throughout this season, old Nelson has been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the moment when Stoudemire is completely defeated and completely doubts himself, so that he can say those words to him.
Old Nelson knew that only by letting Stoudemire suffer enough losses and be fooled enough times would he realize how important shooting is and how important it is to practice shooting well and enrich his playing style.
The game in the fourth quarter was proceeding at a fast pace, and old Nelson really didn't want to let Stoudemire play!
Because Smith, who replaced Stoudemire, played very well. This guy, whose selling point was physical fitness like Stoudemire, was like he suddenly set up a scope in the fourth quarter, making consecutive hits including a 3-pointer and a long-range 2-pointer, which instantly brought out the Spurs' defense.
Thanks to his two goals, the Knicks' offense became easier, and Lin Tian and Anthony's breakthroughs also became easier accordingly.
Then Smith was silent for almost half a quarter. When the Celtics' defense once again wanted to let him go and began to shrink to block Lin Tian and others, Lin Tian once again gave the ball to the rookie.
Smith, who shot only 3% from 21-point range throughout the regular season, drew his bow again and shot a powerful 3-pointer.
"Shh!"
Another crisp sound was heard, and Smith made another 3-pointer!
In the fourth quarter of tonight's game, he has made 3 of 3 shots and scored 8 points!
And the methods he used were all mid-range and long-range shots, which he was not very good at!
As for why this guy is so accurate?
Lin Tian felt that, besides the fact that this guy had a really big heart, he also had a reckless temperament. No matter whether he could shoot or not, if you gave it to him, he would dare to shoot it!
Another reason is probably because the opposing head coach is Rivers, who activated Smith's hidden buff.
"I, Smith, must have a game in my life where I face Rivers and lead the team to a comeback!"
Especially since he is wearing a headband tonight, this hidden attribute is further activated.
After Smith scored 8 points in a row in the fourth quarter, the Celtics' defense finally dared not shrink anymore. They had already let go of 3 shots. If they let go of any more, it would be really stupid in terms of style and level.
He just has poor adaptability, but he has been coaching in the NBA for so many years and even won the best coach award. It is not enough to just rely on "Kang Mang is a dead dog, wood, wood, wood!"
Rivers still has the basic adaptability he should have.
But the consequences of widening the defense line and no longer shrinking the basket to double-team Lin Tian are also quite clear.
Marbury was beaten by Lin Tian!
When Smith hit that three-pointer, the Celtics were still leading by 3 points.
But after that, when the Celtics changed their defense, in less than 2 minutes, Lin Tian played one-on-one against Marbury 4 times in a row!
Among them, Lin Tian scored directly 3 times, narrowing the score difference from 7 points to 2 points!
The last time, Duncan couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed out of the inside and double-teamed Lin Tian near the free throw line. Then Lin Tian immediately made a low pass to Anthony who took the opportunity to cut to the basket.
Anthony once again challenged Howard with the ball.
After suffering a lot of setbacks tonight and being suppressed by the Celtics' iron-blooded defense many times, this time, Anthony finally got a chance to be proud!
He rushed forward with great force and great inertia. He used all his strength to pull up, put the ball behind his head with one hand, and smashed towards Howard with great ferocity.
"bump!"
The two people collided fiercely in the air, making a dull sound which was not loud but enough to calm people's hearts. This collision was just like a head-on collision between a running rhinoceros and a hippopotamus on high alert!
If an ordinary person were to be hit by this, his sternum would probably be broken!
In the first three quarters, most of Anthony's attempts to rush into the inside ended in failure, but this time, it was finally his turn!
He pushed Howard away, dodged his blocking arm, took the ball from behind his head with one hand, and then with a roar, slammed the ball into the basket!
"boom!"
Anthony completed a crazy dunk over Howard's head!
"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!"
After landing, Anthony stretched out his fingers and tapped his temple frantically!
At the same time, bursts of roars continued to come from his mouth.
Tied!
Lin Tian + Anthony, with their fierce and decisive style of play, finally got rid of the lagging situation that had plagued them for almost the entire game with 4 minutes left before the end of the game, and successfully tied the score difference!
"Look at Josh." Nelson came to Stoudemire again and said, "You can do it, too. No! You are better than him! I have only seen your shooting talent in one big man in the entire league."
"Dirk Nowitzki! I watched Dirk go from being an 8-point-per-game guy to an MVP-caliber player. I watched him become the best shooting big man in the league."
"I have never told you this, Amare, but now I have to say it: I think you can surpass Nowitzki even if we only compare shooting! Not to mention the physical qualities that he does not have and cannot obtain no matter how hard he practices."
"You know what I'm talking about, right?"
Having said that, old Nelson blinked, smiled, and picked up the tactical board.
Because Rivers on the opposing team requested a timeout to rearrange the tactics.
Just now, he was beaten so badly by Lin Tian and his men!
81: 81!
At 3 minutes and 57 seconds, the two sides were tied.
Next, it’s time for the final decisive battle!
"Will Nelson use Stoudemire? Or will he continue to use Smith, the team's surprise player in the fourth quarter?" Barkley was somewhat expectant and curious: "Logically, Stoudemire should be used at this time. But Stoudemire's condition tonight is really hard to describe!"
Kenny said: "If it were me, I wouldn't send Amare at this time. Facing the inside players of Duncan and Howard's level, he really can't rush in and find opportunities."
Barkley shook his head and said, "But if it were me, I would send him up! Even if he would be abused by the Celtics' twin towers, this kind of experience is necessary!"
"After all, if the Knicks advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, what will they do when facing the Detroit Pistons, who have better individual and team defense? Do they really expect Smith, who shot 3% from 20-point range in the regular season, to come out and save the world every game?"
“Amare has to get better!”
Between the two people's analysis and guessing, old Nelson gave the answer.
Xiao Si didn’t play!
One reason is that Smith played really well. He was like a god sent down from heaven tonight.
The second is that old Nelson is determined to give Stoudemire a good beating.
This summer, this guy must be forced to practice mid-range shooting!
In order to help Stoudemire improve, Nelson is even willing to pay the price of losing tonight or even not winning the championship this year!
Of course, it's not because Nelson cares so much about and thinks highly of Stoudemire, nor is it because he is so selfless. It's purely because Nelson knows that if Stoudemire, including Anthony and others, if these guys don't make progress and don't work hard to get stronger, even if the team can win the championship this year, it will not be able to win consecutive championships in the next few years!
An old-school coach like him knows better than anyone how difficult it is to win consecutive championships. He also knows that if you don't train your players while they are young, and wait until they have completely formed habits, become complacent and self-satisfied, it will be even more impossible to make them improve and become stronger. You must let them taste the pain and despair of failure before they are satisfied. You must let them know the taste of failure in advance, so that they will know how rare it is to win, and will continue to polish themselves in order to win continuously.
Finally, Nelson's ultimate goal?
Damn Bird and Carlisle, these two talents were able to lead Lin Tian to 7 championships in 6 years. If I lead the mature Lin Tian and fail to create a dynasty, and only win 1-2 championships, then old Nelson will have to have no face in the future and cannot afford to lose face like this man!
The reason why he didn't let the team practice defense this season and let the team attack wildly was because he was competing with Bird and Carlisle from a distance.
The idea of using offense to drive defense, having both offense and defense, and both offense and defense lineups are top-notch are all outdated.
I don’t use the methods you have used!
I'm going to take a path that no one has ever taken before, and I'm going to win the championship and create history in my own way!
This is the only way to show how awesome I am.
The brain of a mad scientist is crazy, arrogant and willful enough.
All I can say is that even the top geniuses have their own madness.
Some people: I don’t want a championship unless I’m FMVP!
Old Nelson: I don’t want a championship that’s not a dynasty!
In short, in Nelson's heart, if the team fails to win the championship this year, it is completely within his expectations and he can accept it. His goal is the next three years.
In the next three years, we want to win three consecutive championships!
As for three years later?
Let’s see whether Lin Tian leaves or not.
Of course, if the team still won the championship this year even though he deliberately exposed a flaw and did not strictly teach Stoudemire, Anthony and others, the team would have to do it reluctantly and win four consecutive championships.
The game continues!
Marbury received the team's sideline ball near the center line and began to organize the offense.
The more times like this, the slower and steadier the Celtics' offense would be. It took Marbury almost 10 seconds just to dribble the ball with a half turn at the top of the arc, and then it took him almost another 5 seconds to pass the ball after everyone was in position.
By the time Pierce got space on the wing and asked everyone to move away to challenge Anthony one-on-one, there were only 5 seconds left on the offensive clock.
Just these 5 seconds!
A guy like Pierce, who was more skilled at playing basketball at the age of 15 than most people are at the age of 51, knows exactly how to deal with a young man like Anthony.
Dribble leisurely, fake a move, and then make a fake shot before the shot clock runs out.
Sure enough, Anthony, who was anxious to make a contribution and hoped to defend against this attack, jumped up immediately.
Jump up and you lose!
"puff!"
Pierce bumped directly into Anthony, then raised his hand and threw the ball casually. He wanted the whistle for this ball, and he didn't care whether the ball went in or not.
"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded on time, giving Anthony a hand foul.
"FUXX!" After defending for 23 seconds, he made a mistake at the last moment. The failed defense in this situation would make people feel the most desperate and frustrated.
Anthony cursed out loud and held his head with both hands in annoyance.
Not only because he gave Pierce two free throws, but also because it was his fifth foul!
"Kid, try harder." Pierce showed his super annoying smile, tilted his mouth and head and said, "You are just a little bit away from defending me."
"Of course, this little bit may take you a lifetime to practice."
"Next round, play me one-on-one if you dare." At this time, Lin Tian of course wanted to stand up for his younger brother: "Let's see who is the one who is a little bit behind, and who has to practice for a lifetime."
"I can't beat you." Lin Tian didn't expect that Pierce was very single. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not your opponent, but I can beat this rookie! If you switch defense with him, Stephen can also beat him! He is a loophole. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see!"
"I'll let you know who the loophole is! You'd better hide in the bottom corner and don't move next round, otherwise, I guarantee I will score a 2+1 on you!" Lin Tian knew that the most taboo thing about Pierce's trash talk was that he argued with him about whether Anthony was a loophole or not.
There's no point in arguing about this.
The best way is to turn Pierce into a loophole, criticize him to death, and criticize him into garbage that is even worse than a loophole and a rookie.
In this way, he is not as good as Anthony. Why should a person who is not even as good as Anthony criticize Anthony?
The logic is quite smooth!
"Paul, free throws!" Pierce originally wanted to chat with Lin Tian for a few more words, but Duncan suddenly opened his mouth and signaled Pierce to go for the free throws.
"Let's see." Pierce glanced at Duncan, then snorted and decisively walked to the free throw line.
It turned out to be this treacherous but loyal guy who was causing trouble!
In this situation, how could Lin Tian not know what was going on? How could he not know why the Celtics' trash talk level and tolerance had increased so much?
Duncan, a guy who graduated in psychology, gave them a lesson!
Lin Tian could guess what the content of their courses was.
It must be something damn like 'Although you can't scold Lin, I have a way to make him unable to scold you either' or 'As long as we don't lose, Lin can't win', or 'A complete guide to dealing with trash talk'.
Anyway, from Marbury singing an ugly rap as soon as he heard Lin Tian talking, to Pierce only bullying Anthony but not talking much to Lin Tian, these things are definitely the product of "make-up lessons".
But he made the compensation, and they were on the same team, so Lin Tian couldn’t ask Duncan whether he charged any fee.
However, Lin Tian didn't take this matter to heart at all and didn't care at all.
Isn't it just that you are immune to my trash talk?
Then I won’t say anything.
Let’s have a pure basketball showdown to see who is more ruthless!
"Shh! Shh!"
With two crisp sounds, Pierce made both free throws and the Celtics took the lead again.
But this time the Celtics' defense immediately had problems. After they made the free throws, they didn't have time to press the Knicks' baseline, and the players forgot about it.
Okur quickly got the basketball and threw it to Lin Tian. After getting the ball, Lin Tian ran down the court quickly.
Along the way, he didn't care whether there were Celtics players following him or not, but just rushed towards the Celtics' basket!
Then, when Lin Tian reached the basket, three Celtics players had surrounded him.
If an ordinary player were trapped in a three-way double-team under the basket, he would definitely not know what to do.
But Lin Tian was very calm. Not only did he suddenly turn around and rush out of the encirclement again before the Celtics' defense completely surrounded him, but he also suddenly turned around and accelerated after running out of the encirclement, and rushed back to the basket!
This sudden counterattack in and out completely disrupted the Celtics' defense under the basket. Lin Tian did not try to play tricks on his opponent anymore, but seized the opportunity to jump directly, made a back-to-back layup, and easily scored 2 points.
Still split evenly!
"Hide in the corner!" After scoring the goal, Lin Tian immediately looked at Pierce who was defending Anthony in the corner and taunted him, "If you dare to leave that area, I will definitely shake you off so that you can't even find your way home!" (End of this chapter)
