Center first

Chapter 264
Spoelstra and Doc Riversley are trying their best to use their heads, guessing the possible changes in the opponent's lineup. They want to get the upper hand in this kind of game as much as possible. The party that reacts is always the one that can take the initiative in the competition.

The two not only have to consider the control of the space under the basket, but also have to worry about the attack and defense of their own peripheral firepower. The two offensive points of Wade and Ray Allen have not yet fully fired, and the power of Paul Pierce has not yet been revealed. , these are all issues they have to consider.

It's just that Spoelstra now has an advantage. He used his own arrangement to force Doc Rivers to make a change first. Although he still doesn't know who is superior and who is inferior in the upcoming battle, he knows that Lin The wave of attacks just now has already made the Celtics feel the pressure.

In the rest areas on both sides of the American Airlines Arena, the big guys of the two teams and their own head coaches are making detailed arrangements for the changes after the timeout, while those outside the court are also making their own preparations for the game. analysis.

Those who regard these two teams as potential opponents have already activated their respective teams to analyze the changes in the situation on the field in the first few minutes, trying to find the flaws of these two future opponents.

Old Chuck's home, Oregon. . .

There is a large-screen TV set in the spacious living room, and old Chuck is now used to sitting in this spacious living room and judging with Lewis on Lin Yi's game day.It's just that the little girl Xin'er didn't come down from upstairs for a long time.

Usually this little girl is always the first to come to the living room and turn on the TV, but today it seems a bit unexpected, without the chattering little girl, it is always a little deserted.

However, this still failed to dampen the two old men's interest in watching the game, especially in the first few minutes of the confrontation, Lin Yi's attack momentum was very fierce, which made the two old men feel very excited, after all, they were the students they taught. One of their happiest students.

A first-year kid can play such a wonderful game, and the faces of Old Chuck and Lewis feel radiant, especially listening to the tsunami-like applause and shouts in the American Airlines Stadium.

The only difference from usual was that instead of red wine, there was a cup of hot coffee in front of the two elderly people, and Old Chuck was still covered with this thick blanket.

"Hey, old man Chuck, that little guy hit him aggressively today, as if something kicked him in the back of his ass, and I've rarely seen him hit so greedily in the first few minutes." Lewis sat Talk to old Chuck on the large sofa in the living room.

"He is forcing that guy Doc Rivers to make a change. That kid is very smart now, he knows what his opponent is planning, and his response is very correct." Old Chuck held a cup of hot water. While tasting the coffee, he talked.

"I think that guy Kevin will go to the basket to face him. Now the Celtics team can guard Lin Yi. He may be the only one left, unless that guy Doc Rivers doesn't want to Win this game." Lewis guessed based on his experience.

"That's what Lin Yi's plan is. He doesn't want those guys from the Celtics to stay, otherwise he won't take up [-]% of the Heat's shots. He's just forcing Garnett. Take the initiative to confront him." Old Chuck seriously exchanged opinions with Lewis.

"That kid is playing smarter and stronger now. He played very resolutely in the few attacks just now. Even that guy Hakim had never played so proactively in the first few years of his debut. , it seems that our apprentice is now mature enough to make people feel scary."

Lewis was very satisfied with Lin Yi's performance in those few minutes just now, especially when he judged this little guy from the perspective of a center forward, he felt that this kid was already a world of difference compared to his college days.

"You didn't see how direct the gesture of the guy from the Philippines is. Even Dwyane Wade would immediately put the ball inside after receiving the ball. He had made up his mind from the very beginning to let Lin Once you let go and attack, the only way to make Rivers' wishful thinking come to nothing."

Old Chuck paused and continued.

"Neither of them chose to let Garnett and Lin Yi directly collide at the first time. The guy Rivers wanted to see if he could hold Lin Yi for a while with Perkins, but he obviously miscalculated. It shows the strength comparison between the two people."

"The Filipino boy obviously wanted to follow Rivers' decision to play. He knew that Garnett had just recovered from his injury, and the opponent didn't dare to take too many risks, but this left him with a chance. He could let Lin Yi go first. , strive to take the initiative in the rhythm of the game."

"Although Haslem, like Perkins, can't prevent the opponent's attack, you have to be clear that Lin Yi is in form, while Garnett is recovering, and the physical strength between the two of them will be different. There's a slight gap, there's always going to be a difference in form and feel of the game between a guy who's been out for two months and a guy who's been playing back to back."

"Rivers didn't want Garnett to take the risk of getting injured, but now Lin Yi forced him to take the risk of using Garnett to defend the basket." Old Chuck had keenly felt the two Although he has not been a head coach for a long time, the sense of the game still exists.

"Kevin Garnett is not that easy to deal with. That Filipino kid really dares to bet." Lewis pouted. Although he was impeccable in training center forwards, when it came to tactics and on-the-spot command , he is not old Chuck's opponent, but it is too difficult to convince him.

Old Chuck doesn't care about the expression of this old guy. They have been friends for decades, and who doesn't know who. The two of them are bickering like a pair of old children now.

"It's not that the Filipino guy dared to bet, but our apprentice is too strong. Don't forget, our apprentice has already defeated Duncan. Garnett is just his next target. That kid has a strong desire to fight now. Die, but this is the apprentice I, Chuck Daly, taught me."

You can be beaten to death, but you must not be scared to death. This is the basketball will that old Chuck instilled in Lin Yi. No matter who the opponent is, the thing of cowarding before a fight is not old Chuck's style. What about Jordan?I will still drag you back to the ground from the air.

You can get rid of the gravity of the earth, but you can't get rid of the rope that binds your legs. Old Chuck's apprentice has always been a tough fighter full of iron and blood.

The two kept exchanging opinions on the game, and Old Chuck became more and more excited as he talked. Although the temperature in the room was not low, he still subconsciously tugged the blanket covering his body.

"Hey, old buddy, your health is really bad recently, I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup, if it weren't for your poor spirit, we would have been sitting in the American Airlines Arena to watch that kid play. , why bother to watch the TV here."

Lewis looked at old Chuck with a somewhat tired expression and said that he recently found that his old man's mental state was getting worse and worse, maybe because of the winter, maybe because he was too old, and he had begun to lose his spirit up.

"It's nothing, I'm old and my sleep quality is poor, so I seem a little tired, but as long as there are games, it's the best refreshing medicine. As long as I can watch exciting games, I will look very energetic." Old Chuck He grinned and said to Lewis.

"Don't worry, I just have a cold these few days, otherwise I wouldn't watch this game at home. I will definitely ask Pat, the old fox, to arrange the best box for me. Waiting for the playoffs, we two The old guy agreed, in the playoffs, go to the American Airlines Arena to cheer this kid up."

Old Chuck and Lewis agreed that there are still a few games left before he can watch his apprentice break into the playoffs again, and that will be the starting point of Lin Yi's road to glory, looking at the date on the wall Well, old Chuck already wants that day to come sooner now.

"You'd better ask that old boy Pat to prepare a good bottle of wine for me. Last time he drank all the bottle you treasured, I must ask him to pay for a bottle, or I will tell Lin It's a strike." Lewis still can't forget the old account that the bottle of fine wine was wiped out by Pat Riley.

"I still have a few bottles of good wine in my wine cellar, but they can only be taken out when that boy Lin Yi wins the championship. At that time, I will definitely treat you, old man, to drink enough, but Pat I don't intend to let that old boy go, let's squeeze this guy who uses our apprentices like livestock."

Old Chuck is very interested in exploiting Pat Riley's proposal now. If he can go to Miami to watch the playoffs, he must make that magic trick never work again.

It's just that even Lewis didn't notice that the frequency of old Chuck's hearty laughter has become less and less, and that strong body has gradually thinned out. Even the old Chuck's most proud, thick brown hair Hair started to thin out.

Only old Chuck knew what was wrong with him. He always had a small medicine bottle in his coat pocket, and he would often pour some white pills out of it and put them in his mouth when no one was looking. The smell seemed to remind him of something.

I hope God that old guy has left enough time for me, old Chuck murmured silently as he stared at the TV screen.

(Congratulations to the Nets for their ten-game losing streak. I bet more than one media is now saying that the Nets lack an inside pillar, because Haslem actually scored 28 points and 12 rebounds in the interior today. This will become what those people say The Nets are weak on the inside due to the lack of space YI, but they have lost ten games in a row. It seems that the Blue Nets are ready to pick the No. [-] pick...)
