"Who is better, Tracy McGrady, who just turned 20, + Ben Wallace, who is 25, or David Robinson, the 34-year-old admiral, + Avery Johnson, the 34-year-old junior general?"

"According to the statistics, McGrady averaged 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block in this year's playoffs! Ben Wallace: 5 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 2 blocks!"

"David Robinson: 16.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.5 blocks, Avery Johnson: 13 points, 2.5 rebounds, 8 assists, and 1.5 steals!"

"In the upcoming finals, do you believe in the battle-hardened David Robinson, Avery Johnson, or the young McGrady and Ben Wallace?"

Even a young commentator can see this clearly, and it is impossible for the Celtics coaching staff not to understand it!

In the competition with past opponents, the Celtics' inside line has an absolute advantage on both offense and defense!

Han Yi's unparalleled impact and the iron wall forged by Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman made all the previous playoff opponents helpless.

Even without mentioning this season, even facing the Bulls led by Michael Jordan, the champion of last season, the Celtics did lose in the end, but Han Yi exploded the Bulls' championship inside combination again and again, and finally Dennis Rodman was exploded to choose to surrender to the enemy, just ask you if it's miserable!

The Spurs are obviously an exception. If it is one-on-one, whether facing Duncan or Robinson, Han Yi can have an absolute advantage.

But when the two of them cooperate with each other, Han Yi will inevitably lose one while taking care of the other, especially when Robinson, who is always criticized for his soft style of play, meets Tim Duncan, whose inside skills are all MAX, as long as Robinson is willing to play as an auxiliary, the Spurs' inside line is extremely strong.

"The key to winning this series is how much help our other inside players can provide to Han Yi!" Rick Pidino drew on the tactical board:

"We can take the playoffs between the Spurs and the Lakers as a reference. From the data, O'Neal did lose to Duncan, but the reason why O'Neal was restricted to such an extent is that the Spurs not only have Duncan, but also David Robinson and Will Perdue!"

"In the round-robin battle, the Spurs have a rich reserve of inside players with both talent and physical strength to fight O'Neal, and this time , this defensive resource that swept O'Neal will be aimed at our core, the rest of you must work harder! "

"In order to free Han Yi to the greatest extent, I decided to let Ben handle Duncan! Ben will be responsible for defending Duncan, while Han Yi's main task is to deal with David Robinson!"

"But——"

Ben Wallace's head was buzzing, and he muttered in his heart: "Does the coach think too highly of me? Defend Duncan? He actually asked me to defend Duncan?" But of course he couldn't say no, this year is Ben's contract year.

For Ben Wallace, he had played perfectly for the entire season, and he just needed to do this last bit of work. He had to do it no matter what: "Okay, coach, I'll take care of Duncan!"

"Of course," Rick Pidino looked at Ben with a somewhat reluctant expression and added: "I said I'll let you play defense, but I won't leave Duncan to you alone. Duncan is a monster of the same level as Han Yi, and you can't defend him alone. The key to defending Duncan is the timing of shrinking the defense and the intensity of the double-team!"

"Duncan can pass some good balls, but he is still not a good passer. We have to use our strength The double-team made Duncan hesitate. If you want to double-team, double-team decisively. If you want to foul, you must give me the most fierce foul. Don't give him the opportunity to play 2+1. Duncan's hands are really good! "

"Not only Duncan, the Spurs also have a group of shooting masters on the outside, which is also a lot of pressure on us. Since the Spurs have two big men with broad bodies, their pick-and-roll offense is also their main offensive method. "

Facing the pick-and-roll, you must take the initiative to squeeze through the screen, and don't be easily blocked by the screen. I have been watching you off the court. Whether you are trying to squeeze through the screen, I can see it in my eyes. If you don't work hard, don't blame me for putting you on the bench."

"Again, if you want to foul, slap the ball hard, or even push the opponent down directly. I will never allow useless people to touch it lightly. This is absolutely not allowed!"

"Coach, what about the offensive tactics? "Han Yi couldn't help but interrupt. He couldn't understand why Rick PidinoAs a professional offensive coach, why do you talk about defense in the playoffs? Isn't it unemployed for our assistant coach in charge of defense if you talk about defense here?

"Offensive tactics? It's not important!" Rick Pidino waved his hand: "On the offensive end, we just trust Han Yi. As long as we trust Han Yi, we won't have any problems on the offensive end."

After saying this, Rick Pidino even gave Han Yi a wink in a flattering way, which was really a bit disgusting.

Han Yi was a little confused: "It turns out that Pidino in college was not like this..."

But for Pidino, his current change feels natural. In college, the coach is the sky, and in the NBA, the superstar is the sky, and it's all right to lick him!

On June 16, 1999, this year's NBA Finals started almost ten days later than in the past.

There is still some time before the game starts, but the Boston Celtics' home court is already packed with fans.

The last time the Celtics made it to the finals was 12 years ago, and they lost that round of the finals, and they lost to their old rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers. How could this not make old fans hate them to death?

If this year's opponent can be the Lakers, it would be perfect. More than one Celtics fan thinks so, because old fans hope that this new Celtics can avenge them 12 years ago.

And the new Celtics fans actually think so too: "It would be great if we could play against the Lakers. Although O'Neal is powerful, our Han Yi can easily control it every time. If we play against the Spurs, the outcome is really hard to guess!"

"CCTV, CCTV, today I, Zhang Weiping, and Coach Zhang will broadcast the 1998-1999 NBA Finals for you!"

"The two teams are the Boston Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs!"
