The Whip of the God of Basketball

?Pj-Brown’s dismissal made the Celtics’ stable advantage begin to loosen up. George Karl has been in the league since the 1980s. The old coach of the Celtics suffered a small trick. Although Anthony Mason is the Bucks' starting lineup, he is 36 years old, his body and abilities are not as good as before, and his effect on the team is far less than that of Pj-Brown in his prime.

And Brown is a center, the only reliable inside line for the Celtics so far. Mason is a forward. Without the Mason Bucks, there are Kukoc on the bench, Tim Thomas, and Caffee. All of them are tall and strong strikers. This is also what George Carr has taught over the years-he likes to pile up highly mobile and versatile strikers.

Although this accumulation in the Bucks is far less successful than in the Supersonics, as far as this game is concerned, the Bucks have taken the initiative on the scene through a small trick. At this time Leon had to replace Dalemport, let the young Haitian replace Brown guarding the team's inside.

With Ray Allen hitting a free throw, the point difference between the two sides was reduced to 6 points. Fortunately, there was not much time left in the second quarter, leaving not much time for the Bucks to counterattack. Paul Pierce still stood up at the critical moment. After Allen made a free throw, he suddenly started to dribble from the backcourt to the inside of the Bucks, taking advantage of his lack of preparation to face Tim Thomas and Caffee. The double defense forced a layup, causing a foul by Tim Thomas and going to the free throw line.

George Karl saw the foul, scratching his head and shouting at the referee angrily. In his opinion, Pierce, this cunning guy, cheated another foul. Pierce made two free throws and the point difference between the two sides changed back to eight points. At this time, there were 17 seconds left before the end of the first half.

"Full-court defense! Pay attention to confrontation and scale, don't foul. Don't give your opponents an open chance!" Leon, who rarely leads on the sidelines, also began to roar this time. He knew that he must strive to score about 10 points in the first half. The lead, once caught up to 5 or 6 points. Then the form will be different, and the pressure on the team at the beginning of the second half will become great. So this time the defense must guard the opponent.

Reid's offense in the second quarter has been much better. He scored 7 points in a single quarter, but the opposite Ray Allen has scored 21 points and 21 points in the half. His hand feels hot, but Leon is still not ready to use other players to help Reed play against Allen. Double folder. Double-teaming is a big gain and a big risk. Facing the Bucks, each of the five players on the field has the ability to shoot. It is also a liberal offensive style team led by George Karl, and easy double-teaming will bring a painful price.

But one-on-one does not seem to be a particularly good solution.

Sam Cassell quickly dribbled the ball through halftime and Arenas led the game. Cassell is an uncompromising ball ruffian. Although his body is thin, he does a good job of dribbling and protecting the ball. He half-back facing Arenas without giving him a chance to steal, while looking up at his teammates. The running position and the Celtics' defensive position are ready to make the final blow.

Reid was entangled with Ray Allen near the bottom line at this time. Obviously Ray Allen was going to make a run around the big circle, and Reid was sticking around Ray Allen like a brown candy. It is to prepare "Where do you go, where do I go, when you go to the cape, I will accompany you to the end of the world".

"Fool, what's the use of entanglement in this place?" Leon looked anxious on the sidelines. Reid seemed to stick tightly, but it was useless at all, because Ray Allen’s position was very deep, he flashed near the bottom line, all the other Celtics players basically turned their backs to him, while the Bucks players were right. Face him. This means that the Bucks players can step forward to cover Ray Allen at any time, and the Celtics players may not be able to take care of Ray Allen. At this time, no matter how tight Reed is, he will Out of position. Or simply foul.

The correct approach is to keep a certain distance from Ray Allen and watch other Bucks players. Judging the route of Ray Allen's position through their running requires the defender to have very rich field experience and extremely high tactical quality. And even with these two points, it is very likely that they will not be able to keep up with the opponent's running in the ever-changing stadium.

Sure enough, after Kassel took off from the three-point line for almost 10 seconds, Ray Allen suddenly started. Instead of taking the bottom line, he passed through the middle! Squeezing through Dalembert and Walker, under the cover of Tim Thomas, broke through the obstacles and ran to the right 45 degrees. Reid, who was close to Ray Allen, couldn't even make a run. He couldn't catch up, and no one came to defend. The whole team watched Ray Allen run to the 45-degree three-point line to connect to the card. Searle's pass, take-off, three-pointer!

A beautiful sharp sword came out of its sheath. Ray Allen’s shot was like a swordsman drawing a sword, swiftly and violently, and completed the attack at the moment of drawing the sword. The ball flew in the air, as if it was piercing the tip of an enemy's sword.

"Nice shot, *going in..." Leon looked at this jumper posture, he knew that the ball was going in, the rhythm was too good, the shot was too comfortable, it was strange not to make it. Leon rarely speaks dirty words, but this time he couldn't help but curse in his heart. Without pj-Brown, there would be no real defensive person in the team. In the past half-season, although the Celtics have won most of them and ranked in the forefront of the East, they have always relied on the team’s strong offensive power, and they have no match on defense. , Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. The evil old Dick Hart began to doubt his abilities.

Leon knows that the fundamental reason is that these players are too inexperienced. The defense is more dependent on experience than the offense. In many cases, he does not blame the players for making such mistakes.

However, with Ray Allen's hollow three-pointer into the net, Leon was still unable to restrain his inner frustration and anger at the players' defensive performance. He asked the referee for a long timeout when the players answered that the bench was ready to sit. With a sip of water, Leon waved his tactical board and said to them in a low voice: "Stand up from the stool, do you think the first half is over?" At this time, only the end of the first half is left. 0.6 seconds, the referee returned to the watch after watching the video and left a little time for the Celtics.

Walker, Pierce, and Arenas, who had just sat down and picked up the water, all bounced off the stool as if their **** were electrocuted. Dalembert and Reed were standing next to Leon, and Leon let five Individuals come around, he needs 0.6 seconds to design an offensive tactic for the players.

0.6 seconds is the moment of flashing, from the moment the ball is served to when the player touches the ball, the player must throw the ball as soon as it touches the ball, otherwise it will be too late. At this time the difference between the two sides is 5 points, the Celtics still maintain the lead, but the momentum seems to have shifted to the Bucks, which is why Leon must call a timeout, he doesn't want to look at the players They hung their heads and threw the ball on the court, then went back to the locker room, and he had to try it even for 0.6 seconds.

Leon wants to design a tactic of empty inside, which is a tactical method with a relatively high success rate in 0.6 seconds. The players pulled away, and a guy with a good bounce sneaked into the inside line by relying on the screen, and after the outside line conducted the ball, he directly relayed in the air. The difficulty lies in how to distract the opponent's inside defender, and cover up the intention of empty contact.

While Leon was setting up, Reid suddenly said: "Let me shoot three pointers, I can shoot three pointers."

The players who had been listening carefully to Leon's tactics all focused on Reid. They didn't know what this guy meant, including Leon. Switching to another coach may ignore Reed and continue to arrange tactics, or simply press Reed to the bench to calm down.

But Leon did not. He looked at Reid and said, "Tell me what you think, and give you five seconds."

"I recently practiced a quick shot technique, taught by Sigma, and Arenas and I have practiced it together, and it worked." Reid answered Leon's question in five seconds.

Leon thought for a while, handed the tactical board to Reid, and said, "I will hand it over to you, complete this tactic."

Reid was stunned, and the others were also stunned. How can a coach let the players arrange their own tactics? But time didn't wait for anyone, Reid didn't think much about it, and started to set up the tactical board. In fact, his tactics were simple and terribly simple. Everyone pulled away. He stood at a 45-degree angle on the right and shot after receiving a pass from Arenas.

"It's that simple?" Leon asked.

"It's that simple, but I have to put me in, I think I can throw in." Reid said, the ghost knows what he has practiced in the past two days. Leon turned his head and looked at Siegfried. The old man scratched his head. He didn't seem to expect that Reid would put the things he usually practiced in the game on the court.

But I have to try it anyway. The timeout has come. In the first half of 0.6 seconds, the Celtics' last attack, a seemingly unimportant random attack, may affect the trend of the second half.

Leon watched Reid step onto the court, not knowing what this guy had practiced secretly in the past two days. He didn't even let him know, so he dared to use it in the game. But he also felt happily that Reid began to show a sense of confidence ~ www.readwn.com ~ can be seen from the daring to take over the tactical board drawing tactics.

The referee gave the ball to Arenas on the sideline and blew a whistle in the final 0.6 seconds. Reid was standing at a 45-degree angle, with no cover, no running, he just stood there.

At this time Leon found that Arenas' ball hadn't come out yet, and Reid had already started to jump! He jumped directly into the air and made a shooting posture with both hands, but there was no ball in his hands! Defending him Ray Allen was a little dazed. He didn't know how Reid jumped up like this. His attention was still on Arenas who served the ball.

When Reid was about to jump to the highest point, Arenas passed the ball and he threw the ball directly into Reid's hand. When Reid reached the highest point, the ball happened to be in his hand. Reed made a shot in the air and pushed the ball out!

The ball traversed a straight arc in the air and went straight to the basket. Leon looked at the ball and thought to himself: "A beautiful shot, *will also be scored."

"Huh!" The ball hit the basket, the red light turned on, and at the end of the first half, Reid made an incredible three-pointer, which once again opened the gap between the two sides to 8 points! (To be continued.)
