Chapter 682 682. Dead Enemy
There is something called team culture in the NBA.
Like a deadly enemy.
This kind of thing is hard to understand.
Paul Pierce has been a Lakers fan since he was a child, but he is indeed the player who has dealt the most severe blow to the Lakers so far in the 21st century. He hindered the birth of Kobe's second dynasty, and brought the Celtics to live Kobe's second dynasty into "Kobe's second dynasty" "District" two consecutive championships.
After Paul Pierce entered the Celtics, he was deeply influenced by the Celtics team culture and became the soul of the Celtics. Another Hall of Fame player of the Celtics, he will definitely return to the Celtics in the future. North Shore Garden Stadium retired jersey.
So even though the current Celtics players have been changed wave after wave, the players who played against the Lakers in the finals five years ago have all been replaced by the coaching staff, and one is gone.
However, every time they meet the Lakers, the Celtics players will unconsciously enter the identity of the biggest enemy in the history of basketball, just like whoever loses the Lakers can't lose the Celtics, the Celtics also Whoever loses can't lose to the Lakers!
Although the Lakers sent a terrifying 13-man lineup when they beat them, the Celtics players still recovered their high morale after complaining!
The Lakers started LaVine, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, Whiteside.
LaVine's strength is very good. Changing teams is definitely used as a core training, but it is still a bit reluctant to start with the Lakers. After all, his potential has not been fully developed. He is only in the second grade. He is not as good as Clarkson, who is famous for his immediate combat power. .
But Clarkson is better than LaVine on the bench. The Lakers are not bad at starting. The ball and the pick-and-roll are really bad, and Clarkson's going to the second team can make the second team's scoring ability better.
The Celtics started Dragic, Avery Bradley, Ivan Turner, Jared Sullinger, Olynyk.
The Celtics' lineup is not bad. Compared with the Lakers, they are a little bit less star-like, or they don't have the momentum of a star at all, but these players are absolutely practical.
In terms of the depth of the lineup, the Celtics are not bad at all. The Nets brought back by trading Pierce and Garnett a few years ago until the 2018 draft or the first round of exchange rights have played continuously in the Nets in recent years. After the worst record in the league, it finally began to bring benefits to the Celtics. The Celtics are also pragmatic and do not engage in those falsehoods. To trade immediate combat power is to rise rapidly and rely on the depth of the lineup to attract superstars to join.
It's just that because of the trade of Pierce and Garnett, superstars are afraid to go to them, but there is still a first-class player who eats crabs first, and he is Goran Dragic.
After Dragic joined, he strengthened the most lacking organizer of the Celtics. The Celtics relied on Dragic and Ivan Turner, who was still not worth the second pick but at least played at a quasi-first-class level. They set sail together to lead the Celtics, and are now competing with the 76ers for the fifth place in the Eastern Conference to enter the playoffs.
As for why they don't strive for a higher ranking... Who let them be in the Atlantic Division? The Eagles, which are of ordinary playoff strength, just lie down and occupy the fourth place in the Eastern Conference as the top player in the Southeast Division.
In fact, there is a bug in the ranking system of the league. If there is a year when the strength of the league becomes extremely extreme, and there is a division in the East or West that doesn’t even have a team in the top eight, the first place in their division must still be ranked fourth. ?
It's not impossible for this to happen, it just hasn't happened yet.
The players of the Lakers and the Celtics do not communicate with each other. Before many games, the players of the two teams will happily say hello to the opponents they haven’t seen for a long time. After all, information exchange is convenient these days, and many players who are not on the same team The relationship can also be very good, especially those who were selected in the same year, such as Liu Ren and Klay Thompson, Irving, Jimmy Butler, Leonard...etc. The relationship between them is so harmonious and friendly.
This situation first started with the players in the 2003 class. The Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust were famous in the world back then. Wade almost caused all the superstars in the 03 class to suffer from syphilis...
However, when the Lakers played against the Celtics, there was no harmonious and friendly atmosphere at all. Both teams wanted to kill each other alive!
The atmosphere at Staples Center was also low, with every Celtics player booing every time he came on the court.
In this atmosphere full of hatred, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and Whiteside won the jump ball without any suspense.
LaVine dribbled the ball to Liu Ren, Liu Ren was double-teamed and gave the ball to Kobe. Kobe quickly changed direction a few times, which made Avery Bradley at a loss. Kobe chose to play without the ball. A strong breakthrough, which is completely out of the Celtics' pre-match arrangement. They let Avery Brad defend Kobe to prevent Kobe from running, and use Avery Bradley's speed to deal with Kobe.
I didn't expect Kobe to use his footsteps to make a strong breakthrough. Kobe's experience is too good. To be honest, he doesn't know how many times better to use his own strength than Liu Ren. Otherwise, he couldn't be 38 years old and still play the performance of the league's first-line players. This is 20 years old. Over the years of professional career, the accumulated experience cannot be taught even by teaching. Only by feeling yourself and accumulating this experience,
Kobe's unexpected attack completely took advantage of Avery Bradley's shortcoming of being short in height and weight. inside line.
Liu Ren knew that D'Antoni's tactic was that Kobe would go to the Celtics first to play against the Celtics, and bring out Kobe's scoring ability with sufficient physical strength, because now he doesn't need to deliberately let him find his form, so he resumed the All-Star The style the Lakers have been using before the weekend.
But Ren Liu felt like hell, this Avery Bradley was sucked dry by a club girl in LA last night?Being easily beaten by such an old man?
Kobe broke into the inside, and the Celtics' inside was chaotic. Kobe passed the ball in the gap and then ran back to Green who made an air cut. Green cut in with one hand and scored the ball.
Coach Stevens said that he was slapped in the face. Before the game, he kept emphasizing the need to guard against Kobe's running and catching the ball. He couldn't let Kobe play without the ball and attract double-teams. Who knew that the Lakers directly let him play with the ball. , And this 38-year-old veteran unexpectedly broke into Avery Bradley, the best defensive shooting guard in the East, so easily.
Of course, as a coach, Coach Stevens naturally knows Kobe's strengths, but many young players of the Celtics are as surprised as Liu Ren. Get rid of Avery Bradley Lang!As teammates, Celtics players know how strong Avery Bradley's defense is!
It's the Celtics' turn to attack.
Dragic passed the ball to Ivan Turner, Liu Ren marked the opponent's arrow Dragic today, Ivan Turner handed it over to LaVine to defend, and Kobe was responsible for defending against Avery Brown, who has the same scoring ability. radley.
However, after Ivan Turner came to the Celtics, he did play at a quasi-first-class level in the league. It is still a bit difficult for LaVine to defend against him. Throw shots directly from the free throw line.
There is no way to prevent this. This is the most commonly used style of play by outside players after they enter the inside line. Rush up, this kind of shooting is unstoppable, just like the Cavaliers led by Tony Parker in 2007, who was still a young James and not a [-]-year-old man, and won the championship MVP. It is very difficult to prevent. .
Since then, the technology of throwing shots has only begun to be valued. Just like Jordan led the development of the backward jumper, Tony Parker is regarded as one of the players who have contributed the most to the NBA in Europe, not just winning a championship MVP. , He gave the outside line another efficient scoring method.
