Chapter 316: I'm Stronger

At the end of the third quarter, ABC aired Kevin. Garnett's interview video, the Wolves were much more normal than the twin brothers in the interview, he said: "I play to win, and the championship trophy is the best proof that I am not a winner." The trophy has always been out of reach for me, and I want to be able to lift it in my own hands. ”

ABC's Mark. Jackson said: "I don't agree with the idea that it's the championship that proves you're the winner. ”

Reggie. Miller also had an intriguing quote: "Yes, there are many reasons why you can win, including who your teammates are and who are your opponents. In the Jordan era, there were a lot of championship-caliber players who you can only say were unlucky, but whether you end up winning a championship or not, as long as you tap 100% of your potential and beat yourself, you are a champion. ”

Fans in front of the TV know why Miller said this, this big-mouthed career is the most typical tragedy, full of flaws like another big ass, and now he leaves the world with the impression of a final comeback in Madison Square in New York, scolding Spike Lee, arguing with Jordan, and of course, fighting Kobe.

As an NBA player who didn't win a championship, it is very rare to be remembered by fans for so many personal deeds after retiring. But if it were another twenty years, how many people would remember Reggie by then. Miller this Hall of Fame player?

NBA stars in the sixties and seventies, most fans now can only remember the names of a few superstars such as Chamberlain and Russell. The rest, even if they were not inferior to Kobe Bryant, Garnett and others in the NBA back then, but with the advent of generations of rising stars. Their names can only be pressed underneath and become more and more obscure.

But the magician, Michael. Jordan and O'Neal will be remembered for a longer time, because they not only won the championship, but also achieved achievements that no one else could achieve!

The twins want to be remembered by posterity. They have to be like these predecessors, to create achievements that future generations of players can only look up to, in order to become the real Hall of Fame superstars who are still mentioned repeatedly a hundred years later!

At the end of the first three quarters, the score was 76:75, and the Clippers led the Celtics by one point.

"Attention, everybody, this series. The Celtics have been playing wide cover tactics, and Ray has been playing wide screens. Half of Allen's shots were from outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left wing, and this is the area where he shot the most. So here's the question, don't think I'm going to tell you how to defend, what I'm going to say is. Even if their cover is well executed, you can't stop it at first, but now that you know where he's going, you know what he's going to do, and if he continues to get open shots, then you can be killed in front of the fans. ”

The Clippers players' defense of the Celtics' positioning cover made Dunleavy Sr. very unhappy. Allen scored another 23 points today, and he can't run 30+ like this. His three-pointer was too damaging to the Clippers in the fourth quarter. Allen hit a few more three-pointers, and he was going to kneel in this game.

Artest and Posey defend Ray. None of Aaron's results were good. When the old Dunleavy reached this point, he no longer cared about the main force or not, and he had to be replaced if he was not good. He didn't have as many worries as Rivers, and he couldn't move here except for the twins, and the other people were not used to old Dunleavy.

So in the fourth quarter, the elder Dunleavy did not replace Posey again, but replaced him with Francisco. Garcia comes to defend Ray. Alan.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers changed their starting average lineup. Instead, they were sent: Billups, Garcia, James. Posey, Artest, Tim. Thomas's odd little lineup.

Charles. Barkley couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Dunleavy Sr. had come up with such a short lineup with an average height: "The Clippers' lineup in this game is very interesting. The average height of the starters, the average height of the second echelon. I think with this lineup, I can go up and play a dozen centers. ”

Kenny. Smith complained in his heart: "Just your head, if you don't have a big butt, you won't be qualified to wear the inner height and play the No. 4 position." ”

The Celtics sent in the fourth quarter: Rajan. Rondo, Ray. Aaron, Al. Thorton, Glenn. Davis, P.J. Brown.

After the start of the game, Celtic took advantage of Rondo's breakthrough and provided an assist to Ray. Allen hit a three-point shot from the corner and had an assist for Al. Thorton cut into the basket and dunked, and the Green Army took the lead with two attacks.

The elder Dunleavy immediately called a timeout, he had already seen the Celtics' tactics, Rivers knew that the Clippers must let the twin brothers rest for a few minutes in the fourth quarter, and after coming on the court, they changed to the V-shaped position, and the two interior lines were pulled to the left and right corners, and the second and third positions were divided into the left and right corners, completely emptying the basket.

This stance gives the outside player, that is, Rondo, a lot of room to break through, and there are many opportunities for the inside player to cut open.

The Celtics' two bench interior players, PJ Brown and Davis, both have mid-to-long-range range, so the V-position can play to their advantage, allowing Rondo to get to the basket or score on his own, or pass to the two interior players and the two outside players lurking in the corner.

"They use a V-shaped tactic, Chauncy puts two more steps on the field, we have to rotate faster on the inside, and the two of them are not fast, you can't keep up with their down."

The Clippers players came on the court with the coach's orders, but Rivers showed his superior skills at this time, and the Green Army took advantage and immediately switched to another set of tactics, what bullshit V-word tactics, the Celtics never used it again in this game, and the two hits just now were just sneak attacks, and by the way, the Clippers were deceived into a timeout, and the purpose was all achieved.

After the game restarted, the Clippers played a complex high-post blocking tactic, Billups' breakthrough attracted two people from Big Baby and Rondo to defend, Artest cut to the basket after covering with his empty hand, received a pass, and used his strong body to knock off PJ Brown for a layup.

This is one force to ten meetings, Artest is good at fighting tough battles, because he is violent enough!

Defensively, Billups was two steps away from Rondo, but the latter still didn't dare to shoot three-pointers.

Thunder. Allen played a flank screen on the flank and the team's two interior lines, using the big baby's cover to run a V-cut in an attempt to get rid of the opponent.

Artest had to rush over to help make up the defense, but the big baby took the opportunity to rush to the inside line to receive the thunder. Allen's over-the-top pass, actually with Ray. Allen staged an aerial relay, which was a clear indication of bullying the Clippers who were not tall enough.

Old Dunleavy was so angry that he squatted down and slapped the floor several times, and scolded in his heart: "Where is Thomas who just went inside, shouldn't this bastard be on the inside?" ”

Tim. Thomas is on the outside at the moment, watching the big baby fall from the basket with innocent eyes, feeling that his teammates are too wasteful, and actually let a tall big meat ball complete an aerial relay, where are the people on the inside line dying?

At 9 minutes and 30 seconds in the fourth quarter, the elder Dunleavy couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly replaced the twin brothers who had only rested for more than two minutes and their butts were not yet hot. The Clippers' lineup was bombarded by the Celtics for 10 points in less than three minutes, which made the old Dunleavy completely understand that the basketball court is really the sport of tall men and Warriors, and their starting lineup is no problem with the high point, but the bench short point was immediately blown into scum!

With a score of 81:85, the Clippers are already four points behind the Celtics.

Ji Guoqiu had 11 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guoyi 19 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block, Billups 16 points and 5 assists, Artest 14 points and 5 rebounds, Mobley 6 points, Davis 4 points and 4 rebounds, Thomas 5 points, and Posey 5 points.

Garnett had 13 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist, Pierce had 5 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Allen 26 points, Rajan. Rondo had 8 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Perkins had 6 points and 4 rebounds, and Al Brown. Thorton had 8 points, Cassel had 7 points, P.J. Brown had 4 points and Davis had 4 points.

Thunder. Allen's empty-handed run today made the Clippers a little overwhelmed, and the Clippers players all knew that he had to run out of the air with the help of cover and then shoot, but he would run out of the gap with the help of his teammates' cover, except for fouls.

In the impression of the two brothers, the reason why the Green Army in '08 was strong was because you knew that Ray. Aaron will get out of your run, but you just can't stop it; You also know that Garnett will pull you out, but you still can't prevent it; You know Pierce will single you and you will still be scored by him.

But fortunately, Pierce's singles were charged today, otherwise the Big Three would have been able to stop it at all.

"It's nothing, we can't stop them, we don't believe they can stop me." Before Ji Guoyi came on the court, he cheered himself up in his heart, because in this lineup, he had to play against Garnett again.

The Clippers attacked, and Ji Guozhi remembered that before he came on the court, the elder Dunleavy deliberately grabbed him and asked, "Ray. Isn't Aaron's running drift pretty? ”

Ji Guoyi knew what this meant, and immediately replied: "I'm even more powerful!" ”

Thunder. Aaron was in the supersonic period, and he had everything in singles and breakthroughs, but now except for three points, everything else is basically gone. But in the finals, it was this guy who could only shoot three points but became the powerless storage of the Clippers. Old Dunleavy asked him to learn Ray. Aaron, he knew it was a good idea, and this way of attacking was a trick he always used against strong opponents. It's just that the Celtics' overall defense is too good, and Garnett is too difficult to follow, but after three games, he has also summed up some ways to get rid of the opponent.

Clippers fans immediately let out thunderous cheers when they saw the twin brothers on the court.

Blavin. Knight was waiting for his teammates to run at the top of the arc, and Ki suddenly activated on the left wing and accelerated to cut into the inside.

Ji Guoqiu just happened to help him block Garnett on the inside, PJ Brown immediately filled in the position, but was blocked by Artest, Ji Guoqiu quickly went around the right wing position to receive the pass, and immediately leaned back to shoot......

"Huh!" Ji Guosha raised his right hand after landing on the ground, he has now finally found the feeling of the first three rounds of the playoffs, Garnett is almost unable to keep up with him, Ji Guozhi feels as if something in his body is about to be released. (To be continued)
