Two hours after Game 4 between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Philadelphia 76ers players returned to their hotel.

“…… Alas! ”

It's been two hours since the end of the game, but the players are still looking quite unhappy.

After getting off the bus, the players walked into the hotel lobby and were guided by security to the floor where they lived. Along the way, a word was written on everyone's face:

Accurate!

yes, how can it be cool?

“yeaaaaaah！！！ boston！！！ ”

In the bar on the first floor of the hotel, the cheers of the fans can be heard. Many fans who had found a place to watch the game with the fans and enjoy the warm atmosphere of watching the game together did not leave the bar two hours after the game.

Wine glasses collided, hops fell to the ground, and some fans sang high-pitched songs live, excited as if the Celtics had won another championship.

It can't be helped, and it's so exciting to be able to win at home in the face of a mortal enemy.

Back in Boston, the fans are looking forward to it. Boston fans have even thought about the road to promotion that is about to be laid out in front of them.

Stealing one win in two away games and returning home to win two games in a row is a 3-1 scoreline.

After that, while Philadelphia have home-court advantage, with two of the three games played, Boston clearly have more options to retreat.

The NBA's home-and-away rotation in the playoffs has always been questioned by many people. In a 2-2-1-1-1 format, the team with home advantage will experience two away games after two home games.

After two away games, then it's back and forth, one here and one there. Not to mention the time and effort, it will also prevent the team with home field advantage from getting consecutive home opportunities in the last few games of the series.

If you lead Philadelphia 3-1, then the next is Philadelphia's home game, taking advantage of the momentum of three consecutive wins, Boston has played well, maybe they can win this away and advance in one fell swoop.

And it doesn't matter if you can't take it, because it's Boston's home again, and how long can Philadelphia withstand the pressure amid the frenzied shouts of North Shore Gardens?

4-2, or lose one more game, with the idea of winning or going home, fight an away game. In this case, a super strong man like Boston has its own heritage.

No matter how you look at it, as long as they win both home games, Boston's hopes of advancing are very high.

But no.

The 76ers players, under the leadership of Chen Mu, gave Boston fans a head start in their first away game after coming to Boston.

A victory shattered the wishful thinking in the hearts of Boston fans. Depression, anger, unhappiness, all the negative emotions are building up in the hearts of Boston fans.

And seeing that the players of the home team did their best, or there was no way to take Chen Mu, the Boston fans couldn't bear to say anything, so they could only endure it silently.

Finally, I waited for the fourth victory.

"This loss, it's really ...... Alas......"

Curry, who is participating in the playoffs for the first time, is relatively stress-free on weekdays, but he doesn't know what to say at this time.

At that time, if those balls were handled better, maybe they would be able to ......

"Don't think about it."

Passing through the cheers of the Boston fans and stepping into the elevator, Carlisle spoke.

"There's no point in thinking too much, we have to see the shining point, and then go back to the home court to win Tianwang Mountain."

"Ding", the elevator arrived, and after the door opened, Carlisle waved his hand and said to the players: "Go back to the room and tidy up a little, and then go to my room to meet." ”

"Let's review."

“…… Be! ”

Review.

Immediately after the game, Carlisle didn't do much about it, but the former coach Cheeks liked it.

Because of the different habits of the two, Cheeks' coaching mainly relies on experience and analysis, not so much imagination, but watching the food. Look at what kind of personnel the team has, and then use those personnel to decide what tactics to play.

Carlisle, on the other hand, is more of a talented coach, and the reason why his tactical set-up is so colorful is that experience alone is certainly not enough, but also extreme imagination.

That's why Cheeks likes to review with the players in the shortest possible time after the game. In the process of watching the game, the ideas and opinions of the players may be able to contribute some ideas to Cheeks, and as soon as his experience is superimposed, new tactical ideas will appear.

Carlisle, on the other hand, prefers to be alone, or with the coaching staff, to watch the footage first and let his mind spark. Then edit the footage, find the part that needs to be shown to the players, and watch it with the players repeatedly to find out what the problem is.

But today, Carlisle deeply felt that there was not enough time, and it was better to give the players as soon as possible to see the problems and highlights that he had already seen in the game.

That's basically how the team plays, Philadelphia's tactics are colorful enough, and the player rotation is amazing enough. Even Chen Mu has played point guard and small forward, what crazy thing can't happen?

What Philadelphia needs now is faith.

It's the kind of confidence that allows them to hold up their fighting beliefs against Celtic who are clearly getting better and better.

Fifteen minutes later, Carlisle's room.

"All here?"

Carlisle looked at it and made sure that none of the Gu Zi who didn't have long eyes went out to the bar, nodded and said, "That's started." ”

“beat-76ers！！！！”

As soon as the video opened, there was a deafening shout. The strong sense of oppression brought by the North Shore Gardens made the Philadelphia players a little scared through the screen.

"It's ...... The second half of the fourth quarter?? ”

Seeing the time and score on the screen, the players were stunned.

Isn't it a review from the beginning?

What's going on??!

"yes, there's nothing to see in the first three sections."

Carlisle said: "They have a good hand, Chen is troubled by fouls, we don't defend well, that's it. ”

"Hmmm......"

Chen Mu sat aside and nodded, it was indeed like that.

"In the fourth quarter, we had bright spots, even though we lost in the end."

Carlisle looked at Chen Mu and nodded, "Chen's defense." ”

"Defend and defend!"

"The pressure is on!!"

"Stephen, location! Location!! ”

Curry lowered his head in shame......

Then, Garnett catches the ball.

"This ...... You did it on purpose, right??! ”

I don't know if I don't know it, but after reviewing Iguodala, I found that this time Garnett received the ball smoothly, not because there was a problem in the defensive rotation, so Rondo's pass was in place.

Instead, Chen Mu deliberately slowed down and let Garnett catch the ball in that position.

That Garnett had always been the most familiar and the most capable of unleashing supernormal power.

ribs, half a step outside the paint area.

"Yes, on purpose."

Chen Mu nodded, and said with a determined face: "I want to try it." ”

"Try it??"

The crowd was puzzled.

"If I had just followed the rotation and went up to block the passing route and didn't let Kevin catch the ball, there would have been a problem."

Chen Mu nodded and said: "I went to the ribs to prevent him from catching the ball, he had no way to catch the ball and play alone, but the inside line would be empty, right?" Rajan, Ray, and Paul can cut to the basket to attract Darko to the outside. Kevin's receiving route, Andre you're going to block, right? ”

Iguodala nodded.

"Then I rotated the defense and went down to the basket to make up for it. They have a few outside lines, and they can make fouls. ”

After Chen Mu finished speaking, he stopped talking, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at the screen as he defended Garnett.

Everyone knows.

That's right, control fouls.

For Philadelphia, the most important thing on the defensive end is to control Chen Mu's fouls.

If Chen Mu fouls too much, Philadelphia's defense will collapse, and the two losses are caused by this reason.

Chen Mu's current way of dealing with it is called a simple and straightforward one:

Aren't you trying to use the outside line to make my foul? Aren't your perimeter players impactful and skilled enough to get me fouled?

Then I won't let them attack.

How?

Leave the attacking opportunities to Garnett.

"It's a big gamble."

Chen Mu's approach was obviously indicated by Carlisle, and the coach was not surprised at all, and nodded: "In this situation, we can only believe that Chen can lock Kevin one-on-one." Of course, a player of Kevin's level can't be completely locked up. But as long as Chen can reduce his attack success rate below the average level of other people's attacks, our chances of winning will increase. ”

"The foul problem has also been resolved...... Well, a great idea to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Iverson nodded, remembering his trip to the finals.

Although the first game was full of offense and defense, Iverson's shooting rate and scoring efficiency in the whole series actually declined compared to the god-killing state that year.

The Philadelphia 76ers at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Iverson's one-man team. But there are only two ways for that Philadelphia 76ers team to win.

First, Iverson exploded, the explosion shocked the world and cried ghosts and gods, and the whole world that killed knelt down and sang about conquest.

Second, led by Iverson, the whole team's offense and defense played a wonderful level.

When Iverson has the ball, he will almost certainly attract the bag or create extreme confusion in the defense. These chaotic periods are Philadelphia's chances of winning, and if you grasp the chaotic period, Aaron McGee, Snow, Uncle Mu, Ragabel and others will receive and score all kinds of balls, and Philadelphia can open it.

And the Lakers just happened to find a good way.

Use Tyrone Lue, who is also combing his furrow head, to mark Iverson one-on-one.

To what extent it is done, others continue to do what they should do.

In this way, the Lakers' superiority over Philadelphia on the team will be fully reflected.

And Chen Mu's approach is similar to the Lakers' approach.

The difference is that Lou certainly can't defend against Iverson.

And Chen Mu completely locked Garnett in the next half of the game.

"Bang Bang Bang"

On the screen, Garnett's dribble begins. (To be continued.) )
