All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

On the evening of the 3rd, North Shore Garden Arena.

The Celtics, who were pushed to the edge of the cliff by the Raptors, will have their last fight tonight.

In the NBA, even counting the future, no team has ever completed a comeback from a 0-3 deficit.

Therefore, before the start of this game, without Auerbach even needing to remind them, the Celtics players all knew that losing the G3 game would mean losing the entire series.

What is different from the previous two games is that tonight Davis took the initiative to adjust the Raptors' starting lineup.

Nash returned to the starting lineup, while McGrady returned to the bench.

Before the game, when the Celtics bench noticed that the Raptors had changed their starting lineup, this time, even if Miller Carr thought about it, for a moment...

He didn't understand why Davis arranged it this way.

Think about what John would do?

But I can’t figure it out no matter how hard I try, how can I break it?

On the court, after the players from the two teams finished warming up, in the center of the court, Duncan and Big Ben started the game with a jump ball.

In the first two battles, Ben was suddenly beaten bald by Duncan. Now facing the giant Duncan, he was unable to use his advantage in deterrence.

Duncan calmly jumped the first attack for the Celtics.

Marbury "steadily" dribbled the ball across half court amid the cheers of the fans.

Because the Celtics' home floor was replaced in a hurry this time, even the Celtics' own players were unable to fully memorize the locations where those "honorary floors" were buried.

Therefore, rather than saying that Marbury's dribbling is very stable, it is better to say that he is afraid of being trapped by his own floor.

In order to defeat the Raptors, Auerbach racked his brains in this round of the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the desperate situation, "Cardinal" even used the ultimate move of Seven Injury Fist.

However, although the Celtics players cannot guarantee that they will not be trapped by their own floor, compared to the Raptors who rely more on outside play...

With Duncan, the Celtics can indeed eliminate this environmental impact to a certain extent by playing high and high.

Before the game, Su Feng discovered it as early as during the warm-up...

The location of the Celtic mines is very weird.

Because the restricted areas on both sides of the court happen to be areas without "landmines".

The Celtics played the first attack. After Marbury passed the ball to Bowen on the wing, the latter directly hoisted the ball inside.

As Duncan launched unpretentious combination punches, just like the previous two battles, Ben still had no temper for the youngster Duncan's attack.

0 to 2.

Because the Nets were tightened tonight, after Duncan scored this ball, the Raptors were unable to quickly serve the baseline ball.

At this time, Karl was even more confused as to why Davis would put Nash in the starting lineup.

Because in Karl's opinion...

If he can't play fast break, Nash's role on the court cannot be as great as Tracy McGrady.

Soon, however, Carr will know why Davis did what he did.

In the Raptors' first attack, Su Feng, who failed to get the ball in the low post right away, took advantage of Ben's cover and ran back from the baseline to the high post.

His movement successfully disrupted the Celtics' defensive position.

And at the moment when Marbury's attention was attracted by Su Feng, Nash, who had been shooting the ball in the "safe area", suddenly pulled a green onion and completed a quick shot.

Swish——!

3 to 2.

Unlike in the past when he had to bear the team's organizational responsibility, tonight, Nash, who started the game, only received one instruction.

That is, anytime and anywhere.

As long as Nash thinks he can take a shot, he can fire at will.

Because there are many minefields on the Celtics' home floor, players who are good at breakthroughs and need to rely on one-handed dribbling to complete the offense will be at a great disadvantage.

Therefore, under Su Feng's hint, Davis quickly found the correct way to deal with it.

That is to say, while reducing singles, the movement of players without the ball is increased.

In addition, players holding the ball adopt a more simple and crude way to complete the offense during the game.

In this way, the impact of the Celtics' "honor floor" on the Raptors will be very limited.

Of course, as the godfather of basketball, Davis has more to offer.

On the court, after the Celtics also scored in their second attack, it was the Raptors' turn to attack.

But this time, when Carter used the cover from the flank to seize the opportunity to shoot, the UFO, like Nash just now, decisively fired quickly from the outside.

When——!

The moment Carter took action, Ben, Jordan, and Su Feng had already inserted themselves into the Celtics penalty area.

Twisting the rim loose will indeed change the trajectory of the rebound to a certain extent, but...

Still the same problem.

In a short period of time, even the Celtics' own players were unable to fully grasp this change in trajectory.

Therefore, the second arrangement of Davis tonight is to make Raptors players with three-point shooting ability use three-pointers as the team's first offensive option.

Under normal circumstances, in order to prevent opponents from counterattacking, in past games, although the Raptors will have someone take some unreasonable three-point shots, in most cases, their three-point shots are not as exaggerated as they will be in the future. .

But tonight was different.

Even if the Raptors' three-pointers were unscientific tonight, they didn't have to worry about being directly counterattacked by their opponents.

Because when the shot is made, as with the Nets tonight, the Raptors can't serve the baseline ball quickly, and the Celtics can't serve the baseline ball quickly either.

Coupled with the floor restrictions, it would be impossible for the Celtics to force a fast break tonight even if they wanted to.

As for not making the shot?

What does that matter?

On the court, Su Feng, who saw the basketball falling towards him, directly grabbed the ball into his arms with one hand in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Su Feng, who grabbed the rebound, flicked the ball to the outside, and Nash completed the shot again from outside the three-point line.

Swish——!

6 to 4.

First of all, if the shot fails, the Raptors can seize the second offensive opportunity through aggressive rushing.

Because even if the Celtics loosen the basket, the trajectory of the three-point shot will be different from that of the mid-range shot, making it more difficult to grab.

Secondly, three-pointers are definitely more cost-effective than two-pointers.

Therefore, playing in the specific environment of the Celtics' home court tonight, in Su Feng's opinion, is not very suitable for the Raptors' shooting and grabbing tactics.

Anyway, if it is accurate, it will take away the opponent in one wave.

And if it’s like a certain team in the future that scores dozens of irons in a row, that’s...

Bad luck!

On the bench of the Celtics, when they noticed the resolute attitude of the Raptors players when shooting three-pointers...

Auerbach suddenly had the feeling that times had changed.

Yeah, things are different now than before...

In the past, no one liked shooting three-pointers.

So these little details that are not taken seriously can determine the success or failure of the game.

But now, as the three-point shot plays an increasingly important role in modern basketball, the shackles the Celtics created for the Raptors tonight, in turn, created objective conditions for the Raptors to find another way.

"Miller, although I don't like three-pointers, you must work harder on three-pointers this summer."

At this moment, Auerbach looked at the dome of the North Shore Garden Arena and patted his disciple on the shoulder.

After hearing this, while Karl nodded, he couldn't help but look at the "fat man" next door.

John, is this why you've been able to make this Raptors so good?

Ah...

Ah yawn——!

On the Raptors bench, Davis, who felt like someone was always talking about him behind his back, suddenly sneezed.

I don’t know why, but Davis always feels like someone is always talking bad about him behind his back.

On the court, when the Celtics' positional battle failed to break open the Raptors, the Raptors' unreasonable three-pointers...

here we go again!

Tonight, Su Feng, who changed from inside fighting to outside racing, after receiving Nash's pass, didn't care whether there was anyone in front of him, anyway...

Raise your hand and shoot an instant sniper first!

Swish——!

Then, Su Feng, who was destined to be with the Nets, hit the three-pointer hollowly into the net.

9 to 4.

In front of the TV, for fans who are tired of watching defensive battles, although the Raptors have not performed their best alley-oop tonight, don't tell me, this kind of random three-point shooting looks quite enjoyable.

At the scene, the Celtics fans felt as if the Raptors players were deliberately showing off their skills.

In this era, three-point throwing plays like this are rare.

In the commentary box, the commentators from major TV stations in North America were at a loss for how to explain this game.

On the field, the game continues.

Because the Raptors' three-pointers were accurate tonight, the pressure on the Celtics players' shoulders has invisibly increased on both offense and defense.

In Su Feng's previous life, the Warriors' Xia Jiba was often able to take away the opponent in one wave because of the continuous three-pointers, which could easily defeat the opponent psychologically.

Many times, the Warriors' opponents are defeated not so much by the Warriors' three-pointers, but because they mess up their position.

Even though the Celtics are well-trained, they will also panic in the face of the Raptors' style of play that has been ahead of the times for nearly 15 years.

after all......

Players are people too.

In the first quarter of the game, the Raptors, who have been bursting with confidence recently, in addition to a certain North Carolina junior and senior brother, even the old Curry, who came on to replace Carter in the second half of the first quarter, were excited.

No way, although Carter received coaching from Curry last summer, he obviously hasn't mastered quick shots like this after catching the ball.

Well, Nash is pretty accurate.

Because he usually wants to grab meat from his big brother, no one knows how much Nash cherishes the opportunity like tonight to have unlimited fire.

In the first quarter, the Raptors took 18 shots from beyond the three-point line.

Among them, Su Feng dumped him 8 times alone.

You know, even in the future, this data will be absolutely crazy.

They fired without limit under HC rules and hit 9 three-pointers in the first quarter, directly destroying Auerbach's idea of ​​relying on home "decoration" to win two consecutive games.

In the second quarter of the game, Jordan, who sat back on the bench, couldn't help but think of the time when the Bulls were eliminated by the 76ers.

In that game, if Jordan remembers correctly, Su Feng took a total of 20 three-pointers.

For many old-school NBA players, the three-point shot is a coward's choice in their eyes.

However, this season, after following the Raptors all the way, Jordan discovered that sometimes players need more courage to take three-pointers on the court than to take mid-range shots.

Looking at the teammates on the court with bright eyes and each one shooting more resolutely than the other, Jordan knew very well that a new era...

It has arrived quietly.

In the second quarter of the game, with the Celtics' defense expanding wildly, the Raptors' three-point shots were restricted to a certain extent.

In this era of HC rules and tough defense, if the Raptors hadn't misbehaved in the first quarter and the Celtics were disrupted, three-pointers would indeed not be as easy to shoot as they will be in the future.

However, because the Celtics' defense expanded wildly, there was naturally a void inside them.

result......

Su Feng's magical maneuvers to bypass the mines again and again stunned Auerbach and Millerkar on the sidelines.

In order to prevent Su Feng's instant sniper, Bowen had no choice but to become intimately entwined with Su Feng in the second quarter.

However, under this kind of defense, it is not easy for Su Feng to get an easy breakthrough.

And every time Bowen followed Su Feng, praying that Su Feng would step on thunder next...

Bowen was surprised to find that every time Su Feng could use his weird snake-like breakthrough to bypass the "honor floor" of the Celtics' home court.

this......

Is this the strength of the regular season MVP?

The Bowen people were dumbfounded.

Especially once, after Su Feng broke through the corner and scored a layup, this guy actually pointed to a spot on the floor to remind himself that when he accidentally stepped on a "land mine"...

Bowen just realized that he didn't even know that the floor was a "landmine."

On the Celtics bench, Auerbach knew that he was in a cocoon.

As the saying goes, the stadium environment is relative.

Tonight, UU Reading www.uｕkanshu.net The Celtics, who were knocked unconscious by the Raptors, not only failed to take advantage of their home court advantage, but in turn, the Raptors turned away and gained the upper hand.

But then again.

How could the great "Cardinal" have imagined that Su Feng would be such a thin man?

To be honest, after just one visit to the court, you can remember so many "traps" in your mind, and at the same time, you have to avoid these "traps" in an exciting game. This...

Is it really something humans can do?

If the NBA had a show called The Strongest Brain, there would be no doubt that Auerbach would definitely call Su Feng the strongest.

"Is there nothing else in this kid's mind besides basketball?" Auerbach thought with emotion as he watched Su Feng, who was constantly asking his teammates to avoid "landmines" on the court.
