Finals Ga2
The Lakers’ second home game, although the Celtics did not learn any lessons from the previous game, they also knew that if there was no change, the situation would be extremely passive.
Daly is not one to like to be passive.
In particular, he didn’t want to hear people say that it was because of the negligence of the coaching staff that this result was caused when he lost.
Therefore, even if it seems that there is no change, he still wants to make changes on the court.
In Game 1, the Lakers’ shooters lined up to lay the groundwork for Wilson’s dominant performance, and the Celtics were helpless. Tonight, the Celtics made a bold change.
The roles of Sampson and Malone have been reversed.
That is, Malone becomes the one doing things at the high post, while Sampson needs to bear the former’s offensive quota.
Daly’s change of formation was completely beyond Louis’ expectations.
Because this is a complete rebuilding of the Celtics’ well-polished system.
Sampson is in a high position as the axis, which can avoid various problems caused by the decline in combat power caused by the decline in various physical functions brought about by age.
Sampson in the high position is still a superstar, but in the low position, he may only be at the All-Star level.
If he encounters a lot of hand-to-hand combat and his physical strength declines, his performance will be even more unstable.
It is impossible for Daly not to take these things into consideration.
But he still has to take the risk of swapping the positions of Sampson and Malone. Why?
Louie looked at Garnett, maybe, that’s why. Garnett is not Ewing.
Give him another 10 years, and he won’t be able to become Ewing.
He can’t play like Ewing and hang on to Sampson like a red-eyed pit bull.
This is why Daly is actively seeking change. He believes that Garnett cannot bring enough pressure.
Seeing this clearly, Louis began to think about it.
Because the first game was played too smoothly, the **** Ben Wallace was useless.
At that time, at this time, Wallace was only arranged to face Malone in the low position at that time, because of the basic arrangement of the Celtics.
Now that Sampson has come to the inside, he will attack like an insider. In this way, Wallace’s inside hob meat attribute will be valuable.
Moreover, his current value may be far greater than the value of defending Malone as a scumbag.
So, only two rounds into the game, Louie turned back to Big Ben and said, “Be ready to play anytime.”
The Celtics just exchanged the tactical positions of the two giants inside, and the whole style of play is completely different.
And the Lakers don’t have so many twists and turns.
Having suffered from the shooter in the last game, the Lakers still chose to start from the outside in this game.
Ballos and Liu Yuqing continued their good touch in the first game, hitting Lukai with three-pointers from outside like raindrops.
For the Celtics, although Malone’s support is not as deep as Sampson’s, he can be regarded as first-class in the interior, and he has a stable mid-range shot, which is very difficult to stand in a high position.
With Malone’s shooting and passing, the Celtics clung to the score.
“Ralph and Carl’s high and low post coordination is the one that often appears in my dreams.” Louis sighed, “It’s a pity that Jasmine and Chuck must not be able to reach this level.”
Sampson has not been inside for a long time, but now he is back in his hometown, but he is still very powerful.
However, no matter how much he tosses inside, he can only make two points and two points. With his excellent touch, the Lakers shot 50% of their shots in the first four minutes of the first quarter.
After most of the quarter, 21 to 18, the two sides can be regarded as a tie.
“This game is really a finals-level game.”
Lambiel commented: “So far, both sides have defended very well. If you have to say who is better, I would say that the Celtics move the ball more smoothly, while the Lakers have a better shooting touch.”
However, Lambiel’s statement is not entirely true.
Not everyone on the Lakers feels great. For example, Wilson, his touch tonight is average. The first three shots all missed.
Fortunately, he still has defense. It doesn’t matter if I don’t feel good, as long as Grant Hill, who is facing him, also turns off the flame.
However, if you trade a Hill for a Wilson who has no touch, the Celtics will not lose money in this deal.
After that, the Celtics replaced Malone to rest and let the older and more demonic Sampson return to a high position.
Louis ignored Da Ben, who was full of fighting spirit.
Although Big Ben was prepared after the opening, but after the last quarter, Louis never had the opportunity to make a substitution.
Although Garnett did not give enough defensive pressure, he played well in other areas.
Moreover, the real resistance to changing the capital is not Garnett, but Barkley. If you really want to change the big book, it will also let Garnett play four, and Barkley go to the big book to play five.
However, Barkley is the most reliable point for the Lakers today. Wilson got off to a rough start, and Barkley took all the tough shots.
When the Lakers’ tactics are exhausted and someone needs to take over, just give the ball to Barkley, and he basically doesn’t waste opportunities.
Barkley played so well that Louie could only let Big Ben sit on the bench.
Now it’s time for substitutions, and Daly rotates Malone in the opposite direction and keeps Sampson—surprisingly, considering Sampson’s age, he should never be the one to help the team get through the title stage.
However, when Louis saw Sampson return to a high position, he immediately understood Daly’s intentions.
Bringing Sampson back to the paint doesn’t mean that Daly will give up the former’s plasticity at the high post.
After playing the inside line, go back to the high position to find the feeling, and then change when you are almost found.
That’s probably what Daly intended. This coincides with Louis.
Louis also chose to replace Barkley, leaving Wilson, who had a bad start, to lead the second team to find a feel.
Along with Barkley, Barros and Garnett were replaced.
The players who were replaced were Dumars, Rodman, and Big Ben.
The picture of Rodman and Big Ben on the court at the same time is “beautiful”. It is too easy to defend against a lineup with two players with 0 autonomous offensive ability.
The Celtics focused their defense on Wilson. Because Wilson didn’t feel good today.
When Wilson gets the ball on the wing, the Celtics will use the paint to delay or even double-team to avoid Benj getting a single.
If Benj breaks through successfully, whichever side he breaks through, the defender will get stuck in the paint and stand dead on that side.
In order to prevent Benj from regaining his touch, the Celtics can even let go of both sides in order to block the center, allowing Ben and Rodman to score easily through air cuts.
In general, that’s all.
Flank attack before the breakthrough, switch defenses after the breakthrough, try to force people to go to the bottom line.
The Celtics’ defensive arrangement against Wilson can be described as painstaking. Compared with the “Jordan Rules” that Louis launched for Jordan back then, there are some details missing.
Louie called a timeout before the Celtics’ defense really worked.
Louie explained the Celtics’ targeted defense to Wilson in detail.
“Boston would give up everything to stop you from scoring, you know what to do?”
Wilson guessed: “Let those who are abandoned hurt them?” “I like dealing with smart people. If it were Patrick, he would definitely not react so quickly.”
This is just one of thousands of times Louie has been unreasonable to the chimpanzee.
However, I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but whenever Ewing was mentioned, Wilson’s fighting spirit would skyrocket.
Last season’s championship allowed Ewing to ascend to President Hill, and also got rid of the shadow of “nothing without Benj”.
While Wilson and Ewing were in the Knicks’ seven consecutive championships, Ben
Come is that you don’t distinguish me, and I don’t distinguish you. Ewing got out of the shadows, that these
The shadow naturally shifted to Wilson, who was in the division of Journey to the West for two years.
Even though Louie’s unreasonable chimpanzee was just for mouthfeeling, it still made Wilson serious.
Yes, he still has unfinished business.
Only by building a super team no less than the Knicks dynasty in Los Angeles can he completely get rid of the gossip related to Ewing, and the Celtics in front of him are just one of many difficulties and obstacles, and he must not stop here.
“Coach, I’m going to do the right thing,” Wilson said.
Louie knew he could trust Benj.
“I leave it to you, Benj.” Louie patted Wilson on the shoulder lightly, “Come on.”
It is obviously unreasonable for the Celtics to care so much about Wilson.
There is only one way their plot will come true. That is, Kobe suddenly grew a pair of fangs, which contained venom that could infect the Mamba spirit, and then he suddenly lost his mind and bit Benj, causing Benj to fall ill on the court.
Back from the timeout, Wilson held the ball in the middle, and the Celtics really followed suit.
These movements were seen by Wilson, who casually ground the ball to Ben Wallace.
Big Ben received the ball, rushed to the basket and dunked like a panther.
