Chapter 46: Prevent the inside and release the outside
"So this is Rivers' response..." Fang Chen murmured to himself after seeing the changes in the Celtics players on the court on the defensive end.
"Fang, the Celtics are defending the inside and the outside." Chris Janter and Michael Malone also saw the little abacus Rivers was playing, so they said to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen nodded and replied with a smile: "Since they are betting on the feel of our outside line, then as he wishes, let's play more outside line next!"
Rivers is gambling, and Fang Chen is also gambling. There is no way for both sides. The Cavaliers only have the advantage in physical strength. What the Celtics fear the most is physical battles, so the Celtics are mainly defending the basket and near the free throw line. As for the outside line, if they can't defend, the Cavaliers will shoot.
Since the Celtics' defensive tactics changed, it has become even more difficult for Ramon Sessions and others to break through to the inside.
However, the Cavaliers can find many opportunities on the outside.
It wasn't the Celtics who deliberately let it go, but Pierce, Ray Allen and the others couldn't keep up.
"Clang", Ramon Sessions missed the three-point line outside the three-point line, and the rebound was snatched by the 'Sharks' O'Neal.
Doug Rivers, who was standing on the sidelines, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Regardless of whether they can escape tonight or not, at least for now, the tactics they just arranged have some effect.
Therefore, Doug Rivers is also determined to defend against the defensive tactic of internal and external release.
Garnett and others must maintain more physical strength. Since the defensive end consumes so much physical strength and is successfully attacked by the opponent, it is better to give up close and defend, let go of the outside line, and main defense in the inside line, and use the physical strength to attack.
Besides, Garnett and others are all good offensive players, Rivers believes that their approach to attacking instead of defense will definitely pose a significant threat to the Cavaliers.
Of course, the premise is that the Cavaliers' outside feel cannot warm up.
"Swish", Rajon Rondo broke through to the basket and passed the ball beautifully to Paul Pierce, who was waiting at the top of the arc, who directly sent a three-pointer with a cold arrow.
The Celtics scored 5 points in a row, narrowing the gap to single digits in an instant.
The home fans were a little panicked. After all, the Celtics are a championship team. If they are opened, the Cavaliers' leading advantage is not enough.
Fang Chen stood up from the coach's seat with a serious look on his face, and then whispered as Ramon Sessions dribbled past him.
No one knows what Fang Chen said to Ramon Sessions, but there is no doubt that Fang Chen's words will definitely have an impact on the next situation.
The Celtics are still defending the basket at home, and even in order to save their energy, they played two-three joint defense.
Joint defense, as the name suggests, means joint defense.
It is divided into joint defense and counter-defense. If combined with man-to-peer, it can also be changed into mixed defense (mixed defense). The biggest difference between joint defense and man-to-peer is that people-to-peer defense is the ultimate goal, while joint defense is to prevent the ball.
For a team that is in a tacit way, the second and third-tier defense is the most energy-saving and efficient defense method, but it is mainly determined based on the strength of the objective opponent.
Generally speaking, the second and third joint defense will not last for many rounds, which means you need to change the defensive formation so that the opponent will not control your defensive rhythm and weaknesses.
Moreover, joint defense is the best defensive way to launch fast attacks, that is, the team mainly uses small and fast players to defend in the area, and makes up for the shortcomings in height through fast movements.
However, blindly playing in joint defense, the opponent will find the open space in your defense through fast-paced passes and receiving balls to break your joint defense, especially the outside line will be easy to get empty.
But for the Celtics, saving energy is much more important than making the Cavaliers shoot three-pointers.
Therefore, they have almost no psychological burden on the two and three joint defenses.
"Bang", Joey Graham's cross pass was directly cut off by Rajon Rondo.
After Rajon Rondo scored a steal, he directly made a fast attack.
The second and third-tier joint defense is very suitable for a speed player like him, because after defending against the opponent, they can counterattack quickly.
"Swish", Ramon Sessions struggled to catch up with him but still failed to block Rajon Rondo's fast attack.
48:55, the Celtics have continuously chased points, narrowing the gap to 7 points.
Seeing that the lead was getting smaller and smaller, Fang Chen quickly called for a timeout.
He must readjust the lineup, otherwise, his opponent will likely take the opportunity to tie the score and even overtake the score.
For some time before, Fang Chen was not helpless in watching the game, but was trying to find ways to deal with the situation on the court.
After discussing with Chris Jante and Michael Malone, Fang Chen had a bold plan.
"Antoine, Daniel, you two replace Anderson and Anthony." Fang Chen arranged for Jamison and Gibson without any doubt.
When both of them heard this, they both showed excitement on their faces and quickly took off their coats.
Anderson Valejo and Anthony Parker had some doubts on their faces, but as Fang Chen became more and more prestige in the team, it was difficult for them to question Fang Chen's arrangements.
What's more, in order to implement Fang Chen's tactical arrangements tonight, their physical strength has been greatly tested. It is also necessary to be able to take a break now.
Fang Chen gathered the five players who were about to play together and said seriously: "It's better to run for me like the first half. Except for Ramon, all the other four people were put into the offense. As for the defensive end, if you can defend, you don't have to worry about it. But the offense must be opened, don't care whether the ball is in or not. What you have to do is to shoot decisively as long as there is a gap. All you five can shoot three points except **. Since they put the outside line, we will give them a three-pointer rain."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
After the timeout, five players, Antoine Jamison, ** Hickson, Joey Graham, Daniel Gibson and Ramon Sessions, came to the court.
Fans and Celtics met five Cavaliers players on the scene, and they were all a little confused. Almost no player in this lineup on the Cavaliers was good at defense. How to say that previous lineup Anderson Valejo and Anthony Parker were both good at defense, especially the former.
Now this lineup has completely lost its defense. Do you want to completely use attack instead of defense?
With all kinds of questions, everyone on the scene was waiting for the Cavaliers to change in the next step.
