Chapter 211 Reward Selection!
In fact, the Cardinal did wrong Bird and Carlisle.
The two also want the players to develop strong offensive capabilities, but the problem is...
Can he do this just by thinking about it?
Until Lin Yu traveled through time, James had not yet practiced his pull-up jump shot to the level of Kobe and Durant.
It's just like there are so many players who can shoot three-pointers, but there is only one Curry.
Some talents really can't be asked for.
At least Wu Sheng, Artest and O'Neal Jr. were not experts in attacking throughout their careers in the original history.
Angie, who was standing by, heard what the cardinal said and nodded in agreement.
When Angie saw this, she understood.
The Celtics are sure to win!
The Celtics' tactics are not that complicated.
In other words, there are no secrets about the tactics of all NBA teams.
The Pacers' tactics are generally to use excellent defense to reduce the opponent's shooting percentage.
Coupled with the strategy of mobilizing everyone, the opponent was eventually defeated.
The Celtics' strategic goal is to use excellent defense to drag the Pacers into a positional battle.
Then compete with the Pacers in offensive ability.
From a tactical point of view, the Pacers were firmly controlled by the Celtics.
This is also the reason why neither Red Cardinal nor Ainge thinks the Pacers can win!
Carlisle, who was standing aside, was also extremely anxious at this moment.
He is not a fool. Even if he did not guess the Celtics' tactical intentions, the situation on the court was indeed not good for the Pacers.
Although the score difference between the two sides did not widen to double digits, the Pacers were already suppressed.
After all, we have entered into the Celtics' rhythm!
on the field.
The Pacers began to attack.
Artest and Pierce began to quarrel with each other.
"Ron, are you sure you are the best small forward in the Eastern Conference?"
"Not on the defensive team, not on the All-NBA team, not on the All-Star team, how can you be the best small forward in the Eastern Conference?"
Pierce trash-talked Artest, and Artest hit back without any hesitation!
"Paul, weren't you selected as an All-Star?"
"But do you think you are strong? Did the Celtics win 64 games because of you?"
"You are just a little brother following behind Lin Yu. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
"Ron, do you think you are the star player of the Pacers?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Jermaine is the star player of the Pacers!"
Pierce's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Artest's heart.
It can be seen from the fact that O'Neal was selected into the best team that the outside world generally believes that O'Neal is the star player of this Pacers team.
But for Artest, he does not agree with this.
Regardless of this history or the original history, both of them have competed for the position of team leader.
The reason why they can still maintain harmony is mainly because the two veterans, Payton and Miller, are able to control the locker room.
But this does not mean that the contradiction has been eliminated.
On the contrary, the conflict between the two has always existed, and may even erupt completely in the future due to the current suppression.
Payton, who was standing by, heard this and realized that something might be wrong.
He yelled directly: "Paul, your trash talk is too low-level! Our goal is to win the championship! The team is a whole, and it has never been a hierarchy!"
After hearing this, Lin Yu could only say that although Payton talked a lot of trash, his emotional intelligence was still high.
If they really didn't care about the boss, why would the OK combination fall apart? If they really didn't care about the boss, how could there be so many stories in NBA history?
This is just empty talk after all, but it is enough to stabilize the morale of the troops for now.
Payton used O'Neal's pick-and-roll to get directly into the low post.
Tony came to defend, and Payton chose to back down.
In the later period of his career, Payton's shooting became unstable, and his main offensive method was low-post back-to-the-basket shooting.
bump!
After all, Tony is a man who can defend Durant, and defending the three position with strength is not a problem.
Naturally, he would not be pushed back because of old Payton's back-to-the-basket attack.
Just as Tony lowered his center of gravity and waited for Payton's second back-to-the-basket move.
Payton turned around and chose to break through for a layup.
Tony still suffered from his youth.
Tony was caught off guard and had no time to stop it.
Swish!
Payton made a layup to help the Pacers stabilize the situation.
Then Payton's trash talk started.
"Rookie, not everyone's rookie season is Michael, Irvin, and Lin Yu. It's easier to pass you than to cross the road in the early morning!"
Although Harden is also a master of trash talk, he is far inferior to Payton.
'Passing you is like crossing the road in the early morning!
This classic trash talk in the NBA was what Payton said to rookie Grant Hill.
After being criticized, Tony obviously didn't know how to respond, after all, he was just passed by Payton.
Lin Yu passed by and helped Tony spray back.
"Gary, you're right. It's indeed easier to get past the Pacers' defense than to cross the road in the early morning!"
"Lin Yu, don't think you've won for sure! The game isn't over yet!"
Although Payton knew that the Pacers were at a disadvantage, it did not mean that he would give up!
"No, Gary, the game is over, watch me destroy the Pacers next!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he signaled to his teammates to create space for attack.
O'Neal Jr. started to get nervous when he saw Lin Yu holding the ball at the top of the arc.
Lin Yu is a player with explosive scoring power comparable to Jordan, and he is a headache for the Pacers.
Because everyone knows that once Lin Yu gets into a good mood, he can really win a game easily!
But the embarrassing thing is that the Pacers don't have anyone suitable to defend Lin Yu.
Artest's height and wingspan are not enough, O'Neal Jr. is at a disadvantage in weight, and Jamaal Magloire can't keep up with Lin Yu's speed.
Carlisle had no choice but to let O'Neal Jr. defend Lin Yu.
Facing O'Neal Jr., Lin Yu made a big change of direction and directly used Iverson's skills.
180 Club Achievement Lin Yu chose Curry's skills.
Lin Yu, who was selected into the first team of the best lineup, chose the skills of the bearded player.
Scoring champion Lin Yu chose Iverson's skills.
Throughout the history of the NBA, there are only five players who have been called the "fastest first step" by the media, namely, Jordan, Iverson, McGrady, Grant Hill and Wade.
Apart from these five people, only Rose was mentioned by the media as having the fastest first step.
But Rose is a controversial player. Even including Rose, there are only six players in the entire NBA.
The fastest first step is also a kind of physical talent.
It is different from the fadeaway jump shot and the pull-up jump shot.
After all, skills can be learned, but talent really cannot be learned.
The skill of the fastest first step is the typical one that you can’t learn even if you want to.
Therefore, Lin Yu directly chose Iverson's fastest first step.
