"Avery, you defended very well, just keep it up in the second half."

"Jay, you shot at the decisive point. No one will blame you if you shoot 0 for 6, 0 for 7, or even 0 for 10. Wait a minute, I will draw two inside tactics for you."

In the Celtics locker room, Stevens did not criticize Bradley and Crowder, who did the worst for the team in the first half.

Because he knows that good things like 7 out of 20 cannot happen to him.

As for Crowder, who is 0 for 5, if he is not encouraged, he is likely to lose his confidence in shooting, which is currently unacceptable to the Celtics.

"Because Thomas' defense needs at least two wipes to wipe it clean, we can't let Bradley and Smart play 48 minutes." This is someone's secret complaint.

"First of all, I want to apologize to you. In the first half, I was too afraid of Yang. In the second half, we need to adjust our previous arrangements."

"Amir, Kelly, when Ishmael Smith, Noel, and Holmes are playing pick-and-rolls, they first delay to the three-point line, put pressure on their pick-and-roll, and force him to release the ball or return to position.

The inside line is recovered by players on both sides to protect the basket. Even if there is Moore in one of the bottom corners, you can boldly recover it.

"Brad, do you need to be so radical?" Changing strategies on the spot has always been a taboo among military strategists, so naturally some people on the coaching staff would raise questions.

"Because of this..." Stevens took out a pile of information from the video crew.

…………

…………

Due to Noel's missed jump ball, the first attack of the third quarter belonged to the 76ers.

When Ismael Smith continued to try to play pick-and-roll with Noel, Olynyk, who was in the three-second zone in the first half, actually came out.

The sudden big delay made Ishmael Smith a little panicked.

Because there are several nearby passing routes that may be interrupted.

Under Smart's pressure, after Kankan protected the ball, Ismail heard a life-saving voice.

"I'm here, give it to me, I'll take care of it."

If the defender is not strong enough, then he has no choice but to step out and catch the ball.

Although nearly one-third of the offensive time was wasted, Yang still had a clear mind and began to adjust the team's position.

First, Covington, who is good at the top of the arc, was pulled back to the free throw line area, and then Moore was allowed to run from the left bottom corner to the right bottom corner.

With Ishmael Smith positioned in the left corner, Young's tactical gesture came out.

Covington and Noel, who were standing at both corners of the free throw line, raised their hands in Young's direction at the same time.

Left? Or right?

He can break out from both sides and make layups from both sides.

The most annoying multiple-choice question for defenders on the basketball court appears

Because once distracted or misjudged...

"Okay, don't worry about it now." Bradley's defense was broken before he could judge which side the opponent was going to take.

Young, who passed the Covington screen and broke through to the free throw line, quickly discovered the Celtics' mistake.

Olynyk stayed in a neither-up nor-down position.

Considering that the opponent wants to score, Young will not choose to throw as they want.

Instead, he suddenly flicked his wrist and passed a pass that the big man least expected to defend.

"Oh-y-god, an imaginative pass, but Noel is not very good at catching the ball." Although Young used Olynyk's crotch to smash the ball into the three-second zone

, but it seems that the height of the bounce cannot reach Noelle’s waist.

Their worries were unnecessary, because Noelle demolished it in advance.

But he didn't move to the three-second area, but to the baseline near the right corner to free up the shooter's air cuts.

For balls that were inconvenient for Noel to catch, Noel Moore was much more comfortable catching the ball. A light layup laid a good foundation for the 76ers to start the second half.

"Don't make trouble. Don't even think about making trouble again."

Perhaps because he was happy, Moore deliberately used Yang’s least favorite pat on the butt to express his happiness.

It's gratifying to see the tactics used in the first attack, but then it's the Celtics' turn to attack.

Young felt something was wrong. Instead of asking Crowder to stay in the corner, they asked him to start coming to the top of the arc and participate in the distribution of the ball.

"Switch defense, E'Twaun guards Smart, Robert, you deal with Crowder, I'll deal with that little guy." Taking advantage of Bradley's free throw, Young pulled Moore and Covington for a short defensive meeting.

Without the two superstars, the Celtics' offense would not be able to hit the 76ers' weaknesses.

But the defensive combination of Smart, Bradley and Crowder no longer focuses on Young.

They embody the value they should have

It caused huge trouble for the rest of the 76ers in the next round.

It made it impossible for them to cooperate, and even the ball couldn't be put into Yang's hands.

With 6 seconds left in the attack time, Moore finally handed the ball to Young in the logo area of ​​the center circle.

"You're going to shoot right now? There are still 6 seconds left..."

Looking at Yang jumping high, Drexler's surprise appeared on his face without any concealment.

In fact, you can't blame him for his disbelief, because for decades, the only people in the NBA who dared to play like this

golden state warriors

"Young~~~~~~" the 76ers home DJ highlighted the result of this shooting that was neither willful nor willful.

…………

…………

"Ken Young pushed Bradley before catching the ball. That was an offensive foul," Stevens immediately began to complain in order to prevent the away game from turning into a crematorium.

"..." Ken Maur ignored Stevens and jogged all the way to the 76ers half.

Perhaps thinking that his behavior just now was a bit rude, Ken Maur rewarded the Celtics in the defensive round.

Called Ishmael Smith's 4th foul under an uncontestable situation.

Smart's 1-of-2 free throws somewhat failed Ken Maur's return.

In order to prevent the subsequent failure to catch the ball, Young, who took off the rebound, did not hand the ball to anyone, but took it to the frontcourt himself.

The Celtics' defensive discipline was very good, and they built a defensive fence in just a few seconds.

If you can't push the fast break, then you can only fight in position.

As the backcourt advanced toward the frontcourt, Young began to think about which team's tactics could avoid Hollis Thompson's cold start, Covington's poor three-point form, and Noel's can only serve as a screener.

At the same time, it was a tactic that was not easily seen through by the Celtics.

Conventional is too conventional, so let’s use some unconventional tactics

So

Moore, Covington, and Noelle come up to cover together!

Passing half court from the left, Young called a three-screen signal.

Covington's first screen was a fake screen because he knew Young didn't want to get Crowder in front of him.

But after the movement started, he successfully blocked Bradley.

It doesn't matter if something went wrong in the plan. Covington reacted immediately, pretending to cut inside, and then immediately turned back 45 degrees to the left.

The second screen is Moore. He is also a fake screen. It also tests Thomas's defensive concentration.

If he doesn't keep an eye on him, Moore, who sneaks into the corner, can punish the Celtics.

It doesn't matter if you keep a close eye, the space has been torn apart.

The third screen is Noel. This time he is not a fake screen, but a real screen.

"Bang"

Bradley out of position

Let Olynyk be exposed to Young again

Front or back, at this moment this question was again placed in front of the Celtics players.

Olynyk was much more decisive than Bradley. He came out of the penalty area decisively.

Since he was not allowed to shoot, Yang was willing to eat whatever he could, and he decisively threw the ball in his right hand near the basket without any fuss...
