Chapter 849 Targeted
The Mavs attack, and Coach Carlisle calls a timeout.
In just 3 minutes, the Mavericks took the lead in changing the lineup at home.The finals are not normal, you can train and give Mitchell a chance to make mistakes.
The Celtics' tactics from the very beginning were obvious, playing in dislocations.
Almost a lineup of five strikers, with an obvious height advantage.
It's not easy to play against Qin Yang, but if Mitchell plays, it's easy to dislocate and attack, and the height difference of more than ten centimeters is easy to play.
Mitchell was replaced and the team replaced Corey Brewer.
In the last round of the series, Brewer played at a critical moment and played perfectly. Although the offensive end was a little awkward, Corey Brewer did a very good job on the defensive end.
The Mavericks attacked, and after halftime, Qin Yang used a cover to single out Kelly Irving.
This time Qin Yang was not polite, and directly forcibly broke through, imitating James's dismissal.There is no suspense for Irving's tragedy, Gordon Heywood assisted in the defense, Qin Yang hit the ground and passed the ball, and Paul George scored a layup.
The Celtics misplaced their offense, and so did the Mavericks.
They are all played with talent.
The Celtics attacked, and after the three swingmen made multiple pick-and-rolls, Al Horford found a chance, turned around and passed Nurkic for a layup.
Al Horford's tactical position with the Celtics is strong.
Low-post offense, tactical screen, high-post support, mid-range shooting, defense defense, these are Horford's tasks. It can be said that if Horford is gone, the Celtics will be really difficult to play.
As soon as Horford opened, Gobert had to disperse part of his energy inside.
On the outside, Irving, Tatum, and Jaylen Brown kept tearing up space, either jumpers, or layups.The Celtics have an amazing touch and played a hearty offense.
Qin Yang led the team steadily without any mistakes, but he couldn't hold back the Celtics' smooth tactics and amazing touch.
The Celtics' favorite pick-and-roll and run tactic.
This kind of tactic is a headache for anyone who encounters it.
After a screen, the ball holder will definitely be able to get shooting space. Even if the Mavericks defend well, as long as the two offensive players cooperate properly, it is easy to get a chance.
In a basketball game, the offensive end is always more favorable.
Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kelly Irving hit a shot just after the pick-and-roll, and the Mavericks were crying without tears.
Qin Yang was very helpless and acted as the background board several times.
At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks players returned to the bench exhausted.
Qin Yang also played very depressed. It wasn't that the Mavericks were weak in this quarter, but that the Celtics were in such a good state that they felt hot.
In other words, the tactics are well coordinated.
Coach Carlisle stood aside, hesitating, and did not change the lineup substantially.
In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith looked incredible:
"I don't think everyone thought about the first quarter. We all thought that the Mavericks took the lead, but now the Celtics have the upper hand in the first quarter."
"Yeah, Boston played a fantastic play, it reminded me of Pat Riley's five-forward play."
Charles Barkley took over the words: "The Celtics' current tactics are like this. If the Celtics can lead the team to win the championship, then this will be another milestone."
O'Neill expressed a different opinion:
"Maybe it will be like this in the future, but I think it's too early to say. The Mavericks just didn't react. When the Mavericks play offensively, the Celtics still can't stop it. I think there is still no suspense for this year's championship, even if the Mavericks lost in this game."
O'Neal is still on the side of the Mavericks.
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley cursed secretly when they heard the words, isn't this nonsense.
Both wanted to say this, but O'Neill preempted them.
"I think so too. Maybe the outcome of this game is in suspense, but in this round of the series, the Mavericks still have a high probability of winning. In the first quarter, Bruce didn't show off his power. He just scored 13 points and 3 assists in a satisfactory manner."
The performance of 13+3 in a single quarter is absolutely amazing when put on others.
But for Qin Yang, normal operation.
After the timeout, coach Carlisle replaced Qin Yang. This is still a normal tactic, and no changes have been made.
"Don't worry, play steadily. If you don't have a good opportunity, don't make a big fast break. If you fall into a positional battle in the half court, you should decisively shoot three-pointers when you have opportunities from the outside, and add more air-cut passes."
Carlisle's arrangement is very ordinary, and it is done countless times in normal training.
But it is the safest.
Are there any downsides to the Celtics' tactics?
Yes, and it's big.
If it was the Magic team that Qin Yang belonged to ten years ago, it would definitely have restrained the Celtics to death. Warcraft at its peak, coupled with outside defense and shooting lineup, could easily sweep the Celtics.
Because now the Celtics rely too much on outside shooting and layups.
The four forwards and guards are all good at shooting and breaking through, but the result is that except for Irving, everyone else is relatively mediocre.
As long as the outside line can be defended and there is a peak Howard inside, the Celtics will definitely be deflated.
Too bad the Mavericks' roster isn't like that.
Although Gobert is excellent defensively, he is not of the same type as Howard, and he does not have the dominance of Warcraft at his peak in the interior.
Rebounding and top defense are much worse, and even assist defense is worse than Warcraft.
Without Howard, this restraint would not work.
Coupled with Nurkic's slow movement speed, it is even more difficult to play.
So the Mavericks' tactics can only be simple.
Carlisle really wants to send Mitchell, because the Celtics' lineup actually suffers from a fast defender.
If the height advantage is obvious, the speed will definitely slow down. This is an irreversible truth.
Even Qin Yang would be a little embarrassed when defending against a small point guard, especially Iverson, especially for other swingmen.
If Mitchell is in good form, he will definitely catch the Celtics by surprise. Unfortunately, Mitchell is in poor form, and Carlisle gave up directly.
In the second quarter, the game continued.
Qin Yang wasn't on the court, and the Mavericks didn't mess around.
A championship-level team will never be strong by one person, but by a group of people. One person cannot influence a group of people.At this time, the team sent Cousins, McGee as an inside partner, and Paul George continued to play outside, with James Ennis and Belinelli.
After 6 minutes of the second quarter, after the lineup was determined, the Mavericks also showed a very solid offensive and defensive strength.
However, the gap is still widening.
The Celtics were very targeted in this game. The first quarter was aimed at Mitchell's height, and the second quarter was really aimed at the Mavericks' instability inside.
McGee is prone to fouls, and Cousins is also a big fouler.
The goal of the Celtics in the second quarter is very clear, to attack the inside, and to play hard inside when there is a chance. Whether it is a layup or a foul, it is a very good method.
As a result, after the second quarter, Cousins and McGee got six fouls, and Qin Yang scratched his head off the court.
Coach Carlisle also had a big head, but he didn't make a substitution.
