The Godfather of Basketball

The Celtics' adjustments are very effective, and the Rockets seem a little uncomfortable after the start.

"I have to say that Tang Tian really met his opponent this time. The Celtics' coaching staff has proved their strength." Watching the Rockets encounter difficulties again in the opening game, Smith in the commentary seat couldn't help expressing emotion.

"Yes, I figured out a way to deal with it after only three days of rest. The Celtics' coaching staff proved that they reached the finals not only by star strength." Barkley also echoed.

"This year's playoffs are the most intense in the past ten years. You can't go far just by accumulating stars. The Mavericks and the Suns are examples. There are no upsets this year. The two teams in the finals are the two strongest teams. They also gave us the most exciting final." Van Gundy concluded.

Tang Tian couldn't hear what the commentary was saying, but his head was turning rapidly at this moment.

The Celtics' adjustments are very targeted. It seems that Rivers still has a level, not the level of "grandma leading the team can win the championship" that was jokingly called by fans in the previous life.

Pierce scored a three-pointer from the outside line. The game lasted more than three minutes, and the Celtics led the Rockets 12-6.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called a pause, he already had an idea.

The eyes of the fans at the scene were full of anticipation at this time.

In the past two seasons, including the last game, Tang Tian has proved that his timeout is the most efficient in the league.

In fact, not only the fans, but also the three people in the commentary booth were full of curiosity.

It took the Celtics three days to make changes. Can Tang Tian really figure out a way to deal with it in a suspended round?

Back from the timeout, in the Rockets' offensive round, Billups took the ball to the frontcourt and still handed the ball to Yao Ming.

But at this moment, everyone on the scene came to the Rockets to adjust.

Instead of landing at the free throw line, Yao Ming landed directly in the low post.

The other four members of the Rockets pulled all of them beyond the three-point line, giving Yao Ming enough space for low-post singles.

The Celtics' defense fell into hesitation, because the space is wide open, and the Rockets' other four points all have the ability to shoot three-pointers. If they double-team at this time, it is likely to directly give the Rockets an open three-pointer.

It is precisely because the space is wide enough that it is obviously too late to double-team McGrady and then go back to defend.

The Celtics were hesitating, but Yao Ming didn't.

Seeing that there was no double-teaming, he leaned directly against Perkins, and after turning around continuously, he leaned back slightly and shot.

Perkins is a full-tonnage insider, which is very useful against insiders like Howard and O'Neal, but against Yao Ming, he still leans back, and he doesn't even have the desire to jump.

"Shua!"

Yao Ming's small fadeaway made a steady hit.

"It's that simple?" Barkley in the commentary was stunned for a moment.

Smith and Van Gundy also didn't recall it all at once.

After a while, Smith smiled and said, "Yes, it's that simple."

NBA games are like Chinese martial arts. The tactical system is like many martial arts, with ever-changing changes, but when it comes to fighting for your life, you use the simplest moves.

No matter how complicated the tactics are, no matter how exquisite the coordination is, as the intensity of the game increases and the opponents target them, it will become difficult to achieve.

At this time, the most effective and easiest way is to play the star and play strong.

Because McGrady has been playing very well since entering the playoffs, when Tang Tian arranged his tactics, the first thing he considered was how to create more misplaced singles opportunities for McGrady.

But in fact, Yao Ming faced Perkins, this is the most advantageous matchup.

Simple, yet effective.

In the Celtics' offensive round, Ray Allen missed a three-pointer and Millsap received a defensive rebound.

The Rockets attacked the frontcourt and still handed Yao Ming a single.

Perkins raised his center of gravity at this time, ready to interfere at any time.

But it was at this moment that Yao Ming noticed it. Taking advantage of the moment when Perkins' center of gravity was floating, he turned left with a big stride and went directly to the other side of the basket.

Perkins' reaction was fairly quick, and he turned around to defend.

But at this moment, Yao Ming didn't move his foot, and turned his right foot back again, followed by a small hook under the basket.

Shanghai Dance!

Perkins couldn't react at all, and watched Yao Ming send the ball into the basket.

The scene cheered loudly.

Didn't you block McGrady? I still have Yao Ming!

For the Celtics, Pierce made a breakthrough layup and hit a goal to stop the bleeding for the visiting team. Looking back, Billups gave the ball to Yao Ming.

Garnett wanted to recover the basket, but Yao Ming made a pass and directly forced him back.

In the era when most teams were still standing on the inside, Millsap at the fourth position of the Rockets made about 40% of his three-pointers, which is really not dare to take it back.

Seeing Garnett go back, Yao Ming leaned against Perkins and chose the simplest small hook.

Yao Ming has the softest inside touch in NBA history. Even Shaquille O'Neal and Olajuwon, who are known for their exquisiteness at the basket, can't compare with him. This small hook sends the ball in steadily.

At this time, Perkins had all his strength and was completely useless against this technical style of play. He pushed Yao Ming angrily, but was caught by the referee and directly called a defensive foul.

This is still a 2+1.

Yao Ming made an extra penalty and made a steady hit, scoring 7 points in a row.

"Yao Ming~Yao Ming, Yao Ming is terrible~"

The scene couldn't help but sang the familiar Yao Zhi song.

And along with this song, the emotions of the fans on the scene were immediately aroused.

Tang Tian also laughed.

Although he is a time traveler and still has a system, he is different from other people who put tasks and send skills all the time. His system has only released 3 tasks in two years. Not too much.

But this kind of thing is out of his control.

He can't just jump off the building again because the system is not working well, and then be reborn again, right?

Aside from whether you can be reborn again, what if you are reborn as a cat or maggot like in some novels?

Tang Tian is an optimistic and positive person. The system has given him enough. After all, he is a time travel coach. He can do a lot without relying on the system.

The game on the field is still going on, Yao Ming can get whatever he wants in the paint with extremely high efficiency.

The Celtics tried to collect a few times, but the Rockets' outside shooters were also quite good. Billups had 2, Battier and Millsap each had 1, forcing the Celtics to expand again. go out.

After halftime, Yao Ming scored 18 points and 5 assists, playing the best halftime since the playoffs.

And the Rockets also relied on this simple trick to lead the Celtics by 11 points 56 to 45 at halftime.
