Chapter 389： Left - I can't stop winning the prize - Li

"Finally, I think we have to seize the home court. It's better to grab the start and seize the home victory, so that we will have a chance to defeat them." Zuo Li continued.

The Celtics are the famous home court dragon, and the North Shore Garden is the famous Devil's home field in the NBA. The bright green stadium lighting is matched with the parquet mahogany floor unique to the North Shore Garden, and the fanatical fans will make any opponent in the game. Winning here is very difficult.

Fans who have watched the game will definitely be impressed by what happened to Kobe Bryant in the finals last season. The boos, the terrifying atmosphere, and the players who are not mentally capable are really difficult to stand here.

As for this arena, Zuo Li has also heard countless small stories. It is said that in order to ensure the advantage of the Celtics' "devil's home court", the Cardinals would play tricks on the floor to prevent the **** in some areas from bouncing. , it is convenient for players on the court to force opponents into these areas, and then complete the fast break. In the 1980s, "Magic" suffered a lot from these traps. The Lakers were also very smart to draw a "trap map" through video to remind players to pay attention. Do you think That's it, the cardinal doesn't care at all, and the spliced ​​floor is still tricky to change the position.

In addition to the floor, the disappearing air conditioner, the raised basket... In short, as a witness to the history of the NBA, the story of this arena is really too much.

In the past two seasons, the Celtics have a very impressive home win rate. In the last round, they eliminated the Heat by relying on 4 wins at home. Last season, the first two rounds of the playoffs were also the same 4 consecutive home wins to separate the Eagles and the Cavaliers. disuse.

This also established the status of the Celtics playoff home dragon.

On the contrary, they will be extremely uncomfortable in the away game, not only will the hit rate drop, but the defense will also be slack, so if you want to beat them, it is particularly critical to grasp the home field.

"Well, we have to work hard to seize the first two home games and strive to gain an advantage, so that the fault tolerance rate will be greater." D'Antoni obviously understood that, so he quickly made a sufficient plan in the first game.

Simple is one word: do it!

The Knicks are ready to fight in the first game!

As for the tactics, in fact, the Celtics' tactics are very simple. What did they rely on to win the championship last year?

Defense!

With Garnett as the core of the defense, through ubiquitous help defense, the opponent's offense was fragmented. Kobe was extremely miserable in such a defensive system. The scene of being double-teamed by three people in the finals must be impressive.

And what about the offense?

Big Three Singles!

Yes, it is the singles of the Big Three.

It's no wonder that others look down on Rivers, and even the Greens themselves looked down on Rivers after they retired. His offensive tactics are really bad.

Except for the pick-and-roll, it's singles.

This season is relying on Rondo's organization, Ray Allen's off-ball movement and Pierce's flank containment.

But their defense is still not to be underestimated.

As espn analyzed, Zuo Li will encounter the most severe test of his career!

And Sports Illustrated even said: "How good is Zuo Li, the next round will see the truth."

It can be seen that the outside world also knows that the Green Army is a strong defense, and whether Zuo Li can play or not is the key to the outcome of the two teams.

After analyzing their opponents, the Knicks also randomly launched targeted training, time is tight, they must complete preparations within two days.

Earlier, the assistants returned to the training hall and directly threw all the information about the Bulls into the box for the record. The height of one person shows how much the coaching staff and management have done for the playoffs. Work.

In the past two days, the analysis data for the Celtics began to accumulate rapidly. After D'Antoni formulated a specific strategy, it was quickly printed and distributed to every player. It can only be said that it is the best basketball in the world. League, in order to win, is to be professional enough.

The afternoon of May 4th was targeted training. Everyone put on training clothes to simulate the defense of the Green Army, mainly simulating how to play when the left standing inside was double-teamed, as well as the position on the outside. As for the defensive end, Chandler, Larry Hughes, Dragic and Duhon are ready to give everything.

After the training, everyone disbanded at 6 p.m. and went back to their respective houses. The game started on the night of the 5th. Except for the warm-up in the afternoon, there was no more training. It was also to keep everyone motivated. Even Zuo Li wanted to practice more. gone.

"You need rest, we need you," D'Antoni said.

So Zuo Li followed suit, gave up the plan to train more, and went to Times Square for dinner with Ao Mei.

Returning to school, with the evening breeze blowing, the two walked hand in hand on the street next to the campus, where Zuoli could walk freely without being disturbed.

You may know that the battle is imminent. Tonight's sister Ao is very gentle, and she deliberately does not talk about the game. The two chat about some interesting things on campus and the preparations for the filming of the film.

In such an atmosphere, Zuo Li felt that his heart was empty. When he returned home, he fell into sleep. In his dream, he was killing all sides in the playoffs. He was about to win, and one hand was about to touch the last. As for the trophy, Zuo Li was woken up by a rush of bells...

"What's the situation?" Zuo Li answered the phone and glanced at the alarm clock. At 9 am, it was still early for the afternoon training.

"Hey! Boss, you are popular again!" Rich Paul shouted with surprise: "One defense for a while! VP is second! Boss, you are one of the best players this year!"

"Oh?" Zuo Li woke up instantly: "It was announced so soon?"

Saying that, Zuo Li opened his laptop and started searching for keywords on the Internet As expected, the NBA announced three important awards early this morning, namely regular season vp, best team one, two and three teams and best team. Best defensive lineup first and second team.

Among them, the VP was indeed won by LeBron James nadao of the Cavaliers. This is the first time in the career of "Little Emperor" James that he has won this award, and he is also the first player in the history of the Cavaliers to receive this award.

Zuo Li beat Kobe and Wade on the list, ranking second on the list, just one step away from winning VP in his rookie season.

But this is not important. Zuo Li didn't want to compete for this honor. He quickly skipped it and focused on the best lineup.

Best first team: Zuo Li, Nowitzki, James, Wade and Kobe.

Best Second Team: Howard, Chris Paul, Tim Duncan, Paul Pierce, Brandon Roy.

Best third team: Dayao, Pau Gasol, Anthony, Billups, Chris Paul.

The best defensive team is: Zuoli, Garnett, James, Kobe, Paul.

Second team: Duncan, Shane, Artest, Wade, Rondo.

Zuo Li, James and Kobe became the three players who were selected for the best first team and best first defense at the same time!

"Not bad!" Looking at his name, Zuo Li nodded with satisfaction, and being recognized by the All-NBA First Team and All-Defensive First Team proved that his performance was still very good.

"It's not bad!" Rich Paul expressed his dissatisfaction with his boss's modesty!

"This is a double-team rookie season! For the first time in history! This is even better than VP!"
