Nelson's strange point guard low singles tactics not only helped the Mavericks catch up to the score, but also changed the game situation of both sides on the court. The Mavericks began to get rid of the passive situation of the first two quarters and mastered the initiative on the offense. Force the Celtics to make changes on the defensive end. The basketball court is a huge chessboard. When one party is forced by the opponent's tactics and has to check and fill in the gaps, when he swings left and right blocks, then he will fall into a passive position in the situation.

To get out of this predicament, you must either regain the initiative with more targeted tactics, or you need someone who can lead the team out of the predicament. Leon tried to change the defensive matchup after the timeout, allowing Reid, who was better defensive, to face Nash. However, when he returned to the game, Nash no longer played back singles, but reorganized the offense, threading the needle, and the Mavericks offense. Already revitalized, Raja Bell made a three-point jumper after two catches from the outside, finally allowing the Mavericks to tie the score in the second half of the third quarter, 67:67, and the two sides returned to the same starting line. The Mavericks only took less than one section of time.

Of course, it was Pierce who stood up and stopped the blood for the Celtics. In the counterattack, he decisively used the breakthrough to cause Finley's foul, sent himself to the free throw line, made two free throws, and the Celtics once again took the lead. . Then the two sides began a canine-toothed hand-to-hand fight, and the score rose alternately. At this point in the game, both sides have been opened, personnel mobilization and tactical changes have been basically exhausted. Perhaps Leon and Nelson have some special tactics in their hands, but they are all used in special stages. In the tug-of-war Not useful. At this time the coach can only be a spectator, watching the progress of the game.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, the score on both sides had become 77:76, the Celtics led the Mavericks by one point, Leon made a staff adjustment before the start of the fourth quarter. He replaced Michael Reid and replaced Steve Kerr. This is the second time the Celtics have set up a double-point guard lineup in this game, which had a very good effect in the first half. But Nielsen seems to have a strategy to deal with it.

Nelson seemed to expect Leon to use double point guards in the fourth quarter, so he didn't use Finley as the second position. Instead, keep Lagabe on the court. Although Bell played in the second position, he can also match the first position in terms of height and flexibility. He asked Bell to defend Arenas, regardless of speed and strength.

"Let go of your hands and feet, hit them with scoring and offense! You have to have the basket in your eyes, and if you encounter obstacles, remember the teammates behind you!" At the same time, Leon was fourth on the sidelines against Arenas Mobilization of Festival. He pulled him to the sidelines alone and said this to him.

Arenas had a good start to the game. As the pioneer in Leon's plan, his constant attacks on Nash completely disrupted the Mavericks' defense. But in the following second and third quarter, the Celtics' offensive focus returned to Pierce and Walker, and Nash used his low post to humiliate Arenas in the third quarter, making Arenas feel Very depressed. Nash, a white man who is thinner and shorter than himself in size, keeps using his back to score and assist in singles, and the arrogant Arenas suffers damage.

When Leon told him to take more offensive responsibilities in the fourth quarter, Arenas nodded without hesitation. In this regard, he is different from other rookies, never stage fright for playing an important role, has strong self-confidence and incomparable determination.

Although it is still a double point guard. But this is not the same as the double point guards in the first half. Arenas was the master in the first half and Cole assisted. Now Leon has Cole as the master and Arenas is the shooting guard. A powerful attack will be launched. Leon originally planned to use this tactical combination in the second quarter, but he hesitated a bit and decided to postpone it, because such a tactic is very risky and he is not prepared to use it as a last resort. Once Cole takes control. Arenas plays shooting guard, the Celtics' retreat and outside one-on-one defense will basically collapse. There is no good rim guard inside, and once the offensive success rate is not high. The Celtics are likely to be defeated in three minutes by a counterattack like the Mavericks frenzy.

But Leon must bet a bet. The difference in hard power between the two teams is obvious. The Celtics took advantage of the home advantage and Leon's tactical skills in the first half to gain a certain advantage, but once it is small With the help of Niu's break-through tactics in the third quarter, the Celtics were obviously unable to keep up on both ends of the offense and defense.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Nowitzki received a three-pointer from Nash on the perimeter, and once again completed the lead. Nowitzki, the Celtics can't do anything about him.

"Nowitzki's three-pointer, the Mavericks' offense is getting smoother and smoother. It seems that the Celtics are in trouble. They also use a two-point guard lineup, but it looks like Arenas is coming to shooting guard. The position. The Mavericks are defending him by Bell, does Arenas have a chance... Arenas catches the ball on the right and hits the inside throw! The ball is in..." Looking back, questioned at Wharton In his tone, Arenas forced a breakthrough from Cole's pass at 45 degrees on the right, and then made a five-footer from the bottom line.

After the goal, Arenas frowned and showed an angry expression. This is what Leon wants to see. He knows Arenas is venting, venting the 30 minutes of depression and the humiliation he suffered in the third quarter.

Don Nelson soon discovered that Lagabere couldn't prevent Arenas at all when he appeared as a shooting guard.

If Arenas has the ball, Bell will cause trouble to Arenas, because Bell who makes good use of k will stop Arenas from starting in time. But now Arenas is playing shooting guard. He is constantly running and with the help of screens. Cole's pass is quite timely. Arenas immediately initiates a breakthrough as soon as he receives the pass. Bale can't keep up with Arenas' quick leg. . Nelson had to replace Bradley in the fourth quarter to protect the Mavericks' basket from Arenas' impact.

But as a result, the Mavericks’ ability to counterattack was also weakened. The Celtics once again had the upper hand. With 3 minutes left before the end of the game, the score between the two sides reached 95:91. The Celtics used Ali. Nass made another breakthrough layup, pulling the score to its biggest four-pointer since the end of the third quarter.

Don Nelson called a timeout, four points, a very dangerous point difference, an offensive round that can't be smoothed out, the Mavericks situation is quite unfavorable. Nelson did not expect Arenas to burst out suddenly. He thought Bell could stop the No. 0 guard, but the effect was not good.

In the last few minutes of the game, Leon gave up his double point guards and replaced them with the regular lineup. Arenas came to the position of point guard and faced Steve Nash again.

"Arenas scored 11 points in the fourth quarter, scored 11 points, and had 3 assists. He washed away the shame of being scored consecutively by Nash in the third quarter. Obviously he is going to play against Nash again. ."

Leon did not arrange tactics for the players during the timeout, but only asked everyone to let go. By this time, apart from the last attack, there was not much need to arrange tactics. The players had entered the state, the last four minutes It will be a struggle of willpower.

The Mavericks quickly launched the offensive with a sideline ball. Nash didn't pause after receiving the ball. With the help of Nowitzki's screen from outside the three-point line, he shot a three-pointer in a narrow space and the ball fell into the basket like a cannonball In the basket, Cuban was blown up from his position, and he was the only one yelling in the entire North Bank Garden.

Nash's three-pointer made Leon pace anxiously on the sidelines, but Arenas appeared very quiet. He slowly advanced through the half-time, facing Nash in front of him, he did not call any pick-and-rolls. He started to get up quickly. He saw Finley pounced from the left. He didn't hesitate, and he decisively dribbled to the right, and then pulled up and shot the three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line!

Leon's heart was lifted to his throat, as did all Celtics fans.

When the ball fell into the basket by hitting the board, the tense air was suddenly diluted, and the dj began to shout Arenas's name. This is a balloon, but luck is also part of strength.

The Mavericks did not stop chasing. Nowitzki made another pick-and-roll with Nash in the high post. This time Nash passed the ball. Nowitzki made a high jumper and scored the third point of the match for Pisa. The difference was reduced to two points again.

At this time, there was only less than one minute left before the end of the game, and the Celtics only had to score one more goal~lightnovelpub.net~ and the game would be pretty stable.

The ball continued to be given to Arenas, but his dribble breakthrough was blocked by three Mavericks players, and was forced all the way to the left bottom line, unable to retreat, and the pass could not be passed. At this time, Cuban who was sitting in the position was about to move again. Arenas was just a few meters away from him. Seeing that he was going out of bounds by mistake, he shouted at Arenas, "You fool, out of bounds, out of bounds." !"

Arenas tried to protect the ball. He suddenly smashed the ball onto Finley's body, but the ball did not pop out of bounds, but toward the three-point line. Others followed the ball to the three-point line, picked up the ball and threw it directly at the left bottom corner.

Cuban grew his mouth and watched the ball throw a big high arc. The ball was thrown in a hurry, but Cuban could feel it flying in the right direction.

"Huh!" The ball is hollow into the net! The North Shore Garden Arena fell into a boil. Don Nelson pinched his eyebrows, and Leon let out a long sigh of relief. Arenas squeezed his fist and waved vigorously, not forgetting to turn his head and point to Cuban, saying "for-you (for you.

Arenas scored 17 points in the fourth quarter and used an incredible three-pointer from the bottom corner to kill the game, the Mavericks, and Cuban. (To be continued.)
