The Celtics faced the stag NBA Christmas wars today and started fighting at 6 a.m., almost.
First of all, this should be the most friendly time for Chinese fans in the recent Celtics Christmas Eve matches. In the past, it was not 1 o’clock or 3:30, and every time it was Monday morning, it’s like a deal.
Back to the morning game, the Celtics had a big victory at home. Tatum scored 20 points in the third quarter, and Jay Brown scored 13 points in the last quarter, win the game.
Tatum scored 41 points today and gained several small honors:
Tatum today became the first player to win more than 40 single games on Christmas Eve since Harden, Owen and Durant.
Tatum got 41 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals Today. He was the third in NBA NBA Christmas Wars history. The top two were McGrady and Lord Joe, the God of basketball.
Today is the sixth time that Tatum has played a single game of 40 + this season, and he is the first in the league with dongcheqi.
In addition, after today’s face-to-face Victory over brother alphabet, Tatum also added another vote for his competition on the MVP list this season. In the previous competition, tatum won all the players in the top few of the MVP list with the most intense competition (the highest voice). The data is as follows:
He scored 35 points when facing enbide (7th in the MVP list);
Get 39 points in the face of Morant (5th in the MVP list);
He scored 34 points in the face of yokedge (No. 2 in the MVP list);
He scored 37 points in the face of Dong Qiqi (7th in the MVP list);
Get 29 points in the face of Durant (4th in the MVP list);
Get 25 points in the face of Booker (10th in the MVP list);
In the face of the letter brother (MVP list No. 1) got 41 points.
I don’t know what Tatum will be ranked next when the MVP list is updated…
After talking about Tatum’s situation, Jay Brown also got a small milestone in his career today.
Jay Lun hit 5 three points in the game today, and the number of three-point hits in his career reached 799. He has surpassed Ray Allen and ranked fifth in the Celtics young pioneer team history three-point list.
There are still 4 people in front of Jay Brown:
Paul Pierce (1823 notes)
Antoine Walker (937 notes)
Jason Tatum (931 notes)
Marcus Smart (850)
Beyond smart this season? I guess I have a chance to see the average number of hits.
Talk about the game itself.
First of all, I may say something like this, but I think that the stag was voted like this by the Celtics in the eastern semi-final of last season:
Maybe many fans still think that the stag’s defense is L-Drop from last season (that is, potty chair in our mouth), but in fact, the Bucks were the best defensive three-point team in the league for a long time before the season.
The picture of the stag’s three points after the cover of the opponents last season disappeared this season. Brook Lopez (currently leading the DPOY award this season) stood up to freethrow line this season after being covered, force the opponent to challenge his defense fengshui ball.
In addition to the defense of the positional battle, the Bucks played a lot of partial 1-2 joint defense-usually one of Allen/Matheus, COINER and holladeh watched, and the remaining two cooperated horizontally, with Daluo standing pile, there is only one letter left.
Therefore, after losing to Xiaokai in the semi-final, the stag’s defensive meaning was quite obvious-they really wanted to choke you with three points inside.
However, in the last two games, the stag will appear a little too sensitive on the three-point line. They often appear the picture of two people going to jump on the line.
As you can see, Dalo didn’t sink inside freethrow line as before, but COINER and hollerdi were too sensitive to Tatum’s action. COINER gave up smart at the bottom corner, then there appeared the scene of NBA Christmas wars relish today (even in the future) ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
Another detail can also show that the stag really wants to defend against the Celts with some three points:
At the end of the first quarter, the stag used the expanded version of the above-mentioned partial “1-2” defense to defend the Celtics for the last sideline ball. The Letter brother Drop was at freethrow line, and then Portis was responsible for sweeping the passing line in the middle road, it successfully blocked Jay Brown’s reception route in the middle road.
I just never thought that Hauser was the last meeting point in the middle road.
Why is this ball stag too sensitive?
Observe the position of Matheus. Under normal circumstances, when the sweeper has expanded from the middle to half court, the defender of the second defense should return to the position of the ball point, that is to say, when matheus saw the appearance of portis, he should go to the location of COINER in the middle road, and receive the ball in the middle road, he should go to the location near the referee in the lower right corner of the GIF motion picture to prevent his hand.
But Matheus didn’t come back. He was worried about the receive the ball on Jay’s side and the Lowe behind him. At COINER, he could only go to the middle of the card first and then follow the defense Hauser, giving Hauser a chance to make a super-far move.
Then, just before the end of the half-time, the three-point foul that bortis made jay’s meal unappeasable was also a performance of being too sensitive to three-point.
But then again, the top two balls didn’t run away today’s top five of the top ten balls, right?
Finally, let’s talk about mazula.
Marzula and Celtics had been unable to catch a breath after the six-company guest.
In these games, the Celtics lost countless empty spaces and three points, and a series of empty cuts were missing. The defensive rebound protection also had problems.
I thought that Lowe’s return could at least solve the problem of protecting rebounds, but in the four games after returning to home, Celtics lost three games, however, the only game to win (not today) Rowell has not played yet, but when we backtrack these three losses, the Celtics still can’t make a three-point slot, the backboard still cannot be protected… this has led many fans to question whether there are problems in marzula’s system, and many media also question why marzula does not use the twin towers lineup, whether it will be handsome or not.
At first glance, it is indeed the case. These two statements have some truth, but I think some things still need to be carefully figured out. After all, Ma Zula is a coach in his 30 s, he has always insisted on his own style of play, and once played the team’s attack into the system of the highest attack efficiency value in the history of NBA76 years. Just because a series of vacant opportunities of players in several games were not successful, they would be pushed back, that is definitely impossible.
If this is pushed back, it will not be marzula’s own face, but Stevens’s face.
In addition, the matter of losing rebounds and not using the twin towers was indeed related to the team’s lineup at that time.
When fighting the sun away from the West, mazula had already started to use Drop to protect the rebound, which also gave his opponent many opportunities to shoot in three point line and free throws, then it is quite clear:
Griffin/conette/Feng Lai can’t stand out with Horford for two towers relieve a garrison, I can’t point hard at the old Horford and Tatum, the player who has been injured and has played the most time in the league. Is it true that I have been fighting and mopping?
Besides, after a big four small Drop, the opponent really couldn’t make it, and the team still won a big victory…
You can’t just accept winning by this thing, don’t accept losing because of this thing, right?
However, in the second half of the game to beat the Timberwolves, Ma Zula put up his previous Drop suit at the right time. The team played relieve a garrison, and finally the team won 20 + in the last quarter of Jay Lun.
Today, with the stag, marzula also put out two towers to fight against the stag…
(You see, actually mazula still has a small mind, he just likes chewing gum…)
In the 8 minutes of the second Festival (with a score of Kai 44-36 leading), Ma Zula put out the first twin towers (chef Huo and Griffin): Hoford was responsible for sweeping and feeding meals, and Griffin was responsible for standing pile and cutting into the bottom line.
This lineup played 2 and a half points, plus or minus value-4. When Gewei replaced Griffin, the Bucks played a wave of 8-3.
It was also within 2 and a half minutes that Tatum shot only once. There were two people in front of him and he got one point (or a technical foul free throw). The Stag gave Griffin a chance to score later, one three points and a basket shot failed to enter (what a pity).
However, at the moment Ge Wei came up, the Celtics pulled the lead to 7 points, which also gave birth to the famous scene of dividing Yannis.
At the end of the festival, Ma Zula took out the starting lineup of the Celtics last season (Lowe + Horford). The team started 4-1 relieve a garrison, and Lowe was responsible for the sweep.
However, the positive and negative values of this lineup are also negative,-3. At the end of the half, the Celtics were only one point ahead.
(The blame is that Jay Lun’s free throw is too many…)
In the third and fourth sections, when Tatum and Jay lun both opened, Ma Zula used a big four small-Horford, Rowell, Griffin & connet to divide the 24 minutes.
If we see a good aspect, the scheduling of this game, mazula, has made progress. The relieve a garrison & Sink + joint defense package has been used once, and the two towers, one big four and five small ones have also appeared.
Although the twin towers will take up a little space to make Dunk point for Lowe in the attack, it should not be a big problem for the team to run in again, after all, this is the best lineup of the Celtics in the last moment of the impact.
Plan B has been practiced for more than 30 sessions, and marzula gradually has to practice plan A.
