The Bulls stubbornly chased the total score to 3-3, and Wang Jun's shot was very morale-boosting.He chipped in 41 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, almost scored 4010, dominated the second half, and Lewis and Calderon also scored double-doubles.The Celtics had four players score in double figures, but none of them scored much, with Garnett having the most 22 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, while no one else had a 20.The Green Army has played seven consecutive series games, and each round has been very difficult, making fans doubt their prospects, and even if they make it to the finals, it seems that they will not be able to beat the Lakers.At the press conference, Celtic expressed confidence in advancing at home, and they have won at home every time, and it is natural for them to become accustomed to it, which is their biggest advantage.The Bulls played their first two championship playoffs smoothly, and played a tie-break with their opponent for the first time, so Coach Skels kept a low profile."
Celtic rarely lose at home and we'll do our best to win and leave no regrets."
The reporter asked: "The Celtics are a veteran team, do you think physical fitness will be the biggest advantage of the Bulls" Skels said disdainfully: "In addition to Kassel in their rotation, the oldest person is 33-year-old Ray Allen, where is the veteran team, physical fitness is by no means the weakness of the Celtics."
On the contrary, I think their player composition is where the strength lies. ”The Celtics don't have major injuries, and the combination of newcomers and old fritters, experience and drive makes them one of the toughest teams in the league.The reporter asked Wang Jun how he felt about the lore, and Wang Jun said with a smile: "There will always be a reward for your efforts." ”One of the things he is most proud of is that he doesn't rely on the system, and even if the training system disappears now, he is still a star, not an ordinary person all at once.He didn't use apprenticeship card props to practice throwing, and he didn't need system prompts, he practiced by himself after asking Hornacek for advice, and the results were not bad.Last season, he couldn't shoot the game-winning shot, and after a missed step, he made a pull-and-go jumper, and Tony Allen was able to catch up with the interference from the side.He's stronger now, thanks to disdainful effort.Fans just saw him finish the lore with a light throw, just to see him get a high salary, but they didn't know how much sweat he put in behind him.Almost every successful person who has stepped on the peak has suffered hardships that ordinary people have not suffered, and only diligence can be unique and reach a height that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.That night, the Bulls flew to Boston together.Abby was not in charge of the interview, did not follow the away game, and stayed in Chicago.Even the people who watched the game felt that they had flown to Boston three times in a row, and they were very tired of playing every other day, not to mention the players of the game, physically, these fierce men could withstand it, and they were almost overdrawn mentally, and the most important test of the tie-break was the spirit of the players.The next day, the Bulls did not train and took the day off to regain their strength.Practicing too much will have the opposite effect, and the Celtics are no longer practicing.Skyles asked Wang Jun to dinner, and the two left the hotel and went to Hongyun Seafood Restaurant, where they ordered two lobsters of more than one pound and a few snacks.Savouring the food, Skels chatted about tomorrow night's game."
Wang, I've figured out a way to make up for the weakness of the No. 1 defense, but it's a bit risky."
Wang Jun asked: "What way" "You play point guard, let Grant and Matt play the No. 2 and No. 3 positions to strengthen the defense, can you do this job" Skyles looked at him expectantly.This is indeed a solution, the Celtics will definitely not be able to get obvious vacancies, and the Bulls are not afraid of misalignment, except for Wang Jun, the other four are all more than two meters tall.Hill's defense is not bad, and at this point he has no reason to make any reservations, he has to fight hard.The problem is that Wang Jun has never played point guard, and at most occasionally makes a cameo as a small forward.Wang Jun began to wonder if he could do it, his ball control skills were very good, and he was rarely tackled in the face of the bag throughout the season, and he was able to control the basketball in the face of Garfield's steals at home.Controlling the ball and finding someone, although he can't give fancy assists, he can pass the ball like Calderón does.He usually watches Calderon play on the team, and he knows how that average of 96 assists per game came about.Probably Calderon is the league's most unpretentious point guard.What he is best at is passing the ball from close range, teammates can give him assists when they receive the ball, cutting the ball within two meters, transferring horizontal passes within one meter, and sometimes it is just a hand-to-hand hand.It's been a season, including training in the team, Wang Jun has never seen Calderon do any unconventional moves, not even passing the ball from behind.So this guy basically doesn't make mistakes, and he has the best assist-to-turnover ratio in the league.Wang Jun thought of James and Turkoglu again.They play as a playmaker, and the point guard on the team actually plays the role of a scoring guard.James can, why can't I not do it, it doesn't mean I can't do it, I can definitely do it, isn't an average of 5 assists per game the best proof that I can already organize the offense.Wang Jun suddenly brightened up, and said with a straight face: "Coach, I have no problem, I can play point guard." ”Skyles nodded."
I think you're okay, it's a pity Matt doesn't shoot well, otherwise we could have won easily."
This is a luxury, players who can attack and defend are all stars, not to mention tens of millions of annual salaries.It's hard to get a situation where the Bulls are so balanced offensively and defensively like they did last season that they don't pay the luxury tax unless they draft a super-rookie and quickly become an instant player.On the Celtics' side, Rivers also studied tactics with members of the coaching staff, mainly for the Bulls' solid defense.In the last two games, Celtic have conceded quite a few points.Tom Thibodeau proposed: "I propose to increase Toney's playing time and let him play point guard after Rajan is off the court, which is actually a playmaking tactic of playing forward, with Paul Pierce controlling the ball, so that the defense will be more solid, and several positions can also be hard to eat the No. 1 position." ”Rivers nodded and asked the first assistant coach, offensive coach Alvin Gentry: "Alvin, do you think we should let Tony play more and reduce the playing time of Ray and Eddie, so that our shooting will be much worse." ”As an offensive man, Gentry doesn't look down on Rondo.He thought for a moment and said, "I agree with Tom's suggestion to let Ray continue to play and reduce the playing time of Rajan and Eddie, Eddie is nothing, and he can't be expected to shoot and pump."
And he wasn't good enough with the ball to organise the attack. ”Eddie House has only one season in his career scoring double-doubles, multiple seasons shooting less than 40%, bad defense, bad dribbling, as a point guard substitute, it is better to use the veteran Cassel.With Kassel the defense is poor, the shooting ability is degraded, and it is not as good as with Tony Allen, the defense is much better.Rivers thought for a moment, didn't make a decision immediately, and said in a deep voice, "I'll think about it again." ”He prefers to have Rondo on the field rather than Tony Allen, and even if Thibodeau repeatedly proposes in the first few games, he only let him play less than 20 minutes.The reason he hates Tony is that Tony is too old-fashioned.Tony rarely took the initiative to communicate with him, let alone invited him to dinner, the two were not friends in private, and Rivers was a nepotism in his bones:
