Chapter 25 Tactical Adjustment? Predict Your Prediction

"Pierce, what's going on? You're going to win the Finals MVP, how could you let an undrafted player blow you up?"

Rivers said angrily.

In the final crucial moment of the last game, Pierce was completely suppressed by Jiang Chen both on the offensive and defensive ends.

This game starts like this again!

Is this the behavior of a team leader?

"Sorry, coach, it's my fault. I will try my best to defend this undrafted Chinese player."

Pierce gritted his teeth and said this, he was also extremely angry.

He felt like he was being played by Jiang Chen.

"It's not about trying your best, it's about making sure!"

"This is a tiebreaker, we can't afford to make any mistakes, because it's very likely that a small mistake in a detail will cause us to lose the championship trophy."

Rivers said seriously, rubbing his brow.

I didn't expect that what I worried about would actually come true.

This Chinese undrafted player has really exploded again.

Now that I think about it, what Jiang Chen said in the post-match interview was not an exaggeration.

Fortunately, he designed a defensive tactic against Jiang Chen overnight.

Hope this tactic works.

"The Lakers' offensive core is Jiang Chen. His most common offensive method is to catch the ball and shoot. So as long as we cut off his connection with his teammates and prevent him from catching the ball, we can prevent him from shooting three-pointers."

As Rivers spoke, he drew a tactic and prayed in his heart that this tactic would be effective.

Otherwise, if Jiang Chen is double-teamed, the Lakers still have a super offensive player who has not yet started to perform.

It's really tricky.

...

Lakers bench.

Phil stood among the players, quickly arranging new tactics.

The opening tactic with Jiang Chen as the offensive core was perfect.

Jiang Chen did not disappoint himself and showed strong strength to help the team gain the lead.

It can be predicted that the Celtics will strengthen their defense against Jiang Chen after the timeout.

So now it's time for Jiang Chen to attract the defense, and then let Kobe and Gasol, the Lakers' duo, start the offense...

The seventh game is not only a battle between the players, but also a game between the coaches of both sides.

I wonder what Rivers would think if he knew Phil's tactics at this time.

After all, Phil accurately predicted Rivers' prediction!

"Jiang Chen made 4 three-pointers in the opening game. He exploded again! It's hard to imagine that he sat on the bench for the entire season!"

"If Phil was willing to give Jiang Chen some opportunities in the regular season, maybe he would have already played up to his worth."

Sun Zhengping said that he was very surprised and a little regretful.

"It's time and fate."

"If there was a chance in the regular season, maybe we wouldn't have seen him explode in the finals."

"I actually like the current storyline. I've been immersed in it for the entire season, and it exploded in one fell swoop, shocking the world. It's simply legendary!"

Old man Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

"Yes! Jiang Chen is the first Chinese basketball player to appear on the NBA Finals stage! He has written the history of Chinese basketball."

"Battle won a championship with the Spurs before, but he didn't get a chance to play in the playoffs!"

Sun Zhengping said, even excitedly.

Life is so incredible, full of changes every moment.

Who would have thought that this "Jiang Three-Pointer" that was complained by countless Chinese fans would become the savior of the Lakers with a stunning success.

You should know that in previous gatherings within the Chinese commentary circle, no commentator or person working in the basketball industry was optimistic about Jiang Chen.

So everyone thought that Jiang Chen would not get a chance to play in the playoffs.

But now, everyone has been slapped in the face.

...

"f**k! It's the fourth three-pointer. Jiang's three-point shooting power remains undiminished!"

"Haha! Good job! You scared these Americans to death and mocked Jiang Chen for bragging. Now you are getting your comeuppance."

"To be honest, after I read the news, I also thought Jiang Chen was bragging, but now it seems that he just told his opponent, but his opponent didn't believe it, and now he is dumbfounded."

"The guy who said he wanted to eat shit while standing upside down can start preparing now. According to this trend, it will be easy for Jiang Chen to make 10 three-pointers in this game!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word. I'm getting ready in the bathroom now..."

"The picture is so beautiful, I can't even imagine it."

"I still want to see bikinis!"

"Who is not single? Raise your paw!"

The comment section fell silent because of this comment...

North Shore Garden Arena.

Pause back.

Both sides still use their starting lineups.

After all, the game had only been going on for three minutes and it was not time to make substitutions yet.

The Celtics took the lead in attacking.

Rondo held the ball at the top of the arc and looked for his teammates, but found that they were all being watched closely, while Fisher, who was defending him, was one meter away.

Because Rondo's shooting ability is extremely poor, the Lakers' strategy is to let him shoot from mid-range and long-range.

Seeing this, Rondo didn't hesitate. He held the ball with both hands and made a long jump shot.

Bang.

A pop-up window appears.

Rondo also shook his head helplessly, having no confidence in his shooting touch at all.

Odom secured the backcourt rebound and then passed it to Kobe.

Kobe dribbled across half court and clearly noticed a change in the Celtics' defense.

As Phil guessed, the focus of defense shifted to Jiang Chen.

At least two players were focused on the pass route to Jiang Chen.

Seeing this, Kobe decisively attacked on his own, broke through the restricted area and faked a shot, completing a mid-range shot.

Swish!

Hollow into the net.

The Lakers continued to expand their lead.

In the next few minutes, Jiang Chen was tightly guarded by the Celtics and had no chance to connect with the ball.

But the Lakers' offensive rhythm was not interrupted.

The star player Kobe began to show his strong offensive ability and scored consecutively.

This made the Celtics' defense a little distracted.

Under the Lakers' super strong defensive pressure, the Celtics' offense was like constipation, sometimes there and sometimes not, and very unstable.

When the first quarter reached the last two minutes, the score was 29:18.

The Lakers already had an 11-point lead.

Rivers stood on the sidelines, watching the team's offense and defense fall into a quagmire, and he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

After playing for such a long time, how could he not see the changes in the Lakers' tactical adjustments?

Phil is so cunning!

Instead of using Jiang Chen, who was in hot form, he was used as bait to create offensive opportunities for Kobe.

And I foolishly put the focus of defense on Jiang Chen.

That's so stupid!

"Double-team Kobe!"

Rivers shouted loudly and changed tactics in time.

I think this Chinese rookie hasn't received the ball for nearly 6 minutes, so his touch should have cooled down!
